Are you making this common mistake?There’s a huge mistake nearly everyone in crypto makes that kills their portfolio after one cycle. Read this to make sure you are not doing it! Most crypto investors take huge risks without realizing it, and you probably are too. They chase random altcoins and think that if they pump, they'll break even on all their other losses or get rich! This often leads them through a cycle of despair, which makes them give up after a few big losses. Instead, crypto investors should focus on CRYPTOCAP:BTC for the majority of a cycle and only concentrate on strong altcoins that show resilience during CRYPTOCAP:BTC sell-offs as we approach alt season. Then, they should track their portfolio like a pro to monitor their performance and change things where necessary.

XAUUSD - When will the gold trend reverse?!Gold is above the EMA200 and EMA50 on the 1-hour timeframe and is in its ascending channel. A downward correction of gold towards the demand zone will provide us with the next buying position with a good risk-reward ratio. We expect a fluctuation of $10-15 in each range. The global gold market has experienced notable shifts in trade flows following the removal of retaliatory tariffs on metals imposed by the Trump administration. According to data, a significant portion of gold that had been moved to New York since December is now being returned to Switzerland, its original destination. Swiss customs data reveals that gold imports from the United States surged to 25.5 metric tons in March—the highest level in 13 months—up from just 12.1 tons in February. In contrast, gold exports from Switzerland to the U.S. dropped by 32%, falling to 103.2 tons. For the first time in over 14 months, Comex-approved warehouses, part of the CME Group, have recorded consistent outflows of gold. These outflows indicate a reduction in U.S. futures premiums and a decline in trader anxiety following the removal of tariffs. Switzerland has once again emerged as the primary destination for gold leaving American vaults, reaffirming its central role in global gold refining and logistics. Nevertheless, a portion of the gold stored in U.S. warehouses continues to serve as a hedge against market uncertainties. In an average year, the U.S.consumes around 115 metric tons of gold in the form of physical coins and bars. Current data suggests that kilobar inventories held in CME warehouses are sufficient to meet this demand for nearly 12 years. The gold market remains heavily influenced by geopolitical and economic factors. These developments highlight Switzerland’s importance in refining and transportation, as well as the United States’ significant role in gold storage and resource management. Meanwhile, a growing number of economic forecasts are warning that the U.S. may be entering a period of “stagflation”—a situation characterized by stagnating economic growth coupled with persistently high inflation. Tariffs have the potential to drive up consumer prices while simultaneously slowing growth, placing financial pressure on households, particularly if the labor market deteriorates. Central banks face serious challenges in responding to stagflation through monetary policy, as efforts to address one side of the issue often exacerbate the other. Even if the U.S. economy avoids a recession triggered by tariffs, many economists foresee rising risks of a painful stagflationary period. While economic experts remain divided on whether former President Trump’s trade wars will ultimately tip the economy into recession, a large number of recent forecasts underscore the increasing threat of prolonged inflation combined with sluggish growth. Numerous analysts, including Federal Reserve officials, argue that tariffs are likely to hamper economic expansion and weaken the labor market, all while elevating consumer prices. However, Lindsey Piegza, chief economist at Stifel Financial, is among those who believe the labor market and consumers remain resilient enough to help the economy steer clear of a full-blown recession—assuming recently announced tariffs are eventually scaled back.

Habibi, the Price is Right at 70-79$Habibi, the Price is Right Post Content (with emojis version of title at the top): 🤝🛢️ Habibi, the Price is Right at 70–79$ 💸🎯 The Call That Never Happened (But Might Have) 📞 I was just updating my crude oil chart when suddenly… my phone rang. No caller ID. I answered. And somehow— I was patched into a live call between: 🍊🦅 Trump and 🌴👑 the King of Saudi Arabia. They mistook me for a translator. So naturally, I stayed on the line. Here’s how the oil market actually got settled... 🍊🦅 Trump: “Hello? Who is this? I have the best phone security. The Chinese can’t hack it.

