Bitcoin is trading around $87,891 after a sharp drop to $84,323 yesterday during the US session. We are now seeing a recovery and consolidation above the 2/8 Murray and above the 21 SMA, indicating a possible breakout from the downtrend channel. According to the H4 chart, we can see that Bitcoin has formed a double bottom pattern, which could indicate that Bitcoin could rebound to $93,750 in the future and even return to the psychological level of $100,000. Meanwhile, we can see that the instrument is within the downtrend channel formed since December 8. So, if it reaches $88,700 and tries unsuccessfully to break this zone, it could be seen as an opportunity to open short…

Gold is trading around $4,325, following consolidation over the last few hours above the 21 SMA. The bullish momentum is being exhausted. According to the H4 chart, we can see that gold has been testing the downtrend channel, which means there is likely to be a technical rebound in the coming hours if the price consolidates above $4,320 (21 SMA). With the price being above the 21 SMA, there is an opportunity to open long positions, which could push the instrument towards $4,342. Gold could even return to its high reached around the 8/8 Murray located at $4,375. A decisive break and consolidation below $4,320 could be the start of a new bearish sequence. We could expect go…

Oil has been falling continuously since the beginning of December, maintaining the broad downward trend that has characterized 2025—excluding, of course, the price spikes seen during the June 12-Day War. The typical fundamental reasoning for this relentless slide has been significantly higher supply from OPEC+, a result of coordinated geopolitical planning aimed at undercutting Russia's profits from its oil-sponsored war in Ukraine. Furthermore, Russia itself has flooded its purchasers with supply; despite sanctions raising barriers and counterparty risks for European markets, the competitive pricing of Slavic oil has kept global prices depressed. …

The US Export-Import Bank (EXIM) has increased potential funding to over $2 billion for Graphite One’s (TSXV: GPH) Alaska-to-Ohio supply chain. The bank on Thursday issued non-binding letters of interest tied to the Graphite Creek project near Nome for $670 million, up from $570 million. The prospective loan for an anode materials plant in northeastern Ohio jumped to $1.4 billion, up from $325 million, with a 15-year loan repayment period. EXIM indicated it could cover about 70% of total capital spending through first production, with the balance to come from commercial lenders and other US agencies. “There’s no reason the US should be dependent on foreign-sourced…

Crypto analyst Quantum Ascend has published a weekly-chart “roadmap” for Shiba Inu (SHIB) in a new video, laying out three upside targets for a potential altcoin cycle, while warning that SHIB’s deep multi-year drawdown could cap the move if macro conditions deteriorate. The Base Case For Shiba Inu Price In his X post, Quantum Ascend listed “Altseason Targets” as a conservative level (“$0.47 e-8,” as written), a “Primary” target of $0.00014, and a “Blow-Off” target of $0.00035. In the video, the analyst anchored the roadmap to Elliott Wave-style structure and Fibonacci extensions, and emphasized that the bullish path is conditional, not guaranteed. Starting from SHIB’s …

ioneer (ASX: INR) (NASDAQ: IONR) now expects to complete its partner search for the Rhyolite Ridge lithium-boron mine project in Nevada during the first half of 2026, the company said in a year-end update Friday. In July, the Australian mine developer launched a formal strategic partnering process after Sibanye-Stillwater (JSE: SSW)(NYSE: SBSW) pulled out of the project earlier in the year. At the time, ioneer said the partner search, which is being advised by Goldman Sachs, would take up to four months. However, the process has been dragged into the new year, which the company attributes to market and geopolitical factors. In its latest update, ioneer said it rem…

US Equities are closing the week on a better note as the CPI report triggers pricing for further rate cuts in 2026. The roles seem to have reversed compared to last week's Fed Speaker communications. NY Fed President Williams pointed towards a further pause this morning, suggesting the CPI data may have been affected by "distortions," while Goolsbee seemed positively surprised by the inflation figures. But another, more fundamental theme could be lifting stocks: Traders are pricing in the Bank of Japan hitting the brakes on future hikes. After an 11-month pause, the BoJ just hiked rates to 0.75%, the highest level in 30 years. While markets have been concerned that Bo…

Ethereum has been struggling to regain traction below the $3,000 level since Monday, with repeated rejection attempts reinforcing a fragile market structure. Bulls continue to lose ground as upside momentum fades, while sentiment across the market remains dominated by apathy and underlying fear. Trading activity has thinned, relief rallies have been short-lived, and many participants appear hesitant to commit capital in a market that lacks clear directional conviction. As price drifts sideways under key resistance, the broader narrative has shifted from optimism to caution. Despite this weak price action, on-chain derivatives data tells a more complex story. According …

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…

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.

