The Dogecoin price is at a significant decision point on the chart, and according to a new analysis posted on TradingView, the next move could be explosive. The popular token is trading above a key support area that it has repeatedly tested. If buyers continue to defend this structure, the top memecoin has room to rally higher. However, if the support fails, the bullish outlook could fade rapidly, leaving Dogecoin vulnerable to a deeper pullback. Dogecoin Price Holds Critical 0.5 Fibonacci Support According to the TradingView analyst, Dogecoin is consolidating just above the $0.214 level, which matches the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement and the ascending trendline support. The analyst described this support as a “make-or-break” zone for the Dogecoin price. If bulls can keep the price steady here, it may give them the strength to push higher. The 0.214 area is essential as it combines two key supports simultaneously: the Fibonacci 0.5 level and the rising trendline. According to the analyst, this means buyers must hold firm to keep control. The Stoch RSI indicator is also resetting in the middle zone, which shows the market has room for momentum in either direction. In simple terms, it signals that a bigger move could be coming soon, depending on whether buyers or sellers take control first. This zone is now watched closely by traders. Holding above it suggests that buyers are still in charge. Falling below it, however, would open the door for a deeper test of lower levels. Bounce Could Target $0.278, Breakdown Risks $0.197 The analyst notes that if bulls succeed in defending the 0.214 level, Dogecoin could bounce toward the $0.278 resistance zone. This level they described as a central horizontal supply zone, where sellers may attempt to halt the rally. Breaking past it would confirm strength from buyers and could drive fresh momentum into the market. The analyst cautions about the risks at play here. If the structure fails and price breaks down from the 0.214 area, the next necessary support lies near $0.197, known as the golden pocket. Falling under this level would cancel the bullish outlook and push the price toward the deeper retracement zone at $0.173. The analyst says that Dogecoin’s next direction depends on how the price reacts at this level. Bulls need to hold their ground if they want to trigger a run toward higher levels. Sellers, on the other hand, are waiting for any sign of weakness to lower prices. At this stage, Dogecoin stands at a decisive crossroads. Market watchers are keeping a close eye to see whether bulls can protect the structure and ignite the bounce toward higher resistance, or if sellers will seize control instead.

The Ethereum price continues to test investors’ patience as it consolidates just beneath critical resistance levels. A crypto analyst has labeled this stretch a “loading at prior high phase,” suggesting that the market is stuck in this area. Currently, bulls are eyeing a decisive breakout above $5,000, but the analyst remains torn about whether ETH is merely pausing before another surge or setting up for a deeper retest. Ethereum Price Loading Phase Likely Short-Lived A market expert identified as ‘Crypto Nova’ has characterized Ethereum’s current price behaviour as a loading phase taking place near previous highs. Looking at the monthly chart, ETH has reportedly climbed back toward the $4,800 range, brushing against levels that previously triggered reversals. Historically, when Ethereum approaches a former high, momentum tends to slow as supply briefly catches up to demand. However, Crypto Nova notes that this slowdown rarely marks the final top. Instead, it often signals a temporary equilibrium before buyers reassert control. The analyst emphasized that demand for ETH continues to heavily outweigh supply, meaning that short-lived pullbacks will likely be absorbed quickly. Examining the price chart, Crypto Nova identifies two “magnetic” price zones above $6,000 and $8,000, which serve as medium-term targets for Ethereum. These zones also represent strong liquidity pools that the market tends to gravitate toward once upward momentum resumes. If Ethereum manages to convincingly clear the $5,000 barrier, the probability of a sustained move into these higher zones increases. With its price action maintaining a broader uptrend structure and repeatedly rejecting breakdown attempts, ETH further reinforces its bullish case. In other words, the current consolidation emphasized by Crypto Nova is seen as a healthy pause, rather than a signal of weakness or price exhaustion. Bullish Setup Suggests Retest Before $5,000 Push Adding to Ethereum’s bullish narrative, Hardy, a crypto trader and analyst, offers a more tactical outlook using shorter timeframes. On the hourly chart, the analyst highlights that ETH has shown choppy movement around $4,400 and $4,600 after failing to sustain momentum above its 2021 all-time high of $4,865. This has raised the possibility of near-term dips before Ethereum attempts another price breakout. Hardy identifies two untapped daily zones of interest, $4,225 and $4,075, as key levels where buyers are likely to step back in. These price targets represent support areas that could provide solid entries for long positions if the price does not pull back. Despite the possible short-term volatility, Hardy remains optimistic about Ethereum’s future trajectory. He suggests that the price is primed for a new all-time high, provided the market respects the above support levels. Ethereum’s overall structure continues to lean bullish, reinforcing the broader campaign toward a $5,000 target and beyond.

Dolly Varden Silver (TSXV: DV) reported new drilling at its Kitsault Valley project in British Columbia has tightened the Wolf vein’s high-grade plunge and kept the target open to depth, sending its Toronto-listed shares higher. The latest hole, DV25-446, cut 21.7 metres grading 1,422 grams silver per tonne starting at 816.3 metres downhole, including a 1-metre hit of 10,700 grams silver, the company said Tuesday. The intercept sits about 105 metres up-dip of last season’s furthest step-out and came with increasing gold and base metals at depth. (Intervals are core length; estimated true widths are 55%–65%.) Haywood Capital Markets mining analyst Marcus Giannini said the company was edging closer to a potential mineralizing system at depth. “As is typical of metal distribution at the project, there was an augmentation of gold and base metal grades at depth, as proximity to the central valley structure increases,” Giannini said in a note. “Overall, we see ample room for further expansion of the high-grade mineralization at the Wolf vein, which will remain a priority during this season’s program.” Dolly Varden’s hit lands in a silver market that just punched back above $40 per oz. amid a multi-year structural deficit driven by solar and electrification demand. It all sharpens investor focus on high-grade ounces in the province’s northwest, the so-called Golden Triangle near Stewart. Wolf vein “These high-grade silver results over wide intervals suggest excellent continuity at the Wolf vein,” CEO Shawn Khunkhun said in a news release. “Additional drilling at Wolf is being prioritized for the remainder of the season.” Dolly Varden shares gained 5.2% to C$5.45 apiece by Tuesday afternoon in Toronto. The company has a market capitalization of C$442 million ($320 million). Around the Golden Triangle camp, Skeena Resources’ (TSX: SKE) Eskay Creek open-pit project is seeking public comment by Sept. 25 for a BC environmental assessment. Meantime, Ascot Resources (TSX: AOT) has put its Premier mine on care and maintenance and launched a strategic review. Also in the area, the Nisg̱a’a–Tahltan consortium last month agreed to buy the Stewart Bulk Terminal that serves Newmont’s (TSX: NGT; NYSE: NEM) Brucejack and the broader district. Seabridge Gold (TSX: SEA; NYSE: SA) is advancing KSM, the world’s biggest shovel-ready copper-gold project. And Goldstorm Metals (TSXV: GSTM) started geophysics at its Crown property near KSM/Brucejack. Drilling deeper The company used directional drilling to hit the Wolf target. Hole DV25-446 was a deflection from a north-sited mother hole near the base of the sedimentary cap, one of several daughter holes aimed along the plunge, the company explained. Five diamond drills are working in the Dolly Varden’s Kitsault Valley – combining the Dolly Varden and Homestake Silver projects – and nearby Big Bulk projects. They’re doing step-outs and infill at Wolf and Homestake Silver. Also, exploration at the separate Big Bulk porphyry is planned. The campaign was expanded in July to 55,000 metres, with directional work designed to deliver more pierce points while trimming actual new core to about 41,000 metres. The program follows a C$28.8 million financing that closed in June and a spring build-out of the district after acquiring the Kinskuch, Porter and MTB properties, broadening targets around Wolf and Homestake Silver. Kitsault Valley hosts 3.4 million indicated tonnes at 299.8 grams silver per tonne for 32.9 million oz. silver, and 1.2 million inferred tonnes grading 277 grams silver for 11.4 million oz. at the Dolly Varden area, according to a report from 2022.

