📊 Key Economic Events This Week - Volatility is Coming
This week is filled with heavy data that could move the markets significantly, especially crypto:
◻️ Retail Sales for October — Tuesday ◻️ November Jobs Report — Tuesday ◻️ CPI Data for Inflation — Thursday ◻️ Philadelphia Federal Index — Thursday ◻️ Interest Rate Decision from the Bank of Japan — Friday ◻️ PCE Inflation for October — Friday ◻️ Existing Home Sales — Friday ◻️ Inflation Forecasts and Consumer Confidence Data (MI) — Friday ◻️ 5 Speeches from Federal Officials
📌 A critical week, liquidity will move, and caution is required. Follow the data closely and prioritize risk management.
$HBAR reached the target of decline and the decision is now 📉📈
On November 13, $HBAR confirmed the breakout of the Head & Shoulders pattern on the daily timeframe, and the target was a decline of approximately 28%. On December 15, the price touched the area of $0.113 exactly, the target was literally achieved, and it has now become a temporary support.
🔻 Breaking the area of 0.113-0.110 opens the way to 0.107 then 0.095. 🔺 Any rise remains corrective unless we reclaim 0.155 with a daily close.
The pattern has succeeded… and the question now is: Is this calm accumulation or the beginning of a new downward wave? So far, negative pressure is still the closest.
⚠️ Why is the Bank of Japan more important for Bitcoin than some might think?
The focus is often on the Federal Reserve, but the Bank of Japan is a hidden player in crypto liquidity. The cheap yen fuels global money that has entered high-risk assets, including Bitcoin.
Any rate hike from the BoJ strengthens the yen, puts pressure on liquidity, and impacts leveraged positions.
📅 The forecast indicates a potential hike of 25 basis points on December 19. Monitor the event closely, tightening liquidity = higher volatility
$EPIC more than 30% over the past three days. This movement is characterized by sustained momentum and excellent respect for the support area. The breakout candle confirms the entry of real buyers, and any small correction is quickly absorbed.
🔹 As long as the price is above 0.590, the positive momentum continues. 🔹 Nearby resistance: 0.645 🔹 Strong resistance: 0.690 and a breakout opens the way towards 0.840 🔹 The most important support: 0.530 – 0.510
My advice is to take some profits at least and fully benefit from any upward movement the market gives you 🚀
🔥 $USTC Strong momentum. Will the movement continue? 🚀
$USTC achieved more than +20% yesterday and is now moving at a strong resistance area, confirming that the momentum is still present. The price is testing the first resistance at 0.0078 – 0.0080, and if it breaks through steadily, we open the way towards 0.0087 – 0.0089 then 0.0096 – 0.0098 as strong resistance areas to watch and take profits.
As for the correction, the most important support that must hold is 0.0072 – 0.0070. The movement is fast and the momentum is clear, but remember: rapid rises are often followed by declines, so risk management is essential.
🚀 $LUNA Signs of recovery and the beginning of an upward movement
After the strong drop in recent days, $LUNA finally starts to show a clear rebound and build positive momentum. Demand has gradually returned, and with this improvement continuing, we may be facing a stronger movement ahead. Although the market has recently forgotten the currency, it is still under the spotlight and any bullish surprise could trigger a quick reaction from traders.
🚨 Breaking: Potential Changes in Federal Leadership
President Trump will interview Federal Reserve member Christopher Waller for the position of Fed Chair. Any change in Fed leadership means significant volatility in the markets, especially crypto. Nominations are swinging between Christopher Waller and economic advisor Kevin Hassett.
What do you expect? Will Powell leave before the end of the year or after his term ends in May 2026?👇
🔥 $SUI maintains its strength after a strong rebound
$SUI broke through resistance at 1.50 with clear momentum and trading volume, showing good stability above this level. As long as the price is above 1.50, the bullish scenario remains valid.
📊Trading plan 🔵Entry area: 1.5000 – 1.5150 🟢Target: 1.6100
⚠️ A break and loss of 1.50 could bring the price back for a deep correction towards 1.40.
🔥 $ORDI proves its strength and the positive scenario continues 🚀
After a strong surge, $ORDI maintains its cohesion above an important support area, indicating healthy accumulation before the next move. As long as the price is above the demand zone, the continuation of the rise remains likely.
The price of $SUI has decreased by about 8% over the last 24 hours as alternative currencies continue to weaken. The price has rebounded above the support area of 1.43-1.40 and is currently trading near 1.50, but the overall trend still leans towards a decline with Bitcoin's weakness.
🔻 Breaking below 1.40 may open the way to 1.34, then 1.20, and even 1.00 if selling accelerates. 🔼 Conversely, regaining and staying above 1.50 may ease the pressure and re-target 1.69 then 1.82
The market is very sensitive right now and risk management is essential.
The US economy added 64,000 jobs in November, higher than expectations (50,000). However, the unemployment rate rose to 4.6%, the highest level since September 2021.
