Making a 6% weekly uptick, FLOKI recently ripped higher after Elon Musk posted an AI-generated video of his Shiba Inu “Floki” sitting at a CEO desk, reigniting meme-coin risk appetite even as the broader crypto market slipped 3%. Within hours, FLOKI’s price jumped nearly 30% and 24-hour volume exploded 780–817% to roughly $656–$662 million, lifting the token to an intraday high near $0.000088, its best level in almost two weeks. Related Reading: All It Took Was A Tweet: FLOKI Jumps 27% After Musk Mentions It Mentions across X, Reddit, and Telegram climbed 65%, while crypto’s Fear & Greed Index nudged from Fear (37) to Neutral (52), signaling fresh retail participation. Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB) logged modest gains, but FLOKI led meme coins by a wide margin. Breakout Case vs. Bull-Trap Warnings Technicians say FLOKI is retesting a pivotal demand band around $0.00008. A daily close and hold above $0.000075 keeps the breakout thesis alive toward $0.00009, with $0.00010 on the table if momentum and volumes persist. Open Interest surged 162% to about $37.5 million, and long-side liquidations wiped out $275K in shorts during the squeeze. On Binance, negative funding suggests crowded shorts paying to stay positioned, fuel for further upside if price grinds higher. Still, some analysts flag bull-trap risk. The RSI tipped into overbought (>70) during the spike, a zone that historically invites cooling moves; a quick reset back into the 50–70 band would be a healthier springboard. Liquidity “heatmaps” show dense clusters both above and below spot, implying two-way volatility as the price hunts orders before choosing direction. If FLOKI fails to reclaim/hold $0.00009, technicians eye pullbacks toward $0.000072, with a deeper bear case pointing to $0.00004 if risk aversion returns. Key FLOKI Levels as the Market Slips 3% Currently, FLOKI hovers around $0.0000737, down 12% on the day, mirroring the broader market downturnwith Bitcoin near $107,000 and Ethereum around $3,800. In the near term, traders are watching key technical levels that could dictate FLOKI’s next move. Immediate support sits between $0.000072 and $0.000070, with a deeper downside risk toward $0.00004 if momentum fails to hold. Related Reading: CryptoQuant’s Moreno Eyes Bitcoin At $195,000 If This Happens The $0.000080 level acts as the crucial pivot point, a decisive close above it would strengthen the bullish trend and open the path toward higher targets. On the upside, resistance lies at $0.00009, followed by $0.00011 if buying volume expands. With liquidity thin and sentiment still fragile after recent liquidations, celebrity-driven spikes can overextend quickly. However, if flows remain constructive, negative funding persists, open interest stays elevated, and spot demand confirms, FLOKI’s rally could reignite, potentially surpassing the psychological $0.00009 level.

It is no secret that several critical factors drove the recent rally in gold prices. The gradual removal of these conditions could trigger a significant price decline. Gold's upward movement has been supported by rising geopolitical tensions globally, particularly in the Middle East and in Europe, amid the ongoing crisis in Ukraine. This has been accompanied by a shift in U.S. foreign and trade policy aimed at reinforcing its global dominance through trade and tariff conflicts, which diminished the appeal of the dollar as a reserve and safe-haven currency. Additionally, the Federal Reserve's return to cutting interest rates made U.S. government bonds less attractive by comparison, increasing demand for non-yielding assets like gold. More recently, signs of stabilization have emerged. The United States has managed—at least for now—to de-escalate tensions in the Israel–Palestine conflict. Dialogues between President Donald Trump and President Vladimir Putin have resumed. These developments have shifted the broader geopolitical landscape, dampening safe-haven demand and halting gold's surge. Markets understand that price growth driven by fear and uncertainty cannot be sustained indefinitely. As diplomatic relations begin to normalize, risk appetite is likely to recover, causing capital to flow back into riskier assets. This transition reduces the relative attractiveness of defensive assets like gold, increasing the likelihood of a correction or consolidation. Although prices have shown extreme highs in recent months, the possibility of a decline or sideways range is growing. However, the exact timing of this shift remains uncertain, and as long as ambiguity persists around geopolitical issues, residual upward momentum in gold may intermittently return. Looking at the market landscape, activity is expected to be subdued. Investors await U.S. consumer inflation data, scheduled for release later in the week, which may provide clarity on future Federal Reserve policy moves. Additionally, attention is focused on the renewed diplomatic negotiations between Russia and the United States concerning the Ukraine crisis. Market participants are likely to remain cautious, holding positions within previously established ranges until these narratives unfold. Forecast for the DayIn gold, prices remain below the resistance level of 4,273.60. The continued easing of geopolitical tension could weaken demand for gold, pushing prices down to the support level at 4,185.40. The level at 4,237.17 may serve as a technical entry point for short positions. Silver is trading below its current resistance at 50.40. A further decline may lead to a correction toward 48.45, with 46.65 acting as a viable level for initiating sell trades. The material has been provided by InstaForex Company - www.instaforex.com

In financial markets, everything is accounted for—even when data is scarce, investors turn to leading corporate earnings as signals. In this context, the optimistic outlooks shared by General Electric, Philip Morris, and Coca-Cola speak louder than recent U.S. labor market concerns. For these manufacturers, the glass is half full, casting doubt on the likelihood of aggressive Fed rate cuts and lending support to EUR/USD bears. Many are citing France's S&P Global rating downgrade and the looming budget battle between Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu and the French parliament as the primary reasons for the euro's weakness. However, the CAC 40 index reaching a record high and stable spreads between French and German government bond yields suggest that political risk has already been factored into asset prices. CAC 40 Performance vs. Rating Downgrade The prospect of a downgrade by S&P Global had been widely discussed in advance, as had the upcoming Moody's review scheduled for October 24. In theory, downgrades should trigger forced selling by investment funds with strict mandates. In reality, many of these funds are waiving those restrictions to hold onto assets they still deem valuable. The weakness in the euro is clearly being driven by factors extraneous to French domestic politics. Indeed, Lecornu's initial proposal to reduce the fiscal deficit from 5.4% of GDP to 4.7% may struggle to gain traction in parliament. However, the prime minister retains some flexibility—he has previously suggested a figure slightly below 5%, while S&P Global referenced 5.3%. That level could gain cross-party approval among both left- and right-wing lawmakers. The real bearish momentum in EUR/USD is being fueled by strong Q3 earnings from U.S. corporations and fading hopes for peace in Ukraine. A statement from Donald Trump regarding a potential meeting with the Russian president in Hungary briefly boosted the euro amid speculation over a peace deal. Trump voiced strong intentions to pursue a resolution, but Moscow responded with a clear signal that it is not ready to negotiate an end to the conflict. Had peace talks shown real promise, a reduction in geopolitical risk would have supported eurozone currencies. Dynamics of France's credit ratings The Kremlin demands territorial concessions it cannot currently capture, while Kyiv appears willing to freeze the conflict along the current front lines. The gulf between both parties remains vast, so a breakthrough at a Trump–Russia summit seems unlikely. The euro remains under pressure, while upbeat U.S. corporate earnings embolden EUR/USD bears. Technically, the daily EUR/USD chart shows a rejection from dynamic resistance levels represented by key moving averages. This increases the likelihood of a corrective phase forming against the prevailing long-term bullish trend. Short positions initiated from the 1.1640 region are justified and might be strengthened if support at 1.1600 is broken. The material has been provided by InstaForex Company - www.instaforex.com

