🔍 Technical Analysis Breakdown
1. Long-Term Descending Channel
1INCH has broken out of its long-term descending channel and is currently retesting the channel boundary. This pullback is a positive sign for a potential bullish continuation, but further confirmation is needed.
2. Daily Support Zone (Red)
The $0.3377 - $0.3757 range is identified as a key daily support level.
If the price stabilizes within this zone and starts to rise, it could confirm the pullback and signal the beginning of an upward move toward higher resistance levels.
3. Weekly Resistance Zone (Green)
The $0.6276 - $0.7049 range represents a significant resistance in the weekly timeframe.
A breakout above this zone, accompanied by increased trading volume, could lead to a rally toward the blue target zone ($1.1819 - $1.450).
4. Support in Case of a Drop
If the red support zone fails to hold:
The price might re-enter the descending channel and move toward the weekly support zone ($0.2101 - $0.2338), marked in gray.
📌 Suggested Entry Points
1. Breakout-Based Entry:
Condition: Price breaks above the green resistance zone with increased trading volume and stabilizes above this range.
2. Pullback-Based Entry:
Red Zone ($0.3377 - $0.3757): Enter with a stop-loss below the red support zone.
Gray Zone ($0.2101 - $0.2338): Enter with a stop-loss below the gray support zone.
Note: The gray zone offers a higher risk-to-reward ratio but comes with greater risk.
📈 Entry Triggers and Confirmation Signals
RSI Support:
Price holding above the midline on higher timeframe RSI charts can confirm the start of an uptrend.
Increased Trading Volume:
Breakouts of key zones must be validated by significant volume increases.
Low-volume breakouts could indicate false signals (fakeouts).
⚠️ Key Risk Management Tips
Volume Monitoring:
Ensure volume spikes during breakouts to avoid falling for fakeouts.
Capital Management:
Given the sensitivity of this analysis, strictly adhere to proper capital management strategies and set stop-loss orders at the identified levels.
Patience and Confirmation:
Avoid impulsive entries. Wait for clear confirmation signals before committing to a trade.
✨ Final Conclusion
1INCH is at a critical juncture from a technical perspective:
The breakout from the descending channel and the pullback to the support zone indicate a positive setup for a bullish continuation.
Close monitoring of price behavior in the key zones (red and green) is essential, with confirmations such as rising trading volume and RSI support being mandatory for entry.
A successful breakout of the weekly resistance (green) could lead to targets in the blue zone ($1.1819 - $1.450).
However, if the red support zone fails to hold, a decline toward the gray support zone becomes a strong possibility.
Inflation
UK GDP less than expected, pound edges lowerThe British pound has edged lower on Thursday. In the European session, GBP/USD is currently trading at 1.2205, down 0.22%.
The UK economy climbed out of negative growth for the first time in three months but not by much. After GDP contracted by 0.1% in September and October, November saw a small gain of 0.1%, missing the market estimate of 0.2%. In the three months to November, GDP showed no growth.
The small uptick in growth in November was welcome news for the government but the economic outlook is not very bright. The recent "tax and spend" budget will see tax increases take effect in April, including a rise in employer National Insurance contributions. This will hurt the business sector and many firms will cut back on spending and investment, which in turn will dampen economic growth. Inflation remains high and combined with low growth, stagflation is a real danger.
Another headache for the government is Donald Trump, who has promised to slap tariffs on US trading partners. The UK is heavily reliant on its export sector and a trade war with the US would be devastating for the fragile UK economy. As well, Trump's protectionist trade polices could lead to higher inflation which could derail much of the progress made to contain inflation. This week's soft UK inflation and GDP reports have raised expectations that the Bank of England will lower interest rates at the next meeting on Feb. 6.
In the US, December's inflation release presented a mixed picture, as headline CPI rose for a third straight month, while core CPI eased slightly. Expectations for a rate cut rose in the aftermath of the inflation report, sending the US dollar lower against many of the majors.
GBP/USD tested resistance at 1.2242 earlier. Above, there is resistance at 1.2310

$USIRYYY -U.S Inflation Rate (December/2024)ECONOMICS:USIRYY
December/2024
source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
-The annual inflation rate in the US accelerated for the third consecutive month to 2.9% in December, as expected.
On a monthly basis, the CPI rose by 0.4%, exceeding expectations of 0.3%.
