Another round of tensions have arised in Eastern Europe since this weekend's largest ever attacks from Russia towards Ukraine. For the first time, Russia launched drones into Poland (from Belarus) and marks one of the first times a NATO and EU member gets attacked since the beginning of the 2022 conflict. Close to 20 drones were launched and EU Countries jumped to intervene which prevented most impacts except for one polish house that got damaged. Poland invokes article 4 to assemble NATO leaders and we should see what arises from here. A prolonged war in Eastern Europe adds to disruptions in the Oil Market but with Russia flooding its buyers with super cheap petrol, prices have been holding down. Recent increased turmoil in the Middle East have also contributed to a small rebound in Oil prices from their relative lows, but the commodity is still far from actively bid. Are markets disregarding upside risks to further Oil market disruptions? We'll have a look at a multi-timeframe chart analysis to attempt to see if something is preparing for WTI – Ahead of the June Israel-Iran spikes, a breakout had started to occur for those who were not watching.

However, a double bottom (not showing strong reactions signs for now) but also a rising and diverging RSI momentum, a sign of potential reversal. A potential daily flag formation could also be into play, but its shape is a bit extended due to the previous June Israel-Iran war spikes – It will be interesting to see what happens if Markets rise to test the descending flag triangle trendline.

Having recently tested its lows, buyers will have to show up to avoid rangebound action or further downside momentum, particularly after having formed a double bottom. A failure to hold the most recent lows ($61.84) would not see much support between the $60 level. The price action is still hesitant, held by the 50-period MA currently at $64 and will be a key barometer for future price action.

Ethereum layer-2 network Linea has its token-generation event today, in one of the most hyped launches in the past few years. Linea is aiming to use its upcoming LINEA crypto token as an incentive to draw the world’s capital to Ethereum, both on and off-chain. Linea is described by its backers as the most ‘Ethereum-aligned layer-2 network’, as the chain will offer native yield to ETH stakers, as well as an ecosystem fund comprising approximately 54 billion LINEA tokens that will be used to attract users to its network. Linea’s long-awaited token generation event (TGE) is coming today, September 10, just a few hours from now. Here’s a look at everything you need to know about the LINEA token, including who can claim it. 75% of the total supply of LINEA tokens will be awarded to active participants within the Linea ecosystem. This distribution will be managed by a collective group of Ethereum-aligned entities known as the Linea Consortium. The consortium includes firms such as the Ethereum treasury, Sharplink Gaming, ENS Labs, Eigen Labs, and ConsenSys. Their responsibility is to allocate the ecosystem fund to those who are contributing to the growth of the Linea network and Ethereum. Small portions of the 75% have already been approved for distribution by the consortium. This includes 4% allocated at the Token Generation Event (TGE) for liquidity providers during the Linea Surge event. Additionally, a further 1 billion LINEA tokens have been approved for distribution as part of Linea Ignition, a liquidity bootstrapping event that runs through October 26. The remaining 15% of the LINEA supply is designated for Consensys, the development firm that incubated the L2 network. All 15% of these tokens are locked for a period of five years, highlighting the long-term strategy and belief that the Consensys team has placed in Linea.

The 12-hour Dogecoin chart shared by the analyst Cantonese Cat (@cantonmeow) maps a textbook Adam and Eve double-bottom that has been forming since early August. The left trough (“Adam”) is a sharp V-shaped selloff into the swing low at $0.18864. The second trough (“Eve”) is a broader, rounded base carved through late August and early September, with price repeatedly defending the lower-mid range around the $0.20–$0.21 band that aligns with the 0.136 Fibonacci retracement at $0.19976 and the 0.236 level at $0.20836. How High Can Dogecoin Go Short-Term? In classical charting, an Adam and Eve is a two-stage reversal structure: a fast, vertical capitulation (Adam) followed by a slower, more symmetrical and rounded retest (Eve) that often reflects absorption and basing. The pattern is validated by a breakout through the “neckline,” defined by the intervening peak between the two troughs. The measured move is typically calculated by adding the height from the neckline down to the Adam low to the neckline level. Failure is generally signaled if price closes back below the Eve trough, while quality improves when the neckline is broken on expanding range and follow-through. The pattern’s neckline coincides almost perfectly with the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement, plotted at $0.24473. Into the latest 12-hour candles, DOGE has rallied from the rounded “Eve” base to test this band, printing a wick marginally above it before slipping back to trade around $0.241 on the chart. That keeps the market pressing against the neckline formed by the mid-August reaction highs, but not yet conclusively through it. Measured traditionally, the Adam & Eve objective is derived from the height of the structure added to the neckline. Using the chart’s own anchors, the vertical distance from the neckline at $0.24473 to the Adam low at $0.18864 is $0.05609. Projected upward, that yields a primary price target at approximately $0.30082. This target sits between the Fibonacci extension cluster marked on the chart: the 1.0 extension at $0.28746 and the 1.272 extension at $0.32236, with higher extensions shown at 1.414 ($0.34223) and 1.618 ($0.37294). The Fibonacci ladder also outlines the near-term battlegrounds. Immediate resistance is the neckline/0.618 at $0.24473. A clean 12-hour close through this band would put the prior swing area at the 0.786 retracement ($0.26268) and the 0.886 retracement ($0.27398) in view, before the chart’s 1.0 marker at $0.28746. On pullbacks, intermediate supports are layered at the 0.5 retracement ($0.23287), followed by 0.382 ($0.22157), then the 0.236/0.136 pocket at $0.20836/$0.19976. The structural floor of the entire formation remains the August swing low at $0.18864. In sum, the analyst’s 12-hour map frames DOGE compressing beneath a neckline at $0.24473 after building a two-month Adam & Eve base. The pattern’s measured objective is ~$0.3008, with the chart explicitly marking subsequent Fibonacci waypoints at $0.2875, $0.3224, $0.3422 and $0.3729 on continuation, and support shelves stepping down through $0.2329, $0.2216, $0.2084, $0.1998, to $0.1886 at the base. At press time, DOGE traded at $0.24.

