XRP price started a decent increase above $2.150. The price is now correcting gains and might struggle to stay in a positive zone. XRP price started a downside correction and tested the $2.080 zone.

Cardano is back in the headlines after its privacy-focused sidechain, Midnight, secured a listing on Binance for its native token, NIGHT. The listing gained attention because NIGHT was featured on Binance Alpha’s front page and came with airdrop perks for eligible users. The move coincides with renewed momentum for ADA. As per the Coingecko data, the token has risen nearly +10% over the past week and is trading around $0.4325. Binance Wallet confirmed that Binance Alpha listed NIGHT on December 9. Binance added that supporting the token aligns with its goal of promoting “rational privacy,” a core principle behind Midnight’s design. Meanwhile, Cardano’s ADA broke th…

During what many anticipated would be the year of a major Bitcoin (BTC) bull run, market expert Axel Adler has revealed that the leading cryptocurrency finds itself at the midpoint of a bear cycle. A Mild Bear Cycle Compared To History As of now, Bitcoin has recorded a modest year-to-date decline of 4%. However, the cryptocurrency has shown some stability this week, consolidating in the range of $89,000 to $94,000, with the latter figure serving as immediate resistance. According to Adler, this current correction, which stands at approximately -32%, is considered less severe compared to previous bear cycles. He emphasizes that approximately 88% of Bitcoin holdings rem…

Analysis of GBP/USD (5M) The GBP/USD currency pair continued its sluggish decline on Tuesday, similar to its "older sister" – the EUR/USD pair. In general, the British pound's positions currently appear more convincing than those of the European currency, and the technical picture is clearer. The British currency continues to trade above the trendline and the Kijun-sen line. Therefore, the upward trend is undoubtedly maintained. Of course, this evening it could easily turn into a downward trend if the market considers the results of the FOMC meeting to be "hawkish." It is difficult for us to say how a decrease in the key interest rate and the unconditionally "dovish" …

Analysis of EUR/USD (5M) The EUR/USD currency pair continued its movement on Tuesday, which might only provoke a nervous tic in most traders. For the fifth consecutive day, the quotes of the European currency slid down at a pace not even a pregnant turtle would envy. Over the full five trading days, the pair fell 44 pips, while the average volatility during this period was 49 pips. Thus, we continue to note the obvious fact – market movements are virtually non-existent. Yesterday, even relatively important reports like ADP and JOLTs did not help. We warned that the data on job openings has long been outdated and that the ADP report is now published not once a month bu…

Solana is back in focus as large traders build fresh futures positions while Bitcoin holds near recent highs. SOL trades around $142 on December 10, up about +6% in the past day. According to CoinGecko, spot activity is strong too, with roughly $6.3Bn in volume. Traders are rotating into high-beta majors again, and Solana often becomes the go-to choice when sentiment improves. Bitcoin’s steady position near the top range gives the market a stable backdrop, and Solana is reacting quickly to that tone.

Ethereum price started a fresh increase above $3,250. ETH is now consolidating gains and might aim for more gains if it clears the $3,380 resistance.

The prospect of a “Trump Fed takeover” is rapidly becoming a central macro theme for 2026, with some traders arguing that markets still underestimate how radical the shift could be for global liquidity – and by extension for crypto. Macro commentator plur daddy (@plur_daddy) describes it bluntly via X: “The Trump Fed takeover being underpriced is my primary theme going into 2026 (hence my gold bet). This is a momentous shift: the bigger and more convex the catalyst, the more difficult it is for markets to price it in properly.” Former Fed trader Joseph Wang known as “Fed Guy” echoes the concern from inside the plumbing, warning: “The market underestimates the likelihood…

The Fed at a CrossroadsThe market is formally preparing for the standard scenario. The Federal Reserve is likely to cut interest rates by 0.25%, and the rhetoric will shift to a moderately dovish stance looking ahead to 2026. While tariffs have a moderate impact on inflation, the employment segment is losing momentum much faster. The hiring rate is slowing, layoffs are not increasing, and unemployment is rising. Logically, a weak labor market pushes the central bank toward further easing. But the real intrigue lies elsewhere. The situation with the repo system and the reduction of bank reserves heightened money market volatility in November. Authorities face the risk of a…

Bitcoin price started a decent increase above $92,000. BTC is now consolidating gains and might aim for another increase if it clears $93,400. Bitcoin started a downside correction from the $94,500 zone. The price is trading above $92,000 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average.