However, annual core inflation slightly decreased to 3.2% from 3.3%, below the anticipated 3.3%. The monthly core rate also eased to 0.2% from 0.3%, in line with expectations.
$GBIRYY -U.K Inflation Rate (December/2024)ECONOMICS:GBIRYY
December/2024
source: Office for National Statistics
-Annual inflation rate in the UK unexpectedly edged lower to 2.5% in December 2024 from 2.6% in November, below forecasts of 2.6%. However, it matched the BoE's forecast from early November.
Prices slowed for restaurants and hotels (3.4%, the lowest since July 2021 vs 4%), mainly due to a 1.9% fall in prices of hotels.
Inflation also slowed for recreation and communication (3.4% vs 3.6%) and services (4.4%, the lowest since March 2022 vs 5) and steadied for food and non-alcoholic beverages (at 2%). Meanwhile, prices decreased less for transport (-0.6% vs -0.9%) as upward effects from motor fuels and second-hand cars (1%) partially offset a downward effect from air fare (-26%).
Also, prices rose slightly more for housing and utilities (3.1% vs 3%). Compared to November, the CPI rose 0.3%, above 0.1% in the previous period but below forecasts of 0.4%.
The annual core inflation rate also declined to 3.2% from 3.5% and the monthly rate went up to 0.3%, below forecasts of 0.5%.
Aussie rises after US core CPI declines to 3.2%The Australian dollar is higher for a third consecutive trading day. In the North American session, AUD/USD is trading at 0.6233, up 0.63% at the time of writing.
The US inflation report for December was a mixed bag, as headline CPI rose while the core rate declined. Headline CPI rose to 2.9% y/y from 2.7% in November, matching the market estimate. Monthly, headline CPI rose to 0.4%, up from 0.3% and above the market estimate of 0.3%.
The more important story was the decline in core CPI, which excludes food and energy and is more closely watched by the Federal Reserve than the headline data. Core CPI eased to 3.2% y/y in December, down from 3.3% over the past three months and below the market estimate of 3.3%. Monthly, core CPI ticked lower to 0.2% in December, down from 0.3% a month earlier and in line with the market estimate.
The decline in core CPI was small but still significant, as the core rate showed downward movement after remaining unchanged for three months. Investors responded by raising the probability of a quarter-point cut in March at 29%, up from 19% prior to the inflation release, according to CME's FedWatch. The Fed meets at the end of the month and is virtually certain to hold rates.
Australia releases the December employment report early on Thursday. Australia's labor market remains solid, although the economy as a whole is struggling. Job growth increased by a strong 35.6 thousand in November, beating expectations. Will the positive trend continue? The market estimate for December stands at 15 thousand, which would mark a nine-month low. The unemployment rate has been low and fell to an eight-month low in November at 3.9%. It is expected to creep up to 4.0% in December.
The Reserve Bank of Australia meets on Feb. 18 and the strength of the labor market is a key consideration in the central bank's decision-making. As long as the labor market remains solid and does not deteriorate quickly, the RBA can afford to hold off on a rate cut. If, however, the employment report is softer than expected, it would put pressure on the RBA to lower rates at next month's meeting.

Market Analisys: S&P 500SP:SPX
In recent months, the S&P 500 has experienced notable fluctuations:
1. All-Time High : The index reached a record high of 6,099.97 points on December 6, 2024.
2. Correction : It then faced a correction, dropping to a low of 5,805.65 points by January 8, 2025.
3. Current Performance : As of January 14, 2025, the index closed at 5,842.91 points, reflecting a slight 0.11% increase compared to the previous day.
4. Technical Outlook : Analysts highlight potential weakness, with the next support level identified at 5,771.5 points.
In summary, the SP:SPX has exhibited volatility, peaking in December 2024 and entering a correction phase in early 2025.
Let's analyze in detail the various phases that have led us to this point – starting from October 27, 2023, the last moment with a significant downturn.
Since then, we’ve seen an increase of about 50%, with a maximum drawdown of 10%. This represents a more than positive performance. Prior to this, we experienced a brief decline lasting around 90 days, with a drop of approximately 11%.
Subsequent rallies have generally been strong, although they have been shorter and more contained. In total, we’ve experienced 5 rallies and 5 pullbacks. Currently, we are in a downtrend.
