The Beige Book rarely matters but around economic turning points it can be a market mover.Retail sales, including autos, remained mixed; sales of discretionary items and durable goods, like furniture and appliances, declined, on average, as consumers showed more price sensitivity.four Districts reported modest growth, two indicated conditions were flat to slightly down, and six noted slight declines in activityDemand for transportation services was sluggishManufacturing activity was mixed, and manufacturers' outlooks weakenedConsumer credit remained fairly healthy, but some banks noted a slight uptick in consumer delinquencies The economic outlook for the next six to twelve months diminished over the reporting period.Price increases largely moderated across Districts, though prices remained elevatedDemand for labor continued to ease, as most Districts reported flat to modest increases in overall employmentSeveral Districts continued to describe labor markets as tight with skilled workers in short supplyFull reportThis fits in completely with the dovish theme that's been emanating from Fed speakers. The economy is slowing, prices are coming down and the labor market is cooling off. This article was written by Adam Button at www.forexlive.com.

OPEC+ is considering a new oil production cut of as much as 1 million barrels a day, according to a report in the WSJ published earlier. Oil has been volatile today, falling earlier in New York trade and then storming back. A similar pattern played out yesterday."A deal for further cuts isn’t assured, and the prospect is facing significant resistance within the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries. A rollover of most existing output curbs is the most likely scenario, the delegates said, but talks are continuing."I would still say there's only about a 20% chance of a cut priced into the market but that's heavy on guesswork.WTI crude was last up $1.17 to $77.57.

Oftentimes in the past year, the amount of Fedspeak has been far too much but we're approaching a turning point in policy so it's one of the rare times where every word matters. This entire stock market rally kicked off with the Fed and if they shift to an explicitly neutral stance, then there's further room to run, along with a hearty put.In any case, next on the docket is Cleveland Fed President Mester, who talks on financial stability at 1:45 pm ET. She's recently been in the 'wait and see' camp on rates. Mester votes next year.At the top of the hour, the latest Beige Book is due out.

Until today, 100 basis points of Fed easing remained something of a ceiling for what the market was willing to price in. However yesterday's dovish comments from Waller changed the equation and late yesterday Bill Ackman piled on, talking about a Q1 cut.Barkin pushed back today but also said that market bets on four rate cuts next year might be based on expectations for soft landing, and "I hope they are right." That indicates at least an openness to cutting if the data cooperates. Add in constructive comments from Bostic and the 100bps ceiling has broken.Now the Fed funds futures market is pricing in a full cut at the May 1 meeting and 115 bps of easing by year-end 2024.You can increasingly see that trade manifest itself in US 2s, which are down another 8.4 bps today and appear to be breaking down.

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the Biden administration is expected to announce tax-credit rules for electric vehicles (EVs) on Friday, impacting the American EV market.These rules involve a $7,500 tax subsidy for new EV buyers, with a specific focus on limiting the use of battery materials from "foreign entities of concern," primarily targeting Chinese suppliers.The definition of "foreign entity of concern" is crucial and challenging for the administration, as it will significantly influence EV prices in the U.S.The aim is to encourage domestic auto-supply chain development and reduce reliance on China, a major clean-energy technology supplier and geopolitical rival.Strict application of these rules could disqualify many EVs from the subsidy, potentially slowing the transition from gasoline-powered vehicles.The subsidy will likely be blocked for vehicles with batteries, components, or minerals made by state-owned Chinese companies, affecting many current EV designs.The prohibition takes effect in 2024 for battery components and in 2025 for minerals.Automakers have been awaiting a clearer definition of "foreign entity of concern" before committing to investment or licensing deals for EV batteries and minerals. Ford Motor's recent deal with Chinese company CATL for a battery factory in Michigan has become a political issue, with calls for rules that would disqualify such batteries from the subsidy. General Motors, without similar deals, has lobbied for a strict interpretation, which could disadvantage Ford's EV plans.Chinese companies are exploring workarounds, like partnering with Korean and Moroccan firms or adjusting ownership structures, to comply with the upcoming rules.

