Crypto analyst Ash Crypto has revealed when the Bitcoin price is likely to reach $150,000, while Ethereum rallies to $8,000 and the altcoin season begins in full force. This comes as the crypto market looks to rebound, with BTC attempting a successful break above $112,000. On Bitcoin Price and Ethereum Rally And Altcoin Season Timeline In an X post, Ash Crypto declared that the Bitcoin price will rally to $150,000, Ethereum will rally to $8,000, and the altcoin season will happen in the fourth quarter of this year. During that period, he expects altcoins to pump between 10x and 50x. In line with this, he urged market participants to relax and be patient. In another X post, the analyst stated that the Bitcoin price will likely bottom this month. Ash Crypto remarked that he is expecting BTC to form a low between $94,000 and $100,000, making everyone believe that $124,000 was the top. When that happens, he predicts that the flagship crypto will then record a massive breakout in October and reach between $150,000 and $180,000 by December. Crypto analyst Stockmoney also indicated that market participants can expect significant moves from the Bitcoin price and Ethereum in Q4 of this year, while an altcoin season could be on the horizon. In an X post, the analyst stated that BTC is following the same pattern throughout the bull market. Based on this, he remarked that impulsive moves happen in the fourth quarter, and this is where most pumps historically occur. Stockmoney noted that these rallies are usually preceded by a longer consolidation period in the form of a falling wedge or bullish megaphone. His accompanying chart showed that the Bitcoin price could reach as high as $180,000 by year-end. Altcoin Season May Already Be Starting Market commentator Milk Road suggested that altcoin season may already be starting, even as the Bitcoin price and Ethereum find their footing. In an X post, Milk Road noted that ETH has outperformed BTC over the last two quarters. ETH is up around 110% in the second and third quarters, while BTC is up 34% during this period. This represents an over 300% return for Ethereum over the Bitcoin price. In line with this, Milk Road declared that historically, this kind of flipping often marks the start of altcoin season. Blockchain Center data shows that the market is currently closer to altcoin season than Bitcoin season. More altcoins have continued to outperform BTC over the last 90 days. However, 75% of the top 50 coins by market cap still need to outperform BTC for it to be considered officially altcoin season. At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $112,000, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Gold touched another record high on Tuesday as momentum continues to build for a US interest rate cut next week. Spot gold hit a new high of $3,673.49 per ounce, surpassing its previous record of $3,636.71 from just a day ago. By noon ET, it retreated to $3,646.64 an ounce, for an intraday gain of 0.3%. US gold futures followed a similar trajectory, rising to as high as $3,715.20 an ounce before pulling back to the $3,680 level. Click on chart for live prices. The move pushes gold’s year-to-date gains to nearly 40%. During 2025, the yellow metal set multiple records, driven by a soft dollar, strong central bank buying and heightened global uncertainty. Since the April high of $3,500, bullion has traded within a tight range, with investors monitoring the path of US monetary policy as the global tariffs unleashed by President Donald Trump begin to take effect. In recent weeks, gold began to surge again on expectations that the Federal Reserve will finally begin cutting interest rates after a slew of new US data hinted at an economic slowdown. A lower rate would benefit non-yielding assets such as bullion. “This rally is largely driven by expectations that the Federal Reserve will begin cutting rates, potentially as early as September,” said Bart Melek, head of commodity strategies at TD Securities. The upcoming US producer and consumer price data could offer further cues ahead of the FOMC meeting next week. Traders are currently widely pricing in a 25-basis-point rate cut, with some even betting on a larger 50-basis-point move. “If the US economy does a little weaker, that essentially means that we could see more flows into non-standard asset classes like gold to hedge against that potential decline,” Melek adds. John Ciampaglia, CEO of Sprott Asset Management, said: “We’re very bullish even at $3,600 – we think the markets will continue to rally because we don’t see a shift that’s going to happen with respect to tariff policy, trade relations (or) geopolitics.” (With files from Reuters)

Some contradicting headlines are influencing the US Dollar in a battle of wits right ahead of quintessential inflation data. Markets have been unable to provide a clear answer on how the upcoming FOMC (September 17th) and its rate cut expectations will affect the future outlook for the Dollar. The thesis had been that despite negative news (Jerome Powell's change in tone at Jackson Hole or the recent Non-Farm Payrolls), traders have failed to sell the US Dollar convincingly, with the DXY doomed in sideways action. The freshly released downward revisioned BLS report (bearish for the USD) and the rising tensions in the Middle East with Israel-Hamas war taking another turn (bullish for the USD) are once again prevented a clear path ahead for the Greenback. However, some interesting technical patterns might be getting into play as we approach the surely decisive pair of inflation reports in the US PPI (8:30 E.T. tomorrow) and Thursday's CPI report. Let's take a look at the Dollar Index. Read More:Interest Rate Cut Bets Intact After -911k Jobs Revision, WIll Recession Fears Grow?BLS revisions dampen a decent crypto altcoin session – SOL, XRP, DOGE and ADA analysisHow could the data influence the US Dollar? Potential reactions The upcoming PPI report should bring back memories of the previous humoungous beat in the past month (0.9% vs 0.2% exp) pushing inflation expectations higher for the consecutive University of Michigan surveys (the FED hates that). This comes as Participants started to be less and less cocnerned by tariffs and their impact. Despite hurting producers before consumers, fears are that Producer Prices increases will repercutate in upcoming CPI releases, highlighting Thursday's number even more. A relatively weak PPI could help to support current sentiment quite largely, indicating that the past month increase was just a one off – This should support a 50 bps cut further (Dollar down). However an upward beat should do just the reverse and add to the anxiety (Dollar up) CPI will really be in focus however as Participants look to see if the higher producing costs have started to bite in consumers pockets. Reactions should be similar to the PPI, but their extent could be much larger: A higher inflation for Consumers should prevent a 50 bps entirely, towards more gradual cut and spark stagflation fears. US Dollar could hence maintain its sideways movement. Dollar Index intraday outlookDollar Index 4H Chart US Dollar Index (DXY) 4H Chart, September 9, 2025 – Source: TradingView Last week's data has brought some renewed selling momentum as bears have managed to form a downward tight bear channel (bear candles overlapping each other). The weekly open hence formed a small gap to test the July support/pivot zone, and this morning of action actually saw a decent rebound, undoing some of the bear advantage. Arriving at a key technical standpoint, bears entering here could take the hand by rejecting the 97.60 to 97.80 range lows (break-retest style). Keep in mind that action will be swift tomorrow (expect spikes) and prices may just dawdle around until then.

Managing to hold the lows of the current support (97.40, immediate short-term support) would indicate balanced action, which would be more in the bulls favor after failing to hold lower. On the other hand, sellers appearing at the immediate short-term resistance (97.70) could trigger break-retest selling reactions. A breakout in any direction should see continuation. Safe Trades!

Agnico Eagle Mines (TSX: AEM; NYSE: AEM), Canada’s largest gold miner by output and market value, has sold its 11% stake in Orla Mining (TSX: OLA; NYSE: ORLA) for nearly C$561 million ($405 million). The major sold 38 million shares in the mid-tier gold producer at $14.75 each via the TSX, the companies said on Tuesday. The transaction puts an end to Agnico’s interest in Orla, which it had seeded in 2017. Orla – which has two producing assets, the Camino Rojo oxide mine in central Mexico and the Musselwhite mine in Ontario – forecast consolidated gold output this year to hit 265,000-285,000 ounces. National Bank of Canada said the sale adds to Agnico’s cash on hand, likely to hit $2.3 billion by year’s end, which with spiking gold prices allows the company to increase share buy-backs beyond a budgeted $100 million per quarter. “This incremental cash flow can be used to increase the pace of stock buyback and dividends in the coming quarters,” mining analyst Shane Nagle said in a note on Tuesday. “Our Outperform rating is based on Agnico Eagle’s low-risk operating jurisdictions combined with its continued strong/consistent operational performance and near-term production outlook.” ‘Right time’ “With Orla’s success in evolving into an established intermediate producer and in the context of the current gold market, we believe it is the right time to monetize our investment,” Agnico CEO Ammar Al-Joundi said in a release. “This demonstrates our commitment to disciplined capital allocation and allows us to redeploy capital to our strategic priorities.” The sale underscores Agnico Eagle’s focus on advancing its internal growth pipeline, including the Odyssey underground expansion at Canadian Malartic in Quebec, the Hope Bay project in Nunavut, and work at the Fosterville mine in Australia. Divesting the half-billion-dollar Orla stake allows the company to redeploy capital toward these priority assets while maintaining flexibility for other strategic opportunities. ‘Mutally beneficial’ Orla president and chief operating officer Jason Simpson described the exit as “mutually beneficial,” enabling broader investor access and greater liquidity for shareholders of the company. He gave “thanks in no small part, to Agnico Eagle’s technical expertise and financial backing.” Shares of Orla slid 5.1% to C$15.17 apiece in Toronto, cutting their gain since the start of the year to 78% and the company’s market capitalization to C$4.92 billion. Orla suffered a wall slide at Camino Rojo in July that knocked its total gold production forecast by 5% and its share price to less than C$13 for a time. Agnico Eagle slid 1.2% by mid-Tuesday in New York to $152.26 each. The company, like many gold producers, has gained more than 80% this year as bullion hits record prices. The spot gold price gained about $10 an oz. from a record on Monday to another all-time high around $3,674 per oz. before easing to near $3,646 an oz. by mid-Tuesday.