As mentioned earlier, except for the first rally, the most significant one, recent bull runs have been consistently interrupted by unwelcome news, data that does not meet investor expectations, and announcements from the FED and ECB indicating that interest rate cuts will be smaller than anticipated. All of this has brought us to the current situation.
We are now facing a maximum decline of about 5-6%, with a bounce on the trendline that has been guiding us since October 2023. This is all happening as inflation data is released today. The market seems to have entered a phase where it seeks further confirmations from the economy, and the technical chart is showing exactly that. Additionally, we have several other key economic data releases scheduled for this week.
What do you think the market’s next move will be?
BOJ to discuss rate hike, yen dips lowerThe yen remains calm and is lower on Tuesday. In the North American session, USD/JPY is trading at 157.98, up 0.34% on the day.
There are no tier-1 events out of Japan this week and the yen is having a relatively quiet week. That could change with the release of US inflation on Wednesday. Headline CPI is expected to rise to 2.9% y/y in December from 2.7% in November, while core CPI is expected to remain at 3.3% y/y for a third straight month. Inflation reports have had significant impact on rate expectations but the December inflation rate might not be all that significant, as expectations of a rate cut have fallen in recent weeks.
Since the December meeting, the Fed has tried to dampen rate-cut expectations and the market is not expecting a rate cut in the first quarter of 2025. The money markets have currently priced in a quarter-point cut at the Jan. 29 meeting at below 3% and at the March meeting at around 20%. With inflation largely under control and a solid labor market, there is little reason for the Fed to cut rates in the near term.
The Bank of Japan tends not to telegraph its rate plans, leaving investors in the dark and on the hunt for clues about the central bank's rate plans. The uncertainty adds to the drama ahead of BoJ meetings and means that each meeting should be treated as a market-mover.
BoJ's Deputy Governor Ryozo Himino said on Tuesday that the BoJ would discuss a rate hike at the Jan. 24 meeting. Himino didn't say what decision he expected the BoJ to make but reiterated Governor's Ueda recent comments that wage growth was solid and that there was a lot of uncertainty surrounding Donald Trump's trade policies.

AUD/USD steady as consumer sentiment slips lowerThe Australian dollar is showing little movement on Tuesday. In the European session, AUD/USD is trading at 0.6174, down 0.06% at the time of writing.
The Australian consumer remains pessimistic about the economic outlook. The Westpac consumer sentiment index fell 0.7% in January from -2% in December 2024. This brought the index down to 92.1 in January, down from 92.8 a month earlier.
The Westpac report found that confidence over employment has been falling and interestingly, a majority of consumers expect interest rates to move higher, despite signals that the Reserve Bank of Australia's first rate move will be a cut rather than a hike. The RBA hasn't moved on rates in over a year and the current cash rate of 4.25% continues to squeeze businesses and consumers. Australia releases third-quarter inflation on Jan. 29 and the central bank will be watching. That inflation reading could result in a historic rate cut if inflation is lower than expected.
We'll get a look at the US Producer Price Index later today, with mixed numbers expected. PPI is projected to jump from 3.0% to 3.4% y/y while decreasing monthly from 0.4% to 0.3%. Core PPI and is expected to jump to 3.8% y/y from 3.4% and from 0.2% to 03% m/m. If the PPI report indicates an acceleration as is expected, the money markets will likely lower their expectations for a rate cut.
Currently, the money markets have priced in a quarter-point cut at the Jan. 29 meeting at below 3% and at the March meeting at around 20%. Federal Reserve members are sounding hawkish and have signaled that the market shouldn't expect a rate cut anytime soon.

USD/CAD in holding pattern ahead of US, Cdn. jobs dataThe Canadian dollar started the week with strong gains but has shown little movement since then. In the European session, USD/CAD is trading at 1.4411, up 0.12% at the time of writing. We could see stronger movement from the Canadian dollar in the North American session, with the release of Canadian and US employment reports.
Canada's economy may not be in great shape but the labor market remains strong. The economy added an impressive 50.5 thousand jobs in November and is expected to add another 24.9 thousand in December. Still, the unemployment rate has been steadily increasing and is expected to tick up to 6.9% in December from 6.8% a month earlier. A year ago, the unemployment rate stood at 5.8%. This disconnect between increased employment and a rising unemployment rate is due to a rapidly growing labor market which has been boosted by high immigration levels.
