Bitmine has quietly loaded up on Ethereum. Over the past few weeks, the company bought 2.6 million ETH during market dips, pushing its crypto treasury to a massive $10.9 billion. This was not a one-time splash, but a series of buys timed when prices were low. While others were panicking or sitting on the sidelines, Bitmine saw an opportunity and went for it. Buying the Dip on Purpose Bitmine did not stumble into these buys by accident. It waited for ETH to drop, then moved fast. The pattern is clear: buy when the market pulls back, stack when others hesitate. It is a move that says the company sees value in Ethereum and is not just here for the short-term gains. Thi…

Trade Review and Advice on Trading the EuroThe test of 1.1713 coincided with the MACD indicator moving well below the zero line, which limited the downside potential for the pair. For this reason, I did not sell the euro. The second test of this level occurred while the MACD was in the oversold area, which allowed scenario No. 2 for buying to be realized, resulting in an increase of more than 35 pips. The probability of a U.S. government shutdown has risen sharply following negotiations between Democratic and Republican representatives. Against this backdrop, investors are growing increasingly concerned about how political instability could impact the U.S. economy, potent…

Chile’s environmental regulator has fined Albemarle (NYSE: ALB) nearly $340,000 for violations at its lithium operations in the Atacama salt flat, escalating tensions between the world’s top lithium producer and Chilean authorities. The Superintendence of the Environment (SMA) said Albemarle exceeded its approved water extraction limits between October 2019 and September 2020, drawing an average of 452.3 litres per second, which is above what was authorized under its environmental permit. The regulator also found the North Carolina-based company failed to follow required safeguards under its Aquifer Alert Sector plan in early 2021, including not reporting the act…

The second estimate of UK GDP confirmed 0.3% growth for Q2, but the composition of growth reveals a troubling trend—stagnant consumer spending was offset by increases in government expenditures and a widening current account deficit. Expectations of accelerated GDP growth in Q3 remain low, as the composite PMI index fell in September to a four-month low of 51 points. The manufacturing PMI hit a five-month low and remained firmly in contraction territory. Structural problems are building in the UK economy and are increasingly impacting its resilience. Public borrowing in August significantly exceeded forecasts, with the budget deficit rising to £18 billion—a five-year…

Six years ago, as many economists acknowledge, the government shutdown was not a total shutdown. At that time, the U.S. Congress had managed to approve at least part of the budget for the upcoming fiscal year, so not all federal employees were at risk of being furloughed. In 2025, however, the situation is very different. Virtually all public servants are now under threat because Democrats and Republicans have failed to agree on fundamental spending issues. It's also important to note that a U.S. federal employee is not limited to the stereotypical desk worker or postal carrier. It also includes military personnel, who, although they will not be dismissed, will also not r…

Yesterday, US stock indices closed higher. The S&P 500 gained 0.34%, while the Nasdaq 100 added 0.42%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose by 0.09%. Record growth in global indices extended to Asia: equities moved higher after OpenAI reached an agreement with South Korean chipmakers, boosting enthusiasm around artificial intelligence. Asian indices climbed by 1.1%, trading above the record closing level reached last month. The main growth leaders were semiconductor producers. Shares of Samsung Electronics Co. rose by 4.3%, and SK Hynix Inc. surged by 10% after OpenAI approached these companies with a request for chips. This pushed South Korean indices to a histori…

USA Rare Earth (Nasdaq: USAR) is acquiring one of the most established rare earth metal and alloy producers outside of China, a move that it says represents “a significant acceleration” of its mine-to-magnet strategy. Earlier this week, the company announced that it will acquire United Kingdom-based Less Common Metals (LCM), which currently produces both light and heavy rare earth permanent magnet metals and alloys at scale at its 67,000-square-foot facility in Cheshire. LCM is one of the few companies capable of processing metal oxide feedstocks from both mined and recycled sources, USAR said. Metals and alloys produced at its facility include samarium, samarium …

On Thursday, the GBP/USD pair continued to trade very calmly. Still, it is worth recalling that the U.S. dollar has recently accumulated several fresh factors of weakness. Whether the U.S. NonFarm Payrolls and unemployment reports will be released today remains unclear, with contradictory news circulating. However, even without these releases, the situation looks obvious. We have often noted that ADP and NonFarm Payrolls figures for the same month rarely align closely. The market, therefore, tends to focus more on Nonfarm Payrolls for assessing the labor market. What the two reports do share, however, is the trend: both show different numbers but a consistent deterioratio…

Dogecoin is compressing beneath a dense band of weekly resistance that could unlock a powerful upside continuation once cleared, according to crypto analyst The Great Mattsby (@matthughes13). In his October 5 video, Mattsby frames the 0.618 retracement from the 2021 peak to the 2022 cycle low—marked at $0.26261—as the immediate trigger that “price is still getting rejected at,” adding: “That’s the area of interest to maybe try to close above.” Screenshots of his weekly DOGE/USDT chart show price hovering around $0.248–$0.249 at the time of recording, with a session high near $0.265 and low near $0.226, underscoring how repeatedly the market has tested the band without se…