US 10Y TREASURY: just a short correctionTariffs continue to be the major market concern, considering its potential impact on inflation, and at the last distance - the decision of the Fed to cut interest rates during the course of this year. The US Administration continues to urge the Fed to cut interest rates, noting that this is the right moment for such a move, while Fed Chair Powell refuses to comment. However, during the previous week, Powell publicly noted that the US economy might be hurt with tariffs in terms of higher inflation. This was not something that the markets were happy to hear, as it meant the possibility of even no rate cuts during the course of this year. The US Treasury yields reacted to this comment from Powell, bringing back volatility to the bond market. The 10Y US Treasury benchmark started the week around 4,48%, and was traded toward the downside during the course of the week. The lowest weekly level was achieved on Wednesday, at 4,27%, but the reversal came on Thursday, when yields reverted back toward the 4,33%. Analysts are still cautious to bring their revised forecast for the US economy. Firstly, because the tariffs are so uncertain, and change almost on a daily basis, where it is extremely hard to bring into the light forecast of their impact on the US economy. However, as long as the US Administration uses tariffs narrative, the volatility on the market will continue.

Gold: boldly to the upsideThe price of gold continues its way up to higher grounds, supported by high uncertainty caused by trade tariffs imposed by the US Administration to the rest of the world countries. Certainly, the most important tariffs are related to China, as the US major trade counterparty, which is currently in a wait-and-see phase. The price of gold reached a new all time highest level at $3.350 on Thursday, after which, the price reverted just a bit. Analysts are noting that this could be the profit-taking moment on the market. The RSI shortly reached the level of 50 two weeks ago, however, reverted again back toward the higher grounds. In the past week, the RSI again headed toward the overbought market side, closing the week at the level of 72. There is still no change with MA lines. Both MA 50 and MA 200 are moving as two parallel lines with an uptrend, without any signal that the potential change of trend might come anytime soon. Analysts are pointing that there might be some short reversal of the price of gold in the coming period, as it reached a fresh new all time highest level. They are pointing that this reversal might be a reflection of a profit=taking. Such a scenario might be possible in the week ahead, but some higher reversal to the downside should not be expected. Fundamentals are the ones which have been driving the price of gold for some time in the past, and they will continue to do it in the future. As long as the topic of tariffs is a major narrative of the US Administration, the price of gold will be supported by it. Considering that gold is currently moving in an uncharted territory, new ATHs are quite possible also in the future.

SPX: hard way upThe S&P 500 index tried very hard to sustain a bit of market optimism, however, it ended the trading week at almost the same level, where it started it. Monday was a positive day, where the index managed to open higher from Friday's close, reaching 5.450, however, through the rest of the week, it was traded with a negative sentiment. Thursday closed at the level of 5.282. Friday was a non-working day on Western markets, due to the Easter holiday. It will be closed also on Monday, which might be treated as a positive, considering current sentiment. Regardless of a drop in the value of the index, the stocks were traded in a mixed manner. Market favourite Nvidia gained almost 3%, supported by its business plan for the next period, increasing their projections for exports to China. This was positive, considering the uncertainties related to trade tariffs between the US and China. Elly-Lilly, a drug maker, gained almost 14%, after posting positive results on a trial of its weight-loss drug. Generally, US companies continue to provide relatively positive results, considering the ongoing uncertainties related to trade tariffs. The another topic which is bringing uncertainty in investors is a pressure from the US Administration on Fed to cut interest rates. Fed Chair Powell, noted during a speech that tariffs implemented by the US Administration could drive up inflation higher, which is certainly something that the market is not at all happy to hear at these sensitive moments. Increased inflation would imply that the Fed will not be in the position to cut interest rates, as planned, during the course of this year. So, regardless of positive results that US companies are still managing to post, still, the inflation fears are the most critical moment for investors, which continues to drive their sentiment for investments.