Another sign that the labor market is in solid shape is strong wage growth. Average hourly wages have exceeded inflation and this complicates the picture for the Bank of Canada as it charts its rate path for early 2025. The BoC has been aggressive, delivering back-to-back half point interest rate cuts in October and December 2024. Inflation is largely under control as headline CPI dipped to 1.9% in November from 2% in October. However, core inflation is trending around 2.6%, well above the BoC's target of 2%. The central bank is likely to take a more gradual path in its easing, which likely means that upcoming rate cuts will be in increments of 25 basis points. The BoC meets next on Jan. 29.
In the US, all eyes are on today's nonfarm payrolls report. The market estimate stands at 160 thousand for December, compared to 227 thousand in November. The US labor market has been cooling slowly and the Federal Reserve would like that trend to continue as it charts its rate cut path for the coming months. An unexpected reading could have a strong impact on the direction of the US dollar in today's North American session.
USD/CAD is testing resistance at 1.4411. Above, there is resistance at 1.4427
1.4388 and 1.4372 are the next support levels
Sterling sliding, Fed worried about TrumpThe British pound is on a nasty slide and has lost 1.8% since Monday. In the European session, GBP/USD is currently trading at 1.2294, down 0.53%. Earlier, the pound fell as low as 1.2237 (1%), it lowest level since Nov. 2023.
The latest setback for the pound was Thursday's British Retail Consortium (BRC) Shop Price index, which came in at -1% in December, lower than the November reading of -0.4% and the market estimate of -0.6%. This was the lowest level since July 2021. This points to weaker consumer spending, a key engine of the economy.
The BRC has projected that food inflation will continue to accelerate, which will add to the squeeze that weary consumers are feeling from inflation and high interest rates. The UK government introduced a "tax and spend" budget last October but retailers have argued that this recipe will lead to retail job cuts and higher prices.
The Federal Reserve minutes of the December meeting, released on Wednesday, indicated that policy makers were concerned about the upside risk to inflation, particularly due to incoming President-elect Trump's potential trade and immigration policies. Trump has promised to slap punishing tariffs on US trade partners, including China. Trump has also called for mass deportations of illegal immigrants.
The minutes did not mention Trump by name but there was no doubt that Fed members had Trump in mind. Members noted their concern that inflation could rise due to "the likely effects of potential changes in trade and immigration policy".
Members also indicated that the Fed was "at or near the point" of slowing the pace of easing. After starting the easing cycle with a jumbo rate cut of 50 basis points, the Fed has delivered back-to-back cuts of 25 basis points. At the December meeting, the Fed lowered its rate forecast for 2025 to two cuts, down from four in the September forecast.
After the December meeting, the currency markets reacted sharply to the revised forecast and the US dollar shot up against the majors. The Fed again sounded hawkish in the minutes but this time the US dollar showed little movement against the majors, with the exception of GBP/USD.

Australian dollar falls as core CPI dips lowerThe Australian dollar is lower for a second straight trading day. In the North American session, AUD/USD is trading at 0.6214, down 0.27% at the time of writing. The Australian dollar dropped as low as 0.60% but has pared much of those losses.
Australia's inflation report was a mixed bag in November. Headline inflation rose 2.3% y/y, up from 2.1% in the previous two months and above the market estimate of 2.2%. This marked the highest level since August and was partially driven by a lower electricity rebate for most households.
At the same time, the trimmed mean inflation, the Reserve Bank of Australia's preferred core inflation gauge, fell from 3.5% to 3.2% in November. This reading is close to the upper limit of the RBA's target band of 2%-3% and supports the case for the RBA to join the other major central banks in lowering rates.
The RBA has maintained the cash rate at 4.35% at nine consecutive meetings but is this prolonged pause about to end? In the aftermath of today's inflation report, the money markets have priced in a quarter-point hike in February at over 70%. Australia releases the quarterly inflation report for the fourth quarter on Jan. 29 and if inflation is lower than expected, expectations of a rate cut will likely increase.
The US economy has been solid and this week's services and employment indicators headed higher. The ISM Services PMI rose to 54.1 in December, up from 52.1 and above the market estimate of 53.3. JOLT Job Openings jumped to 8.09 million in November and 7.8 million in October. The market is looking ahead to Friday's nonfarm payrolls, which is expected to drop to 154 thousand, compared to 227 thousand in November.