Prior was -$6.63B (revised to -$7.328B)Canada’s current account deficit narrowed significantly to $3.2 billion in Q3 2023, down from larger deficits earlier in the year but still far larger than expected.Goods posted a slight surplus in contrast to the large deficit in Q2 in large part due to energy exports and higher oil prices. The services deficit widened slightly in something of a surprise as it was driven by trade deficits in transportation and an increase in personal travel expenses by Canadians abroad.The surplus with the United States increased by $6.6 billion, reaching $30.0 billion, mainly due to a $7.0 billion rise in exports. Trade deficits with other countries narrowed, with notable changes in trade balances with China and the United Kingdom.On the financial accounts, there was a notable outflow of funds amounting to $41.4 billion, driven by strong acquisitions of foreign securities and record retirements of Canadian government bonds. Canadian investment in foreign securities hit a high, primarily in US instruments. Foreign direct investment in Canada almost doubled from the previous quarter, majorly in the manufacturing sector.Overall, the balance of payments data continues to be a concern for Canada.

The dollar is surprisingly finding some steadier footing in European trading now, with USD/JPY itself up 0.15% to 147.70 on the day. That's quite a modest recovery from the low of 146.90 in Asia trading. Meanwhile, EUR/USD is also down 0.1% to 1.0980 and AUD/USD down 0.4% to 0.6620 currently. The latter is not benefiting from softer inflation data earlier today here.The kiwi is still leading gains on the day but has dropped from 0.6200 to 0.6150 against the dollar, after having been bolstered by more hawkish RBNZ prospects earlier here.The light bounce in the dollar comes despite softer bond yields once again while equities are starting to pick up some steam after two days of tepid momentum. I wouldn't be so quick to say that the dollar has stopped the rot. If anything else, this looks to be just a bit of a breather unless the situation changes up in the bond market.All else being equal, I reckon the selling could hit hard once again when we get to US trading later.

You would think that with the plunge in bond yields this week, equities would've been on a tear and entering a strong rally mode. Instead, it has been anything but in the last two days. And only now in European trading are we seeing some tentative signs of stronger gains with regional indices up around 0.5% to 0.9% while S&P 500 futures are up 0.4% at the highs currently.I would argue that month-end flows could perhaps be offering some counter-argument for stocks to gain. Otherwise, it's hard to pick at reasons why there hasn't been a ripping rally just yet. 10-year Treasury yields have fallen some 17 bps on the week already and even taking out a key technical level here.It's a bit of a topsy turvy day now with the dollar finding some steadier footing on the session but I wouldn't be surprised if the greenback turns around and falls sharply in US trading later.

The reading is out much earlier than expected, with the headlines captured by Reuters. The monthly reading shows a 0.3% decline in consumer prices. Put together with the other state readings, we might see German headline annual inflation come in between 2.9% and 3.2%, which is much lower than the 3.5% estimate and the 3.8% reading from October.That will be a welcome development for the ECB, although it could mean that we are one step closer to debating rate cuts.

NZD/USD has spiked after the RBNZ policy meeting:RBNZ leaves cash rate unchanged at 5.5%, as expectedWhile the OCR is unchanged, as was very widely expected, the Bank raised its rate 'track' and also its estimate of the neutral rate.

Reserve Bank of New Zealand leaves its cash rate unchanged, as was very widely expected, but insists it'll remain restrictive with inflation still being too high. Indeed the track of the OCR from the Bank is slightly higher: Sees official cash rate at 5.63% in March 2024 (prior 5.58%)Sees official cash rate at 5.66% in December 2024 ( prior 5.5%)Sees official cash rate at 5.56% in March 2025 ( prior 5.36%)Sees official cash rate at 3.55% in December 2026More:Sees NZD TWI at around 70.7% in December 2024 ( prior 71.0%)Sees annual CPI 2.5% by December 2024 ( prior 2.4%)More: Interest rates are restricting spending in the economy and consumer price inflation is declining, as is necessary to meet the committee's remit.Interest rates will need to remain at a restricted level for a sustained period of timeHowever, inflation remains too high, and the committee remains wary of ongoing inflationary pressuresDemand growth has eased, but by less than anticipated over the first half of 2023 in part due to strong population growthThe committee is confident that the current level of the OCR is restricting demandThe OCR will need to stay restrictive, so demand growth remains subdued, and inflation returns to the 1 to 3 percent target rangeIf inflationary pressures were to be stronger than anticipated, the OCR would likely need to increase furtherBolding above is mine. The Bank seems happy with the rate where it is but is not ruing out further hikes. From the minutes of the meeting: Committee agreed that interest rates will need to remain at a restrictive level for longerMembers agreed they remain confident that monetary policy is restricting demandOngoing excess demand and inflationary pressures were of concern, given high core inflationMembers discussed the possibility of the need for increases to the OCRMembers agreed that with interest rates already restrictive, it was appropriate to wait for further data and informationMembers agreed that monetary policy was supportive of sustainable house pricesPressure in the labour market is easing, although employment remains above its maximum sustainable levelMembers also noted that most major central banks have indicated that they intend to retain current restrictive policy rates for longer, and are willing to tighten further, if requiredWhile growth in parts of the economy is slowing, there has been less of a decline in aggregate demand growth than expected earlier in the yearCommittee noted that the estimate of the long-run nominal neutral OCR has increased by 25 basis points to 2.50% This article was written by Eamonn Sheridan at www.forexlive.com.