G Mining Ventures (TSX: GMIN) shares soared to an all-time high on Tuesday after the company discovered a new mineralization plunge at its main Oko West project in Guyana that returned results as high as 15 metres at 3.53 grams gold per tonne. That drill highlight, from 6 metres depth in hole OKWD25-533 of the AU_3 zone, was inside the new discovery that sits outside the known pit limits at the Block 1 target, G Mining reported Tuesday. Another highlight in the same drill hole, from the LDZ zone, cut 14 metres grading 4.38 grams gold from 102 metres depth. Oko West is located about 95 km southwest of the country’s capital, Georgetown. “Exploration at Oko West continues to expand our understanding of the deposit and reinforces the robust economics demonstrated in the feasibility study,” Julie-Anaïs Debreil, G Mining’s vice-president of geology and resources, said in a release. “High-grade intercepts confirm Oko West’s exceptional potential and support future mine life extensions.” The new discovery follows the company’s strong feasibility study from April that gave Oko West a net present value of $2.2 billion, a 58% rise over the preliminary economic assessment that G Mining released one year ago. Company shares gained 2% to C$23.47 apiece on Tuesday morning in Toronto, for a market capitalization of C$5.32 billion. The stock began trading on the TSXV in 2020 and on the TSX in 2024. Positive B1 results Another noteworthy result at B1 included hole OKWR25-1839 that cut 21 metres in the LDZ zone grading 3.8 grams gold from 37 metres depth. The B1 discoveries result from 9,968 metres of drilling since April that have focused on exploring mineralized extensions outside of the project’s reserve limits. Within the main mineralized zone at Oko West, G Mining has developed a splay model to better understand the complexity of the shear system and reserve pit, focusing on smaller structures that branch off the main shear. The splays carry mineral-rich fluids into the surrounding rock that can form very prospective zones for exploration, the company said. In line with that model, drilling returned 12 metres at 5.26 grams gold from 446.2 metres depth in hole OKWD25-545 of the AU_2FW zone and 14 metres at 1.1 grams gold from 110 metres depth in OKWD25-516 of the ODZ zone. Initial capital expenditures for the Oko West mine are estimated to be $972 million, according to the feasibility study. The project’s post-tax internal rate of return is 27%. G Mining forecasts that commissioning of the mine at Oko West could start in the fourth quarter of 2027. Total gold output is likely to be 4.3 million oz. over 12.3 years. Oko West’s open pit and underground probable reserves total 76.7 million tonnes grading 1.89 grams gold for 4.64 million ounces. Trenching in Brazil Meanwhile, at the company’s Gurupi project in northeast Brazil, recent trenching work at the Grodiocal target returned highlights including 9 metres grading 3.52 grams gold from 43 metres depth in hole GMAMT-25-008. Hole GMAMT-25-005 returned 7 metres at 0.97 gram gold from surface. Gurupi hosts 43.5 million indicated tonnes grading 1.31 grams gold for 1.83 million oz. contained metal, and 18.5 million inferred tonnes at 1.29 grams for 770,000 oz. within the Blanket, Contact and Chega Tudo deposits, according to a February resource update. G Mining has almost doubled its exploration budget this year to $6 million-$8 million to support 10,000 metres of drilling at Grodiocal.

Bitcoin is currently trading in a narrow range, caught between the $113K resistance and the $110K support level. Bulls are struggling to regain momentum after recent pullbacks, while mounting selling pressure continues to weigh on short-term sentiment. The tight consolidation reflects investor indecision, with both sides waiting for a decisive breakout that could shape the market’s next major move. Despite the near-term weakness, the long-term view remains more constructive. According to top analyst Darkfost, the 30-day average Coin Days Destroyed (CDD) remains elevated but has started to cool off. Notably, its value has already dropped by half from its previous peak, signaling a slowdown in old coin movements. This decline suggests that the heaviest phase of long-term holder distribution may be easing, providing the market with some breathing room. If this cooling trend continues, it could reinforce Bitcoin’s long-term bullish outlook, even as short-term volatility persists. The combination of resilient support levels and declining long-term holder selling pressure may set the stage for a stronger recovery once external catalysts, such as Federal Reserve policy shifts, provide clarity. Strong LTH Movement Meets Resilient Demand Darkfost shared that the market has just experienced the strongest movement of old Bitcoin (LTHs) in this cycle so far. Long-term holders, who typically keep their coins dormant for extended periods, have been moving significant amounts of BTC back into circulation. This is a noteworthy development because it represents the most intense wave of long-term holder activity since the current bull cycle began. What makes this event particularly striking is that despite the heavy selling pressure from these seasoned holders, Bitcoin’s price has only corrected between 10% and 13% from its recent highs. By historical standards, this is a relatively modest drawdown, suggesting that the market remains resilient. Darkfost points out that the Coin Days Destroyed (CDD) metric is crucial here. CDD tracks how long BTC has been held before being moved. When older coins are suddenly spent, it typically reflects distribution by experienced holders—often interpreted as profit-taking or a shift in positioning. A spike in CDD, therefore, signals significant selling pressure. However, the key takeaway is that demand has so far absorbed this spike remarkably well. Institutional inflows, treasury accumulation, and strong market liquidity appear to be offsetting the selling activity. While this doesn’t completely remove downside risk—especially if further long-term holders decide to exit—the market’s ability to withstand such a strong wave of distribution without a deeper crash is encouraging. The broader implication is that Bitcoin’s structure remains strong, even as it faces temporary challenges. If demand continues to hold firm, this phase of redistribution may ultimately serve as a healthy reset, setting the stage for the next leg higher. Still, investors should remain cautious: the market is not out of the woods just yet. Price Testing Support After Pullback Bitcoin is currently trading around $112,870, staging a modest recovery after a pullback from its all-time high near $124,500. The chart shows that BTC has been in a consolidation phase following months of strong gains, with price action now hovering above the 100-day moving average (green line) and testing the mid-term trend structure. The 50-day moving average (blue line) is slightly above the current price, acting as short-term resistance. A decisive break above this level could open the door for another attempt at the $120K–$123K zone, which remains the critical resistance for bulls to reclaim in order to re-enter price discovery. On the downside, support is forming around the $110K–$108K range, close to the rising 100-day moving average, which has held well during previous corrections. A breakdown below this level would risk a deeper retracement toward the 200-day moving average (red line) near $82K, though such a move would require strong selling pressure.

