The recent volatility in the foreign exchange market is indeed worth paying attention to. Last week, the repeated negotiations between the US and Iran directly suppressed the dollar, with non-US currencies like the euro and yen rising collectively, among which the Australian dollar had the largest increase, rising by 1.5%.
First, let's talk about the euro. Last week, EUR/USD rose by 0.34%, mainly because the market was once optimistic that the US and Iran would reach an agreement soon, leading to decreased demand for the dollar as a safe-haven currency. Trump said it was very likely that negot

Recently, a friend asked me what RSI means, and I realized that many new traders are still a bit unfamiliar with this indicator. Actually, the meaning of RSI, to put it simply, is to determine whether an asset has been overhyped or sold off too aggressively.
Let me briefly explain what RSI represents. The full name of this indicator is the Relative Strength Index, which is a momentum oscillator with values ranging from 0 to 100. When RSI exceeds 70, it usually indicates that the asset is in an overbought condition and may be due for a correction; conversely, below 30 suggests oversold conditio

Recently studying trading costs, I found that many people actually overlook a very basic but crucial thing— the bid-ask spread.
Simply put, the bid-ask spread is the difference between the price you're willing to pay when buying and the lowest price sellers are willing to accept.
It sounds simple, but this thing directly affects your trading costs. For example, if an asset's buy price is $100 and the sell price is $102, the spread is $2.
This $2 may seem small, but if you trade frequently or with large volumes, it adds up to a significant expense.
The spread actually reflects the true state of

The Australian government recently announced a pretty interesting measure. The Prime Minister declared that they will provide 1 billion AUD in interest-free loans to key industries such as transportation and fertilizers to help them withstand the surge in fuel costs.
The background is that the Middle East situation has stirred up the global oil and gas markets, causing oil prices to soar. Australia is in a somewhat awkward position because over 80% of its fuel needs are imported, so the impact is particularly severe. Recently, there was a panic buying spree in the market due to fears of supply

Just saw the latest updates from Singapore. WeRide and Grab have launched an AI.R autonomous driving mobility service in the Bukit Gombak area, which has been publicly operational since April 1st. It's said to be Singapore's first autonomous public transportation, and residents can now experience it in their communities.
This is quite interesting. The transition from testing to actual user road experience for autonomous driving seems to be moving quite quickly in Singapore. I wonder how the experience is—has anyone in Singapore tried this service?

Recently, I noticed an interesting phenomenon: the number of small Bitcoin wallet holders is steadily increasing, but the price rebound seems weak and underwhelming. The number of wallets holding less than 0.1 BTC has already hit a new high this year. Even though these retail investors are actively participating, their influence still seems insufficient.
What truly drives the market is those big holders. Data shows that large wallets holding 10 to 10,000 Bitcoins have, instead, been reducing their positions since last October, which creates an awkward situation—small retail investors are buyin

Recently, I noticed that Bitcoin is weakening again, and it has now dropped to over $73k. Spot trading volume has noticeably shrunk. Looking at the market, crypto stocks are also declining, and the overall market sentiment is a bit cold. Interestingly, during this adjustment, I found some intriguing data signals; the angel number 55 seems to appear frequently in certain cycles, but it might just be a coincidence. However, from a technical perspective, the sluggish trading volume is indeed a warning sign, and we may need to see if it can regain a solid footing at the key support level.

Recently, I noticed an interesting market phenomenon. The Korean stock market experienced a historic-level crash this week, with the Kospi index dropping about 20% in just two trading days, breaking the previous crazy rally driven by retail investors. Since April last year, this index has risen nearly 180%, mainly supported by tech stocks like Samsung and SK Hynix. But geopolitical tensions suddenly halted this rally.
Interestingly, whenever the Korean stock market cools down, local traders start looking for the next speculative target. This pattern has been observed by analysts many times. In

Recently, I noticed that cryptocurrencies and related coin stocks are performing well, especially with some favorable policies and strategic pushes from major exchanges. Bitcoin has been surging strongly these days; I just checked the price and it has already broken through $74,000, higher than the previous expectation of $72,000.
Behind this rally, it seems that several factors are at play. On one hand, the regulatory environment has improved; on the other hand, major trading platforms are actively promoting new initiatives. It appears that market sentiment is indeed turning positive, benefit

I recently came across a pretty interesting market phenomenon. The chain reaction triggered by a sudden change in Iran’s situation directly impacted Bitcoin’s price action.
Here’s how it went. Iran’s state television confirmed that the Supreme Leader was killed in a U.S.-Israeli airstrike. Once the news broke, the market reaction was quite intense. In Sunday’s early trading, Bitcoin surged straight to around $68,000, almost recovering all of the losses from Saturday that had been caused by war-related concerns in one go. Now BTC is trading around $73,900, and the rally is still continuing.

