Many affluent retirees want to keep more of what they worked so hard to save, especially when facing higher taxes from required withdrawals and market-driven distributions. One way to pursue greater tax efficiency is by balancing traditional paper assets with physical gold and other IRS approved precious metals inside a self directed Gold IRA. Incorporating tangible metals can help stabilize your long term retirement strategy, reduce reliance on fully taxable withdrawals, and support a more predictable, tax efficient income plan. Understanding How Retirement Withdrawals Are Taxed Traditional IRAs, 401(k)s, and similar tax deferred accounts are taxed as ordinary income wh…

Many retirees are drawn to the Roth IRA because it offers something every saver wants in retirement: the ability to take withdrawals without owing income taxes. While this advantage is important, relying on tax benefits alone does not protect a lifetime of savings from inflation, market volatility, currency weakness, or growing economic uncertainty. This is why more affluent retirees are pairing the Roth’s tax-free features with the lasting stability of physical gold and other precious metals through a self-directed Gold IRA. Understanding How Roth IRA Withdrawals Work in Retirement A Roth IRA allows your investments to grow tax free and enables qualified distributions i…

Many pre-retirees wonder whether it makes sense to draw from their retirement savings before claiming Social Security. This decision can shape how well your income keeps pace with inflation, how much market volatility you expose yourself to, and how confidently you enter retirement. For many Americans who want stability and long-term protection, incorporating physical gold and other precious metals into a retirement strategy can provide an essential anchor during those early transition years. Understanding the Timing Question: Retirement Savings vs. Social Security Choosing when to start Social Security is one of the most important decisions pre-retirees make, and it oft…

Ethereum has been struggling to regain traction below the $3,000 level since Monday, with repeated rejection attempts reinforcing a fragile market structure. Bulls continue to lose ground as upside momentum fades, while sentiment across the market remains dominated by apathy and underlying fear. Trading activity has thinned, relief rallies have been short-lived, and many participants appear hesitant to commit capital in a market that lacks clear directional conviction. As price drifts sideways under key resistance, the broader narrative has shifted from optimism to caution. Despite this weak price action, on-chain derivatives data tells a more complex story. According …

Trade Breakdown and Trading Tips for the British Pound The test of the 1.3369 price level occurred when the MACD indicator was just beginning to move down from the zero line, which confirmed a correct entry point for selling the pound. However, the pair did not go on to post a major decline. Despite the fact that UK retail sales fell by 0.1% in November this year, the pound barely reacted. Although the data came as an unpleasant surprise to the market, which had been expecting confirmation of resilient consumer demand. In the second half of the day, the focus will shift to U.S. existing home sales data, as well as the consumer sentiment index and inflation expectations fr…

Trade Breakdown and Trading Tips for the European Currency The price test of 1.1715 occurred at a moment when the MACD indicator was just beginning to move down from the zero line, which confirmed a correct entry point for selling the euro. As a result, the pair declined by 10 points. German data had no impact on the pair's direction. Given that producer prices remained unchanged and the GfK report brought no surprises, this had no noticeable effect on the EUR/USD rate in the first half of the day. It is clear that a cautious sentiment currently prevails in the market. Next, we are awaiting figures on existing home sales. This indicator serves as a kind of barometer of th…

Today, the pair showed a strong bullish impulse, breaking through two round levels at 156.00 and 157.00, as well as resistance at 157.20. The yen extended its intraday losses after opening remarks by Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda at the press conference following the policy meeting. At the conclusion of the two-day meeting on Friday, the Bank of Japan decided to raise the short-term policy rate by 25 basis points to 0.75%, reaching a level considered the highest in three decades. This move had largely been priced in by the markets and did not trigger sharp fluctuations in the yen. In its accompanying statement, the Bank of Japan said it would continue to raise interes…

US Equities are closing the week on a better note as the CPI report triggers pricing for further rate cuts in 2026. The roles seem to have reversed compared to last week's Fed Speaker communications. NY Fed President Williams pointed towards a further pause this morning, suggesting the CPI data may have been affected by "distortions," while Goolsbee seemed positively surprised by the inflation figures. But another, more fundamental theme could be lifting stocks: Traders are pricing in the Bank of Japan hitting the brakes on future hikes. After an 11-month pause, the BoJ just hiked rates to 0.75%, the highest level in 30 years. While markets have been concerned that Bo…

ioneer (ASX: INR) (NASDAQ: IONR) now expects to complete its partner search for the Rhyolite Ridge lithium-boron mine project in Nevada during the first half of 2026, the company said in a year-end update Friday. In July, the Australian mine developer launched a formal strategic partnering process after Sibanye-Stillwater (JSE: SSW)(NYSE: SBSW) pulled out of the project earlier in the year. At the time, ioneer said the partner search, which is being advised by Goldman Sachs, would take up to four months. However, the process has been dragged into the new year, which the company attributes to market and geopolitical factors. In its latest update, ioneer said it rem…