The past week brought a wealth of macroeconomic data from the United Kingdom, which, at first glance, seemed supportive of a renewed rally in the pound. The labor market report revealed some signs of weakness, particularly a slower pace of job creation compared to the previous month. However, the fact that wage growth remains stubbornly high is a strong inflationary factor. Elevated inflation, in turn, signals that the Bank of England will not be in a hurry to cut interest rates, allowing UK yields to remain relatively attractive. August GDP figures met expectations, and industrial production outperformed forecasts. Still, the third quarter outlook from the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR) remains weak, with only modest GDP growth of 0.3% expected. On Tuesday, the UK's consumer inflation report for September will be released. Last month, NIESR noted a very high probability that inflation would remain above 3% for the next 12 months. Current projections anticipate that core inflation will rise from 3.6% to 3.7% year-over-year, and headline inflation from 3.8% to 4.0%. In the past, such expectations alone would have been enough to support sterling strength, but broader market dynamics have shifted. Other global factors now suggest that the U.S. dollar is poised for renewed appreciation, and the pound is likely to weaken in line with broader risk sentiment. Another underappreciated but significant pressure point for the pound lies in the UK bond market. While the yield on 10-year Gilts stands around 4.5%, a large portion of that yield reflects the "term premium"—the additional return investors demand for holding long-term debt, which is directly linked to fiscal sustainability risks. With UK public debt hovering near 100% of GDP and interest payments totaling approximately £90 billion per year, public finances are under clear strain. Under current inflation expectations, the government would need to find an additional 2% of GDP just to stabilize debt levels, according to NIESR. With a budget deficit of about 5% of GDP and weak economic growth, this appears nearly unachievable—driving risk premia even higher. As a result, the pound is under significant, albeit less obvious, pressure, and demand for sterling is unlikely to grow meaningfully until a clear economic strategy emerges. That clarity depends on a marked improvement in economic activity—something that is improbable at current interest rate levels. Yet, lowering interest rates is off the table as long as inflation expectations remain high. This self-reinforcing dynamic severely limits foreign investment inflows, so demand for the pound, even amid higher interest rates, is likely to remain weak. The fair value estimate for GBP is now trending downward away from its long-term average. Last week, we identified the 1.3140 level as key short-term support, and that target remains valid. The corrective rebound seen in recent days has been shallow and unconvincing. We expect another wave of downward momentum. More clarity will come following the release of the UK and U.S. inflation reports. Until then, the outlook for the pound remains constrained by fiscal concerns, limited growth potential, and deteriorating sentiment.

The broader crypto market is currently navigating a phase of uncertainty, with concerns mounting over the possibility of a new bear market. A recent analysis by Barchart analyst Rob Isbitts highlights three significant signals suggesting that a deeper retreat in crypto prices may be on the horizon. Emerging Correlations Among Crypto Prices The report points to notable trends observed in April of last year, when a 50% increase followed the launch of several spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs_. Specifically, BlackRock’s IBIT fund which boasts over $85 billion in assets under management, subsequently experienced a decline of approximately 25%. A similar pattern was evident in the early months of this year, where fluctuations were mirrored in the market as increased outflows in these investment vehicles began to rise. Currently, the Percentage Price Oscillator (PPO)—a key indicator used by Isbitts—signals increasing chances of a decline in Bitcoin’s price as the weeks progress. Ethereum (ETH) appears to be following a comparable trajectory. Isbitts notes that while Bitcoin remains the leading cryptocurrency, the correlation among various coins is strengthening over time. This heightened correlation implies that Ethereum may also experience declines in tandem with Bitcoin. However, for cryptocurrencies that are further removed from the Bitcoin core, such as Solana (SOL), additional risks emerge. In these cases, not only does correlation impact prices, but a higher “beta” can lead to even steeper declines, reflecting increased volatility. For instance, when Bitcoin recently dropped about 15% from its peak, the futures -based Solana ETF (SOLZ), which has attracted over $220 million in assets in less than seven months, fell by double that percentage. Has Gold Regained Its Safe Haven Status Against Bitcoin? A common thread among the charts shared by Isbitts, is the recent formation of lower lows, indicating a pressing need for a rebound. If this does not occur soon, the expert highlights that the likelihood of further declines in crypto prices increases. The report also discusses a shift in the perception of gold, which has traditionally been viewed as an “anti-US dollar asset.” The expert asserts that as global central banks increase their gold reserves, the dynamics of the market may be changing. Recently, gold has exhibited price movements akin to those seen in cryptos, suggesting a potential resurgence in its role as a safe haven. This shift has impacted crypto stocks and ETFs, with certain funds showing signs of vulnerability as indicated by the PPO nearing a one-year high. A longer-term analysis of Bitcoin by Isbitts illustrates its inherent volatility, yet it has consistently managed to achieve higher highs over time. While this trend may continue, the current market conditions suggest that any future rallies are likely to start from lower price levels. As of this writing, however, Bitcoin, the market’s leading crypto, has regained the $112,900 mark, rising 3% in the last hour of Tuesday morning’s trading session.

The Dogecoin price may be preparing for a powerful breakout after a long period of sideways trading and consolidation. A recent market outlook suggests that DOGE is forming a bullish structure that could lead to a strong upward move. However, analysts warn that the best buying opportunities remain limited to specific lower price levels before the next major rally begins. Chart Pattern Signals Dogecoin Price Breakout Toward $0.5 Market analyst Elite Crypto noted in a recent post on X social media that the Dogecoin price appears to be forming a major breakout pattern, signaling a potential upward move ahead. The analyst’s chart shows a textbook Cup and Handle pattern, a formation that is typically associated with long-term bullish reversals. Dogecoin’s chart setup indicates that the meme coin has completed the “Cup” phase, where prices gradually curved upwards after a long period of accumulation. Now, price action is in the “handle” stage, which, upon completion, usually precedes a breakout to higher levels. In Elite Crypto’s chart, the cup’s base extends from early 2022 through 2024, with Dogecoin consolidating steadily before beginning a rebound into 2025. The market analyst has indicated that if history repeats, the DOGE price could experience a strong rally toward the $0.50 mark, a potential gain of over 160% from its current levels around $0.19. The chart also illustrates a crucial accumulation zone highlighted in green, where the price has been coiling. According to Elite Crypto, this range represents an ideal accumulation area before a larger move unfolds. He emphasized that any price action below the $0.155 level should be considered a solid buying opportunity for spot investors. Reversal Structure Confirms New DOGE Buying Zone In a separate X analysis, crypto market expert Vexe also pointed out a key buying zone for the Dogecoin price. He highlighted that DOGE has cleared all downside liquidity and is not holding firmly above its weekly support range. The analyst’s chart shows that the Dogecoin price action recently rebounded from a key demand area after testing lower levels. The price has stabilized near $0.20, suggesting that sellers may be exhausted, and a potential reversal is taking shape. The green shaded area on the chart highlights the reversal zone, which Vexe calls an ideal buying zone. His chart also features a descending trendline connecting multiple swing highs from the previous cycle. Dogecoin has already tested the resistance line and shows early signs of breaking out. Above the resistance line, Vexe projects a price target of $0.49, representing a potential upside of roughly 327.67% from the lower support zone. Notably, this $0.49 target would also reflect a 157% increase from DOGE’s price of $0.19. According to CoinMarketCap’s data, the meme coin is currently down by approximately 4% in just one day and 28% over the past month.

Somnia crypto aims to make blockchain data function like a live feed, rather than a slow database. The company introduced Data Streams, a new infrastructure layer, on Tuesday, which lets applications subscribe to on-chain state and receive live updates as transactions occur. But what does it mean for SOMI price prediction in Q4 2025? The feature, announced on October 21, is designed for developers working on fast-moving applications, such as trading, gaming, and prediction markets, areas where traditional RPC systems often struggle to keep up. A public waitlist opened the same day, with phased rollouts expected in the coming months. Today, most apps rely on indexers or APIs that constantly query the blockchain. Somnia’s approach flips that model. Instead of pulling data repeatedly, Data Streams will push updates directly to clients the moment state changes occur. The company says this can lower costs and simplify infrastructure for builders. What Is Somnia’s Data Streams and How Does It Work? The first rollout will introduce subscription-based RPCs, followed by what Somnia calls “full on-chain reactivity” early next year. In its technical documentation, Somnia claims its Layer-1 network offers sub-second finality and has achieved seven-figure transaction throughput in tests, setting the stage for real-time consumer use cases. Mainnet is already live, and the team describes Data Streams as the next step toward a faster, web2-like developer experience in Web3. Early marketing for Somnia’s new product focuses on simplicity. The product page says Data Streams “turns on-chain state into live application data,” offering straightforward APIs that let developers read, write, and subscribe to updates. The site invites builders to “join the waitlist” as public access rolls out. Somnia is also outlining where the tool could make a difference. In prediction markets, event feeds could adjust odds and settle results instantly. In insurance, payouts can be triggered automatically once verified data meets preset thresholds. These examples were included in the company’s launch materials, released on Tuesday. In a recent post on X, Somnia stated that Data Streams aims to “bring web2 database performance to web3” and to remove “delays and complexity” from blockchain app development. The message is consistent: Somnia wants developers to think of blockchain data as live, responsive, and easy to work with, not something trapped behind technical friction. DISCOVER: 15+ Upcoming Coinbase Listings to Watch in 2025 SOMI Price Prediction: Is SOMI/USDT Showing Signs of Accumulation After Weeks of Decline? Market Cap 24h 7d 30d 1y All Time According to Tradingview, the SOMI/USDT 4-hour chart shows a bearish trend with slight accumulation traces remaining stretched. The decline of SOMI accelerated in early October, following a fall outside the range of $1.30 that it had left at the end of September, cutting across several areas of support. The fall reached its lowest point of approximately $0.40 on October 11, and following that, there was a temporary recovery, resulting in some sideways action between $0.50 and $0.54. The 50-period EMA is close to $0.54, whereas the 100-period EMA is close to $0.62. The price is also lower than that of both, which confirms that the sellers are still in control of the market. (Source: SOMI USDT, Tradingview) These levels have been responsive to resistance, and each recovery attempt has been rejected. For momentum to shift upward, SOMI would need to close and hold above the $0.55–$0.60 area, backed by rising volume and stronger buying pressure. A brief volume spike on October 3 signaled speculative entries, although sellers quickly regained control once the move faded. Technically, SOMI still sits near the end of a markdown cycle but may be preparing for early accumulation if buyers continue to defend current levels. A daily close above $0.55 could clear space for a move toward $0.62–$0.68. Failure to hold would likely send the price back to test support near $0.48–$0.50. At press time, SOMI trades at $0.523, up about +2% on the day. The pair remains locked in a narrow range, waiting for either side to break the stalemate. The next few sessions should indicate whether it can finally break out of this tight zone and establish a clear trend.

