Copper prices rose to a near record on Monday as investors continue to assess the direction of US-China trade talks as well as Beijing’s outlook for the world’s top consumer. In London, the metal traded as high as $10,691.50 a tonne for a 1.5% intraday gain. Earlier this month, it had surged to a record $10,866.40 per tonne as global mine disruptions raised alarms over supply. On the Comex, copper futures jumped 1.6% to $5.0485 per lb., equivalent to $11,130 per tonne. Click on chart for live prices. The moves follow earlier comments from US President Donald Trump that he may impose tariffs on “many other things” should talks with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping not bear any fruit. The sides are due to meet later this month ahead of the Nov. 1 deadline. Separately, fresh data from China released on Monday painted a mixed picture of the economy, though the country’s National Bureau of Statistics said a full-year target of about 5% economic growth was still on track. The metals industry is coming out of what proved to be a relatively bullish gathering of merchants, producers and buyers at LME Week in London last week. Major global traders are enjoying their most profitable year ever, as a series of mine disruptions and supply dislocations drove prices toward record levels. (With files from Bloomberg)

Bitcoin is staging a modest rebound after several days of intense selling pressure and fear across the market. The leading cryptocurrency has struggled to establish stable support, with volatile swings making it difficult for traders to navigate. Despite the uncertainty, some market participants continue to move strategically — and one of the most well-known whales has just made a big return. The trader known as BitcoinOG (1011short) — who gained fame for earning over $197 million during last week’s flash crash — is back in action. On-chain data shows that he has deposited $30 million in USDC to Hyperliquid and opened a 10x short position on 700 BTC, worth roughly $75.5 million. This move has drawn the market’s attention, reigniting speculation about whether the whale anticipates another leg down for Bitcoin. While BTC is attempting to recover above the $110,000 mark, the presence of such a large short position highlights lingering bearish sentiment and a lack of conviction among traders. For now, bulls are fighting to stabilize price momentum, but with whales like 1011short back in the game, volatility is likely far from over — and the market may be in for another sharp move soon. Whale’s Short in Profit as Market Tension Rises According to Lookonchain, the whale known as BitcoinOG (1011short) currently holds an unrealized profit of about $880,000, or roughly 11%, on his latest $75.5 million short position opened on Hyperliquid. The trade, placed during Bitcoin’s rebound phase, has quickly gained traction as BTC struggles to sustain momentum above the $111,000 level. This move has sparked unease among investors and traders alike, many of whom view it as a potential warning sign that larger players may be positioning for renewed downside pressure. Still, analysts warn that this might not tell the full story. While the 1011short address has earned a reputation for precision — notably pocketing $197 million during the October 10 flash crash — the transparency of on-chain data has limits. It’s unclear how many positions this whale currently holds across other exchanges or what the exact strategy behind his trades may be. As such, reading his moves as a simple bearish bet could be an oversimplification. The next few days will be critical for Bitcoin’s trajectory. If the whale decides to scale his short further, it could intensify selling pressure and drag BTC toward key support levels. Conversely, if he closes out the position or pivots to longs, it might suggest a short-term market bottom. Either way, the setup points to heightened volatility ahead, with traders bracing for sharp price movements as the market digests this high-profile activity. Bitcoin Holds Weekly Support, but Resistance Looms Bitcoin is showing early signs of stabilization on the weekly chart, recovering from its October 10 flash crash low near $103,000 to trade around $111,200. The candle structure suggests that buyers are defending the 50-week moving average (blue line), which has acted as a reliable mid-cycle support throughout the current bull phase. However, the broader structure still shows Bitcoin consolidating below the $117,500 resistance — a level that has repeatedly capped rallies since mid-2025. Until BTC breaks above this zone with strong volume, the market remains trapped in a sideways range, with traders positioning cautiously amid high volatility and uncertain macro conditions. Momentum indicators point to neutral-to-bearish sentiment, reflecting hesitation among bulls after weeks of heavy liquidations. Yet, the presence of higher lows on the weekly chart continues to support the long-term bullish structure, as long as BTC holds above $106,000–$107,000. If price manages to reclaim and close above $117,500, the path could open toward $125,000–$130,000, aligning with liquidity pockets from previous tops. Conversely, a weekly close below $106,000 would shift the outlook bearish, suggesting deeper corrections ahead. Featured image from ChatGPT, chart from TradingView.com

More than three years after it was announced, Brazil’s Mining Policy Council has officially been installed, with a renewed focus on critical minerals and rare earths. The Brazilian government formally launched the National Mining Policy Council (Conselho Nacional de Política Mineral – CNPM) last week in a ceremony attended by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The council was originally established under Decree No. 11,108 of June 29, 2022, but remained inactive until now. It is composed of 18 federal ministers, chaired by Minister of Mines and Energy Alexandre Silveira, along with the CEO of the Brazilian Geological Service (CPRM). Representatives from states, municipalities, civil society, and academic institutions with expertise in mining are also members. At its first meeting, the CNPM set out to update Brazil’s outdated National Mining Plan 2030, originally conceived in 2011. The new version will guide national mining policy and is expected to be released for public consultation in the coming months. President Lula also requested an updated survey of Brazil’s mineral resources, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive and structured national mining policy, something the country currently lacks. One of the meeting’s central topics was the creation of a working group on critical and strategic minerals, aimed at proposing public policies to develop domestic supply chains and craft a national strategy for these resources. The plan includes renewed attention to rare earth elements. Brazil once ranked among the world’s top producers, with output reaching 2,200 metric tons of rare-earth oxide (REO) in 2016, but production has since plummeted to around 20 metric tons in 2024. The decline has been driven by China’s dominant production capacity and pricing influence. The CNPM has formed four specialized working groups to address key challenges facing the mining sector: Inspection Fees and Financial Charges, Critical and Strategic Minerals, Mining and Sustainable Development, and Oversight of Mining Activities. The final group will analyze inspection mechanisms and the role of the National Mining Agency (ANM).

