Fundamental Analysis

Ethereum Eyes $5K on Rate Cuts Hopes & U.S. Shutdown ResolutionEthereum (ETH/USD) continues to show resilience as macroeconomic conditions begin to favor risk assets. With the U.S. Federal Reserve expected to cut interest rates by 25–50 basis points in December, investors are gradually rotating back into crypto, anticipating improved liquidity and higher capital inflows. Lower interest rates typically weaken the dollar and boost speculative assets like ETH and BTC, making this a potential catalyst for Ethereum’s next bullish leg. Additionally, progress toward resolving the U.S. government shutdown, which has lingered for weeks, is helping stabilize investor sentiment. Once uncertainty around fiscal operations fades, institutional activity is expected to pick up across both traditional and digital markets — further supporting Ethereum’s recovery momentum. On-chain fundamentals remain strong. Ethereum’s staking deposits continue to rise, now exceeding 33 million ETH locked in validator contracts. This sustained demand reduces circulating supply and underpins long-term price stability. Meanwhile, the Ethereum network maintains its dominance in decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and Layer-2 scaling activity, positioning it as the backbone of Web3 infrastructure even amid increasing competition. Technically, ETH/USD has bounced from the $3,200 support zone, aligning with a long-term ascending trendline. The chart shows potential for a sustained push toward the $4,150 resistance before retesting and targeting the $5,000 high. A clear daily close above this level would confirm a continuation of the larger bullish structure and could open the door to new all-time highs in 2026 if macro tailwinds persist. Overall, Ethereum’s fundamentals and technicals are converging at a favorable point, and with rate cuts on the horizon and fiscal fears fading, ETH may be preparing for a powerful rally into Q1 2026.

USOIL: Q4/2025 Q1 2026 Action PlansSentiment: - The broader market is cautious in a risk-off environment, which typically translates to concerns about demand and the strength of the US dollar. However, the market is not in a state of panic as the Fear Index is at around 30, opening room for either direction. - Social Media (X/Twitter): The current tone is positive, as participants expect USOil to rise within the range of 57.50-65.00 in the near term, anticipating an upcoming upward breakout. - The COT report shows extremely bearish sentiment regarding the latest data from 26/9 (following the US government shutdown), so we can only have a snapshot of more than a month ago. Although the current sentiment may or may not be as extreme (we need to wait for the latest data), it still reflects the state of market positioning. - I think that Retail is unaware of positioning extremes and is more focused on technical breakout. It may lead to a sentiment shift as a result of a technical breakout and changes in the fundamental narrative. Fundamental: A. OPEC+ Production Shift: - Narrative: OPEC+ has pivoted to MORE cautious supply management. After nine consecutive monthly increases, the group is now implementing only a modest 137k bpd increase for Dec 2025, followed by a production pause for the entire first quarter of 2026. - Rationale: Healthy market fundamentals, low inventory levels, seasonal demand - It means more supportive than what we observed earlier in 2025. Q1 2026 pause suggests OPEC+ acknowledges oversupply risks and is being disciplined. One more thing to note is that the current price is also not entirely factored into this narrative. B. Geopolitical Risk Premium Returning: - Narrative: Recent US/EU sanctions on Russian energy companies and escalating tension in oil-producing regions are providing price support. - Market impact: This narrative provides a fundamental floor for price at least till the end of this year. C. Bearish Fundamentals - Oversupply into 2026: - Narrative: Despite the OPEC+ pause, global oil inventories are expected to rise through 2026 on weak demand growth and non-OPEC supply increases (such as the US production) - Factors: global inventories forecast to rise through 2026, weak demand from China, tariff uncertainties and US production at record levels. - Market impact: Bearish medium-term outlook for Q1-Q2 2026. Technical: - USOIL broke the small blue channel and is expected to reach the measured level at around 65, confluence with the Sep resistances. - If USOIL can hold above 60 (retest the broken channel), it may resume its momentum to retest the key resistance at 62 first, then 65, as measured by the move upon breaking. - Conversely, closing below the support at 59.30 may invalidate the short-term upward view and open the door for further decline, potentially retesting the swing low at 56.80. Conclusion: - Despite a short-term upward momentum until year-end, the prospect for USOIL in 2026 is not as promising. - Therefore, a range of 65-70 is possible for the short term upward plan; however, any surge bejond that may open another opportunity for counter-trade setups in Q1-Q2 2026.

