$GOOGL Google search volume hits a five-year growth record, but ad revenue growth is slowing
Google says the year-over-year growth rate in search queries reached its highest level in five years, but search business revenue growth slowed from 17% last quarter to 12%.
Moreover, searches in AI Mode are three times longer on average than traditional searches. Users are asking more complex questions, which may mean higher computing costs for the platform, while ad monetization is also being adjusted.
More people are using it, but it's making money more slowly?

$ZEC In this market, the bears are practically winning on easy mode, while the big bulls have nearly been pushed into a corner.
First, the most eye-catching trader—Kevin. He opened a short position worth 1.49 million U at 1265, and is now sitting on over 20,000 U in unrealized profit. While everyone else was having lunch, he was still adding to his position. That’s a seasoned trader cashing in.
By contrast, the top bull, Cizzy, still has nearly 20,000 U in paper profit on the long position he opened at 1218, but the current price is now less than 30 points from his entry. A slight dip from her

What Is a Trading Plan? How Can Entry, Stop-Loss, Take-Profit, and Position Management Be Integrated into an Executable Set of Rules?
In cryptocurrency trading, many people analyze the market every day but have no clear trading plan. They chase a rising price, then change their stop-loss on the fly when a trade turns unprofitable, ultimately turning trading into an emotion-driven reaction. The value of a trading plan is that it sets out in advance when to enter, how to control risk, and when to exit.
First, what does a trading plan include?
A complete trading plan typically includes market ana

Giving a bot API access—is that the same as handing over your account?
Some trading tools ask you to create an API key when connecting them. Does handing it over mean they can do anything?
It depends on which permissions you grant.
You can think of an API as an access card for programs: some can only view account statements, some can place and cancel orders, and some can also initiate withdrawals. Permissions vary across platforms.
If it's only tracking returns, it usually doesn't need trading permissions; even a trading bot doesn't necessarily need withdrawal permissions.
But “unable to withd

Banks can freeze accounts and restrict withdrawals during a crisis. That’s not a conspiracy theory—it’s written into the rules. We’re used to thinking of deposits as “our own money, available whenever we want,” but once deposited, they are legally a claim against the bank. Banks use those funds for lending and asset allocation. If there’s a bank run, a liquidity crunch, or systemic risk, regulators and banks can restrict withdrawals under provisions for crisis resolution, capital controls, temporary bank closures, and other measures.

$PEPE is currently at 0.00000507, up 7.42% over 24 hours. The 1-hour and 4-hour trends are both strong, with RSI at 66.67 and 76.81, respectively. But it is just one step away from the shared resistance at 0.00000523, while 1-hour volume is only 0.493x its usual level, so follow-through at these highs is not confirmed.
Current assessment: bullish, but the risk of crowding is rising. If it holds above 0.00000523 on increased volume, the bullish case will be more solid; if it pulls back below 0.00000474, that would indicate insufficient support on the first pullback, and the strong trend would n

$SOL is currently at 100, down 2.05% over 24 hours. The 1-hour and 4-hour trends both lean weak, but 1-hour trading volume is only 0.021148 times normal. The price has already moved lower, but trading volume has not expanded accordingly, which weakens the case for the decline to continue.
Current assessment: weak, but with insufficient confidence. The 1-hour EMA20 is at 101.0249, and the price at 100 is below it. RSI at 37.19 is also weak. A break below 99.26 on rising volume would strengthen the bearish case; a rebound above 101.0249 and toward 103.86 would suggest this low-volume decline may

What Is a Stop-Loss Strategy? Why Is Setting an Exit Point in Advance More Important Than Making a Decision After Losses Occur?
In cryptocurrency trading, what truly tests traders is often not how much they can make when the market rises, but whether they can control losses in time when they are wrong. A stop-loss strategy means deciding in advance under what conditions to exit before entering a trade, preventing losses on a single trade from continuing to grow and jeopardizing the safety of the entire account.
First, what is a stop-loss strategy?
A stop-loss is a method of setting exit condit

Bitcoin volatility is back to levels last seen in summer 2023, according to Glassnode.
Back then, the market moved from a rally into meme coin and altcoin speculation before activity cooled down.
Now, volatility is compressing again. This could set the stage for a stronger move, but the direction remains uncertain.
The key is to watch whether trading volume returns and price breaks out of its current range.
A quiet market doesn't guarantee a breakout, but it can be worth watching closely.

$BTC BTC is now grinding back and forth around $80,000. Looking at the chart, the price was first pushed down from around $81,300, and only found some breathing room after wicking down to around ,700, showing that buyers are stepping in below, but the rebound lacks strength—don’t rush to call a reversal.
In the short term, watch the $79,400–80,000 support zone. If it holds, a rebound toward $81,300 is possible, with resistance above at $81,900–82,000. If $79,400 breaks, the next level to watch is around $78,200.
My view: BTC remains in a weak, choppy range. The key question is not whether it b
