Written By:Jahnu Jagtap The crypto market has successfully regained momentum with the top tokens continuing to retest their upper price levels the market capitalization of the crypto industry has increased to $3.03 trillion the Bitcoin price has sustained its value above the $96,000 mark highlighting an increase in the bullish presence suggesting an ongoing Bitcoin season in the crypto space the altcoin market has displayed a positive action with the Ethereum price reclaiming its $1,800 mark While XRP price struggles around the $2.20 mark Solana price continues juggling around the $150 level Are you planning on entering the ocean of crypto we will understand the market analysis and technical sentiment of the top 3 cryptocurrencies by valuation (excluding stablecoins) and their weekly price predictions the price of Bitcoin is back above the $96,000 mark With an intraday trading volume of $23.16 billion With a circulating supply of 19.85 million it has a market capitalization of $1.907 trillion The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) records a constant decline in the green histogram its SMA indicator constantly supports the Bitcoin price chart in the daily time frame This suggests a rising uncertainty for the largest crypto token in the market If the bullish sentiment in the market sustains this could result in the price of Bitcoin smashing its $100,000 mark and heading toward its upper price target of $105,000 a strong bearish pullback may slit the price toward its low of $90,000 during the upcoming week The Ethereum price today continues hovering above the $1,800 mark with an intraday trading volume of $10.336 billion Marketers are raising concerns about the future prospects of this project as it has recorded a variation of less than 2% over the past 30 days The Relative Strength Index (RSI) continues hovering above the neutral point in the Ethereum price chart the average trendline acts as a strong support the EMA 50-day records a major resistance above the ETH price action This highlights an increase in the buying-and-selling pressure for the largest altcoin in the market the Ethereum price could retest its multi-month high of $2,100 this month if the crypto market experiences unexpected liquidity this could pull the ETH token toward its low of $1,500 The XRP price has entered into a consolidated phase over the past week altcoin has displayed a neutral action in the last 7 days this altcoin has added approximately 10% to its valuation in 30 days The Ripple token has a market dominance of 4.27% with a valuation of $128.63 billion While the EMA 50-days displays a bullish convergence the 200-day EMA acts as a strong support around the $2,000 mark the MACD indicator records a neutral trend in the 1D time frame This indicates a mixed price action for the 2nd largest altcoin by market capitalization If the crypto market witnesses an increase in the accumulation of XRP the coin’s price may regain momentum and head toward its important resistance level of $2.50 a negative action could result in it plunging toward its low of $2.00 soon Also Read: XRP Could Hit $2.10 in May, Say 82% of Polymarket Bettors Comment *document.getElementById("comment").setAttribute( "id" "a1847ce5ef43859822ea1b5a5138990b" );document.getElementById("h3fb7f912f").setAttribute( "id" and website in this browser for the next time I comment Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" Stay ahead of the curve with authentic news and exclusive in-sight reports only on The Crypto Times All NewsAI NewsExclusiveExplained About UsEditorial PolicyPress Release Contact UsCareerAdvertise With Us The Motley Fool is a financial services company dedicated to making the world smarter The Motley Fool reaches millions of people every month through our premium investing solutions free guidance and market analysis on Fool.com The stock market is quietly staging a comeback following a rough start to 2025 While still down about 9% year to date as of this writing the innovation-heavy Nasdaq Composite index has rallied by more than 16% from its recent low Let's take a look at three AI stocks that could be poised to make a big bull run Despite solid growth and record profitability, shares of Adobe (ADBE 0.07%) are down about 38% from their 52-week high recognized for its industry-leading creative media software like Photoshop and Premiere Pro is capitalizing on strong demand for innovative AI and machine learning features integrated across its app ecosystem In the company's fiscal 2025 first quarter (for the period ended Feb alongside a 13% increase in adjusted earnings per share (EPS) with management forecasting further increases for 2025 The market seems skeptical as to whether Adobe's early AI success will last, as one reason to explain its stock price weakness. Specialized AI companies like privately held Canva and OpenAI have introduced competing AI-powered text-to-image and video generation features representing emerging competition to Adobe's industry dominance the company's reputation for quality and its loyal customer base attracted to its professional-grade capabilities provide plenty of reasons to be optimistic Notably, the stock's valuation is compelling, trading at just 18 times its consensus 2025 EPS as a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio well below the company's five-year average forward price-to-earnings ratio Adobe appears undervalued and well positioned to rebound if it continues to deliver on its financial targets ADBE PE Ratio (Forward) data by YCharts Shares of Alphabet (GOOG 0.14%) (GOOGL 0.12%) surged following a better-than-expected first-quarter earnings report which propelled a massive 49% increase in adjusted EPS for the period ended March 31 which offers AI infrastructure and generative AI solutions that are gaining market traction at the enterprise level With the stock still down 22% from its 52-week high Alphabet is a buy-the-dip opportunity poised to rally higher SoundHound AI (SOUN -2.08%) is another tech stock that deserves a closer look following a deep stock price sell-off Shares are down approximately 52% year to date as of April 25 an extreme correction that doesn't seem justified considering the company's phenomenal growth momentum The company is capturing strong demand for its voice-AI technology representing a more natural and intuitive method for people to interact with AI-powered applications SoundHound expects revenue to nearly double forecasting a range between $157 million and $177 million The bullish case for the stock is that these trends are just getting started with the company exploring a growing number of use cases including hands-free in-vehicle AI car assistants and voice-enabled ordering for restaurants With the potential to consolidate its position in an estimated $140 billion addressable market SoundHound AI remains well positioned to reward shareholders over the long run Suzanne Frey, an executive at Alphabet, is a member of The Motley Fool’s board of directors.

Connecting decision makers to a dynamic network of information, people and ideas, Bloomberg quickly and accurately delivers business and financial information, news and insight around the world 2025 at 11:11 AM EDTBookmarkSaveTakeaways NEWBullion’s record-breaking run will attract investors back to gold mining stocks leading to “explosive” performance in shares of producers of the precious metal according to Canadian mining industry veteran Rob McEwen Gold has climbed more than 25% this year with some investors put off by production misses and rising costs while others have been lured by higher returns in technology stocks and other sectors Besting the market requires contrarian thinking When stocks are falling and everyone around you is panicking that's when you need to exhibit calm behavior and keep a long-term focus for your portfolio stock prices follow the business fundamentals which is why falling prices create buying opportunities for high-quality businesses I have two stocks in large multi-year drawdowns that I believe are ready for a bull run Enter Airbnb (ABNB -0.20%) and Remitly Global (RELY 0.10%) two disruptive businesses with stock prices trading at dirt cheap prices Here's why the online travel platform and mobile remittance provider are both set up for great returns over the next decade sending money to someone internationally was a pain and legacy cash providers such as Western Union would charge hefty fees to convert currency and send it to someone in another country modern digital connectivity and mobile devices are enabling disruptors to take over the space With Remitly Global's sleek application and broad acceptance immigrants can send money back home seamlessly from their mobile wallets with just a few clicks and much smaller fees than Western Union This better value proposition has enabled Remitly to rapidly gain market share in remittances in the last few years with $15.4 billion in send volume through its mobile application just last quarter but with low fixed costs and strong unit economics Remitly Global will be able to expand profit margins once it stops growing so quickly investors should cheer aggressive spending to expand the platform and capture share in this large market Third-party analysts expect the remittance sector to grow at a 10% clip through 2030 which should help Remitly post strong double-digit growth as it keeps gaining market share If revenue grows on average by 20% a year for the next five years -- a slowdown from current levels -- the top-line figure will eclipse $3.1 billion Today, Remitly trades at a market cap of $4 billion. As long as its unit economics remain strong, Remitly looks like a promising growth stock to buy for the rest of the decade One of the most famous disruptors of the 21st century is Airbnb Its home sharing model has opened up a whole new way of traveling as well as some controversies with local governments the good has outweighed the bad in this regard leading to steady long-term growth of the platform (excluding the COVID-19 pandemic mayhem) Last year, Airbnb's revenue grew 12% year over year to $11.1 billion. It generated $4.5 billion in free cash flow for a strong 40% free cash flow margin This number will generally look attractive for Airbnb given that it collects deposits from travelers upfront before disbursing them to hosts after the vacation ends This means that it will carry more in cash on the balance sheet than it has actually earned in profits This is despite Airbnb spending aggressively to grow its platform It is marketing in foreign geographies that have lagged in market share historically which is helping to accelerate growth in places like East Asia and Latin America management has talked up huge investments it has made to add more products and services to the platform These services cost a lot to build in advance I expect Airbnb's profit margins to keep inching higher in the years to come which will help it grow earnings consistently Lastly, Airbnb management is buying back its stock, which will lead to a shrinking share count and faster growth in earnings per share (EPS) over the long term. Today, the stock trades at a slightly elevated forward price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) of 26.6 Airbnb should be able to grow EPS at a fast rate due to its revenue growth This makes the stock a strong candidate to go on a bull run for the rest of the decade Brett Schafer has positions in Remitly Global. The Motley Fool has positions in and recommends Airbnb. The Motley Fool has a disclosure policy Market data powered by Xignite and Polygon.io Following President Donald Trump's "Liberation Day" tariff announcement stocks plummeted as fears escalated regarding a potential global trade war and how it could impact the global economy While there certainly could be more pressure on stocks in the coming weeks depending on how this all plays out it also has created some solid entry points for several top tech stocks where investors can start to at least dip their toes into the stocks Let's look at three bargain tech stocks investors can consider buying now Being one of the top growth stocks in the past few years has not stopped Nvidia (NVDA -0.64%) from getting thrown into the bargain bin with a lot of other stocks. The stock now trades at