Anfield gets greenlight to build uranium mine in Utah
um tópico no fórum postou Redator Radar do Mercado
Anfield Energy (NASDAQ: AEC; TSXV: AEC) is one step closer to becoming the next US uranium producer after securing all approvals to begin construction of its Velvet-Wood uranium project in San Juan County, Utah. The approval, granted by the Utah Department of Oil, Gas and Mining, would allow for the acceleration of mine preparation, construction, and ultimately, production, the company said in a press release issued on Tuesday. Velvet-Wood is the first mining project that the US Interior Department approved for expedited permitting, as part of President Donald Trump’s national energy emergency declaration earlier this year. The property combines two separate areas that together hold 4.6 million lb. of uranium oxide equivalent (eU3O8) in the measured and indicated category. The Velvet area hosts a historic mine with 4 million lb. of U3O8 production between 1979 and 1984. Once in operation, most of the mining at Velvet-Wood is expected to take place underground, targeting known deposits left from earlier operations. Anfield’s share price jumped on this positive development, with its Toronto-listed stock gaining 8.5% at C$12.80 apiece for a market capitalization of C$201 million. Its newly listed NASDAQ shares also rose 7%. According to Anfield, it has been pushing to begin mine construction this year, and the Utah state approval would allow it to commence its near-term plans, including reopening of the mine portal, mine dewatering and construction of surface facilities. Corey Dias, CEO of Anfield, also noted that the project has a small environmental footprint, which is “advantageous to the company’s aim to pursue near-term production.” The proposed uranium mine is a key piece of Anfield’s integrated mine-to-mill strategy, underpinned by its Shootaring Canyon mill, one of only three licensed, permitted and constructed conventional uranium mills in the country. -
Dogecoin Cycle Signal: A Weekly Close Above $0.41 Could Make History
um tópico no fórum postou Redator Radar do Mercado
Based on historical patterns, Dogecoin’s price action often signals a major move after clearing a specific final resistance barrier. The focus is now on the weekly chart: a decisive close above the $0.41 level would replicate the exact conditions that launched previous parabolic rallies. This breakout is not just a technical move; it’s a cycle signal that could rewrite Dogecoin’s price history with another explosive surge. Historical Patterns Reveal DOGE’s Explosive Post-Breakout Rallies ÐOGECAPITAL, a well-known crypto analyst on X, recently shared insights into Dogecoin’s historical chart patterns, revealing a fascinating recurring trend. According to the analyst, Dogecoin’s weekly chart showcases a consistent pattern of explosive growth each time the asset breaks above a key yellow resistance line during the final phase of its market cycles. In the first major cycle, Dogecoin demonstrated remarkable strength, rallying 83x after successfully closing above this pivotal resistance level. The breakout marked the beginning of an extraordinary bullish phase that defined Dogecoin’s early reputation as one of the most volatile yet rewarding assets in the crypto market. During the second cycle, Dogecoin outperformed even its prior record, soaring roughly 183x once it breached the same yellow line. The pattern not only highlights Dogecoin’s cyclical nature but also strengthens the case that this technical formation has historically acted as a trigger for massive rallies. Dogecoin Nears The Key Breakout Zone Once Again According to ÐOGECAPITAL, Dogecoin is once again nearing the pivotal yellow resistance line on the weekly chart. With the line currently sitting around $0.41, the analyst noted that a confirmed weekly close above this level could mark the start of a new major rally. Breaking through the yellow line has consistently led to massive bullish expansions, suggesting that the current setup could once again serve as the foundation for another historic run. With the asset showing growing momentum, traders are watching closely to see if the breakout materializes in the coming weeks. While some may expect another exponential rally, potentially repeating the 83x and 183x gains from previous cycles, the analyst took a more cautious approach this time. Rather than making extreme predictions, ÐOGECAPITAL opted to remain conservative in the outlook for Dogecoin’s next leg upward. Based on this measured projection, the analyst anticipates a potential 37x move from $0.31 starting price in early 2025. If this scenario unfolds, it would put Dogecoin’s price around $11.71 by the end of 2025—a level that, while compared to past parabolic rallies, still represents a substantial gain and a strong continuation of the asset’s historical cycle pattern. -
Best Crypto Presales to Buy as Strategy Surpasses Coinbase’s Market Cap
um tópico no fórum postou Redator Radar do Mercado
Saylor’s Bitcoin investment pays off, as MicroStrategy (now just Strategy) has surpassed Coinbase in market capitalization. The move not only boosts the legitimacy of Saylor’s Bitcoin treasury strategy but also positions the company for its next step: potentially joining the list of the 500 largest publicly traded companies in the United States – the S&P 500. And even as Strategy eyes the next prize, the best crypto presales to buy get ready to make their own big moves. A Strategic Pivot Pays Off Coinbase, a leading cryptocurrency exchange with a $3.7B market cap, marked its arrival on public markets in 2021. MicroStrategy, formerly known primarily as an enterprise software firm, shifted its trajectory in 2020. The company adopted a bold treasury-centric approach, allocating capital to accumulate Bitcoin on its balance sheet. As Saylor initiated a steady Bitcoin-buying spree, he devised an entirely new approach to profiting from crypto: building treasuries out of Bitcoin (and Solana, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies). Q3 Gains Fuel Valuation Surge In the third quarter of 2025, Strategy reported a staggering $3.9B in fair-value appreciation tied to its crypto holdings. The scale of the increase suggests that Strategy’s treasury-first model is outpacing the returns of crypto infrastructure companies like Coinbase. With its valuation now surpassing Coinbase, Strategy is closing in on the upper echelons of U.S. corporate rankings. The firm is once again under consideration for inclusion in the S&P 500 index; earlier this year, it was passed over in favor of all like Robinhood and AppLovin. Further boosting Strategy’s good month was news that the US Treasury had issued interim guidance stating that corporations need not pay taxes on unrealized gains from digital assets. As a result, Strategy’s $3.9B gain sits untouched by tax obligations. That’s an unexpected windfall that materially strengthens Strategy’s financial standing. One way to achieve crypto market success is to hodl, hodl, hodl – that’s what Saylor did with Bitcoin, and it has Strategy on the brink of being one of the most successful companies in the US. Another strategy is to identify and invest in early-stage crypto presales, purchasing tokens at discounted prices and securing a favorable position for potential post-launch gains. Here are three crypto presales even Saylor wouldn’t miss. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) – Smooth, Fast, Cheap $BTC Transactions on Bitcoin Layer 2 Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) targets Bitcoin’s weaknesses. The original cryptocurrency is rock-solid, steady, and secure – but it’s also prone to congestion and has very low throughput (roughly 7 transactions per second). Networks like Solana, on the other hand, regularly handle thousands of transactions per second. To take advantage of that speed, Bitcoin Hyper uses a Canonical Bridge to wrap Bitcoin from the Layer 1 to the Bitcoin Hyper Layer 2. The Solana Virtual Machine on Hyper provides Solana’s vastly improved transaction speeds and significantly greater scalability, making transactions and micro-transactions with wrapped Bitcoin faster and more cost-effective. Bitcoin Hyper’s promise has already drawn over $22M into the rapidly growing presale. Learn how to buy $HYPER and don’t delay – tokens are currently priced at $0.013075, but this price will steadily increase as the sale progresses. Stay up-to-date with the latest information on the Bitcoin Hyper presale page. Maxi Doge ($MAXI) – Lift, Pump, and Repeat for Maximum Gains Maxi Doge ($MAXI) is the new dog in town, and it’s ready to make big moves. The heir apparent to Dogecoin, $MAXI aims to surpass even the original $DOGE’s $39M market cap. What does $MAXI need to succeed? Not much, as it turns out – just a vibe and a bit of buzz. The vibe $MAXI has already, with a decidedly mean and lean approach. This doge hits the gym and trades memes, and little else. However, $MAXI aims to build a buzz as well. In addition to tapping into the $52 billion dog-themed meme coin market cap, Maxi Doge allocates the majority of its tokenomics to marketing. 40% is allocated to the general marketing budget, with an additional 25% reserved for the 1000x Leverage Fund, which aims to fuel the most significant plays. What is $MAXI? Well, it could be the biggest doge yet. The presale has already surpassed $2.8M, with tokens priced at $0.000261. Check out the $MAXI presale page for the latest. BlockDag ($BDAG) – $400M+ Presale Powers Next-Gen Blockchain Network One of the key points of a crypto presale is to raise the funds necessary to deliver all the innovations a project sets out to achieve. BlockDAG ($BDAG) plans to build numerous Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) with the $400M+ it has raised so far. The project’s vision is expansive, envisioning a future of interconnected and interoperable blockchains that can communicate and interact with one another. Native compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and a foundation built on Bitcoin itself provide $BDAG with the architecture necessary to deliver on the project’s promise. That’s probably one of the factors that has driven the $BDAG presale well north of $419M. As BlockDAG plans for the future, Michael Saylor, the executive chairman and co-founder of Strategy, is optimistic. He believes inclusion in the S&P 500 is inevitable. He argues that each quarter’s performance cements confidence among banks, political actors, and institutional investors alike, making the next quarter even better. $HYPER, $MAXI, and $BDAG all seek to capture the same momentum. Which one will turn out to be the best crypto presale to buy in 2025? As always, do your own research. This isn’t financial advice.