Swiss inflation declines, Swiss franc steadyThe Swiss franc is higher for a third straight trading day. In the European session, USD/CHF is currently trading at 0.9038, down 0.09% on the day.
Switzerland's inflation rate continues to fall and that is raising concerns at the Swiss National Bank. Other central banks are worried about the upside risk of inflation but the SNB is worried about inflation dropping below its target band of between 0% and 2%.
December CPI came in at -0.1% m/m for a third straight month, in line with the market estimate. Annually, CPI ticked lower to 0.6% from 0.7% in November, also matching the market estimate. Food and services prices decelerated, while housing and energy inflation rose to 3.4%, up from 3.3% in November.
The SNB only meets four times a year and the next meeting isn't until Mar. 30. Still, the soft December CPI report has cemented a rate cut in March, with the markets currently pricing in a 25-basis point cut at 98%. Could we see a larger cut in March? The answer is yes, if inflation continues to decelerate.
The SNB slashed rates by 50 basis points in December and the 0.1% decline in inflation in November likely was an important factor in the oversized rate cut, which was the largest in 10 years. There are two more inflation reports ahead of the March rate meeting and the SNB could respond with another 50-bp cut if inflation is close to the bottom of the 0%-2% target range.
The US releases ISM Services PMI for December, the key services indicator, later today. Over the past two years, the PMI has pointed to expansion in every month but two, pointing to prolonged growth in business activity. The PMI is expected to improve to 53.0, following 52.1 in November.

Euro surges close to 1%, German CPI loomsThe euro has started the week with sharp gains. In the European session, EUR/USD is currently trading at 1.0403, up 0.91% on the day.
Germany's economy may not be in great shape. but inflation has been moving higher and the trend is expected to continue when December CPI is released later today. Inflation rose from 2% to 2.2% in November, its highest level in four months, and is expected to hit 2.4% in December. Service inflation is at 4% and core CPI at 3%, which indicates the battle to contain inflation isn't over.
Once the locomotive of Europe, Germany's economy has faltered badly and has slowed the eurozone's recovery. Germany's once mighty auto industry has been hurt by weaker Chinese demand due to the slowdown in the the world's second-largest economy. As well, China has gained a larger share of the global automotive market, at the expense of German auto exports. Unsurprisingly, Germany's manufacturing sector is stuck in contraction territory.
Germany's services sector moved back into expansion mode in December, as the Services PMI rose to a revised 51.3, up from 49.3 in November. The eurozone Services PMI improved to a revised 51.6, up from 49.5 in November. Spain continues to impress with its economic data, as the Services PMI climbed to 57.3, up from 53.1 in November. This marked a sixteenth straight month of expansion and was the highest level of growth since April 2023.
The US releases Final Services PMI later today. The market estimate for December stands at 58.5, compared to 56.1 in November. This points to strong business activity, which has been the linchpin of the US economy.
EUR/USD has pushed above resistance at 1.0331. Above, there is resistance at 1.0436 and 1.0564
There is support at 1.0203 and 1.0098

NASDAQ:QQQ
Monthly Chart analysis:
-H5 Indicator is GREEN
-We are above 9ema and smoothing avg.
Most importantly we are still within our Williams Consolidation Box which is my personal strategy I use with the Wr%. As long as we stay within the confines of this Box we will continue to climb higher on the Q's outside of pullbacks.
Weekly Chart Analysis:
-H5 Indicator is GREEN
-Held volume shelf
-Wicked back above 9ema (BULLISH)
-Ascending triangle patterns Measured Move has not been realized yet. $580
-Created a Hammer Candle which is a reversal candle found at the bottom of downtrends, pullback, or corrections.
Had a Normal 6% Pullback and bounced hard around the S/R Zone. Everything I'm seeing is BULLISH going into CES2025 week and I believe we continue back to ATH's!
TVC:VIX
First up we have the Volatility AMEX:SPY Index which spiked up due to the FED dropping a FUD Nuke on the markets heading and causing the largest one day volatility spike in 2024.
But, as you see below we have fallen in line since that day. We have created a bearish flag pattern and broken down through the base and should continue to flush lower.
Keep in mind 60-70% of breakouts (either direction) come back to retest the point of the breakout area. Could see this happen with FOMC minutes being released this Wednesday.
AMEX:SPY
Monthly Chart analysis:
-H5 Indicator is GREEN
-We are above 9ema and smoothing avg.