a forward price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) of only 23 times based on this year's analyst estimates and a price/earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio near 0.4 Stocks with PEGs below 1 are considered undervalued so Nvidia stock is clearly on the clearance rack However, the company still has a lot of potential growth in front of it. Its graphic processing units (GPUs) are helping drive the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution and there are no signs a trade war will stop that semiconductors are reportedly exempt from the tariffs that have been placed on Taiwan As such, this should not slow down the current pace of the AI infrastructure buildout. Nvidia has predicted that data center capital expenditures (capex) will reach $1 trillion by 2028. This is being led by the three big cloud computing companies they plan to spend $250 billion in AI infrastructure-related capex this year other tech companies are rushing to build better AI models while large enterprises are looking toward a hybrid cloud approach to AI Given its valuation and the opportunities still in front of it Nvidia looks like a solid stock to buy on the dip Perhaps not surprisingly, as the world's largest e-commerce retailer, Amazon's (AMZN -1.95%) shares were punished by the new tariffs announced It sells a lot of goods from third parties that are made in countries like China and these goods are likely to suddenly get more expensive most goods are made in foreign countries like China so the playing field versus competitors has not changed while Amazon has been doing a great job driving earnings growth through its higher-margin sponsored ad business and driving logistic and warehouse efficiencies through AI the company is much more than an e-commerce retailer Amazon's largest segment by profitability is its Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud computing unit The company is investing heavily in data center infrastructure to increase capacity to meet growing demand for its AI services It also has developed its own custom AI chips Trading at a forward P/E of only 28.5 times the stock is at one of the cheapest levels it has been in a decade Another stock that got hit hard by the tariff announcements is Meta Platforms (META 0.34%) The company has been operating well of late which help its advertisers create better campaigns and better target potential customers It is also leading to users spending more time on its apps so the impact of higher prices and a potential global recession could very well hurt its business in the short to medium term it is common for advertisers to pull back their spending the company is one of the go-to digital advertising platforms out there with a proven track record of success for its advertisers it tends to be one of the last places they cut back their spending The company also has a nice longer-term opportunity with its latest social media platform Meta is currently just building out the audience on the platform so it is not contributing to revenue at the moment it should have a strong monetization opportunity Meta now trades at a forward P/E of just above 21 That's a bargain price for one of the leading digital advertising companies in the world that has shown a strong ability to innovate The recent market sell-off has created some nice opportunities in the market for long-term investors, particularly among artificial intelligence (AI) stocks This includes several AI semiconductor stocks besides Nvidia which has also seen its stock come under pressure Let's look at two AI chip stocks that investors can look to buy ahead of the next AI stock bull run Advanced Micro Devices (AMD 1.84%) shares are down nearly 46% over the past year that doesn't mean the company is performing poorly AMD has seen strong AI-related growth over the past year with its data center revenue soaring 94% to $12.6 billion Data center growth decelerated a bit in its most recent reported quarter but still grew a robust 69% year over year While it's the distant No. 2 player in the graphic processing unit (GPU) space, the company is still riding the tide in AI infrastructure spending higher. AMD's chips continue to be used more for inference rather than training which could be a good position to be in for the future There should eventually be a shift toward inference as AI models mature rapid AI inference for things like cybersecurity detection and even personal shopping recommendations Given that its chips are cheaper than those of Nvidia it could eventually take some share in this market Meanwhile, one place where the company currently shines is in the central processing unit (CPU) space While the market for data center CPUs isn't nearly as large as it is for GPUs AMD has become the leader in the space and is gaining share it said among hyperscalers (companies with massive data centers) that it had well above a 50% market share with its CPUs It noted strong CPU gains within personal computers (PCs) as well Management said AMD has a 70% market share on popular platforms such as Amazon Management admits AMD's gaming segment has been weak as there has not been a new gaming console launched in a few years there is speculation a new Xbox could be released in 2027 and a new Playstation in 2028 which should lead to a rebound in this segment in a few years Trading at a forward price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) of 22 times 2025 analyst estimates given its growth and the opportunities still in front of it Broadcom (AVGO -1.43%) is another semiconductor company that has seen its stock take a hit with its shares trading down roughly 32% so far in 2025 it has perhaps one of the biggest opportunities of all chip stocks ahead Broadcom is making a name for itself as the go-to company to help customers design their own custom AI chips called ASICs (application-specific integrated circuits) While there are more initial upfront costs and it takes considerable time to design them custom AI chips perform better at the specific tasks for which they were designed and use less power than off-the-shelf GPUs These chips are not as flexible in their uses as GPUs customers are not designing them for small projects Alphabet was the first company to employ Broadcom in helping it design its custom Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) which are tightly integrated with Google Cloud's TensorFlow its open-source library for machine learning This tight integration has helped improve performance and lower power consumption costs while running Google AI workloads Broadcom has been gaining more new custom AI customers the company has three custom AI chip customers that are further along in their development It believes these three customers represent a $60 billion to $90 billion serviceable market opportunity in its fiscal year 2026 (ending October 2026) alone While some of this opportunity will go to GPUs this is still a huge potential growth driver for the company it has been adding more AI chip customers recently It took about 15 months for Alphabet's chips to be designed and then deployed this should lead to additional growth in a few years Broadcom also participates in the AI infrastructure buildout through its portfolio of networking technology components such as switches and network interface cards (NICs) help manage data flow and network communication this is becoming a more important part of the AI infrastructure puzzle While its more commoditized chip businesses have been a drag the company also owns an attractive software piece with VMware It is driving growth by transitioning customers from perpetual licenses to subscriptions while also upselling them to its full VMware Cloud Foundation stack given the big catalysts in front of the stock TronWeekly May 5, 2025 by The market’s buzzing louder than a beehive in July With Bitcoin edging back to the high $60ks and meme coins dragging in massive attention eyes are shifting toward altcoins—those under-the-radar gems that typically blow up when the big dogs get tired While older systems got tangled in centralization Let’s break down the best altcoins to buy for next bull run before this rocket takes off Qubetics isn’t just trying to fix the internet—it’s trying to build a better one With Web3 utilities picking up in Central Asia folks from Uzbekistan to Belarus are itching for smoother $TICS is more than just a token—it powers an all-in-one non-custodial ecosystem built for real use Over 510 million tokens sold to more than 25,600+ holders Not kidding—analysts say it could hit $1 soon after presale for a 334% return Qubetics just unveiled a slick upgrade to its QubeQode IDE—a development environment tailor-made for Web3 pros and solo builders It’s also pushing out seamless connections between different blockchains through its cross-chain wallet This upgrade now supports near-instant token swaps between EVM and non-EVM chains At a time when others are still yapping about cross-chain dreams Numbers are popping too—Telegram’s blowing up These aren’t vanity metrics;

It’s one of the best altcoins to buy for next bull run, and the current crypto presale pricing is a rare shot before the public chaos hits You ever try to find an old tweet that got deleted Arweave doesn’t like losing stuff—and that’s why it’s got a cult following This project is all about permanent data storage Think of it like the blockchain’s version of an unburnable library that’s becoming a bigger deal than folks thought especially in parts of Eastern Europe and Central Asia people are waking up to the idea of immutable storage Arweave launched a new permaweb gateway that makes it 10x easier to publish apps and content integrations with Solana and Avalanche now allow other chains to store key data on Arweave This helps projects that need low-cost long-term storage without hosting it all themselves Add that to their recent collab with Graph Protocol—suddenly Arweave’s not just some geeky project It’s been holding solid around the $30 mark with analysts eyeing $50–$75 if storage demand kicks into high gear during the bull wave What do you get when three of the smartest AI blockchain projects team up The Artificial Super Intelligence Alliance (ASIA) merges Fetch.ai (FET) and Ocean Protocol (OCEAN) into a single beast It’s like forming a supergroup with Eminem AI is already ruling headlines—but when you add decentralized data marketplaces and autonomous agents to the mix they’ve announced the token merger under a single asset called ASI (Artificial Super Intelligence) This means all three ecosystems will be powered by one unified token Partnerships with Nvidia and Microsoft are floating around and there’s real progress with deploying AI bots for logistics Ocean’s also expanding into cross-chain data monetization while AGIX focuses on AI ethics and voice AI models FET’s bots are already working on decentralized energy grids These tokens have already 2x’d in the past 60 days and some charts are drawing comparisons to early ETH rallies these three projects aren’t just hot picks—they’re lighting fires Qubetics is transforming usability with cross-chain tools and real regional impact And the Artificial Super Intelligence Alliance is chasing a future where AI meets decentralization head-on and you might be chasing price pumps later Ready to snag the best altcoins to buy for next bull run Start digging now—because they won’t stay underground for long What makes Qubetics different from other altcoins Qubetics isn’t just a token—it powers a real ecosystem built for cross-chain wallets Why is Qubetics getting so much hype during the presale folks are scrambling to grab $TICS at a discount before the mainnet launch What is the Artificial Super Intelligence Alliance and Ocean Protocol—three AI projects forming a unified token and mission Because it’s solving real-world data problems by offering permanent censorship-resistant storage that more apps are starting to adopt Filed Under: News, Press Release BREAKING: Berkshire Shares Slide On News Of Buffett Exit Dow Jones futures fell solidly Monday morning along with S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq futures Warren Buffett said Saturday that he will step down as Berkshire Hathaway (BRKB) CEO at year-end TG Therapeutics (TGTX) sold off on mixed results early Monday while Palantir… Trade war perils are swirling around ocean shippers and the ports that serve them Get instant access to exclusive stock lists expert market analysis and powerful tools with 2 months of IBD Digital for only $20 Learn how you can make more money with IBD's investing tools Real-time quote and/or trade prices are not sourced from all markets Ownership data provided by LSEG and Estimate data provided by FactSet MarketSurge and other marks are trademarks owned by Investor's Business Daily We are thrilled that the Cinco de Mayo Bull Run Festival at Old Tucson has been canceled The event is based on the highly controversial annual Running of the Bulls in Pamplona It is traumatizing to the animals who are exploited for entertainment and profit and dangerous for the human participants.  