Crypto analyst Quantum Ascend has published a weekly-chart “roadmap” for Shiba Inu (SHIB) in a new video, laying out three upside targets for a potential altcoin cycle, while warning that SHIB’s deep multi-year drawdown could cap the move if macro conditions deteriorate. The Base Case For Shiba Inu Price In his X post, Quantum Ascend listed “Altseason Targets” as a conservative level (“$0.47 e-8,” as written), a “Primary” target of $0.00014, and a “Blow-Off” target of $0.00035. In the video, the analyst anchored the roadmap to Elliott Wave-style structure and Fibonacci extensions, and emphasized that the bullish path is conditional, not guaranteed. Starting from SHIB’s …

The US Export-Import Bank (EXIM) has increased potential funding to over $2 billion for Graphite One’s (TSXV: GPH) Alaska-to-Ohio supply chain. The bank on Thursday issued non-binding letters of interest tied to the Graphite Creek project near Nome for $670 million, up from $570 million. The prospective loan for an anode materials plant in northeastern Ohio jumped to $1.4 billion, up from $325 million, with a 15-year loan repayment period. EXIM indicated it could cover about 70% of total capital spending through first production, with the balance to come from commercial lenders and other US agencies. “There’s no reason the US should be dependent on foreign-sourced…

Dogecoin is showing resilience at key support, with buyers repeatedly stepping in to absorb downside pressure. However, momentum indicators and the broader structure continue to favor the bears, keeping the short-term trend under stress. This tug-of-war sets the stage for a decisive move, as the next reaction will determine whether DOGE stabilizes or slides deeper. DOGE Stuck In A Prolonged Corrective Phase According to a recent update by More Crypto Online, Dogecoin’s price action remains stuck in a corrective phase that has been in place since November 2024. The sharp flash crash on October 10 added complexity to the broader structure, making the chart harder to interp…

Yen stayed weak despite a historic rate hike: The Bank of Japan raised rates to 0.75% (highest since 1995), but deeply negative real interest rates (about –2.15%) continue to erode yen purchasing power and discourage investment in the currency.Markets had fully priced in the hike: The decision was expected with near-100% probability, triggering a “buy the rumor, sell the news” reaction as investors took profits, adding selling pressure on the yen instead of supporting it.Global rate differentials favor the dollar over the yen: A large real interest rate gap dovish signals from BOJ Governor Ueda, and strong risk appetite for U.S. assets have revived carry trades and pushed…

Oil has been falling continuously since the beginning of December, maintaining the broad downward trend that has characterized 2025—excluding, of course, the price spikes seen during the June 12-Day War. The typical fundamental reasoning for this relentless slide has been significantly higher supply from OPEC+, a result of coordinated geopolitical planning aimed at undercutting Russia's profits from its oil-sponsored war in Ukraine. Furthermore, Russia itself has flooded its purchasers with supply; despite sanctions raising barriers and counterparty risks for European markets, the competitive pricing of Slavic oil has kept global prices depressed. …

Gold is trading around $4,325, following consolidation over the last few hours above the 21 SMA. The bullish momentum is being exhausted. According to the H4 chart, we can see that gold has been testing the downtrend channel, which means there is likely to be a technical rebound in the coming hours if the price consolidates above $4,320 (21 SMA). With the price being above the 21 SMA, there is an opportunity to open long positions, which could push the instrument towards $4,342. Gold could even return to its high reached around the 8/8 Murray located at $4,375. A decisive break and consolidation below $4,320 could be the start of a new bearish sequence. We could expect go…

Bitcoin is trading around $87,891 after a sharp drop to $84,323 yesterday during the US session. We are now seeing a recovery and consolidation above the 2/8 Murray and above the 21 SMA, indicating a possible breakout from the downtrend channel. According to the H4 chart, we can see that Bitcoin has formed a double bottom pattern, which could indicate that Bitcoin could rebound to $93,750 in the future and even return to the psychological level of $100,000. Meanwhile, we can see that the instrument is within the downtrend channel formed since December 8. So, if it reaches $88,700 and tries unsuccessfully to break this zone, it could be seen as an opportunity to open short…