Anthony Scaramucci is back in the spotlight as a judge on Killer Whales, the crypto world’s answer to Shark Tank. The CoinMarketCap and HELLO Labs reality series launched its second season on September 24, 2025, offering a $1.5M accelerator prize and streaming across X, YouTube, and major platforms. CoinMarketCap’s reality series “Killer Whales,” produced with HELLO Labs and anchored by Anthony Scaramucci, returned for Season 2 on Oct. 13, 2025, with founders pitching Web3 startups to a judging panel for a shot. New episodes are streaming on Prime Video and Apple TV. The show was filmed in Los Angeles, and it follows a well-established structure: startup teams present their crypto-related projects to a group of investors, or Whales, who select the projects to be funded and mentored. Why Are Meme Coins Like BRETT Dominating the 2025 Crypto Narrative? This season expands on the first, with a rotating cast of judges and a stronger focus on helping crypto ventures reach mainstream audiences. Producers say they’re looking beyond flashy presentations to evaluate real metrics, team strength, token structure, and long-term business plans. But early results show where the market’s attention really lies. In the premiere episode, the memecoin BRETT emerged as one of the winners, reflecting the wider mood of 2025’s retail-driven crypto scene. According to CoinGecko’s Q1 report, meme and AI-related projects now capture around 63% of investor interest, a shift that explains why humor and hype often beat out technical innovation on stage. The second season of Killer Whales highlights a new reality for crypto startups: storytelling, virality, and brand power might matter just as much as blockchain utility. Season 2 comes with a $1.5M package that includes an incubation fund, a $100,000 CoinMarketCap accelerator grant, and continued strategic support for standout projects. The new episodes are presented every week on various platforms, such as Hello TV, Apple TV, Amazon Prime, and Google Play. The criteria of the judging are based on the fundamental metrics such as monthly active users, revenue, and tokenomics, as well as the suitability of each project to the storyline of the show. DISCOVER: The 12+ Hottest Crypto Presales to Buy Right Now What Is Anthony Scaramucci’s Take on Meme Coins and Market Speculation? The case of BRETT being approved early during the premiere episode represents a trend: meme tokens are still doing better when compared to utility-based projects, particularly when the bullish cycle is taking place. Q3 CoinGecko announced the overall crypto market capitalization at 4 trillion, with the renewed risk appetite situation that is rather inclined to uplift high volatility meme resources. CoinMarketCap’s event page clarifies that Killer Whales provides mentorship and accelerator support to selected projects rather than direct equity funding. The format borrows from mainstream investment shows but adapts it for crypto, featuring themed episodes around NFTs, gaming, and security. Founders can submit applications publicly through the platform’s open pipeline. Audience response has been mixed. Some creators and critics have questioned the format and stakes, while online fan communities have highlighted viral moments like BRETT’s Cybertruck-themed pitch. The show’s producers, meanwhile, point to its massive reach “hundreds of millions” across platforms and its stated goal of making Web3 startups more understandable to everyday viewers.

Trade Analysis and Advice on Trading the Japanese Yen The price test at 150.74 in the first half of the day occurred when the MACD indicator had just started moving upward from the zero line, confirming a correct entry point for buying the dollar — but a significant rally never materialized. During the U.S. session, only the Leading Economic Index will be released, so we are unlikely to see any major shifts in the USD/JPY pair. Therefore, it's better to focus on new Trump statements regarding the resolution of the U.S.–China trade conflict. However, it's also important to remember that the Leading Economic Index is essentially a barometer of the U.S. economy. It aggregates data from various sectors, providing insight into future trends. While there may not be a direct correlation with USD/JPY, the index indirectly influences expectations regarding Federal Reserve policy. If the index indicates a slowdown in economic growth, the Fed may be more inclined toward lowering interest rates, which would weaken the dollar. Conversely, strong data could reinforce the Fed's position and support the U.S. currency. The index's influence may be short-term, but even small bursts of volatility can be of interest to traders and scalpers. As for the intraday strategy, I will mainly rely on Scenarios #1 and #2. Buy Signal Scenario #1: I plan to buy USD/JPY today when the price reaches the 150.97 entry point (green line on the chart), with a target of 151.45 (thicker green line on the chart). Around 151.45, I will close buy positions and open sales in the opposite direction (expecting a 30–35 point move back from that level). The pair's growth may be possible as part of an upward correction.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 USD/JPY today in the event of two consecutive tests of the 150.56 level, at a time when the MACD indicator is in the oversold zone. This will limit the pair's downward potential and lead to an upward reversal. Growth toward the opposite levels of 150.97 and 151.45 can be expected. Sell Signal Scenario #1: I plan to sell USD/JPY today after the price breaks below 150.56 (red line on the chart), which should lead to a quick decline in the pair. The key target for sellers will be 150.02, where I will exit short positions and immediately open buys in the opposite direction (expecting a 20–25 point rebound from that level). Downward pressure on the pair may return if U.S. statistics come out weak.Important! Before selling, make sure the MACD indicator is below the zero line and just beginning to move downward from it. Scenario #2: I also plan to sell USD/JPY today in the event of two consecutive tests of the 150.97 price level, at a time when the MACD indicator is in the overbought zone. This will limit the pair's upward potential and lead to a downward reversal. A decline toward the opposite levels of 150.56 and 150.02 can 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 choose to trade during news releases, always set stop-loss orders to minimize losses. Without stop-losses, you can quickly lose your entire deposit, especially if you don't use money management and trade with large volumes.

Trade Analysis and Advice on Trading the British Pound The price test at 1.3416 occurred when the MACD indicator had already moved significantly below the zero mark, which limited the pair's downward potential. The second test of this price coincided with the moment when the MACD indicator was in the oversold zone, allowing Scenario #2 (buy) to play out, resulting in a 20-point rise. During the U.S. session, only the Leading Economic Index will be released, so we are unlikely to see any major changes in the balance of power in the GBP/USD pair. Nevertheless, it would be unwise to underestimate the impact of this macroeconomic release. The Leading Economic Index itself is a complex, aggregated measure that reflects a comprehensive picture of U.S. economic activity. It consolidates data from various sectors — from the labor market to construction and consumer sentiment. A careful analysis of the index's components can provide valuable insight into potential shifts in Federal Reserve economic policy. However, major movements in GBP/USD are unlikely, as traders remain focused on developments surrounding the U.S.–China trade dispute. As for the intraday strategy, I will mainly rely on Scenarios #1 and #2. Buy Signal Scenario #1: I plan to buy the pound today when the price reaches the 1.3421 entry point (green line on the chart), targeting 1.3453 (thicker green line on the chart). Around 1.3453, I will close buy positions and open sales in the opposite direction (expecting a 30–35 point move back from that level). A strong rise in the pound today is unlikely.Important! Before buying, make sure the MACD indicator is above the zero mark and just beginning to rise from it. Scenario #2: I also plan to buy the pound today in the event of two consecutive tests of the 1.3400 price level, at a time when the MACD indicator is in the oversold zone. This will limit the pair's downward potential and lead to an upward market reversal. Growth toward the opposite levels of 1.3421 and 1.3453 can be expected. Sell Signal Scenario #1: I plan to sell the pound today after the price breaks below 1.3400 (red line on the chart), which should lead to a quick decline in the pair. The key target for sellers will be 1.3371, where I will exit short positions and immediately open buys in the opposite direction (expecting a 20–25 point rebound from that level).