Following years of legal battles, PredictIt is finally approved by the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Now, the online prediction platform is getting set to go live in the US in October, operating as a designated contract market (DCM) and a derivatives clearing organization (DCO). This way, it’ll be able to expand into broader, more liquid markets with much greater regulatory clarity. With ambitious plans to operate ‘beyond politics,’ it might follow the likes of Polymarket – the largest online prediction platform – and include crypto bets. When considering the US’ current crypto-friendly stance under Trump, this wouldn’t come as a surprise. Say that happens, it could be highly bullish for the best presales to buy; a renewed surge of capital being injected into digital assets would likely attract attention to promising early-stage opportunities. PredictIt’s 400K Users Might Soon Hedge Crypto Bets Although PredictIt’s path to US regulatory approval hasn’t been easy, the platform attracts over 400K active users. It initially launched in 2014 as an academic project backed by Victoria University of Wellington and operated by D.C.-based Aristotle Inc. During this time, it ran under a CFTC no-action letter so it could operate as a non-profit prediction market. Such an exemption was revoked in 2022 and sparked an extremely lengthy legal battle. But it’s not all been bad. By mid-2023, an appeals court allowed PredictIt to keep operating while the case proceeded. Finally, by mid-2025, the company settled with the CFTC so it could continue under the Prediction Market Research Consortium (a US-based non-profit). It’s now preparing to operate in the US. But there’s a slight hitch: It’ll be entering a crowded field of rivals. One such example is Polymarket, which received CFTC approval just last week. Because it runs on the Polygon network (hence its apt name), Polymarket is extremely popular in the crypto community. This is partly because it goes beyond speculating on traditional events, but also crypto milestones, like ‘What price will Bitcoin hit in September?’ Given Polymarket’s success in crypto bets, it wouldn’t be surprising if PredictIt expanded into Web3 predictions to give it a leg up in the sector. As a result, it might even override its largest competitor. Should it incorporate on-chain forecasts, it would increase awareness of crypto among its 400K+ users and beyond. In turn, the best crypto presales like Maxi Doge ($MAXI), Aethir ($ATH), and Best Wallet Token ($BEST) are poised to thrive. Maxi Doge ($MAXI) – Presale Nears $2M Over 159% Staking Rewards & Futures Trading Plans Maxi Doge ($MAXI) is a new top dog on the block(chain). Inspired by $DOGE and $SHIB, it’s also a Shiba Inu-themed coin, yet sets itself apart by packing some serious muscle. Doing so underscores its focus on extreme leverage trading and market strength. Since going live on July 29, 2025, $MAXI has nearly raised $2M on presale. Right now, it’s fetching attention by offering utility through staking. You can lock up your tokens via smart contracts to earn daily rewards, with a current 159% APY up for taking. Its roadmap is also likely winning over investors. In the future, the project strives to offer gamified training with ROI-based contests. It also eyes futures trading partnerships that’ll open you up for even greater gains within the ecosystem. When also considering that 40% of $MAXI’s total token supply is set aside for marketing, with an additional 15% earmarked for development, this project shows no signs of slowing down. You can join the action by purchasing $MAXI on presale for just $0.0002565. And there’s no better time to do precisely that; its price will automatically increase tomorrow and thereafter. 2. Aethir ($ATH) – Decentralized GPU Cloud Token Spikes 50% After AI & Web3 Expansions $ATH is the native token that powers Aethir, a decentralized Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)-as-a-service cloud platform. It underpins the ecosystem through several core functions, including: Payments for GPU resources; Rewards for node operators for compute power; Developer incentives, such as grants, credits, and partner discounts; Ecosystem governance to help shape the platform’s future; Token-based rewards for partnerships and community members. Beyond its token utility, Aethir is on a mission to build one of the largest decentralized GPU networks worldwide. In fact, it already has a strong foothold within the sector. With over 435K GPU containers deployed across 90+ countries, the platform delivers low-latency compute for AI training, Web3 gaming, real-time rendering, and enterprise workloads. It differentiates itself from centralized providers like AWS and Google Cloud by eliminating hidden fees and regional bottlenecks through the distribution of GPU power worldwide. In turn, it can provide affordable, scalable, and accessible infrastructure for next-gen applications. August was a big month for Aethir. It expanded support for AI and Web3 developers, entered the education sector with Arizona State University, and fine-tuned its Cloud Host rewards. Following this news breaking out, $ATH has spiked by nearly 50% this past week. As Aethir’s developments continue to perk up the entire ecosystem, $ATH’s price trajectory shows no signs of slowing down as a consequence. Now signals an opportune time to purchase the token before it possibly continues to rise. It’s available for roughly $0.04 on some of the best crypto exchanges (Bybit‘s our top pick). 3. Best Wallet Token ($BEST) – Raises $15.6M Over Granting Low Gas Fees & Governance in Novel Crypto Wallet The $BEST presale has already accumulated a whopping $15.6M, and it’s all thanks to being the backbone of Best Wallet – a mobile-first, highly user-friendly non-custodial crypto wallet. Holding $BEST unlocks major perks in the Best Wallet ecosystem: lower gas fees, governance rights, staking rewards (currently at an 85% APY), and exclusive access to top presales. Considering that PredictIt could propel early-stage projects to new heights, such a perk becomes all the more attractive. The wallet itself is built for flexibility and security. It enables you to buy, sell, swap, and stake over 1K tokens across major chains like Ethereum, Polygon, and BNB Chain. Plus, it’s getting set to support 60+ networks in the near future. As a non-custodial wallet, you can rest easy knowing that only you have control over your private keys. It also prevents unauthorized access through extra layers of protection like 2FA, biometrics, and local encryption. They also help to ensure that your funds stay out of fraudsters’ reach. Yet there’s more to the wallet than token perks and safe storage. It integrates powerful tools to help you maximize gains. This includes a swap feature that lets you secure the best rates across 330+ DEXs and 30 bridges, as well as a token launchpad for easily discovering hot investment opportunities. With a crypto debit card (Best Card), NFT gallery, and intel market analytics also in the pipeline, Best Wallet positions itself as a sustainable one-stop hub for all things crypto. For the ecosystem’s full plethora of benefits, buy $BEST on presale for just $0.025615. Don’t wait around, though. The app’s upcoming developments are anticipated to propel the coin to $0.05106175 in 2026. So, joining now might generate a ROI of ~100%. Verdict – Best Presales to Buy Might Rocket Alongside PredictIt’s Growth With PredictIt going live in October under full CFTC approval, US traders will soon have a fresh, regulated gateway to speculate on real-world events for gains. If the platform follows in the heels of platforms like Polymarket and expands into crypto, it could send capital and attention toward promising early-stage projects. Presales like $MAXI, $ATH, and $BEST stand to benefit as they each have tangible utility that could capture trader interest. If market attention acts in their favor, they might even be the next 1000x crypto. As usual, before making any investment, always do your due diligence and don’t spend more than you’d be sad to lose.

Bitcoin is once again at a decisive moment after several days of tight consolidation around the $110K level. Bulls are making an effort to defend this critical support, while also eyeing the $113K resistance as the next key barrier. A breakout above it could provide the momentum needed for BTC to retest higher supply zones and reignite bullish sentiment. However, the market remains fragile, with volatility and fear weighing heavily on investor confidence. Top analyst Axel Adler provided important context from the derivatives market. According to Adler, the Bitcoin Futures Pressure Score currently stands at 18%, which is considered low to moderate and closer to the neutral zone. This suggests that there is no overwhelming short pressure from leverage at this time. In practical terms, futures traders are not aggressively building short positions, nor are they significantly adding to long exposure. This balance reflects a cautious market environment where participants are waiting for a catalyst to determine direction. Until then, Bitcoin’s battle between $110K support and $113K resistance will remain the focal point, setting the stage for the next major move in either direction. Bitcoin Futures In Neutral Mode According to Adler, the current state of the futures market paints a picture of caution rather than conviction. With the Pressure Score at 18%, the indicator suggests a neutral environment where traders are neither aggressively building long positions nor stacking shorts. Adler explains that this lack of strong directional signals reflects an indecisive market, where participants are waiting for external catalysts before committing capital. The Pressure Score becomes particularly important in identifying potential downside risks. Adler notes that when the metric rises toward the 30–40% range, it indicates that shorts are being built up at an accelerated pace. In such cases, open interest increases faster than usual, creating conditions that often lead to sudden price dumps. For now, Bitcoin is not in that danger zone, but the market remains highly sensitive to shifts in sentiment. What adds to the current uncertainty is the weakening US labor market, which has fueled speculation about the Federal Reserve’s next policy moves. Any surprise in economic data or Fed guidance could easily tip the balance, triggering volatility across crypto markets. As investors digest these signals, Bitcoin is expected to trade with increased choppiness in the coming days, with bulls and bears closely monitoring the $110K–$113K range as the decisive battleground. Technical Insights: Trading Between Key Levels Bitcoin is currently trading around $112,196, showing a modest recovery after testing lows near $110,000. The chart highlights a consolidation phase, with BTC holding above the 100-day simple moving average (SMA) at $112,102, while the 50-day SMA sits higher at $114,650, acting as immediate resistance. A decisive close above this level could open the path for Bitcoin to retest $116,000 and potentially challenge the major resistance at $123,217, marked by the summer peak. On the downside, the 200-day SMA at $101,980 provides a strong layer of support. As long as BTC remains above this level, the broader bullish structure remains intact despite recent volatility. However, repeated failures to break above the 50-day SMA may invite further consolidation, with risks of a retest of the $108,000–$110,000 zone if selling pressure re-emerges. Bulls need to reclaim $114,650 to shift momentum toward the $120K region, while bears aim to defend resistance and push the price lower. The coming days are likely to determine whether Bitcoin resumes its broader uptrend or extends its correction. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView

ECB likely on hold; markets fully priced for no move.Headline inflation path could edge up; expectations ticked to 2.5%.Activity improving (PMI > 50); base case remains status quo at a 2% deposit rate.Baseline for Thursday: hold The European Central Bank will likely keep interest rates unchanged this Thursday and leave them at their current levels. The setup is favorable: inflation now appears closer to the 2% target than the ECB’s earlier assumptions suggested, and growth prospects are gradually improving. In such conditions, policymakers can feel comfortable with the deposit rate at 2%. Market pricing and messaging Markets do not expect a cut on Thursday. In a Bloomberg survey, all economists anticipate no change in policy settings, and Overnight Index Swaps likewise price in no move. Talk of further reductions later in the year is kept alive by a few more “dovish” voices on the Governing Council, and Reuters has reported that some internal discussions leave room to revisit cuts. In my view, however, the ECB will concentrate on stabilizing monetary conditions this year and will not make any major changes to policy parameters. OIS-implied market pricing of the future path of ECB interest rates. Source: Bloomberg. Inflation path and expectations It’s not out of the question that the ECB raises its inflation path. The current projection envisages a further slowdown in price dynamics, with a temporary trough at 1.4% in Q1 2026 and a return to 2% in early 2027. An upward revision could stem from forecasts of higher crude oil prices and a higher path for energy costs, which would feed directly into inflation. Household inflation expectations have also ticked up: the median rose to 2.5% (from 2.4% previously). At first glance that’s a small move, but economically it can matter. Remember that household expectations are a key transmission channel over the longer horizon, shaping wage, pricing, and consumption decisions even before actual inflation moves. That’s why central banks work hard to keep 3–5-year expectations firmly anchored near target. In this context, even a small shift in the median from 2.4% to 2.5% may be important—a directional signal that expectations are edging away from target, raising the risk of “de-anchoring.” Chart showing the ECB main refinancing rate, CPI inflation, and core CPI inflation (year over year). Source: Bloomberg. Activity is improving: PMI and trade backdrop Euro-area activity is picking up. The composite PMI has risen for three consecutive months, reaching 51.0—typically a sign of modest recovery over a 3–6-month horizon. The rebound is especially visible in manufacturing, where the subindex recently moved above 50 for the first time in three years. Cautious optimism may reflect better financing conditions, which at least partly offset U.S. trade barriers. The tariff agreement—while implying higher duties than before—reduces trade-policy uncertainty. President Christine Lagarde has emphasized that the tariff level is “close to the June assumptions.” PMI indicators for the euro-area economy. Source: Bloomberg. What to expect on Thursday We may see a slight upward revision to the GDP growth projection for Q3 and, by extension, for the full year, alongside a modest lift in the headline inflation path toward target. The core inflation projection will likely stay broadly unchanged and continue converging to 2%. This picture offers no compelling case for rapid easing or renewed tightening. The most coherent strategy is to maintain the status quo—watch the data—and run policy at a level the ECB is comfortable with, i.e., a 2% deposit rate.

Rio Tinto (ASX, LON: RIO) and its partners in Guinea’s Simandou iron ore project have reportedly secured corporate tax concessions worth more than half off the standard rate for key parts of their $23.5 -billion development, regulatory filings show. Guinea’s ruling junta has approved a 15% corporate tax rate for the first 17 years of operations at the railway and port that will transport Simandou ore to global markets, the Australian Financial Review reports. That is well below Guinea’s usual 35% rate and less than half the 30% paid by major firms in Australia. News of the deal come just days after the government signalled Rio Tinto may be required to build a local refinery for the mine, which is designed to produce 120 million tonnes of iron ore annually and ship its first cargo in November. Rio disclosed its earlier tax agreements with Guinea’s former government in 2014, which included an eight-year tax holiday followed by a 30% rate. The company has not published the revised terms negotiated with the current junta. Rival partners Winning and Baowu, which control blocks 1 and 2 of Simandou, filed documents in Singapore outlining the incentives for infrastructure they co-own with Rio Tinto, first offered to them in August 2023. The filings indicate the Rio-led consortium will still pay some tax during the first eight years of mining, though the structure remains unclear. Rio has declined to comment. TransGuinean company The documents submitted by Winning and Baowu suggest the tax rate for the railway and port companies will remain at 15% for 17 years, then rise to 25%, still below Guinea’s statutory 35%. Rio’s consortium, which includes four Chinese partners, holds a 42.5% stake in La Compagnie du TransGuinéen (CTG), the entity managing the 600-kilometre railway and deep-water port on Guinea’s Atlantic coast. CTG was incorporated in March 2022. Simandou locomotive. (Image courtesy of Government of Guinea.) Rio Tinto first secured an exploration license for Simandou in 1997. Since then, the project has weathered two coups, four heads of state, and three presidential elections. Development is now advancing, with Rio set to operate one of the project’s two mines.

Stablecoin issuance is a lucrative business, and in 2025, Hyperliquid, a leading decentralized derivatives trading platform generating at least $400 billion in trading volume, is set to launch its platform-specific stablecoin. While Circle’s USDC holds a larger market share, powering popular trading pairs like HYPE USDC, Hyperliquid believes a native stablecoin could funnel profits to HYPE crypto holders. According to Coingecko, the total stablecoin market cap exceeds $290 billion. USDT leads, commanding nearly 50% of the market with over $169 billion in circulation, primarily on Tron and Ethereum. USDC, the second largest, has issued over $72 billion, with a major presence on Solana and Hyperliquid. (Source: Coingecko) Due to its ease of redemption back to USD, USDC is the go-to stablecoin, powering Hyperliquid’s community-driven liquidity provision, enabling the platform to process billions in monthly trading volume. Circle issues USDC in compliance with U.S. regulations, clarified further by the GENIUS Act, which outlines requirements for stablecoin issuers tracking the USD on major public chains. DISCOVER: 9+ Best High-Risk, High-Reward Crypto to Buy in 2025 Hyperliquid Wants Its Stablecoin, Circle Has Other Plans Since Circle, Tether, and other top stablecoin issuers generate billions in profits, and some of these tokens fuel the Hyperliquid ecosystem, the perpetual exchange aims to redirect profits to HYPE holders. To achieve this, Hyperliquid plans to have a third-party issue for USDH. As of September 10, several bidders are competing, with Hyperliquid validators set to choose the winner by September 14. Interested parties include Paxos, the team behind BUSD; Ethena, which recently partnered with Binance for its USDe stablecoin; Sky, a major player in decentralized money markets; Agora; Native Markets; and others. On Polymarket, punters think Native Markets will issue USDH. (Source: Polymarket) Circle, which dominates USDC trading on Hyperliquid, is not interested in issuing USDH but instead plans to continue with USDC. USDC powers 95% of Hyperliquid’s trading pairs, enabling smooth trading of assets like PUMP and HYPE. In a post on X, Circle’s CEO, Jeremy Allaire, stated they will engage the “HYPE ecosystem in a big way” and “intend to be a major player and contributor to the ecosystem.” Agora, Paxos, Ethena, Sky, and Frax are all vying to issue USDH, offering to share reserve yields with the community to accelerate HYPE buybacks or fund community development. Circle, however, aims to integrate USDC natively into Hyperliquid’s layer-1, eliminating bridging costs from Arbitrum, while refusing to share profits. Any attempt to divert revenue to Hyperliquid will be consequential, directly harming CIRCL shareholders. DISCOVER: Next 1000X Crypto: 10+ Crypto Tokens That Can Hit 1000x in 2025 Will Circle Fall?

