The EUR/USD pair has started a corrective pullback and for the third consecutive day has been "assaulting" imbalance 9. Let me remind you that an imbalance zone is not only an area of interest for traders, but also, in a sense, a support zone. So far, however, we see neither a clear reaction to the imbalance nor its complete disregard. Trader activity is once again drifting toward zero. Thus, a new "bullish" signal that would allow traders to open new long positions may form, but I do not yet see a market reaction to the pattern. I would also remind you that I advised buying the euro from imbalance zones 3 and 8 as well, where "bullish" signals were also formed. As of now…

For GBP/USD, the wave count continues to indicate the formation of an upward trend segment (bottom chart), but over the past six months it has taken on a complex and extended form (top chart). The trend segment that began on July 1 can be considered wave 4, or any global 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 has taken the form of a five-wave a-b-c-d-e pattern and has been completed. The instrument is now in the stage of forming a new upward wave set. Of course, any wave structure can become more complex and ext…

Many retirees reach a point where their home no longer fits their lifestyle, budget, or long-term goals. Downsizing can free up significant cash, reduce monthly expenses, and create breathing room in retirement. The key question is how to make sure the equity you unlock continues to work for you, especially in an environment where inflation, market volatility, and a weakening dollar can quickly erode purchasing power. Converting a portion of those funds into physical gold and other precious metals through a self-directed Gold IRA can offer a dependable foundation for long-term financial security. The Rising Cost of Retirement and Why Downsizing Is on the Table Retirees f…

Many pre-retirees and retirees want to ensure their hard earned retirement savings pass smoothly to the people they care about most. Understanding how IRA and 401(k) beneficiary rules work is an important part of long term wealth protection, especially for families who want to preserve purchasing power across generations. For families concerned about inflation, market volatility, and growing economic uncertainty, physical gold and other IRS approved precious metals inside a self-directed Gold IRA can help create a more stable and predictable legacy. Understanding How IRA and 401(k) Beneficiary Rules Work Retirement accounts do not follow the same rules as other assets wh…

Since yesterday's CPI report, metals have been rising through irregular waves, but still rallying more consistently than other asset classes. Platinum (XPT/USD) is once again leading the pack as its push toward decade highs continues, but one metal that we haven't discussed much is Palladium (XPD/USD), which is also printing new multi-year highs. It appears that a new trend for alternative precious metals has begun. Unlike the more popularly traded Gold and Silver, both Platinum and Palladium derive significant value from their extreme rarity and highly specialized industrial uses. …

Determining a sustainable withdrawal rate in retirement has become more challenging than ever. Inflation, market volatility, and the weakening purchasing power of the U.S. dollar all work against traditional paper-based portfolios that rely heavily on stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. More retirees are discovering that integrating physical gold and other precious metals into their retirement strategy can help stabilize their income and protect long-term purchasing power. Understanding the Challenge of Safe Retirement Withdrawals For years, many retirees relied on simple withdrawal rules of thumb. Today’s economic environment is far more complex, which means traditional ap…

For today’s retirees and near retirees, the challenge is not only saving enough for retirement but making sure those savings keep their value and last for decades. A strong retirement strategy must consider inflation, market volatility, banking uncertainty, and the long-term decline in the purchasing power of the U.S. dollar. This is why many affluent Americans are turning to physical gold and other IRS-approved precious metals to protect and stabilize their retirement income. The Challenge of Creating Lifetime Retirement Income in an Uncertain Economy Longevity risk is one of the biggest concerns for retirees, especially as life expectancy continues to rise. You may spe…

Many Americans enter retirement wondering how their Health Savings Account fits into the next stage of their financial life. An HSA is one of the most tax efficient tools available, and it can continue serving retirees long after they stop working. At the same time, an HSA still sits within the traditional financial system, which is why many pre retirees and retirees pair it with a self directed Gold IRA that includes physical gold and other IRS approved precious metals to protect overall purchasing power. Understanding How an HSA Works Before and During Retirement An HSA allows eligible individuals to save for current and future medical expenses using pre tax dollars. C…

Healthcare is often one of the largest and most unpredictable expenses in retirement, and many Americans underestimate how much they will actually spend once they leave the workforce. Rising medical costs, longer life expectancy, and the shrinking purchasing power of the U.S. dollar all make proactive planning essential. For many pre retirees and retirees, incorporating physical gold and other precious metals into a diversified retirement strategy can help create a stronger financial foundation for future medical needs. The Growing Cost of Healthcare for Today’s Retirees Medical costs have climbed steadily for decades, and today’s retirees face higher out of pocket spend…

Many retirees assume that enrolling in Medicare means the majority of their healthcare expenses will be fully covered. Unfortunately, that misconception leads to unwanted surprises and major financial strain at a time when medical needs usually rise. Understanding what Medicare covers, what it does not, and how those gaps affect long term retirement planning is essential for anyone who wants to protect their savings and maintain financial independence. What Medicare Actually Covers, And Where the Biggest Gaps Lie Medicare is divided into multiple parts, each addressing specific categories of care. Part A covers hospital stays, skilled nursing for short periods, and some h…

Planning for long-term care is one of the most important parts of retirement preparedness, especially for individuals who want to ensure their assets will support both their lifestyle and potential future healthcare needs. As healthcare costs rise and traditional financial markets grow more unpredictable, many retirees are looking for ways to strengthen their retirement savings with assets that protect purchasing power over time. Physical gold and other precious metals held through a self-directed Gold IRA can play a valuable role in creating a more resilient long-term care strategy. The Rising Cost of Long-Term Care and Why Traditional Retirement Portfolios Fall Short L…

Inheriting a retirement account can feel overwhelming, especially when IRS rules determine how quickly assets must be distributed. For beneficiaries who want to preserve long-term wealth, understanding these rules is essential because distribution timing affects taxes, investment risk, and the ability to maintain purchasing power. For many affluent families, shifting inherited assets into a self-directed Gold IRA can provide stability, diversification, and a sense of permanence that traditional paper investments often fail to deliver. Understanding How Inherited Retirement Accounts Work Under Current IRS Rules When you inherit a retirement account, the IRS determines how …

The SECURE Act reshaped how retirement accounts pass to the next generation, and these changes are especially important for affluent retirees who want their wealth to last. The law affects how heirs receive inherited IRAs and 401(k)s, and it can significantly increase the tax burden on your family. Understanding these rules can help you build a more resilient legacy strategy that includes tangible assets like physical gold and other precious metals. Understanding the SECURE Act and Why It Matters for Your Retirement Legacy The SECURE Act introduced new inheritance rules that directly influence how long retirement savings last after you pass them down. For many years, ben…

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 construction of corrective wave 4, which took a very non-standard 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 formation of the upward trend segment has not been completed, and its targets extend as far as the 25th level. The series of waves a-b-…

Bitcoin continues to struggle below the $90,000 level as volatility remains elevated and market conviction weakens. Short-term price swings have failed to establish a clear directional bias, reinforcing a broader sense of uncertainty among traders and investors. While price remains historically high, internal market conditions suggest that underlying stress is building beneath the surface, particularly within the mining sector. A recent analysis by Axel Adler highlights growing pressure on Bitcoin miners using the Miner Financial Health Index, a composite metric that assesses mining profitability relative to price. Readings above 80% historically signal excessive profit…
