Trade analysis and recommendations for trading the Japanese yen The price test of 156.63 occurred when the MACD indicator had just begun moving downward from the zero mark, which confirmed the correct entry point for selling the dollar. However, the trade resulted in a loss, as the pair never moved downward. In the afternoon, market attention will be focused on the results of the FOMC meeting, where a decision to cut the key interest rate is expected. Since markets have already priced in the likelihood of a rate cut, the main interest lies in Powell's tone and his comments on future monetary policy. A key moment will be Powell's assessment of economic conditions and infla…

Speaking at the Abu Dhabi Finance Week on 10 December 2025, Michael Saylor said that Bitcoin is indeed digital gold and that once everyone understands it for what it is, the global credit is will be built on it. According to Saylor, Strategy is currently acquiring nearly $500 million to $1 billion worth of Bitcoin per week and has managed $60 billion worth of equities in the past 14 months, becoming the fifth largest treasury in the S&P universe, well on its way to becoming the largest in about four to eight years, given the same pace of accumulation continues. According to him, the entire cabinet of the US, along with President Donald Trump, and financial as well a…

Today, the AUD/USD pair continues its consolidation near December highs as markets await the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision. The Fed is expected to announce its decision during the North American session today, and most analysts anticipate a 25-basis-point rate cut. This expectation has been one of the key factors behind the recent weakening of the U.S. dollar to its lowest levels since late October and the notable rise in AUD/USD observed over the past two weeks. However, market participants prefer to refrain from aggressive buying and are waiting for additional signals regarding the Fed's future policy path. Key attention will be focused on updated economic p…

The wave pattern on the EUR/USD 4-hour chart has transformed, but overall remains quite clear. There is no indication that the upward trend segment, which began in January 2025, has been canceled, but the wave structure has become significantly more complex since July 1 and has taken on a more extended form. In my view, the instrument has completed the formation of corrective wave 4, which took a very unconventional shape. Within this wave, we see exclusively corrective structures, so there is no doubt about the corrective nature of the decline. In my opinion, the upward trend segment is not yet complete, and its targets stretch as far as the 1.25 level. The a-b-c-d-e wav…

Bitcoin climbed to a three-week high on Tuesday before slipping back, a move that has traders and analysts watching closely. According to TradingView data, Bitcoin price topped out at $94,600 late in the session — its highest level since November 25 — then eased to about $92,450 at the time of reporting. Santiment, a blockchain analytics firm, said social chatter calling for “higher” and “above” exploded during the spike, but market action remained uneven. Bitcoin: Trader Frenzy And Skepticism Reports have disclosed that the surge drew heavy retail attention and a flurry of social-media posts urging more buying. Some market watchers questioned how organic the rise wa…

The Panamanian government said on Wednesday the sale of more than 122,000 tonnes of copper concentrate stored at First Quantum Minerals’ (TSX: FM) idled Cobre Panama mine generated $29 million in royalties. Commerce Minister Julio Moltó said the money will fund urgent public works across the country, including upgrades to health centres, school expansions, road repairs and improvements to water and electrical systems. The minister oted the export of concentrate already on site was allowed under the Safe Preservation and Management Plan, which requires First Quantum to cover the mine’s $15-million-a-month maintenance bill. That cost has reached about $360 million since…

Cryptocurrencies have traded up and down over the past week following a rough correction across the board. *By the way, the Bank of Canada Press Conference is currently ongoing for those interesting, you can access it right here – No Cut for the BoC, 2.25% rate unchanged* While key long-term support levels arrested the steep decline and dip-buyers stepped in, the market failed to hold its highs despite a strong session yesterday. This afternoon's event will be critical for all asset classes, including crypto. Here is why: FOMC events often trigger sharp swings between risk-on and risk-off sentiment. As risk assets, cryptocurrencies often correlate with equities. For…

Silver this week crossed the $60-an-ounce mark for the first time, as momentum continues to build in one of the best-performing commodities of the year. Analysts at Sprott believe the main driver behind silver’s recent record-setting run has been a dwindling free-trading inventory. In Sprott’s December precious metals report, analysts led by Paul Wong wrote that the global silver inventory has reached a point where any further demand is “creating price convexity” — when price changes speed up as the metal’s supply tightens. “In prior commentaries, we have noted that global silver inventories were being reduced to the point where the free float of silver availabili…

The Solana network has seen its validator count crash by more than 68% over the past three years, falling from thousands of active nodes to just around 800. The massive decline in validators has sparked discussions about whether this could become a threat to the blockchain network or a natural pruning of inactive nodes to increase efficiency. Solana loses 68% Of Its Validators In 3 Years A new report from Criptonocias reveals that Solana has experienced a dramatic decline in the number of its validators, active and non-active, since March 2023. This decrease has raised concerns across the crypto community about the network’s overall health and security. Over the last…

Less than two hours to the December FOMC!