Meme coins rarely stay quiet for long, and the latest craze is happening around Little Pepe ($LILPEPE). The Little Pepe presale has already reached $25M, with over 98% of tokens sold and the price doubling from its initial level. That kind of momentum puts the project clearly on the radar of traders chasing the next 100x opportunity. Unlike many meme coins that rely solely on hype, Little Pepe incorporates utility into its design. The team has developed its own Layer 2 blockchain that offers near-instant transactions, no trading taxes, and security measures to prevent bots and rug pulls. With a CertiK audit and an ecosystem plan that features a meme launchpad named ‘Pepe’s Pump Pad,’ $LILPEPE aims to be more than just another frog with a funny name. The big question now: does this momentum signal the start of another Doge-like run to sit alongside the top meme coins? From Casino Bets to Layer 2 Tech The meme coin market often feels like a slot machine. You put in some $ETH or $SOL and hope for green candles, praying the devs don’t disappear. Most projects rely on hype and little more. Little Pepe is trying to change that playbook. Instead of using Ethereum or Solana and incurring high fees, $LILPEPE features its own Layer 2 blockchain. Transactions are nearly instantaneous, gas costs are minimal, and buyers aren’t surprised by hidden trading taxes. For anyone who’s experienced fees eating into their meme coin collection, that’s a welcome change. Security is another aspect. Little Pepe has bot protection and smart contracts designed to make rug pulls almost impossible, and it has already passed a CertiK audit. Because the chain is EVM-compatible, developers can port existing Ethereum dApps without starting from scratch. That lowers the barrier for building out the ecosystem—giving $LILPEPE a shot at being more than a one-season meme. Tokenomics Breakdown: 100B Supply, 26.5% Presale, and Staking Rewards Many meme coins have unclear token allocation, but Little Pepe’s structure is transparent. The total supply is limited to 100 billion $LILPEPE, with 26.5% allocated for the presale and 30% reserved for chain reserves to support the Layer 2. An additional 13.5% funds staking rewards, while liquidity, marketing, and centralized exchange reserves each receive 10%. That balance means early buyers aren’t left holding the entire bag. Once listings start, there’s potential for growth, and staking offers additional incentives for those wanting to lock tokens in instead of flipping them. Beyond token splits, the team is working to develop a meme ecosystem that has real potential. The main feature is Pepe’s Pump Pad, a launchpad for new meme coins created to make token creation safer and easier. If it succeeds, it could position $LILPEPE as a broader platform, not just a single token. The roadmap also aims for a $1B market cap and reaching the CMC top 100, which may sound ambitious, but aligns with the broader bull cycle’s interest in utility-backed meme projects. Presale Frenzy: $25M Raised, 98% of Tokens Already Gone The Little Pepe presale has crossed $25M, with more than 15.5B tokens sold – roughly 98.7% of the allocation. Early buyers purchased $LILPEPE at $0.0010, but the price has now doubled to $0.0021 as the sale progresses through its later stages. Each round sells out faster than the previous one, a typical sign of increasing FOMO. This level of momentum demonstrates how much attention $LILPEPE is gaining ahead of its exchange debut. The $777K Giveaway Fueling Community Buzz Adding to the hype, Little Pepe is hosting a $777K token giveaway. Ten winners will each receive $77K worth of $LILPEPE, a substantial prize pool compared to the small promotions most meme coins run. To qualify, buyers must invest at least $100 in the presale. Doing extra social media tasks earns more entries, making the contest both a community effort and a viral marketing campaign. For the team, it’s also a sign of confidence. Projects don’t give out three-quarters of a million dollars’ worth of tokens unless they believe they will be worth even more. Final Thoughts – Can $LILPEPE Be the Next 100x Meme Coin? Little Pepe ($LILPEPE) positions itself as more than just another meme coin. It combines Layer 2 speed, zero-tax trading, and meme culture into a package that has already raised $25M. Add anti-rug protections, a CertiK audit, and community buzz around the $777K giveaway, and it’s clear why discussions of it being the next crypto to explode with a possible 100x run are emerging. But meme coins remain speculative by nature. The volatility that made $DOGE and $SHIB famous also damaged many investors. This article is not financial advice. Always do your own research (DYOR): review tokenomics, roadmap milestones, and whitepapers before investing. Never put in more than you’re willing to lose.

Mining companies accounted for over half of the entries on this year’s TSX30 — an annual list of the 30 top-performing names on Canada’s largest stock exchange over a three-year period. The best performer in the mining industry was Vancouver-headquartered Lundin Gold (TSX: LUG), with a gain of 775%, good for second place behind supply chain solutions provider Celestica (TSX: CLS), which amassed a near 1,600% jump over the three years. The other mining companies and their respective rank and gains are as follows: Overall RankCompanySymbolGain (%)5Avino Silver & Gold MinesASM61010Almonty IndustriesAII42711New GoldNGD39412Kinross GoldK39413IAMGOLDIMG38514Torex GoldTXG34719Alamos GoldAGI31021Perpetua ResourcesPPTA29022Orla MiningOLA28923CamecoCCO27725China Gold International ResourcesCGG27426Dundee Precious MetalsDPM26427Eldorado GoldELD23828Galiano GoldGAU22629Skeena ResourcesSKE21930Taseko MinesTKO205 In total, the 2025 TSX30 list had 17 mining companies, compared with just six in the 2024 edition. The performances were also more significant, with market values rising by at least threefold. Gold dominates Nearly all of these mining companies (15) have businesses revolving around gold, coinciding with the precious metal’s rise over the past three years, during which prices have more than doubled from around $1,650 an ounce to over $3,600 currently. The only names with no ties to gold are Almonty and Cameco, whose businesses are centred around critical minerals tungsten and uranium, respectively. Notably, there was only one predominant copper miner — Taseko — while two prominent copper names (Filo and Teck) featured in last year’s list.

For GBP/USD, the wave structure continues to indicate the formation of a bullish impulse sequence. The wave picture is almost identical to EUR/USD, since the only real driver remains the dollar. Demand for the U.S. currency is declining across the market (in the medium term), so many instruments are showing nearly the same dynamics. At this point, wave 4 is presumably complete. If so, the instrument's rise will continue within impulse wave 5. Wave 4 could still take on a five-wave form, but this is not the most likely scenario. It should be remembered that much on the currency market now depends on Donald Trump's policies—not only trade-related ones. From time to time, positive news comes out of the U.S., but the market remains dominated by uncertainty, contradictory decisions and statements from Trump, and the White House's hostile and protectionist stance. Global tensions remain, and the U.S. economy continues to face difficulties. The GBP/USD pair showed no change on Tuesday, but at least one important event is still ahead before the end of the day. Today, I would focus entirely on two things: the wave structure and the annual Nonfarm Payrolls report. In my view, Nonfarm Payrolls are not just important (for obvious reasons) but the only meaningful event on Tuesday. Of course, revisions to this report are unlikely to be dramatic. If the actual number of jobs created over the past year turns out 20,000 fewer, few market participants will be overly concerned. However, the market does not appear to be considering an upward revision at all, which clearly reflects expectations for the U.S. economy. In other words, the market is still not inclined to buy the dollar, as no positive changes are expected. On the other hand, we have the wave structure. If one assumes it is incorrect on a global level, let us then consider the simplest wave forms. We have seen a standard three-wave a-b-c structure, which cannot be anything other than a correction. Consequently, a new impulse trend segment lies ahead. Within wave 2 of this segment, three waves are clearly visible, confirming the validity of the current marking—wave 2 also formed a classic correction. From this perspective, the Nonfarm Payrolls report may help the instrument continue building wave 3, which presumably belongs to the larger wave 5. If the report is not as weak as many expect, demand for the U.S. dollar may briefly rise, but I do not anticipate a break in the current wave structure. More than one favorable report would be needed for that. Also, it should be noted that the annual report cannot negate the last four monthly reports. Therefore, the market's negative sentiment regarding U.S. labor data will persist. General ConclusionsThe wave picture for GBP/USD remains unchanged. We are dealing with a bullish impulse segment of the trend. Under Donald Trump, markets may still face numerous shocks and reversals, which could significantly affect the wave picture, but for now, the working scenario remains intact. Targets for the bullish segment are now around 1.4017. At this stage, I assume the corrective wave 4 has been completed. Wave 2 within wave 5 may also be complete. Therefore, I still recommend buying with a target of 1.4017. Key principles of my analysis: Wave structures should be simple and clear. Complex structures are difficult to trade and often involve changes.If you are not confident about market conditions, it is better not to enter.Absolute certainty about direction does not and cannot exist.