The Australian dollar continues to hover around the 0.66 level and close to three-week highs. In the European session, AUD/USD is trading at 0.6604, up 0.30% on the day. Inflation expectations expected to remain at 3.9% The Reserve Bank of Australia will be keeping a close eye on Thursday's consumer inflation expectations, which is expected to remain unchanged in September at 3.9%. Inflation expectations fell in August to 3.9% from 4.7%, the lowest level since March. With inflation largely under control, the Reserve Bank has continued its easing cycle, lowering rates in August to 3.6%, the lowest level since April 2023. At the meeting, the RBA signaled that it would continue to cut rates as the inflation was easing and the labor market had cooled. China's inflation points lower China continues to grapple with deflation. Consumer inflation in August declined 0.4% y/y, down from 0% in July and lower than the market estimate of -0.2%. Monthly, CPI was flat, down from 0.4% in July and below the market estimate of 0.1%. The Producer Price Index fell 2.9% y/y, following a 3.6% decline and in line with the market estimate. Deflation in China reflects decreased demand, which could spell trouble for Australia, as China is its largest trading partner. The Federal Reserve is widely expected to lower rates at next week's meeting, even though inflation is around 3%, above the Fed's target of 2%. The US releases August consumer inflation on Thursday, with headline CPI expected to rise to 2.9% from 2.7% and the core rate projected to remain unchanged at 3.1%. The inflation report is unlikely to change any minds at the Fed about a September cut, but could change market expectations about one further rate cut before the end of the year.

GameStop is making big moves. The video game retailer reported a narrower loss for Q2, and it’s all thanks to a bold new Bitcoin strategy. While revenue still dipped a bit, the company’s holdings of 4710 $BTC gave its balance sheet a massive boost with a valuation of over half a billion dollars. This is a shift in how GameStop operates. Under Chairman Ryan Cohen, the company is reshaping its entire financial playbook. They’ve sold off international units and raised cash through a big bond sale. Now they’re joining a small yet growing club of publicly traded companies that have diversified into digital assets. GameStop announced a unique dividend in the form of warrants to reward investors and strengthen its position. For every 10 shares of GME stock, an investor will receive one warrant. Each warrant allows the holder to purchase one share of common stock for $32 at any time until the warrants expire on October 30, 2026. With the current price being around $23.59, the dividend is a discount coupon for long-term investors, offering a big incentive if the stock price rises to above $32. It’s a clever strategy to incentivize long-term holding. The market loves it too, as GameStop shares saw a nice little bump after the news broke. The strategy change is just the injection to bring GameStop into the modern world, just like Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) plans to do for $BTC by addressing its long-standing flaws. The Wild West of Crypto Stock The impact of corporate crypto holdings extends beyond established companies like GameStop. The market saw a dramatic example with QMMM Holdings, a Hong Kong-based media company. They announced a pivot to blockchain and AI, revealing a plan to build a $100M crypto treasury, and its stock went wild. Shares surged an unbelievable 2300% in one day. But as quickly as it rose, it came crashing back down, dropping nearly 50% in after-hours trading. This shows the high-risk, high-reward nature of these investments. While QMMM’s stock eventually settled, its volatility shows that a crypto announcement is less about a steady strategy and more about a speculative gamble for some companies. And if you like something that’s a bit more steadfast, you should check out Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), which is aiming to revolutionize $BTC. The Missing Link: Bitcoin’s Hyperdrive It’s safe to say the corporate world has finally woken up to $BTC, but if we’re being real, Bitcoin isn’t really built for speed. That’s where Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) comes in. It’s a revolutionary Layer-2 solution designed by developers to address $BTC’s biggest challenges: speed and a lack of smart contract functionality. Bitcoin is the main power grid, secure and reliable, but developers didn’t design it to power every appliance in the house. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is the smart power strip that plugs into the grid but allows you to run everything without overloading the main circuit. By leveraging the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), $HYPER promises to bring blazing-fast transactions and dirt-cheap fees to the Bitcoin ecosystem. It’s unlocking new potential, enabling $BTC to be used for DeFi, NFTs, and dApps without the frustrating delays and high costs. $HYPER’s taking Bitcoin from a static store to a dynamic usable asset. Grab your $HYPER now for $0.012885. Not sure of the steps? We’ve got you covered with our ‘How to Buy Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER)’ guide. Grab Your Ticket to the Future Beyond the core tech, holding the $HYPER token offers tangible benefits. The Layer-2 network will use it as the native currency for gas fees, giving it essential utility from day one. Also, if you’re an early supporter, you can take advantage of a dynamic staking program, earning impressive rewards (currently 75%) just by locking up your tokens. We see the potential in the project, and in our ‘Bitcoin Hyper Price Prediction’, we think it could reach $0.02595 by the end of 2025, which is a 101% ROI. Bitcoin Hyper has already raised over $14.8M in its presale, clearly showing investors see its potential. $HYPER has a buzzing community on X and Telegram with over 19K combined followers/subscribers. This will help maintain the hype, promote the positive, and see the project succeed. Beyond the Bitcoin Bet GameStop’s move is proof that things are changing and that companies see the value in digital money. From GameStop’s long-term play to the crazy ride for QMMM, it’s a world where a crypto announcement can send a stock to the moon. The new reality is a gold rush but also a minefield. The market is running on vibes and speculation, not just the usual financial numbers. This is where cool projects like Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) will stand out from the noise. But before you throw your money into an investment, don’t let the buzz blind you. Do your own research, and remember we don’t intend this as financial advice.

The crypto market is flashing green today, and Solana crypto is front and center. With Bitcoin hovering around $112K and Ethereum getting steady above $4,300, Solana has reclaimed a massive $120 billion crypto market cap after a 20% jump in a month. Solana current rally is depegging from majors altcoins like ETH and is showing strong momentum, catapulting it 10% above $200, putting it just 20% below ATH. (source – SOL/USD, TradingView) People are now bullish on Solana likely due to its impressive revenue generation, which saw it generates $1.25 billion so far this 2025. This growth has solidified its standing as one of the top crypto performers no doubt. (source – SOL Revenue, Defillama) On the other hand, Neiro is also running on a recovery path, trading at $0.00036 today, 11% jump in the last 30 days. Other big atls like PUMP and Mantle are not far behind as charts showing reversals.

On the other hand, PUMP has captured trader interest after cutting supply by over 5% and launching Project Ascend to improve revenue sharing. Recent exchange listings and X chatter point to a 65% price gain and continued upside potential. (source – NEIRO/USD, Coinglass) Mantle saw an 11.7% crypto jump driven by new integrations, while Solana broke above $200 last month. Thanks to lightning-fast transactions (65,000 TPS) and minimal fees, Solana crypto is attracting creators and developers alike. DeFi activity is 100% surging, as shown by Solana’s TVL reaching an all-time high of $12.2 billion, leaving even the DeFi king, Ethereum, behind. (source – MNT, CoinGecko) With $4.5 billion token to be unlocked this month and CPI data coming, the market will likely swing sharply. Now, attention is flowing toward Ethereum and Solana as key crypto players in this bull cycle.

