Trade Review and Trading Tips for the European Currency The test of the 1.1737 price level occurred when the MACD indicator was just beginning to move downward from the zero line, which confirmed a correct entry point for selling the euro. As a result, the pair declined by 25 points. Ahead of the ECB's decision on key interest rates, the euro showed slight weakness. Traders are anxiously awaiting guidance on the future monetary policy strategy in the euro area, although changes are considered unlikely. It is widely expected that the ECB will keep rates unchanged, with the main focus shifting to the press conference led by Christine Lagarde. At the same time, a heavy flow …

Trade Review and Trading Tips for the British Pound The test of the 1.3359 price level occurred when the MACD indicator was just beginning to move downward from the zero line, which confirmed a correct entry point for selling the pound. As a result, the pair declined by 25 points. In the second half of the day, very important data are expected on the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) and the CPI excluding food and energy prices. Weekly U.S. initial jobless claims data are unlikely to attract much interest. Higher-than-expected CPI readings could spark concerns about persistent inflationary pressure in the United States, which in turn may push the Federal Reserve to be more …

The announcement marks a strategic shift from retail-driven narratives to regulated, institution-ready financial infrastructure on the XRP Ledger. The collaboration positions XRP as part of a framework centered on yield generation, compliant custody, and real-world financial integration.

The wave pattern on the 4-hour chart for EUR/USD has changed, but overall it still remains quite clear. There is no talk of canceling the upward trend segment that began in January 2025; however, the wave structure starting from July 1 has taken on a complex and extended form. In my view, the instrument has completed the formation of corrective wave 4, which took a very unconventional shape. Within this wave, we observed exclusively corrective structures, so there is no doubt about the corrective nature of the decline. In my opinion, the construction of the upward trend segment is not complete, and its targets extend as far as the 2.5000 level. The series of waves a–b–c–d…

For GBP/USD, the wave pattern continues to indicate the formation of an upward trend segment (lower chart), but over the past six months it has taken on a complex and extended form (upper chart). The trend segment that began on July 1 can be considered wave 4, or any large corrective wave, since it clearly has a corrective rather than an impulsive internal wave structure. The same applies to its internal sub-waves. The downward wave structure that started on September 17 took the form of a five-wave pattern a–b–c–d–e and has been completed. The instrument is now in the process of forming a new upward wave sequence. Of course, any wave structure can become more complex and…

Things have changed quite remarkably since the broadly optimistic morning session. As pointed out in this interesting report, there might have been some selection biases in the BLS construction of this CPI release, tilting the numbers to the downside. Accuracy issues for data releases may hurt confidence prospects for Public data going forward. With the next CPI report expected on January 13, traders will want to see if major revisions to today's number will actually affect the Rate Cut expectations. Gold tested a new All-time high $4,400 before falling sharply, Stock markets are making new lows and Bonds are selling off. These flows don't inspire much confidence. …

The 50/50 joint venture between Trilogy Metals (TSX, NYSE-A: TMQ) and South32 (ASX, LSE, JSE: S32) — sees 2026 as a pivotal year for the development of the Ambler mining district of northwestern Alaska. On Wednesday, Trilogy announced that Ambler Metals, the joint venture, recently approved a $35 million work program next year aimed at advancing the Upper Kobuk Mineral Projects (UKMP), which include two copper-rich deposits (Arctic and Bornite) situated within an approximate 1,900 sq.-km land package. Exploration activities in 2026 will primarily focus on the Arctic deposit, including geotechnical and condemnation drilling to support mine design, infrastructure pl…

In the evolving landscape of blockchain technology, Solana has rapidly emerged as a platform not merely defined by its technical capabilities but by its broader implications for economic infrastructure. By enabling the class of decentralized applications, SOL is positioning itself as a high-performance blockchain and a foundational layer for the next-generation economic activity. Why Infrastructure That Enables Continuous Markets In an X post, crypto analyst Vibhu mentioned that Solana is no longer just a piece of financial technology, but a fully functioning economy. What exists on SOL today has gone beyond transactions and smart contracts. According to the expert, …

The crypto market is moving in a way we don’t expect, as we focus on the price of Bitcoin and Ethereum, and steady inflows into XRP ETFs. Bitcoin is trading just above $86,000, while Ethereum price slipped under $2,900 after a sharp pullback in the last 24hours. At the same time, XRP ETFs pulled in $18.99 million in net inflows, pushing total assets above the $1 billion mark. Since these three assets have held up better than most of the market, which continues to struggle under tightening financial conditions, we are here to break them down. We are to read every sign and predict what comes next. According to the analyst, the speed and scale of the move made it a te…

