Log in to today's North American session Market wrap for October 16 US stocks fell on Thursday, adding to a week of unstable trading, as new concerns about the quality of bank loans made investors nervous about the overall health of the financial market. The initial market gains, which were driven by another positive forecast for Artificial Intelligence (AI) demand, quickly disappeared after two regional banks, Zions Bancorp (down 13%) and Western Alliance Bancorp (down 11%), announced they had to write off bad loans. This revived old worries about hidden weaknesses in the banking system, coming shortly after the collapse of auto lender Tricolor Holdings had already force…

Thumzup Media Corp. is pushing ahead with plans to let creators receive payments in Dogecoin (DOGE), as new data shows the meme token has slipped in recent days even amid renewed institutional interest. Based on reports, the firm’s strategy includes a $2.5 million loan to DogeHash for mining expansion, and a treasury holding of 7.5 million DOGE, while regulatory and adoption challenges still loom. Thumzup Prepares DOGE Payouts According to company-adjacent sources, Thumzup intends to offer Dogecoin as an alternative payout option, alongside fiat or other crypto choices, once pilot testing and legal reviews are done. The $2.5 million infusion into DogeHash Technologies…

XRP is still looking to confirm a strong bounce in price action after a crash that saw it register a huge bearish wick over the weekend, and many analysts are anticipating its next major move. According to technical analysis by crypto analyst HovWaves, XRP’s recent crash and bounce could be the early stage of a broader rally that positions its price for a run to as high as $8. XRP Finds Support And Rebounds Over 50% Technical analysis of XRP’s price action on the weekly timeframe, which was posted on the social media platform X by HovWaves, noted that the cryptocurrency got the move down into our support level for the expanded flat he was following. This is in referenc…

The September employment report came out unexpectedly strong, with the total number of new jobs increasing by 60,000—a significant figure for Canada and well above the forecast of 5,000. Average wage growth remained unchanged at 3.6%, as did the unemployment rate. At the same time, the number of hours worked fell by 0.2% month-over-month, with quarterly growth totaling just 0.4%, which gives reason to expect weak GDP growth for the third quarter. Nonetheless, the September figures noticeably outperformed the weak data from August, and the Bank of Canada will have to take this into account when formulating its next steps. The upcoming meeting is scheduled for the end of th…

The euro has done what it had to—survive not one, but two votes of no confidence. First, the French government fended off a challenge from the left, then from the right. The yield spread between French and German bonds changed very little, and EUR/USD pulled back slightly from local highs. Was the old "buy the rumor, sell the fact" principle at play? Credit Agricole believes otherwise. According to the bank, all the negative news has already been priced into the euro, and there is strong demand from non-residents around the $1.15 area to hedge currency risk through selling U.S. dollars. French-German Bond Yield Spread Dynamics Sebastien Lecornu remains in power. First, 27…

On Thursday, the EUR/USD pair is testing the key resistance level of 1.1660, which corresponds to the middle line of the Bollinger Bands indicator on the weekly (W1) timeframe. The pair is climbing steadily, and not solely due to the broad weakness of the U.S. dollar. The euro is also playing its part, responding positively to recent political developments in France. But first, let's address a key question—why is the dollar weakening? Not long ago, the U.S. dollar was in strong demand as a safe-haven asset, but over the last three days, the U.S. Dollar Index has been on a consistent decline. Major dollar pairs have shifted accordingly. In particular, EUR/USD sellers …

The Japanese yen has recovered intraday losses that were previously driven by domestic political instability in Japan. The ruling coalition between the Liberal Democratic Party and Komeito collapsed, creating uncertainty as newly appointed Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi seeks support for confirming her leadership. The strategy remains consistent—continue the economic stimulus policies of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, focusing on aggressive fiscal spending and accommodative monetary measures, while simultaneously strengthening the yen's role as a haven currency amid global geopolitical instability. On the U.S. side, international trade tensions have escalated sharply. T…

