The wave pattern on the 4-hour chart for EUR/USD has transformed, but overall remains quite clear. There is no talk of canceling the upward trend segment that began in January 2025, but the wave structure since July 1 has become significantly more complex and extended. In my view, the instrument has completed the formation of corrective wave 4, which took a very unconventional form. Inside this wave, we saw exclusively corrective structures, so there was no doubt regarding the corrective nature of the decline. In my opinion, the formation of the upward trend segment is not complete, and its targets may extend up to the 1.25 level. The a-b-c-d-e wave series appears finishe…

Traders pushed SOL up about 5%, with the token trading close to $140 during the initial move.

As Bitcoin (BTC) tries to hold the $90,000 barrier, some analysts affirm that the flagship crypto’s bear market signals are becoming clearer, suggesting that a breakdown to new lows could be around the corner. Bitcoin Bear Flag Raises Concerns On Friday, Bitcoin shredded its Thursday gains, dropping 3.2% intraday to retest the $89,500-$90,500 support zone once again. The cryptocurrency has been trading between the $84,500-$94,500 range for the past four weeks, briefly falling to a seven-month low of $80,600 during the late November correction. This week, the flagship crypto’s price has seen more volatility, fueled by the expectations of the Federal Reserve’s interest r…

XRP has struggled to create any upside traction over the past few days, with the price rejecting above $2.15 in the middle of the week and now back to lingering just above the $2 level. A new long-term technical comparison shared by crypto analyst ChartNerd places XRP’s price behavior since its July all-time high of $3.65 into an interesting context, implying that what XRP is doing now resembles a phase from its 2016 market cycle that points to an incoming huge rally. Repeating 2016 Rejection And ABC Crash Structure According to crypto analyst ChartNerd, XRP’s current structure matches a similar price action that unfolded in late 2016. when price rejected an accumulat…

The price action of Bitcoin has been somewhat limited in the past few weeks, as the bulls and bears battle for dominance in the market. This indecisiveness has had the premier cryptocurrency oscillating between the $89,000 and $93,000 levels in recent weeks. According to the latest on-chain data, this sideways movement exhibited by the Bitcoin price is associated with the uneven distribution of the coin’s total supply around various levels. This recent on-chain evaluation has also identified the possible next stop for the market leader’s price. BTC Price At Risk Of A 20% Decline? In a December 13 post on the X platform, pseudonymous analyst Darkfost explained that the …

A mining company based in Utah says it has discovered a massive deposit of rare earths and several other critical minerals — one that could become one of North America’s most significant shovel-ready projects. Ionic Mineral Technologies — also known as Ionic MT — revealed last week that assays from its fully permitted Silicon Ridge project in Utah confirmed it as a halloysite-hosted ion-adsorption clay (IAC) system, which, compared to the conventional “hard-rock” geological system, is easier to extract minerals from. According to the company, IAC represents the same geological formation that supplies approximately 35-40% of China’s total rare earth production and …

Veteran market trader Peter Brandt has reignited debate around XRP after issuing sharp remarks about the token’s most loyal supporters. Drawing from a career that spans more than five decades, Brandt grouped XRP alongside silver when describing markets where bullish belief often holds firm despite repeated price swings and long periods of disappointment. According to people familiar with his comments, Brandt grounded his criticism in personal trading history. He said he has handled thousands of contracts across commodities, equity benchmarks, and digital assets, and argued that the “perma bulls who I find most uneducated and biased are those who trumpet Silver and XRP,”…

Many market participants viewed the week as an important test for the dollar. Essentially, it was a test. However, it did not hinge solely on the Federal Reserve meeting and the easily predictable interest rate decision. Instead, it was about the market's reaction itself. Recall that after the last two rounds of monetary policy easing, new downward waves followed. A downward wave in instruments like EUR/USD (or GBP/USD) means a strengthening of the U.S. currency. Therefore, if we had observed a new decline in both instruments on Wednesday and Thursday, it would have been clear that the market continues to play by its own rules. This time, however, demand for the U.S. doll…