EURUSD: continuously overboughtPrevious week was the relatively calmer one on financial markets, to some extent due to lack of new information regarding trade tariffs. In addition, Friday was a holiday on Western markets, and was a non-working day, same as Monday in the week ahead. Usually, the pre-holiday period is a relatively calmer one on markets. As for macro data posted for the US, the Retail Sales in March were higher by 1,4% a bit higher from market consensus of 1,3%. The Industrial Production in March dropped by -0,3% for the month, while on a yearly basis was standing at 1,3%. Building permits preliminary for March were at the level of 1.482M a bit higher from market estimate of 1,45M. Building permits were by 1,6% higher on a monthly basis. The major event during the previous week was the ECB meeting and decision on facility rate. For one more time the ECB cut interest rates by 25 basis points. In an after the meeting press conference, the SCB President Lagarde expressed some urgency in light of ongoing trade tensions as well as increased disinflationary pressures. The wholesale prices in Germany dropped by -0,2% in March, leading to an increase of 1,3% on a yearly basis. The ZEW Economic Sentiment Index for April in Germany reached the level of -14,0, which was significantly below estimated 9,5. The Inflation rate in the Euro Zone final for March was standing at 0,6%, a bit higher from previous 0,4%, but in line with market expectations. Inflation rate on a yearly basis in march was at the level of 2,2%. The Producers Price Index in Germany in March was -0,2% for the year and -0,7% for the month. Both figures were well below market estimates. Friday, April 11th, was the critical day from the point of technical analysis, considering that the market pushed the eurusd toward the long term resistance line at 1,14. As expected, the market used the previous week to test this level. The moving range of the currency pair was between 1,1273 and 1,1406. Evidently, at this point of time there was no strength to cross the 1,14 level. The RSI continues to move at the highly overbought market side, above the level of 70. Interesting development occurred with MA lines, where MA 50 crossed the MA 200 from the downside. This formation in technical analysis is called the golden-cross, indicating high potential for a trend reversal, in this case, in the favour of the euro. The week ahead will start slowly, considering Easter holidays on the Western markets. At the same time, there is no currently important news scheduled for a release. The final Michigan Consumer Sentiment for April is set for a release, however, the market is not expecting to see some significant change from the previous post. In this sense, there is a higher probability of a relaxation in the eurusd currency pair. The 1,14 level could be shortly tested again, while on the downside, there is equal probability that the 1,12 support level could be tested again. Important news to watch during the week ahead are: EUR: HCOB Manufacturing PMI Flash for April for Germany and the Euro Zone, Ifo Business Climate in Germany in April, USD: S&P Global Composite PMI Flash for April, Durable Goods Orders in March, Existing Home Sales in March, Michigan Consumer Sentiment final for April.

Bitcoin: slowing downAs markets continue to be highly concerned regarding trade tariffs imposed by the US Administration to the rest of the world, supporting the price of gold, the BTC continues to be somehow left behind the attention of investors. Considering high volatility on other financial markets, and general negative market sentiment, this might actually be good news for BTC. The price of BTC was moving in a relatively short range during the previous week, between levels of $86K, down to $83,5. However, the majority of deals were around $85K. This is the level currently tested for its potential to the upside. In line with BTC movements, the RSI also remained flat, moving around the level of 52. Moving averages of 50 and 200 days are confirming the cross made two weeks ago, with MA 50 currently diverging from MA 200. As previously noted, BTC is currently testing the $85K resistance line, for its potential toward the upside. It also should be considered that Friday and Monday are not working days on Western markets due to Easter holiday. In this sense, modest moves could be expected at the start of the week ahead. In case that the $85K is not breached, then the market will modestly revert toward the downside. In this sense, the level of $ 82K could be shortly tested, but the support level currently stands at $80K.

