GreenRoc Mining Plc (AIM: GROC) jumped on Tuesday after the Greenland-focused critical minerals explorer secured a 30-year exploitation licence for its Amitsoq graphite project, paving the way for its production. Greenland’s business and mineral resources minister, Naaja Nathanielsen, signed off on the licence earlier this week, marking the third such permit granted by the Arctic island this year. “(The) exploitation licence is the result of focused political efforts to make Greenland more attractive for responsible investments, while seriously taking into account the concerns for people and the environment,” Nathanielsen said in a statement. Stefan Bernstein,…

Silver notched another record high on Tuesday as the precious metal continues to attract bids amid concerns over a market deficit. Spot silver rose as much as 3.6% to a new peak of $60.46 per ounce, keeping the momentum of a record-breaking that has lasted several weeks. Click on chart for live prices. Driving the surge was an unprecedented supply crunch after a historic squeeze hit the London market in October. Bloomberg data shows that Chinese inventories are now hovering at their lowest in a decade. Also behind the move was the expectation of a US interest rate cut this week, which would be positive for safe-haven assets such as gold and, by extension, si…

Anglo American (LON: AAL) and Teck Resources (TSX:TECK.A | TECK.B) announced Tuesday that its shareholders have approved the previously announced $53B merger at company’s general meetings. The all-stock, nil-premium $53-billion transaction, first announced in September, creates a major copper heavyweight, capable of production that could surpass BHP’s massive Escondida mine in Chile by the early 2030s, according to analysts. On Monday, Anglo dropped a proposal to change executive bonus awards from the agenda of Tuesday’s shareholder vote after investors objected to the plan. Anglo American noted the incentive plan was meant to support the deal and help ret…

At the conclusion of the Reserve Bank of Australia's December meeting, the central bank maintained all monetary policy parameters unchanged, including the interest rate at 3.6%. The central bank implemented the baseline, most-expected scenario; thus, initially, the Aussie declined across the market, including against the American currency. However, subsequent comments from RBA Governor Michele Bullock turned the AUD/USD pair around, and the price again tested the 0.6650 resistance level (the upper line of the Bollinger Bands indicator on the D1 timeframe). It is worth noting that ahead of the December meeting, traders had heightened hawkish expectations regarding the RB…

2025 has marked a rare moment in financial history—a time when two opposing asset classes have begun to rise simultaneously. Gold, traditionally a safe haven against risk, and stocks, symbolizing a bet on economic growth, have suddenly moved in the same direction. This unusual coincidence has prompted the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) to publicly warn the markets: we are witnessing "explosive behavior" in both asset categories—and this could mean much more than just a good year for investors. Such a combination contradicts the classic logic of financial markets, where gold rises when stocks fall and vice versa. Now, both curves are pointing upwards. The main co…

Critical Metals (Nasdaq: CRML) announced Tuesday it has executed the term-sheet for creating a 50%-50% joint venture (JV) with Romanian state-owned Fabrica de Prelucrare a Concentratelor de Uraniu (FPCU). Critical Metals’ Tanbreez project in Greenland is one of the world’s largest heavy and medium rare earth deposits. Last month, CRML signed a letter of intent with US-based rare earth processor REalloys for a ten-year offtake agreement covering 15% of production from the project. The FPCU term sheet provides CRML with long-term offtake rights for 50% of the entire Tanbreez concentrate production and outlines the development, financing, and commissioning to…

Bitcoin is currently holding steady, trading water around the critical $90,000 level as the market enters a period of high compression. With ETF inflows slowing down, the price lacks the momentum to break through overhead resistance. The highly anticipated FOMC meeting is expected to provide the necessary catalyst to end the current consolidation and dictate Bitcoin’s next major directional move. BTC Compression Intensifies: Scaling Back Intraday Scalps According to a recent update from Lennaert Snyder, Bitcoin continues to tighten within a compression phase. The market has been trading in an increasingly narrow range, signaling that a larger move is approaching. Snyder …

Cardano is back in the headlines after its privacy-focused sidechain, Midnight, secured a listing on Binance for its native token, NIGHT. The listing gained attention because NIGHT was featured on Binance Alpha’s front page and came with airdrop perks for eligible users. The move coincides with renewed momentum for ADA.

Bitcoin is holding above $90,000 as the market heads into a highly anticipated FOMC meeting, a moment that could define the next direction for risk assets. But while price action keeps traders on edge, on-chain indicators are painting a surprisingly different picture beneath the surface. According to a new CryptoQuant report by XWIN Research Japan, Bitcoin’s exchange reserves have continued to fall sharply throughout 2025, even as price corrected toward the $90K range. The data shows that the total amount of BTC held on centralized exchanges has dropped to 2.76 million BTC, reaching one of the lowest levels ever recorded. What makes this trend even more striking is its …

There are multiple factors behind the bullish price movements over the past few days. While sentiment remains uncertain among many traders, today’s FOMC meeting, at which a 25 bps rate cut is expected, will make even the most risk-averse investor bullish on crypto heading into 2026. Right now, the best crypto to buy is likely on the Solana chain, with the SOL ecosystem showing signs of life after a multi-month liquidity drain. Prominent Crypto Twitter trader @TedPillows said yesterday (December 9) that BTC appears to be mimicking the 2021 cycle, with a similar double-top structure and a similar bounce-back to the last bull run. He believes the chart indicates Bitcoin cou…