EUR/USD is trading around 1.1711, below 4/8 Murray and below the 21 SMA, under some downward pressure, which indicates that it could continue its fall in the coming hours. However, we can see on the H4 chart that the euro has found good support around 1.1700. This level could give EUR/USD a technical rebound, and the instrument could reach the top of the downtrend channel around 1.1737. If the euro recovers in the coming hours, it could face strong resistance from the top of the downtrend channel and, in turn, the 21 SMA, which could be seen as an opportunity to enter short positions. The target could be around 1.1740, and at Murray's 3/8 located at 1.1657. The euro could…

Ethereum is trading around $2,954 within the downtrend channel formed since December 8 and is showing signs of recovery after finding good support around 1/8 of the Murray level. A double bottom pattern is in progress. If the bullish force prevails, we could expect ETH/USD to break decisively through the downtrend channel in the coming hours. If ETH consolidates above the psychological level of $3,000, then we could expect it to reach the 200 EMA around $3,134 and even return to the 3/8 Murray levels around $3,437. On the other hand, if ETH/USD falls below $2,906, where the 21 SMA is located, there is a chance that the bearish cycle will resume. If this scenario occurs, t…

Savannah Resources (LON: SAV) is closing in on full ownership of a high-grade lithium lease at its Barroso project in northern Portugal after the Aldeia Mining Lease vendor instructed the national regulator to transfer the C-190 licence to the company. The Aldeia lease sits next to Savannah’s C-100 concession and hosts a JORC-compliant resource of 3.5 million tonnes grading 1.30% Li₂O on Block A, representing about 11% of Barroso’s global resource and adding exploration upside across three blocks. Savannah plans to include the Indicated Resource in its upcoming definitive feasibility study. The €3.25 million ($3.8 million) acquisition is funded partly through a re…

XRP holders could be facing another prolonged stretch of downside pressure as the cryptocurrency continues to lose ground in a weakening market. XRP’s performance this period has been underwhelming enough that analysts have seemingly given up hope of the price challenging higher resistance levels in the near term. They revealed that XRP has slipped below key support zones, leaving few technical barriers to slow further declines. XRP Faces Further Decline As All Support Fails A crypto market analyst who goes by the name ‘Guy on the Earth’ on X has shared a rather bleak outlook on XRP’s near-term prospects. In his post on Thursday, the analyst revealed that XRP looks set …

Lundin Mining (TSX: LUN) has agreed to sell its Eagle nickel-copper mine and Humboldt Mill in Michigan, US, to fellow Canadian miner Talon Metals (TSX: TLO) in a share-based deal valued at about $84 million. Lundin will transfer its US subsidiary, which owns the Eagle operation, to Talon in exchange for roughly 275 million Talon shares, valued at about $83.7 million based on recent prices. This would leave Lundin with a 20% non-diluted stake in Talon. Eagle is the only primary nickel mine currently operating in the US and has produced more than 194,000 tonnes of nickel and 185,000 tonnes of copper since starting production, Lundin said. The mine generated more…

Concerns over quantum computing are weighing on Bitcoin’s price and slowing some investment flows, amid a sharp divide between developers and many investors. Developers Call Threat Distant According to Bitcoin developer Adam Back of Blockstream, quantum machines remain far from able to break Bitcoin’s protections. He said the tech is still “ridiculously early” and that research hurdles persist. Back expects no real threat within the next decade and argued that even if parts of Bitcoin’s cryptography were compromised, the network would not automatically be emptied. Security, he noted, does not rest solely on encryption in a way that would allow mass theft on the blockc…

Today, only the Australian dollar and the euro were traded using the Mean Reversion strategy. I traded the Japanese yen using the Momentum strategy. As the data showed, German producer prices were unchanged compared with the previous month, which put slight pressure on the EUR/USD pair in the first half of the day. The impact of this factor on the currency market was limited, as traders continue to bet on a slowdown in price pressures in the region. The lack of growth in German producer prices may indicate easing inflation in the eurozone, which in turn could influence ECB decisions. The pound also reacted with only a slight decline to weak UK retail sales data, which kee…

Asia Market Wrap - BoJ Hikes Rates, Nikkei Rises 1% Most Read: Bank of England (BoE) Preview: A Hawkish Cut in a Stagnating Economy? Implications for the GBP & FTSE 100 Japan's stock market rose significantly on Friday, with the main Nikkei index climbing more than 1% to reach a level of 49,629.