The Australian dollar had dribbled a little lower heading into the CPI data and it dipped a little more in response to the lower than was expected headline:Australian monthly CPI for October 2023 4.9% y/y (vs. expected 5.2%)Headline lower than expectedThe core measure, underlying inflation, 'trimmed mean' was still 5.2%, down from 5.3% in SeptemberOctober data had a large 'goods' representation compared with services so it may be lower than it otherwise would have beenBut enough of the caveats, a December (meeting on the 5th) rate hike from the Reserve Bank of Australia now looks very unlikely indeed. As I noted earlier the monthly data is incomplete, we'll have to wait for the quarterly for a better read. that's not until January 31 2024 for the Q4 CPI q/q. The RBA then meet on February 5 and 6.

People's Bank of China USD/CNY reference rate is due around 0115 GMT.The People's Bank of China (PBOC), China's central bank, is responsible for setting the daily midpoint of the yuan (also known as renminbi or RMB). The PBOC follows a managed floating exchange rate system that allows the value of the yuan to fluctuate within a certain range, called a "band," around a central reference rate, or "midpoint." It's currently at +/- 2% and some think it could widen to 3% this year. How the process works:Daily midpoint setting: Each morning, the PBOC sets a midpoint for the yuan against a basket of currencies, primarily the US dollar. The central bank takes into account factors such as market supply and demand, economic indicators, and international currency market fluctuations. The midpoint serves as a reference point for that day's trading.The trading band: The PBOC allows the yuan to move within a specified range around the midpoint. The trading band is set at +/- 2%, meaning the yuan could appreciate or depreciate by a maximum of 2% from the midpoint during a single trading day. This range is subject to change by the PBOC based on economic conditions and policy objectives.Intervention: If the yuan's value approaches the limit of the trading band or experiences excessive volatility, the PBOC may intervene in the foreign exchange market by buying or selling the yuan to stabilize its value. This helps maintain a controlled and gradual adjustment of the currency's value. This article was written by Eamonn Sheridan at www.forexlive.com.

On-chain data shows that a Chainlink signal that last preceded a 31% rally for the asset’s price has just reversed. Chainlink Age Consumed Metric Has Observed A Sharp Spike Recently According to data from the on-chain analytics firm Santiment, LINK has recently seen a significant movement from old coins. The relevant indicator here is the “Age Consumed,” which tells us whether the dormant Chainlink tokens are on the move or not right now. When the indicator’s value registers a large spike, it’s a sign that the blockchain is currently observing the transfer of a significant number of old coins. Such dormant tokens belong to a cohort called the “long-term holders” (LTHs), made up of the relentless hands of the sector. Related Reading: XRP, BNB Among Altcoins Losing Correlation With Bitcoin: Data As such, this metric surging can be something to watch out for, as it means that these LTHs, who usually remain quiet no matter what’s going on in the wider market, have decided to break their dormancy. Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Chainlink Age Consumed over the last few months: The value of the metric appears to have shot up recently | Source: Santiment on X As displayed in the above graph, the Chainlink Age Consumed indicator has observed a sharp rise recently, implying that the LTHs have been making transactions. At the peak of this latest spike, the metric’s value touched 4.28 billion, which is the highest level seen since the middle of September. Back then, the indicator registered a spike almost double in scale, and interestingly, what followed in the next couple of weeks was a 31% rally as LINK went from $6.36 to $8.22. It’s hard to say if a similar pattern would repeat for Chainlink this time since the LTHs could have broken their silence for several reasons, including for selling. An analyst has pointed out that yesterday (which was about the same time as this spike in the Age Consumed), the whales made many transactions, as the chart below shows. Looks like the metric has spiked up | Source: @ali_charts on X In total, the Chainlink network observed 2,600 transactions valued over $100,000 yesterday. The spike would confirm that the LTHs who broke their dormancy weren’t just ordinary investors but the whales. Related Reading: Dogecoin To Double Its Price If This Barrier Breaks, Analyst Predicts In isolation, it’s hard to say why these two indicators recently observed a spike. Still, when looking at the latest LINK news, perhaps the most likely explanation becomes apparent. Yesterday, Chainlink staking v0.2 went live on the Ethereum blockchain, allowing the v0.1 stakers to migrate toward the new network. Thus, given the close timing of the spikes in the Age Consumed and Whale Transaction Count, it would appear quite probable that these LTHs were making transfers toward the new staking pools. LINK Price Chainlink had observed some drawdown towards the $13.7 mark just recently, but it would seem like the asset has already recovered as it’s now trading around $14.7.