Ivanhoe Mines (TSX: IVN) produced 71,226 tonnes of copper and a record 57,200 tonnes of zinc in the third quarter from its flagship Kamoa-Kakula and Kipushi mines in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the company said on Tuesday. Year to date, copper production totals 316,393 tonnes, with full-year guidance maintained at 370,000 to 420,000 tonnes of copper in concentrate. The company said mining is shifting to higher-grade zones in Kakula’s western section. Zinc production at Kipushi surged 37% quarter-on-quarter, driven by a program to remove processing bottlenecks and boost throughput. The improvement positions the mine among the world’s top zinc producers, Ivanhoe said. Production at Kakula came in slightly below Jefferies’ estimate of 73.7 kt, while Kipushi exceeded the firm’s 49.5 kt forecast, Jefferies analyst Fahad Tariq said in a note. “We see Ivanhoe Mines as a very high-quality asset portfolio with not only strong growth options but assets of global relevance,” Tariq said. “In particular, we view Kamoa-Kakula and the Western Forelands as the best new copper district in the world, with accretive growth likely to continue for the foreseeable future.” Shares of Ivanhoe fell 1.39% Tuesday morning in Toronto, giving the company a market capitalization of C$21.23 billion ($15.15 billion). Phase 1 operations at the Platreef Mine are expected to begin shortly, with the first feed of ore into the concentrator anticipated in the coming weeks. Ivanhoe faced production setbacks earlier this year due to seismic activity at the Kakula mine, which disrupted underground operations and lowered copper grades. The company has since ramped up efforts to address the challenges, including securing $500 million from Qatar’s sovereign wealth fund to expand operations and position Kamoa-Kakula as a top-tier global copper producer. In September, Reuters reported that Ivanhoe was in ongoing discussions with sovereign wealth funds for potential investments aimed at boosting production of copper and other critical minerals. Ivanhoe also confirmed the start-up of Africa’s largest copper smelter in early November, supported by a newly installed 60-megawatt uninterruptible power supply and 60 MW of diesel backup. The smelter will process all concentrate from Kamoa-Kakula’s three concentrators and produce up to 700,000 tonnes of sulphuric acid annually, a key reagent used across the Copperbelt. At Kipushi, Ivanhoe maintained its 2025 zinc production guidance of 180,000 to 240,000 tonnes.

Most Read: EUR/USD Slides on French Political Turmoil and USD Rebound, Lagarde/Fed Speakers Up Next The Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) is scheduled to announce its latest interest rate decision, called the Monetary Policy Review (MPR), this Wednesday, October 8th (at 2:00 PM New Zealand time). The meeting comes against a backdrop of disappointing data which included a contraction in economic activity. As a result, market participants cannot agree on how much the RBNZ will cut the main interest rate. Some predict a small cut of 25 basis points (a 0.25% drop), while others are forecasting a large, aggressive cut of 50 basis points (a 0.50% drop) to try and quickly reverse the negative economic trend. Source: LSEG As you can see from the LSEG data above, markets are split. 45.8% favor a 25 bps rate cut while 54.2% are favoring a 50 bps rate cut which leaves market participants with a lot of questions. The Potential Decision: 25bp vs. 50bp? Heading into the meeting it's clear that a cut will materialize but the split at this stage on whether to cut by 25 or 50 bps remains fairly even. A case to support a 50 bps cut? Those who are itching for a 50 bps rate cut will point to the severe macroeconomic setback recorded in the second quarter of the year. The June quarter GDP outcome registered a contraction of −0.9% QoQ, a figure that was 0.6 percentage points weaker than the RBNZ had forecast. While expectations for the September quarter GDP suggest modest positive growth, possibly exceeding the RBNZ's August MPS forecast of 0.3% QoQ, this increase is deemed insufficient to counteract the magnitude of the Q2 error. The idea is that a 50 bps cut would boost the confidence and activity ahead of the important Christmas and Summer trading period. A case for a 25 bps cut? The case for a more conventional 25 bps cut rests in the fact that Q3 data on inflation and employment will not be released ahead of this meeting. In simple terminology, the RBNZ would be ‘cutting in the dark’ as some have called it. The Weak Q2 Data is Driving the Uncertainty Source: LSEG, Table Created by Gemini Q3 Economic Indicators and Monetary Policy Context Despite the compelling need for stimulus, monthly price data suggests that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) will sit close to the top of the RBNZ’s 1–3% target range in the September quarter, aligning with the expected 3%-plus print in Q3 and Q4. The MPC, however, is expected to look through this headline inflation, as the ample excess capacity created by weak economic activity is deemed sufficient to moderate inflation toward the 2% target over the medium term. Labor market indicators confirm this weakness: filled jobs data is tracking consistent with the RBNZ’s August forecast of zero growth in Q3, which is likely to result in a further modest rise in the unemployment rate. Furthermore, job advertisements remain exceptionally low, confirming persistent slack. This suggests that the weakness observed in the urban economies and the services sector is sufficiently critical to override inflation concerns and demands proactive intervention focused on domestic activity. The MPC dynamics also favor aggressive easing. The most hawkish member has exited the committee, and the Governor is expected to lend greater weight to the remaining dovish members. This shift increases the likelihood that the MPC will adopt the aggressive "circuit breaking" stance. Market and NZD Impact Impact of 50 bps Cut (Dovish Surprise): While a 50bp cut would likely cause short-term pressure on the Kiwi dollar, that easing is now so well priced in that the downside risks for the NZD are reduced into year-end. Impact of a 25 bps Cut (Hawkish Surprise): a 25bp cut with a hint of another 25bp in November—remains the key threat to market stability. It would strongly signal that the committee sees less need for urgent action. This, in turn, would cause interest rates to suddenly and undesirably increase across the bond market, as traders would quickly cancel their current aggressive bets that the central bank will keep cutting rates fast.