The GBP/USD currency pair remained stagnant on Tuesday. During the U.S. trading session, there was a brief surge in activity, but it had little lasting impact. What could it have influenced when the most important events of the day were the JOLTS and ADP reports? The "headlines" of these reports may be loud, but what do they really represent? The ADP report has recently been published weekly, perhaps to somewhat fill the gaps created by the "shutdown." The shutdown ended a month and a half ago, yet relevant macroeconomic data is still lacking. Clearly, the weekly ADP report is akin to weekly unemployment data—markets pay virtually no attention to it, as there are monthly …

The EUR/USD currency pair continued trading on Tuesday in a manner that has become familiar over the past few months: weak, "choppy" movements with constantly changing directions, resulting in either "rollercoaster" patterns or a complete flat on the higher timeframes. Many traders are becoming frustrated with this situation in the currency market. For long-term investors, it may be feasible to buy and forget or sell and forget. However, most traders enter the forex market to generate profits here and now, not a year from now. How can one profit if the most popular and traded currency pair, EUR/USD, has been stuck in a total flat for six consecutive months? Yes, this flat…

Ethereum saw a flurry of big moves that traders say could matter for its next price swing. In just a few hours, major accounts pulled large sums off an exchange and big wallets opened sizable margin longs. Market watchers are parsing those moves for clues. Institutions Shift Big Stakes According to Arkham Intelligence, Amber Group and Metalapha pulled out 9,000 Ether from Binance in a short span, a haul worth more than $28 million at current prices. Based on reports, institutional flows have been heavy for months — nearly 4 million ETH has been accumulated by institutions over five months. Those kinds of transfers are often linked to custody setups or long-term holding…

Bitcoin is currently holding steady, trading water around the critical $90,000 level as the market enters a period of high compression. With ETF inflows slowing down, the price lacks the momentum to break through overhead resistance. The highly anticipated FOMC meeting is expected to provide the necessary catalyst to end the current consolidation and dictate Bitcoin’s next major directional move. BTC Compression Intensifies: Scaling Back Intraday Scalps According to a recent update from Lennaert Snyder, Bitcoin continues to tighten within a compression phase. The market has been trading in an increasingly narrow range, signaling that a larger move is approaching. Snyder …

Critical Metals (Nasdaq: CRML) announced Tuesday it has executed the term-sheet for creating a 50%-50% joint venture (JV) with Romanian state-owned Fabrica de Prelucrare a Concentratelor de Uraniu (FPCU). Critical Metals’ Tanbreez project in Greenland is one of the world’s largest heavy and medium rare earth deposits. Last month, CRML signed a letter of intent with US-based rare earth processor REalloys for a ten-year offtake agreement covering 15% of production from the project. The FPCU term sheet provides CRML with long-term offtake rights for 50% of the entire Tanbreez concentrate production and outlines the development, financing, and commissioning to…

Dogecoin (DOGE) is, in another consecutive week, settling into a familiar pattern: holding firm at a crucial support zone while market participants weigh technical signals, shifting adoption trends, and the ever-present influence of its community. As the token trades around $0.14, its price behavior reflects a broader phase of consolidation, characterized by tighter volatility and increasing on-chain engagement. With new real-world use cases emerging and traders watching for a breakout, DOGE’s long-term trajectory is becoming a point of renewed discussion. Network Activity Strengthens as Dogecoin Price Holds Key Support Despite muted market reaction to Dogecoin’s 12…