Donald Trump's pressure campaign on Russia is expanding. The U.S. president recently demanded that India halt purchases of Russian oil and gas in an attempt to cut off funding for the war in Ukraine. Frankly, that formulation of the demand raises questions—particularly Trump's proclaimed desire to end the war in Ukraine. There's little doubt that the U.S. leader wants to see the conflict resolved, but seemingly not for the sake of long-awaited peace. Rather, he aims to solidify his status as a globally recognized politician of historic importance. Trump wants to go down in history. There's nothing inherently wrong with that motive, but his methods for achieving a ceasefir…

"China is an adversary of the entire world." This statement, made on Wednesday evening by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, highlights the escalating tensions surrounding China. The controversy has intensified over the past week following Beijing's decision to tighten controls on the export of rare-earth metals. It remains unclear whether these "sanctions" will apply solely to the U.S. or to the global market. However, it is important to note that China leads the world in rare-earth metal production. According to Trump and Bessent, this gives Beijing the power to hold the entire world economy hostage. Secretary Bessent stated that tightening export controls on rare-e…

Bitcoin slipped below three-day Ichimoku cloud support on Wednesday, prompting market technician Dr Cat (@DoctorCatX) to flag the first decisive warning for bulls while outlining a tight sequence of conditional signals into month-end. Sharing a chart on X, he wrote: “Bulls finally lost the 3D kumo support which is the first clear red flag to look for.” He cautioned that the breakdown does not guarantee a straight-line slide, adding that “the kumo is very thick here which means the price can be very spiky/turbulent and even further down moves may be ‘bumpy’ for bears with bounces etc…” Why Bitcoin’s Next Bull Window Opens October 31 The analyst framed the next tests throu…

The cryptocurrency market extended its slide on Thursday, with Bitcoin price briefly falling under $110,000 before regaining some ground. CoinGecko data showed that the Bitcoin price dropped to $107,500 from $110,400, representing a decline of 3% in the past 24 hours. Market Cap 24h 7d 30d 1y All Time Most major altcoins followed the same path. Nine of the top ten non-stablecoin assets traded lower, losing between -0.9% to -5.3%. The drop came after a surge in Bitcoin transfers from miners to exchanges, hinting at mounting selling pressure. Just a few…

The 200-week moving average is one of the most critical macro indicators for Bitcoin, serving as the definitive divide between bear market capitulation and long-term accumulation. While BTC’s price movements are notorious for their sudden, dramatic swings, history shows that the 200 WMA technical indicator has stood out with remarkable consistency. How The 200 WMA Has Defined Every Bitcoin Cycle Luke Broyles, an observer of Bitcoin’s market cycles, has noted on X that BTC has been screaming buy all 5 times that it hit the 200 WMA. This track record leads many to ask if they should hold a lump sum on the sidelines until that hits. Broyles acknowledges that while BTC has…

XRP is facing renewed pressure this week after the Oct. 10 flash crash triggered record liquidations across the crypto market. The token plunged nearly 40% intraday before rebounding, now hovering between $2.20 and $2.60 as traders assess what’s next. Despite heavy whale selling and lingering volatility, market analysts insist that “this week could change everything” for XRP, with key ETF decisions and regulatory milestones approaching that could redefine its long-term outlook. Flash-Crash Fallout: Liquidations, Whale Flows, and Key Support XRP was swept up in the Oct. 10 crypto “flash crash,” sliding intraday by 40% before rebounding to a monthly loss near 20%. The…

EUR/USD 5-Minute Chart Analysis On Thursday, the EUR/USD currency pair showed a volatility of about 40 pips. There were no movements throughout the day, offering nothing to trade. There were also no significant events in either the Eurozone or the U.S. As for Christine Lagarde's speeches, they no longer qualify as market-moving events. Over the last three weeks, Lagarde has spoken around ten times. Her message has been consistent: the European Central Bank sees no reason to change its monetary policy in the near future. Accordingly, traders had no reason to react, and no new impulses appeared. Still, the pair maintained its newly formed upward trend, did not retreat, …

GBP/USD 5-Minute Chart Analysis The GBP/USD currency pair also showed limited volatility on Thursday, though it continued to edge higher—slowly but steadily. Clearly, the British pound and market bulls still have energy to spare. Over recent weeks, buyers have been largely inactive despite having solid reasons to support the pound at least occasionally. Across the Atlantic, news from the U.S. continues to disappoint. Meanwhile, the U.K. has released a batch of macroeconomic data this week, some of which could have justified a GBP sell-off. From our perspective, the fact that the pound continued rising despite mediocre reports is a strong signal. From a technical stand…