MARKETS week ahead: April 21 – 27 | XBTFXLast week in the news Tariffs and inflation continue to be the major two words on the financial markets, shaping investors sentiment. The S&P 500 tried to start the week with a positive sentiment, but the two scary words spoiled the game, so the index ended the week almost flat, at the level of 5.282. On the other hand, the word “tariff” continues to strongly support the price of gold, which reached a fresh new all time highest level at $3.354. The US yields are showing a different sentiment, when it comes to potential negative impact on tariffs on the US economy, and especially, Fed's decision to make two rate cuts during the course of this year. The 10Y US benchmark yields dropped during the week, ending it at the level of 4,33%. The crypto market was left a bit behind investors' spotlight. BTC was testing the $85K resistance during the whole week, and was traded in a relatively short range. The news of the week was that the ECB cut its reference interest rates for one more time by 25bps. In an after-the-meeting speech, ECB President Lagarde put trade tensions at the central point and that further restrictiveness of the monetary policy is meaningless. She also noted that a potential cut of 50 bps was also on the table during the ECB meeting. The high uncertainty of potential impact of trade tariffs remains a concern not only for investors on the US markets, but also for the ECB. The ECB President Lagarde urged the introduction of the digital euro in Europe, during the press conference. She called for swift action on the legislative groundwork which will support the introduction of digital euro in the near future. She thinks that such a move is necessary in the current geopolitical environment, which will make the Euro economy more productive, competitive and resilient. There has been a discussion in the news during the previous week, if China is offloading its holdings of US assets. It was based on the news that the largest sellers of US Treasuries two weeks ago were Japan and China. As per analysts involved in the matter, China is still holding around 50% of its foreign portfolios in the US assets. However, referring to recent Chinese sale of US Treasuries, analysts are noting that it might be rather a way to stabilize the renminbi-dollar exchange rate, then actual offloading of US assets. It is also noted that a strong sale of US assets could make renminbi quite stronger, which is not in the best interest of China at this moment. The Canary Capital investment fund has filed with the SEC a proposal for a spot ETF which will track the price of Tron. The investment fund will also offer an extra yield through staking. As Cointelegraph is reporting, one of the largest retailers in Europe, German Spar, is testing payments in Bitcoin at its store in Zug in Switzerland. This is by far the major crypto retail trial in Europe. Crypto market cap CRYPTO MARKET The crypto market was relatively calm during the previous week. There has been a relatively smaller volatility compared to two weeks ago, which was part of markets focus on traditional markets and the word “tariffs”. There have been both weekly gainers and losers, while BTC managed to end the week flat compared to the week before. Total crypto market capitalization also remained flat on a weekly basis, with only a modest funds outflow of around $13B. Daily trading volumes were significantly decreased, to $73B from $130B traded two weeks ago. Total crypto market increase from the beginning of this year, still holds at -18%, with $580B outflow of funds. There have been both gainers and losers among altcoins on a weekly basis. The major coin, BTC remained relatively flat w/w, without significant changes. ETH continues to lose in value. Last week the coin lost 1,5% in value or around $3B. XRP was also on a losing side, decreasing its cap by 2,5% w/w, or $3B. Some of the significant weekly losers include Theta and ZCash with weekly losses of around 10% each, while DOGE was down by 10,6%, followed by ADA, with a drop in value of 9%. On the opposite side was Solana, with a weekly gain of 6% or $4B. Filecoin was traded higher by 3%, and Ethereum Classic ended the week higher by 2,5%. This week Filecoin had a much stronger weekly increase in coins on the market or 1,2%, which was significantly higher from average of 0,3% w/w. DOGE, Solana and Algorand had a weekly increase of circulating coins of 0,1%. Crypto futures market Crypto futures were also traded in a relaxed mode during the previous week. BTC futures were traded higher by around 1,2% for all maturities. BTC futures maturing as of the end of this year reached the last price at $88.895, while those maturing in December 2026 were last traded at $94.205. ETH short term futures price levels were increased by around 1,3% on a weekly basis, while the longer ones were traded higher by 0,9%. ETH futures maturing in December 2025 closed the week at the level of $1.667, and those maturing a year later were last traded at $1.796.

Solana vs Ethereum – A Meme War or Market Shift?🔥⚔️ Solana vs Ethereum – A Meme War or Market Shift? 🧠📉 It’s getting spicy out here in the crypto arena... and the memes are hitting just as hard as the market caps! 💥 Over the weekend, Solana briefly flipped Ethereum in total staking value — triggering a fiery debate on whether that’s bullish or bearish for SOL. Some celebrated the milestone 🥂, while others, especially from the ETH camp, argued it reveals a deeper problem: Solana’s staking isn't really staking (as slashing isn’t automatic, and network restarts are still a thing). 🛑🔧 📸 Bonus Meme: Apparently Ethereum’s new logo is now Internet Explorer 😂 — can’t say the UX didn’t earn it. 🧠 The FXProfessor’s Technical Take: Let’s cut through the noise. 📉 SOLETH (Solana vs Ethereum Ratio) Rejected at grand resistance: 0.088 Projected drop: -28% to 0.063 Structure: Bearish inside an ascending channel (highlighted in orange) 📊 ETHUSD Support: $1,530 Rebound potential: $1,650 and beyond Long-term structure still forming — this could be a spring. 📈 SOLUSD Key support: $114 If that breaks higher, next test is $179, then $215 But failure at this level opens room for downside re-test near $80 💬 So where do we stand? On chart structure alone, Solana might still outperform ETH short-term — but technically, SOLETH suggests a correction is due. 🧑‍🏫 Yes, I’m emotionally attached to Ethereum — I have build on it, invested in it, got smashed on it for months..pain, at least for now. But I trade what I see (or at least i try damn it!) Let the memes roll, but let the charts speak. Drop your thoughts — SOL or ETH? 👇 One Love, The FXPROFESSOR 💙