MetaMask Airdrop? MM Reveals $30M Reward Scheme As Distribution FOMO Ramps Up
um tópico no fórum postou Redator Radar do Mercado
MetaMask, the world’s most popular crypto wallet developed by Consensys, is preparing to launch a large-scale rewards program aimed at boosting user engagement and strengthening its position in decentralized finance (DeFi). The MetaMask airdrop initiative will distribute over $30M worth of LINEA tokens in its first phase, as part of a broader plan to introduce a long-term incentive system for wallet users. According to Consensys, users will earn points by participating in everyday wallet activities, such as referrals, using the mUSD stablecoin, joining partner events, and performing token swaps or bridge transfers through MetaMask. The rewards will primarily come in the form of LINEA tokens, native to Consensys’ Layer 2 network, Linea, which launched earlier this year alongside a 9.4Bn token supply. Others shared similar concerns, suggesting that the new point-based system favors short-term “farmers” over actual long-term users. This skepticism reflects a growing divide between early supporters who expect retroactive rewards and newer users who are comfortable with modern reward systems that mirror loyalty programs in Web2 applications. DISCOVER: 16+ New and Upcoming Binance Listings in 2025 Consensys’ Decentralization Vision Despite criticism, Consensys and MetaMask leadership maintain that this program represents a necessary step toward decentralization and user ownership. Joseph Lubin, Ethereum co-founder and Consensys CEO, said the rewards program fits the company’s long-term strategy to make MetaMask community-driven rather than corporate-controlled. MetaMask is building the future of personal finance. We’re creating an experience that rewards people for how they already use MetaMask through meaningful incentives, perks, and referrals. This is just the first step toward a much larger evolution—one that deepens how MetaMask connects and empowers its community. Lubin added that future reward seasons will give more weight to consistent activity and loyalty, suggesting that long-time users could still gain benefits over time as the program expands. MetaMask’s newly launched mUSD stablecoin, issued by Bridge (a Stripe subsidiary), already has over $87 million in circulation. The token is expected to play a central role in the rewards system by linking DeFi transactions and potential governance features through the upcoming MASK token. The team has yet to share exact details about the point system, including whether it will include regional restrictions or anti-sybil protection measures to stop multi-account farming. More information is expected in the coming weeks. EXPLORE: 15+ Upcoming Coinbase Listings to Watch in 2025 MetaMask Airdrop Dilemma: How Can Rewards Be Fair for Both Early and New Users? For long-time users, the hope remains that MetaMask’s eventual MASK token launch will include some form of retroactive reward for early contributions—whether through past transaction volume, historical swaps, or wallet age. For new users, the rewards system offers an entry point to earn LINEA tokens simply by engaging with the ecosystem. MetaMask now stands at a crossroads. Its $30 million reward rollout may drive new adoption and bridge Web3 loyalty with real incentives, but it also raises important questions about fairness, recognition, and how crypto projects should value their earliest supporters. Whether MetaMask manages to balance both sides (rewarding the pioneers while expanding to a new generation) will likely define how the wallet evolves from a simple crypto tool into a fully community-owned DeFi platform DISCOVER: Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Guidance Could Channel $80B Into Crypto Key Takeaways MetaMask is launching a major rewards initiative that will distribute over $30 million in LINEA tokens, marking the first phase of the long-awaited MetaMask airdrop and loyalty system. Long-term MetaMask users argue that early adopters who paid high gas fees and supported the wallet during the DeFi and NFT boom deserve priority in the MetaMask airdrop over short-term farmers.

USDCAD steadies as Carney-Trump meeting boosts North American currencies
um tópico no fórum postou Redator Radar do Mercado
A key theme of 2025 has been broad North American currency weakness — particularly against the Euro and other European majors. Both the US Dollar and the Canadian Dollar have struggled to attract sustained inflows as economic momentum has slowed on both sides of the border. This comes amid a generally weaker Canadian economy (Canada Trade balance data missed again today at -6.32B vs -5.55B exp), the US Main rate remaining elevated and projected to get reduced (we only just got the first 25 bps cut), and, more importantly, US Tariffs hurting trade and economic activity further, particularly between the two neighbors. Markets received some decent Canadian Ivey PMI results (59.8 vs 51.6 exp) at 10:00 bringing back some hopes for better economic results for the Land of the Maple Syrup. With the prospect of tariffs or terms to them reducing with today’s meeting between Canada’s Prime Minister Carney and US President Trump, both the US dollar and Canadian dollar are strengthening against their peers. As a reminder, the CAD is, for example, at levels not seen since 2009 against the stronger Euro, and traders look for better fundamentals to support the currency. Fundamentals that are struggling to be found in a slow Canadian economy. Nonetheless, the better prospects for today’s meeting are helping both currencies regain some ground, leading to interesting developments in USDCAD. Let’s observe what they are through a multi-timeframe analysis of the North American pair. Read More: Markets Today: Yen Hits Two-Month Lows, DXY Continues Advance, Gold Retreats.

Overall, momentum for the US Dollar did calm sharply after a post-FOMC huge rise, leaving some space for the Loonie. This translates to a sideways moving RSI and sellers appearing at the 200-Day Moving Average. Looking forward, a break above that key MA (Currently at 1.3983) should also lead to continuation above the 1.40 level. Rejecting here however would point to higher odds of return into the August range at least. Let's have a closer look. 4H Chart USDCAD 4H Chart, October 7, 2025 – Source: TradingView Looking closer, the pair is consolidating in a triangle formation accentuating the odds of a breakout as prices converge.

Overall, bulls have more to lose in case the upward (Support) trendline breaks, but also receives a backup from the 4H MA 50 which will be the last barrier before re-entering the August range.