Ethereum has formed a “golden cross” pattern on the 1-week timeframe, marking the second such signal this year. While the long-term implications could be very positive if history repeats itself, there are reasons to temper expectations. A weekly golden cross has formed | ETHUSD on TradingView.com Ethereum Golden Cross And A Possible Target For New ATHs 1W ETHUSD has formed a golden cross for the second time in 2023. A golden cross is a buy signal in moving average-based trading systems. It suggests that the trend is moving in an upward direction and because trends tend to persist, this is notable. The golden signal occurs when a shorter-term moving average (the 50-week MA) crosses through a longer-term moving average (the 200-week MA) from below. A death cross forms when the opposite happens. Related Reading: This Pattern Points To $10,000+ Ethereum Price, But When? The last confirmed golden cross for Ethereum in December 2020 preceded a massive 600% rally over the next year to the asset’s all-time high near $4,900. A repeat move of similar magnitude this time would put Ethereum above $12,000—over six times today’s price of around $2,000. However, it is important to note that not all golden crosses lead to the anticipated upside. In 2023 alone, 1W ETHUSD has death crossed and golden crossed twice now, demonstrating how moving average-based systems are prone to whipsaw without an established trend to follow. Above 20 on the ADX confirms the trend | ETHUSD on TradingView.com An Uptrend Or More Whipsaw? How The ADX Confirms Trends The whipsawing death cross and golden cross price action on the Ethereum 1-week chart failed to generate follow-through in either direction. So how can we be sure that this isn’t yet another premature crossover? This is where the Average Directional Index (ADX) comes in when gauging the validity of moving average crosses. The ADX aims to measure trend strength, typically on a scale of 0 to 100. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Prediction for 2023, 2024, 2025, 2030 and Beyond As the 1-week ADX edges up from below 20, it confirms growing momentum that reduces the odds of more whipsawing price action. Traders often use such ADX readings to confirm golden/death crosses and enter only the most high-conviction signals. The 1W ETHUSD Average Directional Index isn’t yet above 20, but is approaching this key level. Above it, it gives the golden cross much more validity.

The XRP community and Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, are currently in the cryptocurrency spotlight as both parties have been involved in a fiery dispute lately. XRP Community And Charles Hoskinson Face Off On Tuesday, November 28, an XRP community member, Mr. Huber, took to X (formerly Twitter) and called out Charles Hoskinson. The post was accompanied by a snippet video of Hoskinson calling the XRP community conspiratorial. The post read: I’m sorry, @IOHK_Charles, but for two years you did everything you could to make the #XRPcommunity to look ridiculous and embarrass us in public. I know you offered peace, but only to come out of nowhere and call us crazy conspiracy theorists again. No look at you. It’s funny what can happen in a year, isn’t it? Mr. Huber’s X post criticized the Cardano founder on the previous statements he made towards Ripple. Basically, about Ripple’s allegations of corruption in the United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) ranks. Related Reading: Ripple CEO Offers Perspective On Legal Fallout With The SEC Mr. Huber asserts that Hoskinson assisted in the “trivialization and cover-up of Joseph Lubin’s corruption.” According to Huber, it didn’t help the founder because Cardano’s native coin, ADA, is now categorized as a security by the SEC.  In response to the accusations, the co-founder asserted that Huber was unaware that he was paying for Lubin’s price. The Cardano founder stated: You believe that assisting in the trivialization and cover-up of Joseph Lubin’s corruption is a constructive approach to bringing clarity to Cardano. But the opposite is true. Joseph Lubin is smirking in your face because you don’t realize that you are paying for Lubin’s price. Hoskinson further restated that there is no proof of the allegations against the Ethereum co-founder Joe Lubin. As Hoskinson believes, Joseph Lubin did not influence the SEC’s decision to treat Ethereum differently than XRP. Hoskinson stated: Still waiting on a single piece of evidence for the latter. If you cannot provide it, then yes, you are spreading conspiracies and slander. That’s what this has been about for two years now. And somehow you guys still fight. Serious Allegations Need Solid Evidence Hoskinson’s criticism of the dissemination of slander and conspiracies highlights the importance of solid evidence before accusing people of serious allegations. However, members of the XRP community have since criticized Charles Hoskinson’s remarks on the issue. Related Reading: Cardano Founder Addresses ETHGate Rumors: Did Ethereum Bribe The SEC To Go After XRP?

Dogecoin holders just surpassed 5 million addresses this week, a huge milestone for the meme cryptocurrency. According to data from on-chain analytics platform IntoTheBlock, Dogecoin addresses have been growing steadily since the beginning of the year. At the same time, DOGE is up by 43% from its October bottom of $0.056.  However, this growth is still small when compared to other popular cryptocurrencies, as DOGE is still yet to reach $0.1 this year. This major growth in addresses could be the catalyst needed for Dogecoin to reach its next price target to push it to $0.1. New Milestone For Dogecoin The Dogecoin community is one of the most active in the crypto industry, and the meme token is currently in the 8th spot in terms of market cap. According to IntoTheBlock’s Total Addresses metric, the total number of addresses with a balance crossed over 5 million this week to reach a high of 5.11 million on November 27th. At the time of writing, this metric still stands at over 5 million with 5.1 million addresses. Source: IntoTheBlock The surge of new Dogecoin addresses is largely due to growing growing interest and adoption of the cryptocurrency. On the price action end of things, DOGE has increased by 9.00% in a 7-day timeframe as most cryptocurrencies start to turn a profit again after a few weeks of consolidation.  At the same time, IntoTheBlock’s large transaction metric which measures transactions with a value larger than $100,000 has been increasing, reaching a total of $2.08 billion in the past seven days. Balance Among Addresses Despite the rise in addresses with a balance, the holding distribution shows that most of the tokens are concentrated in a few addresses. Around 4.48 million addresses representing 95.5% of the total addresses hold just 1.59% of the total circulating supply. On the other hand, just 700 addresses hold 81% of the total supply.  Source: IntoTheBlock There’s also been a surge in the number of daily transactions, with a 102.09% increase in the number of new addresses and an 89.70% increase in the number of active addresses. Notably, there were 221,330 active DOGE addresses on November 27th. According to IntoTheBlock, this is most likely driven by Dogecoin Doginals. DOGE’s ascent to $0.1 this year seems bleak at the moment, as the crypto will have to go on another 25% increase from its current price in December. DOGE is currently trading around a prior resistance at the $0.081 level and has formed support just around the $0.071 level.   A continued inflow into addresses could see DOGE break above the resistance, and continue its price surge. The next hurdle would be to break above $0.087 before getting to $0.1 for the first time this year.

