Holds $0.19 Base as ‘Smart Money’ Eyes Breakout Attempt

by admin
written by admin

DOGE steadies after a volatile week, grinding higher through Friday as desks see renewed interest from institutional and corporate wallets. Volumes remain heavy, but the tape looks cleaner — buyers defending the $0.188 base with conviction. Traders say positioning is quietly turning constructive into the weekend.

News Background

  • DOGE’s rebound comes as broader risk assets stabilize following heavy midweek liquidations. The meme token added roughly 3% in the 24 hours to October 19 08:00, trading from $0.186 lows to a $0.191 peak.
  • Market chatter points to new inflows tied to treasury allocation pilots following House of Doge’s Nasdaq debut, drawing early corporate curiosity into crypto balance-sheet exposure.
  • Institutional desks flagged a breakout around 17:00 UTC on Thursday as DOGE ripped from $0.187 to $0.191 on 276 million in volume — four times its average.
  • That impulse marked the first convincing high-volume bid since last week’s trade-war flush and defined $0.188 as new support.

Price Action Summary

  • DOGE’s 24-hour range hit roughly 3% between $0.186–$0.191, with bulls maintaining control through the U.S. session.
  • Price action flattened into late Asia hours, with volume tapering — a classic sign of passive accumulation rather than forced liquidation.
  • The final hour saw a brief dip to $0.188 before a snap recovery through $0.190 on a burst of 8.7 million in volume, confirming interest from algorithmic buyers defending the line.

Technical Analysis

  • Price structure stays constructive above $0.188. Momentum bias turns positive as funding normalizes and short exposure clears.
  • A decisive push through $0.192 opens the path toward $0.197–$0.200 — the upper boundary of last week’s distribution zone.
  • Failure to hold $0.188 would re-expose $0.182–$0.180 supports, but flow data suggest bids remain firm below spot.

What Traders Are Watching

  • Traders are eyeing a clean break through $0.192 to confirm continuation. On-chain trackers show moderate whale inflows resuming after early-month distribution.
  • Treasury desk activity remains the wildcard — any follow-through from corporate accumulation could turn this into a sustained base rather than a dead-cat bounce.

Is Smart Money Exiting? Whales Dump Solana, Aave, and Aster

by admin
written by admin

In brief

  • Whales are dumping SOL, AAVE, and ASTER, moving over $120M in assets to exchanges.
  • The sell-off contributed to the crypto market cap dropping by over 5% as altcoins posted losses on the day.
  • One entity took a $5M loss on ASTER, signaling a rush to exit rather than hold through volatility.

Whales are offloading significant altcoins, testing the crypto market’s already fragile state and hindering its recovery.

The “smart money” retreat comes amid a broad market downturn.

The total crypto market capitalization has shed over 5% in the past 24 hours, dropping to $3.67 trillion, according to CoinGecko data. Ethereum, Solana, Cardano, and other major altcoins are posting losses of between 6% and 9% as they follow Bitcoin‘s steady decline, Decrypt previously reported.

The sell-off is widespread across asset types.

A Solana whale that had successfully traded meme coins in the past sold 61,845 SOL, worth approximately $11.5 million, over a four-hour period on Thursday, according to blockchain data.

A whale who nearly faced liquidation in April while using a looped borrow strategy to go long on AAVE has now opted to sell, EmberCN, a popular on-chain analytics account, tweeted on Thursday.

Over eight hours, the whale sold 88,227 AAVE worth $19.8 million, according to on-chain analytics platform Arkham, to repay all outstanding loans and exit the leveraged position.

Systematic selling is also hitting relatively newer tokens.

A whale that previously held 64.535 million ASTER has been systematically transferring its holdings to the Binance exchange, according to on-chain data. In the past week alone, it moved 58.608 million ASTER, worth $92.25 million, and appears to be nearing a full exit.

While transfer to exchanges is commonly considered as an intention to sell in the crypto space, it could also be done for margin requirements or staking as well. Hence, the recent Aster transfer is not a straightforward profit-taking transfer.

Another entity that participated in the World Liberty Financial public sale and later accumulated Aster has now transferred its 8.282 million token holding back to Bybit on Thursday.

With the recent market volatility and extended downtrend, the Aster whales have an unrealized loss of more than $5 million.

The sentiment is reflected in the prediction market Myriad, launched by Decrypt’s parent company DASTAN, where users place just a 6% chance on Aster hitting $4 in November.