December 17 was a landmark day for the cryptocurrency market: American spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds witnessed an impressive net inflow of $457.3 million — the largest daily influx of institutional investment in the past month and a half. This occurred despite Bitcoin's price drop, which continues to trade around $86,000, about 32% below its historical high of $126,000 recorded in October. The flagship fund FBTC from Fidelity emerged as the main driver of this growth, securing $391.5 million in a single day. This increased the fund's total net assets to $12.4 billion. IBIT from BlackRock followed closely with an inflow of $111.2 million. Together, these two giants no…

Bitcoin has been under intense selling pressure in recent sessions, leaving market participants increasingly cautious about near-term direction. On Wednesday, BTC briefly surged from the $86,000 area toward $90,000, offering short-term investors a moment of relief after weeks of downside volatility. That rebound, however, proved short-lived. Price quickly retraced back to the $86,000 level, once again stalling bullish momentum and reinforcing the perception that sellers remain firmly in control. This failed recovery attempt has weighed heavily on sentiment, particularly among short-term holders who entered positions at higher levels during the previous consolidation ra…

Gold and silver hit fresh highs on Tuesday while Bitcoin slid back under $89,000, sending a clear message that some investors are favoring metal over riskier bets. According to Reuters and market data, gold traded above $4,330 an ounce and silver pushed past $66 an ounce in what market participants called a strong run for bullion. Reports have disclosed that silver’s rally has lifted local prices in India to about ₹2.06 lakh per kilogram. Metals Rally, Hit New Highs Silver’s advance has been dramatic. It is up roughly 120-130% year-to-date, a jump that outpaces gold by a wide margin. Traders point to a mix of stronger industrial demand from solar and electronics, tigh…

Concerns over quantum computing are weighing on Bitcoin’s price and slowing some investment flows, amid a sharp divide between developers and many investors. Developers Call Threat Distant According to Bitcoin developer Adam Back of Blockstream, quantum machines remain far from able to break Bitcoin’s protections. He said the tech is still “ridiculously early” and that research hurdles persist. Back expects no real threat within the next decade and argued that even if parts of Bitcoin’s cryptography were compromised, the network would not automatically be emptied. Security, he noted, does not rest solely on encryption in a way that would allow mass theft on the blockc…

Today, the pair showed a strong bullish impulse, breaking through two round levels at 156.00 and 157.00, as well as resistance at 157.20. The yen extended its intraday losses after opening remarks by Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda at the press conference following the policy meeting. At the conclusion of the two-day meeting on Friday, the Bank of Japan decided to raise the short-term policy rate by 25 basis points to 0.75%, reaching a level considered the highest in three decades. This move had largely been priced in by the markets and did not trigger sharp fluctuations in the yen. In its accompanying statement, the Bank of Japan said it would continue to raise interes…

Trade Breakdown and Trading Tips for the European Currency The price test of 1.1715 occurred at a moment when the MACD indicator was just beginning to move down from the zero line, which confirmed a correct entry point for selling the euro. As a result, the pair declined by 10 points. German data had no impact on the pair's direction. Given that producer prices remained unchanged and the GfK report brought no surprises, this had no noticeable effect on the EUR/USD rate in the first half of the day. It is clear that a cautious sentiment currently prevails in the market. Next, we are awaiting figures on existing home sales. This indicator serves as a kind of barometer of th…

Trade Breakdown and Trading Tips for the British Pound The test of the 1.3369 price level occurred when the MACD indicator was just beginning to move down from the zero line, which confirmed a correct entry point for selling the pound. However, the pair did not go on to post a major decline. Despite the fact that UK retail sales fell by 0.1% in November this year, the pound barely reacted. Although the data came as an unpleasant surprise to the market, which had been expecting confirmation of resilient consumer demand. In the second half of the day, the focus will shift to U.S. existing home sales data, as well as the consumer sentiment index and inflation expectations fr…