CELO Ice Cream Hardfork Explained By Akiyama Felix It has been a tough 2025 for CELO crypto. In June 2025, CELO USD fell to an all-time low, sinking below $0.25 as sellers pressed on. The good news is that the CEO price has been steadily printing refreshing higher highs, a reason why CELO is the best new crypto to consider. Since the CELO/USDT plunge, the CELO price has gained nearly 30%. Celo traders expect even more price gains now that there are hints of strength from the daily chart. According to Coingecko, CELO crypto is down 30% year-to-date, and remains in the red in the last month of trading, shedding nearly 15%. However, in the past week of trading, CELO USD has been strengthening, rising nearly 4%. Still, it is a long way for CELO holders because the CELO price is down 97% from all-time highs last printed in August 2021. (Source: Coingecko) As CELO/USDT prints higher highs, reversing losses, momentum is building up. On Coinglass, traders appear to be positioning themselves for more gains. CELO futures flows are up by over $51,000 in the last eight hours, with steady net inflow in the last few hours of trading. As capital flows to the CELO futures market, speculators could drive the CELO price above key resistance levels, possibly triggering FOMO.

Canada’s newest altcoin exchange-traded funds have raced to category leadership, with the Solana-focused SOLQ crossing C$300 million in assets under management (AUM) and the XRP-focused XRPQ topping C$150 million, according to a Tuesday announcement. The issuer said both funds now hold the largest AUM in their respective categories among Canadian peers, underscoring a sharp acceleration in institutional and retail demand for regulated exposure to Solana and XRP. Investor Demand Surges For 3iQ’s SOL And XRP ETFs SOLQ, a Toronto Stock Exchange–listed Solana staking ETF that debuted in April, benefited from marquee early allocations. The firm disclosed a lead investment from SkyBridge Capital and additional commitments from ARK Invest, which bought SOLQ through its ARKW and ARKF ETFs—moves it touted as the first US-listed ETFs to gain exposure to Solana and its staking rewards via a Canadian vehicle. Management fees on SOLQ remain waived until April 2026, the issuer added. XRPQ launched in June and, with a 0% management fee for its first six months, has quickly scaled to more than C$150 million AUM; the Toronto Stock Exchange’s new-issuer log shows the product coming to market on June 18, 2025. The issuer said Ripple participated as an early investor. “The momentum behind SOLQ and XRPQ demonstrates that Canadian investors and global leaders in the digital asset space are embracing secure, transparent, and regulated access to digital assets,” said Pascal St-Jean, the issuer’s president and CEO. “As the market leaders, these ETFs exemplify [our] commitment to meeting investor demand while setting a benchmark for innovation in the global market.” The rise of these funds comes amid a broader wave of Canadian altcoin ETF launches this year. Multiple issuers have introduced spot Solana products—some with staking features and introductory fee waivers—while the domestic XRP lineup has also expanded, creating a competitive field against which SOLQ and XRPQ now claim the AUM crown. Institutional signaling has been a secondary driver. ARK’s purchase framed SOLQ as a vehicle for capturing both SOL price performance and on-chain staking economics in a regulated wrapper. “Solana represents a high-performance blockchain infrastructure with significant potential for decentralized applications and finance,” ARK’s Cathie Wood said when confirming the investment earlier this year. Contextually, Canada remains a first mover on listed crypto exposures beyond bitcoin and ether. In the United States, investors only recently gained a Solana ETF with staking economics via the REX-Osprey SSK product, while several US spot XRP ETF filings await regulatory decisions later in 2025—developments that help explain the cross-border interest in Canadian listings in the interim. A SSK-style Dogecoin ETF by REX-Osprey is set to launch this Thursday. At press time, XRP traded at $2.955.

