Chart alert: GBP/USD breaks trendline, is a 470-odd pip decline on the way?
GBP/USD Trade Idea: Analyzes the pair's slide due to a trendline break and US Dollar strength. Scenario 1 suggests a potential 470-pip decline, but an oversold RSI hints at a near-term pullback. Scenario 2 highlights the risk from strong US data, which could boost the dollar. Invalidation point is a daily close above 1.3700.

Markets Today: FTSE 100 down 100-odd points, Gold hovers at $5000/oz, AliBaBa, Walmart Earnings and US data ahead

Bitcoin, Interest Rates, and Trump: A Crypto Market Review 2024-2025
Is $60,000 Bitcoin’s tripwire that could unleash a cascade of selloffs?
Bitcoin’s $60,000 level has become a critical front line for the market. A sustained break below it could amplify volatility as heavy put positioning on Deribit, dealer hedging flows, BTC-backed loan liquidations, and leveraged forced selling potentially combine into a cascading move. With the 200-week moving average near $58,000 and growing focus on downside scenarios, traders are watching whether support can hold—or whether a deeper slide could follow.