The Bull Run Festival held six previous events in Arizona and Nevada over the last three decades but this would have been its first in the Tucson area and 12 bulls would have been goaded to chase participants through a quarter-mile 15-foot wide run 11 times over the weekend with “thrill seekers” suffering bruising and other injuries There is footage of participants stumbling and covering their heads The unwilling animal “participants” are subjected to fear In a March 18, 2025, memo, the county administrator for Pima County said that the contracted vendor failed to provide proof of the required insurance as required by the county. The manager of Old Tucson Studios also confirmed that the event organizers had been unable to provide the required insurance.  While the lack of required insurance is the stated reason for the cancellation we strongly believe that pressure from our supporters calling and sending messages made a difference Over 10,000 In Defense of Animals supporters signed our alert calling on Old Tucson Studios and American Heritage Railways to cancel this event.  We waited to share the news on our website with our supporters because there was a small outside chance that the event would be rescheduled if the promoter could  provide the required proof of insurance, but that hasn’t happened, so it will remain canceled Tormenting animals for entertainment is cruel while encouraging others to do so for profit is unacceptable We are grateful that Pima County is protecting animals and the public both of whom would undoubtedly have been harmed by this event.  Failure to provide proof of the required insurance halted the Bull Run Festival after thousands of advocates contacted Old Tucson Studios and its owner we are celebrating the fact that it has been canceled and that animals will not be exploited in this archaic and dangerous event Animals do not exist for human entertainment Learn more about animals used for entertainment and how you can help © 2025 In defense of animals FIGHTING FOR ANIMALS we use technical cookies and other similar tracking tools By clicking 'Accept,' you consent to the use of all cookies By clicking 'Close/Dismiss,' only strictly necessary technical cookies Don't invest unless you're prepared to lose all the money you invest.

Take 2min to learn more about risks Small coins sometimes make the biggest moves We’ve picked out ten low-cap cryptocurrencies that could be worth keeping an eye on Investors looking for higher potential returns often turn to low market cap crypto coins Many small-cap cryptocurrencies have previously shown significant performance when the market turns bullish This article highlights ten low-cap altcoins that could attract increased attention during the next bull run A low-cap crypto coin is a cryptocurrency with a relatively small market capitalization compared to more established assets like Bitcoin or Ethereum Market capitalization (market cap) is the total value of a cryptocurrency calculated by multiplying its current price by the total number of coins in circulation There is no strict cutoff for what defines a low-cap coin but typically it refers to cryptocurrencies with a market capitalization below $100 million Some investors also include coins under $300 million Low-cap altcoins often attract investors because they can offer higher potential returns compared to larger Their smaller market capitalization means that even modest increases in demand can lead to significant price movements Many small-cap projects operate in emerging areas of blockchain technology They can be built on innovative technologies or introduce unique use cases Early investment in such projects can sometimes lead to substantial gains if the project grows and achieves broader adoption Investing in small-cap cryptocurrencies involves higher risks compared to larger making it harder to buy or sell large amounts without affecting the price Project teams behind low-cap coins are usually smaller and less funded which can limit their ability to deliver on development goals or adapt to changing market conditions Many low-cap projects also lack strong community support Price volatility is typically more extreme with larger percentage swings occurring in short periods low-cap assets are more susceptible to market manipulation Investors should also consider the risk of abandonment, where development teams cease activity without notice. Thorough research, diversification and proper risk management are extremely important when considering any investment in this asset category So what are the best low-cap altcoins to invest in especially in the case of the crypto market and low-cap altcoins are even less predictable thorough research and analysis allow certain assumptions to be made Celer Network is a Layer-2 scaling and interoperability protocol that enhances blockchain performance by enabling fast, low-cost transactions and cross-chain communication. It uses a combination of technologies to support interoperability across chains like Ethereum, BNB Chain has experienced significant growth in cross-chain funds since its launch with exponential increases in liquidity and active usage Coupled with the Inter-chain Messaging Framework that enables seamless dApp development across 40+ chains Celer offers both developers and users a robust What makes Celer potentially promising is its focus on cross-chain infrastructure which remains a key technical challenge in blockchain adoption The project is also active in releasing updates and expanding integration with other ecosystems which can help maintain relevance as the broader market evolves such as its role in PancakeSwap's new cross-chain Bridge launched on April 21 underscore growing reliance on Celer for fast DIMO is a decentralized platform that allows drivers to collect and share vehicle data in exchange for crypto rewards Users connect their cars through hardware devices or software integrations enabling data collection on metrics like mileage The DIMO token is used to reward users and power the ecosystem's governance and services DIMO addresses the growing value of connected vehicle data which is typically controlled by manufacturers and third parties By giving users direct ownership and the ability to monetize this data DIMO introduces an alternative data-sharing model aligned with privacy and transparency and partnerships with developers building on its open data infrastructure Its focus on real-world utility sets it apart from many purely financial or speculative crypto projects Hivemapper is a decentralized mapping network that rewards contributors with crypto for collecting street-level imagery using dashcams The goal is to build a global map infrastructure through crowdsourced data rather than relying on centralized providers The HONEY token is used to compensate contributors and support the network's operations It is also required to access Hivemapper's map data establishing a direct link between contributor incentives and network utility Hivemapper applies blockchain-based incentives to a real-world use case with growing demand: up-to-date geospatial data Its model lowers costs and increases coverage compared to traditional mapping services by turning drivers into active participants in data collection and regularly publishes updates on data progress making it one of the few blockchain-based mapping efforts with real-world traction This utility-driven model may appeal to users and businesses looking for alternatives to centralized mapping services Joystream is a decentralized video platform designed to give creators full control over their content allowing any video uploaded on one app to be accessible across the network Joystream aims to offer an open alternative to traditional platforms by allowing users to own and govern the infrastructure through a DAO model Joystream stands out for targeting a clear and existing problem: centralized control in digital content platforms Its open-source model allows anyone to contribute to platform development and its governance system gives token holders direct influence over platform rules and upgrades Joystream's structure may appeal to both creators and users seeking alternatives and DAO activity suggest the project is actively progressing rather than remaining in a planning phase LUKSO is a Layer-1 blockchain designed to support digital identity it introduces features like Universal Profiles – on-chain accounts with programmable permissions and metadata The LYX token is used for transaction fees and staking within the network LUKSO targets use cases related to fashion and creator-focused applications – areas where traditional blockchain tools often fall short in usability and identity management Its technical approach includes account abstraction and modular smart contract design which may improve user experience and developer flexibility and its design choices are aligned with emerging demands for identity and asset portability in consumer-facing platforms Mintlayer is a Bitcoin sidechain designed to enable smart contracts and DeFi functionality while maintaining a close connection to the Bitcoin ecosystem It uses a UTXO-based model and leverages Bitcoin's security principles while introducing features such as atomic swaps and native token issuance Mintlayer appeals to users and developers looking to build on Bitcoin without compromising scalability or flexibility Its approach combines Bitcoin's strong base-layer security with tools that are common in smart contract platforms By focusing on interoperability with Bitcoin rather than competing chains Mintlayer targets a niche where few alternatives currently operate The project has launched its mainnet and continues to build out its ecosystem positioning itself for growth if demand for Bitcoin-native applications increases Nolus is a DeFi protocol focused on improving capital efficiency in crypto lending It introduces a lease-based model that allows users to access up to 150% financing for crypto assets reducing the need for overcollateralization common in traditional DeFi platforms instead of full liquidation upon asset price drops Interest rates that are locked at the time of contract creation provide additional predictability and stability for borrowers The protocol is built using the Cosmos SDK and relies on the NLS token for transaction fees and incentivizing participation within the ecosystem What makes Nolus potentially promising is its effort to solve a well-known limitation in decentralized lending: capital inefficiency By allowing users to borrow with lower collateral requirements Nolus aims to expand access to leveraged positions without relying on centralized services Its integration with the Cosmos ecosystem may also help increase interoperability and long-term adaptability and continues to add features that support lending and borrowing showing forward movement in product development Phala Network is a decentralized cloud computing protocol that provides confidential computing services for dApps It uses a network of secure enclaves – trusted execution environments (TEEs) – to process sensitive data off-chain while preserving user privacy and paying for computational services on the network Phala addresses a critical gap in Web3 infrastructure: the need for scalable, privacy-preserving data processing. Its architecture allows developers to build dApps that handle confidential information without exposing it to the public blockchain.