Overview: The US dollar is trading quietly today, ahead of the August PPI, though with a weaker bias against most of the G10 currencies. The yen and Canadian dollar are the laggards. Two news developments are among the talking points. First, a federal judge temporarily blocked President Trump's attempt to remove Federal Reserve Governor Cook. Barring a new ruling, she will vote at next week's FOMC meeting. Most likely, so will Miran, as he will likely be confirmed shortly. The Fed funds futures are discounting about a 1-in-8 chance of a 50 bp cut. It was around a 1-in-12 chance after the employment data before the weekend. Second, tensions are elevated after Poland shot down Russian drones that had entered its air space. Poland's stocks, bonds, and zloty have been sold in response. All of the central European currencies are weaker, as are most emerging market currencies. News that the US is encouraging Europe to levy 100% tariffs on India and China, and if they do the US would match it, is seen as a feint. The impact seems marginal at best. Asia Pacific equities have rallied, including India and China and both currencies have also edged up against the dollar. Europe's Stoxx 600 is firmer for the third consecutive session. US index futures are also a little higher after the S&P 500 and Nasdaq set record highs yesterday. Benchmark 10-year yields are mostly little changed today, and the 10-year Treasury yield is practically flat, a little above 4.08%. Gold recovered from yesterday's pullback but is holding below the record high set then near $3674. October WTI is firm near $63, but within yesterday's range. USD: The Dollar Index was sold to six-week lows yesterday near 97.25. It held above the low from late July (~97.10). DXY recovered to around 97.80 yesterday. It edged up to nearly 97.95 today, but is closer to 97.75 now. A move above the pre-weekend high (~98.25) would be important from a technical perspective. Yesterday's sharp downward revision to US job growth in the year ending in March will allow the market's attention to turn toward US price pressures. Today, is August PPI and tomorrow CPI. July PPI rose 0.9% and is expected to rise another 0.3% at the headline and core levels today. Still, due to the base effect, the year-over-year headline rate is seen steady at 3.3% and the core can slip to 3.5% from 3.7%. Tomorrow's headline CPI is expected to rise to 2.9% from 2.7%. If accurate, it would be the highest print since February. Also, below the surface, money market pressures are building. SOFRA is at its highest level since early July. Reverse repo usage is trending lower. Treasury auctions also drain reserves. September 15 is a corporate and personal tax date, which also drains liquidity. EURO: The euro reached $1.1780 yesterday, a new high since last July, in Asia Pacific turnover. The session low was recorded in North America after Europe closed near $1.1700. It slipped to a new low for the week today, slightly below $1.1685. It recovered in the European morning to almost $1.1720 where it looked to be stalling. With the upside momentum stalling, late longs may move to the sidelines. It approached support seen near $1.1675. A break of the pre-US jobs data low near $1.1650, where options for almost 825 mln euros expire today, would likely force out more longs. The ECB meets tomorrow and there is little chance of a change in policy. The staff will update its economic projections. French President Macron named the only person who has been a minister throughout his presidency, the current defense minister Lecornu. It is not yet clear if he will survive a vote of confidence. The French 10-year premium over Germany is a little wider. Remember Fitch is set to announce the results of its review of France's AA- credit rating that is on negative watch. CNY: China reported the August CPI fell back into deflationary levels (-0.4% year-over-year). It is the first negative print since May and the most since February's 0.7% decline. The main culprit seems to be food prices, which fell 4.3% year-over-year. Clothing prices rose 1.8%, and the prices of other goods and services jumped 8.6%, while transportation and communication prices fell 2.4%. Core prices, excluding food and energy rose by 0.8%, the most in 18 months. Deflation among producer prices diminished to -2.9% from -3.6%. It is the least factory-gate deflation since April. Some attribute the reduced deflation at the producer-level due to Beijing's campaign against over-investment (involution). Imagine if China were to reduce its investment as a percentage of GDP, the consumption component would rise. Through its lower dollar fix, the PBOC has encouraged the appreciation of the offshore yuan, which set a new high for the year yesterday (~CNH7.1135) before rebounding to almost CNH7.1250. It reached almost CNH7.1290 today where sellers emerged and set the dollar back to nearly CNH7.1135 before Europe entered the fray. It is consolidating mostly between CNH7.1170-CNH7.1200 in Europe. The dollar's reference rate was set at CNY7.1062 (CNY7.1008 yesterday). It is not clear what it means when Bloomberg's survey showed a range of estimates for the fix is well-off the market. Today's range of estimates was CNY7.1333-CNY7.1405. The fix has not been set in that range since August 20. JPY: Yesterday's the dollar spent little time above Monday's settlement (~JPY147.50) and was sold almost JPY146.30 in the European morning. The greenback recovered in North American almost back to session highs, above JPY147.40. It is trading in a narrow range around JPY147.25-JPY147.60 so far today. Speculation that the changes in the LDP, leading to a new Japanese prime minister, will not deter the BOJ from hiking rates should be kept in context. At the end of August, the swaps market had almost 17 bp of tightening discounted for the remainder of the year. The political machinations and uncertainty saw it fall to nearly 11 bp on Monday. It rebounded to 16 yesterday but is a little softer today. GBP: Sterling approached the $1.36-nemesis in Europe yesterday and spent the North American session trending lower toward $1.3520. Options for about GBP375 mln expired at $1.36 yesterday and another set for almost GBP610 mln expires there tomorrow. Separately, GBP390 mln options at $1.3475 expire today. The near-term path of least resistance seems lower. It eased to slightly below $1.3515 today but is chopping around $1.3520-45 in the European morning. There may be potential toward $1.3460-90. The data highlight of the week still lay ahead. On Friday, the UK reports July GDP and details. The median forecast is for unchanged after a 0.4% growth was seen in June. CAD: The greenback traded in a wide range last Friday after both the US and Canada reported disappointing August employment data. The US dollar has been confined to that range, roughly CAD1.3760 to CAD1.3855. Yesterday, it traded within Monday's range, which was about CAD1.3790-CAD1.3850. It briefly traded to almost CAD1.3865 today, its highest level since August 26. It is near the middle of today's narrow range (~CAD1.3840-65) in late European morning turnover. A firmer US dollar environment that we anticipate will not prevent the Canadian dollar from weakening further, but rather the Loonie tends to do better on the crosses when the greenback is bid. The market feels more comfortable with a Bank of Canada rate cut next week. Another cut is nearly fully discounted for Q1 26. The poor string of Canadian data has seen the swaps market adjust the terminal rate to near 2.25% from 2.50% previously. The overnight rate now is 2.75%. AUD: In price action vaguely reminiscent of the July 24, the Australian dollar pushed above $0.6600 yesterday and the momentum stalled and settled below $0.6590. On July 24, the intraday high of the year was recorded near $0.6625. Yesterday, perhaps with the help of option-related demand, the Aussie reached $0.6620 in Europe and fell to almost $0.6580 in North America. On July 24, it settled at $0.6590. The market has not given up on $0.6600. After retesting the $0.6580 area, it has recovered and is back above $0.6600 near midday in Europe. MXN: The US dollar approached last Friday's low yesterday, shortly before the North American session began. It reached about MXN18.5860 compared with the pre-weekend low closer to MXN18.5820. Apparently in response to the firmer than expected Mexican CPI, the dollar recovered to around MXN18.6550. It has been mostly confined to a MXN18.6075-MXN18.6520 range today. Both the headline and core CPI rose slightly more than the median forecast in Bloomberg's survey projected. It is important, though, to keep it in perspective. The headline pace increased from 3.51% to 3.57%. Core CPI was unchanged at 4.23%. It was the first increase in the headline rate since it peaked in May at 4.42%. This does not appear to stand in the way of a rate cut at Banxico’s meeting on September 25. Disclaimer

On Tuesday, the EUR/USD pair turned in favor of the U.S. dollar, falling short of the 1.1789 level by just 8 points. Subsequently, the pair declined to the 76.4% Fibonacci level – 1.1695. A rebound from this level would favor the euro and a resumption of growth toward the resistance zone of 1.1789–1.1802. A close below 1.1695 would favor the U.S. dollar and further decline toward the support zone of 1.1637–1.1645. The wave picture on the hourly chart remains simple and clear. The last completed upward wave broke the previous peak, while the last downward wave did not break the prior low. Thus, the trend is currently "bullish," though not very strong or confident. Recent labor market data and shifting Fed monetary policy prospects support only bullish traders. On Tuesday, there was little economic data globally. The annual Nonfarm Payrolls report failed to bring optimism to U.S. dollar buyers, but bears still managed to mount a mixed attack during the day. I do not consider the dollar's rise amid another weak U.S. labor report to be justified. However, the market may have its own view. Today, the U.S. Producer Price Index will be released, followed tomorrow by the Consumer Price Index. I cannot say that these two reports will determine the Fed's monetary policy decision next week, because they will not. For the Fed, the labor market, which has been weakening for four months, remains the top priority. Inflation temporarily takes a back seat. Still, it could worsen the dollar's position if the August PPI and CPI come in weaker than expected. Low inflation would suggest that Donald Trump and Scott Bessent's calls for Fed easing are justified. In my view, U.S. inflation will continue to rise, but now the pace matters. If inflation growth is weak or absent, the Fed will have more grounds for aggressive policy easing. On the 4-hour chart, the pair consolidated above the horizontal channel, allowing traders to expect further growth toward the 161.8% Fibonacci retracement level – 1.1854. No emerging divergences are observed on any indicator today. A rebound from 1.1854 would favor the U.S. dollar and a correction downward, while a close above 1.1854 would increase the chances of continued growth toward the next target at 1.2066. Commitments of Traders (COT) Report: Over the last reporting week, professional players closed 2,726 long positions and opened 751 short positions. The sentiment of the "Non-commercial" group remains "bullish" thanks to Donald Trump and is strengthening over time. The total number of long positions held by speculators now stands at 255,000, compared with 136,000 short positions. The gap is nearly twofold. Also note the large number of green cells in the table above, showing strong increases in euro positions. In most cases, interest in the euro continues to grow, while interest in the dollar declines. For 30 consecutive weeks, large traders have been reducing short positions and increasing longs. Donald Trump's policies remain the most significant factor for traders, as they can cause long-term, structural problems for the U.S. Despite the signing of several major trade agreements, some key economic indicators continue to decline. News calendar for the U.S. and EU: U.S. – Producer Price Index (12:30 UTC). On September 10, the economic calendar contains only one entry. The impact of the news background on market sentiment Wednesday may be limited. EUR/USD forecast and trading advice: Selling the pair may be considered today if the hourly close is below 1.1695, with a target at 1.1637–1.1645. Buying is possible on a rebound from 1.1695, with a target at 1.1789–1.1802. Fibonacci grids are built from 1.1789–1.1392 on the hourly chart and from 1.1214–1.0179 on the 4-hour chart.