Analysis of GBP/USD 5M The GBP/USD currency pair saw a slight downward correction on Friday, as shown on the hourly chart. The upward trend remains intact, as the British pound actively rose on Wednesday and Thursday. Thus, a small correction on the last day of the week was expected. Additionally, the British macroeconomic backdrop, as is often the case, left much to be desired. While industrial production volumes in October increased more than expected (by 1.1% instead of 0.7%), GDP for the same month came in at -0.1% against forecasts of +0.1%. Therefore, this set of reports cannot be regarded as entirely positive for the British pound, and it failed to support the …

The GBP/USD currency pair experienced a slight pullback on Friday after rising on Wednesday and Thursday, but overall, we can draw similar conclusions as for the EUR/USD pair. The defining moments will take place next week, not the previous one. Firstly, this is due to the macroeconomic data coming from the US. Secondly, it is related to the Bank of England meeting. Unlike the European Central Bank, the BoE has not succeeded in bringing inflation down to its target level, which is nearly the same across central banks at 2%. Inflation in the UK is almost double the target level, and assessing the trend based on a single report is considered inappropriate. Yes, last month t…

XRP price started a fresh decline below $2.00. The price is now struggling and faces resistance near the $2.020 resistance level. XRP price started a fresh decline below the $2.00 zone. The price is now trading below $2.00 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2.020 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The pair could continue to move down if it settles below $1.950. XRP Price Dips Again XRP price attempted a recovery wave above $2.120 but failed to continue higher, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price started a fresh decline below $2.050 and $2.020.

The euro and the British pound maintain their prospects for further gains against the US dollar. The Japanese yen appreciated significantly today, as traders believe the Bank of Japan will raise interest rates this week. Meanwhile, statements from Federal Reserve officials at the end of last week did not help the US dollar, so the chances of further growth in risk assets remain quite good. Traders are closely monitoring any signals that may indicate a change in the Fed's monetary policy, and in the absence of convincing arguments for maintaining a tight stance, the strengthening of risk assets may continue. Technical analysis also indicates potential for growth. The break…

Deal Analysis and Tips for Trading the Japanese YenThe test of the price level at 155.85 coincided with the MACD indicator beginning to move downward from the zero mark, confirming a good entry point to sell the dollar. However, after a decline of 10 pips, the pressure eased at the end of the week. The US dollar showed resilience against the Japanese yen at the end of last week amid cautious remarks from Federal Reserve officials. These statements essentially kept the possibility of further monetary policy easing open, although the timing of the next easing has become unclear. Meanwhile, the Japanese yen remains in demand, as was evident during today's Asian session. The …

Last week, there were some intriguing developments regarding several cryptocurrency companies. It was revealed that the US banking regulator (OCC) has conditionally approved applications from Ripple, Circle, BitGo, Paxos, and Fidelity Digital Assets to obtain the status of national trust banks. This decision could significantly alter the landscape of the crypto industry in the US. Achieving national trust bank status opens up a range of advantages for these companies, including the ability to interact directly with the Federal Reserve and reduced regulatory costs. Additionally, it greatly enhances their credibility with both institutional and retail investors. One key …

Hashdex is out with its 2026 crypto investment outlook, and the vibe is pretty clear: stop treating crypto like a weird side-bet and start treating it like… an allocation. The firm’s CIO Samir Kerbage says “most investors” should be thinking in the 5–10% range, framing it as a pragmatic response to a messier macro regime (sticky inflation risk, debt burdens, the 60/40 portfolio looking less like a law of nature and more like a historical artifact). Look, you can debate the exact number, but Hashdex’s point is that the underweight has become the active decision. Crypto is now “well above $3 trillion” in market cap and about 1% of the global investable market by its math—m…

Understanding Required Minimum Distributions and Their Impact on Retirement Savings Required Minimum Distributions, or RMDs, are mandatory withdrawals that apply to tax-deferred retirement accounts once you reach the age established by current IRS rules. They are calculated using your account balance and a life expectancy factor, which means the dollar amount generally increases over time. While you are always allowed to take more than the required amount, larger withdrawals can weaken long-term retirement stability because they remove principal that can never be replaced inside a tax-advantaged account. How RMDs Work for IRAs and 401(k)s RMDs apply to most traditional r…
