Solana (SOL) has entered the final stretch of 2025 under sustained pressure, caught between a weakening price structure and signs of steady institutional interest. Related Reading: Dogecoin: Why This One Price Level Is Drawing All the Attention Following a sharp 39% decline in the fourth quarter, SOL is struggling to regain momentum, trading in the low-$120 range as traders focus on whether key support levels can be sustained. The contrast between falling network activity and continued inflows into investment products has left the market divided on what comes next. While ETF-linked demand suggests confidence in Solana’s longer-term relevance, near-term price action rem…

For the second consecutive day, the NZD/USD pair has shown strong buying interest, setting a new monthly high. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent suggested that the new Federal Reserve Chair may abandon the "dot plot" strategy—an approach that signals gradual interest rate cuts. He also highlighted the possibility of changes to inflation policy and the Fed's communication framework. This comes amid expectations that the incoming Fed leadership will adopt a very dovish monetary policy stance and cut interest rates regardless of current economic data. Such expectations are limiting the U.S. dollar's upside, despite its recent rebound from the lowest levels since early Oc…

The Bitcoin price could experience major swings this Friday as billions of dollars in options are set to expire. A crypto market expert has warned that the scale of this event could trigger “something big,” potentially affecting both volatility and the actions of retail and institutional investors. Bitcoin Price Braces For Major Moves This Friday On Monday, crypto analyst NoLimit signaled that this upcoming Friday could be a historic moment for Bitcoin. According to the expert, over $23.6 billion worth of Bitcoin options are scheduled to expire on December 26, marking the largest options expiry the market has ever seen. The analyst has stated that anyone with crypto hol…

The wave pattern on the 4-hour chart for EUR/USD looks fairly clear, albeit quite complex. There is no talk of canceling the bullish trend that began in January 2025, but the wave structure starting from July 1 has taken on a complex and extended form. In my view, the pair has completed the formation of corrective wave 4, which developed in a very non-standard way. Within this wave, we observed exclusively corrective structures, leaving no doubt about the corrective nature of the decline. In my opinion, the construction of the bullish trend is not finished, and its targets may extend as far as the 25th level. The series of waves a–b–c–d–e looks complete; therefore, over t…

Protecting retirement savings is a priority for anyone approaching or already enjoying retirement, especially in a climate where financial scams continue to rise. Market volatility, inflation, and growing national debt have created the perfect environment for fraudsters who prey on uncertainty and fear. Understanding the risks and choosing safer, more transparent strategies like diversifying with physical precious metals can help protect your nest egg for the long term. The Growing Threat of Retirement Scams and Financial Fraud Retirees and those nearing retirement are increasingly targeted by scammers because they often have substantial savings and are more cautious abou…

On Tuesday during the North American session, gold partially gave up some of its intraday gains as the U.S. dollar showed a moderate pullback following mixed U.S. economic data. At the time of writing, XAU/USD is trading near $4,457, slightly below the new all-time high of $4,497. Nevertheless, the decline in the precious metal remains limited, as ongoing geopolitical tensions continue to support strong demand for safe-haven assets. In addition, expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates in 2026 are providing additional support to gold prices. The latest stage of growth also reflects year-end portfolio rebalancing as markets enter a prolonged holiday pe…

Bitcoin’s recent price action has started to wear on people. After a strong start to the year and a run that pushed above $100,000 and briefly touched $125,000, the market has drifted into something closer to a low-volatility grind. On the 1000x podcast, ProCap’s Jeff Park argued that this shift in “market structure” is not a minor detail. In his view, it is the central reason Bitcoin has struggled to reassert momentum, even as gold and other commodities have pushed to fresh highs. Bitcoin Needs Volatility Park’s thesis is straightforward: Bitcoin’s upside story historically leans on volatility. If volatility compresses and stays compressed, Bitcoin loses one of the feat…

Christmas Trading can be both uneventful and chaotic – some traders rush to exit their long-held positions to take a stress-free holiday rest. The absence of counteracting parties leads to more erratic flows, as seen in this morning’s Stock Market action. But away from the traditional Christmas Stock Market trading, Metals trade around global exchanges on a different set of fundamentals. And it seems that they are the most beneficent victims of Santa's flow. Just today, Gold came very close to $4,500 before retracting somewhat, but allowed Silver, Platinum, and Palladium to reach multi-year highs (or set new records in the case of Silver). Ranging from 0.70% for the Ye…