An analyst has explained how Dogecoin breaking the $0.087 barrier could open the path to DOGE price levels nearly double the recent ones. Dogecoin Has Three Important Lines Converging At $0.087 Right Now In a new post on X, analyst Ali has discussed what the weekly chart of DOGE is looking like right now in terms of some important historical lines. In particular, the levels of interest here are the 100-week EMA, 200-week EMA, and 0.786 Fibonacci. A “moving average” (MA) refers to an analytical tool that calculates the mean of any given quantity over a specific period of time, and as its name implies, it moves in time and changes its value as the quantity fluctuates. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bull Run Is Only Just Starting, According To This Metric This basic tool is quite useful as it smooths out the curve by removing local fluctuations, making a study of long-term trends easier to perform. In the context of the current topic, though, a normal MA isn’t of focus, but rather a modified form called the exponential moving average (EMA). The EMA works like the usual MA, except it places a greater weight on the most recent readings of the quantity. What this means is that the older the reading, the less weightage it has in the metric, so the line’s changes reflect the latest price direction more strongly. Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the 100-week and 200-week EMAs for Dogecoin, as well as the weekly price curve of the meme coin: Looks like the asset's weekly value has been interacting with these lines recently | Source: @ali_charts on X As is visible from the above graph, these two Dogecoin EMAs have approached each other recently and have converged into a narrow range around the $0.087 level. In the past, these two EMAs of the cryptocurrency have posed resistance to the price and it appears that the weekly chart of Dogecoin has been struggling with them again, as it has been finding rejection here during the past three weeks. These two lines aren’t the only ones converging near $0.087, however; it would appear that the 0.786 Fibonacci level is doing the same. The Fibonacci levels listed in the chart are some ratios derived from the famous Fibonacci series.

In his latest analysis, legendary trader John Bollinger has expressed concerns over Litecoin’s performance, particularly in comparison to Bitcoin. Bollinger, known for developing the popular technical analysis tool Bollinger Bands, highlighted a worrying pattern in the Litecoin market. He remarked, “I was asked for an analysis of LTCBTC. The thing that concerns me the most is its underperformance vs Bitcoin. From a price perspective the controlling LTCUSD feature is the 2 bar reversal at the lower Bollinger Band which is typically considered a bearish signal by traders.” Bollinger’s Bearish Litecoin Prediction Explained The chart of the LTC/USD pair provided by Bollinger on November 28, 2023, shows Litecoin’s price action in relation to its Bollinger Bands on both a daily and weekly scale. The price is currently hovering around $69.566, which is significantly lower than the upper Bollinger Band, suggesting a lack of bullish momentum. Related Reading: Litecoin Sustains 4-Month Run With 37% Gain, Beating Most Of Its Peers – Details The Bands form by plotting a range of standard deviations above and below a simple moving average, commonly enveloping the price action. In this chart, the daily vs. weekly candles chart shows that the LTC/USD price is struggling beneath the midpoint of these bands, which is a bearish indication. The price currently near $69.566 is substantially below the upper band level of around $90, which represents a potential resistance level. The Bollinger Bands (BB) on the chart are set with a 20-period moving average with a 2 standard deviation range. Bollinger’s analysis points to a ‘2 bar reversal’ pattern at the lower band. This pattern emerges when a bar reaches a high above the preceding bar but then closes below the close of that same previous bar, hinting at a possible reversal from the uptrend. Such a pattern took place near the lower band, indicating that any effort to drive the price higher meets with resistance, and the prevailing selling pressure is taking hold. Related Reading: Litecoin Whales Are Back In The Game, Can Price Reach $100? The Bollinger %B indicator is also crucial here as it compares the price of Litecoin to the range defined by the Bollinger Bands. A %B value below 0.5 indicates that Litecoin’s price sits nearer to the lower band than to the upper band, potentially signaling weakness. The chart shows the indicator failing to cross the 0.5 level after a plunge toward 0, signifying that the price frequently touches or falls below the lower band. LTC Price Under Pressure The Bollinger Band Width (BBW) serves as another indicator, measuring volatility by assessing the Bollinger Bands’ width. A narrowing of the Bands, as seen in the latter part of the chart, suggests a decrease in volatility and often precedes a significant price movement. In this context, the BBW’s narrowing on the Litecoin chart might indicate that the market is tensing, possibly gearing up for an impending breakout or breakdown. When Bollinger mentions Litecoin’s underperformance relative to Bitcoin, it’s important to note that Bitcoin often leads the crypto market trend. If Litecoin is not keeping up with Bitcoin’s movements, it could suggest a lack of confidence or interest from traders in altcoins (as the current rise in Bitcoin dominance shows) and Litecoin specifically. In summary, Bollinger’s technical analysis indicates that Litecoin is in a precarious position. The price action at the lower Bollinger Band, the bearish ‘2 bar reversal’ pattern, the sub-0.5 Bollinger %B values, and the narrowing BBW all suggest that Litecoin may continue to see downward pressure in the near term. At press time, Litecoin traded at $70.05. The 1-day chart of LTC/USD shows that the altcoin fell below the key support of the 0.236 Fibonacci retracement level at $69.98 two days ago. A retest is currently taking place, a daily close above this is of utmost importance for the Litecoin price. Featured image from Unsplash / Kanchanara, chart from TradingView.com

The Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) latest decision wasn’t enough to hold back the foremost cryptocurrency, Bitcoin. The cryptocurrency crossed $38,000 even on the back of the SEC’s move to delay two Spot Bitcoin ETFs.  SEC Delays Templeton And Hashdex Bitcoin Spot ETF On November 28, the SEC delayed its decision on Templeton and Hashdex’s Spot Bitcoin ETF application. As part of the announcement, the Commission also invited comments on what has been its major concern up till now: the issue of fraud and manipulation and whether or not the surveillance agreements in place can help curb that.   Related Reading: Analyst Uses 5200% Impulse Against Bitcoin To Predict XRP Price Surge To $9.6 Despite this development, the crypto market seemed unperturbed as Bitcoin crossed $38,000, and altcoins also posted some gains. This would come as a surprise to many, considering that the latest momentum in the market has been attributed majorly to the possibility of a Spot Bitcoin ETF approval. A plausible explanation could be the fact that investors are certain that approval is imminent, irrespective of the actions of the Commission. This is evident in the fact that institutional money keeps flowing into the crypto market. CoinShare’s latest report showed that the crypto market, last week, saw its largest weekly inflow since late 2021.  Meanwhile, the SEC’s latest delay is an interesting one, considering that a decision on both applications wasn’t due until January 1, 2024. This has led to several speculations as to whether or not this move still means that approval is on the horizon.  BTC price at $38,140 | Source: BTCUSD on Tradingview.com SEC’s Latest Delay May Be A Good Sign In a post shared on his X (formerly Twitter) platform, Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart questioned the SEC’s actions and what it could mean for a potential approval. He reasoned that the SEC’s decision could be setting things up for a “full wave of approvals” in early January. The analyst had previously put the likelihood of an approval in January 2024 at 90%.   Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Predicts 4400% XRP Price Surge To $27, Here’s When He further stated that the delay on Hashdex’s application (Hashdex’s announcement came shortly after Templeton’s) confirmed his reasoning. He believes that the SEC is moving to set up all applicants for potential approval by January 10, 2024. He quickly noted that these approvals would be for the 19b-4 and didn’t necessarily mean an immediate launch.  Scott Johnsson, a notable attorney from Davis Polk, also shared the same sentiments as Seyffart. He stated that the SEC might have chosen to delay these applications early so that the comment period could end before January 10, 2024. That way, they can approve all applications at the same time.  Featured image from Forkast News, chart from Tradingview.com

Terra has stirred considerable attention of late, experiencing an impressive surge in prices that has left market observers intrigued. The catalyst behind this upward trajectory can be largely attributed to notable advancements within the Terra Ecosystem. A recent substantial capital infusion likely instilled significant confidence among investors, acting as a driving force behind the recent upswing in LUNC prices. Related Reading: Revving Up: Solana Bulls Ready To Charge As Analysts Predict Rally Beyond $80 Examining The Factors Behind LUNC’s Meteoric Surge In the last month, LUNC has been on quite a ride, marking an impressive 90% surge in its value. This has triggered discussions, prompting questions about whether this surge is just a momentary spike or the initiation of a more enduring upward trajectory. The remarkable boost in LUNC’s value finds its roots in a couple of noteworthy events unfolding within the Terra ecosystem. Specifically, Terra Classic Labs strategically invested around $500,000 into TerraClassicUSD (USTC), the algorithmic stablecoin linked to the Terra platform. Our $LUNC and $USTC weekly burn numbers have come in. We had a bumper week, with GIGANTIC burns in both.#LUNC finished the 7-day period with 702M 🔥🔥🔥#USTC finished the week with 2.2M 🔥🔥🔥 We are on track to have the biggest month with regards to the #LuncBurn movement… pic.twitter.com/40SVd2IRTa — titan2022 (@titan20221) November 27, 2023 The considerable token burn that has taken place recently is another key driver of the rally. The quantity of LUNC tokens in circulation has decreased to 5.8 trillion due to the destruction of around 78.24 billion of them, which could put more pressure on the token’s price. The cryptocurrency industry frequently uses this process of token burning to control inflation and increase token value by lowering supply. Related Reading: XRP Market Drama: Ups, Downs And The $3 Horizon – Experts Weigh In On The Future LUNCUSD currently trading at $0.0001199 on the daily chart: TradingView.com LUNC Showing Bullish Side According to data from Coingecko, the price of LUNC has now surged by over 80% this month, with a 71% increase tallied this week in response to the announcement of Mint Cash and Binance’s launch of the USTC perpetual contract. Furthermore, the increase happens a week after Terraform Labs allocated $10 million in assets among three different liquidity pools. As of writing, LUNC is trading at $0.00011. With a $513 million daily trading volume, LUNC’s market capitalization of $661 million places it as the 79th largest cryptocurrency asset. LUNC’s indicators are all in very positive positions, which is not surprising given that the coin has increased by more than 30% in a single day. Before the present rally loses momentum, its relative strength index (purple) may peak at near to 90. Whales are waking up and jumping into #LUNC 👀✈️🚀🚀🚀🚀 — Bull.Lunc (@Bullluncdao) November 27, 2023 The coin’s 24-hour trading volume, which has increased from less than $20 million to more than $600 million virtually overnight, is arguably the most encouraging of all. This surge implies that whales have finally made a comeback to the token, pilfering more of it and igniting a broader rally. Meanwhile, LUNC and USTC reported milestone price increases over the previous week, according to data from the crypto intelligence tracker Santiment. As a result of the two coins’ historic weekly gains, LUNC and USTC are now the top moving cryptocurrencies on Santiment’s tracker. Source: Santiment Santiment’s analysts predict that the milestone price rallies in both cryptocurrencies are probably signs that investors are suffering from FOMO, or the fear of missing out on these tokens’ gains, which has propelled the assets to the top of the list, surpassing both Bitcoin and Cosmos.

In a recent technical analysis published by crypto analyst Egrag, an inverse head and shoulders (H&S) formation has been identified on the XRP/USD chart, indicating a potential bullish reversal in the near term. The pattern, which has been forming over the last two weeks, suggests that XRP could be setting up for a significant price jump. XRP Price Poised For Imminent 20% Jump? The chart by Egrag showcases the XRP price action in a 4-hour time frame, where it has been trading within a descending channel (blue) since the beginning of November. A descending channel is typically considered a bearish pattern. However, last Wednesday, the XRP price broke out of the descending channel. While the breakout didn’t hold up and ended up being a fake-out, it paved the way for the emergence of the inverse H&S pattern which is now changing the momentum in favor of the bulls. Related Reading: XRP, BNB Among Altcoins Losing Correlation With Bitcoin: Data Technically, the inverse H&S pattern is distinguished by two smaller peaks (shoulders) on either side of a larger trough (head), which is evident from the chart’s annotations. The left shoulder formed around the $0.586 support level, with the head dipping as low as $0.574, before rising to form the right shoulder at $0.593. This pattern is indicative of a bearish trend losing momentum and a potential bullish reversal if the pattern completes. Egrag’s analysis points to key price levels to watch, with the neckline of the inverse H&S pattern sitting at approximately $0.6289. A decisive breakout above this resistance level could see XRP prices rally towards the $0.7000 mark, which aligns with the pattern’s predicted breakout target. Beyond this, the analyst’s target sits at $0.7311, which marked the beginning of the descending channel. A rally to this price level would represent a 20% increase from the current XRP price. Related Reading: Analyst Uses 5200% Impulse Against Bitcoin To Predict XRP Price Surge To $9.6 It is crucial to note that while the inverse H&S pattern suggests a bullish outcome, the validity of the pattern will only be confirmed upon a clear break and closure above the neckline. As always, while the technical setup is constructive for XRP bulls, market participants should consider various factors, including market sentiment, news flow, and broader market trends. In a bearish scenario where the inverse head and shoulders pattern is invalidated, the XRP price could move towards the trend line of the descending channel. In his chart, Egrag marks $0.5564 and $0.53 as crucial support levels for the XRP price where a reversal could take place. At press time, XRP traded at $0.61348. On the 1-day time frame, the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement level at $0.628 remains the key resistance level in the short-term. Featured image from Forbes, chart from TradingView.com
