At the end of yesterday, US stock indices closed higher. The S&P 500 rose by 0.26%, while the Nasdaq 100 gained 0.48%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 0.15%. Today, Asian stock indices increased by 0.4% and are on track to post their sixth consecutive monthly gain—marking the longest winning streak since 2018. Clearly, markets are in no rush to reduce risk after several previous episodes of threats to a US government shutdown. This persistent optimism, however, is supported by a number of factors beyond seasonal stability. First and foremost, there is the expectation of further economic stimulus measures aimed at supporting domestic demand and cushioning p…

Bitcoin and Ethereum continue their steady growth amid the risk of a US government shutdown. Just a couple of years ago, such an event would have triggered a sell-off of risky assets, but not anymore. It's clear that demand has returned to the cryptocurrency market. Fresh data shows that in the past 90 days, net inflows to stablecoins have exceeded $46 billion—that's a 325% increase compared to last year. This indicates growing demand for assets pegged to the US dollar. The surge in interest in stablecoins is not a coincidence, but a logical result of several interconnected factors. First, uncertainty in the global economy is prompting investors to seek stable assets…

Data shows the Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index has retreated into the neutral territory as the BTC price has made recovery back above $114,000. Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index Is Exactly In The Balance Right Now The “Fear & Greed Index” refers to an indicator created by Alternative that measures the average sentiment present among traders in the Bitcoin and wider cryptocurrency markets. The index uses the data of the following five factors to determine the investor mentality: volatility, trading volume, market cap dominance, social media sentiment, and Google Trends. The metric represents the sentiment as a score lying between zero and hundred, where all values abov…

The crypto market in Turkey is facing turbulence as President Recep Tayyip Erdogan pushes for stricter regulations targeting digital assets. Reports from Bloomberg reveal that new legislation could empower Turkey’s Financial Crimes Investigation Board (MASAK) to freeze crypto accounts without court orders, sparking fears across the local crypto market. With Turkey ranking among the top 15 crypto-adopting nations, over $ 170 billion in trading volume was recorded in 2023 alone. Now, the government aims to curb illegal betting, fraud, and tax evasion, raising concerns about market freedom and investor confidence. Will these actions create stability or trigger FUD and a po…

Trade Review and Advice on Trading the Japanese YenThe test of the 148.58 price level occurred at a time when the MACD indicator had already moved well below the zero line. This limited the pair's downside potential, and as a result, I chose not to sell the dollar. The second test of the same level occurred while the MACD was in oversold territory, which triggered the implementation of Scenario #2 (Buy). However, this did not result in a significant upward move for the pair. A U.S. government shutdown has become even more probable following yesterday's meeting between Democrats and Republicans. The failure to reach an agreement weakened the dollar and strengthened the yen…

Trade Review and Advice on Trading the British PoundThe test of the 1.3448 price level occurred when the MACD indicator had already moved significantly above the zero line, which limited the pair's upside potential. For this reason, I decided not to buy the pound. A second test of the same level coincided with the MACD being in the overbought zone, which validated sell Scenario #2, resulting in a 30-pip drop. The absence of consensus among U.S. politicians due to major ideological differences negatively impacted the value of the U.S. dollar yesterday, leading to a modest strengthening of the British pound. Investors are increasingly concerned about the potential consequen…

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…

As September ends, Bitcoin reclaims $114K – a meaningful intraday bounce that also pushes the total crypto market cap back above $3.9T. BTC closed near $113,985 after briefly touching $114,309, and traders are now eyeing $108K as support and $114,309 as immediate resistance, with a stronger ceiling sitting near $117K. XRP and Ethereum are also up by 0.89% and 2.44% respectively. In other news, the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and gold are in the green, with the US Treasury’s gold holdings crossing $1T in value. A likely contributor to this is the Fed’s 25-basis-point rate cut, which has significantly lowered the hurdle rate for risky bets, bleeding into high-beta assets like …

BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) has surpassed Coinbase’s Deribit platform, becoming the largest venue for Bitcoin options globally. Open interest in options tied to IBIT recently reached nearly $38B, compared to $32B on Deribit. Deribit was founded in 2016 and has been the market leader for Bitcoin derivatives for the longest time. In contrast, launched only in November 2024, IBIT is relatively new to the options trading market. Its early and rapid adoption has turned heads in the crypto world. IBIT has had a remarkable growth since its inception. For starters, the firm crossed $80B in assets under management (AUM) in just 374 trading days – the fastest for an …

Bitcoin continued its rally during U.S. trading yesterday and gained further during today's Asian session, reaching the 114,800 mark. Ethereum also posted significant gains, consolidating above $4,000. Yesterday, the SEC required issuers of spot ETFs for LTC, XRP, SOL, ADA, and DOGE to withdraw their 19b-4 filings, following the approval of general listing standards that replace the need for individual submissions. Clearly, this change will significantly accelerate the approval process for new crypto ETFs, making the old approach obsolete. As I noted earlier, the SEC's decision marks a turning point in recognizing cryptocurrencies as a legitimate asset class. The withdr…