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…

Many retirees are drawn to the Roth IRA because it offers something every saver wants in retirement: the ability to take withdrawals without owing income taxes. While this advantage is important, relying on tax benefits alone does not protect a lifetime of savings from inflation, market volatility, currency weakness, or growing economic uncertainty. This is why more affluent retirees are pairing the Roth’s tax-free features with the lasting stability of physical gold and other precious metals through a self-directed Gold IRA. Understanding How Roth IRA Withdrawals Work in Retirement A Roth IRA allows your investments to grow tax free and enables qualified distributions i…

Many affluent retirees want to keep more of what they worked so hard to save, especially when facing higher taxes from required withdrawals and market-driven distributions. One way to pursue greater tax efficiency is by balancing traditional paper assets with physical gold and other IRS approved precious metals inside a self directed Gold IRA. Incorporating tangible metals can help stabilize your long term retirement strategy, reduce reliance on fully taxable withdrawals, and support a more predictable, tax efficient income plan. Understanding How Retirement Withdrawals Are Taxed Traditional IRAs, 401(k)s, and similar tax deferred accounts are taxed as ordinary income wh…

SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci said he still sees a path to Solana reaching $2,500 over a five-to-ten-year horizon, arguing that tokenization plus clearer US regulation could turn Solana into a core financial “rail system.” Scaramucci made the remarks in an interview with SolanaFloor filmed during last week’s Solana Breakpoint conference and released on Dec. 18. Why Solana Is Still Poised For $2,500 Scaramucci framed the $2,500 thesis as a long-duration bet that won’t play out cleanly. “It’s not going to come without… volatility,” he said, pointing to what he called a messy US regulatory year and sticky inflation as headwinds that “probably slowed down our…

Canada’s Erdene Resource Development (TSX: ERD) is working to turn its new Bayan Khundii open-pit gold mine in Mongolia into the anchor of a future minerals district that will one day produce several metals, CEO Peter Akerley says. Erdene poured first gold at Bayan Khundii in September – about 10 years after the first exploration hole was drilled – and expects to achieve nameplate production by the end of the month. The operation has been designed to process 650,000 tonnes of ore and produce 85,000 oz. of gold per year. “We see Bayan Khundii as a foundation to build out a new multi-mine, multi-commodity district,” Aekerley told MINING.COM’s sister publication, The…

Many retirees want to leave their children a strong financial legacy, yet the tax rules surrounding inherited retirement accounts can be confusing and costly if not understood early. Affluent families often devote decades to building large IRA or 401(k) balances, but without proper planning, heirs can face avoidable taxes that shrink the value of what is passed down. This is why many retirement savers are exploring how incorporating physical gold and other IRS approved precious metals through a self-directed Gold IRA can help protect long-term purchasing power and reduce the impact of tax-driven erosion. Understanding How Inherited Retirement Accounts Are Taxed The IRS h…

Trade Breakdown and Trading Tips for the Japanese Yen The test of the 156.13 price level occurred when the MACD indicator was just beginning to move up from the zero line, which confirmed a correct entry point for buying the dollar. As a result, the pair rose by more than 60 points. Comments from the head of the Bank of Japan regarding further interest rate hikes diverged from market expectations, which triggered this reaction. In the second half of the day, the key focus will be the release of U.S. existing home sales data, as well as the University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index and inflation expectations. These figures will serve as an important barometer of th…

The GBP/USD pair completed a reversal in favor of the U.S. dollar and returned to the "bullish" imbalance 11 after liquidity was taken from the previous swing. And that's where all movement ended. The reaction to this pattern was seen last week, but there is nothing wrong with a second or even third execution of the same pattern. Let me remind you that imbalances can be filled by 50% or even 100%. Sometimes this requires several attempts. Thus, in the near future the price may bounce off the imbalance, push deeper into it, then reverse, take liquidity from the last "bearish" swing, and then reverse again. Only if the imbalance is invalidated will I consider a scenario of …