Titan Mining soars as EXIM weighs $120M graphite funding
um tópico no fórum postou Redator Radar do Mercado
Titan Mining (TSX: TI) says the US Export-Import Bank (EXIM) is weighing a potential funding of up to $120 million that would pave its way to becoming the first US-based fully integrated graphite producer. Titan, one of the largest zinc producers in the US, also aims to become a key supplier of graphite for battery, defense and industrial applications by processing natural flake graphite produced at the Kilbourne deposit in upstate New York. A central part of the Kilbourne project is a proposed 40,000-tonne-per-year commercial processing facility, to be built next to the company’s Empire State Mines zinc complex. At full capacity, the facility could supply about half of the US natural graphite market, the company has said. The EXIM funding, if approved, will cover a “substantial portion” of the capital required to construct its Kilbourne project in St. Lawrence County, Titan stated in a press release Tuesday. Under the terms indicated by the bank’s letter of interest, the $120 million loan will have a repayment tenor of approximately 12 years, including an interest-only period, and will reference the Commercial Interest Reference Rate (CIRR), currently around 5%. “This letter of interest marks a major milestone toward securing long-term, competitive-rate financing for project development as we continue to prioritize capital efficiency and disciplined balance sheet management supporting any construction decision at the Kilbourne project,” stated Rita Adiani, Titan’s CEO. Titan Mining’s shares surged over 9% to as high as C$2.42 apiece, its best since listing on the TSX in late 2017. The Vancouver-based miner has a market capitalization of C$328.3 million ($235.4 million). EXIM commitment The EXIM letter, part of the “Make More in America” initiative, further extends the bank’s funding commitment to Titan. In June, the export credit agency approved a $15.8 million loan to support the expansion of Titan’s zinc operations as well as the development of its graphite project. According to a resource estimate in December, the Kilbourne project site holds 22.4 million tonnes of inferred material grading 2.91% graphitic carbon (Cg) for 653,000 tonnes of contained graphite. Processing of the graphite concentrates will initially occur at 20,000 tonnes per annum, before the targeted capacity of 40,000 tonnes is achieved in 2027. Last month, Titan kicked off commissioning of its graphite processing facility. With all key operating permits secured, the company aims for its first processed natural graphite in the fourth quarter this year, with sales qualification to follow in early 2026. -
Dogecoin Faces Two-Month Deadline Before $2 Explosion, Says Analyst
um tópico no fórum postou Redator Radar do Mercado
Dogecoin (DOGE) is pressing into a technical inflection that, according to independent chartist Cantonese Cat (@cantonmeow), will either conclude the current upswing “in 2 months” or extend into a third-wave advance toward roughly $2. “Either the cycle’s over in 2 months, or it’s going to what I think is the next likely wave 3 target at $2 (1.618 of wave 1), give or take,” the analyst wrote on X, sharing a three-chart package that centers on the weekly Ichimoku profile, a daily trendline break, and multi-year Fibonacci levels. Dogecoin Cycle Collapse Or Wave 3 To $2 On the weekly timeframe, DOGE is trading around $0.27 and attempting to re-enter the Ichimoku cloud from below. The posted Ichimoku readout shows key levels clustered just above spot: the Tenkan/Kijun pair sits in the mid-$0.22 to mid-$0.25 area, while the forward spans bracket the cloud with an upper boundary near $0.2969. The chart annotation—“DOGE says it’s raining outside and it wants to get back inside the weekly Ichimoku cloud”—underscores that bulls first need a decisive close back inside the cloud body and then through its top, with the ~$0.30 zone acting as the immediate weekly resistance. A weekly acceptance above the cloud top would mark a regime shift from neutral/resistance to supportive conditions on Ichimoku terms; failure would keep price pinned beneath a heavy ceiling. The companion daily chart isolates structure within that broader setup. A long descending trendline drawn from the late-2024 highs is shown breaking to the upside in late Q2, with subsequent price action pulling back to retest the broken line in the mid-$0.24–$0.25 region and bouncing back toward $0.27. That sequence—breakout, retest, hold—keeps the short-term bias constructive so long as price remains above the reclaimed trendline and the late-September swing-low zone around $0.24. The analyst appended “DOGE daily—No update,” implying the daily structure remains intact and unchanged since the breakout and retest. The third chart frames the larger roadmap via Fibonacci measures taken from the multi-year base. Labeled retracement lines place 0.236 at $0.0843, 0.382 at $0.1177, 0.500 at $0.1542, 0.618 at $0.2021 and 0.786 at $0.2968, with the “1.0” marker at $0.4844. Above that, extension objectives plot at 1.272 ($0.9029), 1.414 ($1.2497) and 1.618 ($1.9934). These levels align with the analyst’s stated “wave 3” target near $2, while simultaneously highlighting the significance of the ~$0.30 band: it coincides with the weekly cloud top and the 0.786 retracement. A clean move through $0.2968–$0.30 would therefore open the path toward the 1.0 pivot at ~$0.4844. Conversely, rejection beneath $0.30 keeps DOGE trapped between the cloud underside and daily support, with $0.2021 (0.618) the next major Fibonacci support should the $0.24–$0.25 shelf give way. In short, the analyst’s two-way framing is anchored in clearly defined technical gates. The upside case requires weekly acceptance back into—and then out of—the Ichimoku cloud, led by a break of ~$0.30 and progression toward the $0.48 “1.0” marker and the $0.90–$1.25 extension band ahead of the 1.618 projection at ~$1.99. The downside or “cycle done” interpretation would be signaled by failure to hold the daily trendline retest and a slide back through $0.24 toward the $0.20–$0.21 confluence around the 0.618 retracement. For now, DOGE sits mid-range at roughly $0.27, with the cloud top at $0.2968–$0.30 acting as the next decisive test. At press time, DOGE traded at $0.26. -
Gold Nears $4K as Bitcoin Turns Bullish – Is PEPENODE the Next Crypto to Explode?
um tópico no fórum postou Redator Radar do Mercado
Gold came within a few dollars of $4K this morning, and that could light a fire under Bitcoin’s next rally. The precious metal’s surge to an all-time high reflects a global flight to scarce, inflation-resistant assets as confidence in fiat currencies continues to erode. Historically, Bitcoin ($BTC) trails gold’s moves before roaring ahead, and analysts now believe the setup for another leg higher is already in place. Meanwhile, institutional demand keeps growing. If gold and Bitcoin are climbing together, the next logical question is, where do retail investors turn for asymmetric upside in the next crypto to explode? Right now, that conversation leads straight to PepeNode ($PEPENODE). Gold Breaks Records as Investors Flee Fiat Gold futures briefly tapped $4K per ounce, while spot prices are pushing above $3,980, marking a record high and capping off a stunning 50% surge since January. The rally comes as investors flee weakening fiat currencies amid stubborn inflation, soaring US deficits, and intensifying geopolitical risk. Longtime gold advocate Peter Schiff called the move ‘a clear warning that current Fed policy is wrong,’ urging the central bank to reverse course. Now, big players are saying that $BTC has the same dynamic supporting it, and it’s time for Bitcoin to outperform. Both assets rise when faith in fiat collapses and governments overspend. The difference? Gold is traditional finance’s safety valve; Bitcoin is the decentralized one. Bitcoin Follows Gold as BlackRock’s $IBIT Nears $100B Bitcoin’s price action is once again mirroring gold’s trajectory – just on a delay. Analysts like Ted Pillows and James Bull point to an eight-week lag between the two assets, meaning Bitcoin could soon echo gold’s latest breakout. $BTC already touched $126K this week, up 33.5% year-to-date, but still trailing gold’s 50% surge. Former PayPal president David Marcus even argued that if Bitcoin were valued like gold, it would trade near $1.3M per coin – a bold statement that captures the shifting narrative toward digital scarcity. Institutional appetite is accelerating this shift. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ($IBIT) just became the firm’s most profitable ETF, earning $244.5M in fees and sitting only $2.2B away from the $100B milestone – a feat reached in just 435 days. The fund alone attracted $1.8B in inflows last week, reflecting Washington’s newly pro-crypto tone under the Trump administration. As gold tests $4K and $BTC eyes $150K, retail investors are already turning toward the next wave of scalable, high-engagement projects. Few capture that energy better than $PEPENODE’s ‘mine-to-earn’ model. PepeNode ($PEPENODE) – The Mine-to-Earn Meme Coin Powering a New Era While Wall Street tokenizes Bitcoin, PepeNode ($PEPENODE) is gamifying crypto mining. Instead of buying hardware or worrying about electricity bills, PepeNode lets you ‘mine’ meme coins virtually. Built on Ethereum, it introduces a simulated mining ecosystem where you buy, upgrade, and optimize Miner Nodes to generate $PEPENODE rewards. Every holder starts with an empty ‘server room,’ essentially your digital base where you can fill with custom nodes. Add or upgrade nodes to boost your yield, or sell them at any time to reclaim your tokens. It’s mining with built-in liquidity and strategy. Competitive leaderboards and community events turn earning into a game, rewarding top performers with extra prizes in trending crypto like $PEPE and $FARTCOIN. The project’s financials are already catching eyes: over $1.72M raised, token price at $0.0010918, and a massive 750% staking APY during presale. Find out why analysts forecast a potential 3x for $PEPENODE before the end of the year. The ‘mine-to-earn’ goes live when the token hits exchanges. As more players join, node demand increases, tightening supply and driving growth across the ecosystem. While Bitcoin ETFs dominate institutional headlines, $PEPENODE represents the retail side of the same story – a creative, yield-driven way to participate in crypto’s next phase. Join the $PEPENODE presale and get ready to fire up your virtual rigs. This article is not financial advice. Crypto carries inherent risks, so please do your own research (DYOR) and never invest more than you are willing to lose.

Cult TV Show Simpsons Makes Insane Crypto Price Predictions: VWA Crypto Red Flags?
um tópico no fórum postou Redator Radar do Mercado
The Simpsons is in the crypto headlines right now, following what seems to be fake news that a new web3 project, VWA crypto, will be featured on an upcoming episode of the hit TV show – is this Simpsons crypto prediction true? It wouldn’t be the first time the Simpsons have been in the news in relation to crypto. In a 2020 episode, titled ‘Frinkcoin’, which was a parody on crypto and NFTs, a news ticker showing crypto prices had an infinity symbol next to BTC and XRP with $100, which caused a stir at the time. In the same Simpsons episode, the show also made predictions that GameStop (GME) stock would increase by 1 trillion, while the USA was at -1/4. Currently, Bitcoin is trading at around $124K, while XRP is ranging between $2.90 and $3.00, slightly closer to its $100 prediction by The Simpsons than the BTC to ‘infinity’ call. What is VWA Crypto? Fake Simpsons Claim Causing FUD for ‘Vanguard’ VWA crypto is a new project that launched on October 1, slated as an RWA project, and its X account has ‘Backed by @Ripple’ in its bio. This alone has raised many eyebrows, as the team is all anonymous and Ripple has yet to confirm any connection to the VWA project. Since its launch on Solana, VWA crypto has gone from a market cap of just $100K to $7.5M, where it is currently holding steady with around $1.3 million in daily volume. There are many influencers online promoting VWA, making claims that it integrates the SWIFT banking system and reiterating the dubious claims of being backed by Ripple. The true red flags have come in a seemingly fake rumor circulating that the VWA crypto token will be mentioned in an upcoming episode of The Simpsons on November 22. The VWA team has leaned into the rumor by posting the date on social media, which is fuelling the unsubstantiated claims. It would come as a massive surprise for such a globally renowned show, such as The Simpsons, to mention crypto for the first time in five years by featuring a new, sub $10M project with multiple red flags surrounding it. (SOURCE: GeckoTerminal) DISCOVER: The 12+ Hottest Crypto Presales to Buy Right Now ‘V’ in VWA Crypto Stands for Vanguard: Another Red Flag! The ‘V’ in VWA crypto stands for Vanguard, with the project seemingly larping as the $9.3T asset manager with this RWA project. While Ripple and SWIFT have not confirmed any connection with the VWA project, Vanguard has also not come out to support the token. A project less than a week old, claiming to be backed by Ripple and fueling rumors of a Simpsons TV show appearance, as well as SWIFT integrations, while calling itself Vanguard, is incredibly suspicious, and investors should remain vigilant when interacting with the project. Bubblemaps Showing 87% of VWA Supply is Linked: Nail in the Coffin? (SOURCE: Bubblemaps) The final nail in the coffin for VWA crypto is its token supply. Bubblemaps shows that over 60 linked wallets control around 87% of the supply, a damning indictment for any crypto project, making the possibility of a full-blown rug pull extremely likely. With the team preparing for a major announcement on November 22, if the project is indeed a scam, any nefarious actions are likely to occur before this date, as they lure traders into buying VWA in anticipation of a significant announcement near the end of November. Traders should proceed with caution when considering VWA crypto, waiting for confirmation from either Ripple, SWIFT, or Vanguard that it is a legitimate project before making any investment in the token.