Ripple Labs Inc. Expands Beyond Crypto Into Traditional Finance Ripple Labs, the blockchain company behind XRP, is making a strategic shift that could reshape its role in global finance. CEO Brad Garlinghouse confirmed at the Ripple Swell 2025 conference that the firm is deepening its expansion beyond crypto, targeting traditional financial services through blockchain-driven infrastructure. Over the past year, Ripple has spent nearly $4 billion acquiring traditional finance firms, including Hidden Road ($1.3B) and GTreasury ($1B+), as part of a long-term plan to integrate blockchain solutions into established financial systems. The company’s latest initiative — a prime brokerage offering over-the-counter spot trading for institutions — reflects Ripple’s goal to bridge crypto liquidity with traditional finance. The timing is favorable. Under a more crypto-friendly U.S. administration, both the SEC and CFTC have eased regulatory pressures, encouraging major banks such as Citi, JPMorgan, and Bank of America to explore tokenization and stablecoin infrastructure. Ripple aims to position itself at the center of this transition by licensing its XRP Ledger (XRPL) to institutions seeking faster and cheaper transaction rails. Technically, XRP/USD is showing early signs of basing after months of sideways movement. Price currently hovers near the $2.30–$2.40 zone, with strong support forming at $1.80–$2.00. If bulls defend this level, the setup suggests a potential mid-term rebound toward $3.60, the upper resistance zone highlighted on the chart. A breakout above that range could confirm a new bullish cycle aligned with Ripple’s growing institutional adoption. With both technical and fundamental catalysts converging, Ripple’s ambition to merge crypto with traditional finance could make XRP one of the most strategically positioned digital assets heading into 2026.

XAUUSD XAU/USD – Gold Analysis After reaching previous highs, gold entered a multi-week range, consolidating within well-defined support and resistance levels. Now, price is approaching the upper boundary of that range, showing clear accumulation just below resistance, forming a cup-shaped pattern — a classic bullish continuation setup. If gold breaks above this resistance, I expect a retest of the breakout zone followed by a potential move toward 4,195 as the first target. Fundamentally, gold remains supported by expectations of stable U.S. interest rates, ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, and safe-haven demand, all of which continue to reinforce the metal’s bullish medium-term outlook.

$SOLUSD Eyes Key Demand Zone Before Potential Macro BreakoutSolana (SOL/USD) is approaching a pivotal technical zone that could define its next major move. After an extended corrective leg from the $254 region, the price has retraced toward key demand areas, around $140, and around $120 where prior liquidity sweeps and structural reversals have historically emerged. The chart reveals a repeating market behavior where Solana establishes a base within strong demand zones before launching decisive bullish impulses. An external structure Break of Structure (BOS) from previous swing highs, followed by an internal Change of Character (CHOCH) confirmation, after a retracement, suggests the broader bullish structure remains intact despite short-term weakness due to macro- economic challenges. Should price hold the $120 range, a rebound toward the $295 previous highs appears probable. However, if sellers drive price lower, deeper liquidity could be collected near the $115–$120 region, aligning perfectly with the ascending trendline and long-term support base. This would likely create a high-probability accumulation phase before another impulsive leg higher. Volume trends show healthy market participation during both expansions and pullbacks, reflecting consistent investor interest in Solana’s price action. Fundamentally, Solana’s growing adoption across DeFi, NFTs, and high-performance dApp ecosystems continues to strengthen the bullish bias. A confirmed reversal from current levels could set the stage for a macro breakout toward the $295 zone, which represents a higher high of the external bullish structure and a psychological milestone for market participants. In summary, Solana’s technical framework signals that the market is in a late-stage correction within a larger bullish cycle. A clean defense of the $140 zone would reinforce the bullish continuation narrative, while a brief dip into the $115 zone could form the final liquidity trap before another surge toward new highs

XAU/USD – Bulls Face Resistance at Key Supply ZoneGold prices have shown strong bullish momentum in recent sessions, but the rally is now encountering significant resistance near the $4,148 zone. After an extended impulse leg, price appears to be losing steam, signaling the potential for a short-term pullback or correction. On the 1-hour timeframe, price has tested the upper resistance multiple times without a clear breakout, forming a potential double-top pattern. The latest bearish candle from this area reinforces the presence of sellers and suggests a possible rejection phase before any continuation. Key Levels to Watch: Resistance: $4,148 – $4,155 (supply zone / neckline area) Support: $4,076 (short-term demand zone), $3,995 (major demand zone) Trading Strategy: Short-term traders could look for bearish confirmation signals below $4,120 for potential short entries, targeting $4,076 as the first take-profit zone. However, if price breaks and closes above $4,148 with volume, it could invalidate the bearish setup and open the door for a continuation toward new highs. Outlook: Neutral-to-bearish in the short term while below $4,148. Watch for price reaction at this level for the next directional move.

