CME Group ($CME) Stock: Restores Trading After Major OutageCME Group brought its Globex Futures & Options platform back online after an hours-long outage that disrupted global markets across Asia and Europe. The shutdown struck during a holiday-shortened US session, creating uncertainty for traders managing month-end rolls. Globex processes nearly 90% of CME’s total volume, so the disruption rippled across commodities, rates, equity futures, and FX-linked products.
The outage stemmed from a cooling-system failure at the Aurora, Illinois data center operated by CyrusOne. The facility has long served as the main engine for CME’s electronic infrastructure. High-frequency trading firms rely heavily on proximity to the Aurora center, making the malfunction a notable stress point for global liquidity.
Treasury futures, SOFR-linked options, gold, crude oil, and palm oil markets all experienced interruptions or erratic price action. Liquidity thinned as traders shifted into cash Treasuries to manage exposure. The timing was challenging since the previous day’s Thanksgiving closure already limited activity.
Operational Risk Concerns Rise
The event revived questions about CME’s redundancy planning. The exchange has a disaster-recovery site in the New York area, yet opted to restart from Aurora because early assessments suggested a quicker resolution. The delay highlighted how a single point of failure creates broad market friction across asset classes.
Technical Outlook: Bullish Structure Holds
CME stock maintains a bullish structure. Price retested and held support around $272 after a recent breakout. Momentum targets remain at the $288 resistance zone, followed by $290 if strength persists. The setup favors continuation as long as price remains above support.
Platinum Rallied More Than Gold and Silver in 2025Platinum has rallied more than gold and silver so far in 2025.
From their trough to its recent high, platinum has gained 102%. Silver takes second place with a 95% increase, while gold comes in third with a 68% rise.
Gold has broken above their all-time highs last year, and silver has also broken is all time high this high this year, but platinum has not—does this mean platinum still has more upside potential than gold and silver?

China Yuan Direction & Critical Dollar SupportThe US dollar is still the leading global payment currency, holding a significant share of 49% compared to all other currencies.
However, the Chinese yuan is on the rise. Although it currently accounts for only 3.5%, its growth over the past two years has drawn my attention.
The yuan’s share increased from 2% in 2023 to 3.5% this year, representing a 75% increase in just 2 years.
And for global commerce, the growth is even more striking:
“In trade, 6% of global commerce was financed in RMB last year, up from under 2% in 2023.”
This represents a 200% increase in the use of the yuan for trade in also just 2 years.
If the yuan continues to grow at the same pace — at a 75% increase every 2 years —
it would take roughly 11 to 12 more years to reach 49%, i.e., around the year 2036.

Bitcoin 8X LONG Chart Setup · 330% Profits PotentialWe have two support zones neatly depicted on the chart; green and red. Red is the main support zone, the range between $100,000 and $110,000, while green is the bullish zone support zone between $110,000 and $120,000.
BTC1! is trading within the bullish zone, above $110,000 after a strong monthly higher low, vs 22-June. Volume is standard for a continuation of the broader long-term bullish move. That is, even with short-term swings and price fluctuations Bitcoin is set to continue growing.
Because I believe firmly that Bitcoin will continue to grow, here I am showing you some numbers with mid-term goals.
The final target on this signal I believe is not the last target for the current run, but there is strong resistance at this level so we can always go out to comeback in, or adapt to your own liking since we are all adults.
I give you a great entry with great prices and timing, you take care of the rest. The market is here to bless us with growth, profits and success.
Full trade-numbers below:
______
LONG BTCUSDT 8X (PP: 330%)
ENTRY: $100,000 - $111,000 (STOP: $98,200)
TARGETS: $122,000, $137,000, $155,600

Distribution Pattern Signals Crash Into CME Gap at 92kIt is always the same playbook at this point and it is getting boring to watch. The same double top distribution pattern repeats again and again. This is the game they play, wiping out both shorts and longs before the real rally begins.
The last time we saw this setup Bitcoin pulled back 32 percent into the CME gap at 77k. The next gap sits at 92k and you can bet they will dump it down there too. In reality it is not even that big of a move, just 26 percent, perfectly in line with previous pullbacks.
The real story is the fear it will create. This lines up with September, historically Bitcoin’s worst performing month and a time when blood usually runs in the streets.
DO NOT FALL FOR THIS BEAR TRAP AND SHAKE OUT
BTC CME / FVG levelsHi,
Here are some 4 hour FVG / CME levels I found on BTC, just to have an overview over the levels in case of bull, in case of bear, etc..
Price don't have to respect these levels, but usually does, in accordance with ICT market maker / smart money algorithm theory.
Have a great day, and good luck trading!
Bitcoin Goes Bullish · Altcoins Market Resumes GrowingBitcoin and the altcoins market is about to perform one of those surprise moves that it really loves, a huge major advance; we are going up.
How are you feeling in this wonderful new week my friend?
I am happy to have your attention. Please, continue reading below and let me know in the comments what you think about this analysis.
The markets are open, people are trading, buying and selling while prices are rising. Bitcoin is no longer going down and the retrace was very small. The total drop so far amounts to less than 10%, but it is wise to consider that the current range is not $110,000 to $120,000 but $100,000 to $120,000. It is a wide range.
The new all-time high is not a major new level but instead a double-top compared to mid-July. Seeing how a double-top made no impression on the bears, seeing how the market continues super strong, we can easily predict that the bull market is not over and Bitcoin will continue to grow. What about Litecoin?
Chainlink is no longer trading at bottom prices but it has plenty of room available for growth. It is not at the bottom but certainly not a new all-time high either. The same for Cardano. Will it stop growing and enter a bear market when it was already doing so great? No, it will continue growing long-term.
Hedera also grew nicely and a small portion of the market is in the same boat. The bigger part though is still trading near support but not for long. August is the last chance to get those still behind while prices are still low. The fact that many projects are ahead, high up, confirms where the market is headed.
If you think a few years back, everything was down including Bitcoin.
If you think last year, everything was down but Bitcoin.
If you see how the market is doing now, many projects are very strong and growing. This reveals what is coming to the rest of the market.
First one, then two, then six, then twenty and then everything grows.
Bitcoin is about to make a surprise move... The entire market is set to grow.
Namaste.