On the hourly chart, the GBP/USD pair on Tuesday rebounded from the 100.0% Fibonacci retracement level – 1.3587, turned in favor of the U.S. currency, and began a decline toward the 76.4% Fibonacci level – 1.3482. Today, the pair is stuck between two important levels, so the formation of new signals will depend on which direction the price moves during the day. The wave situation continues shifting toward "bullish." The last completed downward wave broke through two previous lows, while the new upward wave broke through the last two peaks. Thus, it can currently be considered that a new "bullish" trend is starting after more than two months of bearish dominance. That dominance turned out to be very weak, since the news background in most cases did not support the bears. On Tuesday, traders could trade under the influence of only one event – the annual Nonfarm Payrolls report. Few market participants expected this report to show a positive result. The number of jobs was revised down by -911,000 for the past year. However, traders did not seem too upset. The previous value had also been revised down by -818,000, which is a fairly normal occurrence. Recall that the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics almost always adjusts monthly reports in the following month or even two months later. Thus, the decline in the actual number of jobs created surprised no one. However, the U.S. dollar still strengthened during the day for unclear reasons. I do not think its growth was tied to the inflation reports due today and tomorrow. Most likely, we saw a typical corrective pullback, as the price had been rising for four consecutive days before Tuesday. In this case, the upward move could resume later this week. On the 4-hour chart, the pair turned in favor of the pound and consolidated above the 1.3378–1.3435 zone. Thus, the upward process may continue toward the next 127.2% Fibonacci retracement level – 1.3795. The chart pattern is currently mixed, with traders moving the pair in both directions. At the moment, I would recommend paying closer attention to the hourly chart. No emerging divergences are visible on any indicator. Commitments of Traders (COT) Report: The sentiment of the "Non-commercial" category of traders in the latest reporting week became slightly more "bearish." The number of long positions held by speculators increased by 61, while the number of short positions rose by 1,848. The gap between long and short positions now stands at roughly 76,000 versus 109,000. But as we can see, the pound remains inclined to rise, and traders continue buying. In my view, the pound still has room to fall. The news background for the dollar was terrible in the first six months of the year but is slowly beginning to improve. Trade tensions are easing, key deals are being signed, and the U.S. economy in Q2 will recover thanks to tariffs and various investments in the country. At the same time, the Fed's easing prospects for the second half of the year are already creating strong pressure on the dollar, with the U.S. labor market weakening and unemployment rising. Therefore, I still see no basis for a "dollar trend." News calendar for the U.S. and UK: U.S. – Producer Price Index (12:30 UTC). On September 10, the economic calendar contains only one entry. The impact of the news background on market sentiment on Wednesday may be limited. GBP/USD forecast and trading advice: Selling the pair was possible yesterday after the rebound from 1.3587 on the hourly chart with a target at 1.3482. I am not sure the decline will continue, so it is best to move the Stop Loss to breakeven. Buying is possible today on a rebound from 1.3482 or on a close above the 1.3611–1.3620 zone. Fibonacci grids are built from 1.3586–1.3139 on the hourly chart and from 1.3431–1.2104 on the 4-hour chart. The material has been provided by InstaForex Company - www.instaforex.com

In Asia, headlines were dominated by the resignation of Japan's prime minister, in Latin America by the defeat of Argentine President Javier Milei's party in regional elections, and in Indonesia by the unexpected replacement of the finance minister. Argentine market under pressureAfter a sharp plunge of more than 13% on Monday, Argentina's Merval index extended losses with another 0.3% decline on Tuesday. Wall Street dynamicsUnitedHealth shares rose after the company said it expects a stable number of clients under leading Medicare programs. This increases the likelihood of higher government payments in favor of the insurer. JPMorgan Chase shares gained 1.7%.

Technology sector weakensApple slipped by 1.5% after unveiling new iPhone models that failed to impress investors. Broadcom shares fell by 2.6% after a five-day rally that had significantly boosted the market capitalization of the world's second-largest chipmaker.

Rival CoreWeave also benefited, with its shares climbing by 7%. Family reshuffle in the Murdoch empireFox Corp Class B shares fell by 6.7%, while News Corp dropped by 4.5%. The reason was a family agreement: Rupert Murdoch and his children agreed to hand control of the media empire to his eldest son, Lachlan.

Investors expect Chinese CATL to resume production at its lithium mine, easing concerns over supply disruptions and putting pressure on the US producer's stock.

Tech sector retreatsApple dropped 1.5 percent after unveiling its new iPhones, which failed to excite investors.

Inflation data takes center stageMarkets are bracing for a critical week of economic releases. Producer price inflation will be reported on Wednesday, followed by consumer price figures on Thursday. Together, these numbers will shed light on the impact of Donald Trump's tariff policies and the likelihood of a more aggressive path of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. Nebius surges on Microsoft dealShares of Nebius soared nearly 50 percent after the artificial intelligence infrastructure company announced a 17.4 billion dollar agreement with Microsoft. Rival CoreWeave also benefited, gaining 7 percent. Murdoch family reshapes media empireFox Corp Class B stock tumbled 6.7 percent, while News Corp slipped 4.5 percent.

Asian markets echo Wall Street gainsAsian equities climbed on Wednesday, taking their cue from Wall Street's rally.

Yesterday, reports emerged that a judge blocked President Donald Trump from removing Federal Reserve Chair Lisa Cook, allowing her to remain in office while she defends against the president's attempts to dismiss her over allegations of mortgage fraud. This court decision marked an important milestone in the fight to protect the Fed's independence and its ability to make decisions without political interference. Trump's attempts to oust Lisa Cook sparked serious concerns in financial circles and among economists, who warned of potential negative consequences for the U.S. economy. Removing the Fed Chair for political reasons could undermine confidence in the central bank and lead to instability in financial markets. The mortgage fraud allegations against Lisa Cook drew significant public attention and fueled political debate. However, after reviewing the evidence, the court concluded there were no sufficient grounds for her dismissal. The ruling prohibiting Cook's removal underscores the importance of upholding the rule of law and protecting officials from unfounded accusations. U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb in Washington granted Cook's request to continue in her role. This decision means that Cook will likely be able to take part in the much-anticipated Fed policy meeting on September 16–17 and cast her vote in favor of lowering interest rates. The judge found that the alleged mortgage misconduct was likely not grounds for dismissal under the Federal Reserve Act, and that the manner in which the president sought her removal likely violated her constitutional right to due process. "The best interpretation of the 'for cause' provision is that the grounds for removing a Board Governor are limited to issues relating to the governor's conduct in carrying out official duties and whether those duties are being performed faithfully and effectively," the judge wrote. Cook's lawyer, Abbe Lowell, said in a statement that Judge Cobb's decision recognizes and affirms the Fed's independence from political pressure. "If the president were allowed to unlawfully remove Governor Cook based on baseless and vague allegations, it would endanger the stability of our financial system and undermine the rule of law," Lowell said. A Fed spokesperson declined to comment. The institution did not take sides in the court proceedings and stated it would respect the court's decision. The Department of Justice said it does not comment on ongoing or future litigation, including matters that may involve investigations. The judge's ruling had no noticeable impact on the currency market, though the stock market reacted positively, continuing its sharp rise toward new all-time highs. Technical outlook for EUR/USD: Buyers must focus on breaking through 1.1730. Only this would open the way to test 1.1760. From there, the pair could reach 1.1813, though doing so without support from large players will be challenging. The furthest target is the 1.1866 high. If the instrument falls, I expect serious buying interest only around 1.1690. If there are no buyers there, it would be preferable to wait for a retest of 1.1665 or consider long positions from 1.1630. Technical outlook for GBP/USD: Buyers of the pound need to break through the nearest resistance at 1.3550. Only this would allow the pair to target 1.3590, above which further progress will be difficult. The furthest target lies around 1.3615. In case of a decline, bears will attempt to seize control at 1.3485. If successful, a breakout of this range would deal a serious blow to bulls and push GBP/USD down to the 1.3450 low, with the prospect of extending toward 1.3415.