What to Know: There is a large concentration of liquidity above the current $BTC price, suggesting a short squeeze could be in the making. The “Coinbase premium” for Bitcoin (the premium or differential of Bitcoin’s price on the U.S. exchange Coinbase relative to global exchanges) is rising – signifying stronger U.S. institutional and retail demand. A $BTC short squeeze could make Bitcoin Hyper the best crypto to buy with its Layer 2 upgrade. With Bitcoin (BTC) hovering around $110K, a perfect storm of technical signals and macro tailwinds is building — potentially priming the world’s largest cryptocurrency for a powerful upward breakout. A significant short squeeze could be underway – and a key inflation reading from the United States this week could serve as the spark. Will both factors combine to send Bitcoin surging, and make the Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) Layer 2 the best crypto to buy now? What’s a Short Squeeze? Why Should Crypto Investors Care? A ‘short squeeze’ happens when a large number of market participants have bet on a price decline. If price instead rises, these traders may be forced to buy back their positions, adding further upward pressure. Fresh data from Coinglass reveals a heavy cluster of liquidity sitting above Bitcoin’s current price. With stop-losses and orders stacked at higher levels, the setup points to an upward move as the market hunts for that liquidity. Markets naturally gravitate toward areas with stacked liquidity. When heavy short positions sit above the price and momentum pushes higher, forced liquidations can trigger a cascade of buy orders — the textbook recipe for a rapid short squeeze. Institutional Accumulation: The Coinbase Premium Tells a Story Retail traders still matter, but one of the defining shifts in Bitcoin’s 2025 market has been the surge in institutional participation. A key gauge is the “Coinbase Premium” — the price gap between Bitcoin on U.S.-based Coinbase and other global exchanges — often used as a proxy for institutional demand. A climbing U.S. premium is a classic sign of growing demand from institutions and large investors. In recent weeks, that premium has spiked — pointing to steady accumulation beneath the surface. This hidden bid could provide a solid price floor for Bitcoin and potentially ignite the next leg higher. And there’s some demand for Bitcoin that never changes; Michael Saylor just announced Strategy’s latest $BTC acquisition. The Macro Wild Card: U.S. CPI Release Amid Government Shutdown The U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) drops this Friday, even as the government shutdown drags on. A softer inflation print could strengthen the case for a dovish Fed, raising confidence in more rate cuts or at least a pause. But if inflation surprises higher, markets may quickly price in tighter policy — a potential headwind for risk assets. Traders are already betting big: futures markets show a 98% chance of at least a 25-basis-point cut in the near term. That makes this CPI release a critical catalyst, with the power to spark Bitcoin’s next breakout move. And when Bitcoin moves, keep an eye on Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) — momentum there often follows fast. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) – Critical Bitcoin Layer 2 Upgrade Sets Up Bitcoin’s Continued Growth Blockchain Layer 2 solutions – like Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) – aren’t intended to take away from the base layer’s utility. Typically, they add to it in some way. In Bitcoin Hyper’s case, that means adding lightning-fast transaction speeds and low-cost transactions for wrapped $BTC on the Hyper Layer 2, solving two problems that have plagued Bitcoin in recent years. The Bitcoin Hyper solution works by incorporating a Bitcoin Canonical Bridge on the Solana Virtual Machine, leveraging the SVM’s native speed and scalability. It’s a hybrid architecture that keeps final settlement on the native Bitcoin Layer 1, preserving Bitcoin’s stability and security. With Hyper, $BTC microtransactions are finally feasible, opening the door for Bitcoin to be used as more than just a store of value. Learn how to buy $HYPER and see why our price prediction shows the token could reach $0.08625 by 2026, setting up 556% gains from its current $0.013145. If the setup plays out, a successful short squeeze could propel Bitcoin higher, especially if driven by both institutional demand and a favorable macro shock. That would certainly boost $HYPER as well, setting it up for success in the next year. Do your own research, as always. This isn’t financial advice.

Despite gold’s record-breaking rally and widespread optimism about its outlook, one legendary bond investor has issued a warning for those seeking to own the metal amid concerns over US regional banks. In a post on X last Friday, PIMCO co-founder Bill Gross wrote that gold has become a “momentum/meme” asset. “If you want to own it, wait awhile,” he added, even if gold’s safe-haven appeal has never been stronger. Surging debt levels across major developed economies have shaken confidence in global currencies, in particular traditional safe havens like the US dollar. This has spurred a “debasement trade,” where investors flock to assets such as gold as opposed to depreciating fiat currencies to preserve their wealth. Gold has responded with a spectacular rally, climbing more than 60% this year and setting record highs nearly 50 times. Trading at approximately $4,350 per ounce, the metal has essentially doubled since the beginning of last year. Market veteran Ed Yardeni recently said that, at the current pace, gold could skyrocket to $10,000 per ounce by the end of the decade. Yields higher However, Gross believes that gold’s rally may have overextended, as yields should be shooting higher given the fresh debt the US government must issue to cover budget shortfalls. This, in turn, could cap gold’s appeal based on historic performances. According to Gross, the 10-year Treasury yield “has no business below 4%” and should be around 4.5% — with the US facing too much supply/deficits despite a “slowing, soon-to-be 1% growth economy.” One factor behind the yield movement, says the now-retired fund manager, is the pressure facing US regional banks after some of them had flagged bad loan and fraud issues. These banks, which Gross referred to as “cockroaches”, may continue to affect stocks and bonds, but the recent yield drop below 4% was overblown, he said. Some analysts do not regard these issues at regional lenders as becoming a systemic problem in the US banking system. Those at Deutsche Bank and Jefferies, for example, characterized the loan loss issues, including those at Zions Bancorp and Western Alliance, as specific and unconnected events.