The EUR/USD pair rebounded from the "bullish" imbalance zone 9, which produced another buy signal. Let me remind you that it all started earlier with imbalances 3 and 8, which were also bullish. The pair formed two buy signals, and traders had an excellent opportunity to enter in continuation of the bullish trend at the most favorable price. This long position is currently showing a profit of about 260 points. Traders can decide for themselves what to do next: wait for more profit or close the trade with a solid gain. Personally, I am expecting further growth from the European currency. Over recent months, I have repeatedly drawn traders' attention to an obvious fact: the…

The GBP/USD pair rebounded from the "bullish" imbalance 11 and resumed its upward movement, exactly as I expected. This is already the second reaction to bullish imbalance 11; the first buy signal appeared back last week. In fact, I do not take such signals into account on their own. If an imbalance has already been worked off (no matter to what extent), then in the future I am interested only in signals combined with liquidity grabs. This time, there was no sweep of "bearish" liquidity—but what difference does that make if a few days earlier another bullish signal was formed within the same bullish imbalance 11? Thus, traders can continue to hold long positions open, as …

For GBP/USD, the wave count continues to indicate the formation of an upward segment of the trend (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 began 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 stage of forming a new upward wave sequence. Of course, any wave structure can become more complex an…

Trade review and trading advice for the Japanese yen The test of the 155.95 price level occurred at a time when the MACD indicator had already moved significantly downward from the zero line, which limited the pair's downward potential. For this reason, I did not sell the dollar. Today, Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama said in an interview that the country has room to take decisive measures against the weakening of the Japanese yen and excessive exchange-rate fluctuations. All of this led to a decline in the USD/JPY pair, which continued during the European session. Ms. Katayama's statement, which came like a bolt from the blue, instantly overturned investors' perception…

Trade review and trading advice for the British pound The test of the 1.3494 price level occurred at the moment when the MACD indicator was just beginning to move upward from the zero line, which confirmed a correct entry point for buying the pound. As a result, the pair almost reached the target level around 1.3520. Amid the absence of any UK economic data, the British pound continued to follow the upward trend. The lack of fundamental drivers left the initiative in the hands of technical traders, who apparently decided to take advantage of dollar weakness and low liquidity ahead of important U.S. data. In the second half of the day, reports will be released on changes i…

US inflation reportedly cooled, and the Fed already cut rates three times, but Bitcoin price keeps stalling every time it pokes near $90,000, just like it did yesterday, the 22nd of December. Watching the order books on Binance and Coinbase during Monday’s European session, it was clear that $90,000 wasn’t just a psychological wall or a large sell wall; it was being refreshed every time the price ticked up, suggesting sophisticated ‘limit’ selling rather than a retail panic. On the surface, this looks like a bullish macro backdrop, but under the hood, the inflation data looks messy, and Bitcoin’s own liquidity looks tired. …

Trade review and trading advice for the European currency The test of the 1.1781 price level occurred at the moment when the MACD indicator was just beginning to move upward from the zero line, which confirmed a correct entry point for buying the euro. As a result, the pair rose by 20 points. The absence of data from the eurozone allowed the euro to continue its advance, while the insignificant German import price index was, as expected, ignored by market participants. From a technical standpoint, the EUR/USD currency pair broke through another important resistance level, providing opportunities for further upside. Nevertheless, it should be taken into account that after …

Bitcoin and major altcoins reacted on cue after Donald Trump predicted the “largest tax refund season in history,” tying crypto prices once again to U.S. political headlines. BTC swung around key levels as traders weighed the promise of extra consumer cash against worries about U.S. debt and spending. The move fits a familiar pattern where fiscal optimism, deficit fears, and Federal Reserve expectations all feed straight into Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and Cardano.