Large Bitcoin whales reportedly bought around $4.6 billion worth of BTC in a single week, even as the price slid toward the mid-$80,000s. That means big money stepped in while many smaller investors backed away. The move occurs in a year where Bitcoin continues to swing wildly after each rally, while everyone waits to see if one last big push comes before 2026. Luckily, here at 99Bitcoins, we have years of experience cutting through on-chain data, so you don’t have to – let’s take a look. Market Cap 24h 7d 30d 1y All Time What Does This Bitcoin Whales Bu…

CME Group expanded its crypto lineup again, this time with new “spot-quoted” futures for XRP crypto and Solana (SOL) that trade in much smaller sizes and track real-time prices more closely. XRP USD and SOL USD prices barely reacted on the day, but the real story lies in who now gets an easier way to trade them: big institutions that prefer regulated venues. This move occurs at a significant moment in my decade-long derivatives trading career, 2025, a year of record crypto derivatives volume on CME, which has seen professional traders shift from offshore exchanges to regulated US markets and adopt more institutional market structures as a result. …

The crypto market similarly opened on December 18, following the day prior, amid fear and uncertainty, and Bitcoin has remained between $86,000 and $87,000. Market liquidity continues to thin heading into year-end, with the combined crypto market cap precariously above $3 trillion and at risk of losing this key level before 2025 ends. Surprisingly, memecoins have shown the most significant gains in recent days, with PIPPIN and TROLL posting overnight gains of +5% and +6%, respectively. These Pump.fun coins are surging after a federal court recently allowed a second amended class-action complaint to move forward involving Pump.fun, Solana Labs, and multiple Solana-linked …

Two new initial resources for Canada Nickel’s (TSX-V: CNC; US-OTC: CNIKF) sulphide deposits in northern Ontario now make its Timmins Nickel District the largest undeveloped nickel base in the country and among the largest globally by contained metal. The Bannockburn deposit hosts 63 million indicated tonnes grading 0.28% nickel for 180,000 tonnes of contained metal, and 129 million inferred tonnes at 0.27% nickel for 340,000 contained tonnes, the company reported Thursday. Midlothian holds 595 million inferred tonnes grading 0.28% nickel for 1.68 million tonnes of nickel. Those resources bump the total contained nickel across the company’s eight projects by ab…

Ontario and Canada’s federal government signed an agreement deal that aims to curb duplicate reviews and advance long-planned infrastructure and projects such as those in the province’s metals-rich Ring of Fire region. The deal will bring a “one project, one review” approach to major infrastructure initiatives in Canada’s most populous province, the federal government said Thursday in a statement. It will ensure that both levels of government “can adopt the most effective assessment process on a case-by-case basis – either by relying on Ontario’s process or by implementing a coordinated federal-provincial approach,” Ottawa said. Under the deal, Ontario and Canada …

Reports have circulated across social channels this week after a prominent XRP commentator warned critics that they may be underestimating the token’s long-term role in finance. According to a post on X by user UnknowDLT, XRP’s place in global payment rails was “planned more than a decade ago,” and the token could one day become “the most valuable asset in the world,” a claim that has stirred both debate and disbelief. Community Voice Turns Loud Supporters in the XRP community have long argued that market prices miss bigger shifts. Based on reports from prominent community accounts, followers say short-term trading noise hides structural moves that could lift demand fo…

In a critical moment for global finance, Visa now settles some payments in the USDC stablecoin on the Solana blockchain, expanding beyond its earlier Ethereum pilots and pushing stablecoins into mainstream finance. The company already operates at a pace of approximately $3.5 billion annually for stablecoin settlement volume, so this is no longer a small experiment. It joins a wider shift in which banks, card networks, and even J.P. Morgan are moving real financial activity onto public blockchains during a period of growing on-chain finance. For people like me who have been monitoring Solana’s evolution and the steady mainstreaming of stablecoins for Years, it’s clear thi…

Dogecoin (DOGE) is approaching a sensitive phase as weakening investor demand, stalled ETF inflows, and growing sell-side pressure converge near a key price area. Related Reading: XRP Risks Double-Top Crash Toward $0.40, Peter Brandt Warns Once driven largely by retail enthusiasm, the meme coin is now trading closer to levels where a significant share of holders last acquired their tokens, raising questions about downside risk if confidence continues to erode. At the same time, isolated whale accumulation and long-term cost-basis data suggest the market is approaching a zone that could define the next major move. Dogecoin ETF Inflows Stall as Sentiment Softens One …