A rare confluence of macro catalysts will put risk assets—and by extension crypto—on edge this Friday. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has confirmed it will publish the delayed September Consumer Price Index at 8:30 a.m. ET on Friday, October 24, even as most federal data remain frozen by the ongoing government shutdown. In a short notice, the agency underscored the exceptionality of the move and added that “no other releases will be rescheduled or produced until the resumption of regular government services.” Crypto Bulls On Alert The timing is unusual on two counts. First, CPI is rarely a Friday print; The Kobeissi Letter noted via X that it would be the first Friday CPI since January 2018. Second, it lands five days before the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meets on October 28–29, compressing the policy-reaction window for the only marquee data. As Adam Kobeissi framed it: “Something unusual is happening this week: On Friday, we are receiving CPI inflation data DURING the US government shutdown… Not only is it 5 days before the October 29th Fed meeting, but it is the first time CPI data will be reported on a Friday since January 2018.” Against that backdrop, crypto strategist Nik Patel captured prevailing risk-tone logic in a morning note via X: with scarce data in a “speech-heavy” week, any print that leans above survey “will be of significance.” He argued: “Would even expect a moderately above consensus inflation print to be welcomed by the markets — I would like to see inflation breakevens bottom out here and turn higher again (and make no mistake the Fed will still be cutting into this and this combination would be bullish risk). Growth, Inflation continues to be what I expect of the next 6 months but right now we’re chewing through a period of fears around both.” The Macro Backdrop To understand why this particular CPI matters for crypto assets, consider the near-term inflation trend and the state of the Fed debate. Headline CPI rose 0.4% month-over-month in August after 0.2% in July; the year-over-year rate accelerated to 2.9% from 2.7%. Core CPI held at 3.1% YoY. Back-to-back prints earlier in the summer had suggested headline inflation was stabilizing in the high-2s: June CPI ran at 2.7% year-over-year with a 0.3% monthly gain, and July matched 2.7% YoY while core posted its largest monthly increase since January. The August re-acceleration nudged debate away from a straight-line disinflation narrative and toward a more nuanced view—one sensitive to tariffs. Related Reading: Crypto Bulls Smell Blood: SOFR–RRP Spread Hints QT Pivot By October The Fed preview is therefore unusually binary—even if the meeting dates themselves are conventional. The central bank’s October 28–29 gathering is live, with rates markets leaning toward another quarter-point cut, followed by a more contested December. But the data blackout has amplified CPI’s leverage over the policy narrative, which is why a single release can swing the perceived odds of both the October move’s size and the guidance for year-end. All of this collides with crypto’s macro-beta reality. When liquidity expectations improve—via easier financial conditions and falling real yields—large-cap tokens typically outperform; when policy turns cautious, crypto’s duration-like characteristics can cut the other way. That’s why the market is latched onto the shutdown-Friday CPI quirk. The bottom line for crypto participants is straightforward. Friday’s CPI is not just “another inflation print.” It is a rare Friday release, arriving in a data drought five days before an FOMC decision, with PMIs and sentiment hitting hours later. If it cools meaningfully, easing expectations could firm into month-end. If it surprises hot and re-validates August’s firmness, markets may still attempt to spin it as growth-positive—as Nik Patel suggested—so long as the Fed signals it will keep cutting. Either way, by compressing signal and policy into a single news cycle, the shutdown has turned one morning into the fulcrum for October’s crypto narrative. At press time, the total crypto market cap stood at $3.71 trillion.

Trade Analysis and Advice on Trading the European Currency The price test at 1.1653 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 Producer Price Index (PPI) in Germany fell by 0.1%, which was worse than economists' forecasts, prompting a decline in the euro. This seemingly minor figure conceals a complex set of problems, signaling a slowdown in economic activity in Europe's largest economy. A drop in producer prices, though potentially beneficial for consumers in the short term, may indicate weaker demand and fewer production orders—heralding a period of economic stagnation. The euro's fall in response to this data reflects traders' concerns about the outlook for the German economy and, by extension, the broader European economy. In the second half of the day, attention will shift to the publication of the U.S. Leading Economic Index, though sharp market movements are not expected. Nevertheless, the details should not be ignored. The market reacts subtly to even the smallest changes, building complex strategies based on seemingly insignificant data. It's important to understand that the Leading Indicators Index is a composite of various metrics—from durable goods demand to consumer sentiment. Therefore, a superficial analysis of the final index value can lead to erroneous conclusions. If the data come out strong, pressure on the euro will likely persist. Also, the easing of trade tensions between the U.S. and China makes the dollar a more attractive asset. As for the intraday strategy, I will mainly rely on Scenarios #1 and #2. Buy Signal Scenario #1: Buy the euro today if the price reaches around 1.1664 (green line on the chart), with a target of 1.1696. At 1.1696, I plan to exit the market and also sell the euro in the opposite direction, aiming for a 30–35 point move from the entry point. Expect euro growth today only if U.S. data come out weak.Important! Before buying, make sure that the MACD indicator is above the zero line and just starting to rise from it. Scenario #2: I also plan to buy the euro if there are two consecutive tests of the 1.1645 price level at a moment when the MACD indicator is in the oversold zone. This will limit the pair's downward potential and lead to an upward reversal. Growth toward the opposite levels of 1.1664 and 1.1696 can be expected. Sell Signal Scenario #1: I plan to sell the euro after the price reaches 1.1645 (red line on the chart). The target will be 1.1618, where I intend to exit the market and buy in the opposite direction (expecting a 20–25 point move from that level). Downward pressure on the pair may increase significantly today, as trade risks have eased considerably, restoring demand for the dollar. Important! Before selling, make sure that the MACD indicator is below the zero line and just starting to move downward from it. Scenario #2: I also plan to sell the euro if there are two consecutive tests of the 1.1664 price level, at a time when the MACD indicator is in the overbought zone. This will limit the pair's upward potential and lead to a downward reversal. A decline toward the opposite levels of 1.1645 and 1.1618 can be expected. Chart Explanation Thin green line – entry price where buying the instrument is possibleThick green line – estimated price where Take Profit can be set, or profits can be taken manually, since further growth above this level is unlikelyThin red line – entry price where selling the instrument is possibleThick red line – estimated price where Take Profit can be set, or profits can be taken manually, since further decline below this level is unlikelyMACD indicator – when entering the market, it is important to consider the overbought and oversold zones.Important Note Beginner Forex traders should be extremely cautious when making market entry decisions.