What is certain is that things should start moving heavily towards the afternoon. With today's FOMC meeting also releasing the Summary of Economic Projections (SEP)—including the famous "Dot Plot"—expect a wave of repricing as traders scramble to explore the different scenarios for 2026, partic…

USA Rare Earth (Nasdaq: USAR) will bring forward the planned commercialization of its Round Top project in Texas by two years, with first production targeted for late 2028, the company said on Wednesday. Round Top is the richest known deposit of heavy rare earth elements, which are crucial to high-performance permanent magnets used in high-tech applications such as electric vehicles, wind turbines and defense systems. It is also the largest US source of gallium and beryllium. The decision to accelerate the Round Top timeline, said USAR, follows promising results of solvent-extraction (SX) pilot work that has allowed its Hydromet demonstration facility in Colorado …

Surging about 4% in the past 24 hours, Stellar (XLM) goes through December with a mix of optimism and caution as new payment integrations and institutional pilots draw attention back to the network’s utility. However, despite signs of growing real-world use, XLM continues to trade near a critical long-term support level, leaving traders divided on whether the token is preparing for a recovery or facing another downward leg. Recent activity across payments, banking pilots, and data-infrastructure upgrades show how Stellar’s ecosystem is expanding at a time when the token sits at a pivotal market position. The tension between strengthening fundamentals and fragile price …

For today’s retirees and near retirees, the challenge is not only saving enough for retirement but making sure those savings keep their value and last for decades. A strong retirement strategy must consider inflation, market volatility, banking uncertainty, and the long-term decline in the purchasing power of the U.S. dollar. This is why many affluent Americans are turning to physical gold and other IRS-approved precious metals to protect and stabilize their retirement income. The Challenge of Creating Lifetime Retirement Income in an Uncertain Economy Longevity risk is one of the biggest concerns for retirees, especially as life expectancy continues to rise. You may spe…

Argentina’s Mendoza province has approved its first large-scale mining project in more than two decades after giving the greenlight to PSJ Cobre Mendocino, a joint venture between Switzerland’s Zonda Metals and Argentine company Alberdi Energy. Earlier this week, the Senate of Mendoza granted its approval of Cobre Mendocino’s environmental impact statement, thereby ending a lengthy review process. For years, the proposed copper mine has been assessed by provincial technical bodies and independent consultants, and multidisciplinary teams that have conducted more than 13 years of environmental and social baseline studies in the Uspallata area. The project had previo…

US Fed Federal Funds Rate (December 2025): 3.50-3.75% vs 3.50-3.75% expected, meets consensus In support of its goals and in light of the shift in the balance of risks, the Committee decided to lower the target range for the federal funds rate by 1/4 percentage point to 3-1/2 to 3-3/4 percent.

The Committee is strongly committed to supporting maximum employment and returning inflation to its 2 percent objective. Federal Reserve FOMC Statement, December 10th 20…

Despite a noticeable cooldown in trading volumes, Bitcoin’s underlying market structure has continued to strengthen. The price action has stabilized within a narrow range as long-term holders maintain firm conviction. As more BTC flows into cold storage and supply on exchanges tightens, the market is transitioning from hype-driven swings to steady structural support. How The Price Compression Builds Energy For A Larger Move CIO and founder of MNFund and MNCapital, CryptoMichNL, emphasized that Bitcoin shares a strong correlation with the Nasdaq. While Nasdaq continues to show steady resilience, BTC has stalled behind. This mismatch creates a mispricing and market diverge…

The Fed just cut rates by 25 bps – Neutral tone (neither dovish or hawkish) It was largely expected and the Fed doesn't like to surprise Markets, so they tend to follow pricing closely (or send out a message through Nick TImiraos just before in case they had a last-minute change of mind). You can get access to the detailed report right here: Breaking News: US Federal Reserve cuts rates by 25 bps, bringing target range to 3.50 - 3.75% There has been extra mentions of a US labor market getting weaker, but the Fed still made balanced remarks on their dual mandate, implying that they are still concerned with inflation. The dot plot suggests between 50 to 75 bps of cutting…