World Liberty Financial’s Trump-linked WLFI token plunged in price after a high-profile debut, prompting its backers to propose an aggressive buyback-and-burn plan to steady the market. According to trading data and market reports, the token briefly traded above $0.30 at launch before falling as much as 15%–30% and settling around $0.21–$0.24 in the hours that followed. Early Volatility And What Hit The Market Based on reports, the sharp drop followed a large token unlock that added roughly 25 billion WLFI to circulating supply, a move that instantly inflated the paper value of the Trump family’s holdings. That unlock pushed the family’s stake into the billions on paper—various outlets put the tally near $5 billion to $6+ billion depending on the price used. Trading venues including Binance, OKX and Bybit handled early volume, and roughly $1 billion changed hands in the first hour on some platforms, according to coverage of the debut. Reports say early investors were allowed to sell a portion of their holdings, which likely amplified selling pressure as markets digested the newly tradable tokens. Proposal To Use Fees For Buybacks In response, World Liberty Financial’s community and team floated a buyback-and-burn program that would route 100% of protocol-owned liquidity (POL) fees from chains such as Ethereum, BNB Chain and Solana toward repurchasing WLFI on open markets and permanently burning those tokens. The aim, according to proponents, is to reduce circulating supply and support longer-term holders. Critics warn that burns funded by fees may take years to materially reduce the massive unlocked supply. Analysts and commentators pointed out a mismatch between headline valuations and the practical reality of supply dynamics. Depending on which price is used, WLFI’s market cap was reported across a wide band—some outlets published peak valuations in the billions, even as price swings kept the effective market cap volatile throughout the day. Political Ties And Regulatory Questions Reports disclose that the project’s ties to US President Donald Trump and his family have drawn extra scrutiny. Observers say that when political figures hold large token positions, questions about conflicts of interest and regulatory oversight tend to rise faster than normal market noise. World Liberty insists the project is a private venture with governance rules, but regulators and critics have said they will be watching closely. Market participants are now watching vote outcomes and governance updates closely. If the fee-to-burn plan is approved and implemented, it will be measured by how much protocol revenue it can divert into buybacks and how quickly those repurchases can reduce supply.

Critical Metals (NASDAQ: CRML) says the bankable feasibility study (BFS) for its proposed 500,000-tonne-per-annum rare earth operation in southern Greenland is now 70% complete, placing it on track for submission in the fourth quarter this year. The BFS forms a key part of the company’s development plans for its Tanbreez project, recognized as one of the biggest rare earth projects globally. The resource is estimated at nearly 45 million tonnes, of which 27% are categorized as “heavy” rare earths, which are highly sought after by Western suppliers for their use in clean energy, defense and other high-tech applications. The BFS work is being led by Danish engineering firm NIRAS, which completed environmental fieldwork for the 2025 baseline sampling program in support of the project’s environmental impact assessment. The study represents the central component of an updated Tanbreez exploration licence application, which will be submitted to Greenland authorities upon completion. This submission, says Critical Metals, will support the progression of the project towards final approval for commercial mining operations. The final BFS phase will include the completion of mine design and process plant engineering, tailings management and water treatment strategies, and integration of environmental and regulatory inputs. Tony Sage, executive chairman of Critical Metals, said its progress on the BFS and the completion of baseline sampling represent a “major milestone” for unlocking the full potential of the Tanbreez project, as the current resource only covers about 1% of the entire 4.7-billion-tonne mineralized kakortokite unit at Tanbreez. Recently, the company launched a 2,000-metre drilling program aimed at expanding the resource ahead of the BFS submission. The drilling will focus solely on the eudialyte component of Tanbreez mineralization found on the Fjord deposit, which accounts for about half of the 45-million-tonne resource. The BFS is expected to augment the results of a preliminary economic assessment released earlier this year, which gave the project a net present value of approximately $3 billion (approximately $2.8 billion to $3.6 billion at discount rates of 15% and 12.5%, respectively, before tax), with an internal rate of return (IRR) of 180%. The report outlined a phased growth strategy for Tanbreez, targeting production of around 85,000 tonnes of rare earth oxides per year, beginning as early as 2026, then potentially rising to 425,000 tonnes a year after modular expansion. The first buyer of its mixed rare earth products will be Ucore Rare Metals (TSXV: UCU), which will process them at its new facility in Louisiana under a newly signed offtake agreement. Despite the update, Critical Metals’ shares dropped 7.5% to $5.73 apiece, in line with declines seen in other US-listed rare earth miners. The New York-based company has a market capitalization of $588.7 million.

