Ethereum: Are Rumors Of Its Death Premature?
I made up for it later, and I still hold a candle for ETH.
So it is with some pleasure that I see it making a classical breakout:
I don't think I need to draw lines on this chart.
But let me draw some on this:
So you see, I'm not a perma-crypto bear.
This is also an interesting chart:
How I gauge it, bitcoin has outperformed ethereum by 100%, and I must admit, during the crypto winter, I thought the outperformance would go the other way. However, ethereum has faced a lot of competition, particularly from the cool kiddies in Solana-town. It also keeps changing the rules on its ecosystem, and behavior like this, however mild, is liable to take the momentum out of the price.
So now ETH is on the move, and once again it's the role of the crazy treasury reserve idea that is getting the animal instinct aflutter.
So, is this the start of the longed for 'alt season' crypto denizens crave, or was that back at the beginning of the year when pump.fun ran amuck with all the AI agentic pump-dumps of that chapter?
Will the all in BTC-maxis suddenly go ETH-maxi? Will ETH drain BTC?
Google trends says there is life in the old ETH dog yet:
That might mean alt-season II is a possibility. As such, we should look out for some craziness, if that's your trading poison.

Shiba Inu Is Sinking Today -- Is the Cryptocurrency a Buy Right Now?
Key Points Shiba Inu is falling today after an inflation report released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics this morning. Producer Price Index (PPI) inflation in July was much higher than anticipated, and the data is hurting cryptocurrency valuations. Shiba Inu's valuation could face more pressure if inflation continues to run hotter than expected. 10 stocks we like better than Shiba Inu › Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB) is moving lower on Thursday. The cryptocurrency was down 7.3% over the past 24 hours of trading as of 5:15 p.m. ET -- a stretch that also saw Bitcoin fall 3.9% and Ethereum fall 4.4%. Shiba Inu is seeing a valuation contraction today as a result of the latest Producer Price Index (PPI) report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). PPI tracking showed inflation of 3.7% in July -- a level that came in substantially higher than the 3% range that economists had been expecting. Core PPI, which backs out the food and energy categories, increased at a 0.9% sequential monthly rate, the highest jump seen since 2022. The latest inflation report is making investors think that the Federal Reserve could deliver fewer interest rate cuts this year than previously anticipated. And that's prompting some significant pullbacks for Shiba Inu and other cryptocurrencies. Is Shiba Inu a buy right now? While Shiba Inu does have some development network and metaverse projects that could help strengthen its valuation case, the cryptocurrency is still a meme coin first and foremost. Along those lines, momentum for the broader cryptocurrency space and investor appetite for risky, speculative investments are two of the biggest factors that drive its valuation moves. Interest rate policy has historically been one of the biggest catalysts in that regard, with lower rates typically being far better for the crypto market. Investors are still betting that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates at its meeting next month, but a cut could come in lower than some investors are hoping, even if one does arrive. Additionally, rising inflation raises the possibility that other rate cuts may be pushed further out. With some signs that inflationary pressures caused by tariffs may be arriving after taking longer than expected to show up in the economy, investors may want to hold off on buying Shiba Inu right now and focus instead on backing cryptocurrencies and stocks with more solid fundamental valuation cases.

Mark your calendar, this could be the iPhone 17 launch date
What's happened: The first iPhone 17 launch date leak has landed, and it points towards Tuesday 9 September as the day for Apple's next iPhone event. Meanwhile, the iPhone 17 release date is said to be September 19 (the day you'll actually be able to get your hands on the new phone) – so there might not be long to wait at all. The dates have been shared by German site which claims to have 'internal information from German mobile phone providers' (translated). If accurate, it means the iPhone 17 launch is just over a month away, and will take place just 20 days after Google's Pixel 10 event on August 20. This is important because: This is the first iPhone 17 release date leak which feels like it might have some weight behind it, helping us zero in on when we'll learn about Apple's next generation of smartphones, and when they'll go on sale. Previous iPhone launches have been held in early-mid September, so the latest date leak does fall in line with expectations. iPhone 17 (2025) – rumored Rumored launch date: Tuesday 9 September Rumored release date: Friday 19 September iPhone 16 (2024) Launch date: Monday 9 September Release date: Friday 20 September iPhone 15 (2023) Launch date: Tuesday 12 September Release date: Friday 22 September iPhone 14 (2022) Launch date: Wednesday 7 September Release date: Friday 16 September iPhone 13 (2021) Launch date: Tuesday 14 September Release date: Friday 24 September Why should I care? Apple's iPhone launch events continue to be one of the biggest tech events of the year, with interest from people around the world. Once an iPhone launch date is locked in, things tend to slide into place. Apple's pattern of launch and release sees new iPhones go on a sale the Friday of the following week after launch – which lines up nicely with this new leak. New iPhone pre-orders tend to open the Friday of launch week, which if this rumor is accurate would mean iPhone 17 pre-orders could open on Friday 12 September. So if you're tempted by what Apple might have up its sleeve, we'd recommend you start getting your finances in order now. Recommended Videos Okay, what's next? We're penciling in an Apple event for September 9 on our calendar, with a potential iPhone 17 on sale date for September 19. We'll have to wait for Apple to confirm the exact date however. Apple tends to send out invites to its September launch event around two weeks before, so we could be looking at August 26 for invites to land. Rumors suggest we'll get the usual quartet of new handsets in the form of the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Plus, iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max – but they could be joined by a new, fifth option for this year. There has been a lot of chatter around a super slim iPhone 17 Air, set to rival the Galaxy S25 Edge – so keep your eyes peeled for this svelte offering. Via MacRumors

Apple Watch getting redesigned blood oxygen feature following legal dispute
Apple on Thursday announced a redesigned blood oxygen feature for some Apple Watch users, following a yearslong intellectual property dispute over the capability. Apple said the redesigned feature is coming to some Apple Watch Series 9, Series 10 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 users on Thursday. The update was possible because of a recent U.S. Customs ruling, the company said. In 2023, the International Trade Commission found that Apple's blood oxygen sensors infringed on intellectual property from Masimo, a medical technology company. Apple paused the sale of some of its watches and began selling modified versions of the wearables without the blood oxygen feature. 'Apple's teams work tirelessly to create products and services that empower users with industry-leading health, wellness, and safety features that are grounded in science and have privacy at the core,' the company said in a release announcing the feature rollout. CNBC has reached out to Masimo for comment. Users who do not currently have the feature will be able to access it by updating their iPhone to iOS 18.6.1 and their Apple Watch to watchOS 11.6.1, Apple said. Users will be able to see their results in the Respiratory section of the Health app. Apple has been pushing deeper into health care in recent years. The company recently released a sleep apnea detection feature for Apple Watch users and hearing health features for its AirPods headphones. In February, Apple launched its first major health study in five years.