This reporting period is widely regarded as a key marker in the company’s strategic shift from a volume-based (subscriber count) growth model to a profitability-based model driven by Average Revenue Per Member (ARM) acceleration. Market participants attention has fundamentally transitioned away from the headline subscriber figures which Netflix is ceasing to report quarterly in 2025 toward metrics detailing the efficiency of monetization efforts. What to Expect? Market experts believe that Netflix will meet or slightly beat its own financial goals, showing it is running its business very well. Revenue: The company expects to bring in $11.526 billion in revenue, which would be about 17% more than last year. Profit (EPS): Netflix's official forecast for profit per share ($6.87) is slightly lower than what analysts expect (who predict between $6.89 and $6.97). However, even the company's own target represents a very strong 27.6% jump in profit compared to last year. The expectation of such strong EPS growth is predicated on improved operating leverage. Consensus predicts the operating margin will climb to 31.5% in Q3 , fueled by high-margin revenue streams. zoom_out_map Source: LSEG, TradingKey Key Focus Areas: Monetization Over Membership The primary narrative for Q3 2025 centers on the effectiveness of three core catalysts that accelerate ARM: paid sharing conversion, the expansion of the advertising tier, and selective price increases. The success of these initiatives establishes a durable competitive advantage, as they generate revenue at very high incremental margins. The Paid Sharing Dividend and Ad-Tier GrowthThe crackdown on password sharing proved super successful, therefore it’s become a funnel that boosts paid‑sharing dividend and lifts ad‑tier growth. Since it began, Netflix added roughly 50 million new users: way beyond its own forecasts. Therefore, many price‑sensitive former password sharers opted for the Ad‑Tier service. How do Netflix do it? Turn the no‑pay users into paying ones, that brings the numbers needed to grow the ad business. By 2025, ad tier revenue's expected to double; therefore full‑year outlook hits about $1.1 billion. The expansion of the in-house ad-tech platform earlier in 2025 is vital, as internal management of advertising inventory and capabilities enables greater price realization (CPM) and better control over targeting, maximizing the incremental margins derived from this new revenue source. Therefore investors must keep tabs on profit within the well‑established market. It’s a market that covers both the US and Canada, which they call UCAN. Since price hikes began and paid sharing kicked in early this year, UCAN revenue must report a 15 % rise to definitively confirm the efficacy of Netflix's pricing power and monetization strategy in its highest-value region. Content and Margin Volatility Although financial results (like revenue) look good, the key to Netflix's future success lies in its content and how it manages costs. The third quarter was packed with huge hits, like "Squid Game" Season 3 and the strategically released "Wednesday" Season 2, which are crucial for keeping subscribers. The move into live events, such as big boxing matches, is also key to attracting advertisers with content that viewers cannot skip. However, funding all this major new content in the second half of 2025 creates a financial risk. Management has warned that operating margins (profitability) will be lower in the second half of the year because of high spending on content and advertising. Therefore, market participants will be focused intensely on Netflix's forecast for the next quarter (Q4 2025), specifically looking at how the company discusses the timing of those costs, as this could cause the stock price to become volatile, even if the Q3 profits look strong. Potential Implications for Netflix Share Price For Netflix, the stock is currently valued so high that its earnings report has to be perfect to avoid a selloff. The company's stock is trading at a very expensive level (a P/E ratio of 47.2x), meaning investors have already priced in the expected strong profit growth (over 31% this year). The major risk is that analysts disagree sharply: some are very optimistic, but others warn the price is far too high (as low as $750 per share) unless the company can deliver unbelievably fast sales growth. To go up (Upside Rally): Netflix must do two things: beat the profit forecast (above $6.97 per share) and, more importantly, give a highly convincing forecast for the next quarter (Q4) that removes the worries about lower profit margins in the second half of the year. Showing a clear, fast path to reaching its long-term ad revenue goal is also critical. To go down (Downside Correction): Because the stock is priced for perfection, even a small profit beat, if paired with a vague or cautious forecast about future margins, will likely cause investors to sell their shares and take profits. Investors are focused entirely on getting qualitative assurance about the company’s implied profitability for 2026. In short, even though the company has strong momentum from its new strategies (paid sharing and the ad tier), many new investors are holding back because the stock is too expensive and the risk of failure is too high.

Canadian miner Iamgold (TSX: IMG; NYSE: IAG) announced a pair of acquisitions that would more than triple its footprint in northern Quebec’s Chibougamau region. Iamgold agreed to buy Northern Superior Resources (TSXV: SUP) for C$2.05 in cash and stock per Northern Superior share in a transaction valued at about C$267.4 million, according to a statement issued Monday. The Toronto-based company also said it’s reached a C$17.2 million deal to acquire Mines D’Or Orbec (TSXV: BLUE) for C$0.125 a share. Both transactions would consolidate land ownership around Iamgold’s Nelligan and Monster Lake projects, which together hold 3.21 million indicated oz. gold and 5.65 million inferred ounces. The two properties sit close to Northern Superior’s Philibert, Chevrier and Croteau deposits, which Iamgold said “supports the conceptual vision” of a central processing facility being fed by multiple mining areas within a 17-km radius. “Consolidating the district, tripling the land position and adding more than 3 million oz. of resources should flag potential longer-term upside to investors,” RBC Capital Markets analyst Michael Siperco said Monday in a note to investors. Canadian focus News of the deals comes as Iamgold sharpens its focus on Canadian gold production. Together, Ontario’s Côté open-pit operation and Quebec’s Westwood underground mine account for 87% of the company’s mineral resources and 82% of net asset value. Nelligan “represents a key potential organic growth option” for Iamgold, Siperco added. “Substantive exploration at the district has only resumed in 2025, with strong potential for resource growth and attractive project economics at spot prices, or higher.” Combined, the Northern Superior and Iamgold assets near the town of Chibougamau would form one of Canada’s largest pre-production gold camps, with 3.75 million oz. gold of measured and indicated resources and 8.65 million oz. of inferred resources. Adding Northern Superior would more than double Iamgold’s landholding in the district to 1,090 sq. km with the addition of 706 sq. km of claims. Philibert is located 9 km northeast of Nelligan and 12 km southeast of Monster Lake. Nelligan is located 45 km southwest of Chibougamau, while Monster Lake is 15 km north of Nelligan. Organic pipeline “This acquisition aligns with our strategy to become a leading Canadian-focused mid-tier gold producer, bolstering our organic pipeline in Quebec where we have maintained a longstanding presence,” Iamgold CEO Renaud Adams said in the statement. “The combined assets begin to define a conceptual project that complements both the scale and timing of our Côté gold mine and its forthcoming expansion.” Also close to Nelligan and Monster Lake is Orbec’s Muus project, which would contribute about 250 sq. km of mineral rights. Muus sits at the intersection of the northeast trending Fancamp deformation zone, which hosts Monster Lake, and the East-West trending Guercheville deformation zone, which hosts Nelligan. “The Chibougamau region is quickly advancing to become one of the most exciting gold mining districts in Canada,” Adams added. Offer premium Iamgold’s offer calls for Orbec stockholders to receive C$0.0625 per share held and 0.003466 of an Iamgold common share. It represents a premium of about 25% to Orbec’s closing price Friday on the TSX Venture Exchange. Iamgold already owns 7.14 million Orbec shares, or 6.7% of the company’s shares outstanding. Northern Superior shareholders, meanwhile, would receive 0.0991 of an Iamgold common share and C$0.19 in cash for each common share held. This would represent a premium of 27% based on the 20-day volume-weighted average prices of Iamgold on the Toronto Stock Exchange and Northern Superior on the TSX Venture Exchange as of Friday. Shares of all three companies gained ground Monday morning. Iamgold rose 3.3% to C$19.37 in Toronto trading, boosting the company’s market value to about C$11.1 billion. Northern Superior soared 56% to C$2.21, while Orbec added 20% to C$0.12.