-Wicked off previous resistance flipped into support
Most importantly we are still within our Williams Consolidation Box and thriving! $650 2025 PT!
Weekly Chart Analysis:
-H5 Indicator is GREEN
-Wicked back above smoothing line
-Created a Hammer Candle right above 9ema
Had a Normal 4.35% Pullback and bounced hard around the S/R Zone. Everything I'm seeing is BULLISH going into CES2025 week and I believe we continue back to ATH's on the SPY!
AMEX:IWM
As I've stated in other posts the CAPITALCOM:RTY typically runs and plays catchup to the SPY and QQQ towards the end of bull runs and before the big corrections or crash comes.
Weekly Chart Analysis:
-At the bottom of an uptrend channel
-Sitting on a massive volume shelf
-At a massive S/R area
-At the retest point for the Multi-Year CupnHandle breakout! With a Measured Move up to $306. Thats the same measurement of the CAPITALCOM:RTY catching back up to the $SPY.
ECONOMICS:USCIR - Core Inflation Rate YoY
Inflation is dead and falling like a rock! I don't hold any weight into what the FED was saying about inflation when he was the Grinch and spreading FUD.
The FED is always to slow to do what is needed to be done and right now that is to continue to cut before things in the economy start to break due to higher rates. They raised rates to SLOW and they are choosing to cut rates to SLOW!
What I'm seeing is we will continue to fall with small pockets of bounce backs in inflation on the overall down trend to sub 3 then sub 2 as you can see on the chart with the yellow levels.
Overall Economic numbers are very positive and have been beating what the experts have been forecasting in December.
We have some more data coming out this week and we will see if that trend continues.
Like I said in a separate post, the FED has been talking about a boogeyman and spreading FUD but the DATA and NUMBERS show the BOOGEYMAN isn't REAL!

NEAR Protocol NEAR
Comprehensive Analysis of NEAR Protocol (NEAR/USDT) ✨⚡
Introduction NEAR Protocol is an innovative blockchain project that has gained a prominent place in the cryptocurrency market by focusing on scalability, high efficiency, and cost reduction. Today's analysis examines the technical trend of NEAR in the weekly timeframe and identifies the best entry and exit points. ✨⚔️
1. Technical Analysis
1.1 Key Support and Resistance Levels
Support:
NEAR is currently at a key support level around the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement (4.832 – 4.993 USD), making it an important entry point. ✨
If this support is lost, the price may drop to the bottom of the range box (3.099 – 3.580 USD).
Resistance:
The first significant resistance is the yellow zone (5.369 – 5.731 USD), which poses a barrier to further price ascent. A breakout of this resistance on the daily timeframe could confirm a step-by-step entry strategy.
The primary resistance is at the red zone (7.380 – 8.430 USD), overlapping with the top of the range box. A breakout above this level could trigger a bullish wave toward Fibonacci targets.
1.2 Bullish Targets (Targets)
First target: Fibonacci 1.618 (11.921 – 13.771 USD) 🌟
Second target: Fibonacci 2.272 (20.273 – 23.379 USD) 🌈
1.3 Bearish Scenario
If the key support levels are lost, the price could fall to the second gray support zone (1.715 – 1.940 USD). ⚠
2. Indicators and Momentum
2.1 RSI Indicator
The RSI is currently in the supportive range (45.63 – 49.42), indicating increasing momentum. If RSI enters the overbought zone (76.83 – 79.85), it could signal the start of sharp movements toward the aforementioned targets. 🔥
2.2 Volume
Volume plays a key role in confirming resistance breakouts. If there is an increase in volume near resistance levels, the likelihood of a breakout is higher. Otherwise, the price may remain within the current range box.
3. Entry Strategy and Risk Management
3.1 Entry Strategy
Step-by-step entry:
Initial entry within the support zone (4.832 – 4.993 USD)
Add volume if the yellow resistance (5.369 – 5.731 USD) is broken
Final confirmation:
Breakout of the red resistance (7.380 – 8.430 USD) and increase volume.
3.2 Risk Management
Stop-loss:
Place the stop-loss at the bottom of the range box (3.099 USD).
Risk-to-Reward Ratio:
A minimum ratio of 1:3 for the proposed entries.
4. Future Price Movement Predictions (Scenarios)
Bullish Scenario
A breakout above the yellow resistance and stabilization above it could push the price to the top of the range (7.380 – 8.430 USD).