However, Lam's results and outlook indicate that it is doing well despite those challenges, thanks to the robust demand for its chipmaking equipment sparked by catalysts such as artificial intelligence (AI) Let's take a closer look at the factors driving Lam's growth and examine why this semiconductor stock is worth buying hand over fist right now Lam Research reported 24% year-over-year growth in revenue for the previous quarter while its non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) net income grew at a faster pace of 30% Lam management attributed the impressive growth to the robust demand for leading-edge foundry equipment which is used in manufacturing advanced chips deployed in AI servers as well as smartphones and personal computers (PCs) the strong demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) is turning out to be another tailwind for Lam's manufacturing equipment as memory equipment accounts for 43% of Lam's total revenue and memory manufacturers have been ramping up the output of HBM to meet demand from chipmakers such as Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices For instance, memory specialist Micron Technology expects the HBM industry to generate $35 billion in revenue this year That's higher than the $30 billion estimate Micron issued in December last year This upward revision in the HBM market's growth can be attributed to the growing size of this memory type in the latest AI graphics cards from AMD and Nvidia Nvidia's latest-generation Blackwell GPUs (graphics processing units) are packing 4 times the memory as compared to the previous generation Hopper processors AMD has increased the HBM capacity on its MI325X AI GPU by 96 gigabytes (GB) over its previous MI300X chip it is easy to see why memory manufacturers such as Micron and Samsung are investing more money in HBM capacity With the HBM market expected to exceed $100 billion in annual revenue by 2030 Lam Research should ideally witness solid demand for its memory manufacturing equipment over the long run Another thing worth noting is that Lam Research expects to grow at a faster pace than the overall wafer and fabrication equipment (WFE) market Management believes that the growing complexity of chips combined with the company's strong product portfolio places it in a nice position to gain a bigger share of the WFE market Lam management says it has "not seen any meaningful changes to our customers' plans" amid the tariff-fueled trade war All this explains why the company's guidance for the current quarter is well ahead of expectations Lam management said it expects revenue in the current quarter to land at $5 billion at the midpoint of its guidance range That's significantly higher than the $4.6 billion consensus estimate Lam's guidance points toward a potential year-over-year increase of 29% in its top line an acceleration over the growth it recorded in the previous quarter are expected to increase at a faster pace of 48% thanks to an expansion in margins Lam management believes the company could achieve revenue of $25 billion to $28 billion by 2028 which would be a big jump compared to the $16 billion it generated in 2024 Throw in the company's improving margin profile and it won't be surprising to see Lam maintaining healthy levels of earnings growth in the future That's why it would be a good idea for investors to buy this semiconductor stock as it is currently trading at less than 20 times trailing earnings a discount to the tech-laden Nasdaq-100 index's trailing earnings multiple of 27 points toward 26% gains from current levels But don't be surprised to see it do better than that which could encourage the market to reward it with a premium valuation Harsh Chauhan has no position in any of the stocks mentioned.

The Motley Fool has a disclosure policy 2025 at 5:26 pm PDTThe city of Portland sued a Manhattan law firm in New York state court last week alleging $6.7 million in city funds ended up in a bank account the law firm controlled after someone posing as a city vendor routed the money to the firm’s account City spokeswoman Carrie Belding says the city plans to drop the lawsuit imminently cooperated with the FBI’s investigation and “provided information supporting that they were also a victim.” The $6.7 million stolen from the city’s Bull Run Filtration Project is in the hands of the feds and will be returned to the city the FBI and local law enforcement are conducting a criminal investigation into how the money landed in the firm’s bank account—and who made it happen The city’s lawsuit offers some information about how the millions may have landed there tracked the stolen money to an “attorney trust account” at Chase owned by the Raiti law firm Raiti did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment The lawsuit alleges the perpetrator posed as an actual employee of one of the city’s biggest general contractors on the Bull Run project The city said in its lawsuit it does not believe the MWH-Kiewit employee committed the theft but instead believes the perpetrator fraudulently posed as the employee identified himself as a proposal manager by the name of someone who does work at MWH-Kiewit; that person is listed as the point of contact for an active MWH-Kiewit contract listed in the city’s vendor database.) “We are presently unaware of the relationship between [the perpetrator] and the Raiti firm,” the city added in its filing “but are compelled to seek emergency relief now to ensure that the money is not secreted out of the trust account pending the outcome of this action.” The city did not catch the errant payment until Wells Fargo the bank from which the city’s money was sent to the bank account alerted the city’s Treasury of potential fraud “The city is taking this matter seriously,” Belding says “and is making every effort to ensure the return of public funds and that those responsible are held accountable.” Willamette Week’s reporting has concrete impacts that change laws, force action from civic leaders, and drive compromised politicians from public office.