United States Antimony Corp. (NYSE-American: UAMY) is planning to acquire Australia’s Larvotto Resources (ASX: LRV), a move that it says would make the combined company one of the world’s largest antimony producers outside China. Under a non-binding proposal submitted earlier on Monday, US Antimony would acquire the 90% of Larvotto’s shares that it does not own by issuing six of its own shares for every 100 Larvotto share. The offer implies a value of A$1.40 per Larvotto share, valuing the Australian miner at about A$722 million ($470 million). Days prior to the offer, USAC had already purchased 10% of Larvotto’s shares in the open market with cash, making it the largest shareholder. In a press release issued on Monday, USAC chairman and CEO Gary Evans said the proposal to combine with Larvotto reflects the company’s “deep commitment to build a world-class industry player in the critical minerals space.” “We see this as a compelling opportunity for Larvotto shareholders to participate in the upside of a larger, more diversified group – one with financial strength, global reach and top-tier technical capabilities,” he added. USAC aims to develop a fully integrated antimony supply chain for Western economies and owns the only two smelters in North America with a long-standing capacity to process the critical mineral into various forms of commercial products. While its feedstock has come from third parties, the company recently began mining activities in Montana, a milestone it says would make it the world’s first mine-to-market antimony operation. Shares of USAC soared during overnight trading following its announcement and opened the Monday session 19% higher at $13.30 a share. By 10:30 a.m. ET, it has pulled back to around $11.36 for an intraday gain of 1.3%. The company has a market capitalization of roughly $1.6 billion. Australia’s largest antimony resource In a separate press release, Larvotto said its board will “carefully consider” the offer and provide shareholders with their advice in due course. Its shares closed the trading session 4% higher at A$1.29 apiece, with a market capitalization of A$666 million. The Australian miner is currently advancing the Hillgrove project in New South Wales, a development-stage gold project that also holds the largest antimony resource in the country. A definitive feasibility study published in May 2025 envisaged a combined open-pit and underground operation capable of producing as much as 102,000 oz. of gold-equivalent per year. Subject to a final investment decision, Larvotto said it aims to bring the Hillgrove project into production in 2026, by which point it would be Australia’s largest producer of antimony, accounting for 7% of global supply requirements.

(Source – Tradingview, BTCUSD) Starting with the Weekly timeframe, we can track how long it took Bitcoin to get from the lowest price point of $15,440 in 2022 to the highest in 2025 – $126,150 (last week). That is $110,710 of growth or 717% in 1050 days to be exact. A decent 7x if you are to ask old school conservative investors. From the technicals, Bitcoin’s RSI is showing a divergence, indicating weakness from buyers. Moving Averages have proven yet again as strong support and showing an unbroken uptrend. DISCOVER: Top Solana Meme Coins to Buy in 2025 (Source – Tradingview, BTCUSD) Next for our analysis is the Daily chart. We have the SFP preceded by a Bearish Engulfing candle and followed by a strong sell-off. This sent price underneath MA200 and led to a rejection from MA100 upon retest. The $110,000 support failed to hold and we are currently witnessing a retest of the broken uptrend support line. Diagonal lines aren’t really great, which is why we also have the $107,000-$110,000 orderblock that held price multiple times. Will that Weekly FVG get filled?

There was a potential for a Higher Low, though MA200 was ruthless by pushing price down to $103,000. The RSI entered the upper half of its range, though bulls want to see all MAs reclaimed and $110,000 to hold. At this point price is at resistance and could head back down to make a Lower Low.

Cleveland-Cliffs (NYSE: CLF) announced plans to enter the rare earth mining business after discovering two potential deposits in Michigan and Minnesota, which would allow the Ohio-based company to expand beyond iron ore and steel. The move, chief executive Lourenco Goncalves said, could strengthen the United States’ supply of critical minerals essential for electronics and clean energy technologies. Goncalves said the company is working with geologists to determine whether the deposits are commercially viable. “We are a mining company; this isn’t new territory for us,” he told analysts during the company’s earnings call on Monday. Cleveland-Cliffs’ shares surged 23% to $16.68 on Monday, the biggest gain since June, after the company also reported stronger-than-expected third-quarter earnings. The rally lifted its market value to about $8.2 billion. Strategic shift Goncalves said the new discoveries could “align Cleveland-Cliffs with the broader national strategy for critical material independence, similar to what we achieved in steel.” He added that American manufacturing “shouldn’t rely on China or any foreign nation for essential minerals,” emphasizing the company’s intent to contribute to domestic resource security. The company’s quarterly revenue rose from a year earlier, and adjusted earnings topped analysts’ forecasts, despite President Donald Trump’s tariffs on foreign steel, which have weighed on Cliffs’ Canadian operations. Cleveland-Cliffs also signed a memorandum of understanding with an undisclosed steel producer to leverage its “unmatched US footprint and trade-compliant operations”. It did not release further details. The US currently has only one commercial rare earth mine, owned by MP Materials (NYSE: MP). In July, the Defence Department took an equity stake in MP Materials and agreed to a price floor and an offtake deal. Investors have speculated that Washington may pursue similar arrangements with other domestic companies developing rare earth mines and processing plants.

Kodal Minerals (LON: KOD) has dispatched the first truckloads of lithium spodumene concentrate from its Bougouni mine in southern Mali to the port of San Pedro in Côte d’Ivoire, marking the start of its exports. The team at Bougouni mine, which began production in February, has sent 30,000 tonnes of spodumene concentrate from its stockpile for shipment to Hainan, China. The full 45,000-tonne stockpile will be gradually moved over the next four to six weeks to maintain supply at the San Pedro port for future exports. “This is a major milestone for the Bougouni project,” chief executive Bernard Aylward said. “With the first truckloads of spodumene concentrate departing site for export (…), the construction of the dense media separation plant and processing of ore from the Ngoualana openpit, we are now in a position to consistently manage the exporting of spodumene concentrate”. The company expects to generate its first revenue once loading of the initial 30,000-tonne shipment is complete, in line with its offtake agreement. Kodal plans to provide further updates as operations progress. Bougouni is located 170 km south of Mali’s capital, Bamako, in a region home to several active mines, including Hummingbird Resources’ Yanfolila gold mine and B2Gold’s Fekola operation.

