Courtesy of Patrick Brown/FX ***The following contains certain spoilers for Alien: Earth!*** When it came time to marry picture and music for FX’s Alien: Earth, series creator Noah Hawley did what he’s done for close to 20 years: call up Jeff Russo. “[He] said, ‘I’m adapting the Alien IP, for television. What do you think, musically?’” Russo recalls over Zoom. “We started talking and I began writing music for it. It seemed like…not a foregone conclusion, but a conversation that was being had.” A founder of Tonic and a previous member of Low Stars, the composer has scored all of Hawley’s film and television projects since The Unusuals (2009). “Everything I’ve learned about making music for storytelling, I learned by doing with him,” Russo adds. “He really knows what he wants. And when you have a confident filmmaker that is also open to artistic collaboration, it’s the best of all the worlds.” The first small screen translation of the nearly 50-year-old franchise known for straddling horror, sci-fi, and action genres, Alien: Earth takes place two years before the events of the 1979 original and nearly six decades before Aliens. “We talk a lot about trying to figure out what the underlying property is making our audience feel,” Russo explains. “Trying to create a unique narrative and way of telling the story, but at the same time, making the audience feel that same feeling. In this case, there’s that feeling of dread. There’s that tense, eerie feeling created with such a deft hand in Alien. And then [came Aliens, which was] such a great action piece.

The post an Crypto Market Survive the New Trade War? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Unlike traditional equities, cryptocurrencies are not tied to a single economy, but they react sharply to macroeconomic shocks. Tariffs between the US and China hit two pressure points: inflation and liquidity. Higher import costs push inflation up, and central banks may respond with tighter monetary policy, reducing liquidity. For risk assets like Bitcoin and altcoins, reduced liquidity often translates into selling pressure. At the same time, crypto is increasingly viewed as a hedge against geopolitical risk. If trade tensions escalate into broader financial instability, investors may turn to Bitcoin as a digital safe haven, mirroring how gold reacts to crises. This dual role creates volatility: panic selling first, then speculative inflows if confidence in fiat weakens. Chart Analysis: Where Is the Crypto Market Headed? Total Market Cap: TradingView Looking at the Total Crypto Market Cap chart, the recent candles tell a story of sharp reversal. After testing the upper Bollinger Band near $4.2 trillion, the market plunged below $3.7 trillion, with a massive wick extending towards $3.2 trillion. That wick signals extreme panic liquidation, followed by partial recovery. The Bollinger Bands are widening, which usually signals higher volatility ahead. The mid-band around $3.93 trillion is acting as resistance, while immediate support sits near $3.59 trillion. If this level breaks decisively, the next stop could be $3.2 trillion. On the upside, reclaiming $3.9–4 trillion could set the stage for a rebound rally. Could Rare Earth Politics Spill Into Crypto Market? Image Source: Truthsocial China’s restrictions on rare earth exports aren’t just about minerals; they’re a geopolitical weapon.

When equities are unstable, crypto often becomes collateral damage as institutions de-risk across all volatile asset classes. But…
