The post OP Price Prediction: $0.15 Target Within 7 Days as Oversold Bounce Builds appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Peter Zhang May 31, 2026 07:54 Optimism sits precariously near Bollinger Band support at $0.11 with RSI at 40, but aggressive buying pressure and smart money positioning at 59% long suggests a technical bounce to $0.15 resistanc… OP’s Technical Reality Check Optimism has carved out a classic oversold setup that’s begging for a relief rally. With RSI sitting at 40 – not quite oversold but clearly showing seller exhaustion – and the token hugging the lower Bollinger Band at 0.20 positioning, buyers are getting their first decent entry in weeks. The MACD histogram sitting at dead zero tells the real story: momentum has completely stalled, which typically precedes directional breakouts rather than continued grinding. The price action around $0.12 is painting a textbook bottoming pattern. This technical configuration across Layer 2 tokens has historically

The post Ethereum And BNB Chain Lead Top 10 Blockchains By Developer Activity appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The developer community’s performance often plays a crucial role in measuring the blockchain ecosystem’s pulse. Particularly, over the past month, Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Polygon have held the leading positions based on developer activity. As the data from Santiment suggests, the other notable names include Arbitrum, Solana, Cosmos, Optimism, Avalanche, Gnosis, and Harmony. Nonetheless, when it comes to the individual performance of these platforms, the developer activity has notably declined over the past 30 days. Ethereum Tops Blockchains in Monthly Developer Activity with 38.4K Events and 904 Contributors Ethereum remains the top player in the blockchain sector when it comes to developer activity. In this respect, the blockchain network has recorded a total of 38.4K developer activity events over the month. This figure highlights a 17.35% decrease. In addition to this,

The post DeFi’s automated yield protocols were built for retail, now they just add another layer of risk appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Automated yield protocols built DeFi’s most persuasive retail pitch that depositing into a vault was all a user needed to do, with the protocol handling everything else. For users wanting exposure to Curve’s boosted yields without manually managing CRV locks, vote power, wrappers, gauges, and incentives, Stake DAO offered a product that packaged the full stack behind a simple interface and, in doing so, also packaged what could break. According to Blockaid, an attacker minted over 5.4 trillion vsdCRV on Arbitrum through a suspected compromise of a deployer key and began swapping tokens for ETH. The attacker altered LayerZero-related peer configuration to forge a cross-chain message before minting 5,446,744,073,709 vsdCRV, converting a portion into roughly 43.78 ETH, with liquidity constraining realized extraction far below the nominal mint. Stake

Optimism’s OP mainnet has begun a four-week experiment that lets users boost transaction priority by staking at least 100,000 OP, marking the first time its sequencer has deviated from pure gas-fee ordering. According to an official announcement from Optimism, OP…

The post OP Price Prediction: $0.17 Target Within 15 Days as Technical Base Solidifies appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ted Hisokawa May 15, 2026 08:18 Optimism trades in a narrow consolidation zone with neutral momentum suggesting a 65% probability of testing $0.17 resistance before month-end. Technical indicators point to accumulation phase comp… OP’s Technical Reality Check Optimism sits squarely in no-man’s land at $0.14, perfectly positioned at its 20-day moving average with momentum indicators painting a picture of indecision rather than direction. The RSI hovering at 52.80 signals neither oversold bargain hunting nor overbought profit-taking, while the MACD histogram flatlined at zero confirms buyers and sellers are in a Mexican standoff. What’s telling is OP’s position within the Bollinger Bands at 0.55 – sitting comfortably above the midpoint but well below the upper band at $0.17. This technical setup screams consolidation before the next move, and with

Curve founder Michael Egorov has proposed a market-based mechanism to recover DeFi bad debt by turning distressed positions into an investable product. The idea arrives as the Kelp DAO fallout intensifies debate over recovery math, bailout optics and who should absorb losses when failures spread across protocols. DeFi’s latest crisis has reopened an old argument [...]