XRP is trading at a critical juncture, struggling to hold support below the $2.5 mark after weeks of heavy selling pressure. Bulls are finding it increasingly difficult to regain control, and overall sentiment across the market remains weak following sharp declines in major altcoins. Yet, some analysts argue that this exhaustion phase could represent a local bottom — a setup that historically precedes strong rebounds in XRP’s price. According to data shared by CryptoQuant analyst CryptoOnchain, the XRP Ledger’s decentralized exchange (DEX) has shown a striking divergence between price and activity. Between October 8th and 17th, as XRP’s price plunged from around $3.0 to $2.3, DEX trading volume spiked to a multi-month high. This surge in activity, highlighted in the greyed-out region of the chart, signals that despite price weakness, on-chain engagement remains robust. This type of divergence often sparks debate among traders — it can either indicate capitulation, where sellers are finally giving up, or accumulation, where larger players quietly enter the market. With DEX activity heating up while price stagnates, the coming days could be decisive for XRP’s next move, as traders watch closely for signs of a potential reversal. Price-Volume Divergence Signals a Market Turning Point CryptoQuant analyst CryptoOnchain highlights that the recent divergence between XRP’s price and DEX volume can be interpreted in two opposite but crucial ways. The first is Capitulation and Selling Pressure, a bearish scenario where the surge in trading volume during a price decline reflects panic selling. In this case, the spike in activity represents a rush to exit — the capitulation of short-term holders and traders unwilling to hold through further losses. Historically, such events confirm strong bearish momentum as sellers dominate the market, often leading to temporary breakdowns before stabilization. On the other hand, the second possibility points to Accumulation by Smart Money. Here, the sharp increase in volume may not signal panic, but rather strategic positioning by large investors or whales taking advantage of discounted prices. While retail participants sell out of fear, long-term players could be absorbing supply, positioning for a potential recovery. This dynamic — the transfer of XRP from “weak hands” to “strong hands” — has historically preceded major reversals. Ultimately, this period underscores a fierce battle between buyers and sellers. Despite the drop in price, the presence of heavy buying interest suggests underlying strength. If demand continues to absorb selling pressure, XRP could be forming a foundation for its next bullish impulse. The $2.3–$2.5 zone now stands as a critical area to watch for signs of accumulation and a potential market rebound. XRP Attempts to Stabilize After Sharp Sell-Off XRP is showing early signs of stabilization after one of its sharpest corrections of the year. The chart shows that the token rebounded from lows near $2.3, a level that aligns closely with the 100-day moving average — now acting as short-term support. Despite the recovery to around $2.47, the structure remains fragile, with the 50-day moving average trending downward and the price still below the key $2.6–$2.7 resistance zone. This area previously served as strong support before being broken during the recent sell-off, suggesting that it could now act as a barrier for bullish continuation. The broader trend also highlights a significant increase in volatility, reflecting uncertainty among traders. The long lower wick on recent candles indicates that buyers are defending the $2.3 level, but without a clear volume expansion, a sustained reversal remains uncertain. If XRP holds above $2.3, a short-term consolidation phase could follow, potentially leading to a retest of $2.6. However, if selling pressure returns and price slips below $2.3, a deeper pullback toward the 200-day moving average near $1.8 cannot be ruled out. For now, XRP’s outlook depends on whether bulls can turn this temporary bounce into a confirmed recovery. Featured image from ChatGPT, chart from TradingView.com

Bitcoin is recovering rapidly after reaching the key low of 103,501, which coincided with a sharp drop from the October 10th low, forming a double bottom pattern. Bitcoin is now consolidating above the 3/8 Murray and above the 21 SMA, which suggests that it could continue to rise in the coming days to reach the 4/8 Murray at 112,500. BTC could even attempt to break the strong dynamic resistance of the 200 EMA around 114,120. If Bitcoin breaks and consolidates above $114,000, we could expect a strong recovery and the price could reach the 6/8 Murray around 118,750. On the other hand, if there is a technical correction below the psychological level of $110,000 in the coming hours, we expect the price to find strong support around either the 109,375 or 107,900 levels. This could be seen as an opportunity to enter long positions. The Eagle indicator is showing a positive signal, so any pullback in the Bitcoin price will be seen as an opportunity to continue buying.

Early in the American session, the euro is trading around 1.1655, below the 200 EMA, and below the 21 SMA under bearish pressure as the euro failed to consolidate above the 8/8 Murray level. It is likely that EUR/USD will continue to fall in the coming days to reach the 6/8 Murray level around 1.1474. If the instrument consolidates above 1.1680 in the coming hours, the outlook could be positive, and we could expect EUR/USD to reach 1.1750, an area where it left the gap in early October. On the other hand, if EUR/USD settles below 1.1650, we could expect a bearish acceleration, which could push the price down to 1.1596 and even the psychological level of 1.1500. The eagle indicator is showing overbought signals on the H4 chart. So, a technical correction is likely to follow in the coming days, hence we should be vigilant. Our trading plan for the next few hours will be to sell the euro while the instrument trades below 1.1750. Any rebound towards this area will be seen as a signal to open short positions.

Gold is trading around 4,293 with a strongly bullish bias. It is likely that the yellow metal will continue to rise in the coming hours to reach the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level around 4,310 and could even surpass this area and reach 4,330 or even 4,348. The eagle indicator is showing a positive signal, so any pullback in the price will be seen as a clear signal to buy, as the eagle indicator is showing bullish momentum. The instrument is now above the 21 SMA, which favored a strong bullish movement. If there is a pullback in the coming hours towards 4,280 or 4,265, the area where the 38.2% level is located, we can look for opportunities to enter long positions. The price of gold is expected to reach 8/8 Murray around 4,375 in the coming days. It could even surpass this level and reach the psychological level of $4,400. Once this level is surpassed, the instrument is likely to rise to reach 4,500 and even +1/8 Murray around 4,531. The material has been provided by InstaForex Company - www.instaforex.com

Global demand for copper is accelerating toward levels that could outstrip supply within two decades, creating what industry veteran Robert Friedland calls a once-in-history challenge for the world economy. Over the next 18 years, he warns, humanity will need to mine as much copper as it has over the past 10,000 years combined to sustain even modest economic growth. Friedland’s message, repeated over years of public appearances, has proven prescient. “This is the revenge of the old economy,” he said in 2021. “For two decades, not enough capital has gone into finding the metals we need for the energy transformation.” Copper, he argues, lies at the centre of both economic growth and national security. Used in everything from electric grids to military hardware, it has become the lifeblood of modern industry. As of October 2025, copper trades at over $5.00 per pound — roughly $11,000 per tonne — marking a 55% increase from just five years ago. The economics of scarcity Despite the rally, current prices remain far below what the industry needs to stimulate new production. Friedland predicts copper must reach $15,000 per tonne to justify the immense capital costs of building new mines. “Nine thousand dollars a ton is not enough to take the risk,” he said in late 2023. The gap between rising demand and limited supply poses an existential challenge. At today’s consumption rates, roughly 700 million metric tonnes of copper mined throughout history will need to be matched again by 2043 just to sustain 3% annual GDP growth. Strategic imperatives Copper’s importance extends far beyond economics. Friedland highlights its strategic role in national defense, pointing to US military concerns over shortages of 155-millimetre howitzer (type of artillery weapon) shells. “If somebody’s pointing a gun at you, you need that copper to shoot back,” he said earlier this year. That urgency is driving calls for a renaissance in US copper mining, an industry that has seen virtually no new development in generations. Dependence on foreign sources now threatens both supply stability and security. Policy and political shifts Friedland credits recent US administrations, particularly under current President Donald Trump, for recognizing the need to secure raw materials domestically. “Speaking as a miner, we see a lot more government support,” he noted. “The new administration is correctly focused on making sure the world’s largest economy has stable access to raw materials at the scale of that economy.” Click here to see live copper prices. As copper prices climb toward his long-term projections, investors and policymakers are watching closely. The metal that once symbolized industrial might is again at the heart of a global transformation. This time at the centre of one defined by scarcity, strategy and survival.

