Bitcoin is gradually regaining its footing after a brief pause in its upward momentum. At the time of writing, the asset is trading above $118,000, reflecting a 10% increase over the past month. Despite this modest recovery, Bitcoin remains approximately 3.1% below its all-time high, which was reached earlier this month. The current market phase suggests a period of cautious recalibration, as traders assess the sustainability of the latest price movements amid fluctuating on-chain and exchange metrics. One of CryptoQuant’s QuickTake contributors, Darkfost, has drawn attention to a key trend among short-term Bitcoin holders. According to his analysis, on-chain traders, t…

Bitcoin is entering a critical phase, preparing for a decisive move that will determine its short-term trajectory. After weeks of volatility and record-breaking highs, BTC now faces a pivotal test — it must either reclaim its all-time highs and enter a new phase of price discovery, or continue its correction to establish a stronger base of consolidation around current levels. The market appears finely balanced, with traders watching closely for signs of direction. Recent onchain data highlights a surge in new buyers, marking one of the strongest inflows of fresh capital seen in months. This trend suggests renewed bullish momentum, as investors increasingly view Bitcoin’…

Choosing the right type of physical gold or other precious metals is an important step for anyone preparing for retirement.

Understanding the Difference: Bullion vs. Collectible Coins Retirement-focused investors often hear about both newly minted bullion and collectible coins, but these two categories serve different purposes.

Should I continue investing aggressively if I won’t spend all my wealth? Many retirees with substantial savings face an unusual choice. If you know you will never spend all your wealth, should you keep investing aggressively in retirement, shift toward balance, or focus on preservation? The best answer depends on your goals, your tolerance for risk, and the legacy you want to leave. Executive Summary Investing aggressively in retirement can grow wealth for heirs or charities, but it also brings volatility. On the other hand, a conservative approach offers stability yet limits growth. A balanced strategy—covering essential expenses with safe assets and letting the rest co…

Many retirees reach a point where their home no longer fits their lifestyle, budget, or long-term goals. Downsizing can free up significant cash, reduce monthly expenses, and create breathing room in retirement. The key question is how to make sure the equity you unlock continues to work for you, especially in an environment where inflation, market volatility, and a weakening dollar can quickly erode purchasing power. Converting a portion of those funds into physical gold and other precious metals through a self-directed Gold IRA can offer a dependable foundation for long-term financial security. The Rising Cost of Retirement and Why Downsizing Is on the Table Retirees f…

Many pre-retirees wonder whether it makes sense to draw from their retirement savings before claiming Social Security. This decision can shape how well your income keeps pace with inflation, how much market volatility you expose yourself to, and how confidently you enter retirement. For many Americans who want stability and long-term protection, incorporating physical gold and other precious metals into a retirement strategy can provide an essential anchor during those early transition years. Understanding the Timing Question: Retirement Savings vs. Social Security Choosing when to start Social Security is one of the most important decisions pre-retirees make, and it oft…

Private Equity for Retirees: Should You Add It to Savings? Executive Summary Private equity for retirees can add long-term growth and a layer of diversification beyond public markets. However, it demands patience, higher fees, and a healthy cash buffer. For many households, a small, carefully chosen slice can help; for others, liquid and transparent holdings remain the smarter fit. This guide shows when PE belongs in a retirement plan, how to size it, and how to evaluate options without risking financial security. What Is Private Equity? A Plain-English Definition Private equity (PE) is simply owning pieces of companies that don’t trade on public exchanges. Managers …

Should You Use Separate IRAs for Beneficiaries? Executive Summary: For many families, separate IRAs for beneficiaries make taxes, withdrawals, and investments easier to manage. You gain independent control but accept extra paperwork, strict titling, and hard deadlines. This guide explains what separate accounts are, when they help, when a pooled approach is fine, and how to split the account correctly. What “Separate IRAs for Beneficiaries” Actually Means When an IRA owner dies, the account passes to the named beneficiaries. The heirs can keep everything in one inherited IRA or divide the funds into separate IRAs for beneficiaries, one account per share. The split happ…

Sibanye-Stillwater (JSE: SSW, NYSE: SBSW) has agreed to pay $215 million to settle a dispute with Appian Capital Advisory over its cancelled purchase of two of the firm’s Brazilian assets. In October 2021, Sibanye announced the proposed acquisition of Atlantic Nickel and Mineração Vale Verde from Appian for a combined total of $1 billion. However, it abruptly walked away from the deal just three months later, citing a dislocation in a pit wall at Atlantic Nickel’s Santa Rita mine. Appian did not accept the withdrawal, and in February 2022, it took legal action against Sibanye in the High Court of London seeking damages in excess of $1.2 billion, which comprises th…

Sigma Lithium (TSXV, NASDAQ: SGML) surged to a one-month high on Friday as investors welcomed its second-quarter production increase and cost reduction despite missing analyst expectations for earnings.