The wave structure on the 4-hour chart for EUR/USD has remained unchanged for several months, which is encouraging. Even during the formation of corrective waves, the structure has maintained its integrity. This allows for accurate forecasts. It is worth noting that the wave structure does not always resemble the textbook pattern. Right now, however, it looks very clear. The bullish section of the trend is still developing, while the news background continues to support mostly not the dollar. The trade war initiated by Donald Trump continues. The confrontation with the Fed continues. Market "dovish" expectations are increasing. Trump's "One Big Law" will raise U.S. public debt by 3 trillion dollars, while the U.S. president regularly raises tariffs and introduces new ones. The market has given a poor assessment of Trump's first 6–7 months in office, even though GDP growth reached 3% in the second quarter. At this stage, it is possible to assume that wave 4 has been completed. If that is indeed the case, then the construction of impulse wave 5 has begun, with targets extending as far as the 1.25 level. Of course, the corrective structure of wave 4 could still evolve into a longer five-wave form, but I am working from the most likely scenario. On Tuesday, EUR/USD slipped by a couple of dozen basis points, but the annual Nonfarm Payrolls report has not yet been released. Therefore, I expect market activity to increase significantly later in the day. For now, however, there is virtually no news in the market. Last week was full of reports, while this one is relatively empty. Market participants have turned their attention to the political crisis in France, which could see the country's prime minister resign. But let's be honest—every year, in one EU country or another, a political crisis arises. Economically, this means very little. One prime minister leaves, another arrives. If parliament is dissolved, a new one will be elected. Personally, I see no real issue here. From my perspective, the Nonfarm Payrolls report is much more important. It could worsen the already fragile situation for the U.S. currency, which has been under heavy pressure throughout 2025. If today's payrolls report shows a contraction in actual job creation, it will not affect the Fed's decision next week. However, it will further dampen sentiment among dollar buyers. The dollar seems to be at a point where it has little room left to fall—but in my view, that is not the case. The market may have already priced in a September Fed rate cut, as that decision has been anticipated since the beginning of the year. However, it is unlikely that subsequent rounds of easing have been fully factored into prices. In any case, it is hard to imagine that demand for the U.S. dollar will not continue to decline while the FOMC actively pursues monetary easing. One way or another, we have a clear wave structure. If it begins to change, then alternative scenarios can be considered. General ConclusionsBased on my EUR/USD analysis, I conclude that the pair continues building a bullish section of the trend. The wave structure remains fully dependent on the news background related to Trump's decisions and U.S. foreign policy. Trend targets may extend as far as the 1.25 level. Therefore, I continue to consider purchases with targets around 1.1875, which corresponds to the 161.8% Fibonacci level, and higher. Key principles of my analysis: Wave structures should be simple and clear. Complex structures are difficult to trade and often lead to changes.If you are uncertain about market conditions, it is better not to enter.Absolute certainty about market direction does not exist. Always use Stop Loss orders.Wave analysis can be combined with other types of analysis and trading strategies.The material has been provided by InstaForex Company - www.instaforex.com

How can I pass gold to heirs without triggering major taxes? As the value of gold continues to rise, many individuals are considering how to pass their gold assets to heirs without incurring significant tax liabilities. Understanding the intricacies of estate and gift taxes is crucial for effective wealth transfer. This article explores proven strategies to minimize tax implications while helping ensure your heirs receive as much of the inheritance as possible. Understanding Estate and Gift Taxes Before delving into strategies for passing gold to heirs, it is essential to grasp the fundamentals of estate and gift taxes. These taxes can significantly impact the value transferred to your beneficiaries. What are Estate Taxes? Estate taxes are levied on the total value of an individual’s estate at the time of their death. In 2025, the federal estate tax exemption is set at $13.99 million per individual and $27.98 million for married couples. However, this exemption is scheduled to decrease to approximately $7 million per individual in 2026. What are Gift Taxes? Gift taxes apply to the transfer of assets during an individual’s lifetime. In 2025, individuals can gift up to $19,000 per recipient annually without incurring gift taxes. This annual exclusion allows for strategic gifting to reduce the taxable estate. Step-Up in Basis for Inherited Gold When heirs inherit physical gold, the cost basis generally “steps up” to its fair market value on the date of death. That means if heirs later sell the gold, capital gains are typically calculated only on appreciation after inheritance—often a major tax saver compared to lifetime gifts. Gifting vs. Inheriting: Which Is Better? Lifetime gifts reduce your estate but pass along your original (carryover) basis, which can increase capital gains for heirs. Allowing heirs to inherit often preserves the step-up in basis, while planning tools (below) can address estate-tax exposure. Strategies for Passing Gold to Heirs To effectively pass gold to heirs while minimizing tax implications, consider the following strategies: Pre-Strategy Checklist (Documentation Wins Audits) Maintain receipts, appraisals, and mint/serial details for coins or bars. Record storage location(s) and custody arrangements. Keep a dated inventory to substantiate value and basis. 1. Gifting Gold During Your Lifetime One of the most straightforward methods to transfer gold is through gifting. By utilizing the annual gift tax exclusion, you can transfer gold to your heirs without triggering gift taxes. Identify the amount of gold you wish to gift each year. Ensure that the total value of the gold gifted does not exceed the annual exclusion limit. Document the transfer to maintain clear records for tax purposes (Form 709 may be required if you exceed the annual exclusion). 2. Using Irrevocable Trusts (and Pairing with an ILIT) An irrevocable trust can remove assets (including gold) from your taxable estate when structured properly. Separately, an Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust (ILIT) can own a life insurance policy outside your estate to provide tax-free liquidity for heirs to cover estate costs and taxes—helping them keep the gold instead of selling it. Consult with a financial advisor and estate attorney to draft and fund the trust correctly. Retitle gold to the trust pursuant to counsel’s guidance. Name heirs as trust beneficiaries with clear distribution terms. 3. Utilizing Family Limited Partnerships (FLPs) Family Limited Partnerships can be an effective vehicle for transferring wealth, including gold. By leveraging valuation discounts for minority interests, you can transfer ownership of gold to heirs at a reduced tax cost. Establish a Family Limited Partnership with your heirs as partners. Transfer your gold assets into the partnership. Distribute partnership interests to your heirs over time. 4. Gold in Retirement Accounts (e.g., Gold IRAs) If gold is held in a retirement account, beneficiary designations generally bypass probate. Heirs typically owe ordinary income tax on distributions from inherited pre-tax accounts; timing rules depend on beneficiary type and plan rules. Keep designations current. 5. Charitable Gifting Techniques Advanced strategies like charitable remainder trusts or donating appreciated assets can reduce or offset taxes under the right conditions. Coordinate with advisors to evaluate suitability. State-Level Considerations In addition to federal taxes, it is crucial to consider state-level estate taxes. As of 2025, 12 states and the District of Columbia impose estate taxes, often with much lower exemption thresholds than the federal level. For example, Massachusetts has a $2 million estate tax exemption. Some states also impose an inheritance tax on the recipient. Understanding your state’s rules can help you devise a more effective plan. Consult with a tax professional to navigate these complexities. Proactive Estate Tax Planning Proactive planning is essential to minimize estate tax liabilities. Here are key steps to consider: Review your estate plan regularly to ensure it aligns with current tax laws. Consider making larger gifts before the exemption reduction in 2026. Engage with financial and legal advisors to explore all available options. Frequently Asked Questions Do heirs pay tax when they inherit gold? There is no federal inheritance tax; estate tax is assessed on the decedent’s estate. After inheritance, heirs typically realize capital gains only on appreciation after the date of death due to the step-up in basis. Is it better to gift gold now or let heirs inherit it? It depends on your estate size and goals. Gifting reduces your estate but passes along your original basis. Inheriting often yields a step-up in basis, lowering future capital gains for heirs. A blended approach may be optimal. How is gold valued for gifts or estates? Use fair market value on the relevant date (e.g., date of gift or date of death). For coins, bars, or numismatic items, consider a qualified appraisal plus spot-price references. Do I need to file anything when gifting gold? If gifts to any individual exceed the annual exclusion for the year, you generally file Form 709 to report the gift. This usually applies against your lifetime exemption rather than triggering immediate tax. What about gold inside IRAs? Beneficiaries of pre-tax accounts generally owe income tax on distributions. Rules (like 10-year payout) vary by beneficiary type and plan, so review with your advisor. Key Takeaways Know the differences between estate and gift taxes—plus how the step-up in basis can benefit heirs. Use the annual gift tax exclusion strategically, with documentation and inventory. Consider irrevocable trusts (and an ILIT for tax-efficient liquidity) or FLPs for structured transfers. Account for state estate and inheritance taxes, which can be more restrictive than federal rules. Plan early and review often with financial and legal professionals to minimize taxes and preserve wealth. By implementing these strategies, you can pass your gold assets to your heirs while minimizing tax implications. It is advisable to consult with financial and legal professionals to tailor a plan that best suits your unique circumstances.

Freeport-McMoRan (NYSE: FCX) shares sank Tuesday after the company suspended operations at its Grasberg Block Cave underground mine in Indonesia, where a surge of wet material blocked access routes and left seven workers trapped underground. The incident occurred late Monday evening in one of five production blocks within the mine, located in Central Papua. According to the company, the location of the workers is known, and they are believed to be safe. Crews are working to clear debris and secure safe evacuation routes, while support is being provided to the trapped workers. Shares of Freeport fell 5.81% Tuesday morning following the announcement, giving the miner a market capitalization of $63 billion. “All other personnel at the site are confirmed safe,” Freeport said in a statement. “Our team is working diligently to bring our team members to safety as quickly as possible,” Chairman Richard C. Adkerson and CEO Kathleen Quirk said in a statement. Freeport said no timeline has been provided for the evacuation of the workers or the resumption of production. The Grasberg operation is one of the world’s largest copper and gold mines, with annual output of about 1.7 billion pounds of copper and 1.4 million ounces of gold from three mines in the district. Freeport holds a 48.76% stake in the complex, while Indonesia’s state-owned mining company holds the majority interest. Indonesia’s mining minister, Bahlil Lahadalia, said on Tuesday that his team would visit the site to assess conditions and provide updates. The suspension initially pressured copper prices. The most-active COMEX futures contract was down 0.15% at $4.552 per lb ($10,014/t) on Tuesday morning. Click on chart for live updates Freeport Indonesia has previously forecast copper concentrate output of nearly 3 million metric tons in 2025. Any extended disruption at Grasberg could add supply-side uncertainty to already tight copper markets.