Because if that's pretty much where the champion juvenile finds himself heading into the GI Kentucky Derby off a disappointing run at Santa Anita Robert Low bred Citizen Bull (Into Mischief) with his wife Lawana from their mare No Joke (Distorted Humor) who had cost them $750,000 as a yearling at the 2017 Keeneland September Sale–just days after her half-sister Moonshine Memories (Malibu Moon) had won the GI Debutante Stakes “Just one of these hard-luck fillies,” Low explains even as we were trying to take it easy and let her work through those things so at some point we decided to turn her into a broodmare And that has obviously turned out a good decision.” But this was hardly the first time Low had discovered how a hard road will often lead to the summit He was still a University of Missouri student when buying himself a dump truck in 1970 it was downpayment on a dump truck,” he clarifies and not that profitable because it kept breaking down.” But still–what kind of 19-year-old does that when his buddies are boozing and chasing girls “Some of my fraternity brothers and classmates did say I was crazy,” Low admits “But I was a pretty enterprising youth and I'm sure my parents had helped spot me a couple cows I had a few dollars stored away that I could invest Except then he remembered what everyone in the meatpacking trade had always told his father a market news reporter: the guys who made the real money were the truckers Citizen Bull works at Churchill | Coady Media “I would find out that it wasn't necessarily true,” Low recalls the talk at the kitchen table about over-the-road trucks a sapling rocketing too tall for its roots we were essentially doubling the size of the company: one truck but in trucking you have assets that are expensive you create a lot of debt–and your debt-to-equity really hasn't had a chance to catch up.” he ran into a historic spike in interest rates: 20 percent and more plus he was borrowing at two to four points above the prime rate he learned to live scrupulously according to his means: not a cent spent that hadn't been earned He would come to work every morning terrified of a call from the bank Low's mother insisted that she should help “And actually that became a tremendous motivation,” Low says “Because she was just a regular working person that had gotten her home free and clear And I think that really turned the situation around you can't leave your mother hanging out there with nothing looking back as CEO of Prime Inc.–with a fleet of 6,500 trucks and revenues approaching $3 billion–Low recognizes that the furnace must first be endured before steel can cool and harden “I was a prideful country boy,” he says But I learned so many lessons about business got the company reorganized–a different business model a different attitude–and really never looked back.” It was also to his parents that Low owed his passion for horses first through the hogs-and-cattle environment in which he was raised and then produced a life-changing opportunity to flirt with a girl in the fifth grade “Though Lawana's memory is different from mine,” Low says with a chuckle “I'm quite sure that she didn't invite me to put her on the horse horses have remained a bond in a marriage now extending beyond half a century “She works on the matings and likes handicapping though she doesn't seem to give me many of her winners from early in our marriage we would go to Hot Springs together I just have so many good memories down there and it's become very dear to our hearts.” So when the business began thriving more sustainably the Lows could have no more fulfilling reward than to start a stable One of their earliest investments was Capote Belle and they have twice since followed the Derby trail all the way to the first Saturday in May both Steppenwolfer (2006) and Magnum Moon (2018) took the Oaklawn route albeit there was quite a contrast in their fortunes at Churchill only placed in the Rebel and the Arkansas Derby “Steppenwolfer was a great ride,” Low recalls Actually his brother worked for us in our shop here at Prime one of those experiences that really reinforce your enthusiasm going into the Derby as leading points scorer: to have won those races at our home track But I think it remains the rainiest Derby on record and he lost all chance getting bumped around out of the 16 hole.” Magnum Moon would never get a shot at redemption That summer he was struck by laminitis and despite showing prodigious courage and patience over the following months Built cruises along on the tab at Churchill | Coady Media “We loved that horse so much,” Low says “Probably even beyond his talent as a racehorse but all the way through he was totally classy “The game obviously has its highs and lows so you need to cherish those highs and learn to cope with the lows If it's going to be destructive to your life Because all it takes is a stroke of very bad luck Returning to the Derby this time obviously feels different rooting for a horse in someone else's silks But the Lows retain plenty of skin in the game between breeder's prizes and Citizen Bull's family “We have the mare and the half-sister who just foaled a beautiful colt by our stallion Colonel Liam,” Low notes “No Joke has a fantastic Mandaloun yearling colt and a spectacular Life is Good weanling colt–but I think she may be going back to Into Mischief from now on!” There were Derby dreams for Colonel Liam when bought as a juvenile for $1.2 million but he only paid off that investment once switched to turf Now building a new career under the skilled supervision of Ocala Stud his unexpected flowering reminds us that horses facing tricky strategic calls to maintain a viable program The dam of GII Pat Day Mile contender Built (Hard Spun) was sold when he was a weanling for just $40,000 at the Keeneland November Sale Both No Joke's previous foals having been retained Citizen Bull was allowed to go for $675,000 after catching the expert eye of Donato Lanni for a partnership headed by SF/Starlight/Madaket “Hindsight's always 20/20,” Low says “Sometimes you'll make the wrong call You hate to give up those beautiful Curlin mares but before Built we felt like she hadn't produced for us Nobody likes just losing money year after year so you need to manage things somewhat in the hope of ending up with a good We really appreciate and respect the Taylor Made operation–Mark Taylor and Jeff Hayslett are very helpful–along with our farm manager Denny Wilson we still have very good reasons to be cheering for Citizen Bull.” loads residual value into well-bred acquisitions like No Joke That spurred the Lows into an extra bid or two in stretching for a $1.9 million Curlin filly out of Matera (Tapit) stakes-winning half-sister to Not This Time and Colonel Liam's sire Liam's Map that gives us a little backstop,” Low acknowledges Pletcher in Ocala and it looks like she'll be going on to Todd pretty early The Lows lead Colonel Liam into the winner's circle after the Pegasus Turf | Coglianese clinching satisfaction for their whole program: the fact that the Lows have their mares and foals at Primatara Farm right on the doorstep of the palatial home they built near Springfield and really it's why we have the farm,” Low says “And we take a great deal of pride that a champion 2-year-old was raised outside of Kentucky and Holly Hurshman and the rest of the crew It's so gratifying to watch these horses growing up a big part of the enjoyment that we get out of the sport.” No doubt as many people told Low he was crazy trying to raise champion Thoroughbreds in Missouri as they did when he bought that truck as a teenager “They talk about the limestone and water in Kentucky,” Low says if you can surround yourself with good people that's going to make the difference.” Not a subscriber?

during the last big price surge As excitement starts building again in May 2025 for what could be the next crypto bull run many investors are asking: what is the best meme coin to buy now Finding that next viral hit before it takes off is the dream But with thousands of meme coins out there We’ll feature the most promising newcomer, Dawgz AI ($DAGZ) which cleverly mixes AI utility with meme fun alongside five other popular and viral meme coins currently making waves Let’s explore the options as we look for potential winners before the next big market move let’s quickly get clear on what meme coins usually are Unlike serious crypto projects focused on technology like Bitcoin or Ethereum most meme coins get their value from different sources: Many new meme coin projects turn out to be scams or just fail completely the small chance of hitting it big keeps people interested The good news is that some newer meme coins are trying to be different by adding real usefulness to the fun which blends AI with meme culture and has been reviewed by many popular youtube crypto analysts plus five other currently popular and viral meme coins worth considering Dawgz AI ($DAGZ) takes the number one spot on our watchlist because it represents what could be the next evolution in the meme coin space It’s not just relying on a cute dog picture it’s combining that viral meme energy with serious Artificial Intelligence technology to offer real benefits to its holders By blending AI utility with proven meme coin marketing tactics Dawgz AI has created a unique and most promising project It represents the kind of potential many investors are searching for Brett (BRETT) has become a major meme coin star especially on the Base blockchain.BRETT operates mostly on community hype and its status as a cultural icon for the fast-growing Base ecosystem Key features include a fixed supply of 10 billion tokens a renounced contract ,meaning creators can‘t easily change the rules and locked liquidity which helps prevent sudden price dumps Its value is heavily tied to online trends and the overall success of the Base network You can‘t talk about meme coins without mentioning Pepe (PEPE) Based on the hugely famous internet meme “Pepe the Frog,” this coin exploded onto the scene in 2023 showing that meme magic wasn’t just limited to dog coins Pepe achieved astonishing gains incredibly quickly fueled by meme culture and speculative excitement Pepe features include a massive total supply a mechanism where a small percentage of each transaction is burned and a redistribution system that rewards holders It famously launched with no presale and zero transaction taxes aiming to be a “coin for the people.” While it lacks a formal roadmap or specific utility beyond being a cultural phenomenon Pepe has maintained a large and active community and significant trading volume Its success proves the raw power of a strong meme and dedicated following Dogwifhat (WIF) burst onto the scene as a top meme coin on the Solana blockchain Its concept is incredibly simple: it’s based on a popular internet picture of a Shiba Inu dog wearing a pink knitted hat WIF perfectly captures the often absurd and purely fun nature of the meme coin world WIF quickly gained a massive following and saw its price skyrocket becoming one of the most talked-about coins of early 2025 It has a fixed supply of around 998.9 million tokens and operates with no specific utility or burning mechanisms mentioned in common descriptions Its value comes entirely from community hype Bonk (BONK) was the first major dog-themed meme coin launched on the Solana blockchain It gained initial fame through a massive airdrop to the Solana community This strategy immediately created a large holder base and strong community ties within the Solana ecosystem Bonk has made efforts to build utility within its ecosystem This includes integrations with various Solana DeFi and gaming projects and its own BonkSwap DEX It also features a token burning mechanism to gradually reduce supply Governed by a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) the community has some say in the project’s direction Bonk represents a community-focused meme coin with growing utility within a specific blockchain ecosystem making it different from purely hype-driven tokens Floki Inu (FLOKI) is another popular dog-themed meme coin initially inspired by Elon Musk naming his Shiba Inu