Dogecoin is still yet to recoup its price decline from last week, which saw it breaking below $0.3. Nonetheless, a key technical signal has emerged on DOGE’s price chart that could send the meme coin on a bullish path for the rest of the year. 

According to crypto analyst KrissPax, who highlighted this key technical signal on social media platform X, the Dogecoin Price Momentum Oscillator (PMO) suggests that the meme coin could be on the verge of another major price surge. 

Dogecoin Price Momentum Crossover

Technical analysis of the Dogecoin price shows that the Price Momentum Oscillator (PMO), a tool used to measure trend shifts and momentum strength, has just recorded a crossover on the 2-week candlestick timeframe. A PMO crossover occurs when the PMO line crosses above or below its signal line, which is typically a moving average of the PMO. 

When the PMO line crosses above the signal line, it suggests that momentum is shifting in favor of buyers. This phenomenon is particularly significant, as it has happened only twice in Dogecoin’s history, in 2017 and 2021. Interestingly, each crossover has led to an interesting price action.

Looking at past instances, Dogecoin’s PMO crossovers have preceded some of its most explosive rallies. The first of such PMO crossovers was in 2017 when the market was about to enter its first significant bull market. After the 2017 crossover, DOGE’s price surged by over 6,000% till it reached a peak of $0.0175. Similarly, the second crossover occurred just before Dogecoin’s historic rally in the 2021 bull market. Back then, the meme coin went on a 36,400% run to reach its current all-time high of $0.73 after the bullish crossover.

DOGE’s Next Move: Analyst Targets $4 Price Level

With history as a reference, KrissPax predicted that Dogecoin’s latest PMO crossover could lead to another significant breakout. Interestingly, the recent PMO crossover had already pushed Dogecoin to multi-year highs, but recent corrections have stalled the bullish momentum.

However, many crypto analysts agree that the Dogecoin rally is set to resume anytime from now. As such, Krisspax predicted that the four-year cycle of bullish PMO crossovers is still in play, and we could be looking at a big move up for DOGE. In terms of a price target, the analyst has set a price target of $4.

Achieving the $4 price target would represent an increase of about 4,110% from its 2024 low, which was recorded immediately before the current market cycle began.

At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading at $0.2619, up 0.18% in the past 24 hours. Reaching the $4 price target would also represent a 1,427% increase from the current price point. However, the first step in achieving this $4 price target would be to break and hold above the $0.3 price level again. Successive short-term price resistance levels to note are $0.4 and finally $0.5.

Understanding Bound in One Article: The "Multi-signature + Timelock" Escape Mechanism and the Off-Chain Matching Black Box

**Title**: Understanding Bound: The Escape Mechanism of "Multi-Sig + Time Lock" and the Off-Chain Matching Black Box **Summary**: Bound Exchange, evolved from the earlier radFi platform, introduces a novel approach to Bitcoin trading by combining self-custody security with exchange-like speed. Its core mechanism relies on a 2-of-2 multi-signature (multi-sig) address for user deposits. One private key is held by the user via a passkey, and the other is held by Bound. This setup requires both keys to sign any transaction, preventing Bound from unilaterally accessing user funds (non-custodial). To address the risk of Bound becoming unavailable, a 3-month timelock is integrated into the Bitcoin script. After this period, users can withdraw their assets with just their single signature, ensuring an escape hatch. For trading, Bound operates a concentrated liquidity AMM. However, as Bitcoin L1 lacks smart contracts, the AMM curve, liquidity management, and trade price calculations occur off-chain in Bound's backend database. On-chain Bitcoin transactions serve only as final settlement receipts for pre-determined amounts. This creates a centralization point: the critical sequence of trade execution—which determines the exact price along the curve for each order—is managed off-chain by Bound in a non-transparent "black box." While the 2-of-2 setup protects user本金 (principal), the pricing and ordering of trades introduce potential operational MEV risks, as the order processing is invisible and unverifiable on-chain. In practice, users can also connect external wallets (like Unisat) for fully self-custodied trading, but this requires manually signing every transaction. The platform currently supports deposits of BTC and Runes only.