The EUR/USD currency pair continued a moderate upward movement on Wednesday, as expected. Let us recall that the recent decline in the pair over the past few weeks seemed illogical, as the fundamental and macroeconomic background for the U.S. dollar has only worsened during this period. Of course, we're not suggesting everything is going perfectly in Europe or the U.K., but in 2025, the United States has been setting records for the number of negative developments. As such, even the dollar's recent strengthening defied the underlying fundamentals. On the daily timeframe, two clear things stand out: first, the upward trend is intact; second, the market has been in a sidewa…

The GBP/USD currency pair continued its upward movement on Thursday, as expected. At this point, discussing the fundamentals or macroeconomics doesn't hold much weight. First, the GBP/USD pair remains within a sideways channel on the daily timeframe. This means price can move hundreds of points in either direction without any specific catalyst, which is precisely what we've seen in recent weeks. Second, there's nothing new or positive happening globally for the U.S. dollar. Trump continues to issue threats, start conflicts, impose tariffs and sanctions, and try to force his views on the entire world. Third, the longer-term upward trend remains in place, and there are no c…

On-chain data shows key investors on the Bitcoin network have collectively participated in some selling recently, a potential reason behind the asset’s decline. Bitcoin Sharks & Whales Have Done Some Net Distribution According to data from on-chain analytics firm Santiment, Bitcoin’s key investor tier is starting to show signs of slight profit-taking. The indicator of interest here is the “Supply Distribution,” which measures the total amount of the supply that investors belonging to a particular wallet segment are currently holding. Addresses or holders are divided into these groups based on the number of tokens present in their balance. The 1 to 10 coins cohort, …

Lawmakers in Florida are looking to give the state a new kind of financial tool. A new proposal would allow pension funds and other public investment pools to put money into bitcoin and crypto exchange-traded funds. If passed, the state’s Chief Financial Officer and the State Board of Administration would be able to allocate up to 10 percent of these funds into digital assets. It’s a notable shift for a state that has typically stuck to traditional investment strategies. Jimmy Patronis Makes the First Move The push is being led by Jimmy Patronis, Florida’s CFO and Fire Marshal. He sent a formal request asking the State Board of Administration to take a serious look at bi…

Ripple has just bought GTreasury, a long-established treasury management firm, in a deal worth $1 billion. This is Ripple’s third major acquisition in 2025, and it sends a clear signal that the company wants to move deeper into the world of corporate finance. The move is aimed at giving businesses better tools to manage cash flow, track liquidity, handle risk, and stay on top of compliance. As more finance teams start dealing with stablecoins, tokenized deposits, and other crypto assets, Ripple sees an opportunity to meet that demand with infrastructure that bridges the gap between digital and traditional finance. Inside GTreasury and What Ripple Is Getting GTreasury is…

Solana is taking a breather after a strong rally, now testing the crucial $195 support zone. Traders are watching closely to see if the bulls can defend this level and set the stage for a potential comeback. Solana Begins A Healthy Pullback After Recent Rally In a recent update, BitGuru highlighted that Solana (SOL) appears to be entering a healthy pullback phase following a sharp rally and partial recovery. This retracement is part of a natural market rhythm, allowing the asset to cool off after its recent burst of bullish momentum. Such pauses often serve as a foundation for more sustainable future growth, rather than signaling weakness. While SOL’s price is hovering…

Ethereum price struggled to stay above $4,020 and dipped further. ETH is now consolidating in a range and might decline further if there is a move below $3,820.

GBP/USD On Thursday, the British pound gained over 30 pips on a rebound from the MACD line support. This morning, the pound remains in a positive mood; however, the Marlin oscillator is now approaching the zero line. If no profit-taking occurs today, the pound has every chance to continue its advance toward the 1.3525 target. If the day ends with a bearish (black) candle, the technical picture may become muddled within the psychological cycle of market anticipation ahead of the Fed meeting on October 29. It is also worth noting that the support level of 1.3369 and the MACD line at 1.3393 currently form a support range of 24 pips. Breaking below this zone will be difficul…