Osisko’s Gaspé project in Quebec seeks deep-pockets partner
um tópico no fórum postou Redator Radar do Mercado
Osisko Metals (TSX: OM) CEO Robert Wares is confident on expanding the largest copper project east of the Mississippi while getting the permits and partner to develop it. The Gaspé project at a former Noranda mine in Quebec is due for an update on its 1.5-billion-lb. copper resource across indicated and inferred categories in February, Wares told The Northern Miner by phone last month. The proposed mine is due for a preliminary economic assessment by the end of next year followed by a feasibility study in 2027. It’s already on government permitting radars though it’s too early for a capital spending estimate. “We’re hoping to get on [Prime Minister] Mark Carney’s Building Canada Act to fast-track the process, and we’re already in discussions with the federal government on that,” Wares said. “By the time we get to the final investment decision, which is now scheduled for the end of 2029 – obviously, if the share price supports it – it’d be standard financing and maybe 60% debt and 40% equity.” Osisko’s project on the Gaspé Peninsula jutting into the Gulf of St. Lawrence aims to revive one of Canada’s historic mines into a modern large-scale operation in time for surging new-energy demand for copper. It would support throughput of 150,000 to 160,000 tonnes per day, placing it among Canada’s largest operations. Backed by federal and provincial support, discussions with the Mi’kmaq First Nations, and full offtake rights already secured by Glencore (LSE: GLEN), Gaspé might start producing roughly 500,000 tonnes a year of copper concentrate around 2032. Partner One of the project’s challenges is finding a copper major willing to make the mine a reality. Wares is betting on the project’s scale and Osisko’s heritage to attract suitors. Part of the Osisko Mining team that expanded and sold Canadian Malartic to become one of the country’s biggest gold mines (now with Agnico Eagle Mines (TSX, NYSE: AEM)), and also sold Windfall to Gold Fields (NYSE, JSE: GFI) – is back together after John Burzynski joined last year as executive chairman. Glencore might be an option, considering it holds a convertible note that could translate into an 18% equity stake next year. (Franco-Nevada (TSX, NYSE: FNV) and Quebec’s largest pension fund, La Caisse, are also on the share register and 30% is held by board members and employees.) “I’m speculating, so we haven’t discussed it, but it would be very much an interest, and in Glencore’s interest, to help us on the capex financing,” Wares said. “Glencore, I think, would also be very open, of course, to us bringing a partner, a producing partner, to get this thing built.” There’s also a small grinding headache among lower hurdles. Original tests suggested crushing ore to 75 microns but plans will likely have to be recalibrated to an industry standard of 150 to 300 microns, the CEO said. Bus trip However, challenges found in other locations such as opposition from the local town or from Indigenous groups have mostly evaporated, Wares said. Osisko plans to secure a kind of environmental stewardship deal with the Mi’kmaq First Nations this year, and a recent site visit proved a hit with residents of Murdochville. It was the first time in 50 years the site was opened to the public. “They were very touched by the fact that early on, we’re willing to fill up a bus full of seniors,” Wares said. “And of course, most of the seniors are people who used to work at the mine.” The project carries the legacy of one of Canada’s great mines, which operated for decades before closing in 1999. The Copper Mountain deposit was discovered in 1921 and Noranda mined some 150 million tonnes of copper grading 0.87% from the site starting in 1955. The mineralized system about 825 km northeast of Montreal remains open to the south and southwest. New drilling has intersected mineralization beneath the existing pit model. Hole 30-1109 cut 134 metres grading 1.04% copper from 727 metres depth, as well as 41 metres of 1.35% copper from 543 metres downhole, Osisko said Sept. 18. Another hole, 30-1106, returned 34 metres of 1.04% copper from 864 metres depth. “We view these results as positive for Osisko Metals shares,” Scotia Capital mining analyst Eric Winmill said in a note. “Infill drilling returned long mineralized copper intercepts while expansion drilling encountered additional mineralized intercepts outside the current resource area.” Resource The project hosts 824 million indicated tonnes grading 0.27% copper, 0.015% molybdenum and 1.74 grams silver per tonne for contained metal of 2.23 million tonnes of copper, 124,000 tonnes of molybdenum and 46 million oz. of silver, according to an estimate released last November. The inferred resource is pegged at 670 million tonnes grading 0.3% copper, 0.02% molybdenum and 1.37 grams silver for contained metal of 1.99 million tonnes of copper, 133,000 tonnes of molybdenum and 29.5 million oz. of silver. Quebec has also signalled strong backing for the project, establishing an action committee to coordinate local economic benefits in the Gaspé Peninsula. The province this year saw 350 megawatts of hydropower freed up after Northvolt abandoned plans for a battery plant, and Osisko is already in talks with Hydro-Québec to secure an allocation. Wares said the mine could require about 200 MW, putting it in line with other large-scale industrial users. The province and Ottawa also have potential funding in the billions of dollars for transition metals like copper. “If you make this – and that’s our intent, politically, is to make this definitely a Canada building project in the copper space – it’s kind of hard to go wrong on that front,” Wares said. “We’ll get significant funding opportunities from both levels of government.” -
Ondo Secures SEC-Registered Infrastructure With Oasis Pro Acquisition
um tópico no fórum postou Redator Radar do Mercado
Ondo Finance has officially completed its acquisition of Oasis Pro, a major step that positions the company as one of the most regulated and strategically equipped players in the digital asset industry. The deal includes SEC-registered licenses for a broker-dealer, alternative trading system (ATS), and transfer agent (TA) — giving Ondo the most comprehensive regulatory framework among US digital asset firms. This acquisition comes at a pivotal time for the market. As altseason begins to take shape and investor appetite for real-world asset (RWA) tokenization grows, Ondo is quickly emerging as a dominant force. Analysts point to Ondo’s strategic partnerships with Chainlink and its expanding institutional infrastructure as catalysts that could propel its value and influence in the coming months. By integrating Oasis Pro’s infrastructure, Ondo gains the ability to create, manage, and trade tokenized securities within a compliant environment. With the global tokenized securities market projected to surpass $18 trillion by 2033, Ondo’s position looks stronger than ever. The fundamentals are aligning for significant growth, making Ondo one of the most closely watched projects in the RWA ecosystem. Ondo Expands Regulated Capabilities As Bitcoin breaks above its all-time high, optimism across the crypto market is spilling into altcoins — and Ondo Finance appears perfectly positioned to benefit from this renewed momentum. On Monday, the company announced it had completed the acquisition of Oasis Pro. The timing of this move could hardly be better, as investors look for fundamentally strong projects leading the next phase of capital rotation beyond Bitcoin. Through Oasis Pro, Ondo now gains the legal and technological infrastructure to build regulated markets for tokenized securities. The acquisition brings a full suite of traditional financial tools into the on-chain world — including a system for issuing and trading tokenized real-world assets, a transfer agent solution for managing ownership, and approval to operate secondary markets for tokenized equities and corporate debt. It also expands Ondo’s reach into complex financial instruments such as REITs, structured products, and privately placed securities, areas traditionally inaccessible to most crypto investors. With altcoins regaining traction and institutional capital increasingly focused on real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, Ondo’s regulatory expansion strengthens its long-term fundamentals. As Bitcoin’s surge reignites risk appetite, projects like Ondo — combining real-world finance with blockchain efficiency — may lead the next wave of value in the market. Price Analysis: Consolidation Before The Next Move The daily chart shows a clear period of consolidation, with price currently trading around $0.94 after multiple failed attempts to break above the $1.00 psychological resistance. This level has acted as a strong cap since August, repeatedly rejecting upward momentum and forming a narrow trading corridor between $0.85 and $1.00. Despite this sideways action, ONDO remains structurally solid. The token continues to hover near the 50-day moving average, suggesting balanced conditions between buyers and sellers. Meanwhile, the 200-day moving average around $1.10 serves as a major resistance — a breakout above it could confirm a mid-term bullish reversal. On the downside, support near $0.85 has held firmly since June, preventing deeper retracements. Momentum indicators suggest a potential accumulation phase. Trading volume has cooled off, but that could signal quiet accumulation ahead of a broader market move, especially given the strong fundamentals following Ondo’s recent Oasis Pro acquisition. As Bitcoin trades near all-time highs, the market environment favors high-quality altcoins with strong narratives — and ONDO fits that profile. A decisive breakout above $1.00 could trigger a new leg upward toward $1.20–$1.30, while failure to do so might extend the consolidation in the short term.