Log in to today's North American session Market wrap for October 21 US stock markets closed with mixed results on Tuesday, despite a flow of positive corporate earnings. The Dow Jones index finished with a gain, driven by solid earnings from industrial companies like General Motors, GE Aerospace, and 3M. However, the S&P 500 index ended the day mostly unchanged, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq closed slightly lower due to weakness in major growth and microchip stocks. General Motors GM.N lifted its forecast and tempered its anticipated tariff hit. The automaker's shares jumped 14.9%. Coca-ColaKO.N shares gained 4.1% after solid consumer demand drove its better-than-expected results, while diversified manufacturer 3M MMM.N advanced 7.7% after hiking its full-year forecast, bolstered by its focus on higher margin products and cost controls. After the market closed, Netflix stock dropped 5.8% in after-hours trading because the streaming company announced profits that were lower than analysts had expected. Overall, the third-quarter earnings season has started well, with 87% of reporting S&P 500 companies beating Wall Street profit forecasts. Yet, because stock prices are already near record highs and are valued expensively, investors are highly selective. Read More: Gold (XAU/USD) Price Down 5.7%, Biggest Daily Drop Since 2020.

This sharp decline was caused by several converging factors such as profit taking, easing haven-demand and US Dollar strength. As investors moved money back to safer, non-commodity assets, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to 3.96%. The cryptocurrency Bitcoin also saw its value fluctuate during this period of renewed risk aversion. A picture of today's performance for major currencies zoom_out_map Currency Performance, October 21 – Source: OANDA Labs The US dollar gained strength on Tuesday, hitting a six-day high, as the Japanese yen weakened significantly following its change in political leadership. he yen slid by 0.76% against the dollar, reaching its lowest level since October 14th. This decline was driven by the election of the pro-stimulus Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, as investors expect her government to prioritize high spending and loose monetary policy, which is negative for the currency. The yen also fell against the euro and the British pound. The US dollar index rose 0.312% because of the yen’s weakness. The euro fell slightly by 0.3% against the stronger dollar, despite recent easing of political tensions in France. The British pound (sterling) was down against the dollar, even though new data showed that the UK's government borrowing for the first half of the financial year was the highest since the pandemic. Investors believe this bad news is already factored into the price, expecting a tough budget next month.

Aave has established itself as the most significant money market in the Ethereum ecosystem, without naming itself, with approximately $ 25 billion in loans in its active portfolio. By October 21, the decentralized lending protocol had almost 1,000 daily distinct borrowers and had over $ 25 billion in outstanding positions, significantly surpassing other competitors, such as SparkLend and Morpho. According to DeFiLlama data, the value of Aave alone as the provider of borrowed funds is nearly $26Bn, which serves to indicate the unprecedented dominance of the company in the industry. (Source: DeFiLlama) Its increase represents a more general trend of DeFi lending towards larger, safer pools following the acute deleveraging of 2022-2023. Capital is concentrating on well-audited protocols with deep liquidity and conservative parameters, areas where Aave continues to lead. Developers are also preparing the launch of Aave v4, a major upgrade designed to connect liquidity across multiple chains. That move could further strengthen its position as the backbone of Ethereum-based credit markets. Currently, Aave dominates in terms of scale and stability. Whether this strength will be reflected in the AAVE token as the larger market seeks its second leg up is the next question. The recent trend of Aave is correlated with the gradual increase of its GHO stablecoin and the anticipation of the next v4 upgrade. The new version will enable liquidity chain linkage and streamline the liquidation process, an action perceived as pivotal to the scaling of decentralized lending. Founder Stani Kulechov described v4 as a path to “deep liquidity for DeFi.” Industry analysts say the upgrade will introduce a hub-and-spoke structure that links multiple networks through a shared liquidity layer, potentially reducing fragmentation across Aave’s markets. The AAVE token traded near $236 in the past 24 hours, gaining about +2.5%. Its market value stood at around $ 3.6 billion, with prices ranging between $219 and $236. Market Cap 24h 7d 30d 1y All Time Still, the token remains far below its previous cycle highs, reflecting investor caution about how protocol earnings translate into token value ahead of the v4 rollout. According to Aave’s dashboard, the protocol generated roughly $370,700 in revenue over the past 24 hours, with annualized earnings of about $95 million. (Source: DeFiLlama) Those figures are closely tracked by stakers and safety module participants, who view them as indicators of future yield and long-term sustainability. DISCOVER: 15+ Upcoming Coinbase Listings to Watch in 2025 AAVE Price Prediction: Why Is AAVE Struggling to Break Above the $260-$280 Resistance Zone? The AAVE/USDT chart shared by crypto analyst Popeye points to a textbook Wyckoff-style distribution pattern. Having experienced a significant surge, the token has since stabilized between approximately $220 and $340, with low highs in between. This pattern typically indicates declining demand and the onset of a market peak. Failures to overcome the resistance, despite several attempts, followed by a more recent dismissal at approximately $260, indicate that sellers rule the day. Further statement of increasing supply pressure is a sharp fall to below $200. Price has since been moving off the low-end range but is being held on the lower end against the resistance of end levels, with little power to buy. According to the Wyckoff scheme, AAVE may be in the markdown phase, where distribution would shift to extensive declines. Analysts say a strong recovery above the $260–$280 area, accompanied by increased volume, would be needed to shift sentiment. Without that, the setup favors continued weakness and the risk of a sustained downtrend.

SharpLink Gaming’s (NASDAQ: SBET) recent $75M Ether purchase hasn’t halted the stock’s decline, leaving investors to wonder if a larger crypto treasury can stabilize sentiment. According to the Globe News Wire, the company stated that it added approximately $75M worth of ether this week, bringing its total holdings to nearly 859,853 ETH following a recent capital raise of $ 76.5M. The move marks a more profound shift toward an Ethereum-focused treasury strategy, positioning the firm among the most active corporate buyers of ETH in 2025. Can Ethereum Exposure Help SBET Recover From Its Sharp Decline? SharpLink disclosed it bought 19,271 ETH at an average price of $3,892, following a registered direct offering completed on Oct. 17. However, SBET is still below its short-term moving averages, maintaining the larger structure’s tilt towards the bearish side. The reduction in volumes indicates the caution on the part of investors after high selling in the previous quarter. Following the acquisition of Ethereum by SharpLink for $75M in ETH, market sentiment may now be influenced by the direction of Ethereum. Any break above $18 may attract a push to $30, and losing support at $14 may lead to a decline all the way to $10. It appears that traders are waiting for stronger signals from the overall crypto market before making new investments.

The Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI), an initiative of the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA), has announced its Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP) is the first supply chain due diligence scheme to be officially recognized by the European Commission for EU importers’ Conflict Minerals Regulation compliance. The Conflict Minerals Regulation (CMR) is designed to ensure the supply chain practices of EU importers and of smelters and refiners sourcing from conflict-affected and high-risk areas are transparent and responsible. The CMR is built on the concept of risk-based due diligence as described in the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk areas. The European Commission found the RMI’s RMAP standards and implementation to be fully aligned with the requirements of the CMR and OECD Guidance. While EU importers are ultimately responsible for their individual compliance with CMR due diligence obligations, a supply chain due diligence scheme that is recognized by the European Commission, such as the RMI’s RMAP, can help enable importers to comply with their obligations under the CMR. Those obligations include management system, risk management, third-party audit, and disclosure obligations. EU recognition of the RMI’s RMAP covers the RMAP Tin and Tantalum Standard, the RMAP Tungsten Standard, and the RMAP Gold Standard. The recognition only applies to the RMAP scheme and to smelters/refiners conformant with the RMAP standards, not to other schemes the RMI may cross-recognize. “RMI RMAP recognition supports the fundamental due diligence objectives in the CMR and OECD Guidance, expands the value of RMAP participation for smelters and refiners, and provides a practical compliance tool for EU importers,” RMI executive director Jennifer Peyser said in a news release. “The RMI valued the recognition process for its independent program review, and we commit to advancing CMR implementation and industry uptake of meaningful due diligence practices and reporting.” The European Commission is planning to create a “List of global responsible smelters and refiners” based on smelters and refiners covered by recognized supply chain due diligence schemes and information submitted by Member States as part of their annual report on the implementation of the CMR.

The 4-hour wave pattern for EUR/USD has changed — unfortunately, not for the better. It's still too early to conclude that the upward phase of the trend is over, but the latest decline in the euro has made it necessary to adjust the wave count. We now see a series of three-wave structures (a-b-c), which can be assumed to be part of the larger wave 4 within the broader uptrend. In this case, wave 4 has taken on an unnaturally extended form, but overall, the wave structure remains coherent. The upward trend continues to form, while the fundamental background still largely fails to support the U.S. dollar. The trade war launched by Donald Trump continues. The confrontation with the Federal Reserve continues as well. The market's dovish expectations regarding Fed rate cuts are increasing. Meanwhile, the U.S. government shutdown persists. The market remains unimpressed with the results of Trump's first nine months in office, despite the fact that economic growth reached nearly 4% in the second quarter. In my view, the formation of the upward section of the trend is not yet complete, with potential targets extending as high as the 1.25 level. Based on this, the euro may continue to decline for a while longer — even without any fundamental justification (as has been the case over the past three weeks) — while the wave structure will still maintain its overall integrity. The EUR/USD rate fell by 30 basis points on Tuesday morning, once again raising some questions. Let me remind you that there are still plenty of reasons to expect growth in this pair. First, the wave pattern suggests the formation of a new upward sequence following another three-wave corrective structure. Second, the upcoming Federal Reserve meeting, where the FOMC is almost certain to cut interest rates, supports this outlook. Third, the ongoing U.S. government shutdown, which shows no signs of ending anytime soon. Fourth, the continued trade tensions between the U.S. and China. And fifth, the protests and rallies against Donald Trump, which over the weekend spread across half of America. Although we have not yet seen the expected decline in the U.S. dollar, we also haven't observed any strong appreciation in recent months. The last trading peak of 2025 was recorded at 1.1917, while the current rate is hovering around the 1.16 area. Thus, from its 2025 high, the dollar has regained about 3 cents, having lost roughly 16–17 cents over the course of the year. From this, we can conclude that the market is in no hurry to buy or sell, but rather waiting for direction. General ConclusionsBased on the current EUR/USD analysis, I conclude that the pair is still building its upward trend segment. The wave structure remains highly dependent on the news background, particularly on Trump's policy decisions and the foreign and domestic agenda of the new U.S. administration. The targets of the current trend may extend up to the 1.25 level. At the moment, we are likely witnessing the formation of a corrective wave 4, which is nearing completion but has taken on a complex and extended shape. Therefore, in the near term, I continue to focus only on buy positions. By the end of the year, I expect the euro to rise toward 1.2245, corresponding to 200% on the Fibonacci scale. At a smaller scale, the entire upward section of the trend is clearly visible. The wave pattern is not perfectly standard, as the corrective waves vary in length — for example, the larger wave 2 is smaller than the inner wave 2 within wave 3. However, such cases are not uncommon. I remind traders that it's best to identify clear and simple structures on the chart rather than trying to label every single sub-wave. Currently, the upward structure looks almost flawless. Key Principles of My Analysis Wave structures should be simple and clear. Complex structures are difficult to trade and often lead to revisions.If you're uncertain about market conditions, it's better to stay out.There can never be 100% certainty about market direction.

The wave pattern for GBP/USD still indicates the formation of an upward wave pattern, although in recent weeks it has become complex and ambiguous. The pound has fallen too sharply, making the uptrend that began on August 1 look unclear. The first thought that comes to mind is a complication of the presumed wave 4, which may take a three-wave form, with each of its sub-waves also subdividing into three smaller waves. In this case, a decline toward the 1.31 and 1.30 levels could be expected. However, the downward wave pattern that began on September 17 has already taken the shape of a three-wave structure. From here, it could either evolve into a five-wave formation or transition into the start of a new upward wave sequence. In any case, I expect only growth in quotes, regardless of the wave structure. In my opinion, the fundamental background is now so one-sided that no other outcome seems likely. However, in recent weeks, buyers have shown no initiative. At the moment, much on the currency market depends on Donald Trump's policies. The market fears potential Fed policy easing due to labor market weakness and Trump's pressure on the central bank. At the same time, Trump continues to introduce new tariff packages, indicating the continuation of the global trade war. As a result, the news background remains unfavorable for the U.S. dollar. The GBP/USD rate declined slightly on Tuesday, but once again with extremely low volatility. Similar to EUR/USD, we observed another three-wave corrective structure, suggesting that the market may now be building a new upward sequence. Presumably, the first wave of this sequence has already formed, and the second wave is currently unfolding. Tomorrow morning, the U.K. inflation report will be released — data that could wake the market up. Economists expect the Consumer Price Index (CPI) to rise to 4%, confirming the overall trend of acceleration that the Bank of England (BoE) continues to downplay. It's worth recalling that some BoE policymakers believe inflation will neither increase further nor remain persistently high. However, the actual figures show quite a different picture. At the beginning of the year, BoE Governor Andrew Bailey warned of the possibility of faster price growth. As we can now see, Mr. Bailey was right. The question is — what to do with this level of inflation? Tomorrow's data could show inflation hitting 4%, which is twice the Bank of England's target. In my view, such a figure will prevent the BoE from launching another round of monetary easing before the end of this year. If this assumption proves correct, the market gains another strong reason to buy the pound, especially since next week the Federal Reserve is 99% likely to cut interest rates for the second consecutive time. General ConclusionsThe wave picture for GBP/USD has evolved. We are still dealing with an upward impulsive segment of the trend, but its internal wave structure is becoming more complex. Wave 4 is taking on a three-wave form, and its structure is much longer than that of wave 2. The latest three-wave decline appears to be complete. If that is indeed the case, then the pair's upward movement within the global wave structure could continue, with initial targets near 1.38 and 1.40. The larger-scale wave pattern looks almost perfect, even though wave 4 slightly exceeded the top of wave 1. However, let's remember that perfect wave structures exist only in textbooks—in practice, things are far more complex. At the moment, I see no reason to consider alternative scenarios to the bullish segment of the trend. Key Principles of My Analysis Wave structures should be simple and clear. Complex patterns are difficult to trade and often lead to changes.If you are uncertain about market behavior, it's better to stay out.There can never be 100% certainty about the direction of movement. Always use Stop Loss orders for protection.Wave analysis can and should be combined with other forms of analysis and trading strategies.The material has been provided by InstaForex Company - www.instaforex.com