If new U.S. tariffs and the looming government shutdown haven't spooked markets, should investors really be worried about lofty valuations? The S&P 500 is currently trading at nearly 23 times the earnings expected over the next 12 months. Over the past 25 years, such levels have been seen only twice — during the dot-com bubble and the pandemic. Yet some individual companies are trading at even higher P/E multiples. U.S. Companies With Elevated Valuations Interestingly, it is precisely the stocks with inflated valuations that are leading the rally. On September 29, the S&P 500 gained on the back of a 12% surge in Robinhood, whose P/E stands at 60. Since the b…

In recent months, Solana (SOL) has emerged as a formidable competitor to Ethereum (ETH), consistently outpacing its larger rival in various key metrics. Analysts from The Motley Fool have highlighted that while Solana is sprinting ahead, Ethereum seems to be trotting along in comparison. Ethereum’s Market Lead May Be At Risk A particularly telling metric in this competition is the total value locked (TVL) within each ecosystem. TVL serves as an indicator of the capital deposited in a blockchain’s decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts. A higher total value locked often signifies greater value within the ecosystem, reflecting growing user engagement and…

The U.S. dollar continued to lose ground rapidly against risk assets at the start of the week, with objective reasons for this decline. The likelihood of a government shutdown increased further after yesterday's meeting between Democrats and Republicans with Trump. Traders are concerned about how political uncertainty may impact the U.S. economy and are seeking safer assets, which is putting pressure on the dollar. The situation is aggravated by the approaching deadline for passing the budget for the new fiscal year. If Congress fails to reach a compromise, government agencies will be forced to suspend their operations. This would lead to a reduction in public services, s…

As the crypto market recovers from the end-of-September correction, Ethereum (ETH) is attempting to reclaim the crucial $4,200 area. Some analysts affirmed that the altcoin’s bounce signals that a new leg up could be coming in the next few weeks. Ethereum Reclaims $4,000 On Monday, Ethereum continued to recover from the recent market pullback, surging nearly 6% from Sunday’s Lows toward a crucial barrier. Last week, the King of Altcoins recorded a sharp drop below the $4,000 level for the first time since early August, recording an eight-week low of $3,815 on Thursday afternoon. Over the weekend, the cryptocurrency reclaimed the $4,000 barrier before surging to the cru…

Solana found support near the $192 zone. SOL price is now attempting to recover from above $200 and faces hurdles near $215.

Monday Trade Review:1H Chart of EUR/USD The EUR/USD pair continued its upward movement for most of Monday. It cannot be said that the dollar fell too sharply, but the decline has now lasted for two consecutive days. Nor can it be said that the threat of a U.S. government shutdown or Donald Trump's new import tariffs triggered a collapse of the dollar, although in the first half of 2025, such factors would almost certainly have done so. Thus, under current conditions, the U.S. dollar remains relatively stable. On the hourly timeframe, we have drawn a descending trendline, but it is rather tentative. On Monday, there were no important macroeconomic releases in either th…

Macroeconomic Report Analysis: There are several macroeconomic releases scheduled for Tuesday, with most of them originating from Germany. German data is important for the euro, as Germany is the largest economy in the Eurozone. However, it is still only one country out of 27, so market reactions to German reports are usually limited. Today's reports include retail sales, unemployment rate, changes in the number of unemployed, and inflation. Naturally, the most important release is inflation, which may rise to 2.3%. The higher the inflation, the better for the euro, since this reduces the likelihood of another round of monetary easing by the European Central Bank. In …

Monday Trade Review:1H Chart of GBP/USD On Monday, GBP/USD also traded with a slight upward bias, but there is one important difference between the technical picture of the pound and that of the euro. The British currency consolidated above a fairly strong descending trendline and also broke through the key level of 1.3413. This strongly suggests that the pound's decline has ended. Recall that over the past two weeks the market used almost any reason to sell sterling, but overall the fundamental backdrop for the dollar remains much weaker. We tend to view the recent moves as just another correction within the broader uptrend, which will resume sooner or later. On Mond…

As Bitcoin (BTC) continues to trade in the low $110,000 range, a key on-chain indicator has flipped bullish, show signs of an upcoming price rally that could propel the top digital asset to new all-time highs (ATH) in the near term.

The analyst shared the following chart to highlight the relationship between Bitcoin’s price and the total number of transactions. Notably, whenever the total transaction count surges above the 600,000 level …

The Bitcoin price opened Monday with a slight recovery, reclaiming the $113,000 mark after a dip that brought the price down to $109,000—a level that has proven to be significant support for the top cryptocurrency. Despite this temporary bounce, one expert warns of further challenges ahead for bullish investors. Warns Of Further Bitcoin Price Drops In a recent post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Doctor Profit expressed confidence in his market analysis, indicating that BTC is on track to reach his projected target range between $90,000 to $94,000, meaning an additional 20% drop for the Bitcoin price. He posited that the cryptocurrency is poised to move…