puppy “Floki.” Launched in 2021 billing itself as “The People’s Cryptocurrency.” The project is actively building a wider ecosystem to provide utility for the $FLOKI token an NFT-based Metaverse game currently in development a suite of DeFi products including a locker for securing digital assets This focus on building real products and utility sets it apart from many other meme coins Floki’s efforts to build a functional ecosystem make it an interesting one to watch for potential long–term growth beyond just meme hype even potentially promising ones like Dawgz AI requires a special approach because they are so different and risky The search for the best meme coin to buy before the next crypto bull run is full of excitement and huge potential rewards While established memes like Pepe and WIF continue to draw attention alongside the originals like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu and ecosystem plays like Bonk and Floki build their niches and investing only what you can afford to lose are absolutely essential in this wild corner of the crypto market The best meme coin to buy often has a very strong and active online community some kind of real usefulness or unique feature Projects like the most promisingDawgz AI are getting attention because they mix meme fun with planned AI utility meme coins are generally considered very high-risk investments because their prices depend heavily on social media hype and sentiment While Dawgz AI tries to add safety with an audit and real utility investing in any meme coin means you could potentially lose all your money give the projects a real purpose beyond just being a funny meme This potential utility can attract more serious investors and help the project potentially last longer than meme coins that rely only on temporary online buzz making coins like Dawgz AI one of the most promising in the space but coins that combine viral meme appeal with strong communities and real utility like the most promising Dawgz AI with its AI focus are often seen as having the best potential for significant growth especially if they get listed on major exchanges

While Treasury Secretary Besson expressed a lack of concern Innecco suggested this situation could further incentivize other nations to seek alternative trading mechanisms "It's gonna make the rest of the world even more determined to try to uh hedge itself and try to have another u let's say avenue to trade underscoring the de-dollarization trend.Innecco also cast doubt on the recent rebound in the stock market echoing the sentiment of market analyst Michael Oliver "I think the momentum structure as per Michael Oliver...we're nowhere close to uh getting back to uh positive momentum in the stock market So I would just uh batten down the hatches hold on to your gold and silver," he advised He characterized the recent market uptick as a "dead cat bounce," a temporary recovery within a larger downward trend fueled by short-covering and not necessarily a sign of fundamental strength.The interview also delved into the actions of central banks Innecco questioned the rationale behind potential interest rate cuts suggesting they could further weaken the dollar and potentially reignite inflation it will weaken the dollar further," he noted He also pointed out the unusual phenomenon of long-term rates rising even after short-term rate cuts indicating a potential disconnect in the Fed's strategy.Innecco touched upon the evolving geopolitical landscape noting the burgeoning relationship between China and the European Union He speculated that this could be a significant development with far-reaching implications for global trade and power dynamics that's not in the interest of the neocons in the US," Innecco posited suggesting a potential shift in the global order.Despite a recent minor correction in the gold price emphasizing the long-term fundamentals supporting the metal He referenced historical patterns and technical analysis suggesting that gold still has significant upside potential "All I would tell people is that hold on to the bull And I think that's how I see the gold market," Innecco passionately stated.He also addressed the gold-to-silver ratio suggesting that while gold is leading the charge bull markets in gold are usually followed by silver but this time around it looks like gold is going on its own But I still expect silver to catch up with gold," Innecco predicted AdvertisementMario Innecco's comprehensive analysis of CapitalCosm paints a compelling picture for gold investors coupled with his technical insights into the precious metals market leads him to believe that the current environment presents a "massive signal" for potentially substantial gold price appreciation Investors would be wise to heed his cautious approach to traditional markets and consider the significant role gold may play in safeguarding and growing wealth in the face of global economic and geopolitical uncertainty.Watch the full interview: Builder Breakfast – Town Hall: Building a Better Business Model for Housing Portland targeted in Bull Run project fraud a CAT truck driver dumped a load of rocks at the Bull Run Filtration Plant project site The Portland Water Bureau halted work at the site in February An alteration permit is under review for the Rodeway Inn & Suites at Jantzen Beach Mariposa Village will be a 130-unit affordable housing community with a building to serve seniors The city of Seattle has awarded a $5.5 million contract for improvements at a theater on Mercer Street Construction is under way on an approximately $87 million building intended to boost liquor distribution effic[...] The elimination of more than $3.6 billion of funding may spell disaster for numerous communities and their inf[...] Two alteration permits were issued for upgrades on floors 9 and 10 of a Brewery Blocks building in the Pearl D[...] Sign up for your daily digest of DJC Oregon Daily News BRIC is proud to announce Octavio Gutiérrez’s promotion to associate principal BRIC is proud to announce Ed Herrera’s promotion to associate principal Sundt Construction welcomes the addition of Devanta Black as project manager for its growing Northwe[...] Hacker has promoted John Dalit to associate He is a registered architect and a member of NOMA with [...] Hacker has promoted Sophia Tan to associate She contributes to diverse projects spanning civic Jason Murakami has been promoted to preconstruction manager at R&H Construction Sara Stone is now vice president/project manager of Pioneer Waterproofing Company Christine Schlicker has been named chief operating officer of Deacon Construction Daily Journal of Commerce provides 24/7 legal news coverage and events honoring top legal professionals Get our free DJC Oregon Daily News & breaking news notifications Subscribe for access to the latest digital and special editions The next crypto bull run might not start with Bitcoin it could quietly kick off in a presale most people scroll past early-stage projects are gaining traction before they hit the charts One example? Dawgz AI a presale that’s starting to catch attention in private Discords and crypto Telegrams If you’ve been waiting for a sign to explore beyond the usual suspects the real upside often comes from the corners no one’s watching It might be presale-stage projects quietly building traction while the market’s focused on the usual top 10 What we’re seeing now is a shift: Bitcoin might light the spark but the biggest returns could come from early-stage tokens that haven’t hit exchanges yet These are the ones insiders are already circling others are genuinely building for the long haul Every cycle has that one project you wish you had found earlier. Dawgz AI might be it Priced under a penny and raising millions quietly, it’s the kind of project that influencers mention casually before it goes viral. It blends meme energy with real AI-powered trading tools and it’s already got staking live in presale Here’s what’s making early investors pay attention to Dawgz AI before the mainstream does: If you want to dig deeper into $DAGZ, you can check the video below from Crypto Chino, where he explains why Dawgz AI could be one of the top coins leading the next bull run Crypto is maturing and so are its investors Big returns no longer come from chasing coins after listings They come from getting in before the story gets written presale-stage tokens offer a better risk/reward setup You’re entering before the marketing budget kicks in It’s not about guessing – it’s about timing and right now with market sentiment shifting that early positioning could matter more than ever If you’re waiting for the next crypto bull run to show up in the headlines Dawgz AI is one of those names floating quietly through early channels and it’s exactly the kind of project that tends to run hard once the market wakes up Dawgz AI is being mentioned in early-stage circles as one of the few low-cap tokens with 1000x potential and strong tokenomics is what past 1000x plays have had in common Dawgz AI is one of the presale tokens gaining quiet traction ahead of the next crypto bull run Early positioning in solid presales has historically outperformed post-launch entries especially when the project is building during a quiet market Dawgz AI is just one of many early-stage tokens picking up momentum a sign that sentiment is shifting and investors are starting to place 2025 bets With BTC halving behind us and capital rotating into altcoins many believe a new bull cycle is already forming especially as it continues to raise millions in presale and draw attention from private groups and influencer chats Tokens like this still flying under the radar often move first when a new cycle begins traders should focus on maximizing opportunities during the ongoing crypto bull run highlighting the potential for significant regret if investment opportunities are missed in 2025 (source: twitter.com/AltcoinGordon/status/1918700301424452008) The post underscores the importance of timely market entries and portfolio optimization emphasizing that current price momentum presents rare chances for gains Traders are advised to closely monitor altcoin trends and leverage high-liquidity assets to benefit from short-term volatility and long-term growth From $0 to Crypto multi millionaire in 3 years There’s a lot of excitement in the crypto world in May 2025 many people who follow the market think things might be gearing up for the next big crypto bull run investors start looking closely to find the best crypto to buy now Picking the right coins early could lead to big profits later on Think of it like seasons: sometimes prices go way up Knowing these cycles helps make better decisions: Knowing where we might be in the cycle and what could push prices up helps in choosing what is the best crypto to buy now Building a watchlist helps you keep track of projects that seem strong based on their technology Here are some cryptocurrencies to consider watching closely as potential candidates for the next crypto to explode: Dawgz AI ($DAGZ) often tops the list when people talk about the most promising new coins for the next crypto bull run It’s exciting because it mixes two huge trends: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Meme Coins This makes it different from simple meme coins or purely technical projects Onyxcoin (XCN) is the token for the Onyx Protocol Onyx Protocol is all about making lending and borrowing crypto easier and more efficient between users It aims to offer things like ongoing lines of credit if you put up enough collateral (other crypto) As DeFi looks for better ways to handle lending platforms like Onyx could become more popular making XCN an interesting altcoin project to watch Algorand (ALGO) is a well-known blockchain (Layer 1) created by an MIT professor. Its main selling points are speed, low transaction fees, and being environmentally friendly (carbon-negative) thanks to its unique “Pure Proof-of-Stake” (PPoS) system for agreeing on transactions Algorand’s strong technology and green credentials keep its token on the watchlist for investors who value efficiency and sustainability hoping it might regain momentum in