“It’s not uncommon to see whales offload or de-risk after last Friday’s major market drawback,” Deebs DeFi, a pseudonymous on-chain analyst at Bubblemaps, told Decrypt, adding that, “They may be fearful of a future black swan event.“

The coordinated selling across different wallets and assets paints a picture of large players reducing exposure, taking profits where available, and cutting losses where necessary, underscoring the persistent risk-off sentiment.

SNS Technologies Warns Bluffton Businesses About Holiday Phishing Scams and Offers Smart Protection Tips

“Awareness is your first defense, but technology should be your shield,” Ray said. “Our goal is to help Bluffton residents and small businesses enjoy the holidays–without falling victim to scams.”

SNS Technologies warns Bluffton businesses about the rise of AI-driven holiday phishing scams and shares expert tips to stay protected this season. Learn how to safeguard your inbox with smarter email security.
Bluffton, SC – As the holiday season approaches, SNS Technologies [https://snstechnologies.net/] is warning Bluffton businesses to be on alert for a sharp rise in phishing scams-cyberattacks that often target shoppers, businesses, and charitable givers during this busy time of year.

According to Michael Ray, spokesperson for SNS Technologies, the tactics behind these scams have evolved dramatically.

“Phishing isn’t just about suspicious emails from fake princes anymore,” said Ray. “We’re seeing AI-generated messages and realistic social engineering that can fool even cautious users. The threats look authentic-and that’s what makes them so dangerous.”

In a recent report [https://snstechnologies.net/phishing-scams-are-evolving-heres-what-you-need-to-know/] on their website, SNS Technologies explained how cybercriminals are using AI tools to craft convincing messages that can bypass standard spam filters. Some attacks now embed hidden HTML and CSS code in legitimate-looking emails-tricking users into clicking fake support links or calling fraudulent help lines.

Another emerging scam involves impostors posing as journalists, reaching out from phony TechCrunch social media accounts to PR professionals and business owners. Once trust is established, the attacker sends a malicious link disguised as an interview request-resulting in stolen credentials or malware infections.

SNS Technologies says these examples reflect a broader trend: criminals are manipulating trust itself.

“People tend to act quickly when they believe something is urgent or credible,” Ray added. “That’s exactly what these scams exploit.”

To help residents stay safe, SNS Technologies recommends several key steps this holiday season:

*
Pause before clicking – Hover over links to verify URLs.

*
Be skeptical of urgency – Scammers rely on panic or excitement to get you to act fast.

*
Check the sender – Even familiar names can be spoofed.

*
Use email protection tools – Layered security is essential as attacks become more sophisticated.

SNS Technologies provides advanced email protection solutions designed to detect and block phishing attempts before they reach your inbox. Their system uses intelligent filtering, real-time threat analysis, and adaptive learning to evolve alongside the latest cyber threats.

“Awareness is your first defense, but technology should be your shield,” Ray said. “Our goal is to help Bluffton residents and small businesses enjoy the holidays-without falling victim to scams.”

North Korea Hackers Embed Sophisticated Code Exploit in Smart Contracts

by admin
written by admin

North Korean hackers have adopted a method of deploying malware designed to steal crypto and sensitive information by embedding malicious code into smart contracts on public blockchain networks, according to Google’s Threat Intelligence Group.

The technique, called “EtherHiding,” emerged in 2023 and is typically used in conjunction with social engineering techniques, such as reaching out to victims with fake employment offers and high-profile interviews, directing users to malicious websites or links, according to Google.

Hackers will take control of a legitimate website address through a Loader Script and embed JavaScript code into the website, triggering a separate malicious code package in a smart contract designed to steal funds and data once the user interacts with the compromised site.

The compromised website will communicate with the blockchain network using a “read-only” function that does not actually create a transaction on the ledger, allowing the threat actors to avoid detection and minimize transaction fees, Google researchers said.

The report highlights the need for vigilance in the crypto community to keep users safe from scams and hacks commonly employed by threat actors attempting to steal funds and valuable information from individuals and organizations alike.

The threat actors will set up fake companies, recruitment agencies and profiles to target software and cryptocurrency developers with fake employment offers, according to Google.

After the initial pitch, the attackers move the communication to messaging platforms like Discord or Telegram and direct the victim to take an employment test or complete a coding task.

“The core of the attack occurs during a technical assessment phase,” Google Threat Intelligence said. During this phase, the victim is typically told to download malicious files from online code repositories like GitHub, where the malicious payload is stored.