Most Read: Tesla (TSLA) Q3 2025 Earnings Preview: Why Record Deliveries Still Mean a Profit Margin Squeeze Gold prices saw a sharp decline on Tuesday, on track for their steepest daily drop in five years, as investors sold the precious metal. A stronger US dollar and the decision by traders to take profits caused the price to fall significantly. This was compounded by US President Trump who softened his stance regarding a deal with China, reassuring the public that everything would "be fine" and that the US wanted to "help China, not hurt it." This slight shift in tone offered some relief to nervous markets and weighed on safe haven appeal. Prices scaled an all-time peak of $4,381.21 on Monday with dips being bought aggressively over the past week. We have seen some volatile pullbacks in that timeframe whenever a fresh high has been printed which could have been a sign of some nerves given the precious metals impressive rally in 2025. Some of the hesitation and the pullback today may be attributed to profit taking coupled with optimism around a US-China deal. There is also a possibility that market participants may want to unwind some positions ahead of the US inflation data release on Friday. Analysts at Citi said in a note they expect an end to the ongoing U.S. government shutdown, as well as US-China trade deal announcements, which could further lead to improved sentiment and potentially weigh on Gold prices. Technical Analysis - Gold (XAU/USD) From a technical standpoint, Gold did print a double top this morning on the four-hour timeframe with a break below the neckline occurring as well. Now looking at the potential target prices based on the rules of a double top pattern and the price would be around the $4020/oz mark. This suggests that Gold's fall may not be over and further downside could materialize in the days ahead. We could get two scenarios for Gold prices next move. The first one could be a move higher after today's fall which could retest the neckline break around the $4220/oz mark. Now a rejection at this level could be the start of the next leg to the downside which could see price reach the pattern completion around the $4020 mark. The second scenario may see Gold bulls fail to push prices higher and thus we could see prices continue to decline immediately toward the $4020/oz target without any pullback. At this stage both scenarios remain viable and price action on the one-hour and 15-minute charts may be monitored for clues. Gold (XAU/USD) Daily Chart, October 21, 2025 zoom_out_map Source: TradingView (click to enlarge) Client Sentiment Data - XAU/USD Looking at OANDA client sentiment data and market participants are Long on Gold with 76% of traders net-long. I prefer to take a contrarian view toward crowd sentiment and thus the fact that the majority of traders are net-long suggests that Gold prices could continue to slide in the near-term.

Binance Coin (BNB) has fallen sharply this week, sliding 5% in the past 24 hours and over 12% in the last seven days, as new scam alerts and a high-profile memecoin rug pull shake confidence in the BNB Chain ecosystem. The token currently trades around $1,060, marking its lowest level in nearly a month. The downturn comes as Binance co-founders Changpeng “CZ” Zhao and Yi He warn investors about a wave of phishing scams and fake memecoin airdrops spreading through social media. In one of the most damaging incidents, the official X (formerly Twitter) account of BNB Chain, followed by nearly four million users, was hijacked to promote a fraudulent token campaign linked to a fake airdrop. CZ and Yi He Sound the Alarm CZ took to X to issue a direct warning, “Official accounts do not endorse any particular memecoin.” He cautioned users against interacting with suspicious contract addresses or promotional posts, noting that scammers increasingly exploit verified profiles to appear legitimate. Yi He echoed these concerns, reminding traders that responsibility also lies with users. “Please, while everyone is doing on-chain investments, also take responsibility for your own actions,” she stated. The recent “Sir Pancake” scam, a fake token that generated $20 million in volume before collapsing, shows the scale of the problem. Data suggests that roughly 2.5% of new tokens launched on BNB Chain since 2022 have exhibited scam-like behavior, often disappearing within hours of launch. Meme-Coin Frenzy Tests Binance Coin (BNB) Investors BNB Chain has become a hub for meme coin speculation, but with enthusiasm comes risk. The latest wave of exploits shows that even platforms with strong security reputations remain vulnerable when hype outpaces due diligence. Tokens launched on the BNB Chain have produced massive gains, one trader converted $3,500 into nearly $7.9 million in just days. That frenzy has fueled ecosystem activity and attracted speculative capital, but it has also exposed Binance Coin (BNB) and its holders to heightened risk. Binance Coin (BNB) saw its bullish momentum reach new heights earlier this cycle, with some analysts projecting a run toward $1,500 and beyond. A recent forecast suggested BNB could hit up to $1,610.44 at its peak. BNB did indeed register a fresh all-time high above $1,200 in early October 2025. However, the euphoria has cooled as broader market conditions turned sour and infrastructure issues crept in. Binance Coin has slipped back toward $1,100 as the crypto market pulled back, and the BNB Chain faced multiple disruptions, including scam projects that have significantly exposed BNB investors.

In a market update on Oct. 10, technical analyst Nik Patel (@OstiumLabs) argued that Ethereum is approaching a make-or-break zone where the next few sessions could define whether the advance resumes or a deeper unwind unfolds. With spot ETH quoted around $4,000, Patel anchored his thesis to a tight cluster of reclaim and invalidation levels on both ETH/USD and ETH/BTC, emphasizing that lower-timeframe behavior must align with higher-timeframe structure to keep the bullish path open. Key Price Levels For Ethereum Now On the weekly ETH/USD chart, Patel said the market “wicked lower into the August open last week but held above the previous weekly low and trendline support,” resulting in an inside week that nevertheless closed “marginally below that major pivot.” The pivot is explicit: “We want to see this pivot at $4,093 reclaimed immediately and not flipped into resistance here on the lower timeframes, or else we could expect another flush of the lows towards that 2025 open.” If buyers do force the reclaim, Patel expects last week’s action to stand as a quarterly low: “If we do reclaim $4,093 here, which is what I expect, we should have our quarterly low now in and I would want to see $4,400 flipped into support for the move higher into all-time highs and beyond.” He framed the weekly invalidation at $3,700, warning that a close below would put the yearly open on watch as “last-stand support” for the bullish structure; failure there risks “a much bigger unwind back into $2,850.” Patel’s base case remained constructive: “acceptance back above $4,093 into next week and then a close above $4,400 for October, leading to new highs through $5,000 in early November and a very strong month for ETH.” The daily ETH/USD read connects that high-timeframe blueprint to momentum and market structure. Patel noted “momentum exhaustion into the lows” followed by a higher-low last week, a formation that now must be defended. He wants to see the sequence reassert itself with a drive above the mid-range and a subsequent higher-low above the weekly pivot: “we absolutely want to see this structure now protected and price to form a higher-high above the mid-range at $4,352 and then another higher-low above $4,093 before a breakout higher and a push towards fresh highs.” For confirmation of an impulsive leg, he flagged a trendline break, a flip of the ATH-anchored VWAP into support, and an RSI regime shift: “If we get a trendline breakout and price flips that ATH VWAP into support with daily RSI above 50, I’d expect a move into $4,950 very swiftly, followed by price discovery in November.” The daily invalidation mirrors the weekly logic: if $4,093 acts as resistance and the market pushes below $3,700—then closes beneath it—“we’re absolutely retesting the yearly open,” in his view. ETH Vs. BTC Against Bitcoin, Patel contends that the relative pair has likely printed its Q4 low. On the weekly ETH/BTC chart, price was rejected at trendline resistance, then retraced to the yearly open and held, closing “marginally green” while respecting trendline support off the 2025 lows. “It is my view that the Q4 low for the pair has formed here,” he wrote, adding that a retest and break above the descending boundary into early November would set the stage for a measured expansion: “acceptance above 0.0417 opens up the next leg higher into 0.055.” He placed weekly invalidation at 0.0319. The daily ETH/BTC map refines those signals into actionable levels. Price “marked out that low between 0.0319 and the yearly open before bouncing hard and reclaiming 0.036 as support.” Ideally, 0.036 now acts as a springboard; if not, Patel allows for a higher-low “above the 0.0319 level before continuation higher.” The tactical tell would be a flip of nearby supply: “If we can flip 0.0379 as reclaimed support here, that would be promising for the view that a trendline breakout is imminent, following which I would expect 0.0417 to be taken out and price to head higher, with minor resistance above that at 0.049 before 0.055.” He also identified a confluence band below: “We have a confluence of support between 0.0293 and 0.0319, so flipping that range into resistance would be very bearish ETH/BTC.” Taken together, Patel’s Oct. 10 blueprint hinges on three synchronizations: ETH/USD must swiftly reclaim and defend $4,093; $4,400 must convert from ceiling to floor to clear the runway toward prior highs and a potential $4,950 extension; and ETH/BTC should drive through 0.0379 and then 0.0417 to confirm relative-strength breadth beneath any dollar-denominated breakout. The downside is equally crisp: failure to reclaim $4,093, a weekly close below $3,700, and a subsequent loss of the yearly open would validate the risk that, in Patel’s words, Ethereum could “unwind back into $2,850.” At press time, ETH traded at $3,872.

