What is the Gravestone Doji?
What This Means for the Market
Altcoins Are Coming
Crypto Payroll Is Changing
Wrapping it Up
As we dive deeper into the cryptocurrency realm, patterns like the Gravestone Doji start popping up, hinting at potential shifts in the market's dynamics. The appearance of this pattern could signal that Bitcoin's dominance, which has ruled the roost for a while, is at a crossroads. Buyers did their part to drive prices up, but the inability to hold those gains raises significant questions. Let's break down what this could mean for BTC dominance and, ultimately, for altcoins.

What is the Gravestone Doji?​

A Gravestone Doji forms when the open and close prices are nearly identical at the low of the session, topped off with a long upper shadow. This indicates that buyers made a move but couldn't keep the momentum going. It’s a sign of indecision, and in the context of Bitcoin, it suggests that its stronghold in the market might be weakening.

Historically speaking, this pattern isn’t a foolproof indicator. Research suggests it has been about 57% reliable in predicting subsequent upward movements. So, it cannot be used alone. It’s best to pair it with other indicators like RSI or MACD to minimize false signals.

What This Means for the Market​

Right now, BTC dominance is dancing around indecision, as shown by the Gravestone Doji. This could mean that Bitcoin's stronghold is slowly slipping away, potentially allowing altcoins to gain ground. As Bitcoin bounces around, investors should keep an eye on key indicators like trading volumes and sentiment to gauge the broader market health.

A decline in Bitcoin's dominance often sees capital flowing into altcoins. This could create opportunities for those looking to diversify their holdings.

Altcoins Are Coming​

With the Gravestone Doji emerging on the BTC dominance chart, it’s clear that altcoins might be gearing up for their moment. If Bitcoin's dominance continues to drop, altcoins could take center stage. Investors should think about reallocating some resources into promising altcoins, especially those in DeFi or linked to cutting-edge technologies.

Tokens like Ethereum (ETH), Binance Coin (BNB), and others might benefit from a changing market sentiment. By diversifying, investors can position themselves for potential altcoin seasons, where price movements get wild.

Crypto Payroll Is Changing​

The rise of altcoins and stablecoins is also shaping how businesses handle payroll. As Bitcoin's dominance dims, companies are turning to stablecoins for their operations, ensuring they stay stable and compliant. We’ve seen this happen more in places like Singapore and Hong Kong with clearer regulations.

Using cryptocurrency payments in payroll is becoming more mainstream. Startups paying salaries in Bitcoin or stablecoins are gaining traction, reflecting a wider acceptance of digital currencies in daily transactions. This not only streamlines operations but also attracts talent that values innovative payment methods.

Wrapping it Up​

To sum it all up, the Gravestone Doji pattern is a crucial indicator for understanding potential shifts in Bitcoin's dominance and the broader crypto market. While it doesn’t guarantee a market crash, it does suggest that Bitcoin's grip is weakening, paving the way for altcoins. Investors should stay on their toes and adjust their strategies to seize emerging opportunities.

As the crypto world evolves, being aware of market indicators and adapting will be key. By diversifying into altcoins, investors can navigate the complexities and position themselves for future growth.

The remaining nearly 2,900 applications filed between the scheme’s launch in April and August were approved, The Straits Times reported, citing a written reply to parliamentary questions by Minister for Manpower Tan See Leng on Tuesday.

He added that most applicants, whether successful or not, were aged between 26 and 40.

Two major cryptocurrencies have crashed after Donald Trump imposed 100 per cent tariffs on “any and all critical software” from China, astrade tensions continue to escalate between the two countries.

Bitcoin and Ethereum both saw record liquidations as investors reacted to fears over a trade war, which saw many crypto investors move their money to stablecoins or safer assets.


In the last 24 hours, Bloomberg reports that bets worth more than $19bn have been wiped out, with Trump’s announcement on X sparking a decline of more than 12 per cent in Bitcoin.

In a post to his Truth Social platform on Friday, the US president said Beijing had sent an “extremely hostile letter to the world”, and imposed “large-scale export controls on virtually every product they make”.