Yesterday, President Donald Trump told European officials that he was prepared to impose large-scale new tariffs on India and China to push President Vladimir Putin to the negotiating table with Ukraine—but only if EU countries did the same. According to media reports, Trump made this request when he invited senior U.S. and EU officials to a meeting in Washington. The U.S. is expected to introduce tariffs, but only on the condition that Europe imposes similar measures. This proposal posed a challenge, given that a number of countries, including Hungary, had previously blocked stricter EU sanctions targeting Russia's energy sector. Such measures would require the backing of all member states. Trump's proposal triggered a mixed reaction in European political circles. On the one hand, U.S. plans to impose tariffs added further pressure to Russia's energy sector. On the other, the strict condition of parallel EU action heightened internal divisions and cast doubt on the possibility of achieving consensus. The potential consequences of such tariffs could be significant. Russia's energy sector is a critical part of its economy, and reduced export revenues could negatively affect its financial stability. However, retaliatory measures by Russia against European countries could also inflict substantial damage on Europe's economy, particularly in the energy sphere. Thus, Trump's proposal created a complex political dilemma for the EU. European leaders had to weigh the economic and political interests of their countries and assess the possible consequences for relations with the U.S. and Russia. Other potential measures under discussion by U.S. and EU officials include further sanctions on Russia's shadow fleet of oil tankers, as well as restrictions on Russian banks, the financial sector, and major oil companies. Trump's proposal, first reported by the Financial Times, came after the deadline given to Putin to hold a bilateral meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expired, with no indication that the Russian leader—who met Trump in Alaska late last month—was genuinely interested in personal peace talks. Later on Tuesday, Trump posted on social media that the U.S. and India were continuing talks to remove trade barriers and expressed optimism about reaching a settlement. He also said he looked forward to speaking with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the coming weeks. This type of news did not have a significant impact on currency markets, as the expected measures remain under discussion. However, the intraday trend of strengthening of the U.S. dollar against risk assets, which formed yesterday, may continue today. As for the current technical picture of EUR/USD, buyers now need to break above 1.1730. Only this will allow for a test of 1.1760. From there, the pair could move up toward 1.1813, though achieving this without support from major players will be quite difficult. The farthest target stands at the 1.1866 high. If the instrument declines, I expect significant action from large buyers only around 1.1690. If none appear, it would be better to wait for a retest of the 1.1665 low or consider opening long positions from 1.1630. As for the current technical picture of GBP/USD, buyers need to break the nearest resistance at 1.3550. Only this will allow for a move toward 1.3590, above which a breakout will be difficult. The farthest target lies at the 1.3615 level. If the pair falls, the bears will attempt to regain control at 1.3485. If successful, breaking this range will deal a serious blow to bullish positions and push GBP/USD down to the 1.3450 low, with prospects of reaching 1.3415.

Recently, the price of gold has received substantial support based on two main factors. First, the anticipated reduction of interest rates by the Federal Reserve would weaken the US dollar. The second factor is the ongoing global tensions, which threaten to escalate into a major conflict. These factors could spark a renewed rise in the price of the "yellow" metal, pushing it first to the recent high of 3672.42, and then to a new all-time level at 3682.00. From a technical perspective, the pair is testing the resistance level at 3644.00; breaking above this level could provide grounds for further price growth. Technical picture and trading idea: The price is above the middle line of the Bollinger Bands, and above both the 5-period and 14-period SMA. The RSI is rising, having reversed from below the overbought zone. The Stochastic indicator is turning up above the oversold zone. Gold prices may rise to 3682.00 if the Fed decides to cut interest rates by 0.50%. The level of 3648.40 may serve as a buying entry point.

The Bitcoin bull cycles have always been similar in the fact that each one has always ended with the Bitcoin price multiples higher than the previous high. While the digital asset has hit new all-time highs this cycle, it is far from being multiples of the previous all-time high, and has yet to hit the 2x mark. However, with a lot of similarities popping up between this cycle and what was seen in 2017, there is still the possibility that the Bitcoin price will run higher from here. Bitcoin Price Mirroring 2021 Cycle Moves Crypto analyst Merlijn The Trader took to X (formerly Twitter) to share some similarities that they noticed between the current Bitcoin price trend and what was recorded back in 2017. Putting both charts side by side, the crypto analyst pointed out the ways in which the two cycles have performed similarly. One of the first things is how the bear market ended, which is highlighted by the red box in the shared charts. After some choppy movement, the bear market would come to an end with an initial breakout. This was followed by a short retracement, leading to the next step in the trend. The next box, the blue box, is the level of accumulation. This is where Bitcoin investors had loaded up their bags in anticipation of an upward move. Naturally, the accumulation lasted for a number of months before it was complete, and the breakout occurred. The third box is the green box, and the crypto analyst explains that this is the level that “launched portfolios.” Back in 2017, after the green box, the Bitcoin price rose rapidly and more than doubled by the time the rally was done, and with the current trend sitting in the green box, it carries some hefty bullish implications for the Bitcoin price. How High Can BTC Go From Here? Seeing how the Bitcoin price is mirroring the 2017 trend so far, it is likely to continue to play out in a similar way. From the green box, the price doubling like it did would mean that Bitcoin would end up crossing the $200,000 mark from here. The crypto analyst’s chart points toward the $220,000 mark, with some dips along the way that are expected to be eaten up quickly. The timeframe also seems similar, and if the trend holds, then this could play out in the next 3 months, leading into the year 2026.

BTC ▲0.49% kicked off the day trading just above $112,000, with ETH ▲0.73% crossing $4,300. In addition to price action, news on the SEC has triggered discussion on privacy and how it will affect crypto. A change in regulatory tone is taking shape, and markets are now paying attention. BitcoinPriceMarket CapBTC$2.24T24h7d30d1yAll time There has been news on chatter around the SEC lately, especially with signs that crypto regulators potentially can ease up on privacy-related issues, something many in the space have been hoping for. With altcoins like SOL ▲1.23% rallying, the optimism seems to be spreading for altcoins season. (source – SOL/USD TradingView) DISCOVER: Next 1000X Crypto: 10+ Crypto Tokens That Can Hit 1000x in 2025 What the News on SEC Really Means for Crypto The SEC recently announced a roundtable, set for October 17, to focus on privacy tools in the crypto space. Commissioner Hester Peirce is leading the discussion, which will cover things like financial surveillance and zero-knowledge proofs. This move signals a more open approach to crypto which is also big news for anyone watching SEC closely. (source – SEC) Some say this could clear the path for long-stalled ETF approvals. Even delays in cases like Bitwise’s Dogecoin fund are now seen as procedural rather than problematic. Others believe the policy shift could bring new capital into the DeFi space. Meanwhile, OpenAI’s chip development deal with Broadcom gave AI coins like Worldcoin a boost, which saw it jump WLD to more than 100%. But even with that tech buzz, it’s the regulatory updates that are doing most of the heavy lifting this week. (source – WLD, CoinGecko) All signs point to a market that’s gaining confidence. SEC crypto news may finally be creating the kind of clarity investors have waited years for. If that continues, don’t be surprised to see Bitcoin make a serious move toward $120,000.