LiamTrading – XAUUSD H2 | USD strengthens again, gold ...LiamTrading – XAUUSD H2 | USD strengthens again, gold consolidates in an upward channel; waiting for a correction to 4090/4041 – breaking 4145 confirms further rise Quick Context: USD recovery causes gold to move sideways during the Asian session. Prices are moving within an upward channel, touching the upper trendline and reacting around 4100, without forming a lower low. To confirm the continuation of the upward momentum, 4145 needs to be broken; otherwise, prioritize the technical correction scenario to liquidity zones. Technical Analysis (Volume Profile • Trendline • S/R • Fibonacci) Channel & Trendline: Channel top coincides with 4135–4145 → likely to see profit-taking pressure. Maintaining the lower edge of the channel ~4085–4090 keeps the upward structure valid. Liquidity & FVG: Liquidity 4090: price pull/volume attraction zone before choosing a direction. Fibonacci Retracement + old resistance ~4041–4043: strong confluence for a bounce if a deep correction occurs. Main Resistance: 4130–4135 (retest channel top), 4145 (pivot confirming rise), 4200 (sell scalp area if clear rejection appears). Main Support: 4084–4086 (channel edge/liq), 4041–4043 (Fib + S/R), deeper 4020 is a defensive level for buyers. Trading Scenarios (optimized for mobile reading) Scenario 1 – Buy shallow pullback (trend-following priority) Entry: 4084–4086 SL: 4078 TP: 4098 → 4112 → 4135 → 4160 Suggestion: Wait for a rejection candle at 4090 or an M15 reversal signal before executing. Scenario 2 – Buy deep (Fib + S/R) Entry: 4041–4043 SL: 4036 TP: 4056 → 4072 → 4095 → 4120 Suggestion: Prioritize when price fills the gap and leaves a clear lower wick. Scenario 3 – Sell scalp at resistance (counter-trend) Entry: 4130–4132 SL: 4138 TP: 4112 → 4100 → 4088 → 4060 Note: Only quick scalps; abandon if H1/H2 closes strongly above 4145. Bonus – Sell scalp 4200 Condition: Clear rejection appears on smaller frames. SL: above the nearest new peak. Reference TP: 4185 → 4166 → 4145. Risk Management & Invalidation Short-term bullish bias remains valid when price holds above 4085–4090. H2 closes above 4145 → prioritize buying on breakout, limit all sell orders. H2 closes below 4036 → risk of deeper test around 4020. Risk per trade 0.5–1%, move SL to breakeven at +1R, do not average down against the trend. Which price zone do you find noteworthy today?

GOLD → The bullish trend continues its movement FX:XAUUSD is testing the $4,150 level, hitting a three-month high amid expectations of a resumption of US government operations and weak economic data. The weekly gain exceeded 3%. Expectations of Fed easing - 64% probability of a rate cut in December, Consumer Sentiment Index (50.3) - lowest in 3.5 years. Layoffs rose 183.1% in October. The end of the shutdown will allow the release of missed data (NFP, CPI), which may confirm the need for a rate cut. All of this provides support for the metal. Today, it is worth paying attention to ADP employment data (4-week average) — an assessment of the labor market. Fundamentally, gold remains bullish thanks to a combination of monetary expectations and macro risks. Resistance levels: 4150, 4160 Support levels: 4125, 4085 The trend is bullish and quite aggressive, with the market not allowing for deep pullbacks. Ahead lies resistance at 4150-4160, a fairly dense pool of liquidity that is likely to halt the current movement and trigger a small correction before continuing to rise to 4200-4250. Best regards, R. Linda!

USDCHF → Manipulation? False breakout of resistance FX:USDCHF attempted to take advantage of the trend reversal opportunity after breaking out of a descending wedge, but the weak dollar hindered the rally... The currency pair is facing resistance at 0.8076. There is no continuation of the momentum towards a breakout, and bearish pressure, which is intensifying as the dollar index declines, is negatively affecting the currency pair. The price has returned to the trading range, with an emphasis on 0.8057 - 0.8076. If the bears keep the price below this zone, this move could trigger further sell-offs. Resistance levels: 0.8057, 0.8076 Support levels: 0.7957, 0.7925 The false breakout confirms that sellers currently have the upper hand and buyers lack the strength to push the price higher. Accordingly, consolidation below the key level could trigger a further decline towards the zone of interest at 0.7975. Best regards, R. Linda!

USDJPY → Consolidation above key support. Growth?FX:USDJPY breaks the structure of downward resistance on the daily timeframe. A retest is forming as part of the correction, and bulls have every chance of growth... The dollar is in an uptrend, which generally supports the currency pair. Against this backdrop, the Japanese yen continues to weaken. USDJPY is testing the previously broken resistance of the trading range as part of the correction. However, the price was not allowed to fall and quickly returned to the long zone. Accordingly, support at 153.0 - 153.2 plays a key role. Consolidation above this level could trigger further growth to 153.8 - 156.0. Support levels: 153.23, 152.83 Resistance levels: 154.83, 156.0 The bullish trend may support the current movement, and a breakout of the trend resistance on D1 is a fairly strong sign of interest in growth against the backdrop of a strong dollar. Best regards, R. Linda!