Coca-Cola Company (KO) Shares Trade Near All-Time HighCoca-Cola Company (KO) Shares Trade Near All-Time High Stock market charts indicate that from the start of last week’s trading through to its close: → The S&P 500 Index (US SPX 500 mini on FXOpen) declined by approximately 3%; → Pepsico (PEP) shares dropped by more than 1%; → Coca-Cola Company (KO) shares rose by around 2.4%. Why Aren’t Coca-Cola Shares Falling? The relatively strong performance of Coca-Cola (KO) shares compared to the broader market and its main competitor may be attributed to the fact that Coca-Cola operates a concentrate production facility in Atlanta, USA. In contrast, Pepsico’s equivalent production is based in Ireland. This gives Coca-Cola a potential advantage under the tariff policies pursued by the Trump administration. Incidentally, according to media reports, Diet Coke is the favourite drink of the US President. Technical Analysis of KO Stock Chart In 2025, KO stock has been forming an upward channel, though the current price is approaching key resistance levels: → the upper boundary of this ascending channel; → the $73 level, above which several successive all-time highs have been formed. However, price action suggests that bulls have so far struggled to establish a foothold above this mark. It is possible that the upcoming quarterly earnings report, scheduled for 29 April, could provide a positive catalyst for KO’s share price.

Big Tech Lines Up for Earnings Season: What Traders Should KnowPeak earnings season is right around the corner — the next two weeks are for the geeks with tech giants slated to report their quarterly financials all the while traders and investors weigh concerns over tariffs, trade wars, and export controls. On tap to offload first-quarter earnings updates this week are Tesla NASDAQ:TSLA (Tuesday) and Google parent Alphabet NASDAQ:GOOGL (Thursday). We’ll get more of the tech elite next week — Meta NASDAQ:META and Microsoft NASDAQ:MSFT deliver next Wednesday and Amazon NASDAQ:AMZN and Apple NASDAQ:AAPL report Thursday. Nvidia NASDAQ:NVDA reports late in May. Let’s talk about that. Welcome to earnings season, aka that rush hour of the quarter when traders hit refresh on the earnings calendar , their watchlists, and cortisol levels. Once again, it's Big Tech in the spotlight — specifically the Magnificent Seven club, a pack of tech heavy hitters who spent the past year building the future of artificial intelligence only to be the first out the door this year when investors dumped risk in the face of looming global uncertainty. Now, with Tesla and Alphabet kicking off what could be a market-moving series of updates, the real question isn’t just who beat the numbers — but who can still tell a good story in the face of tariffs, competition, and AI-fueled capex that’s starting to look like Monopoly money. 👜 The Setup: Seven Stocks, Seven Bags to Hold The Magnificent Seven — Tesla, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, Alphabet, and Nvidia — aren’t just the tech elite. They’ve been the main engine of the market for the last few years. But in 2025, the wheels have come off. These technology mainstays, towering over the growth sector, have shed hundreds of billions and are now nursing double-digit percentage losses. Each. One. Of. Them. The growth space, valued more on prospects of bright performance rather than current showing, has been hit hard this year. How hard? That hard: Tesla NASDAQ:TSLA is down 36% Nvidia NASDAQ:NVDA is down 27% Amazon NASDAQ:AMZN is down 21% Alphabet NASDAQ:GOOGL is down 20% Apple NASDAQ:AAPL is down 19% Meta NASDAQ:META is down 16% Microsoft NASDAQ:MSFT is down 12% On the outside, we all know what’s dragging stocks — it’s the widespread tariff jitters fanning recession fears and triggering waves of capital outflows. But on the inside, these tech giants are deep into a spending spree, and paring back that guidance might be too late. AI spending is now at fever pitch, having gone from “impressive” to “uh… should we be concerned?” And that’s what investors will be watching when these masters of technology report quarterly numbers. Besides the usual revenue figures, earnings per share and (likely timid) guidance, capital expenditures will draw a ton of attention. Capital expenditures, or capex, is the amount of money a company allocates for investments in new stuff like hardware and software and that may include beefing up existing infrastructure. Injecting AI into systems and operations is top focus right now and Big Tech has decided to be generous and pony up some big money for it. Here’s what this year’s capex looks like, as per prior guidance: Microsoft has allocated $80 billion Alphabet has set aside $75 billion Amazon? $100 billion ready to roll Zuck’s Meta is in with up to $65 billion The rest of the Mag 7 haven’t put out official capex projections but no one is sleeping on the opportunity. Let’s go around the room and see what each of these is dealing with right now. 