Even after Non-Farm Payrolls, cryptocurrencies and other assets are still in kind of a weird zone. Despite being the newest main asset class, digital assets does not avoid the pre-data undecisive trading phenomenon – Key Market participants will usually await for key data to move their pawns forward and generating volatility. This can be seen with whale volumes (big crypto traders, portfolios above 10,000 BTC) shutting down since July, with Retail traders coming in strong and taking their part of the cake which maintain prices at decent levels. Also, Cryptocurrencies and particularly altcoins enjoyed some decent flows today, but the mood got sapped by the freshly released downward revision of US Labor. Doge has made it to the top of the board for the second consecutive day, XRP is making a comeback around $3.00 and Solana just marked some new intermediate highs. The biggest volumes and moves may only really materialize after Thursday's CPI Report (8:30 ET), however we shall still have a look at a few altcoin charts with ADA, XRP, SOL and DOGE.

Perpetua Resources (TSX, NASDAQ: PPTA) says it received initial terms for a $2 billion US government loan that would almost completely fund restarting the fast-tracked Stibnite project in Idaho, which shut in the 1990s as the last domestic source of antimony used in weapons. The Export-Import Bank of the United States, which is conducting due diligence on Perpetua’s application, sent the company a preliminary project letter with its initial findings and a non-binding term sheet, according to a statement issued late Monday. Perpetua is continuing to work with the lender to advance the project through the next stages of the loan application process. If the due diligence is successful, the company expects to close the debt financing next year. Financing from Exim Bank would go a long way toward funding the $2.2 billion capex project, which may become the only mined source of antimony in the US and was one of several chosen for fast-tracking this year by the Trump administration. In June, Perpetua sold about $425 million worth of shares to a group of banks and investors – including a $100 million investment from Paulson & Co. – to help advance the project. “We are pleased to see the project letter update,” National Bank Financial mining analyst Rami Nizabi said Tuesday in a note. “It gives an indication to the market that the Exim loan diligence process is unfolding on schedule as previously guided by management.” Shares in Perpetua fell 6.7% to C$23.29 Tuesday morning in Toronto, giving the company a market value of about C$2.5 billion. The stock has ranged between C$11.12 and C$27.23 in the past year. Commercial production Boise, Idaho-based Perpetua wants Stibnite to supply all of the country’s demand for the mineral used in ammunitions, semi-conductors and other military applications, about 100 million lb. over its 15-year life. Full construction could begin as early as next year, with commercial production starting by 2028, depending on final permitting and financing. Following the equity offering, Perpetua “is focused on finalizing a potential royalty or stream arrangement with financial assurance guarantees, commencing early works construction in the fall of 2025 while advancing the Exim debt financing,” CEO Jon Cherry said in the statement. Investors should expect news on a potential royalty or stream financing of up to $250 million in the second half of 2025, Nizabi said. Perpetua is also working on securing a financial assurance guarantee for $155 million, he added. Perpetua had $425.4 million of cash as of June 30. A $2 billion debt financing from Exim Bank would represent one of the largest potential federal loans ever offered to a domestic mining project. The US Department of Defense has also granted Perpetua more than $80 million, citing antimony’s essential use in munitions and other defence systems. Chinese dominance Should it go ahead, Stibnite would help to reduce China’s dominance of the antimony market. An open-pit operation at Stibnite may produce 337,000 oz. of gold annually in the first four years and about 301,000 oz. per year over the life of mine for about 4 million oz. gold over its mine life, according to a 2020 feasibility study. At a gold price of $1,600 per oz. and $3.75 per lb. of antimony, the project would have an after-tax net present value (NPV) of $1.32 billion at a 5% discount rate, with an internal rate of return (IRR) of 22% and payback in under three years. At spot prices used in the 2025 financial update, the NPV increases to $3.65 billion and the IRR rises to 27%, with a payback of 2.2 years. All-in sustaining costs are estimated at about $435 per oz. in the early years and $756 per oz. over the life of the mine, placing it among the lowest-cost gold projects in a tier-one jurisdiction. Located in Idaho’s Stibnite-Yellow Pine district, about 160 km northeast of Boise, the project hosts 104.6 million proven and probable tonnes grading 1.43 grams gold per tonne and 0.064% antimony for 4.8 million oz. gold and 148 million lb. antimony, according to the feasibility study.

The New Zealand dollar added gains earlier today but was unable to consolidate. NZD/USD is trading at 0.5927, down 0.19% on the day. The New Zealand dollar has surged as much as 1.9% since Thursday. New Zealand manufacturing sales slides New Zealand's manufacturing sector continues to struggle. Manufacturing sales fell sharply in the second quarter with a 2.9% decline. This was a sharp reversal from the 4.8% in Q1 and well below the market estimate of 4.5% increase. Manufacturing sales were broadly lower across the sector and are expected to weigh on second-quarter GDP, which will be released next week. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand lowered the cash rate to 3.0% last month as it continues to be aggressive. The RBNZ has chopped 225 basis points in the current easing cycle and is expected to continue easing in order to boost the weak economy. The RBNZ meets next on October 20 and the the third-quarter inflation report just a few days prior will be critical. Inflation jumped to 2.7% in Q2 but that is still within the Reserve Bank's target band of 1-3%. If inflation moves lower, the central bank will have greater flexibility to deliver another rate cut in October. In the US, the Federal Reserve is poised to deliver a rate hike next week for the first time since December 2024. The weak nonfarm payrolls report has raised the likelihood of a half-point cut to 12%, with a quarter-point cut priced in at 88%, according to CME's FedWatch. NZD/USD Technical NZD/USD has pushed below support at 0.5935 and is testing 0.5937.

Energy Fuels (NYSE-A: UUUU) (TSX: EFR) soared on Tuesday after receiving confirmation that its US mined and processed rare earth products are qualified for making permanent magnets used in electric vehicles and hybrid EVs. In a press release, the Colorado-based company announced that its high-purity neodymium-praseodymium (NdPr) oxides have successfully been used by South Korea’s POSCO for the manufacturing of rare earth permanent magnets. POSCO is a global leader in the manufacturing of traction motor cores used in EVs and hybrids, and the largest supplier in South Korea. Earlier this year, it signed a memorandum of understanding to process NdPr oxides supplied by Energy Fuels into metal, alloy and finished magnets to qualify for use in its traction motor cores. For that, Energy Fuels has also confirmed that the NdPr oxides have passed all quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) benchmarks for EV drive unit motors sold to major automotive manufacturers across North America, the EU, Japan and Korea. Drive units powered by Energy Fuels’ NdPr oxides are expected to be installed in new vehicles and be available in the marketplace within the next few months, it added. Energy Fuels said the 1.2 metric tonnes of NdPr oxide it supplied POSCO earlier this year were processed into approximately 3 metric tonnes of magnets, enough to power approximately 1,500 new vehicles. “We are excited to announce that rare earth oxides mined, processed and produced in America are expected to be powering EVs and hybrids for sale around the world very soon, representing a major achievement in restoring domestic critical mineral supply chains,” stated Mark Chalmers, CEO of Energy Fuels. “Commercial validation of our rare earth oxides at scale is a significant triumph for Energy Fuels, proving we have the capacity and expertise to produce rare earth materials that meet both commercial and defense requirements, at scale and to appropriate purity and performance specifications,” he added. With the successful validation, the parties now plan to discuss a potential longer-term supply arrangement. These may include commercial-scale REE metallization, alloying and magnet production initiatives, as disclosed in their March MOU. Shares of Energy Fuels jumped over 5% by 11 a.m. in New York following the announcement, giving the company a market capitalization of just under $3 billion. In Toronto, its stock rose 6% for a C$4 billion market capitalization. US-produced rare earths The successful production of rare earth permanent magnets from Energy Fuels’ NdPr oxides marks a decisive breakthrough in building a “mine-to-magnet” supply chain independent of China, the company said, emphasizing that its products are strictly produced in the US. The NdPr oxides are produced at Energy Fuels’ White Mesa mill in Utah, the only licensed uranium mill in the US, with the added capability to produce other critical minerals such as rare earth elements. The rare earths are derived from monazite concentrates supplied by heavy mineral sands operations across Florida and Georgia. In addition to producing neodymium and praseodymium, which are considered “light” rare earths, the White Mesa mill is also piloting the production of the more in-demand “heavy” rare earths, starting with dysprosium — also a key ingredient in permanent magnets. First production of high-purity dysprosium oxide was achieved last month. “We plan to construct ‘heavy’ rare earth oxide capacity in 2026 at our White Mesa mill in Utah, thereby ‘closing the loop’ on this important non-China supply chain,” Chalmers said.