Can MicroStrategy Follow Warren Buffett, Berkshire Hathaway And Stash Bitcoin Using Yen?

Politics aside: Borrowing dollars is damn expensive. And this only vindicates Trump. He has been right all along. A lower fund rate and the economy will see more money in circulation. Who knows, the economy might expand at an unprecedented rate. For what’s clear, MicroStrategy is buying Bitcoin at premium rates, considering that every pile of BTC bought is from borrowed funds. According to Bitcoin Treasuries, Strategy, formerly MicroStrategy, currently owns 640,031 BTC, more than 10X the stash held by the second largest public entity, MARA Holdings. As aggressive as Metaplanet is in buying Bitcoin, the Japanese firm is nowhere close to where Strategy is. By October 3, their holdings exceeded $77Bn, and with the Bitcoin price ticking higher, it might soon hit the $100Bn level. (Source: Bitcoin Treasuries) The last time Strategy bought Bitcoin was in late September when it acquired 196 BTC at $113,000 per BTC. Their average BTC acquisition price is nearly $74,000. As such, even at spot rates, Strategy is up nearly +100% in profits, which encourages stashing even more. This stance is assuming the Bitcoin price soars to as high as $150,000 in a historically bullish Q4. (Source: Strategy, X) DISCOVER: 9+ Best Memecoin to Buy in 2025 Strategy Will Keep Stashing Bitcoin Regardless of market conditions, Strategy will likely continue buying more Bitcoin. Earlier this year, they announced a plan that will see the business intelligence firm raise $42Bn over three years to fund the purchase of Bitcoin. From the $42Bn, $21 billion will be issued via equity sales, while the rest, $21Bn, will be raised from fixed-income securities. Market Cap 24h 7d 30d 1y All Time In late February, Strategy issued a +0% convertible senior notes due in 2030, raising $2Bn. From the $2Bn, they bought 20,356 BTC at an average price of $97,800. Roughly four months earlier, in late November, just when Bitcoin broke $75,000, they also issued a +0% convertible senior notes due in 2029. From this debt, they raised $5bn, buying 134,480 BTC at an average price of $89,286. By Q1 2025, Strategy had raised $20Bn, nearly half of its $42Bn objective, to buy Bitcoin. Throughout this year, the public firm said it was well-positioned to “further enhance shareholder value by leveraging the strong support from both retail and institutional investors” in achieving its strategic plan. The thing is, every dollar raised is expensive as the current interest rate environment stays at over +4% and is multiples higher than in other regions, especially Japan. Will Strategy Follow Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway to Japan? The idea of borrowing cheap and buying an asset that can appreciate, earning higher yields, is compelling. Michael Saylor, the founder of MicroStrategy, is closely watching. He recently floated the idea of multi-currency borrowing to keep their “Bitcoin yield” flywheel spinning. The Yen and Euros are on their radar as possible targets for the firm to raise funds by selling preferred shares. Of the two, the Yen can be a cheaper option. As of early October 2025, the Bank of Japan has interest rates steady at +0.50%. They were in negative territory before March 2024, when the central bank aggressively raised rates. (Source: TradingEconomics) And if they do, they won’t be the first ones, according to one analyst on X. Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway have been taking advantage of the low borrowing rates in Japan for years.

The macroeconomic environment, sustained institutional demand, and expectations of a dovish Federal Reserve make the scenario of Bitcoin reaching new all-time highs in Q4 the base case. In any event, the forecast for BTC in Q4 2025 points to confident growth. Despite high volatility, Bitcoin managed to hold onto yesterday's gains, while today the US dollar continues its positive momentum, with the USDX index trading slightly above yesterday's high at 98.47. At the same time, market uncertainty remains elevated, driven by a mix of opposing factors, prompting investors to be cautious — both in buying and selling the dollar. Meanwhile, demand for traditional safe-haven assets such as silver and, to a greater extent, gold remains high, preventing prices from declining significantly from the recent record highs. In contrast to traditional markets, the cryptocurrency market appears to be dominated by optimism. Yesterday, Bitcoin reached a new record high of $126,200. Leading the gains in recent months is Binance Coin (BNB) — the BNB/USD pair is now testing the $1,290 level. Since the start of the year, this represents a gain of +84%. The native token of Binance's BNB Chain has been growing for three consecutive years, tripling in value over that time. Nearly all top-10 cryptocurrencies by market cap have shown positive performance since the beginning of October. As for Bitcoin, it has risen 10% month-to-date, gaining about $11,500 per coin. Despite a 0.12% drop in total crypto market capitalization over the past 24 hours to $4.214 trillion (according to TradingView), this is only a mild correction from recent record highs. Since the start of the month, total crypto market cap has increased by 8.2%, up from $3.9 trillion. Meanwhile, the so-called "Crypto Fear and Greed Index" has shifted back into the "Greed" zone, currently sitting at 57 out of 100, indicating continued investor interest in buying cryptocurrencies. Although some crypto market experts believe the peak of the current bull cycle may have already passed or is near, and are anticipating a transition to a bear market, the majority still expect Bitcoin to remain the main driver of crypto market dynamics throughout Q4. Popular altcoin tokens are also expected to demonstrate accelerated growth. Historically, Q4 has been a favorable period for cryptocurrency gains — as we noted in our recent report "Crypto Market Outlook: Q4 Forecast." The crypto market is extending its bullish momentum, supported by several key factors: 1. Inflow of capital into ETFs The primary driver of the current rally is the steady inflow of capital from institutional investors, especially from US buyers. Spot ETFs on leading cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum have seen significant inflows: US Bitcoin ETFs attracted $3.24 billion last week — the highest weekly figure since November 2024. The first three days of October alone brought in nearly $2.3 billion to Bitcoin ETFs. Ethereum-focused funds saw inflows of $1.3 billion over the same week. 2. Positive sentiment and institutional adoption Public figures and politicians are increasingly expressing support for Bitcoin. Eric Trump, son of former President Donald Trump, stated that cryptocurrency could solve problems in the financial system and "save the U.S. dollar." Such comments build investor confidence and foster a "fear of missing out" (FOMO). Digital assets are becoming more deeply integrated into traditional finance — a clear sign of growing institutional adoption. 3. Macroeconomic factors The US government shutdown, which halted operations of federal agencies and suspended the publication of key macroeconomic data, has made it difficult for the Fed to assess inflation and employment trends. Without access to current data, market participants struggle to make informed decisions and increasingly turn to non-dollar assets. Amid this high uncertainty, expectations of monetary policy easing have grown. Markets are reacting to Donald Trump's pressure on the Fed, pricing in a 97% chance of a rate cut in October, with two rate cuts expected by the end of the year. Risks to the US dollar, along with potential new stimulus measures, including targeted cash payments, are boosting interest in Bitcoin as a safe-haven asset. Forecasts and resistance levels Analysts forecast that Bitcoin could reach $135,000 by year-end. At the current pace of growth, that target may be reached sooner. October is historically marked by increased volatility, active trading, and rising volumes. The key resistance level for Bitcoin is seen in the $129,000–$130,000 range, where a significant amount of sell orders is concentrated. A breakout above this level could open the path to $135,000–$140,000. Overall outlook The macroeconomic backdrop, strong institutional demand, and expectations of a dovish Fed make new all-time highs in Q4 the base case for Bitcoin. Either way, the Q4 2025 BTC forecast suggests confident and continued growth. The material has been provided by InstaForex Company - www.instaforex.com

Global miners raked in $700B in 2024 despite rising pressures
um tópico no fórum postou Redator Radar do Mercado
The global metals and mining industry posted one of its strongest financial performances in two decades last year, earning $700 billion in profits despite a 6% drop in revenue, according to McKinsey’s newly released Global Materials Perspective 2025. The report highlights that while profitability remains robust, the sector faces mounting challenges from declining ore grades, complex mining conditions, and stricter environmental and labour standards. All of these factors are driving up costs and squeezing margins, McKinsey said, noting that sustained investment in technology, electrification and digital tools will be crucial to maintaining productivity gains. Profit pools have shifted from coal and steel toward copper, gold, and aluminium, as productivity has rebounded by roughly 1% annually since 2018, led by Latin America and North America. The industry’s structure continues to fragment: the market share of the top 10 mining firms has fallen from 60% in 2000 to 30% in 2015, where it has since stabilized. Source: Global Materials Perspective 2025. Regional shifts are reshaping the sector. China and North America have gained share, while Europe’s dropped to 11%. Steel’s share of total market value has halved since 2000, now standing at 10%. Demand remains resilient, with more than half of forecasted growth through 2035 expected to come from energy transition materials. McKinsey notes that artificial intelligence (AI) data centres alone could drive a 3% increase in global copper demand by 2030, underscoring technology’s growing influence on raw material markets. Asian lead Asian nations are projected to dominate demand growth, accounting for more than 45% of global expansion by 2035. Meeting this demand will require $4.7 trillion in capital investment, 270 GW of new power capacity, and 350,000 new jobs worldwide. Despite pressures, capital markets remain strong, with total shareholder returns up 3.5 times and market capitalization doubling since 2015. The report identifies four key shifts since last year’s edition: rising resource nationalism; accelerated materials demand from AI technologies; a visible rebound in productivity driven by generative AI and automation; and slowing decarbonization. This is particularly true in Europe’s steel industry, where nearly one-third of planned projects have been delayed or cancelled. Coal’s around Thermal coal production, meanwhile, reached a record eight gigatons, signalling uneven progress on the energy transition. Still, the long-term demand outlook remains positive, fuelled by population growth, expanding middle classes, and the adoption of low-carbon technologies.

Bitcoin Will Not Crash: Jeff Park Rejects Paul Tudor Jones’ 1999 Comparison
um tópico no fórum postou Redator Radar do Mercado
Jeff Park, chief investment officer at ProCap BTC and an advisor to Bitwise, pushed back against Paul Tudor Jones’ latest warning that markets “feel exactly like 1999,” arguing that the macro regime of 2025 is structurally different from the dot-com era and, crucially, more supportive of Bitcoin. Park’s commentary followed Jones’ interview on CNBC, where the billionaire trader said the setup resembles the late-cycle blow-off that preceded the tech crash, even as he continued to praise Bitcoin as an asset with high appeal. Bitcoin Will Thrive, Not Crash In a X post, Park called comparisons to 1999 “lazy,” contending that the drivers of asset prices today are dominated by fiscal and monetary dynamics that bear little resemblance to the surplus-era, pre-QE backdrop of the late 1990s. “In 1999, markets were driven by private sector exuberance at a time with minimal fiscal drag—the US govt was actually running a budget surplus,” he wrote. “Today the markets are entirely influenced by massive fiscal spending and debt monetization as the US is obviously drowning in debt.” Park concluded flatly: “So no. To me it doesn’t ‘feel exactly like 1999’ at all. It feels like the opportunity of a lifetime for those who are prepared.” Park contrasted the Federal Reserve’s present posture with that of the Greenspan Fed at the height of the dot-com boom. “In 1999, Fed was raising rates, balance sheet was small, and there was no QE. In 2025, rates are declining, the balance sheet is massive, and we have more acronyms than we can count,” he said, arguing that abundant liquidity—now more globally synchronized—has become the defining feature of this cycle. He added that with the US Treasury General Account refilled, the world is “about to embark on a global liquidity binge.” He further emphasized the presence of powerful cross-border feedback loops that did not exist 25 years ago, pointing to policy transmission and supply-chain realignments that tether US risk assets to the global economy. Park cited Japan as an example of how overseas policy can amplify liquidity conditions, referencing pro-stimulus signals from incoming leadership. On Monday, Japanese equities surged after Sanae Takaichi won leadership of the ruling LDP on expectations of ongoing fiscal support—an event markets read as another nudge toward accommodation. Park also drew a sharp distinction between the late-1990s dollar cycle and today’s macro hedging behavior, arguing that, unlike in 2000–2002, gold is now “literally on a tear with every sovereign actor playing the board.” On the day of his remarks, spot gold printed fresh all-time highs above $3,900 per ounce, a move widely attributed to safe-haven demand and expectations of further US rate cuts—context that underscores Park’s point about the current reflex to hard assets. Where Jones sees echoes of exuberance that could end badly, Park sees a regime that channels liquidity into scarce, non-sovereign assets—bitcoin foremost among them. He argued that “in 1999 there was no bitcoin, social media, nor smartphones. In 2025, everyone around the world has an escape valve in their pocket,” a line that cuts to Bitcoin’s structural difference from dot-com equities: bearer settlement, programmatic issuance, and a growing base of global distribution that can be mobilized in real time. Paul Tudor Jones On Bitcoin Jones’ own stance on Bitcoin remains constructive even as he warns of a frothy tape. In his CNBC appearance, he said the environment “feels exactly like 1999,” invoking the Nasdaq’s parabolic move into March 2000, but he also reiterated the asset’s appeal—continuing a years-long thread in which he has described bitcoin as a powerful inflation hedge and “one of the fastest horses.” The split-screen—macro caution on equities, optimism on bitcoin—helped catalyze Park’s rebuttal that this cycle is “built for Bitcoin, not bubbles.” Notably, Park’s argument neither denies the possibility of sharp drawdowns nor guarantees a unidirectional path. Rather, it hinges on the composition of liquidity, the nature of fiscal dominance, and the behavior of hard-asset hedges in an era of heavy sovereign balance sheets. Gold’s concurrent breakout, Japan’s policy bias toward stimulus, and investors’ hunt for non-dilutive stores of value all feed his core contention that 2025’s setup “is nothing like 1999”—and that Bitcoin, more than the dot-com darlings of yesteryear, is positioned to be the principal beneficiary. At press time, Bitcoin traded at $124,024. -
Rio Tinto, Japanese partners pour $733M into Pilbara mine
um tópico no fórum postou Redator Radar do Mercado
Rio Tinto (ASX: RIO) and its Japanese joint-venture partners will invest $733 million to extend the life of the West Angelas iron ore hub in Western Australia’s Pilbara region by developing new deposits. The Robe River Joint Venture, which includes Mitsui & Co. and Nippon Steel, has secured state and federal approvals for the West Angelas Sustaining Project, in the works since 2018. Rio Tinto will contribute $389 million toward the development, which will maintain the hub’s annual production capacity at 35 million tonnes and extend mining operations for several years. Construction will generate about 600 jobs, while 950 full-time positions will be sustained once the project becomes operational, Rio Tinto said. First ore from the new deposits is expected in 2027. The mine extension is part of Rio Tinto’s broader strategy to sustain output across the Pilbara by replacing production from aging operations. Together, these mines support a total annual capacity of around 130 million tonnes. Keeping up West Angelas has been a key part of Rio Tinto’s operations since 2002. Beyond this project, the miner is advancing a pre-feasibility study at Rhodes Ridge, targeting an initial capacity of up to 40 million tonnes per year, with first ore planned by 2030. Rio Tinto also recently opened the $2 billion Western Range iron ore mine in partnership with China Baowu Steel Group, aimed at sustaining output from its Paraburdoo hub for up to two decades. A report from Australia’s federal Office of the Chief Economist on Tuesday confirmed that iron ore remains Australia’s top resources export, valued at more than A$100 billion ($66 billion) annually. Weaker prices, however, are expected to reduce export earnings by A$3.9 billion ($2.6 billion) to A$113 billion ($74 billion) this financial year, and further to A$103 billion ($68 billion) next year. -
USD/JPY: Tips for Beginner Traders on October 7th (U.S. Session)

Trade analysis and advice for trading the Japanese yen The price test of 150.58 in the first half of the day coincided with the MACD indicator having already moved significantly above the zero line, which limited the pair's upward potential. In the second half of the day, market attention will shift to U.S. trade balance data and consumer credit figures. A reduction in the trade deficit could positively influence the dollar, especially if the actual value exceeds expectations. Consumer credit volumes, on the other hand, serve as an important barometer of consumer sentiment and spending willingness. An increase in consumer credit may indicate optimism and confidence in the future, which usually supports economic growth. However, excessive credit growth could create risks related to high household debt and potential reductions in consumer spending in the future. Additionally, it is worth following interviews with FOMC members Raphael Bostic and Michelle Bowman. A cautious, dovish tone from policymakers could trigger a new wave of USD/JPY gains. For intraday strategy, I will mainly rely on scenarios #1 and #2. Buy Signal Scenario #1: I plan to buy USD/JPY today at an entry point around 150.87 (green line on the chart) with a target of 151.21 (thicker green line on the chart). Around 151.21, I will exit the long positions and open sales in the opposite direction (expecting a 30–35 point reversal). The pair's rise can continue following the morning trend. Important! Before buying, ensure the MACD indicator is above zero and just beginning to rise from it. Scenario #2: I also plan to buy USD/JPY if there are two consecutive tests of 150.67 while the MACD indicator is in the oversold area. This would limit the pair's downward potential and trigger a market reversal upward. Growth toward the opposite levels of 150.87 and 151.21 can then be expected. Sell Signal Scenario #1: I plan to sell USD/JPY today after breaking below 150.67 (red line on the chart), which will trigger a quick decline in the pair. The sellers' key target is 150.33, where I will exit short positions and immediately open long positions in the opposite direction (expecting a 20–25 point rebound). Downward pressure may persist if data are weak.Important! Before selling, ensure the MACD indicator is below zero and just beginning to decline from it. Scenario #2: I also plan to sell USD/JPY if there are two consecutive tests of 150.87 while the MACD indicator is in the overbought area.

GBP/USD: Tips for Beginner Traders on October 7th (U.S. Session)

Trade analysis and advice for trading the British pound The test of 1.3469 coincided with the MACD indicator just beginning to move down from the zero line, which confirmed the correct entry point for selling the pound. As a result, the pair dropped toward the target level of 1.3440. A sharp decline in the Halifax House Price Index in the UK brought renewed pressure on the GBP/USD pair. The published data, showing an unexpected drop in housing prices, intensified concerns about the state of the British economy and the prospects for further monetary tightening by the Bank of England. Investors closely monitoring financial stability indicators viewed this report as a warning sign—especially since growth was forecast, not a decline. After the morning volatility caused by a series of data releases, market attention in the second half of the day will shift to U.S. macroeconomic statistics. Of particular interest are the trade balance and consumer credit figures. A larger-than-expected trade deficit could put pressure on the dollar, as it signals a greater reliance on imports, which is generally negative for the currency. However, Trump's policies could significantly influence this metric. Meanwhile, consumer credit is an important indicator of household sentiment and spending willingness. Growth in consumer credit typically signals optimism and confidence in the future, which usually supports economic growth. As for intraday strategy, I will rely more on scenarios #1 and #2. Buy Signal Scenario #1: I plan to buy the pound today at an entry point around 1.3453 (green line on the chart) with a target at 1.3485 (thicker green line on the chart). Around 1.3485, I will exit the long positions and open sales in the opposite direction (expecting a 30–35 point reversal). A strong rally in the pound today can be expected only after weak U.S. statistics. Important! Before buying, make sure the MACD indicator is above zero and just beginning to rise from it. Scenario #2: I also plan to buy the pound if there are two consecutive tests of 1.3431 while the MACD indicator is in the oversold area. This would limit the pair's downward potential and lead to an upward reversal. Growth toward the opposite levels of 1.3453 and 1.3485 may then be expected. Sell Signal Scenario #1: I plan to sell the pound today after breaking below 1.3431 (red line on the chart), which will trigger a quick decline in the pair. The sellers' key target will be 1.3400, where I will exit short positions and immediately open long positions in the opposite direction (expecting a 20–25 point rebound). The pound could drop sharply in the second half of the day. Important! Before selling, make sure the MACD indicator is below zero and just beginning to decline from it.

Here’s The Best Time To Buy Bitcoin As Impulse Wave Sets Path To $150,000
um tópico no fórum postou Redator Radar do Mercado
With the latest rally to a new all-time high above $125,700, the Bitcoin price looks to have begun another path that could lead to multiple new all-time highs. At this time, market sentiment has moved back into the positive, and this continues to show in the way the price has held above $120,000 despite the corrective dips. Crypto analyst CrediBULL Crypto believes that this means that the Bitcoin price is set on its path to $150,000, so this report takes a look at the breakdown. Why The Bitcoin Price Is Headed To $150,000 And The Best Time To Buy In the analysis that was shared with over 478,000 followers on the X (formerly Twitter) platform, CrediBULL Crypto highlights the recent move that saw the Bitcoin price hit a new all-time high. According to the analyst, the fact that it was an impulse move led to this all-time high is bullish, and shows that the cryptocurrency is ready for the next leg-up that will lead it to $150,000. Naturally, there have been pullbacks when the Bitcoin price has retested the $121,000-$122,000 zone. However, the price has held up, and most especially, it is well above $108,400, which was the start of the impulse wave. Given that this level was the bottom that began this recent move, the Bitcoin price remains bullish as long as it continues to trade above it. This also drives into the fact that there are particular areas of interest from here that would make for a good entry point. The crypto analyst points out the next demand zone that is lying firmly between $108,000 and $118,000, due to how the last move began and played out. CrediBULL Crypto explains that for the crypto traders who had shorted the move between $108,000 and $118,000 and are now stuck with underwater bags, a return to this zone would create a strong area of demand. This is because these traders would be looking to close their underwater positions or possibly refill their positions at these levels. Either way, the outcome is the same: it would create a lot of demand at this level, making it a potential area for a bounce. Going by this logic, if the Bitcoin price does retrace back anywhere between $108,000 and $118,000, then it would be an ideal time to buy. “Dips into that zone of 108-118k are a blessing if we get them- and if not, well then enjoy the ride to 150k,” the analyst stated. However, this depends entirely on the Bitcoin price holding above the $108,400 start point. If the price were to fall below this level, then it is possible it would invalidate this bullish thesis and trigger more sell-offs once again. -
EUR/USD: Tips for Beginner Traders on October 7th (U.S. Session)

Trade analysis and advice for trading the euro The price test of 1.1696 coincided with the MACD indicator just beginning to move down from the zero line. This confirmed the correct entry point for selling the euro and resulted in a 30-point drop in the pair. The political crisis in France continues: today, French Defense Minister Le Maire also resigned. This came just a day after the resignation of the Prime Minister, who had served for only 27 days. Political turbulence has reached its peak, plunging the country into deep uncertainty and calling into question the stability of the ruling coalition. The resignation of key government figures one after another indicates a serious split within the ruling elite and the inability to find compromise on key issues of domestic and foreign policy. Clearly, the wave of resignations is rooted in fundamental disagreements over economic reforms, next year's budget, and France's role in the European Union. All this, undeniably, puts pressure on the euro. As for the outlook for the second half of the day, the key focus will be on U.S. trade balance and consumer credit data. Positive figures, especially a reduction in the trade deficit due to Trump's policies, could support the dollar. Additionally, speeches are scheduled from FOMC members Raphael Bostic and Michelle Bowman. If their tone leans dovish, it could quickly bring renewed pressure on the dollar. As for the intraday strategy, I will rely more on scenarios #1 and #2. Buy Signal Scenario #1: Today, buying the euro is possible at around 1.1680 (green line on the chart) with a target of rising to 1.1715. At 1.1715, I plan to exit the market and also sell the euro in the opposite direction, expecting a 30–35 point move from the entry level. A euro rally today can be expected only after weak U.S. data. Important! Before buying, make sure the MACD indicator is above zero and just beginning to rise from it. Scenario #2: I also plan to buy the euro if there are two consecutive tests of the 1.1658 level at the moment when the MACD indicator is in the oversold zone. This would limit the pair's downward potential and lead to a reversal upward. Growth toward the opposite levels of 1.1680 and 1.1715 may then be expected. Sell Signal Scenario #1: I plan to sell the euro after reaching 1.1658 (red line on the chart). The target will be 1.1622, where I will exit the market and immediately buy in the opposite direction (expecting a 20–25 point rebound from this level). Pressure on the pair may return at any moment today. Important! Before selling, make sure the MACD indicator is below zero and just beginning to decline from it. Scenario #2: I also plan to sell the euro if there are two consecutive tests of the 1.1680 level while the MACD indicator is in the overbought zone. This would limit the pair's upward potential and lead to a reversal downward. A decline toward the opposite levels of 1.1658 and 1.1622 may then be expected.