We are assisting at a very mixed picture across different asset classes – Equities are down after the long weekend, the US Dollar is up but correcting from its highs since the ISM Manufacturing PMI report, and Cryptocurrencies are sluggish, but showing signs of rebound. After sending worrying signs throughout the past week of price action, with Bitcoin correcting for the whole past week and Ethereum marking a new record in a weak-looking price action, cryptos are finding a floor with traders bracing for the upcoming Non-Farm Payrolls. Bitcoin has for example marked an intermediate low at around $107,000 at the extreme of its previous ATH support area and rebounding since, while Ethereum opens the week off its $4,200 lows. Bitcoin holding above $100,000 still paints a broadly positive picture for cryptos, but markets are starting to be more careful at the recent highs. A huge boost to sentiment should be needed to push BTC to a renewed ATH but everything is possible. However, Solana is still holding decent momentum. In the preparation of this shortened week of compact action (volumes were down hard yesterday due to a prolonged Labor Day weekend), let's have a look at intraday charts and levels for Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP and Solana. For reference, here is our previous Crypto market analysis. Read More:US Dollar strengthens after Labor Day – DXY technical outlookEuro CPI ticks higher, US ISM Mfg.

Breaking above would bring back bullish trends back to life – for now, the picture for the intermediate term is mixed and the short-term picture is still slightly bearish, as the action is evolving within a downwards channel (as seen on the chart) and the 4H MA 50 crossed below the MA 200. A soft beat on NFP expectations would be the goldilocks conditions for Bitcoin as the FED would still be expected to cut rates while sentiment wouldn't degrade too harshly – A strong miss could send fears of a too-late FED, while a strong beat would take out hopes for cuts.

Some technical concerns could be noted due to the sharp rejection right after marking its new record, not the best sign for continuation (watch Bitcoin's previous $72,000 ATH in November 2021 if you haven't). Nonetheless, the action is still far from bearish and points more towards consolidation as long a prices hold above the $4,000 to $4,095 pivot region. With buyers holding steady at the $4,200 level, bulls haven't given up anything yet – More on this as the week progresses. Don't forget that decisive momentum should pick up after Friday's US NFP release.

Now evolving within a downwards channel, it seems that the path is for gradual correction. Some buyers have stepped in at the $2.60 Support zone, which will be one of the last barriers before a retest of the previous break (around $2.20) would get higher probabilities of happening.

Ethereum is facing a pivotal moment as it struggles to hold above the $4,400 level after several days of heavy volatility and persistent selling pressure. The market’s recent downturn has put bulls on the defensive, with the threat of a deeper correction looming if support levels give way. Despite the uncertainty, Ethereum continues to attract significant interest from large investors, reinforcing the narrative of long-term confidence in the asset. Capital rotation between Ethereum and Bitcoin remains one of the defining themes of this market cycle. While Bitcoin has shown signs of weakness following its recent highs, Ethereum has benefited as institutions and whales shift capital toward the second-largest cryptocurrency. This trend suggests that Ethereum’s role as a core market driver is becoming even more pronounced. According to the latest data from Santiment, Ethereum whales have added massive amounts of ETH to their portfolios in just the past 24 hours. Such aggressive accumulation highlights growing conviction among large players, even as retail investors show signs of fear. Whales Add $1.1B In Ethereum As Capital Rotates From Bitcoin Analyst Ali Martinez reports that whales purchased 260,000 ETH in the past 24 hours, valued at around $1.1 billion. This staggering figure is not just another sign of demand—it confirms a dynamic shift unfolding across the market, where smart money is rotating out of Bitcoin and into Ethereum. Despite the heavy volatility and recent pullback, Ethereum continues to display remarkable resilience compared to Bitcoin. While Bitcoin has been losing key support levels and showing signs of weakening momentum, Ethereum has managed to hold above critical structural demand zones. This divergence between the two leading assets underscores the increasing confidence institutions and whales are placing in Ethereum’s long-term potential. Whale accumulation on such a scale often precedes significant market moves, as large holders tend to position ahead of broader market participants. The inflow of $1.1 billion into ETH highlights that major players see value at current levels, even as the market consolidates. As capital rotation intensifies, Ethereum is reinforcing its position not only as the leading altcoin but as a market driver in its own right. Analysts suggest that this could set the stage for a decisive breakout in the weeks ahead, with ETH potentially outpacing Bitcoin’s performance if current trends continue. The coming days will reveal whether this whale-driven demand is enough to fuel Ethereum’s next major rally. Ethereum Price Analysis: Key Support Under Pressure Ethereum (ETH) is currently trading at $4,384, showing signs of consolidation after several days of volatility and selling pressure. The chart highlights that ETH is testing critical support levels, with the 200-day moving average (red line) around $4,236 acting as a major demand zone. Holding this level is crucial, as a breakdown could accelerate losses toward the $4,000 psychological mark. The 50-day (blue line) and 100-day (green line) moving averages are hovering slightly above price action, showing ETH struggling to reclaim momentum in the short term. Multiple rejections around the $4,600–$4,700 range over the past weeks reveal strong supply pressure, with sellers actively defending higher levels. Despite the current weakness, ETH has managed to hold a higher low structure compared to its July base near $3,500, which suggests the broader uptrend remains intact. However, trading volume has declined, signaling reduced conviction among bulls. For ETH to regain strength, it must reclaim the $4,500 level and flip it into support. Failure to do so leaves ETH vulnerable to further downside. In the short term, the $4,200–$4,250 region remains the line in the sand for bulls to defend.

Gold scored a new high as the prospect of US interest rate cuts and growing concerns over the Federal Reserve’s future lifted the appeal of precious metals. Spot gold set an all-time record of $3,516.31 per ounce during the Asian trading hours, surpassing the previous high of $3,500.05 from April. By market open in New York, it had pulled back below the $3,500 mark, but still 0.8% higher on the day. Gold futures also touched a new high, trading at roughly $3,580 an ounce in the US. Gold has surpassed its highs from April. The latest rally has been fueled by expectations that the US central bank will lower interest rates for the first time in nine months, after Fed Chair Jerome Powell cautiously opened the door to a monetary easing. “Investors adding to gold allocations, especially as Fed rate cuts loom, are pushing prices higher,” UBS Group AG strategist Joni Teves wrote in a note. “Our base case is that gold continues to make new highs over the coming quarters.” “A lower interest rate environment, softer economic data and continued elevated macro uncertainty and geopolitical risks boost gold’s role as a portfolio diversifier,” Teves added. Suki Cooper, analyst at Standard Chartered Bank, gave a similar outlook: “The gold market is entering a seasonally strong period for consumption, coupled with expectations for a rate cut at the September Fed meeting.” “We continue to expect further upside risk for gold prices and forecast gold to average $3,500/oz in Q3 2025 and $3,700/oz in Q4 2025,” she said, highlighting that more record prices are in the offing. Growing US concerns Gold has more than doubled over the past three years, as mounting geopolitical and economic risks fueled relentless buying of safe haven assets. In 2025 alone, bullion has gained more than 30% amid global trade tensions fueled by US President Donald Trump’s aggressive tariff policy. Recently, Trump added a new layer of uncertainty with repeated attacks against the Fed that threatened the US central bank’s independence, causing alarm amongst investors. Markets are now waiting for a landmark ruling on whether Trump has legitimate grounds to fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook. If deemed legal, the move would allow the President to replace her with a dovish-leaning official. “The accusations against Cook are a clear warning to other FOMC members to bow to government pressure for substantial rate cuts … This makes gold investments more attractive in such an environment,” Commerzbank said in a note, in reference to the Federal Open Market Committee. Separately, a federal appeals court said late Friday that Trump’s global tariffs were illegally imposed under an emergency law, increasing uncertainty for American importers while potentially delaying the economic dividends promised by the administration. Key jobs report Attention now turns to US nonfarm payrolls data on Friday for cues on the size of a September rate cut. A weak job print this week could reignite the conversation around the possibility of a 50 bps rate cut at the meeting, said Zain Vawda, analyst at MarketPulse by OANDA. Markets are pricing in a 90% chance of a 25-basis-point rate cut at the Fed’s September 17 meeting, according to the CME FedWatch tool “I do not think this will happen, even if we get a poor NFP print, but market participants may start to price in the possibility, and that could fuel the gold rally,” Vawda added.

Aclara Resources (TSX: ARA) has received financial backing from the US government for one of its two rare earth assets in the Americas, in the latest example of Western nations attempting to build its own supply chain to counter China’s minerals dominance. In a press release Tuesday, the company announced that the US International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) has committed up to $5 million to support the development of its Carina heavy rare earths project in Goiás, Brazil. Specifically, the funds — to be provided under DFC’s Project Development Program — will go towards a feasibility study that is scheduled for completion in early 2026. Work on the feasibility began in July, and is being conducted by Hatch Ltd. as a continuation of the pre-feasibility, due later this month. “We are deeply honored to have been selected by the US DFC as a recipient of the project development funds. This initial investment is not only a validation of Aclara’s strategy, but also an important first step toward a larger commitment from DFC once we complete the feasibility study for the Carina project,” stated Aclara’s CEO Ramón Barúa. The DFC funding may be converted into equity of the company in the future. This can be triggered once Aclara completes a single financing of $50 million or more, or multiple financings of at least $75 million, within 12 months to fund the Carina project’s construction. Upon Aclara completing the financing(s), DFC will also have a preferential option to provide or arrange financing. Shares of Aclara rose to a 52-week high of C$1.57 on the funding announcement. By 10:30 a.m., it traded 5.5% higher at C$1.53 for a market capitalization of C$332.2 million ($233.6 million). Key heavy rare earth asset In July, Bloomberg reported that Aclara’s management held talks with US government agencies for possible financing toward its $1.5 billion plan to mine rare earths in Latin America. The company, which is 57% owned by the Hochschild Group, is developing two ionic clay deposits in Brazil and Chile, with Carina being its flagship. Aclara considers Carina to be a key rare earth asset that could reduce Western reliance on China, which currently accounts for 90% of the global supply. Chief executive Barua told Reuters last year that once in operation, Carina could produce about 13% of China’s rare earth output each year. According to a preliminary economic assessment, Carina could generate on an annual basis as much as 191 tonnes of dysprosium (Dy) and terbium (Tb), heavy rare earths that are essential to electric vehicle motors, wind turbines, and various defence and medical technologies. The report estimated a mine life of 22 years and a net present value of $1.5 billion, using an 8% discount rate, with an internal rate of return (IRR) of 27%. Production in 2028 The upcoming pre-feasibility study will look to improve on those economics, using a total resource count of 298 million tonnes grading 1,452 ppm total rare earth oxides (TREO) in the inferred category, for 432,000 tonnes of TREO. On the DFC funding for the feasibility study, Barua said that it would help de-risk the development of the Carina project while providing additional confidence to potential off-takers currently evaluating its viability as a long-term supplier of heavy rare earths. Earlier this year, Aclara launched a pilot plant to test the production of dysprosium and terbium from ionic clay extracted from Carina. The facility represents a key step in advancing the project towards production, which management is targeting for in 2028. The company is also eyeing a similar production timeline for its Penco project in Chile, which is smaller and hosts a measured and indicated resource totalling 27.5 million tonnes grading 2,292 ppm TREO, for 62,900 tonnes of contained TREO.

