Doctor Profit keeps $79,000 Bitcoin short target, sees deepest pullback at $69,000-$71,000

Crypto trader Doctor Profit said he opened a short position in Bitcoin at $86,200 and has placed additional short orders between $86,500 and $89,500 to build a swing short position. His current target remains $79,000, where he plans to assess Bitcoin’s price reaction before deciding whether to take profit or keep the position open. He also said the deepest pullback range he is considering is $69,000 to $71,000, though he does not expect the price to fall below that area. While the short entered at $86,200 has worked so far, he said he will evaluate the market level by level rather than making a direct bet on a deeper correction. His next step is to watch support near $79,000 and use that reaction to judge whether Bitcoin continues lower or reverses, extends the bull market, and sets a new local high.

Coinbase CEO shows AI agent connected to x402 for multi-asset trading

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong said in a post on X that users can paste a specific prompt into an AI agent to connect it to a linked service. Once connected, the agent can view a user’s portfolio, trade cryptocurrencies, stocks, and derivatives, and use the x402 protocol to pay for premium data. Armstrong also invited users to test the feature and send feedback if they run into issues. The demonstration points to a workflow in which an AI agent can both access account-related information and handle payments for data services through x402. The post was published on Armstrong’s X account, cited as @brian_armstrong, and was referenced by Techub News.

Illinois moves to delay tax plan on every crypto transaction

Illinois has agreed to pause a proposed tax policy that would apply a 0.2% levy to a wide range of cryptocurrency activity, including purchases, sales, and even transfers between a user’s own wallets. The measure, introduced in June, was described as something no other U.S. state had previously tried. The tax would apply regardless of whether a trader made or lost money, meaning a taxable event could be triggered simply by using crypto. According to a court filing cited by BlockBeats, state officials and crypto industry groups jointly asked a Sangamon County judge to move the implementation date from Jan. 1, 2027, to July 1, 2027. The change has not taken effect yet and still requires judicial approval.

Jadoodoo’s trading reactions turn a Seoul crypto contest into a viral spectacle

South Korean trading streamer Jadoodoo drew fresh attention after a clip from Frontier Traders: Seoul Showdown spread across X on Sept. 30. In the video, she screams, throws punches in the air, and leaps from her chair as a green one-minute candle lifts the price of NEAR from around $5.29 to roughly $5.36-$5.37. Her screen showed a 25x long in NEAR perpetuals, and the move pushed her unrealized profit to the top of the field. After the burst of celebration, she sat back down and continued trading with her feet on the desk, adding another scene to the persona that has made her widely recognizable online. The Seoul event was listed as part of Korea Blockchain Week side programming in Gangnam, with Solana Foundation named among the organizers. The broader Frontier Traders season runs from Sept. 21 to Nov. 7 with more than $1 million in total rewards, while the Seoul stop listed a ticket to London as its prize. Jadoodoo’s rise traces back to a much older viral clip from Oct. 26, 2023, when she cried, cursed, and smashed a monitor after a position fell from 20 million won to 3 million won. As of Oct. 1, 2026, her YouTube channel had 232,000 subscribers and about 159 million cumulative views.

Goldman Sachs lifts Robinhood target to $145 after September crypto volumes beat expectations

Goldman Sachs raised its 12-month price target on Robinhood Markets (HOOD) to $145 from $144 and kept its Buy rating after the company’s preliminary September activity came in ahead of expectations. In a report dated Sept. 28, 2026, analyst James Yaro said crypto trading volume rose 21% month over month to $21.9 billion, 87% above market consensus and 17% above Goldman’s prior estimate. Event contract volume increased 37% from the previous month, topping consensus by 36% and Goldman’s own forecast by 6%. The bank said those two categories were the biggest positive surprises in the monthly data. Stock and options volumes slipped 2% and 1% from August, respectively, but still exceeded consensus by 17% and 43%. Goldman also revised its revenue outlook higher, citing not only stronger trading activity but also a steeper interest-rate curve, which it said should support Robinhood’s net interest income through the end of 2027. Goldman lifted its 2026-2028 net revenue forecasts by 1%, 4%, and 4%, while adjusted EPS estimates changed by -1%, +4%, and +3%. The modest increase in the target price reflects higher earnings expectations offset in part by a lower valuation multiple.
