A closely followed crypto strategist is predicting deep pullbacks for Waves (WAVES), ApeCoin (APE) and one other altcoin as the digital asset market takes a breather.
Pseudonymous strategist Altcoin Sherpa tells his 171,500 Twitter followers that he sees custom token and decentralized application creation platform Waves correcting all the way down to $20.
“WAVES: Say goodnight.”

Next up is APE, an altcoin created for the Bored Ape Yacht Club non-fungible token (NFT) community. According to Altcoin Sherpa, APE could retrace back to $9.50, which is about 17.5% below its current price.
“APE: Long out of my position; would be willing to buy this one much lower. $8.00 or so. There should be a bounce at $9.50ish though, likely a good scalp entry.”

The trader is also keeping a close eye on Zilliqa (ZIL), a smart contract-enabled blockchain for enterprise solutions. He says that ZIL could further correct to $0.11 after posting a massive 375% rally that saw it spike from $0.05 to $0.218 in just a few days.
“Better to short these types of coins than BTC if you think BTC is bearish. [The] reason is that these had their blowoff tops already and will likely go down if BTC pumps and dump even harder if BTC dumps. Target =$0.11.”
At time of writing, ZIL is valued at $0.127. A correction to Altcoin Sherpa’s target marks a downside risk of nearly 15%.

The Bitcoin Roadmap To $500,000: Analyst Shows How Price Will Get There

An analyst projects Bitcoin could reach $500,000 based on technical chart analysis, mapping out a multi-phase roadmap within a long-term ascending channel. The analyst, Crypto Tice, states Bitcoin has completed the first phase ("First touch") of the pattern and is entering a second phase that could trigger its strongest rally yet, potentially driving a more than 693% increase from current levels above $63,000. This would be followed by a final pullback. This outlook comes as Bitcoin faces significant selling pressure, having fallen 17% over three days to around $61,300, erasing roughly $250 billion in market cap. The downturn has also impacted other major cryptocurrencies like Ethereum. Despite the crypto market decline, U.S. equities remain near highs, creating a notable divergence that some suggest could indicate market manipulation or crypto front-running a potential stock market correction.

Expected $1 Billion Crypto Windfall Shrinks To Fraction In Israel Disclosure Program

Israel's voluntary crypto disclosure program has seen a much weaker response than expected, with only 58 individuals coming forward. Tax authorities had projected up to $1 billion in revenue from the initiative, but early reports indicate declared crypto capital totals only about $50 million. The program offered immunity from criminal charges for correcting past reporting errors, but its lack of an anonymous option reportedly deterred many holders who feared putting their names on record. With an estimated $1 billion in digital assets held by Israeli residents, the disclosures so far represent only a small fraction of the market. The filing window, which has specific conditions and runs until August 2026, remains open.

Breaking News! Anthropic Calls for a Universal Pause in AI Research

Anthropic warns of AI self-evolution, reporting that over 80% of its internal code is now written by its AI, Claude. Productivity has surged, with engineers merging 8x more code than in 2024. Claude's performance on complex, open-ended tasks jumped from 26% to 76% success in six months, nearing human parity. The company introduces a new metric: "AI task duration." In 2024, AI handled 4-minute tasks; by 2026, it manages 16-hour tasks, with capability doubling every 4 months. Claude also reviews code, catching bugs that previously caused outages, and significantly outperforms humans in research tasks like optimizing code (52x speedup) and conducting AI safety experiments. Anthropic outlines three potential futures: 1) Progress plateaus, 2) AI accelerates but humans remain in control, or 3) AI achieves full recursive self-improvement (RSI), designing its own successors. This final path could revolutionize fields like medicine but also risks catastrophic alignment failure if control is lost. The call echoes similar concerns from OpenAI. Anthropic proposes a coordinated pause on AI development—if a verifiable mechanism to ensure all labs comply can be established.

Probability in the Price: How World Cup Odds Are Calculated

**The Probability in the Price: How World Cup Odds Are Calculated** Two major systems released their "championship probabilities" before the 2026 World Cup, and they disagreed on the favorite. Prediction market aggregators listed France at around **17%**, while the Opta supercomputer gave European champion Spain **16.1%**. These numbers look similar, but their production methods are fundamentally different. The market's **17%** is the **price** that clears after hundreds of millions of dollars in trading across platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi, where contracts trade between 0 and 100 cents, directly representing implied probability. This liquidity is provided by crypto-native market makers like Wintermute, though the market still has "the liquidity profile of an early-stage" asset class. In contrast, Opta's **16.1%** is a **simulated frequency**. Its model uses team data (including betting market odds as an input) to estimate match probabilities, then runs **10,000 full tournament simulations**, counting how often each team wins. Which is more accurate? There is **no rigorous, cross-tournament academic study** directly comparing their track records. However, a persistent **longshot bias**—where low-probability outcomes are systematically overvalued—observed in traditional betting for nearly a century, has also been found in modern crypto prediction markets. Research shows low-price contracts on Kalshi/Polymer less likely to pay out than their implied odds suggest. Unlike traditional bookmakers, prediction markets operate on **public blockchain ledgers**, making every transaction auditable and enabling such research. However, price formation is also influenced by **regulatory uncertainty**, as seen in recent US state-level bans and legal battles over jurisdiction. In summary, the "probability" you see is either a **market-clearing price** subject to behavioral biases and liquidity constraints, or a **model-simulated frequency** that partially incorporates market data. The question of which method is more reliable remains open, highlighting the importance of asking: **How was this number produced?**

CLARITY Act News: Coinbase CEO Responds To Dimon While JPMorgan Sees Low Odds Of 2026 Passage

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong responded to JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon's criticism of the CLARITY Act, a crypto regulation bill, calling Dimon's personal remarks "kind of sad" while expressing personal respect. Armstrong argued the bill would benefit traditional banks by providing a clearer regulatory framework and also help crypto companies, urging a focus on passing the legislation. Dimon had stated banks would not accept the current bill and predicted continued resistance from traditional finance. Meanwhile, JPMorgan analysts indicated the odds of the bill passing in 2026 are low, citing time constraints, the approaching midterm elections, and legislative hurdles like stablecoin yield debates.
