FxPro | 1292 दिनों पहले

Market picture

Crypto market capitalisation rose 2% over the past 24 hours to $858bn. Bitcoin added 2.3% to $17.2K, trading near the top of its range since November 12.

The technical picture remains the same for Bitcoin, and it will need to confirm a move out of its abnormally narrow range, whichever way it moves.

In the event of a further rise, such confirmation would see a consolidation at above $18K, near the 50-day moving average and local support from June through October. A downward move could lead to further decline if it sends the price below $16K.

 

News background

Amid the collapse of FTX and the crypto market, Coinbase's revenues could be halved by 2022, the company's CEO Brian Armstrong said.

A new CNBC poll shows that Americans' attitudes towards cryptocurrencies have deteriorated significantly amid the collapse of the Terra ecosystem and the bankruptcy of cryptocurrency exchange FTX. Only 8% of US residents have a favourable view of crypto assets.

The Ethereum team has said it plans to activate the Shanghai hardfork n March 2023.

Popular Twitter analyst PlanB, author of the stock-to-flow model, reiterated his confidence in the massive growth of bitcoin in 2023 or at least in 2024. According to him, BTC will be worth between $100K and $1 million after the next halving, with the first cryptocurrency expected to bottom in the next three weeks.

The Era of Easy Money May Be Over Again

The Era of Easy Money May Be Over Again

The global rate-cutting cycle appears to have reached its limits. With the Fed, ECB and BoJ all leaning towards tighter policy, a new era of higher rates may be emerging. Yet with debt levels across developed economies already towering, this is a dangerous balancing act. The greatest risk may lie within the old existing economic order weakening without a clear successor ready to take its place.

Gold – hit from both sides at once

Gold – hit from both sides at once

Gold is back near this month's lows around $4,118, and two forces are pulling it down at once. Iran peace talks remove the safe-haven bid while Fed rate signals undercut the inflation hedge. Central bank buying still puts a floor under the price, but Thursday's PCE report may decide whether the slide continues or gold finally finds a reason to bounce.

Hawkish Fed Supports Dollar as Oil Weakness and Political Risks Pressure Major Currencies | 23rd June, 2026

The US Dollar remained dominant as expectations of a hawkish Federal Reserve supported demand for the Greenback. Improving US-Iran relations and the lifting of sanctions on Iranian oil exports increased global supply expectations, pressuring crude oil prices. Meanwhile, political uncertainty in the UK and weaker commodity markets weighed on the Pound, Canadian Dollar, and Australian Dollar.

A £2 Trillion SpaceX: Extraordinary Vision… or Excessive Faith?

A £2 Trillion SpaceX: Extraordinary Vision… or Excessive Faith?

SpaceX may be worth over $2 trillion, but today's revenues hardly justify such a valuation. Investors aren't paying for the current business—they're paying for Starlink, AI, Starship and industries that don't yet exist. The real question isn't whether SpaceX is a great company, but whether reality can keep pace with expectations. At these levels, markets are pricing beliefs as much as fundamentals