🚗 Tesla: A Look Under the Hood Tesla reports first, and traders are bracing for either redemption — or another reason to panic sell. On the surface, it’s not pretty: EV demand is sagging, especially in China and Europe. Musk’s political disruption and proximity to Trump aren’t helping the optics. And with shares already down 36% this year, the company enters this earnings call with bruises and baggage. Revenue is expected to come in at $21.2 billion, down 1%, while earnings are projected to drop 8% to $0.42. Tesla delivered 336,681 cars in Q4 , a 14% drop from the same time a year ago. 🌎 Alphabet: Quiet Strength, But Still on Watch Alphabet is expected to deliver solid results — $89.2 billion in revenue, up 11%, and $2.01 in earnings per share, up 6.3% from last year. Among the Mag 7, it’s one of the best-positioned players to weather trade volatility, thanks to its size, diverse revenue streams, and sheer dominance in advertising and cloud computing. Its Gemini AI model is heating up the race against ChatGPT and Copilot, and its cloud division is quietly chipping away at AWS and Azure’s lead. That said, traders will still be watching for any signs of slowdown in digital ad spending—a canary in the coal mine if the economy starts to sputter under tariffs and tightening global conditions. 💻 Amazon and Apple: The Slow Burners Amazon, with its big-ticket spending on AI, is playing the long game — mostly through AWS, the company’s main driver of profitability. It's aggressive, even by Big Tech standards. The problem? AWS margins are under pressure, and retail is facing the squeeze from cautious consumers. Amazon needs to prove it can turn AI into revenue, not just headlines. Amazon’s sales and earnings per share are projected to grow 8.16% and 38.7% respectively. Apple, meanwhile, is in the risky position of relying a bit too much on China for its products — it ships about 90% of its iPhone from Asia’s biggest economy. And while that may be irrelevant for first-quarter results, it may weigh on the company’s outlook, considering Trump’s flip-flopping on Chinese tariffs (is tech in or is tech out?) . The iPhone maker is expected to report $93.9 billion in revenue and $1.61 in earnings per share. 🔍 Meta and Microsoft: AI Darlings With Something to Prove Meta reports next Wednesday, and the pressure’s on. Zuck has gone full steam into AI, pushing for everything from AI chatbots in WhatsApp to personalized content generation across Facebook and Instagram. But here’s the kicker: Meta still makes its money from ads. And if ad budgets start shrinking in response to tariffs or a slower economy, AI investments may not save the day — at least not right away. Meta is expected to pull in $41.3 billion in revenue and $5.24 in earnings per share. Microsoft, on the other hand, has positioned itself as the white-collar AI whisperer. Copilot is everywhere — Office, Teams, Edge, Windows — and its $80 billion in AI infrastructure spending is squarely aimed at enterprise dominance. It still holds a 49% stake in OpenAI, and Azure is growing, albeit slower than expected. If Microsoft can show AI adoption translating into real revenue, traders may get the breakout they’ve been waiting for. Microsoft is expected to pick up revenue of $68.5 billion and $3.23 in earnings per share. 🤖 Nvidia: The Final Boss Nvidia won’t report until late May, but it’s already looming over the entire earnings season. Every other tech company is spending billions on Nvidia’s chips — so when the chipmaker finally updates investors, it could swing sentiment across the entire sector. The market wants to see that demand is real and growing, especially from hyperscalers like Microsoft, Amazon, and Google. If Nvidia disappoints, the fallout might be like watching a domino go down. Nvidia is expected to bring home $43.1 billion in revenue and $0.90 in earnings per share. ⚙️ Final Thoughts: Big Bets, Big Risks This isn’t just another earnings season — it’s a stress test for the Magnificent Seven amid times of big market shifts. The group that once carried the market now faces a reality check: AI is expensive, global trade is messy, and Wall Street is no longer giving out free passes for “vision.” But where there’s risk, there’s also opportunity. Traders who can sift through the noise, spot the change in tone, and ride the next narrative — whether it’s autonomous Teslas, AI-powered spreadsheets, or ad-supported Metaverse avatars — will have the edge. What’s your take? Which Big Tech name are you watching most closely — and are you betting on a rebound or bracing for more pain? Let’s hear it from you.