US President Trump will not be happy with this one: After firing Biden's BLS appointee for "rigged" statistics, it turns out that statistics really aren't all that great. The high-tier data revision highlights a -911K revision since March 2025. This would put even more emphasis on the weakening trend of the US Labor Market. Revisions to the Bureau of Labor Statistics data get released every trimester and offer a preliminary review of the data. Most Read: Bitcoin (BTC/USD) Eyes Further Gains as Strategy Expands Holding and ETF Flows Remain Strong The final benchmark revision will be released in February 2026 with the January 2026 employment situation news release. You can access the report right here: https://www.bls.gov/news.release/prebmk.nr0.htm US Labor Market Flashing Recessionary Signs? The fact that the preliminary benchmark revision is negative is no real surprise. Looking back at the data since 2019 and the revisions have been negative every year except in 2022. The latest data suggests employers added nearly 76,000 fewer jobs per month than previously reported from April 2024 through March 2025. While Tuesday’s numbers don’t include month-by-month revisions, the sheer breadth implies that payroll growth in some months, likely August and October 2024, was likely negative. Looking at private payrolls, the BLS revised down annual job gains by 880,000, with the trade, transportation, and utilities sector logging the biggest mark downs. Economists at Goldman Sachs, J.P Morgan, Nomura Securities, and Royal Bank of Canada expect the agency to mark down net job gains by as much as 900,000 on an annual basis, or by about 75,000 a month, on average. That would shift the average monthly gain to about 74,000 jobs, compared with the average monthly gain of 149,000 currently reported—and could mean growth in some months was negative in the period measured. Bank of America’s team has forecasted a downward revision of up to a million fewer jobs in the 12 months to March. In the words of Moody's Analytics top economist Mark Zandi, “If businesses start laying [people] off, then I think this will not just be a jobs recession, but will be an overall economic downturn.” These words are starting to ring in the ears of some market participants no doubt. Given what we are seeing with Gold prices and the haven appeal going around, some are well positioned for what may be ahead for financial markets. It may not be a fair reflection but part of the problem facing business over the last few months has been uncertainty. A lot of which has stemmed from erratic trade policies put forth by the Trump administration . For all the chatter by the administration around tariffs it does not seem to be yielding any results. The budget deficit continues to widen while the fairytale that factory jobs will return to the US was always a pipedream. It is just too costly to manufacture for export in the United States and that is basic mathematics. So where does this leave the US economy? Of course it is not all doom and gloom, but warning signs are flashing. If concerns around a potential recession continue to rise, this could have a lasting impact on not just the US Dollar but global markets as well. Oil prices could feel the heat while safe havens could continue their impressive 2025 rally to unprecedented highs. Immediate Market Reaction The US Dollar Index first fell when the news came out before moving higher to trade up around 0.12% on the day. The index had traded at 7 week lows earlier today before bouncing higher with ever evolving rate cut expectations driving price moves. Bets on a 25 basis point cut, that was already priced in, were intact while ones on a jumbo 50 bps reduction jumped to about 10% before settling around 8%, as per CME's FedWatch tool Source: CME FedWatch Tool Technical Analysis - US Dollar Index (DXY) From a technical standpoint, the DXY is attempting a recovery today as markets wait on CPI data due on Thrusday.

The cryptocurrency market is closely watching Dogecoin this week as Nate Geraci, chairman and president of The ETF Store, says the first Dogecoin ETF could launch very soon, possibly within days. Meanwhile, market analyst Javon Marks predicts that the memecoin could be on the edge of a massive rally, which may bring huge gains of more than 860 percent for holders. First Dogecoin ETF Could Arrive This Week Nate Geraci shared his view on X that the first Dogecoin ETF appears likely to launch this week. He pointed to the REX-Osprey DOGE ETF, which will trade under the ticker symbol $DOJE. Geraci told followers to “get ready,” and he added that he thinks the next two months for crypto ETFs will be “wild.” His words suggest that not only Dogecoin but also other crypto funds could be part of a very active period in the ETF space. ETF provider REX Shares also confirmed the REX-Osprey DOGE ETF. The company announced that $DOJE is coming soon and will be the first ETF to give investors direct exposure to Dogecoin’s performance. For fans of the iconic memecoin, this means there will be a new and regulated way to invest in DOGE without holding the coin directly. The ETF filing with the U.S. SEC, which includes a prospectus for the offering, confirms that the plan is official and already moving forward, making Geraci’s comments about an ETF launch this week more realistic. If it goes live, the Dogecoin ETF will join the growing list of crypto ETFs already on the market, but it will stand out as the first dedicated to DOGE. Analyst Predicts A 860% Surge In The Dogecoin Price While news about a Dogecoin ETF is making waves, market analyst Javon Marks has put forward an even more dramatic outlook for the coin’s price. Based on his review, he believes the coin could rise more than 860% from its current levels. His price target is about $2.28, though he added that the move could even go much higher. Marks explained that Dogecoin’s earlier cycles have shown a pattern of big rallies, and the current setup is similar. That is why he thinks a near 10X rally could be looming in the future. In the past, the memecoin often spent long stretches moving sideways and building strength before breaking out into significant gains. Marks sees the same type of structure now, which is why he believes another large rally may be starting. With the possibility of the first Dogecoin ETF launching this week and a well-known analyst suggesting massive price growth, the coin is once again at the center of attention in the crypto market. Investors are now watching both the ETF decision and the price charts to see if these bold calls will become reality.

Austin Hilton, a well-known crypto analyst, has issued a fresh warning to XRP investors, urging them not to “get caught” amid the cryptocurrency’s latest market movement. With XRP showing signs of volatility and uncertainty surrounding its next major price direction, the analyst’s cautionary message serves as a reminder for traders to stay vigilant and patient. The Trap XRP Investors Need To Avoid Hilton recently shared a video report on X social media, cautioning XRP holders about a common trap that they often fall into during extended consolidation phases. He explained that XRP has been trading sideways within a narrow range of $2.80 and $3.30 for roughly 48 days now. While some investors may interpret this stagnation as a sign of weakness or lack of future potential, Hilton argues the opposite. According to him, periods of consolidation should not be viewed as setbacks but as essential, healthy stages in an asset’s price cycle and long-term growth. Drawing on his 30 years of investment experience, Hilton noted that both stocks and cryptocurrencies naturally progress through phases of upward surges, corrections, and sideways movement. He added that the real risk comes when investors misinterpret a consolidation phase as the end of growth, leading them to prematurely sell their holdings out of boredom, frustration, or anxiety. The analyst further emphasized that sideways trading in cryptocurrencies is often a precursor to significant upward moves. He highlighted XRP’s performance earlier in July, when, after a similar period of consolidation, the altcoin rallied by more than 61%. To him, this serves as evidence that XRP uses these quiet pullback periods to build strong support levels before advancing to higher price ranges. Building on this point, Hilton advised new and inexperienced investors not to fall for the consolidation trick and abandon their positions, as doing so could mean missing out on potential gains. He also reminded holders that external market events such as the upcoming FOMC Meeting could act as a catalyst for a price breakout after extended periods of calm. Expert Predicts XRP Explosive Surge To $6 In other news, crypto market expert Gordon offered a bold projection for XRP’s price trajectory, predicting a potentially rapid surge to $6. He observed that XRP has been consolidating at its current level for months, suggesting that it is preparing for a strong breakout to new all-time highs. The analyst’s monthly chart supports his bullish outlook. It shows steady upward momentum, with increasingly larger candlesticks that reflect strong buying pressure and renewed confidence among investors. Despite seeing a slight surge from the $2.8 range to $2.95, at the time of writing, XRP would still have to rally by approximately 103% to reach the projected $6 target. Fortunately, the explosive candle highlighted in Gordon’s chart demonstrates that the altcoin has entered a stage where price accelerations could happen swiftly.

