FED today, 9 December 2025: Meeting in progress: The FED's Monetary Policy Committee (FOMC) is holding its two-day meeting. Decision expected: The decision on interest rates will be announced tomorrow, Wednesday 10 December 2025. High expectations: The markets are widely anticipating a 0.25% (25 basis point) cut in key interest rates, which would bring them down from the current range of 3.75%โ4.00% to 3.50%โ3.75%. Climate: The Fed is divided between those who want to lower rates to support employment and prevent a recession (the "doves") and those who want to keep them steady to ensure that inflation does not rise again (the "hawks"). The official announcement will be made tomorrow.
If you are active: Focus on range trading using oscillators to confirm entry points at the limits. If you are a long-term investor: A sideways market is a period when fundamentals may have time to realign. You can use this period to quietly accumulate at prices you consider fair, or, conversely, wait for a breakout to confirm a new trend before committing.
Moving Averages (MA): Observe how they behave. In a sideways market, moving averages frequently cross and flatten out, signalling the absence of a trend. Do not rely on their crossovers for entry/exit signals. Oscillators: These become much more relevant. RSI (Relative Strength Index): Use this to identify overbought conditions (sell near resistance) and oversold conditions (buy near support). Stochastic or CCI: Same principle, they help confirm that the price is at one end of the range. Volumes: Low volumes confirm indecision. High volumes during a breakout may indicate a potential exit from the range (but always be cautious).
A. Range Trading This is the most classic and effective strategy in a sideways market: Buy Support: Enter a buy position when the price touches the lower limit (the support level of the range). Sell at resistance: Enter a sell position (short) when the price touches the upper limit (the resistance level of the range). Clear Targets: Your profit target is often the opposite limit. For example, if you buy at support, you aim for resistance. Tight Stops: Place a stop-loss just below the support (for a buy) or above the resistance (for a sell) to protect yourself from a bearish or bullish breakout of the range. B. Fake Breakouts Breaks out of a range are often false signals. Wait for confirmation: Wait for Re-entry: A common trap is to take a position at the breakout. A safer approach is to wait for the price to re-enter the range before taking a position in the opposite direction (sell if the upper limit has been falsely broken).
Patience and Discipline: These are the key words. Sideways markets are often frustrating and lead to boredom, prompting impulsive trades. Resist the urge to over-trade. Reduced Aggressiveness: If you are used to taking big risks in trending markets, reduce the size of your positions. Movements are smaller and false breakouts are frequent. Honest Recognition: Accept that the market is in a phase of "consolidation" or "indecision". Your trend strategies will be less effective.

what I am alluding to has nothing to do with the pi on okx
I am rather talking about a solution for interoperability implemented by the Central Bank of the West African States

tokens redeemable only at okx which sets the price pi sells advertising takes your data for 0.001 pi per hour and the team invests in ai and does not distribute the mined pi
This reduces waiting time and, potentially, the risk of fraud or disputes related to traditional transfer delays (which could take days), improving fluidity

โFake platforms in Africa claim to be partners with Binance to steal from you. DO NOT TRUST promises of guaranteed or overly fast returns! โKey Takeaway: โVerify the Address: The only official site is binance.com. Any other URL is a scam (e.g., https://www.google.com/search?q=binance-africa.com). โPartnerships: Official partnerships are ALWAYS published on Binance's official blog/site. Do not believe unverified sources. โMoney: Binance will NEVER ask you to send your cryptos to an external wallet address for "investment" or "update". โSecrets: Never share your password or 2FA keys. Official support does not need them. โ๐ก Golden Rule: โIf it sounds too good to be true, IT'S A SCAM! Be careful.
Current Crypto Trend The market is consolidating after recent highs (BTC around ยฃ90K). BTC/ETH: Slight pullback and profit-taking. Institutional optimism (Spot ETF) maintains strong support. Altcoins: Capital rotation towards small-cap tokens (FOMO on certain "revival coins"), but caution due to increased volatility. Verdict: Long-term uptrend intact, but expect more volatility in the short term.$BTC $ETH $BNB
Linea is developed by Consensys, the creators of the MetaMask wallet. It is a technology aimed at making transactions on Ethereum faster and cheaper. It uses a technology called zk-Rollups.
2. How does it work?
The Ethereum problem: Ethereum can sometimes be slow, and transaction fees can be high, especially during peak usage periods. Linea is designed to solve this problem. The zk-Rollups: Linea uses zk-Rollups to bundle multiple transactions into one. This reduces the load on the main Ethereum network. How does it reduce costs? Instead of sending each transaction individually, Linea processes them off the main chain and sends a cryptographic proof that all transactions are valid. This takes up less space on the Ethereum network, thereby reducing fees.
3. Advantages of Linea
Speed and cost: Linea makes transactions faster and cheaper than on the main Ethereum network. Compatibility: Linea is compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), meaning developers can use the same tools they use for Ethereum.
4. In summary
Linea is a layer 2 solution that helps improve Ethereum by making transactions faster and cheaper. It uses zk-Rollups technology to achieve this.