BTC, THE ONLY ONE THAT WORTH LONGING !Introduction Crypto Didn’t Make It — Just Admit It Long positions in crypto are usually pointless and super risky, because crypto simply didn’t make it . Think of it like the dot-com era—when every company with a website was booming… until they all turned to dust .So there won’t be another altseason. Crypto had its own version of that in 2021 . Unfortunately, it didn’t deliver anything meaningful to the world. Just sh!tcoin after sh!tcoin. And let’s be clear: I’m talking about everything except Bitcoin . The rest? Still pointless. Still super risky. At least until blockchain tech becomes much faster , more advanced, and actually gets used in real, profitable projects that benefit stakeholders — not just hype and tokenomics. Who am I to say that? Just a trader since 2017 and a blockchain developer (not your average “Web3 dev” who just learned how to deploy a token). BTC looks primed for a long. Weekly EMA 55 (orange line) is the key — price above it = bullish, below = bearish. Simple as that. Right now, BTC is holding strong above it and looks ready to move. (And yeah, crypto doesn’t care about world news — remember that.) Entry: ~76,500 Stop Loss: 69,217 Targets: TP1: 87,196 TP2: 93,985 TP3: 101,900 TP4: 115,534

2025 – The Year of the Normalized Dollar (Part Two)📉💵 2025 – The Year of the Normalized Dollar: Part Two 🔄🔥 Part 1: As we kick off the week on April 21st, we find gold hitting historic highs of $3,400 while the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) continues to slide — down 1.42% and firmly below the psychological 100 level. 📉 The breakdown at 99.3 confirms what we mapped out months ago. Back in February, I highlighted the rejection at the 107.5 level and predicted that 2025 would mark The Year of the Normalized Dollar. That vision is unfolding exactly as drawn. 🔍 Technical Breakdown Recap Rejection Zone: 107.5 Mid Support Breached: 100.95 Breakdown Level: 99.3 Next Target Range: 94.6–93.7 🧭 The visuals attached here are not new drawings — this is the same framework from my February 25th analysis, and it's playing out beautifully. 📊 The DXY is on a structural path toward normalization, aligning with macro policy shifts. 🗣️ Policy Catalyst The dollar’s weakness isn’t just technical — it’s political and economic. Trump’s continued pressure on the Fed to slash interest rates, combined with tariff talk and geopolitical realignment, is creating a push toward a weaker but more "normalized" dollar. From the Executive Order remarks on Jan 23, 2025: “I'd like to see interest rates come down a lot. When oil comes down, prices come down — and then no inflation.” These aren't just words — they're shaping market expectations and price action. 💬 Is this the soft landing the Fed is hoping for? Or the beginning of something bigger for DXY bears? Drop your thoughts below and let’s keep the conversation rolling. 🎯 Charts attached for reference. 📢 Follow for more macro breakdowns & chart-focused insights. One Love, The FXPROFESSOR 💙