JPMorgan’s US trading desk is cautioning clients that a widely expected Federal Reserve rate cut on September 17 could mark a near-term peak for risk assets rather than a new leg higher—an outcome that would not spare crypto. In a note flagged by desk head Andrew Tyler, the bank writes: “We have concerns that the September 17 Fed meeting which delivers a 25bp cut could turn into a ‘Sell the News’ event as investors pullback to consider macro data, Fed’s reaction function, potentially stretched positioning, a weaker corporate buyback bid, and waning participation from the Retail investor.” The timing matters. The Fed’s next policy meeting runs September 16–17, with a statement and press conference scheduled for Wednesday, September 17. That calendar alone has become a catalyst as traders position around both the size of the cut and the tone of the guidance. Standard Chartered, pointing to a labor market that has cooled far faster than anticipated, now expects the Fed to deliver a 50-basis-point move. “August labor market data has paved the way for a ‘catch-up’ 50 basis point rate cut at the September FOMC meeting, similar to what occurred at this time last year,” the bank said, after US nonfarm payrolls rose by just 22,000 in August and the unemployment rate ticked up to 4.3%. JPMorgan’s desk is not abandoning its “lower-conviction Tactical Bullish” stance, but it is urging investors to carry insurance into the event. In addition to recommending that equity investors “consider” adding or increasing gold exposure as cut expectations sap the dollar, Tyler’s team spelled out more explicit hedges for a volatility shock: “we like VIX call spreads or VXX longs as a hedge, as well as parts of Defensives.” The macro backdrop has indeed turned more complicated. August payrolls barely grew and prior data were revised down, while the unemployment rate rose to a near four-year high, developments that have hardened expectations for policy easing but also raised the specter of a growth scare. Meanwhile, gold has been screaming higher—printing successive record highs above $3,600/oz—as investors price both easier policy and broader political-economic risk. Those concurrent signals—weakening labor, stronger bullion—frame why a rate cut may not automatically equal “risk-on” for beta. Crypto Faces Volatility Test For crypto, the read-through is two-sided and highly path dependent. On one hand, the same jobs-driven repricing that has juiced gold has also supported bitcoin in recent sessions as traders lean into the idea of easier money and a softer dollar—classic tailwinds for risk assets and for store-of-value narratives alike. On the other hand, a mechanical “equities down, vol up” impulse around the decision would likely transmit into crypto assets, where cross-asset de-risking and margin unwinds have historically amplified intraday swings. That tension is visible in current coverage: bitcoin has bounced back toward the $112k area alongside rate-cut bets, yet several market observers warn that a run-of-the-mill 25bp move—especially if framed as a “hawkish cut”—may fail to spark a sustained crypto rally. Notably, a “catch-up” 50bp cut, as Standard Chartered projects, would accelerate the compression in real yields and could weaken the dollar at the margin—conditions that have tended to support bitcoin and liquidity-sensitive altcoins when the move is not seen as recessionary triage. Conversely, a smaller or caveated cut could deliver precisely the “sell the news” pattern JPMorgan warns about, with equities and high-beta assets like crypto marking lower first before reassessing the glide path. History is no lodestar—post-cut outcomes have ranged from strong rallies in mid-cycle adjustments to drawdowns when cuts presaged recession—but it does argue for elevated realized volatility around the first step. At press time, Bitcoin traded at $112,739.

Mining equipment maker Komatsu (TYO: 6301) and electric vehicles software developer Applied Intuition are joining forces in a multi-year strategic partnership to fast-track the rollout of autonomous mining vehicles. The deal marks the most significant technology investment in Komatsu’s 104-year history, the company said. Komatsu will integrate Applied Intuition’s Vehicle OS into its fleet to power advanced onboard systems, including collision avoidance and autonomous haulage. The Japanese equipment giant will also use Applied Intuition’s AI-driven tools to boost energy efficiency, safety, and productivity. “This partnership will unlock productivity in some of the world’s harshest operating environments while keeping workers safe,” said Qasar Younis, co-founder and CEO of Applied Intuition. He described the mining sector as facing “a perfect storm” of safety risks, labour shortages, decarbonization pressures, and rising demand for critical minerals. Peter Salditt, president of Komatsu’s Mining Business Division, called the deal a “step-change” in the company’s ability to deliver autonomous solutions. “Together with Applied Intuition, we’re combining mining expertise with cutting-edge autonomous software capabilities to accelerate the deployment of intelligent machines,” he said. Pressure to modernize The partnership arrives as the global mining sector faces mounting pressure to modernize. By 2027, the market is expected to reach $2.78 trillion, yet most mining trucks remain manually operated. Haulage and machinery remain the leading causes of mining fatalities, according to the US Mine Safety and Health Administration. At the same time, McKinsey estimates mining and metals contribute 4% to 7% of global greenhouse gas emissions, largely from diesel-powered vehicles. The Komatsu–Applied Intuition partnership positions intelligent, AI-driven vehicles at the centre of the sector’s next chapter.

The crypto market seems sleepy no more. Bitcoin looks oversold and ready to bounce, Ethereum is catching its breath, and XRP even smells recovery brewing. That lull in volatility might just be the calm before a fresh bull wave. If you’re hunting for the next big upside, presales are a tried-and-true way to get in early. Think of meme coins that once started as jokes and turned into deep-pocket fortunes, or altcoins so solid they quietly became staples. Here are three best crypto presales that could surge if the market wakes up. We’ll walk you through why each is catching steam, what they do, and what makes them worth a look. Market Is Catching Its Breath Before the Next Move The latest market data paints an odd picture. Ethereum, usually the king of big swings, has almost flatlined in volatility. At around $4,350, ETH looks like it’s asleep at the wheel, with daily candles shrinking and trading volume fading fast. Analysts warn that a lack of movement can be dangerous, but history shows it often ends with fireworks – either a breakout to $4,6K or a slip back to $3,6K. Meanwhile, Bitcoin is quietly setting up for a potential surge. Trading at around $112K, it sits just above its 100-day moving average with an RSI (Relative Strength Index) of 47, a zone that has often signaled oversold conditions. XRP is also staging a comeback, bouncing off $2.77 support and testing resistance at $3. Together, these signs suggest the lull could be temporary. And when majors stall, new crypto projects often become the spark that grabs fresh capital and investor excitement. 1. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) – The Fastest Layer-2 Built to Unleash $BTC Bitcoin may be the ultimate store of value, but in this market cycle that’s not enough. As the latest news shows, $BTC is hovering just above long-term support and could be gearing up for another run. If Bitcoin does wake up, the projects that supercharge it will shine brightest. That’s where Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) comes in. Right now, you can buy $HYPER for $0.012885, and the presale has already raised $14.6M. Unlike sidechains or half-measures, Bitcoin Hyper is a full Layer-2 blockchain built to scale Bitcoin into something far more usable. It delivers sub-second transactions, near-zero fees, and cross-chain compatibility from day one. That means Bitcoin can finally host meme coins, dApps, and DeFi instead of watching Ethereum and Solana take all the action. Under the hood, Bitcoin Hyper runs on the Solana Virtual Machine, giving it proven speed and seamless integration with Solana’s ecosystem. Think of Bitcoin as the base layer of money and Hyper as the execution layer where everything happens – payments, trading, culture, and community. For presale buyers, $HYPER is more than a token. It’s a stake in Bitcoin’s future. 2. Best Wallet Token ($BEST) – Your Key to the Next Wave of Presales In a market where Ethereum has gone quiet and traders are waiting for the next big move, early access becomes priceless. That’s what Best Wallet Token ($BEST) delivers. You can buy $BEST for just $0.025615 per token and with $15.6M already raised in presale, $BEST is a ticket to be first in line when the next breakout altcoin arrives. Best Wallet is already carving out a space as a next-generation app, built to challenge outdated tools like MetaMask with a smoother interface and Fireblocks-level security. But the real value for $BEST holders is what comes next. Holding the token unlocks reduced transaction fees, governance rights, and boosted staking rewards. Most importantly, it gives exclusive access to Upcoming Tokens, a built-in tool that lets you join new crypto presales directly inside the app without dodgy links or scam mirrors. With a growing social following and a self-proclaimed 50% user growth every month, the Best Wallet ecosystem is heating up fast. If XRP and Bitcoin keep showing recovery signs, $BEST holders will already have front-row seats to the next wave of launches. 3. Layer Brett ($LBRETT) – Meme Power Meets Layer-2 Speed When Bitcoin hints at a rebound and Ethereum sits in a lull, meme coins often return to center stage. But Layer Brett ($LBRETT) isn’t your average meme coin – it’s blending culture with real infrastructure. Priced at $0.0055 and already raising $3.1M in its presale, $LBRETT shows there’s strong appetite for a project that goes beyond the jokes. Built as an Ethereum Layer-2 solution, Layer Brett offers what the majors are currently lacking: speed, low fees, and fresh momentum. It delivers sub-second transactions, supports NFT tie-ins, and comes with staking rewards that stretch into triple digits – some APYs reaching as high as 800%. For a market hungry for excitement, that’s like handing degens a rocket with a meme mascot strapped to the side. The idea is simple but powerful: use meme branding to attract attention, then back it up with a tech stack that actually works. If meme coins roar back during this recovery cycle, Layer Brett could be the one that lasts. It’s fun, it’s functional, and it’s already gaining traction before hitting the wider market. Crypto Presales at the Front of the Recovery Stage Presales have always been the noisy campfires of crypto, where early believers gather, stories are told, and fortunes sometimes spark overnight. They carry risk, sure, but they also carry the thrill of being first in line when momentum shifts. With Bitcoin showing signs of life, Ethereum poised for its next move, and XRP sniffing out recovery, timing couldn’t be more interesting. Bitcoin Hyper, Best Wallet Token, and Layer Brett each bring a unique edge – scaling tech, access to early launches, and meme-driven energy with real muscle. If the market rebounds, these presales could ride the wave from the very front. Remember that this article isn’t financial advice. Always do your own research (DYOR) before investing in crypto.