Crypto analyst Cryptollica published a new XRP/USD 2-week chart on December 8 via TradingView, arguing that the altcoin may be replaying the same structural pattern that preceded its explosive 2017 rally. With current price action pivoting around the key $1.95 level and technical targets projected as high as $9–$13. What Happens If XRP Repeats The 2017 Fractal? The analysis uses a long-range log chart from Binance, where the latest candle in the screenshot shows XRP trading around $2.0892. In this timeframe, the analyst divides XRP’s history into mirrored cycles: 2014–2017 on the left and 2021–2025 on the right, each broken into labeled segments “Part 1,” “Part 2” and “P…

The Panamanian government said on Wednesday the sale of more than 122,000 tonnes of copper concentrate stored at First Quantum Minerals’ (TSX: FM) idled Cobre Panama mine generated $29 million in royalties. Commerce Minister Julio Moltó said the money will fund urgent public works across the country, including upgrades to health centres, school expansions, road repairs and improvements to water and electrical systems. The minister oted the export of concentrate already on site was allowed under the Safe Preservation and Management Plan, which requires First Quantum to cover the mine’s $15-million-a-month maintenance bill. That cost has reached about $360 million since…

The Solana network has seen its validator count crash by more than 68% over the past three years, falling from thousands of active nodes to just around 800. The massive decline in validators has sparked discussions about whether this could become a threat to the blockchain network or a natural pruning of inactive nodes to increase efficiency. Solana loses 68% Of Its Validators In 3 Years A new report from Criptonocias reveals that Solana has experienced a dramatic decline in the number of its validators, active and non-active, since March 2023. This decrease has raised concerns across the crypto community about the network’s overall health and security. Over the last…

The Fed just cut rates by 25 bps – Neutral tone (neither dovish or hawkish) It was largely expected and the Fed doesn't like to surprise Markets, so they tend to follow pricing closely (or send out a message through Nick TImiraos just before in case they had a last-minute change of mind). You can get access to the detailed report right here: Breaking News: US Federal Reserve cuts rates by 25 bps, bringing target range to 3.50 - 3.75% There has been extra mentions of a US labor market getting weaker, but the Fed still made balanced remarks on their dual mandate, implying that they are still concerned with inflation. The dot plot suggests between 50 to 75 bps of cutting…

Ethereum has pushed above the $3,350 level, injecting fresh momentum into the market after weeks of uncertainty. Yet despite this breakout, overall sentiment remains clouded by fear, with many analysts still warning that the broader structure points toward a developing bear market. Traders now find themselves at a pivotal juncture: is this the beginning of a sustained recovery, or merely a temporary rally before further downside? According to a new CryptoQuant report, one of the most revealing indicators right now is Ethereum’s funding rate behavior across major exchanges. Unlike the explosive funding spikes seen during the two major rallies earlier this year, the curre…

History repeats itself. Literally, the last four days have been reminiscent of twin brothers. EUR/USD rose during the European session on positive signals from Europe, then fell during the U.S. session amid expectations of a "hawkish" Federal Reserve rate cut. The main currency pair increasingly resembles a compressed spring, ready to shoot off at any moment. Will Jerome Powell give the signal? According to Christine Lagarde, the European economy has proven to be much more resilient to Donald Trump's tariffs than previously assumed. The euro rose, even though skeptics argued that the import duties would weaken it. As a result, the European Central Bank will likely raise G…

Investor focus on Wednesday was on the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision and the subsequent press conference. A 0.25% interest rate cut is already priced in. However, market participants remain on alert, awaiting new hints regarding the Federal Reserve's future actions. Meanwhile, oil market participants are assessing the data from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) report, released on Wednesday. The EIA reported a reduction in US oil inventories of -1.812 million barrels in November, exceeding forecasts of -1.200 million barrels (after an increase of +0.574 million in October). However, this data did not have a positive impact on oil prices. Oil prices…

Vancouver-based Myriad Uranium (CSE: M, : OTC: MYRUF) announced Wednesday that it has earned a 75% interest in the Copper Mountain uranium project in Wyoming by spending over $5.5 million on eligible expenditures under the property option agreement with Rush Rare Metals Corp. Myriad’s 75% interest and Rush’s 25% interest in the project are subject to certain underlying NSR royalties, the company said. In October, Myriad obtained a new permit to expand drilling at the project where a past owner spent $25 million ($100 million today) in the late 1970s before the Three Mile Island nuclear accident crashed prices for the heavy metal. Union Pacific (NYSE: UNP) ra…

The EUR/USD currency pair continued to trade in a "zig-zag" and "fence" pattern on Wednesday. As a reminder, we will not discuss the outcomes of the FOMC meeting or any subsequent movements in this article. The reason is straightforward: we believe that right after the results are announced, the market trades on emotion. It often happens that the price initially moves in one direction, only to return to its starting position by morning. We even consider that all movements following the FOMC meeting should not be factored into technical analysis. Thus, it's better to wait for the market's passions to calm before drawing conclusions about the decisions made and how the mark…

Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, has expressed strong opposition to a proposal by the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) to exclude digital asset treasury companies (DATs) from its indexes. Calls For Fair Treatment Of Digital Asset Companies In a recent letter signed by Michael Saylor and the firm’s CEO Phong Le, Strategy highlighted its support for MSCI’s efforts to establish consistent eligibility criteria across its indices.