the next bull run There’s a lot of excitement building for the next crypto bull run in May 2025 While it’s impossible to know exactly when it will take off or how high prices will go getting prepared by watching promising projects is the smart move Projects like Onyxcoin and Algorand offer interesting technology in lending and blockchain speed. However, projects that cleverly combine multiple strong trends, like Dawgz AI ($DAGZ) mixing AI utility with meme coin energy often represent the most promising opportunities for the next cycle Look for several positive signs happening together: prices consistently rising and breaking old resistance levels (Bitcoin usually first) big investors putting more money in (like through ETFs) Seeing promising projects like Dawgz AI gain traction early can also be a positive signal Many experts believe projects related to Artificial Intelligence (AI) Real-World Assets (RWAs) on the blockchain Projects like the most promising Dawgz AI are interesting because they combine AI with the viral potential of meme coins investing just based on hope is risky because a bull run might not happen right away It’s important to only invest money you can afford to lose and to choose projects you believe in for the long term like Dawgz AI which offers planned utility and has passed a security audit making it less dependent on just short-term market moves AI is seen as a game-changing technology overall and mixing it with blockchain creates many exciting possibilities – from making DeFi smarter and trading more automated Projects like the most promising Dawgz AI that use AI in useful ways are attracting lots of attention because they represent the cutting edge of crypto innovation and potential future growth the S&P 500 has officially closed higher for its ninth consecutive trading day marking the first such streak since 2004 (source: The Kobeissi Letter on Twitter This extended bullish momentum is significant for traders as it signals strong market confidence and could influence short-term trading strategies particularly for those monitoring large-cap U.S With the S&P 500 acting as a benchmark for global risk sentiment this historic run may contribute to increased volatility and trading opportunities across both traditional and digital asset markets An industry leading commentary on the global capital markets Find sanctuary city resources from the City of Portland's Immigrant & Refugee Program including free legal services and state resources for reporting hate crimes The Bull Run Watershed is a temperate rainforest 26 miles east of downtown Portland The protected watershed has been the Portland region’s primary water source since 1895 It’s no surprise that the Bull Run is a pretty wet place—it is a rainforest Portlanders rely on the delicious water of the Bull Run Watershed so we pay close attention to what happens out there We depend on partnerships with several federal agencies to maintain monitoring systems that collect data on precipitation and streamflow has the details on what went down—and what didn’t Spoiler alert: We’re talking about a lot of water and a little bit of Bigfoot Since around 2014, some different seasonal weather patterns have emerged in the watershed These include faster transitions from wet to dry seasons Most of the last 10 years have included one or more of these new seasonal weather patterns This means the average weather conditions of the full historical record are different from those of the more recent record 2024 had a more muted expression of some of these newer characteristics It more or less took the middle road between the old and the new Let’s take a quick walk through the statistics annual precipitation was about two inches above the historical average January 2024 saw very high precipitation due to the snow and ice event that month May and June also had higher than average precipitation in 2024 This is unlike many other recent years that had below average precipitation in May and June June’s high precipitation was largely due to an atmospheric river rain event early in the month 2024’s summer precipitation was below average—similar to many other recent years The Bull Run’s 2024 snow accumulation was very close to historical averages We track snow accumulation using three federally funded snow telemetry (SNOTEL) sites These SNOTELs remotely measure “snow water equivalent” (SWE) SWE is a measure of how much water would be available if all the snow instantly melted snow began to accumulate later in the year than the historical average This late start has become typical in recent years although snow accumulation has often started even later (around a month!) than it did in 2024 Changes to snowpack levels and timing don’t impact our drinking water availability as much as they do in many other Western cities. That’s because rain, not snowmelt, provides most of our drinking water Many streams and rivers (called tributaries) flow into our Bull Run water reservoirs streamflow bounced around median historical values 2024 streamflow (purple line) was consistently below average (black line) Although precipitation in June–August was above average This is likely because warmer air temperatures increase transpiration from trees This increased evaporation causes a large outflow of water to the atmosphere That water would otherwise make its way underground to streams Air temperatures were above average nearly all year Air temperatures reached 104°F the first week of July and the month broke record highs in Portland you can see that flows were on a steep decline after the early June atmospheric river after several weeks of above average temperatures Production demand is a measure of how much water we serve to our customers January 2024 saw a large spike in water demand due to the snow and ice event The cold weather caused many main (pipe) breaks and water leaks water demand in 2024 was very similar to the past five years We don’t focus on longer-term averages of demand the same way we do for environmental variables like precipitation or streamflow This means comparing current to past demand is not a simple apples-to-apples comparison Drawdown is when we begin to take more water out of the Bull Run Reservoirs than streamflow brings in This gradually reduces the amount of water stored in the reservoirs the Bull Run reservoirs started drawdown at the end of June That’s about 10 days earlier than the long-term average start of drawdown Drawdown ends when fall rains begin to refill the reservoirs That’s about 10 days later than the average end of drawdown but similar timing to recent years In 2024, we used our secondary groundwater supply to supplement Bull Run water near the end of the drawdown period A report of things being average kind of stands out in a time when so much around us is vividly in flux But that’s our water system for you—somehow always a little different.Supply-rich during regional droughts.Full reservoirs in the spring even when there is little snow.A fire near our drinking water intake that doesn’t cause major water quality issues.Being average in the oddest of times.…and…Bigfoot what accounts for this lack of cryptid traffic Folks who work at our Bull Run Watershed facilities and those whose work takes them into the woods may have their own stories to tell An incomplete list of hypotheses for the Bull Run Bigfoot Phenomen-not: See something we could improve on this page? Give website feedback The City of Portland ensures meaningful access to City programs, services, and activities to comply with Civil Rights Title VI and ADA Title II laws and reasonably provides: translation, interpretation, modifications, accommodations, alternative formats, auxiliary aids and services.

While BTC trades sideways, capital is already rotating into altcoins, from AI-backed projects like Dawgz AI to trending meme coins and revitalized DeFi tokens Unlike past cycles where Bitcoin dominance dictated the pace 2025 is shaping up to be more sector-driven Early gains in smaller caps suggest that investors are positioning ahead of major catalysts altcoins could continue leading the charge before the broader market catches on major rallies were preceded by a handful of reliable indicators that now seem to be reappearing in 2025 One of the most consistent signals is Bitcoin’s consolidation phase When BTC holds steady after a strong move up it often opens the door for capital rotation into altcoins This pause in volatility can give traders more room to take on risk elsewhere Another key metric is rising total value locked (TVL) across DeFi protocols which reflects both renewed user interest and developer activity On-chain data also shows increased wallet creation across Ethereum which is a signal that fresh participants are entering the market presale tokens and early-stage altcoins are gaining traction especially those tied to themes like AI and automation Projects like Dawgz AI have benefited from this early-stage interest as traders look to gain exposure to emerging sectors before the next major market catalyst hits As the market prepares for the next crypto bull run Here’s a look at three that traders are watching closely in 2025: Dawgz AI is quickly becoming one of the more talked-about presale tokens heading into this market cycle Built on a meme-forward brand with an AI-powered foundation Dawgz AI taps into two of the most viral trends in crypto: community and automation Rather than relying purely on social hype, it’s bringing actual tools to the table, giving holders access to automated trading bots, staking rewards, and structured tokenomics that go beyond the usual meme template. Currently raising funds in an active presale Dawgz AI has already pulled in over $3.38 million with the token price scheduled to rise from $0.004 to $0.00438 in the next stage Here’s what’s helping Dawgz AI stand out ahead of the next bull run: For a more in-depth look at $DAGZ, you can check the video below by crypto enthusiast ClayBro, where he explains why Dawgz AI could be the next crypto to explode in the next bull run Cardano has been quietly building through the bear market and now it’s showing signs of strength as altcoin momentum returns Known for its academic development model and scalable proof-of-stake architecture Cardano has long been seen as a slow mover With smart contract activity rising and ecosystem projects gaining traction ADA is beginning to attract renewed interest as capital flows out of Bitcoin and into high-cap altcoins and ecosystem depth could help it become a key player in the early stages of rotation According to CoinMarketCap Stellar may not dominate headlines like newer meme coins or high-volatility DeFi tokens but it remains one of the most respected projects in the space Built for cross-border payments and asset transfers especially in markets where traditional finance remains inaccessible or costly In a rotation environment where fundamentals start to matter again Stellar’s longevity and global use case could become an advantage Based on CoinMarketCap data One of the most consistent patterns in previous bull runs is that early positioning makes all the difference By the time mainstream traders and media catch up most of the major gains are already priced in That’s why 2025’s altcoin rotation is being watched so closely but for what’s quietly gaining traction before the wave fully hits Smart positioning doesn’t require aggressive risk and a willingness to look where attention hasn’t fully arrived yet that means exploring presale projects like Dawgz AI which align with trending narratives like AI and automation it’s about re-entering high-cap altcoins like Cardano or Stellar as they begin to recover from long consolidation phases it’s to understand why certain tokens are being accumulated before the wider market reacts the best setups tend to appear early and quietly The next crypto bull run may not look like the last and that’s exactly why traders are watching altcoins so closely From established projects to newer entries like Dawgz AI this rotation phase could mark the beginning of a broader shift in how and where early opportunities appear Dawgz AI is one of the early-stage tokens