📊 The message is mixed: Growth in jobs, but clear weakness in the labor market. This could increase pressure on the Fed to consider lowering interest rates, which is a potential positive factor for crypto, but with uncertainty caution is necessary.
I stand by my words, any rise in crypto due to this economic data will be followed by profit-taking and selling, so until the picture becomes clearer, don't expect too much.
📉 $FIL Under pressure… Strong fluctuations and a narrow range
Filecoin dropped to $1.22 amid severe fluctuations with the market as a whole declining. The main support is at $1.27, while resistance presses near $1.29 - $1.30, creating a narrow range for movement.
Breaking the $1.30 level with strong momentum could help the currency rise further towards higher areas. Bouncing from the support area of $1.22 indicates demand at the lows.
In summary, the trend remains negative in the short term unless we reclaim $1.30 firmly.
🚨 Visa enters the world of Stablecoin strongly within the American banking system
Visa has officially started integrating payment settlement with Stablecoin within American banks using USDC in collaboration with Circle and banks Cross River and Lead Bank, with settlement on network #solana and support for the upcoming Arc network from Circle.
This is the first time settlement of Stablecoin is directly linked to American banks, after Trump signed a clear legal framework for stablecoins in July. The advantage? Instant settlement 24/7 instead of days through traditional systems.
Visa is betting early that Stablecoin will be the heart of the next payment system, and institutions are starting to take action. 👀💥
🔥 $ACE After the pump, a healthy calm before the next move 🚀🚀
$ACE has entered a cooling phase after a strong upward wave, and is now building a solid base above previous demand areas. This behavior is normal and shows that the momentum has not yet broken. As long as the price maintains this range, the opportunity for continuation of the upward trend remains valid with calculated risk.
If it breaks and stabilizes above 0.287, $ACE is set for a stronger move towards 0.320 – 0.340. Personally, I prefer to take profits and secure capital while waiting for a clearer opportunity.
Today, we witnessed a good rebound in the market, with Bitcoin bouncing from 85,266 and moving towards a strong resistance area between 87,700 – 88,200. Not just $BTC , but many alternative currencies are also rebounding towards significant resistances.
The main reason mentioned earlier is that the economic data today could change future interest rate cut expectations, which temporarily opened up risk appetite in crypto. However, beware: the 88k area that was previously strong support may now turn into a critical resistance. Either a rejection and a new drop, or a recovery and rise towards 90k.
In my opinion, this rebound is unsustainable, and with the upcoming risks from the Bank of Japan, we may see selling and profit-taking. My advice: Reduce risks, take your profits, and wait for clearer opportunities; the market is still in a dangerous position. ⚠️
The price clearly broke $XRP below the support area of $1.93 after holding for weeks, and the break came with very high trading volume (+246% above the average), confirming significant liquidity participation and not a weak movement.
The price dropped from around $2.00 to $1.8250, with the currency rebounding somewhat strongly; the support area of $1.93 may turn into a strong resistance area.
🔹 Current support: $1.85 🔹 The $1.93 area is critical to determining the direction of $XRP ahead. 🔹 Any real recovery needs to reclaim $1.93 with momentum.
Until then, #xrp remains exposed to further volatility and selling pressure.
🚨 Diplomatic progress in the Russia–Ukraine file: what does it mean for crypto?
Intensive talks between the US, Ukraine, and Europe indicate that a ceasefire agreement is nearing, with consensus on most of the security framework. This development could reduce geopolitical risks and improve risk appetite in the markets.
For crypto: ✔️ Easing tensions = moral support for risky assets ✔️ Less pressure on energy prices and inflation likely
But ⚠️ I think that alone is not enough. Monetary policy and liquidity remain the decisive factors. We may see a short-term rebound, but the true direction needs confirmation from central banks.
🚨 An important day for the markets, many economic data today
Today we have a handful of strong economic data, and expectations for interest rate cuts may change as before. I do not expect violent movements, but surprises in the numbers may create quick rebounds up or down.
⚠️ Be careful 💰 Take your profits 🎯 Play on quick movements only
The market is unstable until the vision becomes clear, and risk management is key.
#NASDAQ is preparing to submit an official request to the SEC to extend trading hours to 23 hours a day during weekdays, in a move reflecting a shift towards more global markets. The plan proposes a daytime session from 4 AM to 8 PM, followed by a nighttime session from 9 PM to 4 AM, while maintaining the traditional opening and closing bells.
Markets are moving towards a model closer to crypto, longer trading, higher liquidity, and greater volatility. 📊
⚠️ $ASTER under strong pressure after breaking important support
The price of $ASTER has lost the level of $0.93 on a clear close, confirming structural weakness and the continuation of the downward trend. Staying below this previous support does not seem like a false breakout, but rather a negative price acceptance that increases selling pressure.
Currently, the focus is on $0.80, which is a strong support area, where we may witness capitulation movement with accelerated liquidation and weak demand. The absence of a strong buying reaction so far reinforces the negative scenario.
As long as the price remains below $0.93, the downside risk persists, and any change requires strong interaction at $0.80.