European Banking Giants Band Together to Challenge U.S. Stablecoin Supremacy​

October 12, 2025

In a defining move for the continent’s digital finance ambitions, nine major European banks have announced a consortium to launch a euro‐denominated stablecoin in the second half of 2026. The project is far more than a technological experiment: it is an overt challenge to the dominance of U.S. dollar-pegged tokens, a bid for financial sovereignty, and a signal that Europe intends to stop reacting to innovation and start shaping it.

---

The New Frontline​

The banks involved—among them ING, UniCredit, SEB, CaixaBank, DekaBank, KBC, Danske Bank, Banca Sella and Raiffeisen Bank International—are forming a new Netherlands-based company to issue the stablecoin. They plan to offer an asset that is pegged 1:1 with the euro, compliant with EU regulation under the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework, regulated as an e-money instrument. The goal: to build an alternative digital payment rail that is fast, cheap, efficient, and interoperable across borders.

Europe’s stablecoin market, by contrast, is still small. While the dollar-pegged giants (USDC, USDT) dominate globally—accounting for the lion’s share of stablecoin market value—euro-backed tokens remain niche. According to recent estimates, euro stablecoins total less than a billion euros compared to hundreds of billions in U.S. counterparts.

This consortium’s ambition is to close that gap—not merely by launching another euro stablecoin, but by offering one with the weight, trust, and regulatory clarity that only some of Europe’s largest banks can bring.

Takeaways by Bloomberg AI​

Crypto project Ethena’s yield-bearing stablecoin briefly lost its dollar peg during a market rout that triggered record liquidations.

USDe, which is marketed as a “synthetic dollar” and currently offers holders a 5.5% yield, fell to 65 cents against the dollar on Binance. The token is designed to maintain a price close to that of the US dollar, which it regained shortly after the initial selloff.

Takeaways by Bloomberg AI​

A private home project in Singapore saw a near sellout in its first weekend of sales, underscoring the city-state’s persistently hot residential market despite multiple rounds of government cooling measures.

The Skye at Holland, a development in one of the nation’s top expatriate enclaves, sold about 658, or nearly 99%, of its 666 units, according to a statement from the developers. They sold at an average S$2,953 ($2,277) per square foot.

Singapore seen as ‘safe haven’ despite global trade risks​

NODX forecast raised as strong exports offset tariff headwinds.

Singapore’s trade outlook remains vulnerable despite an improved forecast for exports, according to RHB.

Singapore’s economy is facing persistent global uncertainty, even as near-term trade data offers some upside surprises, RHB said in a new report.

The analysis comes after US President Donald Trump signed an executive order imposing new “reciprocal” tariffs on 68 countries and the EU, effective 7 August. The baseline tariff is 10%, with some rates reaching as high as 50% for India, 39% for Switzerland, and 35% for Canada. Several countries, including Cambodia, Thailand, and Taiwan, have negotiated lower rates, while Japan, the EU, and some ASEAN economies have secured broader concessions.

Both US and Chinese officials have signalled that the current 90-day tariff pause could be extended, pending Trump’s approval.

As a trade-dependent economy, where total trade equals nearly three times GDP, Singapore remains highly exposed to shifts in global trade flows. RHB warned that export demand is likely to stay subdued through the second half of 2025, with manufacturing continuing to face headwinds. Electronics, machinery, and precision engineering are among the sectors most at risk from indirect spillover effects, even though Singapore is exempt from some direct US tariffs.

“In contrast to the broader headwinds, we have revised our 2025 forecast for non-oil domestic exports (NODX) upwards to 2.0%, from an initial projection of 0.0%. This revision is supported by a strong YTD performance, with NODX growing at an average of 5.2% YoY in H1 2025, the fastest pace since July 2024,” RHB said, noting broad-based gains in both electronic and non-electronic exports.

RHB is keeping its industrial production forecast unchanged at 2.0% for 2025 but remains most bearish on chemicals, machinery, and transport equipment. Its GDP growth forecast for the year also stays at 2%, with risks tilted to the downside