Senators engaged in bipartisan discussions regarding the anticipated crypto market structure bill met on Tuesday amid ongoing disagreements about the timing of a committee vote on the legislation. According to a report from Politico, Sen. Cynthia Lummis, a key negotiator for the Republican side, expressed optimism that a new draft of the bill could be released this week. Lummis aims to have the bill ready for markup before Congress adjourns for the holiday break, stating, “Knock on wood, I hope to share a draft at the end of this week that reflects our best efforts to date.” Lummis Urges Swift Progress On Crypto Legislation During a panel discussion hosted by the Blo…

Log in to today's North American session Market wrap for December 9 Erratic flows across Markets yet again as the countdown to the FOMC decision goes on. While US Stock Markets were snoozers today, but risk-asset enjoyers did get a volatility dose: Cryptos offered quite a strong session, with Bitcoin coming shy of $95,000 and Ethereum touching the $3,300 level before retreating lower. The unambiguous winner of today's session, however, is easily Silver, which broke its fresh $59 record to mark an intraday All-time High at $60.83 in an aggressive late-session move. This price action is highly suggestive of a late session short squeeze, with some traders unfolding some a…

Ethereum has spent the past several days consolidating in a tight range between $3,000 and $3,200, signaling a moment of hesitation as the broader market struggles to find direction. Despite attempts to push higher, momentum has flattened, and uncertainty continues to dominate sentiment. Many analysts now warn that Ethereum may be entering a deeper bearish phase, pointing to weakening spot demand, fragile market structure, and fading optimism across major exchanges. However, one on-chain development has captured the market’s attention. According to new data from CryptoQuant, December 5, 2025 saw a massive spike in Ethereum Exchange Netflow to Binance, marking one of the…

In the previous review, we discussed the reasons that could trigger a new dollar collapse in the second half of 2025. I recommend reviewing that analysis. In this overview, we will take a closer look at the European Central Bank's monetary policy. The ECB completed its monetary policy easing process last summer, conducting a total of 8 rounds of 25 basis points each. Inflation has been successfully "calmed" and brought back to the target mark of 2%. Therefore, the ECB has justifiably stopped lowering interest rates. It is worth noting that the lower the central bank's rates are, the lower the cost of borrowing becomes, and consequently, the lower the yield on bank deposit…

The American currency has successfully avoided its worst-case scenario for five consecutive months. Personally, I do not fully understand why the market is hesitating with new dollar sell-offs when the news picture is as clear as day. However, it is not my place to tell the market what to do; I can only analyze what is happening. My conclusions over the past months, despite the lack of anticipated growth in EUR/USD and GBP/USD instruments, have not changed. I do not believe my conclusions are erroneous because, apart from the growth of these instruments, we do not see any significant declines either. Predicting when the next sideways movement in the market will occur is i…

On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve's verdict may determine the direction of the U.S. dollar for several weeks (or even months) ahead. The December meeting is particularly significant because, amid internal disagreements, the central bank must define its position regarding the pace of monetary policy easing. First, it is essential to note that the formal outcomes of the December meeting are virtually predetermined. According to CME FedWatch data, the probability of a 25-basis-point rate cut is 90%. Thus, the market has little doubt about this. The implementation of the base scenario will not surprise anyone—traders' attention will be focused on the accompanying statement…

2025 has marked a rare moment in financial history—a time when two opposing asset classes have begun to rise simultaneously. Gold, traditionally a safe haven against risk, and stocks, symbolizing a bet on economic growth, have suddenly moved in the same direction. This unusual coincidence has prompted the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) to publicly warn the markets: we are witnessing "explosive behavior" in both asset categories—and this could mean much more than just a good year for investors. Such a combination contradicts the classic logic of financial markets, where gold rises when stocks fall and vice versa. Now, both curves are pointing upwards. The main co…

The cryptocurrency market is ending 2025 on a troubling note: as of Monday, the price of Bitcoin has dropped to $90,600, which is 10.5% lower than the values at the end of the previous year. This marks the first annual decline for the leading digital currency since 2022, signaling a trend reversal after impressive highs at the beginning of the year. In October, Bitcoin surged above $126,000, setting a new all-time high. However, subsequent geopolitical events and macroeconomic upheavals drastically changed the trading landscape. A turning point occurred on October 10 when U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 100% tariff on Chinese goods and threatened to impose export …