A move past the range top would start a bullish trend toward the Fibonacci targets (11.921 – 13.771 USD).
Bearish Scenario
Losing the 0.618 support and the bottom of the range will lead to a decline to the zone (1.715 – 1.940 USD).
5. Conclusion
NEAR is currently at a critical level that may soon lead to significant price movements. By employing a step-by-step entry strategy and proper risk management, one can take advantage of this opportunity. Continuously monitoring trading volume and price behavior near resistance and support levels is key to success in this market. ✨

Frax Share (FXS)FXS Analysis 📈🔥
Introduction
FXS (Frax Share) is one of the key cryptocurrencies in the DeFi space, offering a cohesive ecosystem with innovative decentralized finance (DeFi) mechanisms and a robust tokenomics structure. It has secured a prominent place among similar projects. Currently, FXS is trading within a descending channel and is approaching a significant PRZ zone (green zone). If this zone is broken, we could expect a strong upward movement. Let’s dive deeper into the technical analysis of FXS’s price action 🚀📊.
Technical Analysis (TA)
Key Supports:
FXS is currently within a descending channel, nearing its upper boundary. The green zone, which includes both weekly resistance and the top of the descending channel, is a crucial PRZ (Price Reversal Zone). This zone is significant due to the confluence of several key technical levels, such as weekly resistance and the channel's upper boundary.
If the price breaks through this zone 💥, we could see strong buying pressure enter the market, triggering a notable upward move. However, if the price gets rejected from this zone 🚫, we may see a continuation of the bearish trend or a deeper correction. Thus, this zone represents a critical turning point for determining the price’s direction.
Key Resistances:
If the green zone is broken, the following Fibonacci target levels could be reached:
1.272: (between 10.058 and 11.770)
1.618: (between 17.252 and 20.414)
2.272: (between 38.696 and 46.175)
These levels are considered potential targets for the next upward move 🚀. It's essential to pay attention to trading volume in this zone, as an increase in volume would confirm the strength of the buying pressure and a possible breakout. A significant volume surge, especially above the average daily volume, can be indicative of the start of a larger upward trend.
Predicted Critical Scenarios:
1. If the price is rejected from the PRZ zone:
In the event of a rejection from the green zone 🚫, we could see a deeper correction toward the gray zone (between 1.541 and 1.813). If this area fails to hold, there is a risk of further correction toward the lower boundary of the descending channel ⚠️. In this scenario, it’s important to watch for reversal signals at these levels.
RSI Indicator:
The RSI is currently moving within a descending channel with a mild slope 📉. A breakout from this channel to the upside 💥 could indicate a move into the overbought (Overbuy) territory, potentially accelerating the upward movement of the price 🚀. However, if the RSI continues its downward trend, we may need to watch for lower support zones.
Investment Strategy:
Step-by-Step Entry:
The best strategy in this situation is to enter gradually 🪜. You can start entering around support zones with reasonable volume and strengthen your position once the green zone breaks. This strategy allows you to manage risk more effectively and take advantage of any price rallies.
Risk Management:
To manage risk 🛡️, it’s advisable to set your stop-loss in lower support areas such as 1.541 – 1.813. This helps mitigate potential losses in case negative scenarios unfold.
Volume Analysis:
Trading volume is a key factor for confirming breakouts or trend continuations. If we see an increase in volume within the PRZ zone 📈, the likelihood of a breakout and a subsequent upward move increases. Any unexpected volume spike should be carefully monitored.
Conclusion:
FXS is at a crucial point in its price action. Given the technical analysis and current conditions, employing a step-by-step entry strategy and managing risk can help you take full advantage of this opportunity 💡. Additionally, paying attention to the PRZ zones, volume analysis, and RSI is essential for navigating this trade. These key points can guide you in making well-informed decisions for the future 🚀.
Avalanche (AVAX)AVAX Analysis 📈🔥
Introduction
AVAX (Avalanche) is one of the most powerful and prominent cryptocurrencies, created to address scalability issues and provide fast, low-cost transactions. With its impressive progress, AVAX has carved out a special place among other altcoins. Now is the perfect time to take a closer look at AVAX's price trend and identify key entry points to capitalize on this massive move. 💥🚀
1. Technical Analysis
Key Supports:
AVAX is currently in a strong upward channel 📈. The price has bounced well from the lower trendline of the channel, which serves as a strategic support level, and continues its bullish movement. After this rise, the price entered a retracement in the 0.5 Fibonacci zone 📉. This support range (32.19 - 35.83) presents an excellent buying opportunity and could be the starting point for a powerful rally.
