Euro Dollar – U.S. Dollar Index (USDX) Euro Dollar The U.S. Dollar Index (USDX) may not be the most actively traded instrument in the forex world, but it remains one of the most valuable indicators for currency traders. Even if you never place a trade directly on the index, understanding how it works and how its movements correlate with major currency pairs—can give you a powerful edge. Think of it as a missing puzzle piece that helps you make clearer, more confident trading decisions. What Is the U.S. Dollar Index (USDX)? The U.S. Dollar Index (USDX) measures the value of the U.S. dollar against a specific basket of foreign currencies. Originally introduced by the Fede…

XRP has been subjected to bold predictions about its future value in the crypto community this cycle. One such prediction came recently from Versan Aljarrah, better known as Black Swan Capitalist, who noted that the stage is set for XRP to hit the $100 mark. Here, he outlined a roadmap on social media that explains how XRP could scale from today’s modest $3 price levels to $100, $1,000, and even beyond. Big Players Need To Start Stacking According to Aljarrah, XRP’s first push to $100 is dependent on accumulation by big players. This is very important, and recent market dynamics have quietly increased this accumulation trend, especially as institutional investors are now…

Executive summary: Your required minimum distribution (RMD) equals last year’s December 31 account balance divided by an IRS life-expectancy factor. The real skill is picking the correct factor, applying the rules for each account type, and timing withdrawals to limit taxes and Medicare surcharges.

How to Calculate RMD in Five Clear Steps Step 1: Confirm that an RMD applies this year For most people, RMDs start in the year you turn 73 (born 1951–1959). The starting age rises to 75 for those who reach age…

Easy trades that pay well How to Identify and Trade a Liquidating Market Easy trades that pay well A liquidating market occurs when traders are focused on exiting positions and not adding new ones. Instead of fresh buying or selling to build positions, the dominant flow consists of participants rushing to get out, creating sharp, often relentless price moves. In today’s environment, this behavior has been especially visible in U.S. equities, including the NASDAQ 100. After reaching record highs fueled by AI enthusiasm, tech-sector strength, and expectations of a December Fed rate cut, sentiment shifted quickly. Concerns about stretched valuations and mixed signals from …

In 2025, moving a 401k to gold without penalty is a strategic process that requires careful planning and adherence to IRS guidelines to ensure tax deferral and avoid early withdrawal penalties. The most effective way to make this move is through a direct rollover from a traditional 401k into a self-directed IRA that allows for alternative asset investments such as physical gold. This type of IRA is different from a standard brokerage IRA because it gives the account holder the freedom to invest in IRS-approved precious metals including gold coins and bullion. The key is to initiate a trustee-to-trustee transfer where the funds move directly from the current 401k custodia…

What gives XRP its value? In an exchange on X, Ripple CTO David Schwartz – known as “JoelKatz” – tried to answer that question without pretending crypto already behaves like traditional assets. He didn’t lean on marketing language about instant settlement or global payments. He talked about power, control, censorship, incentive design, and speculation. How Does XRP Get Its Value? First, Schwartz reframed what XRP is actually for. He argued that the XRP Ledger is built for people and institutions that don’t want an intermediary sitting in the middle of their transactions. He put it in blunt terms: “Do you want to use a blockchain where people can be their own bank and no …

How to Protect Retirement Accounts from Lawsuits Executive Summary Market swings aren’t your only risk in retirement.

Markets generally move in two primary ways: trending or rangebound. Trending markets are popular among traders for their directional clarity. They offer chances to ride momentum, add to positions, or fade extremes. They also give structure and potential for extended moves. However, rangebound markets are also full of opportunities. They provide clear levels where one knows when he is wrong and help to assess if prices are elevated or cheap. (Even though this is always a touchy subject in Trading - everything is relative!) Markets in range rhyme with a general acceptance of prices, and buyers and sellers balance out. GBPJPY has been in a large range since September 202…

While AUDCAD isn’t among the highest-volume pairs in Forex, it’s often in the lesser-traded instruments that sharp traders find unique opportunities. Commodities heavily influence the Australian and Canadian dollars, as both nations are major exporters. The AUD tends to react more to moves in industrial metals—especially copper—while the CAD is tied to oil price fluctuations. Beyond commodities, the currencies are driven by their respective economic ties: Canada is closely linked to trends in the U.S., whereas Australia is more sensitive to developments in China. In the absence of fresh geopolitical shocks, traders are focusing on central bank policy divergence and incomi…

With the Federal Reserve set to announce policy on Wednesday, September 17, a closely followed trader has laid out a precise, level-by-level playbook for navigating Bitcoin’s next move. In his weekly “Market Outlook #51,” published on September 15, Nik Patel (@cointradernik) for Ostium Research maps out both long and short triggers around a tight cluster of resistance at $117.5k–$120k and a “line in the sand” support at $112k—frameworks he argues should contain BTC’s path through the FOMC and into quarter-end. How To Trade Bitcoin Into September FOMC Nik’s higher-timeframe read starts with a strong weekly close that reclaimed the August open near $115.3k and, crucially, …

Thursday Trade Review: 1H EUR/USD Chart The EUR/USD currency pair continued to decline on Thursday. This time, the drop began long before the day's only event — Jerome Powell's speech. The market started selling off the euro in the morning and continued to do so after the completely "flat" remarks from the Federal Reserve Chair. Powell once again emphasized that further monetary easing is not predetermined and will depend on macroeconomic data — the same thing he's been saying since early 2025. However, the market, which ignored Powell with a negative bias in the first half of 2025, is now doing the same with a positive tilt. Powell's rhetoric, in essence, hasn't cha…

Thursday Trade Review:1-Hour EUR/USD Chart On Thursday, EUR/USD continued its upward movement, which was clearly visible on the hourly timeframe. On the 5-minute chart, however, the pair was completely flat. It was a tranquil day in terms of macroeconomic and fundamental events. More accurately, the pair has entered a stagnation phase that requires major catalysts to spur renewed volatility. Due to the ongoing U.S. government shutdown, many key October reports were never released. As a result, traders still don't fully understand how the Federal Reserve will approach its rate decision at the end of the month. The market is pricing in a near-100% probability of another rat…

Friday Trade Review: 1-Hour Chart of EUR/USD On Friday, the EUR/USD currency pair declined more than it rose. As a reminder, the technical trend turned bullish last week; therefore, traders are now fully justified in expecting the euro to rise. It's also worth noting that recently (in our view), the euro had few grounds for decline, and the U.S. dollar had little reason to strengthen. However, the daily timeframe remains flat, which is why we saw nearly three weeks of decline, raising many questions. As for Friday itself, the inflation report in the Eurozone for September came in above both forecasts and the initial estimate. The higher the inflation rate, the less …

Monday Trade Review: 1-Hour Chart of EUR/USD On Monday, the EUR/USD currency pair posted 37 pips of volatility. In short, there is little to analyze from the previous session. There were no significant or even mildly interesting macroeconomic or fundamental events throughout the day. As such, price movement was also limited. The uptrend on the 1-hour timeframe remains intact after breaking through another descending trendline, but once again, we observe a lack of enthusiasm from traders to buy the euro or take any decisive action. This suggests that while the upward movement may continue, it is likely to be extremely sluggish. On the daily timeframe, price remains l…

Trade Review for Tuesday: 1-Hour Chart of EUR/USD On Tuesday, the EUR/USD pair continued drifting lower slowly and with low volatility. The euro has now declined for three straight days, despite having no fundamental or technical justification. We continue to view nearly any current growth in the U.S. dollar as illogical. Traders should keep in mind the clearly visible range-bound structure on the daily timeframe, which may be the main reason behind the unusual and erratic price movements. On both Monday and Tuesday, there were no noteworthy economic reports or events in either the Eurozone or the United States. As a result, traders had little to react to. The upwar…

Wednesday's Trade Recap: 1H EUR/USD Chart On Wednesday, the EUR/USD pair demonstrated minimal volatility—something traders have grown used to in recent weeks. The U.S. dollar once again attempted to strengthen for no apparent reason, even though there were no important economic events or reports in either the EU or the U.S. At the time of writing, traders failed to secure a break below the 1.1584 level, though the nature of current price action suggests this level may eventually give way. As such, we continue to observe dollar appreciation that contradicts both the global fundamental picture and even the short-term technical setup. It's worth noting that nearly all …

Analysis of Thursday's Trades: 1H Chart of the EUR/USD Pair On Thursday, the EUR/USD currency pair showed no notable movements. There were practically no movements, and volatility continues to reach record lows day after day. While at the beginning of the week we observed a very weak but still downward movement, on Wednesday and Thursday the trend was sideways. This indicates that the market has essentially "died." Today, however, it might come back to life, as this is the first day of the week with at least some macroeconomic data releases. Therefore, volatility is expected to increase. Unfortunately, a flat trend persists on the daily time frame, which remains the…

Friday Trade Analysis:1H EUR/USD Chart The EUR/USD currency pair continued its downward movement on Friday and may break through the ascending trend line as early as today. The euro has been falling for three consecutive days now, which is somewhat puzzling. Most recent data and news have not been negative for the euro or particularly positive for the dollar. The pair began its decline last Wednesday evening, right after the Fed announced the dovish results of its meeting. The fall continued through Thursday and Friday, driven in part by strong pressure on the pound sterling due to renewed budget and debt issues in the UK. However, this process should come to an end s…

Thursday Trade Review: 1H GBP/USD Chart The GBP/USD pair also continued its downward movement on Thursday — both before and after Jerome Powell's speech, in which he said essentially nothing new. Still, the market doesn't seem to need any real reasons to sell right now. Just a few days ago, the pound was showing flat-like behavior, so the irrational moves could have been forgiven. But now the pound is falling hard, and the reasons are, frankly, difficult to articulate — unless you fall back on the vague "rise in risk-off sentiment." In any case, the current movement is entirely irrational, and it's important to acknowledge that. There were no meaningful events in the…