gaining attention among traders speculating on high-upside potential in 2025 While a 1000x return is rare and unpredictable presale projects with strong narratives and low initial market caps tend to attract interest during early bull market phases Dawgz AI and other altcoins are already showing early movement many analysts are watching the months leading into Q3 2025 especially as market volatility stabilizes and capital begins flowing back into riskier assets Dawgz AI is being considered by some traders as a presale entry ahead of broader momentum or scalable networks are also being accumulated by early-positioned investors Dawgz AI’s presale momentum is part of a larger pattern many see as the start of a new cycle and on-chain activity suggest that a bull run is increasingly likely in 2025 though timing and duration remain market-dependent According to Mihir (@RhythmicAnalyst) on Twitter Solana (SOL) price action throughout its bull run has been consistently supported by a single major trendline The latest chart analysis shows SOL is currently in a recovery phase rebounding from recent lows while staying above this crucial support This trendline is a key technical indicator for traders; sustained price action above this level may signal continued bullish momentum while a breakdown could indicate trend reversal Traders are advised to monitor SOL’s interaction with this support for actionable entry and exit points (source: Mihir via Twitter Crypto educator and technical analyst who developed 15+ trading indicators blending software expertise with Vedic astrology research Pepe Coin (PEPE) has been making waves in the crypto market attracting the attention of both retail investors and large institutional players With the broader cryptocurrency market in a bullish phase PEPE is positioning itself for what could be a significant breakout and expert insights surrounding PEPE’s price forecast Pepe Coin (PEPE) was trading at around $0.000009150 at press time. Source: Brave New Coin the surge can be attributed to several factors including a significant spike in trading volume “PEPE’s strong performance is backed by both technical signals and an increase in investor participation particularly from whales,” said one market analyst “Once PEPE breaks into the $0.00001050 zone it could set the stage for a larger rally,” Wynn tweeted recently Wave E is complete, and retracement to $0.0000078 is a buying opportunity, with wave F possibly ending between $0.000017 and $0.000022. Source: SAJAD BAZYAR on TradingView As the coin continues to gain momentum, the market is closely watching how PEPE handles this resistance. Breaking above this level would not only be a huge milestone but potentially propel the coin towards its previous all-time high levels, pointing to a potential path to $0.001 The rise in whale activity has also been a key driver of PEPE’s bullish outlook there has been an abrupt increase in the number of addresses that are holding 10 million to 100 million PEPE with these large holders pushing the price up it shows confidence that the coin will increase Smart money flows have also been increasing with two behemoth smart money wallets purchasing $1.3 million worth of PEPE tokens over the last few days These events show that the price can still move upwards with more large investors entering the market, thereby confirming the trend of being bullish. In case the current whale accumulation trend continues PEPE will continue to surge as it has strong market fundamentals and investor sentiment PEPE’s short-term resistance is at $0.00001000, with a take-profit zone at $0.00001050, followed by a rally and retest to confirm a breakout. Source: James Wynn via X “PEPE is showing solid signs of upward momentum and if the broader market continues to favor meme coins there’s a realistic chance we could see PEPE test higher levels,” said a technical analyst following the coin’s movements After piercing through the $0.00001050 resistance and retesting it, PEPE is set for a massive price rally as FOMO drives further momentum. Source: James Wynn via X However, there are potential obstacles. The $0.00001 level of resistance still is a tough hurdle, and market volatility, particularly in response to more general macroeconomic trends, could see corrections. Experts caution that the future is rosy, but a near-term retracement to lower levels Whether it is able to clip off another zero from its valuation and finally achieve $0.001 will be dependent on multiple factors like the mood of the market For the moment, PEPE investors are optimistic.

the trail is under two miles in total length as a loop the terrain is mostly flat with only a few gentle slopes and the dirt paths are quite compacted and visible which means that this is a great destination for people of all ages Credit: Nova Parks Located around Centreville Bull Run Regional Park has roughly 1,500 acres of park and facilities making it a great space for a day outside with the family or with friends A few fun things to do at Bull Run include: To enter Bull Run Regional Park there is a fee per vehicle and you can opt for any of the following rates: Peak season is defined as April through October and non-peak season is November through March The good news is that Bull Run Regional Park is open daily from sunrise to sunset and the gatehouse is open from March 1st until October 31st The important thing to know is that parking space is limited so it’s better to arrive early if you do not want to wait for parking to open up or if you want to experience the trail without too many others around Land use hearing ahead for Bull Run project Construction was active at the Bull Run Filtration Project site when the DJC visited in September 2024 Portland orders halt to Bull Run construction Construction at the Bull Run Filtration Plant site has been under way since June but the Portland Water Bureau ordered a halt to construction on Friday Bull markets last 5.5 years on average but can vary quite a bit but it tends to occur after a recession or downturn in the market Signs that the market is on a bull run include optimistic investor sentiment How you should invest during a bull market largely depends on your goals as they historically perform well during a bull run advisors recommend against changing your investment strategy based on temporary market fluctuations rebalance to ensure your portfolio is appropriately diversified.  The end of a bull market is when the upward trend is followed by a bear market (a decline of at least 20%) or a correction (a 10% drop) Bull markets are generally a good time to buy stocks investors should examine the value of individual stocks they are considering instead of simply observing the broader market trend Wall Street investors use slang and jargon to describe the state of the stock market and the economy A "bull market" is a popular term stock traders use to describe a long extended period when stock prices rise and investors' outlook is optimistic.  Bull markets often coincide with increased consumer spending as unemployment declines and wages rise Consumers tend to be more optimistic about the future and are more willing to spend as investors run with the bulls.  Regular retail investors can also benefit from bull markets by investing with one of the best stock trading apps which offers extended market trading hours and fee-free trades.  and what they mean for institutional and individual investors "Bull markets happen when the economy is strengthening, and stock prices are rising," says Teresa J.W. Bailey, CFP and senior wealth strategist at Waddell & Associates.  Bull markets are defined as a period of rising prices and optimism over a continuous period of time.  A rule of thumb that the stock market is experiencing a bull run is a 20% price increase from the market's most recent low. This rise usually coincides with signs that prices will continue to grow.  That said, bull markets can affect any asset class, including stocks, real estate, bonds, gold, and digital currencies like cryptocurrency The term "bull market" is thought to have come from how a bull attacks, with the term "bear market" following the same line of thinking symbolizing how confident investors "charge" the market.  Bull markets are characterized by factors such as: A bull market tends to occur when the economy strengthens from greater business investment and higher consumer spending As people spend more on goods and services the prices of goods and services can inflate Too much inflation can hurt the economy.  Another factor that could coincide with the start of a bull market is policy changes if a new regime takes control of a country it could enact legislative changes that are more favorable for businesses therefore jumpstarting more robust economic growth and motivating investors to put their money into risk assets like stocks If a new regime reduces regulation or cuts taxes it can help fuel stronger economic growth and greater investor confidence.  and the longest-lasting bull market occurred from 2009 to 2020 and it's impossible to predict exactly when a bull market will end They die when the market changes fundamentally such as when prices rise too high or fast or some other event deflates investor confidence Because it's impossible to tell when a market has reached its top from a ground-level perspective it isn't easy to foresee the turning point before you are in it "Markets move quickly," Bailey says."Historically we've seen markets move as much as 9 or 10% in one day." The length of any given bull market is informed by the factors of its time — a concept made clear if you take a moment to examine some of the biggest bull markets in history: leading to a commendable annualized return of 20% consumer goods purchased to fuel the Baby Boom were the main driver while a strong export market also helped companies grow The Federal Reserve raising interest rates and international tension stopped this bull's run the market was back in bull territory by 1957 The financial institutions that encouraged home financing and mortgage trading did extremely well until interest rates started to climb again Subprime borrowers also began defaulting on their loans The bull market ended in early October 2007 as stocks peaked A bear market arrived the following summer.  This record-breaking bull market lasted 131.4 months (nearly 11 years) After taking a beating during the Great Recession (2007 to 2009) the S&P 500 gained over 400% after reaching a low of roughly 666 points on March 6 the Dow Jones Industrial Average reached a record high of 29,551 points The gains for the S&P alone amounted to over $18 trillion on paper The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq were pounded soon after The global spread of the new Coronavirus brought widespread fears over economic and social damage as businesses shuttered and millions of people were thrown out of work.  The US stock market has been on a bull run for approximately two years and shows few signs of slowing The S&P 500 has increased over 63% over the last few years since its low point on October 12 The upcoming Trump presidency also boosted investor enthusiasm causing the markets to soar in anticipation of promised tax cuts The value of the US dollar climbed roughly 1.5% after Trump won the November 2024 election.  not all market sectors are experiencing high wins Internal stocks are declining in preparation for incoming tariffs on imports from Mexico Healthcare companies like Pfizer and Eli Lilly also experienced a mid-November slump.  investors can expect more stock growth in their portfolios especially for folks largely invested in tech stock powerhouses like Nvidia Some experts believe the S&P 500 is expected to rise another 99% over the next four years Not everyone is confident in this prediction so diversifying your portfolio across multiple market sectors is key to mitigating risk it's important to remember that the stock market is unpredictable While history tells us that a bull market can last many years thoroughly research potential investment opportunities frequently rebalance your portfolio and diversify your asset allocation to match your goals