Most Read: USD/CAD Price Outlook: Consolidation Above Key 1.4000 Handle. What Next for the Loonie? Tesla’s TSLA third-quarter 2025 financial results presents a challenging picture for market participants. On the one hand the company sold a record number of cars but it likely came at the expense of profit. What to Expect? Tesla achieved its highest-ever vehicle deliveries and energy sales in the third quarter. However, analysts expect that to show a drop in profit per share (EPS) of about 25% (from $0.72 last year down to around $0.53-$0.55 this year), despite a small increase in revenue (around 4% to 6%). This means sales grew through aggressively cutting prices, which hurt the company's profit quality. Looking at the earnings release, the stock's current price is very high and trades well above the average analyst price target of around $365. This means the stock's value may depend less on these actual car sales and profit numbers and much more on investor belief in the company's ambitious, long-term plans for AI, self-driving cars, and robotics. zoom_out_map Source: LSEG, TradingKey Q3 2025 Operational Performance: The Baseline and the Cliff Edge Vehicle Volume Tesla delivered a record 497,099 vehicles in the third quarter, which was more than it produced. This means the company used up its stored inventory to hit that number. This record was largely due to a short-term boost: many buyers rushed to finalize purchases before the $7,500 federal electric vehicle (EV) tax credit expired at the end of September. This created a temporary surge by pulling sales forward, which almost guarantees a noticeable slowdown in vehicle demand during the fourth quarter of 2025 and into 2026. Therefore, what management says about future sales targets is more important than the past record numbers. Energy Segment Strength The good news comes from Tesla's Energy segment, which acts as a stable counter-balance. This segment also hit a record, deploying 12.5 GWh of battery storage, driven by high demand from the booming AI industry and its need for power-hungry data centers. This growing, high-margin energy business is expected to slightly increase the company's overall profit margin, helping to lessen the negative effect of the price cuts in the car business. Financial Consensus and Sensitivity Analysis: The Margin Squeeze The most critical figure investors will scrutinize is the Automotive Gross Margin (excluding regulatory credits). Analysts expect the profit margin on cars (Automotive Gross Margin) to be around 16.5% to 17.0%, which is less than half of what it was at its peak in 2021. This shows that the record number of cars sold were achieved through aggressive price cuts. Furthermore, the small amount of high-profit revenue Tesla gets from selling regulatory credits to other automakers is expected to disappear completely, making strong core car profitability even more critical. If the margin falls below 16.5%, it suggests that the cost of making the cars is dangerously high. One of the main reasons Tesla’s stock price is so high is because market participants are betting heavily on its future in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotics, not its current car profits. Market participants need to see concrete, believable updates on the launch of Full Self-Driving (FSD) and the Robotaxi/Cybercab service. If management fails to give solid timelines for these AI initiatives, the stock's high price premium could quickly collapse, as market participants have already priced in a lot of success in this area. A major non-business risk is the controversial $1 trillion pay package proposed for CEO Elon Musk. Influential shareholder advisors have asked investors to reject the "astronomical" package. This is a problem because Musk has warned he might take key AI projects outside of Tesla if his ownership stake isn't increased. This creates a risk that the essential AI strategy, the primary reason the stock is valued so highly, could be compromised by a failure in corporate leadership. Potential Implications for the Tesla Share Price The Q3 2025 earnings report is expected to be a major catalyst, with options pricing implying high volatility: a potential stock move of around 7.44% to 8.53%. If the news is good: meaning profits (margins) are better than expected, or there are convincing updates on the Robotaxi plans, the stock price could jump and challenge its previous record high of $488. If the news is bad: meaning profits or the forecast for the next quarter are disappointing (especially due to the expired tax credit), the stock is likely to fall quickly. Given that the stock is currently trading about 17% higher than what most analysts think it's actually worth (the $365 consensus), any bad news could rapidly push the price down to that lower, more realistic value.

Hyperliquid (HYPE) has had a turbulent week as the broader altcoin market faces intense selling pressure. After weeks of steady growth, the token is now testing key support levels, with bulls struggling to regain control. Despite the ongoing correction across the crypto landscape, sentiment around Hyperliquid remains mixed — while traders brace for more downside, some optimistic analysts see potential for recovery in the coming weeks. According to fresh data from CryptoQuant, whales are going long on HYPE, signaling renewed confidence among large investors even as retail sentiment weakens. These whale moves often mark the early stages of a rebound, especially when they occur during heightened volatility. Analysts note that such positioning can indicate that smart money is preparing for a potential market reversal, or at least for a relief rally once selling pressure cools off. Still, the short-term outlook remains uncertain. With the market environment dominated by fear and liquidity thinning out, Hyperliquid’s price action in the coming days will be critical in determining whether it can hold its current support zone or if another leg down awaits. For now, all eyes are on whale behavior — and what it might be signaling next. Big Players Bet on a Hyperliquid Rebound Altcoin data analyst Kate Young Ju shared fresh insights into Hyperliquid’s futures market, revealing that the average order size has significantly increased, signaling that large investors — or “big players” — are positioning for a potential price surge. According to the data, institutional-scale orders have become more frequent over the past week, a clear indication that market participants with deep capital are starting to take calculated long positions despite the ongoing volatility. This comes after a remarkable year for Hyperliquid, which has rapidly emerged as one of the most innovative decentralized perpetual exchanges in the market. Built on its own high-performance Layer 1, Hyperliquid has attracted both traders and liquidity providers through features like zero gas fees, fast settlement, and native HYPE staking rewards. Since its early 2025 rally, the protocol has seen exponential growth in trading volumes and community engagement, solidifying its position among top DeFi derivatives platforms. The rise in futures order size reflects growing confidence that HYPE may recover from its recent drawdown. Historically, such activity often precedes a reversal, as whales and sophisticated traders tend to accumulate during market uncertainty. This accumulation phase suggests a potential shift in momentum — where smart money is preparing for the next leg up while retail sentiment remains cautious. If Hyperliquid’s price action stabilizes and macro conditions improve, this whale-driven accumulation could act as the foundation for a strong rebound phase. However, analysts warn that a lack of follow-through from retail traders or a broader crypto selloff could still dampen short-term momentum. For now, the data paints a compelling picture: big players are quietly betting that Hyperliquid’s story isn’t over — it might just be entering its next major chapter. HYPE Analysis: Testing Key Support After Weeks of Volatility Hyperliquid (HYPE) is currently trading around $35.6, down more than 6% on the day, as the token continues to face heavy selling pressure. The daily chart reveals that HYPE has entered a critical support zone near the 200-day moving average (red line), which sits around $34–$35. This level has acted as a strong base during previous corrections, particularly during April and July, when similar pullbacks led to renewed bullish momentum. However, price action has weakened notably after failing to reclaim the 50-day moving average (blue line) near $42, turning it into short-term resistance. The series of lower highs and sharp rejections from this zone highlight a market struggling to regain confidence. On a broader view, HYPE remains in an uptrend, but the structure is under pressure. If the token manages to consolidate above $35, it could attract buyers aiming for a rebound toward the $40–$42 area. Conversely, a breakdown below $34 could accelerate losses toward $28, the next significant support level. Featured image from ChatGPT, chart from TradingView.com

Today, the EUR/CAD pair fell below the key 1.6300 level and below the confluence of the 9- and 14-day EMAs, gradually shifting momentum in favor of the bears. Meanwhile, the Bank of Canada's quarterly business outlook surveys, published on Monday, confirmed market expectations of a possible rate cut later this month, putting pressure on the Canadian dollar. In addition, the decline in global oil prices continues to undermine the loonie, as the commodity-linked nature of Canada's currency contributes to its weakness—serving as one of the factors supporting EUR/CAD. However, today's positive Core CPI data from Canada managed to offset some of the euro's strength. On the other hand, the euro continues to show weakness after S&P Global Ratings downgraded France's credit rating from AA- to A+ due to growing fiscal risks. At the same time, the U.S. dollar's advance today has added further pressure on the euro, leaving the single currency doubly squeezed against the Canadian dollar.From a technical perspective, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart remains neutral. Prices have dropped below the confluence of the 9- and 14-day EMAs, finding support at 1.6280. Below this level, the next support lies at 1.6250, with a key downside level at 1.6166, below the psychological 1.6200 level. If bulls fail to defend this level, they will have no chance of recovery.