I know, I know, you are probably tired of hearing about AI since it is everywhere and now even taking over trading. But this one is actually interesting. Jay Azhang, a New York–based engineer, founded an AI research lab dedicated to the markets called Alpha Arena. It is basically the ultimate test to see how smart these billion-dollar AI models really are. Claude Sonnet, DeepSeek, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, and Qwen are all participants, and each model gets $10,000 of real capital on Hyperliquid with one goal, make as much money as possible through perpetuals trading. DISCOVER: 9+ Best Memecoin to Buy in 2025 Unsurprisingly, Deepseek Is Winning The Nof1.ai platform is tracking every open position from these chatbots in real time, and surprisingly, or maybe not, DeepSeek is leading the pack. Both Grok and DeepSeek went all in on long positions, and when the market rallied over the last 24 hours, it pushed them straight to the top. DeepSeek is getting close to $14,000, marking a 40% profit in just two days, which is quietly impressive. Maybe I would “trust” my funds with DeepSeek, not Gemini which is down 35% and clearly panicking. Gemini started the event as the bearish one, shorting everything, but it has now flipped and gone all-in on long positions. GPT-5 is starting to do the same, learning from Gemini the hard way that the crypto market might actually be the future. Grok is performing really well too. According to Jay, the contest founder, “it has better contextual awareness of market microstructure,” and the results prove it, as Grok has made profits in 100% of the last five rounds, including the testing phase, showing impressive consistency. Claude currently has the fewest open positions, and just like the app, it trades in a calm and steady way. Qwen, on the other hand, seems to be giving up according to Azhang, with only one open position left. So, Who To Trust My Money With? Well, no clear winner yet, but this whole experiment gives a glimpse of what the future of trading might look like. The contest will run for a few more weeks, and it will be interesting to see which AI stays consistent and actually keeps winning. The event is already turning into a big deal, even catching the attention of CZ from Binance. He commented, “There will probably be a lot of people researching AI for trading after this,” and he expects trading volumes to rise because of it. As for me, I’ll stick to trusting myself with my own money for now.

Crypto analyst Cantonese Cat has drawn attention to the current Dogecoin price action, making comparisons with the 36,000% rally recorded in the last cycle. Meanwhile, crypto analyst Ghost has also provided a bullish outlook for the meme coin, predicting it could still rally to $1. How The Current Dogecoin Price Action Differs From Last Cycle In an X post, Cantonese Cat highlighted some differences between the current Dogecoin price action and that from the last cycle, when it recorded a 36,000% rally. The analyst noted that the last cycle was an anomaly because DOGE punched through the ‘Superlchi’ cloud without ever back-testing it that cycle and just went on its massive run. Cantonese Cat then went on to mention that the Dogecoin price has punched through this Superlchi cloud in this cycle and claimed it from resistance to support. However, unlike in the previous cycle, DOGE has back-tested this level for more than half a year and has established it as good support. The analyst revealed that the most recent back-test happened this month, with a huge wick showing demand. Cantonese Cat explained that this is more consistent with what generally happens during a bull market and asserted that DOGE still has its bullish market structure. The analyst’s accompanying chart showed that $0.18 is the key level that DOGE needs to stay above to maintain this structure. Crypto analyst Ghost also indicated that the bull market structure was still intact for the Dogecoin price. This came as the analyst highlighted a ‘Parabolic Arc,’ which they noted is still intact and predicted that the target for DOGE in this cycle is the psychological $1 level. A Rebound For DOGE May Be On The Horizon Crypto analyst Ali Martinez stated that the Dogecoin price wants to rebound and that the key targets are $0.29, $0.45, and $0.86. This follows DOGE’s recent crash below the $0.2 level amid the broader crypto market decline. This has occurred due to rising trade tensions between the U.S. and China with the Trump tariffs. Meanwhile, crypto analyst Trader Tardigrade stated that a double bottom is on the way for the Dogecoin price. He added that a catalyst is needed to ignite this next move up for DOGE. A potential catalyst could be the imminent rate cut, with the Fed expected to lower rates at next week’s FOMC meeting. Trump is also set to meet China’s President Xi Jinping, which could ease trade tensions and potentially lead to a trade deal between the two countries. At the time of writing, the Dogecoin price is trading at around $0.2, up over 5% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

It has been a rough year for Helium crypto. Much was expected after the explosion late last year. For a brief moment, HNT USDT spiked to nearly $10 before collapsing. Since then, bears have had the upper hand despite the team’s efforts to prop up prices and improve sentiment. Falling crypto prices, especially some of the best coins to buy, like Solana and Cardano, have not helped. The good news is that this could all change in Q4 2025. On Coingecko, there are hints of strength. On the last day of trading, HNT crypto rose +3%, reducing losses. Over the past month, HNT USDT has remained in red, dropping -23%. Meanwhile, sellers have been pushing hard over the last year, explaining the near -70% contraction. (Source: Coingecko) DISCOVER: 9+ Best High-Risk, High-Reward Crypto to Buy in 2025 What is Helium Crypto? Is It The Next 1000X Token? Overall, Helium crypto traders are upbeat, finding confidence in the project’s vision and mission. Eventually, Helium developers believe their network will be the preferred rail for users who prefer cheap communication and superior benefits. If the future of IoT, HNT diamond holders say, then buying Helium crypto now could be a 1000X opportunity in the next few years. It is easy to see why: While the Helium network is a decentralized layer designed for IoT devices, the platform also automatically connects nodes to enable smooth communication and data sharing across users. On Coingecko, the DePIN sector, of which Helium forms a core part of, already commands nearly $16Bn in market cap, up 4.7% in 24 hours. While Bittensor TAO crypto leads, Helium is in the top 15, commanding a market cap of over $365M. (Source: Coingecko) Helium could post a strong close to the year, shaking off the weakness of late Q3 2025. In early August, they halved their HNT emissions from 15M to 7.5M, reducing inflation and rewarding diamond hands. Crucially, during the third halving event, Helium phased out sub-network tokens, opting for simpler economics and unifying IoT and mobile rewards. They were building on strong growth posted in Q2 2025 when they offloaded over 2,700 TB of mobile data and integrated with major carriers in the United States, including T-Mobile. It is likely that Helium’s coverage, especially in the United States, will grow after it transitions to low-cost light Hotspots, that is, nodes, replacing older hardware. The lower barriers will open the doors for new deployers, effectively increasing the number of Helium node operators. DISCOVER: Best Meme Coin ICOs to Invest in 2025 Big Money Holding HNT Crypto? Helium Buying From Spot Markets Those who run nodes are set up for big gains now that Helium plans to buy HNT directly from the open market. In a post on X, Helium said it now plans to buy HNT tokens directly from the open markets based on its subscriber revenue. As with any other direct buys from the market, HNT prices ticked higher, as more tokens will be bought as revenue increases. HNT USDT found a floor at around $1.77, and a build-up from yesterday’s gains could see HNT USDT gradually reverse losses from early this month, climbing above $3 by the end of the year. Market Cap 24h 7d 30d 1y All Time In addition to direct buys, Helium plans to set up a community-governed DAT that will proactively buy HNT from the market and via OTCs. The DAT will convert network yields, that is, data credits and mobile subscribers, into HNT per-share growth. More yields will also be generated from staking and liquidity provision on Solana.