Post-Summer Trading Outlook: Uncertainty Looms Over Fed Cuts, Jobs Data, and Global Risks Federal Reserve interest rates – Post-Summer Trading Outlook The start of post-summer trading often mirrors the beginning of a new year, as traders and investors return from vacation and markets regain momentum. Historically, the first week of September tends to bring false starts, whipsaws, and choppy price action as liquidity builds back to normal levels (Trading Tip: Beware of a New Year Whipsaw). This time, however, markets are facing more uncertainty than clarity. from Federal Reserve policy and U.S. employment data reliability to political risks in Europe and legal challenges to tariffs in the U.S. Federal reserve interest rates Will the Fed Cut Interest Rates in September? The upcoming Federal Reserve meeting on September 16-17 is dominating market conversations. Current expectations place the odds at 90% for a 25-basis-point cut, with some forecasting a possible 50-basis-point move. The Fed faces a delicate balancing act: Slowing employment data Inflatio0n remains sticky Political pressure from President Trump for aggressive cuts is intensifying, raising concerns about the Fed’s independence. A 50 basis-point cut could be viewed as a concession to politics, which the Fed wants to avoid. For now, a 25-basis-point reduction appears most likely, but all eyes are on the August employment report due September 5, which could shape final expectations. Can We Trust U.S. Employment Data Anymore? Recent developments have shaken confidence in the reliability of Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) data. Massive downward revisions to prior months even led President Trump to fire the BLS commissioner, citing flawed reporting. Here’s what’s causing concern: BLS Job Cuts Lower Employer Response Rates – Greater Use of Imputation – initial NFP number seems more like an educated guess than a final figure. Markets still react strongly to the first release, but traders should watch revisions closely, as they often change the story weeks later. Will the French No-Confidence Vote Shake Markets? On September 8, French Prime Minister François Bayrou’s minority government faces a critical confidence vote over a controversial €44 billion austerity package. Opposition from both the left and far-right makes the government’s fall likely. If Bayrou loses, President Emmanuel Macron has three options: Replace Bayrou with a new prime minister. Keep him temporarily as a caretaker. Call snap elections, the most disruptive scenario for markets. So far, fears of contagion within the EU are not evident. Still, traders should monitor French stocks, bonds, and the spread between French and German yields for signs of stress. French vs. German 10 Year Bond Yield Spread (71.1 bps) Source: Investingt.com Are Trump’s Tariffs Legal? In another twist, the U.S. Court of Appeals ruled by 7-4 that the statute Trump used to impose sweeping tariffs did not grant him such authority. The government is expected to appeal to the Supreme Court, and then until the decision is made, tariffs remain in effect. Treasury Secretary Bessent predicts the court will uphold Trump’s use of emergency powers but admits there’s a backup plan if the ruling goes against the administration. This legal uncertainty complicates business planning and trade forecasts. Should Trump tariffs be deemed illegal, there is a risk that duties already collected would have to be refunded, which would add strain on government finances amid already high budget deficits. Is Fed Independence Under Threat? Perhaps the most profound risk is erosion of Fed independence. Trump’s push to install loyalists on the Fed board and his effort to fire Governor Lisa Cook for cause, which she refuses to accept, signal a looming constitutional and legal fight. Bond markets are already showing signs of concern, and history suggests that when bond vigilantes push back, policymakers take notice. However, the Trump administration is anything but predictable, and its response to a potential bond market revolt remains uncertain. Navigating a Market Full of Uncertainty As post-summer trading resumes, markets face a rare convergence of domestic and global risks: A Fed struggling to balance economic data and political pressure. Employment reports whose accuracy is increasingly questioned. A French political crisis that could spark volatility in EU markets. Legal uncertainty over U.S. tariffs and potential implications for trade policy. A fight over Fed independence that could unsettle bonds and the dollar. For traders and investors, the message is clear: expect volatility, stay nimble, and watch key catalysts like the August jobs report, French confidence vote, bond markets and tariff-related court rulings. In an environment like this, risk management isn’t optional. it’s everything.

Solana crypto is one of the most closely watched crypto assets. In 2024, it was among the top gainers in the top 10 most valuable cryptos. This surge was primarily due to the meme coin mania that swept across the board, lifting tokens like PNUT and WIF into the limelight. In 2025, Solana crypto was only at the center of attention in January, days before President Donald Trump was sworn in for his second term. Since then, Solana crypto has faded, coinciding with a sharp contraction in meme coin activity. Several metrics track this trend, and one of the simplest and most accurate ways to gauge interest is by examining meme coin launchpad activities, especially via Pump.fun. On this popular launchpad, current revenue pales compared to what was observed in January 2025 or late last year. (Source: Pump.fun Revenue, DefiLlama) Falling network activity often directly impacts token demand. In this case, SOL crypto could come under renewed pressure, especially if meme coin activity fails to resume or if some of the best cryptos to buy, like Bitcoin and Ethereum, fail to clear immediate resistance levels. DISCOVER: 9+ Best High-Risk, High-Reward Crypto to Buy in 2025 Solana Crypto DEX Trader Count Slumps by 90% in 12 Months: What’s Going On? Since how SOL ▼-0.17% performs is reliant on multiple factors, particularly on-chain activity, it makes sense to track the number of meme coins launched and how active traders are in swapping these tokens. According to Dune data, daily traders on Solana, interacting with decentralized exchanges like Raydium and PumpSwap, are declining rapidly. This year, the number of active traders fell from over 8 million in October 2024 to below 1 million by early September 2025. (Source: Solana DEX Traders, Dune) During this period, SOL USD prices peaked at around $300 before crashing to as low as $100 in April 2025. The SOL price has since recovered, aligning with the bull run from late 2023 and much of 2024. The declining number of Solana DEX traders points to possible disillusionment, coinciding with volatile meme coins. For example, TRUMP crypto prices surged to $75 before crashing to $6. Almost all other meme coins, including the best Solana meme coins, have been volatile, relinquishing last year’s gains and hitting multi-month lows. Official TrumpPriceMarket CapTRUMP8$1.66B24h7d30d1yAll time As Solana crypto DEX traders exit amid heightened market volatility, it remains to be seen what will happen to SOL USD. Historically, rising on-chain activity has coincided with surging SOL USD prices, driven by retail activity linked to mainnet activity. DISCOVER: Best New Cryptocurrencies to Invest in 2025 A Case for SOL USD Bulls: Golden Cross Forms Versus Bitcoin Despite the bearish outlook, Solana remains firm, trading above $200 at press time. Technically, bulls must prevent sellers from pushing prices below $185. A close above $220 could spark a rally toward $300 in a buy-trend continuation pattern. While SOL crypto holds strong against the USD, an analyst is bullish on its potential to outperform Bitcoin. In a post on X, they noted a golden cross formation, which often precedes sharp price movements. In 2021 and 2023, a golden cross in the SOL/BTC chart formed; weeks later, SOL crypto surged by over 1,000%. (Source: @0xc06 via X) A golden cross occurs when the 50-period moving average crosses above the 200-period moving average. Chartists view it as a bullish signal, guiding traders seeking buying opportunities on dips. However, this bullish signal does not guarantee a rally. A surge will likely require supportive fundamentals, such as public companies accumulating SOL and adding it to their balance sheets. Sol Strategies, Torrent Capital, DeFi Development Corp, and Upexi collectively hold millions of SOL crypto tokens, with most staking them for passive income.

