Bitcoin rejects the test of its all-time highs, is a double top in the making?
Taking a look at Bitcoin after Ethereum surged to $4,350 before consolidating near $4,200—a bullish sign for crypto markets. BTC followed with a rapid rally to $122,310, just shy of record highs, before profit-taking set in.

AUD/USD Technical: Further potential Aussie strength towards range resistance as RBA looms
Australia’s RBA is expected to cut rates by 25 bps to 3.6% on Tuesday, as inflation cools toward its 2%-3% target. The AUD/USD has rebounded from early August lows, holding above key supports and within a minor ascending channel. Technicals point to a bullish bias toward 0.6540/0.6580, while narrowing AU-US yield spreads may lend further upside support unless 0.6480 key support breaks.

WTI Crude Forecast: Risk premium fades, supply pressures mount, bearish trend ahead
WTI crude oil prices have reversed sharply, falling 18% from their June highs as the geopolitical risk premium fades. Rising US crude inventories, potential easing of sanctions on Russian oil, and planned OPEC+ production hikes are adding downward pressure. Technical signals suggest the recent three-month rebound has ended, with a bearish trend likely to extend toward key support levels at $60.55, $55.00, and $50.50/49.10 unless prices break above $68.80.

USD/JPY Technical: Potential impending minor bullish breakout for Japanese yen
USD/JPY hit a four-month high of 150.92 on 1 Aug before reversing sharply, forming a weekly bearish “Shooting Star.” Price action now sits below its 20-day moving average, with a potential minor bearish breakdown looming under 148.15. A drop below 146.60 could open the path to 145.85 and 144.50, while a break above 148.15 may trigger a squeeze toward 148.75 and 149.50.