Market analysts are closely watching the XRP price as recent movements test key support levels. A new technical analysis has highlighted a critical price zone that is currently helping contain further downside pressure on XRP. Over the past few months, the cryptocurrency has struggled to reclaim its previous highs, recently crashing below the $2 psychological level amid increased volatility and market uncertainty. XRP Key Support Contains Downside Risks Crypto analyst Skipper shared a new technical update on XRP this week, highlighting current market dynamics and a critical support level that could help prevent further downturns. The analyst noted that XRP recently brok…

Log in to today's North American session Market wrap for December 18 Market flows took a strongly positive tone following a CPI report that delivered a massive miss—2.7% vs. 3.1% expected. However, the initial euphoria stalled as economists dove into the details, uncovering significant adjustments by the BLS that cast doubt on the data's validity. The doubts triggered a pump-and-dump looking action across asset classes. Gold briefly breached its record highs before correcting sharply, and stocks followed a similar trajectory: a wonderful open erased by mean-reverting flows around the mid-session bell. …

The U.S. Federal Reserve has taken a notable step in reshaping how banks under its supervision can engage with crypto, reversing guidance introduced in 2023 that had sharply limited such activities. The decision reflects a broader reassessment inside the central bank about how regulation should adapt to financial innovation, especially as digital assets continue to intersect with traditional banking infrastructure. Under the earlier framework, uninsured state-chartered banks were required to follow the same constraints as federally insured institutions in order to remain under Federal Reserve supervision. That approach effectively barred some crypto banks from accessin…

With public and government attention shifting to critical minerals, energy transition metals and specialty commodities, and retail investors all-in on rampant gold and silver, here’s a reminder of where the bulk of investments in global mining and metals goes. From 2000 to 2023, metals and mining revenues grew by $1.7 trillion, a jump of roughly 75%, affording the industry a 70% slice of the overall materials business which also includes plastics, pulp, and building materials. As a whole, materials represent some 7% of the global GDP. However, battery and other metals associated with decarbonisation – even when lumping in bellwether copper – hardly makes up 15% …

The USD/JPY pair has traded within a broad range of 154.50 to 157.00 over the past three weeks, bouncing alternately between the upper and lower boundaries. Looking at the weekly chart, it becomes evident that traders are uncertain about the direction of price movement. Upward impulses are followed by downward movements, and vice versa. The contradictory outcomes of the December FOMC meeting have not helped traders, neither bulls nor bears. Ahead of this meeting, the USD/JPY pair approached the upper boundary of the aforementioned price range but fell to the lower boundary after the verdict was announced, marking a low of 154.40. However, in this price area, sellers took …

The European Central Bank's (ECB) upward revisions to inflation and GDP forecasts, amidst a slowdown in U.S. CPI, allow the EUR/USD pair to continue its rally. When the market does not move in the expected direction, it can make a sharp turn the opposite way. The ECB meeting and the U.S. inflation report provided the euro with additional advantages and invited the EUR/USD pair to rise. U.S. consumer prices slowed more than expected, while the ECB raised its inflation and GDP forecasts. What better reason could there be to sell the dollar and buy the regional currency? Unfortunately, traders made this decision with some delay. The ECB expects inflation in the eurozone to r…

On Thursday, the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the dollar's value against a basket of currencies, was struggling to build on the moderate gains seen the previous day. After the release of disappointing U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) data, Wednesday's gains were completely erased by downward pressure. This data will play a crucial role in determining the next steps the Federal Reserve will take regarding interest rates. Despite the Fed's cautious outlook, amid clear signs of a weakening U.S. labor market, traders are pricing in the possibility of two more rate cuts in 2026. Additionally, there are rumors that the new Fed Chair will adopt a dovish monetary policy a…

The data released on Thursday showed a slowdown in U.S. inflation. All components of the report were in the red zone, falling short of forecasted levels. On one hand, this is an important—one could say pivotal—moment for the EUR/USD pair (as well as for other dollar pairs). Now, representatives of the "dovish camp" at the Federal Reserve have additional arguments to support their position. A weak CPI is a strong card for the "doves" amid a cooling U.S. labor market, a declining ISM manufacturing index, stagnant retail sales, and weaker consumer activity. All these factors contribute to the case for further Fed rate cuts. However, there is one major "but" regarding inflati…
