Justice Department Sues SpaceX Over Alleged Discrimination

The Heart of the Matter

SpaceX argued that “export control laws” limited their hiring to only U.S. citizens and green card holders. However, these laws impose no such constraints since asylees and refugees can access export-controlled materials just like any U.S. citizen. Moreover, asylees and refugees undergo stringent U.S. government vetting, making them as eligible as any other applicant.

Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke remarked, “SpaceX failed to fairly consider or hire asylees and refugees because of their citizenship status.” Hence, the department seeks civil penalties and policy changes from SpaceX, ensuring compliance with federal non-discrimination laws.

Analyst sets timeline for Bitcoin’s ‘capitulation event’ that’s due next

Image
A cryptocurrency trading expert has suggested that the ongoing Bitcoin (BTC) sell-off will likely escalate in the coming weeks, noting that the asset is facing a possible capitulation event . In a TradingView post on August 3, analyst Alan Santana noted that this projection is based on a detailed examination of historical price movements and critical technical indicators, which forewarn investors of significant market turbulence ahead. According to the expert, Bitcoin surged past $70,000 on July 29, 2024, but the euphoria was short-lived. The cryptocurrency couldn’t sustain this price level for even 15 minutes, swiftly falling below the mark and trading below $65,000.

After worst ‘Uptober’ Bitcoin now likely to crash to $87,000, warns expert

Image
Bitcoin’s (BTC) bullish ‘Uptober’ reputation was shattered this year after the cryptocurrency ended October with a nearly 4% loss, marking its worst October performance since 2014. Now, according to cryptocurrency analyst and TradingView contributor TradingShot, the weak monthly close may signal the start of a deeper correction, potentially sending Bitcoin toward the $87,000 region in the weeks ahead. Bitcoin price analysis chart. Source: Finbold The analyst pointed to a fractal pattern mirroring Bitcoin’s price action between December 2024 and February 2025. During that period, BTC rejected a descending trendline, lost its higher-lows support structure, and ultimately fell roughly 32% from its all-time high.  The recent move, marked by a rejection at the 1-day 50-day moving average (MA), resistance on a descending highs trendline, and stalling at the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement, closely resembles that earlier setup. Notably, since mid-August, Bitcoin has made ...

Bitcoin Price Prediction: BTC’s Seven-Year ‘Uptober’ Streak Shattered By Macro Jitters, ETF Outflows

Image
The Bitcoin price tumbled 4% in October, breaking its seven-year ‘Uptober’ streak as ETF outflows, profit-taking, and macro jitters weighed on the market. An Analysis by Fortune showed it was Bitcoin’s fourth-worst October performance since 2013 and the worst in the past seven years. That left BTC trailing the S&P 500 stock index, which rose 2.3%. The sell-off came as more than $550 million flowed out of major Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs late in the month, with analysts saying profit-taking also played a part as Bitcoin treasury firms, including Michael Saylor’s Strategy, also slowed their BTC buying. We just experienced the first red October in 7 years! We also had an historic liquidation in October!