Key Resistances:
On the daily time frame, the red resistance zone is a significant level. Breaking through this could signal the beginning of a larger bullish trend. If AVAX breaks this resistance, the next target will be the weekly green zone, known as the PRZ (Price Reversal Zone), which includes the weekly resistance and the middle line of the upward channel. This zone acts as a safe entry trigger for investors, and its breakout could trigger a new wave of buying.
2. Price Prediction
Fibonacci Levels:
If the bullish trend continues, the price could reach the 1.272 Fibonacci level (between 73.74 - 82.67) and even the 1.618 Fibonacci level (between 108.31 - 120.16). These are long-term target levels that AVAX could potentially reach on its upward path. 🌟
RSI:
The RSI has risen well from the middle zone (49.23 - 52.83), indicating potential strength in the bullish momentum. 🔥
3. Investment Strategy
Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA):
Dollar-cost averaging is the best strategy in this market. This involves entering at key support zones like 32.19 - 35.83, and if the price rises to higher levels, gradually adding to your position with the right volume. This strategy allows you to ride the market’s movement at every stage. 💪
Proper Volume:
Never forget to monitor trading volume carefully at support and resistance levels. If market volume is insufficient, the price may easily retrace and move back towards the lower part of the channel. Therefore, entering with proper volume and conducting precise analysis is crucial for your success. 📊
4. Risk Management
Stop-Loss and Risk/Reward Ratio:
It is recommended to set your stop-loss (SL) at support levels such as 19.37 - 21.87 to prevent large losses. The risk/reward ratio should be at least 1:2, meaning the potential profit should be twice the amount of risk. 💰
Critical Scenario Prediction:
If the support at the lower part of the upward channel is broken, the price could retrace to the gray support zone (19.37 - 21.87). Always be prepared for market crises and make decisions based on them. ⚠️
5. Volume Analysis
Volume Analysis:
Trading volume is one of the most important indicators for confirming trends. If we see increased volume at support and resistance zones, it may signal the possibility of a strong price movement. Therefore, carefully monitoring volume helps confirm the validity of price movements. 🔍
Conclusion
AVAX is in a great position for growth, and with careful analysis, dollar-cost averaging, and proper risk management, investors can take full advantage of this opportunity. Pay close attention to support and resistance levels, and enter the market with suitable volume when necessary. Always stay alert to price trends and volume fluctuations to capitalize on potential profits. 💡
Japan's corporate service inflation rises, yen steadyThe Japanese yen is showing little movement on Christmas Day. Japanese markets are open but with most global markets closed for the holiday, the currency markets will be very quiet today. In the European session, USD/JPY is trading at 157.29, up 0.08% on the day.
Japanese inflation indicators have been heading higher and the upswing was repeated on Wednesday as Japan's corporate service price index (CSPI) climbed 3.0% in November. This marked a second straight month that CSPI has accelerated, after a 2.9% gain in October.
CSPI measures the price that companies charge each other for services and is a leading indicator of service-sector inflation, which is closely watched by the Bank of Japan. The rise in CSPI supports the case that wages are rising and businesses are passing higher costs to consumers. This increase in demand-driven inflation is exactly what the BoJ wants to see before raising interest rates.
The BoJ has hinted that further rate hikes are coming but hasn't provided any hints about the timing. There were some expectations of a rate hike at last week's meeting but the central bank stayed on the sidelines and Governor Ueda sounded dovish, saying that inflation was increasing "at a moderate rate" and the BoJ could take its time raising rates.
Is Ueda throwing up a smoke screen to keep speculators away when the BoJ is in fact planning a rate hike in the next month or two? Perhaps. Inflation has been trending higher and the yen is falling fast, plunging 9.5% since Oct. 1. The yen pushed past the symbolic 160 level in July and could do so again. If the BoJ is genuinely concerned with the rapid descent of the yen, it will have to consider a rate hike or take more extreme action and intervene in the currency markets to prop up the ailing yen.
There is resistance at 157.41 and 157.66
USD/JPY tested support at 157.15 and 156.90 earlier. Below, there is support at 156.64
