Bitcoin Breaks Through $106,000!

On Sunday, June 8, 2025, Bitcoin price broke through the $106,000 level.  However, the weekly movement is relatively stagnant, with an increase of only about 1% in the last seven days. Meanwhile, some altcoins such as Ravencoin and Internet Computer recorded double-digit spikes, reflecting the highly volatile market behavior. Bitcoin’s price action throughout the week showed limited volatility. Despite briefly touching over $106,000, the big rally did not continue, and BTC only recorded minimal weekly gains. This indicates that the $106,000 level is now a strong resistance zone. Technically, this area is often tested, leading to profit-taking by short-term traders. Data from CoinStats indicates that a daily trading range of around 1% is quite narrow for an asset with a market capitalization of over $2 trillion. Consolidation at this resistance suggests that market participants are still waiting for a strong catalyst to push prices higher. While Bitcoin prices are relatively frozen,...

Tonight Apple is Ready to Present a Big Surprise at WWDC 2025

 The time that Apple fanboys all over the world have been waiting for has finally arrived. The annual Worldwide Developers Conference 2025 (WWDC25) will officially be held. As in previous years, the WWDC keynote session will be the main highlight. Why? Because, companies usually use this moment to announce important things related to the operating system on their devices, starting from iOS, iPadOS, macOS, to visionOS. But, this year feels special than ever before because the Cupertino-based company is rumored to be completely overhauling the interface design of its operating system, as well as changing the naming scheme to be more relevant to the launch year. One of the biggest surprises anticipated is the name change from iOS 19 to iOS 26, following a year-based scheme. Predictably, this move aims to align all Apple OS - from iPhone to Mac. Not only that, this name change is also expected to make it easier for iPhone, iPad and other users to understand the generation of software u...

BlackRock Removed from Texas Boycott List After Exiting Climate Group

 The US state of Texas has decided to remove BlackRock from its boycott list after the investment firm decided to withdraw from the Net Zero Asset Managers (NZAM) climate initiative.  Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar said the decision reflected BlackRock’s retreat from climate-related industry groups like NZAM. He also noted that the company has reduced its support for environmental shareholder resolutions and its support for the creation of the new Texas Stock Exchange. "BlackRock has recognized the real social and economic impacts, both in Texas and globally, of restricting investment in the oil and gas industry," Hegar said in a statement on Tuesday (6/5/2026), as quoted by Reuters.  BlackRock's removal from the boycott list will make it easier for Texas state agencies and funds to do business with the largest asset manager. It could also be used as a defense argument in a lawsuit filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton against the company's environmental record. B...

Xbox Games Showcase concludes with announcement of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7

 There have been plenty of rumors suggesting that Activision will be doubling down on the Black Ops formula for 2025, picking up where 2024’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 left off. This would lead to a similar setup to 2022 and 2023, when we had back-to-back Modern Warfare games to enjoy. This has now been confirmed. As the final announcement for the showcase and ahead of The Outer Worlds 2 Direct, we got to meet Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. Outside of a mostly cinematic reveal that confirmed that Mason and Menendez would be returning somehow, the trailer didn’t show off much else of note. Sure, we know that it’ll have a more futuristic focus with VTOL aircraft, robotic dog-like creatures, and an invisible cloaking system, plus a brief glimpse at the undead that confirmed that Zombies would be back too, but otherwise, there’s no other official information presented in the trailer. Given the list of rumors surrounding Call of Duty 2026, which is said to be made by Infinity Ward and once ...

They had made 7 attempts throughout the 20 minutes compared to France's 2. Mike Maignan's toughness under the French crossbar made Germany's chances fail to result in goals.