The US dollar has posted sharp gains against most of the majors on Tuesday. In the North American session,EUR/USD is trading at 1.1672, down 0.33% on the day. The euro fell as smuch as 0.84% today but has recovered most of those losses after soft US manufacturing data. Eurozone CPI ticks up to 2.1% Eurozone inflation ticked higher in August to 2.1% y/y, up from 2.0% in July. This was just above the market estimate of 2.0%. Services inflation, which has been sticky, eased to 3.1% from 3.2%. Core CPI, which excludes energy and food, was unchanged at 2.3% y/y for a fourth consecutive time, above the market estimate of 2.2%. The core rate remained at its lowest level since October 2021. The calm in inflation means that the European Central Bank is likely to continue to maintain its key deposit rate at 2.0% at the September 11 meeting. Still, the ECB has its doves who favor further rate cuts in order to kick-start the weak eurozone economy. As well, the Federal Reserve is widely expected to cut rates this month, which will put pressure on the ECB to also lower rates. The central bank has inflation under control but is also concerned about inflation undershooting the 2% target.

enCore Energy Corp.’s (NASDAQ: EU; TSXV: EU) Dewey Burdock uranium project in South Dakota has been approved for inclusion in the Fast-41 Program by the US Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council. The program is part of the implementation of President Trump’s Executive Order on Immediate Measures to Increase American Mineral Production. Under the executive order, the Permitting Council identifies priority infrastructure and critical minerals projects to receive accelerated permitting review. Dewey Burdock is the first critical minerals project in South Dakota to be added to the federal fast-track system. enCore is currently the only uranium producer in the United States. It operates the 100%-owned Rosita central processing plant (CPP) in South Texas as well as the Alta Mesa CPP in a joint venture with Boss Energy (ASX: BOE). enCore plans to advance Dewey Burdock into development and production using the In-Situ Recovery (ISR) process. The method employs a chemical-free, water-based solution in the wellfield to dissolve uranium minerals underground, before pumping the uranium-bearing solution to a central processing plant for recovery. Compared to conventional open-pit or underground mining, ISR significantly reduces surface disturbance. The project, wholly owned by enCore, is located in Custer and Fall River counties and will recover uranium from subsurface sandstone ore bodies. The Dewey Burdock project hosts an estimated 17.1 million pounds of Measured and Indicated uranium resources at an average grade of 0.12% U₃O₈, with an additional 712,600 pounds classified as Inferred resources at 0.06% U₃O₈. Shares of enCore slipped 1% in early Tuesday trading in Toronto to C$3.24 ($2.35), valuing the company at C$608 million ($441 million).

XRP is trading below $3 after repeated rejections above $2.8 in the past 24 hours. A new chart analysis from crypto MadWhale shows the pressure building inside a descending channel that might push the XRP price down to $2.4. However, what stands out in his analysis is not just the price target; it’s the bigger question of whether XRP is starting to behave like a meme coin that is being controlled by crowd psychology and whale activity. XRP’s Psychological Cycle That Resembles Meme Coins In his analysis, which was posted on the TradingView platform, crypto analyst MadWhale outlined the repeating psychological cycle that often dominates meme coin markets and suggested that XRP may not be immune from it. The cycle begins with excitement, where social media buzz generates hype, followed by greed as traders rush in without much thought. This stage then shifts into social proof, when influencers amplify the golden opportunity narrative to pull in new investors at peak prices. It is at this very moment that whales begin quietly offloading their positions and cause the meme coin to enter a sharp correction. The result is panic selling by small traders, culminating in a capitulation where whales buy back cheap, restarting the cycle all over again. According to MadWhale, this trend is not limited to meme coins alone, but XRP’s current trading behavior is showing signs of fitting the same mold. MadWhale described whales as “masters of illusion,” capable of buying large chunks to pump the price, spread optimism, and then sell into the frenzy. This strategy is starting to create a cycle of retail fear and greed in XRP, where smaller traders are often left holding losses while whales re-enter the market at bargain prices. He noted that technical tools like Volume Profile, RSI, and the Fear and Greed Index can expose these plays. For instance, heavy volume accumulation at specific levels combined with overbought RSI readings and extreme greed sentiment show the perfect moment when whales start selling. Descending Channel Points To $2.40 Target According to MadWhale’s chart, XRP is trading within a well-defined descending channel that has shaped its price action since July 19. The repeated rejections around the $3 price zone have caused lower highs that have made it increasingly difficult for bulls to mount a sustained breakout. The most recent rejection was at $3, and the ensuing selling pressure has caused XRP to create successive 12-hour bearish candlesticks. The analyst’s projection on the chart shows a possible 14% decline to another major support resting around $2.40. This zone has been identified as the main daily support area, and reaching it would mark the latest stage of XRP’s corrective move inside the channel. On the other hand, any rebound attempts would first need to clear the $3 resistance. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.80, up by 1.4% in the past 24 hours.

Markets just received the report for the US ISM Manufacturing data, which missed slightly on expectations – The monthly release came at 48.7 vs 49.0 consensus – Still in contraction territory. US manufacturing is closely monitored by participants since US President Trump's mandate to bring back US production on top – his bet still has to show more results as the ISM Manufacturing PMI is still below the key 50.0 mark. Despite the rebound from the prior 48.0 report, Tariffs are still showing that they can bite and influence data quite largely. You can access the report right here.

Chile’s state-owned copper giant Codelco is warning that national production could stagnate at about 5.5 million tonnes per year as the industry faces mounting challenges. Chairman Máximo Pacheco said at the Ecos de la Minería summit in Santiago the sector faces “enormous difficulties,” citing deeper mining operations, falling ore grades and rising costs. Chile is the world’s top copper supplier, and a prolonged plateau in output could tighten global markets just as demand from the energy transition accelerates. Despite the challenges, Pacheco said Codelco is pressing ahead with upgrades and new ventures. He confirmed the company remains committed to a lithium partnership with SQM in the Salar de Atacama. He also said an exploration agreement with BHP (ASX: BHP) for the Anillo copper project will be signed this week, while a joint mining plan with Anglo American (LON: AAL) could be finalized in the coming weeks. SQM President Gina Ocqueteau told local paper La Tercera she is optimistic the deal with Codelco will be ratified before Chile’s next government takes office in March. She noted the partnership’s details could be finalized sooner but warned delays would postpone revenues needed for government projects. Two hurdles remain before the lithium deal can be sealed: completion of an indigenous consultation process and approval from China’s antitrust regulator, SAMR. Ocqueteau said the consultation, led by state agency Corfo, is well advanced. On SAMR, she noted “good news and a growing sentiment” but acknowledged concerns in Beijing over global lithium supply. Awaiting minister’s blessing Chile’s Energy and Mining Minister Aurora Williams confirmed the special contract underpinning the SQM-Codelco venture has already cleared reviews by the Comptroller General and state copper agency Cochilco. “The only thing left for us to do is sign it,” she said. The contract sets terms for exploration, exploitation, environmental safeguards and economic conditions. It is slated to give Codelco majority control of SQM’s lithium production in northern Chile. If approved, it would cement a landmark partnership in one of the world’s most strategic lithium assets. Some presidential contenders have said they would review the deal or scrap it altogether if it does not come through before President Gabriel Boric leaves office, putting pressure on his administration to finalize the key pillar of its vow to boost the state’s role in lithium production.