Crypto analyst Bull Theory has explained why the Bitcoin price has been crashing recently. The analyst pointed out that Wall Street traders were responsible for the price declines, indicating that these trading desks were manipulating the market for their own benefit. Analyst Explains Why The Bitcoin Price Is Crashing In an X post, Bull Theory blamed Jane Street for the Bitcoin price’s constant crash at 10 a.m. ET when the U.S. market opens. The analyst pointed out that BTC erased 16 hours of gains in just 20 minutes after the U.S. market opened. This has notably been happening since early November, when the flagship crypto fell below $100,000. Meanwhile, a similar pri…

In a move that could signal a bullish shift for Bitcoin (BTC) and the broader cryptocurrency market, the Federal Reserve (Fed) announced a 25 basis points (bps) interest rate cut, bringing the new rate range to 3.5% to 3.75%. Bitcoin Poised To Surge Toward $100,000? Kevin Hassett, the White House economic adviser and a leading candidate to become the next Fed chair, commented to the Wall Street Journal CEO Council that there is “plenty of room” for additional interest rate cuts. He stated, “If the data suggests that we could do it, then — like right now, I think there’s plenty of room to do it.” Hassett, who is President Donald Trump’s preferred choice for the Fed cha…

Solana’s (SOL) market structure is entering a tense phase, shaped by thinning liquidity, elevated leverage, and conflicting signals across institutional flows and derivatives markets. Related Reading: The Current Bitcoin Price Pump Will End In A Crash – Here’s When To Start Selling While price movements remain within familiar ranges, the underlying conditions paint a more complex picture, one that traders are watching closely for signs of either exhaustion or a sharp reversal. Recent sessions have seen Solana drift between $128 and $145, with brief rebounds lifting it toward the upper end of this range. However, liquidity indicators suggest a deeper reset is taking sha…

Copper prices rebounded to a near record on Wednesday amid fresh warnings of a sizable supply shortage that is likely to fall short of demand. Three-month futures on the London Metal Exchange settled at $11,556.50 a ton, for an intraday gain of 0.6%. Earlier this week, the metal — a raw material vital to renewable energy, electric vehicles and data centers — hit a record of $11,771 a ton after promising economic outlook from China, its top consumer. Click on chart for live prices. The renewed rally comes on the back of further bullish calls on copper’s long-term prospects, which in recent months have been lifted by a series of mine disruptions and growing ex…

Log in to today's North American session Market wrap for December 10 The Fed delivered a "neutral" 25 bps cut to 3.50%-3.75%, sending markets higher. Bonds, stocks, and metals all rallied, while the US Dollar took a significant hit. Small-cap stocks and industrials outperformed, with the Russell 2000 (+1.50%) and the Dow Jones (+1.10%) leading the way—a natural flow, as rate cuts tend to support these sectors the most. Bitcoin, on the other hand, failed to hold its highs unlike other asset classes. Still, Ethereum and some altcoins maintained some strength, the broader crypto market still seems confused. Tomorrow's close will be essential for all asset classes; Despite…

Ethereum has pushed above the $3,350 level, injecting fresh momentum into the market after weeks of uncertainty. Yet despite this breakout, overall sentiment remains clouded by fear, with many analysts still warning that the broader structure points toward a developing bear market. Traders now find themselves at a pivotal juncture: is this the beginning of a sustained recovery, or merely a temporary rally before further downside? According to a new CryptoQuant report, one of the most revealing indicators right now is Ethereum’s funding rate behavior across major exchanges. Unlike the explosive funding spikes seen during the two major rallies earlier this year, the curre…

History repeats itself. Literally, the last four days have been reminiscent of twin brothers. EUR/USD rose during the European session on positive signals from Europe, then fell during the U.S. session amid expectations of a "hawkish" Federal Reserve rate cut. The main currency pair increasingly resembles a compressed spring, ready to shoot off at any moment. Will Jerome Powell give the signal? According to Christine Lagarde, the European economy has proven to be much more resilient to Donald Trump's tariffs than previously assumed. The euro rose, even though skeptics argued that the import duties would weaken it. As a result, the European Central Bank will likely raise G…

Investor focus on Wednesday was on the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision and the subsequent press conference. A 0.25% interest rate cut is already priced in. However, market participants remain on alert, awaiting new hints regarding the Federal Reserve's future actions. Meanwhile, oil market participants are assessing the data from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) report, released on Wednesday. The EIA reported a reduction in US oil inventories of -1.812 million barrels in November, exceeding forecasts of -1.200 million barrels (after an increase of +0.574 million in October). However, this data did not have a positive impact on oil prices. Oil prices…