Technology Has No Barriers, 24/7 Trading is the Key to Hyperliquid's Success

The article argues that Hyperliquid's competitive edge lies not in technological superiority but in its 24/7 trading model, which fundamentally challenges traditional finance's fixed market hours. Based in Singapore with an 11-person team, Hyperliquid has generated significant revenue and trading volume. Its core advantage is the ability to facilitate trading continuously, including during weekends when major exchanges like the CME are closed. This was demonstrated when Hyperliquid listed a SpaceX pre-IPO perpetual contract on a Sunday, allowing the market to price the company hours before traditional institutions opened. This disruption has drawn regulatory scrutiny from traditional giants like CME and ICE, who cite risks like lack of KYC and market manipulation. However, the article suggests their concern stems from Hyperliquid eroding the "time monopoly" of established markets. The piece contrasts Hyperliquid's synthetic derivatives—pure price-betting contracts with no underlying asset or centralized issuer—with other models like PreStocks (dependent on real股权) and Ondo (licensed but targetable). Hyperliquid's code-based, decentralized structure makes it resilient to takedowns, even if founders face legal action. Ultimately, the author concludes that while it raises legitimate regulatory questions, Hyperliquid's "unforgeable" competitive barrier is the time advantage of non-stop trading, a feature legacy systems cannot replicate.

New Information Laundering in Prediction Markets: How Secrets Blend into Investment Signals

"The New Information Laundering in Prediction Markets: How Secrets Infiltrate Investment Signals In late February 2026, nine linked anonymous wallets on Polymarket placed over 80 bets on specific details of a US-Iran war, winning over $2.4 million with a 98% win rate. This exemplifies 'information laundering'—a destructive flaw inherent to prediction markets. These markets function by aggregating trader supply and demand on an order book to set prices, which represent collective probability estimates. This makes them valuable real-time sentiment indicators for institutions. However, the system cannot distinguish between public information and stolen secrets. Confidential information enters one end, and 'clean' market prices—bearing no trace of their illicit origin—emerge from the other. For example, an insider knowing of an imminent strike can buy contracts at low odds, pushing the price up and disguising the secret as a savvy market signal, then profit massively when the event occurs. Analysts can sometimes uncover these schemes due to the blockchain's transparency, as seen with Bubblemaps. Paradoxically, this same transparency can inadvertently broadcast secrets to adversarial observers, providing them with low-cost intelligence. Current laws, like insider trading regulations focused on corporate information, fail to address this issue, especially concerning events like military actions with no 'issuer.' Jurisdictional challenges are amplified as platforms operate offshore, easily bypassing national bans with VPNs. Recent US congressional investigations and proposed bills aim to ban war betting and trading on non-public information by officials. The core issue is that information laundering is not a bug but a feature: a market that perfectly converts knowledge into price will inherently reward those with the best information, including those who obtained it illicitly. As prediction markets grow, potentially reaching hundreds of billions in volume, society must confront whether it can tolerate a machine that profitably transforms its most guarded secrets into public, tradable numbers."

Trump’s Dual Pressure: When the Iran Deal Meets the Midterm Elections

U.S. President Donald Trump’s efforts to negotiate a deal with Iran are triggering a political backlash within his own Republican Party, as the approach of midterm elections intensifies internal divisions. Reports of a potential agreement—involving a temporary ceasefire, phased sanctions relief, and the unfreezing of Iranian assets in exchange for discussions on Tehran diluting or transferring its stockpile of highly enriched uranium—have drawn sharp criticism from GOP hawks. Key allies like Senators Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz warned that such concessions could allow Iran to recuperate, undermine recent U.S. military gains, and ultimately strengthen a hostile regime. The dispute highlights a broader political struggle for Trump, who must reconcile his "America First" posture with diplomatic compromise while facing a tough electoral landscape. With Republicans fighting to maintain control of Congress and Trump’s approval ratings declining, the Iran deal has quickly become a test of party loyalty and perceived toughness. Public sparring between Trump aides and critics—including former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo—underscores the internal pressure. While Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended Trump’s historically hardline stance, skeptics like Senator Thom Tillis questioned the logic of any deal that leaves nuclear materials in Iran. The outcome now hinges on whether Trump can persuade his party’s hardliners to accept a negotiated exit.