Recently, I noticed an interesting phenomenon: despite the U.S. Federal Reserve headquarters undergoing renovation and being involved in a criminal investigation, the prediction market's risk assessment of Powell's early departure remains surprisingly conservative. On Polymarket, only an 8% probability shows he will step down before the end of March, indicating that traders do not strongly believe that political pressure in Washington can directly influence the Fed Chair's position.
Interestingly, despite this, the market is preparing for a policy shift with the next Fed Chair. Kevin Warsh is

刚看了一眼XRP的走势，现在卡在1.36美元附近，波动率跌到1月以来的最低点。这种压缩阶段通常意味着大行情要来了，但具体方向还不确定。
1.40美元这个支撑位被反复测试，买方在这儿死守，卖方则在1.43美元附近频繁砸盘。整个区间就窄得不行，0.03美元的幅度，感觉随时可能突破。如果支撑住1.40，反弹可能指向1.43甚至1.45；要是跌破了，下行目标就看1.35。
有意思的是，比特币最近也在76000美元试了一下就回落到74000，两个月了还没真正突破。Binance的永续合约资金费率已经连46天负值了，做空仓位特别多。按K33研究的分析，这种长期风险规避阶段历史上往往预示着急涨行情。
所以现在关键就看成交量了，哪一方能用量突破支撑或阻力位，就能确定下一步走势。个人感觉这个支撑位能不能守住，决定了接下来的方向。

Recently, I noticed that South Africa is pushing forward with an interesting infrastructure reform. The local government is opening up the rail freight network to allow private companies to participate in operations, which is a significant move in the logistics sector.
It's understandable to consider the background of this reform. South Africa's mining and agricultural exports have long been economic pillars, but in recent years, bottlenecks in railway transportation have become increasingly apparent. Capacity constraints combined with operational disruptions have forced many exporters to turn

The U.S. stock market has been a bit on edge lately— all three major indices closed lower across the board. The S&P 500 fell by 0.43%, the Nasdaq dropped 0.92%, and the Dow Jones was even worse, down 1.05% directly. It looks like investors’ risk appetite vanished all at once today, with a full-blown sell-off underway.
I took a closer look, and there are actually several factors at play behind this drop. First, inflation data is coming back to stir things up again; the producer price report shows there is still pressure in the pipeline, so the market starts to reprice expectations for the Feder

I just saw that miner Cango has recently made a big move, directly cutting mining hash rate by nearly 30%, from 50 EH/s down to 34.55 EH/s. Such a scale of adjustment is quite rare. I heard that this reduction is mainly because mining profits have indeed been less than ideal lately, and they are trying to respond by optimizing equipment efficiency. In simple terms, under this market condition, continuing to mine at full capacity is no longer cost-effective, so they simply reduce production capacity and focus on improving efficiency. This also reflects a phenomenon: the entire mining industry i

Lately, I've been looking at Bitcoin's MACD indicator, and it's quite interesting. The momentum indicator is currently giving some slightly weak signals, which can indeed make bullish traders a bit nervous. I checked the recent trend, and this signal is still worth paying attention to.
From a technical perspective, momentum indicators like MACD are quite useful for judging trend reversals. When the indicator starts to weaken, it usually means that the upward momentum is diminishing, so it's important to pay more attention to the market direction. Especially for long positions, such signals req

Recently, I’ve been paying attention to some changes in the crypto media ecosystem—especially issues related to editorial independence and interest disclosure. Take CoinDesk as an example. As a relatively influential media organization in the industry, it still has fairly strict requirements for its editorial policies.
What’s interesting is that many crypto media outlets now emphasize their own independence. Behind this is a growing need across the industry for content fairness. Whether the reporting concerns big projects or shanzhai coin-related coverage, editors need to follow strict princip

I just saw an interesting market trend. The Chicago Options Exchange is exploring a new concept—using the traditional options framework to create a non-judgmental trading product. In simple terms, it's about simplifying trading logic to make participation more straightforward.
The design idea behind this product is quite clear. Traders bet on a certain event; if the event occurs, they receive a fixed return; if not, they incur a loss. This logic is quite similar to the popular prediction markets today, but Cboe wants to repackage this concept using its expertise in the options field. They are