Tom Lee, the Managing Partner of Fundstrat Global Advisors, CNBC, stated that Bitcoin could reach $200K by the end of this year. Known for making bold financial predictions in the past, Lee anticipates that the U.S. central bank’s upcoming interest rate cut on September 17, 2025, will trigger a surge in $BTC prices. Lee added that assets like Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum can be very sensitive to changes in monetary policy, and the upcoming interest rate cut could serve as a major catalyst for driving the price increase. According to CoinMarketCap, Bitcoin has risen by 1.37% in the past 24 hours, rounding off the price of one token to $112,510.63. The coin performed slightly less than the broader total crypto market, which saw gains of roughly 1.6%. Tom Lee’s latest Bitcoin price forecast is turning heads and fueling momentum for the Bitcoin Hyper presale. His bullish prediction has sparked a surge in market optimism, capturing the attention of both retail traders and institutional investors. As confidence grows, Bitcoin Hyper emerges as a key player, drawing in those eager to capitalize on the next big crypto opportunity. Tom Lee’s Shocking Predictions That Actually Came True In The Past As one of the most respected financial advisors globally, Tom Lee has earned a reputation for his insightful Bitcoin predictions. Over the years, many of his forecasts have proven spot-on, while others have been close to the mark, further cementing his status as a trusted voice in the crypto world. In 2017, Lee predicted the emergence of $BTC as a scarce store of value and forecasted a price surge for $BTC from around $2,500 to a significantly higher rate by the end of that year. He has also forecasted that Bitcoin prices would reach $20K by 2022. However, $BTC prices surpassed his predictions and peaked at over $69K in 2021. Lee’s prediction for Bitcoin materialized earlier than expected. Another prediction by Lee in January 2018 suggested that BTC prices would reach $125K by 2022, a milestone achieved almost three years later than his suggested time period. Considering the credibility of Lee’s past forecasts, his latest $BTC prediction has reignited attention to Bitcoin and related projects among investors. Additionally, data from CoinMarketCap indicate a bullish momentum with indicators like RSI and MACD, steering additional interest toward Bitcoin-based tokens like Bitcoin Hyper. Can Inflation and Jobs Reports Dictate Bitcoin’s Near-Term Momentum? As the world braces for the Federal Reserve’s “Make-or-Break” Data week beginning September 8th, 2025, crypto experts expect the Fed’s policy decisions and interest rate changes to catalyze $BTC’s near-term momentum. Speculation is building around the possibility of aggressive interest rate cuts, with some forecasts predicting a reduction of up to 50 basis points. FedWatch data, however, points to at least a 25-basis-point cut, signaling potential shifts in the market that investors are closely watching. Experts expect a 90% chance of this event occurring, which could boost Bitcoin’s price. However, if the Fed plans to delay the interest rate cuts due to high inflation, Bitcoin’s price rally could stagnate. Although the Fed’s policy decisions may increase market volatility, they could also boost the price of BTC in the short to medium term. Investors can take comfort in that the ‘Make or Break’ Data week lays the groundwork for a bullish Q4 for $BTC and $HYPER in 2025, assuming rate cuts happen. What Bitcoin’s September Surge Means for Bitcoin Hyper’s Exploding $14.6M Presale? Bitcoin’s strong momentum this year is gaining more traction for the Bitcoin Hyper presale. This Layer 2 solution, built to enhance Bitcoin’s utility and scalability, launched its presale on May 14, 2025. $HYPER, powered by Ethereum, is set to tackle significant challenges like high fees, sluggish transactions, and restricted contract functionalities by utilizing Solana’s advanced virtual machine. This innovative approach enhances scalability and paves the way for $BTC holders to unlock new possibilities, expanding the potential of decentralized applications (DApps) and opening fresh avenues for Bitcoin in DeFi and NFTs. Bitcoin Hyper’s presale has raised just over $14.6M to date, selling tokens to presale participants at $0.0115 each. The project also plans to list on exchanges at nearly $0.013 and anticipates a potential 13% post-listing upside. $HYPER offers staking rewards for early participants with APYs up to ~150%, allowing you to increase your token holdings during the presale phase. You can join the Bitcoin Hyper presale using cryptocurrency or fiat options via their presale website. Two highly acclaimed blockchain security firms — Coinsult and SpyWolf — audited Bitcoin Hyper’s token, confirming that the project is secure with no backdoors, hidden mint functions, or blacklist features. The audit results vouch for Bitcoin Hyper’s credibility, security, and transparency. The presale prices are rising gradually as $HYPER nears its listing price. Check out the $HYPER presale website today to become an early investor and reap the benefits. That said, always conduct your own research before investing in cryptocurrencies, as the market involves significant risks and high volatility. This article isn’t financial advice.

Solana (SOL) is entering a pivotal phase after rallying more than 40% since early August, pushing the price to its highest level since February. This remarkable surge has reignited bullish sentiment, with traders and investors now closely watching whether Solana can sustain its momentum or if a period of consolidation lies ahead. The coming days are expected to be decisive in determining the next major price direction for SOL. Despite ongoing volatility across the broader crypto market, Solana bulls are showing resilience. The asset’s sharp recovery underscores renewed confidence in its ecosystem, driven by strong network activity, DeFi adoption, and its positioning as one of the leading Ethereum competitors. Yet, the key factor supporting optimism comes from on-chain data. According to Lookonchain, whales have been actively accumulating SOL during this rally, signaling strong conviction in its long-term potential. The presence of large-scale buyers suggests that even amid fluctuations, demand for Solana remains elevated. This behavior highlights a critical dynamic: whales often position themselves ahead of major moves, reinforcing the bullish narrative surrounding SOL. Whether this momentum continues will depend on how Solana reacts to resistance levels in the coming sessions, making this a crucial moment for investors and traders alike. Whale Moves Signal Growing Confidence In Solana Lookonchain reports that in the past 24 hours, two whale wallets withdrew a combined 376,076 SOL (valued at approximately $80.7 million) from Binance and transferred the tokens to Kamino. This move not only underscores whale confidence in Solana’s long-term potential but also signals a broader trend in the market: investors are rotating capital into large-cap altcoins in anticipation of a rally. Such large-scale withdrawals are typically interpreted as a bullish sign. By moving funds from centralized exchanges to DeFi protocols like Kamino, whales demonstrate an intent to hold or deploy capital strategically for yield, rather than prepare for near-term selling. This conviction aligns with the broader strength we’ve seen across altcoins in recent weeks. Ethereum’s recent pause has created a window of opportunity for alternative layer-1 networks like Solana to shine. If ETH continues to consolidate, capital rotation into SOL and other altcoins could accelerate, pushing them into fresh rallies. The market has already rewarded Solana with an impressive surge since early August, and whale accumulation only reinforces the bullish outlook. Technical Details: Price Testing Key Resistance Solana is showing strong momentum, trading at $218.91 after a sharp 9.37% daily surge. The chart highlights that SOL is now testing a critical resistance zone not seen since early 2025, marking its highest levels in months. This recovery follows a steady uptrend from the May lows near $140, with the price supported by higher lows and consistent buying pressure. The 50-day moving average (blue) sits well below the current price at $167.48, reflecting strong bullish momentum, while the 100-day (green) at $177.10 and the 200-day (red) at $163.01 confirm that the medium and long-term trend remains positive. As long as SOL stays above these key averages, the bullish structure is intact. However, SOL is now confronting a significant resistance barrier around $220–$225, a zone that has rejected rallies in the past. A decisive breakout above this level could open the path toward $250 and beyond, pushing the token into a new bullish phase. On the downside, a failure to break resistance could lead to a retest of support levels at $200 and $185. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView
