The U.S. dollar sharply weakened against all major currencies—and with good reason. Economists are sounding the alarm: Trump's announcement of potential 100% tariffs on Chinese goods immediately sent ripples through the currency market. The dollar experienced a sharp drop, which is bound to have significant implications for the global economy. Traders, concerned about the unpredictable consequences of a renewed trade war, rushed to shift assets into more stable currencies and gold. The statements also demonstrate once again that Trump has not softened his stance on tariffs and continues to argue that the U.S. is losing money to China. In response, Chinese authorities have…

A crypto analyst has sparked fresh discussions on X social media after pointing out an eerie similarity between the current XRP price structure and its 2017 setup. Back then, the cryptocurrency experienced a sudden flash crash on Binance, dropping from $0.36 to $0.001 before soaring tens of thousands of percent to its all-time highs just weeks later. XRP Mirrors Flash Crash Setup From 2017 A new technical analysis by a crypto market expert known as ‘Guy on the Earth’ on X recalls December 2017, when XRP faced an alleged rug pull moment from Binance, which sent its price into a sharp, temporary collapse before igniting one of the most powerful bull runs in its history. Hi…

The GBP/USD pair has been under pressure since mid-September, following the unexpectedly dovish outcome of the Bank of England's September meeting. While pound buyers have launched regular counterattacks, their short-term victories have mostly been fueled by U.S. dollar weakness rather than genuine pound strength. To recap briefly, last month the Bank of England held interest rates steady but signaled a readiness to lower them in the near future. The central bank notably softened its tone, stating that the disinflationary trend "continues overall." Moreover, contrary to the expectations of most analysts, the Monetary Policy Committee voted 0–2–7 (zero for a hike, two …

Just as the market began to speculate that the US and China might finally reach an agreement on the new issue related to rare earth metals, Trump and Xi have sparked a new confrontation. It became known that China has imposed restrictions on five American subsidiaries of Hanwha Ocean in response to US investigations into China's maritime, logistics, and shipbuilding industries. After Trump indicated that he was ready to make a deal with Beijing, US Vice President J.D. Vance stated that the outcome would depend on China's reaction. Beijing's response did not take long. The Chinese Foreign Ministry quickly made it clear that China's next steps would depend on Washington's …

The digital asset market is shifting fast, and both Solana and Bitcoin are again in focus. Analysts expect a rebound across the top altcoins, with MAGACOIN FINANCE also drawing attention as traders seek fresh opportunities after the recent pullback. Solana Price Prediction: Can SOL Hold the $217 Level? Solana price sits near $217, a key level that traders are watching closely. The coin has pulled back after recent gains but remains inside its longer-term rising structure. A clean reaction above $217 could set up a return toward $230–$235, which has acted as a ceiling for weeks. Analysts note that defending this area keeps Solana’s broader uptrend alive. If buyers take …

Canadian explorer Loncor Gold (TSX: LN) agreed to be acquired by Chengtun Mining Group for about $261 million cash in a deal that will hand control of a major gold project in the Democratic Republic of Congo to a deep-pocketed Chinese operator.

Aya Gold & Silver (TSX: AYA) saw double-digit gains on Wednesday for a near all-time high after reporting strong results for the third quarter of 2025, marked by record silver production. During the three months ending Sept. 30, the company produced 1.3 million oz. of the white-colored metal, representing a 29% increase over the previous quarter. The improvement, says Aya, was driven by higher throughput and improved grades at its flagship Zgounder mine in Morocco. For the June-Sept quarter, the Zgounder mill processed on average 3,326 tonnes of material per day, an 11% improvement over Q2 2025, and ran 23% above nameplate capacity. The average head grade also…

Ethereum price started a fresh decline from the $4,700 zone. ETH is now showing bearish signs and might gain bearish momentum if it declines below $4,400. Ethereum is still struggling to settle above the $4,630 zone. The price is trading below $4,550 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There was a break below a bullish trend line with support at $4,550 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken).

Asia Market Wrap - Nikkei Arrests Two-Day Slide Most Read: GBP/USD Technical: Sterling torpedoed by spike in 30-year gilt yield, watch the 1.3315/3280 key support The Asian session saw muted trade this morning as market participants waited for the U.S. markets on Wall Street to open after their long holiday weekend. In Japan, the Nikkei recovered after two successive days of losses. Investor confidence was boosted by two main factors: the hope that the U.S. Federal Reserve will cut interest rates soon, and strong sales reports from Japanese department stores. It was an up-and-down day of trading. The Nikkei was down at one point, but it recovered to finish the day …

Ethereum is facing a pivotal moment as it struggles to hold above the $4,400 level after several days of heavy volatility and persistent selling pressure. The market’s recent downturn has put bulls on the defensive, with the threat of a deeper correction looming if support levels give way. Despite the uncertainty, Ethereum continues to attract significant interest from large investors, reinforcing the narrative of long-term confidence in the asset. Capital rotation between Ethereum and Bitcoin remains one of the defining themes of this market cycle. While Bitcoin has shown signs of weakness following its recent highs, Ethereum has benefited as institutions and whales sh…