According to recent interviews, billionaire investor Ray Dalio has sharpened his caution about Bitcoin’s fit for official reserves while still recognizing its scarce nature. He said that Bitcoin carries money-like qualities because of its limited supply, but he drew a firm line over who should hold it on a balance sheet. Dalio said public transaction records and the risk of outside interference make it hard for reserve managers to treat Bitcoin the same way they treat gold. Dalio Flags Traceability Concerns Dalio warned that the open ledger that underpins Bitcoin creates vulnerabilities for large custodians. He argued that public transactions can be traced and, in som…

Solana-based decentralized exchanges reportedly handled more trading volume than giants like Binance and Bybit for stretches of late 2025, shifting more crypto price discovery directly onto the blockchain. While SOL has traded in a wide range this year, on-chain activity and volumes on Solana DEXes, such as Jupiter, Orca, and Raydium, continue to hit new records. This happens as traders look for faster, cheaper venues, and institutions route more activity into crypto ETFs and tokenized assets. Market Cap 24h 7d 30d 1y All Time What Does Solana’s DEX Surg…

XRP spot ETFs in the U.S. quietly gathered around $1.2 Bn in assets in just a few weeks, even as crypto prices softened and hype around Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs faded. XRP itself has struggled after recent highs, but the steady ETF buying tells a different story. This comes as regulators open the door to more crypto ETFs and institutions seek new ways to gain crypto exposure without trading on exchanges. Why Are XRP ETFs Pulling Cash When Bitcoin and Ethereum Slow Down? First, a quick refresher. An ETF (exchange-traded fund) is like a basket that holds an asset, in this case XRP, and trades on a stock exchange. You buy it in a brokerage account the same way you buy…

JPMorgan Crypto is quietly exploring what was once unthinkable: offering direct cryptocurrency trading to its institutional clients. The shift is striking, given JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon recently said, “it’s the first time in his lifetime it’s ‘semi-rational’ to hold gold in your portfolio.” According to people familiar with the discussions, the bank is assessing spot and derivatives trading as demand rises from hedge funds, asset managers, and corporates, who are navigating a friendlier US regulatory climate.

Dogecoin has seen a significant surge in its futures trading volume, indicating renewed interest among investors. However, the DOGE price is still lagging, hovering just above the psychological $0.10 level, amid the broader crypto market downtrend. Dogecoin Sees 53,000% Surge In Futures Trading Volume CoinGlass data shows that Dogecoin’s futures trading volume surged as much as 53,000% on BitMEX, reaching just over $260 million in the process. The top meme coin has also seen its futures trading volume on other major exchanges such as Kraken, Binance, and Bybit surge over the last 24 hours, providing a bullish outlook for DOGE. This has led to a 10% surge in the trading v…

Santa came with another positive surprise for the US, but despite the snow, there wasn't any Christmas miracle for Canada. The US GDP release was indeed a strong hit, coming at an annualized 4.3% (with the price index coming for Q3 at 3.7% vs 2.7% expected). Stellar numbers on the surface, but the strong data may raise a few questions. A significant portion of this growth could be driven by a sharp decrease in imports, which mathematically boosts the headline GDP figure even if domestic demand isn't accelerating at the same pace. It’s a classic accounting quirk that could mask underlying softness—or at least, make the economy look hotter than the labor market suggest…

Gold and silver prices both set new all-time highs on Tuesday as persistent geopolitical uncertainty continues to keep safe-haven demand elevated. Spot gold rose as much as 1.2% to a new record of just below $4,500 an ounce, extending gains from its biggest one-day jump in over a month. Silver jumped by as much as 1.8% to trade above $70 an ounce for the first time. Click on chart for live prices. The year-end rally in precious metals has been fueled by increased expectations of more US Federal Reserve rate cuts in the coming year, which would provide a tailwind for non-yielding assets. The metals’ haven appeal has also been amplified by rising geopolitical tens…

JPMorgan Chase & Co. is considering offering cryptocurrency trading services to its institutional clients, based on reports from Bloomberg and Reuters. The move is reported to be in early stages and has not been confirmed by the bank. Institutional Demand And Product Options Reports have disclosed that the bank is looking at a range of possible offerings, including spot trades and derivatives, as it tests whether client demand justifies a rollout. Decisions will depend on risk assessments and the regulatory environment, sources say. Banks Respond To A Shifting Market Wall Street is already moving closer to crypto.