Bitcoin (BTC), the leading cryptocurrency, has made headlines this week by consistently breaking all-time highs, recently surpassing the $126,000 mark for the first time. However, the current price action has not only drawn attention from investors but also reignited discussions surrounding a notable prediction made two years ago. An anonymous user had forecasted that Bitcoin would achieve a peak on October 6, 2025—a prediction that came to fruition just yesterday. Potential New Bear Market Ahead Despite this milestone, Bitcoin has retraced to around $121,000 within hours after today’s record, leading to a wave of liquidations from long positions across various exchang…

Intercontinental Exchange, the same company that owns the New York Stock Exchange, is betting big on the future of prediction markets. ICE is investing up to $2 billion into Polymarket, a blockchain-powered platform that lets users bet on real-world events. That puts Polymarket’s valuation around $8 billion before any of this money even hits the table. From Wall Street to What’s Going to Happen Next Polymarket isn’t your typical trading platform. Instead of buying stocks or crypto, users wager on things like election outcomes, celebrity drama, or even sports results.

Bitcoin's exchange rate against the U.S. dollar has been correcting for the second consecutive day after a strong upward movement that began on September 26. If today's daily candle closes as a bearish (black) candle, this will confirm the price's consolidation below the target level of 122,185, as well as below the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level. The next downside target will be the 50.0% Fibonacci retracement level, which aligns with support at 117,418 — the August 22 high. Further decline toward 115,679 is also possible. This level corresponds to the low from July 15 and lies near the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level. A deeper correction below that zone is unlike…

The U.S. dollar continues to strengthen against risk-sensitive assets. Yesterday's comments from Federal Reserve officials that lower interest rates might lead to higher inflation supported the U.S. dollar. Traders, concerned about the likelihood of tighter U.S. monetary policy, quickly rotated out of the euro and other risky assets and into the safer dollar. Additional pressure on the euro came from an ECB official's remarks, suggesting that the eurozone could face a sharp decline in its inflation target. The market reacted instantly to the warning signs of potential deflationary pressures, sparking a sell-off in the euro and, consequently, boosting the U.S. dollar. This…

As the crypto market rallies, BNB continues to hit new record levels, surpassing some of the largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization and leading some analysts to suggest that its end-of-year run has just started. BNB Sees 30% Weekly Run After a massive Q3 rally, BNB has started the last quarter of the year with a remarkable 30% rally. Over the past week, the cryptocurrency has recorded four new all-time highs (ATHs), climbing the list of top cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. The altcoin recovered from the late September pullback a week ago, reclaiming the $1,000 barrier. At the time, Analyst Ali Martinez suggested that turning this level into su…

Copper surged to a 16-month high in London after Teck Resources (TSX: TECK.A, TECK.B)(NYSE: TECK) lowered its copper production guidance for 2025 after persistent setbacks at its Quebrada Blanca (QB) mine in Chile and Highland Valley Copper (HVC) operation in Canada. Prices climbed as much as 0.5% to $10,815 per tonne on the London Metal Exchange. The company said it now expects to produce 170,000 to 190,000 tons in 2025, down from its previous target of 210,000 to 230,000 tons. Teck also trimmed annual production targets for the next three years. The QB project has long frustrated investors, coming in $4 billion over budget and years behind schedule. Current chal…

Gold prices sailed past the $4,000/oz mark overnight to reach highs around the $4050/oz mark in the European session. A mix of easy monetary policies, steady buying by central banks and rising world tensions seem to be driving the rally. That move beyond $4000/oz hints that market participants feel hopeful after the psychological barrier fell. Overall, the momentum and the big‑picture forces look lined up, suggesting the $4,000 breach could be part of a long‑run cycle. A pull‑back might be a very good spot for would be bulls.

Crypto expert BarriC has shared a bold view about the future of the XRP price. He believes that it could rise to $1,000 or even higher if it reaches full global use by banks and financial institutions. BarriC says the world has never seen what happens when a digital asset is used on a massive scale by traditional finance. According to him, this level of use could set XRP apart from all other cryptocurrencies. XRP Price Poised For Historic Gains Amid Global Bank Adoption BarriC predicts that the XRP price has the potential to reach record-breaking levels once banks and financial firms worldwide begin to adopt the cryptocurrency on a daily basis. If banks move money throug…

EUR/AUD The EUR/AUD pair continues its steady movement within a descending price channel. Yesterday, the pair attempted to break below the median line of this channel. The consistent downward slope of the Marlin oscillator's signal line suggests that this median line will likely be breached soon — possibly as early as today. A daily close below this line would open the path toward the lower boundary of the channel at 1.7365. If the price exits the channel altogether, the next downside target becomes the support area at 1.7246 — the May low. On the 4-hour (H4) chart and the daily chart, the pair is also declining below both the balance line and the MACD line. The price is…

Ethereum whales are back in accumulation mode after a turbulent weekend, sparking debate over whether this dip is an entry point or another short-term bounce for ETH crypto. Large holders, including one of the biggest corporate treasuries in the market, have been buying heavily over the past 24 hours. The move follows a leverage-driven sell-off that briefly pushed Ether toward $3,500. BitMine Immersion Technologies stated that its recent purchases have increased its total holdings to more than 3.03 million ETH, equivalent to approximately 2.5% of the total supply.