The Ethereum price continues to test investors’ patience as it consolidates just beneath critical resistance levels. A crypto analyst has labeled this stretch a “loading at prior high phase,” suggesting that the market is stuck in this area. Currently, bulls are eyeing a decisive breakout above $5,000, but the analyst remains torn about whether ETH is merely pausing before another surge or setting up for a deeper retest. Ethereum Price Loading Phase Likely Short-Lived A market expert identified as ‘Crypto Nova’ has characterized Ethereum’s current price behaviour as a loading phase taking place near previous highs. Looking at the monthly chart, ETH has reportedly climb…

Data from multiple blockchain trackers shows that Coinbase has drastically cut its XRP holdings, a move that has taken many crypto investors by surprise. Analysts say such a huge reduction points to large outflows from institutional investors, but others have gone further by alleging manipulation. However, pro-XRP lawyer Bill Morgan has poured cold water on these claims. Rumors Of Coinbase Manipulation Swirl On X US-based exchange Coinbase recently reduced its stash from more than 780 million XRP to just under 200 million in a matter of weeks. This translates to a 69% reduction in the exchange’s holdings since the second quarter of 2025, including a 57% plunge over the l…

To most people, nickels represent pocket change worth five cents. But in April 2008, a single 1926-S Buffalo nickel sold for $322,000 at auction. This was no coincidence, but rather a reflection of the coin’s exceptional rarity and condition. The 1926-S Buffalo nickel is the rarest regular-issue coin in the entire series, with fewer than 1,000 examples surviving today in all grades combined. While some Buffalo nickels trade for face value, others command astronomical premiums. This guide reveals which dates to look for, their key traits, and the history behind their rarity. What Makes the Buffalo Nickel Special The Buffalo nickel series combines artistic achievement with…

How do retirement account withdrawals affect my Social Security taxes? Quick take: This guide explains how retirement withdrawals affect Social Security taxes via provisional income thresholds, timing, and account type—plus tactics to legally reduce the tax bite. Key takeaways Provisional income determines if up to 50%–85% of benefits become taxable. Traditional IRA/401(k) withdrawals raise AGI and can trigger taxation of benefits. Roth IRA withdrawals (qualified) are not included in AGI and don’t raise provisional income. Timing matters: spreading withdrawals and coordinating with RMDs can lower taxes. Plan ahead with conversions, QCDs, and drawdown sequencing to manag…

Bitcoin price is currently at a critical juncture, sitting right on top of the Bull Market Support Band. Throughout past bull cycles, this band has historically served as a crucial support level, with price retesting it during corrections and bouncing off it to continue its upward trend.

This level has long been regarded as one of the most reliable high-timeframe momentum indicators. Daan Crypto Trades noted that while Bitcoin has seen short-term consolidatio…

The dollar has stabilized ahead of the release of important US inflation data, starting today with the producer price inflation (PPI) report, and to be followed tomorrow by consumer inflation figures (CPI). How might these affect the dollar and the financial markets overall? Recall that the market already has well-founded expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates in response to the extremely challenging situation in the labor market. It is assumed that the key rate will be cut by 0.25% as a matter of course, but there remains a significant probability—currently at 8%—of a 0.50% cut. For the most part, a 0.25% cut is already priced into the value of US …

During the day, the US dollar ceded ground to the euro, the pound, and other risk assets at the end of last week. However, this did not lead to a major shift in the balance of power in the market. A sharp drop in the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index weakened the US dollar. The index, which tracks consumer expectations regarding the economy, fell to 55 points. This raised concerns about a potential decrease in consumer spending in the future, putting pressure on the dollar. Lower consumer confidence also heightened fears of a possible slowdown in US economic growth. Consumer spending is a key driver of the American economy, and its decline could negatively i…

Trade Review and Advice on Trading the EuroThe first test of the 1.1712 price occurred when the MACD indicator had already moved well below the zero mark, which limited the pair's downside potential. For this reason, I did not sell the euro. The second test of this price occurred when the MACD entered the oversold area, enabling the implementation of buy scenario #2 and resulting in a 20-pip rise for the pair. Last Friday, the US dollar came under pressure due to an unexpected drop in the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index. This indicator, which reflects the public's outlook on economic conditions, fell to a level of 55 (versus a forecasted rise to 58), spark…

The US dollar finally breaks its range ahead of Wednesday's FOMC as market participants keep placing their pre-Meeting bets. After holding between 97.50 to 98.50 since August 11th, the Dollar Index has failed to hold support to start this week to regain lows reached in the previous week's downward fakeout. With Equities rallying to their continued highs, hopes for a dovish cut are extremely optimistic which could lead to some furious reactions. This move notably weakening the US Dollar also assisted majors like the British Pound and the Aussie to reach new highs. As a matter of fact, despite the odds for 50 bps retracting from 10% to 4% since Thursday, the US dollar s…

The U.S. dollar continued to lose ground actively, which comes as no surprise. The market is increasingly convinced that the Federal Reserve will be forced to act more dovishly, which undermines dollar buyers' confidence. This morning, the eurozone and Germany will release ZEW business sentiment indices, the ZEW current conditions index for Germany, and eurozone industrial production figures. These reports will be important indicators of the region's economic health, helping assess business confidence and industrial sector dynamics.