Traders are getting back to their desks after a prolonged weekend – Both the United States and Canada were celebrating Labor Day yesterday. The week prior to Labor Day tends to see slower movement and thinner volumes and despite recent volatility, this year was not an exception. Rangebound conditions have dominated currency markets since Powell's change of tone which shook up rate expectations for the FED – The upcoming Federal Reserve meeting, coming up on September 18, is close to a promised cut (90% of a 25 bps cut priced in). Volatility is now back on its feet to kick off the month. With the UK Government bonds opening the week with fresh concerns, a huge selloff in Gilts is leading another rout in the Bond market – With the GBP hurting at the same time.

Bitcoin is facing renewed volatility after losing the $110,000 level just a few days ago, a breakdown that has fueled uncertainty across the market. Bulls are attempting to reclaim this crucial support, but fear of a deeper correction continues to weigh heavily on sentiment. With every failed rebound, traders are left questioning whether this pullback is simply a pause within the broader uptrend or the beginning of a larger downtrend. Crypto analyst Darkfost has shared new data providing context for the current environment. Since Bitcoin’s most recent all-time high near $123,000, the asset has retraced by roughly -12%. According to Darkfost, this move remains well within the boundaries of a normal correction, especially when compared to historical pullbacks in previous bull cycles. Such corrections are often healthy, serving to reset leverage, cool overheated sentiment, and create fresh entry points for long-term investors. While uncertainty remains in the short term, history suggests that Bitcoin’s current retracement does not necessarily signal the end of the cycle. Instead, it may represent a period of stabilization before the next major move. Bitcoin Correction Aligns With Historical Patterns According to Darkfost, Bitcoin’s current retracement should be viewed within the broader context of this cycle rather than as a sign of structural weakness. Looking more closely, since the first all-time high in March 2024, the largest drawdown recorded so far reached 28%. Importantly, Bitcoin has not corrected more deeply than that throughout the ongoing bull market. Historically, the most severe pullbacks in bullish phases have averaged between -20% and -25%, placing the present move well within the expected range. With Bitcoin now down roughly 12% from its latest all-time high of $123,000, the retracement is still modest compared to prior cycle corrections. Darkfost emphasizes that this behavior is not unusual and could even extend further without breaking the underlying bull trend. In fact, such drawdowns are often healthy and necessary in long-term uptrends. They serve several functions: flushing out excessive leverage in the derivatives market, cooling down overheated sentiment, and shaking out short-term speculators. At the same time, they create new entry opportunities for investors who may have missed earlier stages of the rally. For long-term holders and institutions, these phases are less about panic and more about preparation. Historically, similar corrections have preceded renewed strength, as Bitcoin stabilizes before resuming its upward trajectory. If the current pattern holds, this retracement may ultimately strengthen the market foundation, setting the stage for the next leg of growth. Testing Recovery Level After Deep Pullback Bitcoin is attempting to recover after a sharp correction that took the price down to the $108K region. As shown in the chart, BTC recently bounced back above $110K but continues to struggle to sustain momentum. The rejection from the $123K zone marked the cycle’s most recent all-time high, and the market has since been in a retracement phase. The 12-hour chart highlights how BTC dipped below its 200-day moving average (red line) but quickly rebounded, signaling that bulls are still defending this crucial support. The 50-day (blue) and 100-day (green) moving averages, however, are trending downward, suggesting that pressure remains in the short term. BTC will need to reclaim the $112K–$115K zone to shift sentiment back toward bullish momentum. On the downside, losing the $108K level could open the door to a deeper correction toward $105K or even the $101K region, where the 200-day MA sits as the last line of defense. Bitcoin is consolidating in a fragile position. A decisive move above $115K could reignite bullish momentum, but failure to hold current support may confirm a prolonged correction phase before any attempt at a new all-time high.

South Korea will implement the Organization for Economic Cooperation’s (OECD) Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) starting next year. The country’s Ministry of Strategy and Finance officially launched the Information Exchange Agreement on 2 September 2025. What does this mean for crypto investors? Data on foreign investors using Korean exchanges will be shared with their home tax authorities, and records of Koreans trading overseas platforms will be reported to Korea’s National Tax Service. According to local media, a Ministry official said, “This is a separate matter from taxation.” The official added, “The purpose is to establish detailed regulations for implementing the Virtual Asset Information Exchange Agreement.” The move aligns South Korea with a 48-nation pledge to activate CARF by 2027. South Korea’s adoption of cross-border reporting of digital transactions will close offshore loopholes.

The data will then be shared via CARF to their home authorities from 2027. Details of Korean nationals investing in overseas asset exchanges will also be shared with National tax Service (NTS). Currently, the NTS requires voluntary reporting of overseas financial accounts holding more than KRW 500 million in stocks, deposits and virtual assets. According to the NTS, the amount of overseas virtual assets reported this year reached KRW 11.1 trillion, an increase of KRW 700 billion from the previous year. “Under the Virtual Asset Information Exchange Agreement, domestic virtual asset operators will be required to report personal information and transaction information of residents of partner countries to their respective tax authorities starting next year,” the report said. “This information sharing will begin in 2027, but transaction records will be included starting next year.” EXPLORE: 10+ Crypto Tokens That Can Hit 1000x in 2025 Tether, Circle Court South Korean Banks As Nation Prepares Stablecoin Regulatory Framework South Korea is now actively in the global race to regulate stablecoins. America’s recent push with the GENIUS Act and the CLARITY Act is clearly the catalyst in South Korea’s move to establish a formal regulatory framework. In August 2025, executives from the world’s two largest stablecoin issuers, Tether and Circle, landed in Seoul to hold meetings with the country’s financial leaders and regulators. South Korea’s Central Bank – Bank of Korea (BoK) Governor Lee Chang-yong met Circle President Heath. “Koreans must have access to stablecoins denominated in their own currency when buying and selling digital assets or making international remittances,” said Tarbert. Meanwhile, rival Tether took a lower-profile approach. CEO Paolo Ardoino met with executives from Hana Bank and KB Bank.