Trade Analysis and Advice on Trading the Japanese Yen The price test of 151.28 in the first half of the day occurred when the MACD indicator had just begun moving downward from the zero line, confirming a correct entry point for selling the dollar. However, the pair did not experience a significant decline afterward. The yen fell sharply against the dollar today, as rumors spread that the Bank of Japan sees no urgent need to raise its key interest rate, despite the economy moving closer to achieving its inflation target. During the U.S. trading session, there are no scheduled U.S. economic releases, so the main focus will be on the speech by FOMC member Christopher Waller. However, his remarks may not touch on the outlook for monetary policy, so the dollar is unlikely to face strong selling pressure. At the same time, market participants are paying close attention to U.S.–China trade relations, which appear to have stalled again. Any delays or uncertainties on this issue could trigger a small wave of yen buying, leading to a short-term correction in the pair after its sharp rise. As for intraday strategy, I will mainly rely on the implementation of scenarios #1 and #2. Buy Signal Scenario #1: Today, I plan to buy USD/JPY when the price reaches around 152.10 (green line on the chart), with a target of rising to 152.75 (the thicker green line). Around 152.75, I plan to exit buy positions and open sell positions in the opposite direction, expecting a 30–35 point pullback from that level. Further growth within the new uptrend is also possible.Important! Before buying, make sure that the MACD indicator is above the zero line and just beginning to rise from it. Scenario #2: I also plan to buy USD/JPY today in case of two consecutive tests of the 151.66 price level, at a time when the MACD indicator is in the oversold area. This will limit the pair's downward potential and trigger a reversal upward. Growth toward the opposite levels of 152.10 and 152.75 can then be expected. Sell Signal Scenario #1: I plan to sell USD/JPY today after a breakout below 151.66 (the red line on the chart), which should lead to a rapid decline in the pair. The key target for sellers will be 151.14, where I plan to exit short positions and immediately open buys in the opposite direction, expecting a 20–25 point rebound from that level. Strong downward pressure on the pair is unlikely today.Important! Before selling, make sure the MACD indicator is below the zero line and just beginning to decline from it. Scenario #2: I also plan to sell USD/JPY today in case of two consecutive tests of the 152.10 level, when the MACD indicator is in the overbought area. This will limit the pair's upward potential and trigger a reversal downward. A decline toward the opposite levels of 151.66 and 151.14 can then be expected. Chart Explanation Thin green line – entry price for buying the trading instrument.Thick green line – approximate price where you can set a Take Profit or manually close the position, as further growth above this level is unlikely.Thin red line – entry price for selling the trading instrument.Thick red line – approximate price where you can set a Take Profit or manually close the position, as further decline below this level is unlikely.MACD indicator – when entering the market, it's important to consider overbought and oversold zones.Important Notice for Beginners Beginner Forex traders should be very cautious when deciding to enter the market. Before major fundamental reports are released, it's best to stay out of the market to avoid sharp price fluctuations. If you decide to trade during news events, always use stop-loss orders to minimize potential losses. Without stop-losses, you can quickly lose your entire deposit, especially if you neglect money management and trade with large positions. And remember: to trade successfully, you must have a clear trading plan, like the one shown above. Making spontaneous trading decisions based on the current market situation is an inherently losing strategy for intraday traders.

Trade Analysis and Advice on Trading the British Pound The price test of 1.3393 occurred when the MACD indicator had just started moving upward from the zero line, confirming a correct entry point for buying the pound. However, the pair failed to show any notable growth afterward. The increase in the U.K. public sector debt burden triggered a weakening of the British pound. This negative trend creates an unfavorable backdrop for the government and signals potential problems that the British economy may face. Investors' concerns are linked not only to the current debt level but also to the prospects for its further increase. The U.K. government, faced with the need to finance social programs and stimulate economic growth, is forced to resort to borrowing. However, the lack of a clear strategy for reducing debt and maintaining financial stability raises questions about the country's ability to service its obligations in the long term. During the U.S. session, there are no scheduled statistics releases from the United States, so all attention will be focused on the speech by FOMC member Christopher Waller. Investors will be closely watching for any hints about possible changes in the Federal Reserve's policy strategy. The pound is likely to remain under pressure, as no new information is expected from Waller. Overall, the U.S. session promises to be calm. I recommend exercising caution and keeping an eye on news related to China and the United States. As for intraday strategy, I will mainly rely on the implementation of scenarios #1 and #2. Buy Signal Scenario #1: Today, I plan to buy the pound when the price reaches around 1.3398 (green line on the chart), with a target of rising to 1.3432 (the thicker green line). Around 1.3432, I plan to exit buy positions and open short positions in the opposite direction, expecting a 30–35 point movement back from that level. A strong rise in the pound is unlikely today.Important! Before buying, make sure the MACD indicator is above the zero line and just beginning to rise from it. Scenario #2: I also plan to buy the pound in case of two consecutive tests of the 1.3367 level, at a time when the MACD indicator is in the oversold area. This will limit the pair's downward potential and lead to a market reversal upward. You can then expect growth toward the opposite levels of 1.3398 and 1.3432. Sell Signal Scenario #1: I plan to sell the pound today after a breakout below 1.3367 (the red line on the chart), which should lead to a rapid decline in the pair. The key target for sellers will be 1.3340, where I plan to exit short positions and immediately open buys in the opposite direction, expecting a 20–25 point rebound from that level. The pound could see a sharp drop in the second half of the day.Important! Before selling, make sure the MACD indicator is below the zero line and just beginning to decline from it. Scenario #2: I also plan to sell the pound today in case of two consecutive tests of the 1.3398 price level, at a time when the MACD indicator is in the overbought area. This will limit the pair's upward potential and trigger a market reversal downward. A decline toward the opposite levels of 1.3367 and 1.3340 can then be expected.

Before the release of major fundamental reports, it's best to stay out of the market to avoid sudden price swings. If you decide to trade during news events, always set stop-loss orders to minimize losses. Without stop-losses, you can quickly lose your entire deposit, especially if you neglect money management and trade with large volumes. And remember: to trade successfully, you must have a clear trading plan, like the one presented above. Making spontaneous trading decisions based on the current market situation is an inherently losing strategy for intraday traders.

A recent post by XRP commentator Remi Relief on the social media platform X has looked into the possibility of XRP’s price reaching the $1,000 price level. XRP is currently trading well below even the double-digit mark. However, according to this crypto commentator, XRP can get to $1,000, and the world doesn’t need to wait until 2030 for this to happen. Vision Of XRP’s Global Purpose In his post, Remi Relief questioned the widespread belief that a $1,000 price target could only be achieved by XRP by 2030. The timeline for XRP to reach $1,000 is going to be far less than that, with the analyst noting that the global economy is moving too quickly for it to take that long. He described the altcoin’s rise as something far bigger than predictions, and this is because the cryptocurrency is set to play an important role in stabilizing the world’s financial system. Remi Relief’s outlook places XRP at the core of a growing realignment in the world’s financial system. “It’s going that high for the world’s sake,” he said. He contends that the cryptocurrency’s growth is tied to a global effort to rebalance debt and liquidity. Hence, the recent price crashes we’ve seen with XRP and other cryptocurrencies are a deliberate play by institutional players to accumulate more XRP while smaller investors capitulate. According to Remi Relief, these shakeouts are deliberate and designed to clear the market so that major entities can assume dominance before the price finally explodes. He also suggested that political resistance, particularly from the Democratic Party in the United States, could slow or suppress XRP’s ascent, as maintaining control over the traditional banking system aligns with their interests. If such resistance succeeds, the token might fall short of the $1,000 target but could still reach between $100 and $300 before stabilizing. Nonetheless, this is an acceptable outcome given the current XRP price levels. What Must Align For The Altcoin To Reach $1,000 Extraordinary developments in both market structure and adoption would be required in order for XRP to reach a four-digit price level. Predictions like these, as we’ve seen from many XRP enthusiasts, are dependent on whether the token gains widespread adoption in the world’s financial ecosystem. Institutional integration would have to expand to a scale where XRP becomes an indispensable liquidity bridge for global payments, central bank settlements, and large-value transfers. At the same time, demand from major financial institutions, including banks, fintech companies, and possibly even governments, would need to grow exponentially in order for this to be reflected in the XRP price. At the same time, a reduction in the liquid supply would be needed. This could happen through large-scale lockups, increased network utility, or widespread adoption in tokenized asset systems that reduce the circulating supply of XRP. In another post on the social media platform X, Remi Relief projected that the altcoin’s price could surge to $1,700 if it repeats its 2017/2018 performance. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.42.

Trade analysis and advice on trading the European currency The price test of 1.1619 occurred when the MACD indicator had already moved significantly below the zero mark, which limited the pair's downward potential. For this reason, I did not sell the euro. The second test of 1.1619 led to the implementation of buy scenario #2, since at that moment the MACD was already in the oversold area. However, the pair failed to show a strong upward movement afterward. The decline in the euro's exchange rate against the U.S. dollar is quite logical, given the lack of economic indicators supporting the euro recently. Against this backdrop, investors who are concerned about the region's economic prospects are favoring more stable assets, which currently include the dollar. Additional pressure on the euro also comes from forecasts regarding the future monetary policy of the European Central Bank. The second half of the day is notable only for a speech by FOMC member Christopher Waller, which reduces the likelihood of a significant rise in EUR/USD quotes. The market will focus on his comments about inflation and the future path of interest rates. A dovish tone could weaken the dollar, but since the outlook for rate cuts in the U.S. is already fairly clear, such remarks are unlikely to put substantial pressure on the dollar. As for intraday strategy, I'll mainly rely on implementing scenarios #1 and #2. Buy Signal Scenario #1: Today, it's possible to buy the euro when the price reaches around 1.1635 (the green line on the chart) with a target of rising to 1.1674. At 1.1674, I plan to exit the market and also sell the euro in the opposite direction, expecting a movement of 30–35 points from the entry point. You can count on euro growth today only if the Fed representatives' statements are dovish.Important! Before buying, make sure that the MACD indicator is above the zero line and just beginning to rise from it. Scenario #2: I also plan to buy the euro today in case of two consecutive tests of the 1.1606 price level, at the moment when the MACD indicator is in the oversold area. This will limit the pair's downward potential and trigger a market reversal upward. A rise to the opposite levels of 1.1635 and 1.1674 can then be expected. Sell Signal Scenario #1: I plan to sell the euro after reaching the 1.1606 level (the red line on the chart). The target will be 1.1573, where I plan to exit the market and immediately buy in the opposite direction, expecting a movement of 20–25 points back from that level. Pressure on the pair may increase significantly today.Important! Before selling, make sure that the MACD indicator is below the zero line and just beginning to decline from it. Scenario #2: I also plan to sell the euro today in case of two consecutive tests of the 1.1635 price level, at the moment when the MACD indicator is in the overbought area.

MANTRA and Inveniam have jointly raised the curtains on the brand new Inveniam Chain, during the Agentic Summit held in Abu Dhabi, UAE on 21 October 2025. Ok. But what is it exactly? Inveniam Chain specializes as a Layer-2 blockchain that manages and uses private real estate data, especially commercial properties, more efficiently. It is the first Layer-2 built on MANTRA Chain’s WA L1 blockchain and is designed to support global trading of commercial real estate (CRE) derivatives. A recent publication reports that this one move could potentially unlock new investments and bring in liquidity to a massive $27 trillion market in private CRE assets. John Patrick Mullin, CEO of MANTRA stated, “By combining MANTRA’s RWA-focused Layer 1 infrastructure with Inveniam’s deep expertise in private market data, Inveniam Chain has the potential to redefine how assets are tokenized, traded, and valued.” Chairman and CEO of Inveniam, Patrick O’Meara said, “Inveniam Chain will be fully connected to Al agents and DeFi ecosystems, acting as the metachain for every digital instrument, whether the asset sits natively on MANTRA (OM), or is traded digitally on Ripple (XRP), Avalanche (AVAX), Hedera (HBAR), ZK Sync (ZK), or Ethereum (ETH).” By offering a fully independent and real-time data solution, Inveniam Chain hopes to make it easier for investors, platforms and other institutions to work with CRE data. This is especially important because CRE is one of the most data-rich asset classes. But it is also hard to manage due to its siloed nature. EXPLORE: The 12+ Hottest Crypto Presales to Buy Right Now Beyond CRE: Tradable, Trackable And Transparent Private Assets Although Inveniam Chain primarily serves to bring CREs on the blockchain, it can help grow and support other types of private market assets as well. Meaning, it can help create a whole host of new investment products, make it easier to use assets as collateral and offer alternatives to raise money using real-world assets. Also, one of its key features is its ability to track important performance metrics and asset-level data in real time. With this, Inveniam Chain can support the development of digital financial products, trading platforms and exchanges in the future.

Congo’s export quotas have lit a fire under cobalt prices and spending on the battery material is up 43% year on year despite ongoing thrifting. A surge in supply from the Congo, responsible for 80% of the world’s cobalt output, coupled with cooling demand from the electric vehicle market, saw cobalt prices sink to historic lows at the start of 2025. Copper production in the DRC increased by nearly 40% last year, but last week Kinshasa began implementing a quota system to replace a ban announced in February Allowed base volumes of 87,000 tonnes per year is around half total exports registered in 2024. The price of cobalt sulphate entering the EV battery supply chain in China is now trading over 120% higher than at the start of the year averaging $7,775 a tonne in September (still nowhere near the 2022 peak of $19,000 per tonne). Tender cancelled Cobalt prices would likely remain elevated and could rise further under the quota scheme put in place for 2026 and 2027. That would have played a part in the US Dept of War cancelling a $500 million tender to stockpile the metal. The CEO of the world’s number one producer of cobalt, China’s CMOC Group, also warned last week that cobalt at these levels could lead to demand destruction and substitution, although that has been a long-running trend for cobalt users. Cobalt consumption in EV batteries overtook other sources of demand like aerospace several years ago and the downstream impact of the DRC strategy has been swift. The latest data from Toronto-based research consultants Adamas Intelligence tracking global EV battery metal deployment paired with monthly prices shows the size of the battery cobalt market in September totalled an estimated $227.7 million. That’s the highest value since December 2022, and up just shy of 111% year on year and 32% month on month. So far this year the value of installed cobalt tonnes in EV batteries total $1.1 billion, up 43% compared to the same period last year. The sales weighted average value of the cobalt contained in EV batteries has hit $73 per vehicle, up from less than $40 at the start of the year. Keeping in mind that the installed tonnage does not take into account any losses during processing, chemical conversion or battery production scrap (often well into double digit percentages), so required tonnes and revenues are meaningfully higher at the mine mouth. Thrifting The turnaround in fortunes comes despite years-long thrifting by EV battery manufacturers and the rise of LFP or lithium iron phosphate batteries. Models fitted with LFP batteries now make up more than 40% of global EV sales even when including conventional hybrids where nickel metal hydride power packs dominate. Excluding HEVs the number of EVs sold this year without nickel, cobalt or manganese rises to 55%. The top 10 includes only three Chinese brands, an indication of LFP’s grip on the world’s largest EV market by a country mile. The top automaker based on cobalt spending is Volkswagen at $150.5 million. Volkswagen, and its many brands including Audi, Skoda, Cupra and Porsche, is having a bumper year with full electric and plug-in hybrid sales up 45% year on year for the first eight months of 2025. That it tops the charts on cobalt spending is an indication of its heavy reliance on NCM (nickel-cobalt-manganese) battery chemistries compared to rivals. Number two Geely, which owns among others the Volvo and Polestar brands, spent $106.2 million over the first eight months of the year, a 19% jump, while Tesla’s spending increased by 31% year over year to $94.1 million. Tesla first introduced LFP batteries into its line-up in 2020 and now 44% of Tesla battery packs hitting roads for the first time this year sport this cathode. That helps explain why the automaker sits at number three for cobalt while consistently topping the charts for overall battery metal consumption. Lord of LFP Other notable spenders include BMW Group (up 47% to $61.6 million) and rival Mercedes-Benz at $49.7 million, a 37% jump compared to last year. LFP is absent from both the German luxury brands’ EV portfolio. NCM is still the preferred battery for higher end and sporty models, but LFP has been eating into NCM’s market share in these segments too with BMW introducing the technology in its upcoming Neue Klasse EVs scheduled to go on sale next year. Conspicuous by its absence is BYD, the world’s number one EV maker. The Shenzhen-based company switched to an all-LFP model line-up when it introduced its Blade battery packs in 2020, giving it an edge over rivals in the cutthroat market in China and its expanding tireprint in the rest of the world. With lithium prices also showing signs of life, BYD’s cost advantage will erode over the coming months.
