ARK Invest disclosed its first crypto-related trades of 2026, purchasing COIN, CRCL, and BLSH.

ChainCatcher news reports that, according to 10x Research analysis, Bitcoin is currently maintaining a support range of $106,000 to $108,000, but market signals indicate a potential significant breakthrough.Options market data shows that traders' concerns about short-term downside risks are increasing, especially related to upcoming U.S. employment data, BLS revisions, CPI, and Federal Reserve meetings. The current skew in the options market is -4.3%, reflecting strong demand for put options, indicating that the market's expectation of a significant drop in Bitcoin prices is increasing. Additionally, technical analysis suggests that Bitcoin's movement may not be unidirectional downward; as U.S. Treasury yields decline and expectations for interest rate cuts rise, the Federal Reserve faces one of its most critical policy tests of the year. Market catalysts are continuously accumulating, and the price movements in the coming days may determine the next phase for Bitcoin. Investors should closely monitor the release of relevant data and market reactions to seize potential trading opportunities.

ChainCatcher news, according to the Wall Street Journal, E.J. Antony, chief economist at the conservative think tank Heritage Foundation, is a leading candidate for the director of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). According to a senior government official, the Trump administration is interviewing candidates for the BLS director position, including at least one person who has long criticized the agency. Earlier this month, Trump dismissed the BLS director following a weak jobs report, and officials are currently weighing potential successors.E.J. Antony, who is being interviewed, has long questioned the agency's employment data collection methods as the chief economist at the Heritage Foundation. A White House spokesperson stated, "President Trump has selected the best talent to lead the federal government and will announce the new BLS director after a decision is made." The report indicates that the White House's consideration of appointing a well-known critic suggests that Trump plans to implement significant reforms at the agency. (Jin Shi)

ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi Data, there has been noticeable unrest in the currency markets as Trump fired the head of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, McIntyre, and was accused of attempting to manipulate economic data. Meanwhile, the independence of the Federal Reserve is also facing ongoing attacks from the government.ANZ stated in a report that financial markets place a high value on the independence of statistical data, and the firing of McIntyre "can certainly be seen as yet another move to undermine the United States' status as a safe haven in the global economy."

ChainCatcher News, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) stated in its employment report on Friday that it no longer plans to reduce the sample size of its key labor market survey, as the recently passed continuing resolution "allows BLS to use current Population Survey (CPS, also known as the household survey) funding at a faster pace."BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer first announced the plan to cut the sample size in June of this year, citing budget constraints and declining response rates that made the survey more expensive and difficult to conduct.The plan would reduce 5,000 households starting in early 2025, bringing the total down to 55,000. BLS received approximately $700 million in funding in the fiscal year that just ended in September. Advocacy group "Friends of BLS" and former White House economists recently urged lawmakers to increase funding by about $20 million for fiscal year 2025, but current proposals in the House and Senate fall far short of this request. The short-term funding bill passed in September will keep the government running until December, which includes $6 million in support for the CPS.