CARF applies across transaction sizes, in contrast to Korea’s separate rule that requires residents to report overseas financial accounts exceeding KRW 500 million.

As BTC ▲0.09% finally is holding above $110K, hackers are making headlines today in the crypto world, with recent attacks on BunnyXYZ and the Venus protocol. On Ethereum and Unichain, BunnyXYZ suffered a confirmed exploit resulting in $8.4 million in losses—$6 million drained from Unichain and $2.4 million from Ethereum. The attacker has since bridged all stolen funds over to Ethereum. The root cause appears to be a precision error in the protocol’s pool mechanics. The attacker reportedly performed a large swap to manipulate the price tick, then triggered repeated withdrawals to exploit the precision loss, before swapping back for profit. But Venus suffered even a bigger attack.

Security firm PeckShield reports that the user may have fallen victim to a phishing attack, unknowingly granting approval to a malicious address. This allowed the attacker to transfer the funds directly to 0xe04efd87f410e260cf940a3bcb8bc61f33464f2b. (Source: DeBank) The BunnyXYZ and Venus exploits serve as stark reminders that even minor technical flaws or user mistakes can lead to significant financial losses. These attacks highlight the growing threat of hackers in the crypto ecosystem. Stay safe out there! Crypto Market Flows: What’s Happening Beyond the Hacks?

Dogecoin could see its first meaningful turn higher around September 13, according to crypto analyst VisionPulsed, who argues the current drawdown fits a post-halving template in which markets remain weak until roughly 510–511 days after Bitcoin’s supply cut before staging a final run. In a video published on September 1, he told viewers, “I would argue starting around September 13th, the selling may subside… 511 days post halving last cycle, we were already going back up. 511 days post halving the cycle before that we were already going back up.” Dogecoin Pain May End September 13 The analyst frames the present weakness as part of a longer, slower cycle characterized by extended ranges rather than deeper collapses. “Unfortunately, we’re still going down,” he said, adding that in this cycle “the corrections have been longer… every time we go sideways, it’s forever.” He points to historical windows of September weakness—citing September 2–26 in 2021 and a shorter November dip in 2017—as signposts that align, by coincidence or causality, with the post-halving rhythm he tracks. VisionPulsed’s timing call is backed by the liquidity gauge M2, which he contends continues to correlate with crypto leadership even as that leadership rotates between assets. “Some people are saying the M2 doesn’t work anymore. I would disagree,” he said. In his view, the indicator “followed Solana basically to the tee” in 2023, then tracked Bitcoin, and more recently has matched flows into Ethereum and BNB as Bitcoin dominance fades. “Let’s not pretend BNB is not going up with the liquidity,” he said, while conceding, “I’m not going to sit here telling you that I know exactly where the liquidity is going to go next… I don’t know.” That leadership rotation, he argues, helps explain why some large-cap tokens lag. “Maybe our coins are not getting affected by the liquidity ’cause our coins are rubbish,” he said. He suggested that assets which already printed cycle-highs may see limited additional upside, extending the same logic to Bitcoin by arguing its ultimate peak may be closer than many expect: “Maybe it’s $140,000. Maybe it’s $130,000. It’s not going to $200,000.” He also claimed that XRP’s structure shows prior all-time highs on his charts, adding that it has not been participating in the latest liquidity impulse. For Dogecoin specifically, the analyst’s base case is that it remains down the market-cap leaderboard and has yet to benefit from the liquidity rotation that favored Bitcoin first, then Ethereum and BNB, with “slight” spillover to Solana. He cautioned that a broader “altseason” remains contingent on traditional risk appetite, pointing to the Russell 2000’s inability to break to new highs. “Until we have that present, I really wouldn’t be looking for an alt season,” he said, quantifying the lag between prior halvings and a confirmed small-cap equities breakout as roughly 18 days, then 123 days, then 190 days—versus more than 480 days without such a breakout in the current cycle. “Yes, this is the worst market cycle to date,” he said. “There’s no question. But that doesn’t mean it has to not happen. It just might be taking longer than we might have wanted it to.” While he pins September 13 as the earliest window for relief, VisionPulsed warned that the subsequent liquidity setup is noisier. He highlighted a zone from roughly September 14 to October 24 in which his M2 gauge tends to get “wonky,” noting that previous instances still allowed for a final all-time-high push even as the underlying measure wavered. “Will we go up for a top or will we just be bearish forever and ever? We’re going to find out together,” he said. For now, he concluded, “we are still bearish as of now,” emphasizing that the thesis is probabilistic and time-dependent rather than a guarantee. At press time, DOGE traded at $0.21.

The Japanese yen is sharply lower on Tuesday and has fallen to a two-week low. In the European session, USD/JPY is trading at 148.62, up 1.0% on the day. BoJ Deputy Governor says rate hike coming Bank of Japan Deputy Governor Ryozo Himino said on Tuesday that the central bank would raise rates if conditions were appropriate. Himino said there were "upside and downside risks for economy and inflation", citing the tight labor market and global economic uncertainty as upside inflation risks and tariffs and commodity prices as downward price risks. Himino said that the impact of US tariffs could be "smaller or larger than expected" and the BoJ woul have to carefully assess the situation. The remarks reflect a genuine uncertainty over the tariffs, as US President Trump has been erratic is his trade policy. Japan and the US have reached a deal in which most Japanese products will be tariffed at 15%, but some sticking points remain, such as Japan's import of US rice. Himino didn't provide any clues as to the timing of a rate hike but the markets are anticipating a hike in October or December. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bensen called out the BoJ in August, saying it had fallen behind the curve in the fight against inflation and needed to raise rates. Those hawish remarks raised expectations of a rate hike. The deputy governor added that underlying inflation is still below the 2% target but it is rising and will hit the target. This is another hawkish signal from the BoJ that it plans to move towards normalization and a rate hike is only a question of timing. ISM Manufacturing PMI expected to contract The US will release ISM Manufacturing PMI later today. Manufacturing has been in the doldrums, with five straight readings below 50, which indicates contraction. The market estimate for August stands at 49.0, which would be an improvement from the July reading of 48.0, the weakest level since October 2024. The weak global economy and the impact of counter-tariffs on US goods continues to dampen manufacturing activity. USD/JPY Technical USD/JPY has pushed above resistance at 147.22 and is putting pressure on 147.83.
