#A U.S. trade tribunal sided with Apple on Friday, rejecting Masimo Corporation's push to reinstate an import ban on Apple Watch. The U.S. International Trade Commission chose not to review an earlier judge's ruling that Apple's redesigned smartwatches no longer violate Masimo's patents covering blood-oxygen monitoring technology, effectively closing the case at the commission level.Masimo, now owned by Danaher, retains the option to appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington. The company declined to issue a public statement following the decision. Apple, however, was vocal in its response. "We thank the ITC for its decision, which ensures we can continue to offer this important health feature to our users," the company said, adding that Masimo had spent over six years pursuing legal action, with nearly all of its claims ultimately failing.The legal battle between the two companies stretches back years, rooted in Masimo's allegations that Apple poached key engineers to gain access to proprietary pulse-oximetry technology used for measuring blood oxygen levels. That dispute led to a significant setback for Apple in December 2023, when the ITC blocked imports of the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 after determining they infringed Masimo's patents. To sidestep the ban, Apple temporarily disabled the blood-oxygen feature before reintroducing a redesigned version last August following clearance from U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The updated watches now display blood-oxygen data on paired iPhones rather than directly on the watch face.Masimo continues to fight on multiple fronts. The company has separately challenged Customs' approval of the redesigned devices and is pursuing Apple in California federal court for patent infringement and trade-secret theft. That case yielded a $634 million jury verdict against Apple in November, a ruling Apple has vowed to appeal.Gold is meant to be a ‘safe haven’ in uncertain times. Why is it crashing

Solana price is walking a tightrope and below it sits a pile of liquidation fuel waiting to be lit. What looks like a simple rejection on the daily chart is actually a layered fight between short-term bears and overleveraged bulls, and right now, Solana price is stuck right in the middle of it.

Short-Term Pressure Mounts Near Critical EMA Rejection
Solana price just fell under the 50-day EMA, and it didn’t shrug it off either. The latest daily candle turned red, signaling that sellers aren’t just present they’re active.

Now here’s where it gets interesting. On the 1-day liquidation map, there’s roughly $99.73 million in cumulative short liquidation leverage stacked above price. That’s a crowded short trade. Normally, that kind of imbalance creates a magnet upward markets love punishing consensus.

But that’s not what’s happening… at least not yet. Instead, the price is slipping, suggesting that in the immediate term, the path of least resistance is still downward. In other words, bears are controlling the short-term narrative despite the temptation of a short squeeze.

The United Nations children's agency UNICEF has expressed outrage following the fatal shooting of two contracted truck drivers who were delivering clean water to families in the Gaza Strip. The deadly incident occurred on Friday morning at the Mansoura water filling point in northern Gaza — a critical supply source for Gaza City residents — when Israeli fire struck the humanitarian convoy. Two additional workers sustained injuries in the attack.In response, UNICEF immediately suspended all operations at the site and issued an urgent call for Israeli authorities to launch a full investigation. The agency emphasized that under international humanitarian law, civilian aid workers, non-combatants, and essential water infrastructure must be protected at all times, regardless of ongoing military operations. Israel's embassy in Washington had not issued a response at the time of reporting.The attack comes amid a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas that was established in October, effectively halting two years of full-scale military conflict. Despite the truce, Israeli forces continue to maintain control over a largely depopulated buffer zone covering more than half of the Gaza Strip, while Hamas retains authority over the remaining narrow coastal territory. The ceasefire has been repeatedly strained, with both sides accusing each other of violations.Since the ceasefire took effect, local medical sources report that more than 750 Palestinians have been killed, while Palestinian militants have claimed the lives of four Israeli soldiers. The continued violence raises serious concerns about the safety of humanitarian missions operating in the region and the broader protection of civilians caught in the conflict.International organizations continue to urge all parties to uphold their obligations under international humanitarian law and ensure the uni

Bitcoin rallied hard after Iran said it was reopening the Strait of Hormuz to commercial shipping.

Bitcoin hit the highest level since February, oil prices dropped, Wall Street notched another record, and the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield slipped to 4.24%. But here’s the catch: markets acted as if the reopening had solved the core standoff between Washington and Tehran.

Look closer, though, and the story gets more complicated. The opening is only temporary, the blockade is still in place, mine-clearing operations are ongoing, and there’s plenty of confusion about what Iran has actually agreed to.

Explaining Polkadot's full recovery after it was exploited on Hyperbridge.



The Hyperbridge exploit caused Polkadot [DOT] to lose a significant portion of its market cap, but it has since fully recovered.

The altcoin’s price crashed after a hacker minted 1 billion DOT tokens on Ethereum [ETH] but only sold them for $237K due to lack of liquidity. The team clarified that the actual loss had ballooned to $2.5 million as the team made efforts to recover the funds.

However, the assurance that Polkadot’s core network security remained intact fueled a 17% price recovery.

TRUMP eyes breakout as long positions dominate – Can it happen?
The longer a market stays within a defined range, the more meaningful the eventual breakout tends to be. In TRUMP’s case, price has respected both boundaries cleanly, reinforcing them as key levels.

What is changing now is the pace. The recent push higher suggests that buyers are beginning to test the upper boundary with more intent. It is not a breakout yet, but it is no longer passive movement either.

This shift in behavior often comes just before expansion. The resistance levels at around $3.40 and $4.5 stand as the key targets for the token’s price action in the long run.

Bitcoin falls back to $76,000 as Iran reportedly shuts Hormuz again


One of the biggest short squeezes of 2026 came and went in a single session.

Bitcoin climbed to $78,000 late Friday, triggering $762 million in liquidations across 168,336 traders with $593 million of that on the short side, per CoinGlass.

By Saturday evening hours in Asia, bitcoin had pulled back to $76,091, up just 0.8% on the day, as Iran broadcast that the Strait of Hormuz was closed to maritime traffic again less than 24 hours after its foreign minister declared it fully open.

Two tanker owners told Bloomberg their vessels received Iranian radio transmissions shutting the waterway, with one supertanker reporting gunfire and aborting transit.

State news agency Nour said Hormuz had returned to "strict management and control by the armed forces" in response to a U.S. blockade of Iranian shipping. Several oil tankers that had raced toward the strait Friday on the initial reopening news turned back.

Friday's breakout rally ended up in a $590 million shorts rout, with bets on bitcoin accounting for $381 million in liquidations, the largest share, followed by ether shorts at $167. Shorts outweighed longs by nearly four to one, the cleanest short-heavy breakdown in a liquidation event since February.

The setup had been building for weeks. Funding rates on bitcoin perpetuals were pinned negative, meaning shorts were paying longs a premium to hold their positions.

Friday's Hormuz reopening was the catalyst that flipped it. Crude oil dropped nearly 10% to $85.90 per barrel on the initial headline, and bitcoin broke above the $76,000-$78,000 zone that has capped every rally attempt since the February 5 crash.

President Donald Trump then told reporters Friday night that Iran had agreed to an "unlimited" suspension of its nuclear program, though Tehran never confirmed the claim.