After nearly five years of dormancy, a cluster of Silk Road–linked wallets just moved 33.7 Bitcoin—roughly $3 million—in a sudden on-chain resurgence that immediately brought the BTC price back into focus. While the volume is modest, the combination of its origin, timing, and institutional destination gives it an outsized narrative impact. With Bitcoin already navigating a fragile price range, this development raises concerns about renewed downward pressure. The 33.7 BTC Silk Road BTC Transfer And Its Potential Impact On Bitcoin’s Price The movement began with a series of small outputs originating from early-era Silk Road addresses, all using the old “1…” legacy format. …

Precious metals are having a rough day – As a matter of fact, most of the outperforming asset classes since April or even beginning 2025 are seeing strong profit-taking flows. The dynamics of this year were evolving on outflows from the US Dollar into a fast-evolving Tech-sector and everything linked to it, comprising Cryptocurrencies (which also promise to offer an edge against fiat, US Dollar influences). Another one of the themes was a de-globalization trend, with participants betting heavily on precious metals to bypass a more divided global trade. This had led to a great performance of Gold, also dragging other metals higher like Platinum and the subject of today'…

The most recent moves in the US Dollar may have mean-reverted in Forex markets, but the same can't be said about precious metals. They had been subject to some selling pressure ahead of the Jackson Hole Symposium but a conjunction of a dovish interpretation of FED Chair Jerome Powell's speech and growing concerns about the Federal Reserve's independance have brought demand back. A former Board member of the FED (able to vote at every FOMC meeting), Lisa Cook has recently been fired by President Trump "For cause" – She had been appointed by President Biden in 2022 and has been dissenting for rate cuts; but the reasoning has been valid with the growing inflation concerns …

Boasting a remarkable gain of 5.38% yesterday, silver prices have retraced somewhat in today’s session, owing to natural profit-taking and better-than-expected US labor data. XAG/USD currently trades around ~34.55350 per troy ounce, down -0.60% for the day. XAG/USD: Key Takeaways Failing to find support around ~99.131, a weaker U.S. dollar (DXY) made way for massive silver gains in yesterday’s session, representing the metal’s best daily performance since October of last year Silver has retraced from its highs in today’s session as markets look to secure profits alongside a positive JOLTS report, beating consensus by 290,000 million job openings …

Our preceding analysis on Silver could not have been more wrong. With the FOMC approaching and bouts of up-and-down action across all metals, what we thought to be a temporary top leading to a potential range was, in fact, just a retracement. And that retracement was an opportunity not lost on Silver traders: a stark run during month-end trading took the precious metal to new record highs, grazing the $58.85 level. The dovish repricing for the Fed's December 10 Meeting—main catalyst of the renewed "everything-rally" (or Debasement Trade) seen throughout stocks in the past week—was fuel for a sharp rally across the entire metals complex. …

Silver (XAG/USD) has stalled its gigantic rally higher as a more hawkish Fed pricing and lower economic projections have effectively brought a top to the precious industrial metal. After forming a clear double top at its all-time highs of $54.50, Silver retraced lower to just graze below the psychological $50 mark. Still, the metal's resilience to correct lower suggests that the underlying dovish catalysts haven't entirely disappeared. NY Fed President John Williams recently revived hopes for a 25 basis point cut, pushing the odds for the December meeting back up to around 70%. This pricing was further consolidated by a raft of weak data released this morning: PPI …

Most Read: Amazon (AMZN) Earnings: Growth Drivers, AI Investments, and Market Outlook Silver prices have fallen around 4.5% over the last two trading days as a resurgent US Dollar and weaker haven flows weigh on prices. The US Dollar remains strong, and rising US bond yields are limiting any chance of recovery for now. The Dollar’s strength is driven by hawkish comments from Fed Chair Jerome Powell, along with strong US GDP and job data. These factors support the Federal Reserve’s cautious stance on monetary policy and reduce expectations for rate cuts in the near future. Now Silver's extended rally this year was down to a combination of factors. Those include safe ha…

The run in Silver prices has been nothing short of extraordinary. Since the start of the year, the metal has surged more than 80%, with most of the move unfolding after Powell’s late-August speech at Jackson Hole (+37% in a 44-day span). Having broken its 2011 record highs of $49.81, Silver now trades comfortably above $50, and definitely cementing its seat as one of the most explosive rally in more than a decade. Beyond speculation, Silver’s industrial demand — particularly in photovoltaic panels, EVs and advanced electronics — is driving the squeeze. Supply issues are mounting, with growing fears that the metal’s rarity could lead to some disastrous developments fo…

This article is a follow-up to the article written on July 31, 2025 titled Silver (XAG/USD) Price: Down 1.5% as Trendline Break Hints at Deeper Correction Silver prices have retraced following the initial selloff last week. Friday's US jobs data has obviously been extensively discussed, but that was the end of the initial bearish run for silver prices. Since Friday Silver has risen around 3% but for now the bearish trend remains intact. The concern is that US rate cut expectations continue to ramp up. This continued today with news that Trump advisers are to push for a temporary Fed governor to fill the seat of resigned Fed Kugler. A short-term Fed pick would give Tru…

Silver prices continue to soar to unprecedented highs with questions being asked about the reason for the rally. Well in all honesty there have been a host of reasons cited as a driving force, all of them may be true to some degree. The most popular ones which have been discussed at length include rate cut expectations from the Federal Reserve, the ongoing supply/demand deficit in physical silver, and of course the price of silver being cheap in comparison to Gold. One of the reasons which has really come to the fore recently is the shortage of physical silver which has led to a big premium for physical silver as well. Recent, widely reported incidents have exposed so…
