Ripple (XRP) and Stellar (XLM) trade within tight ranges on Tuesday as traders await the next directional move. XRP’s technical indicators suggest bearish momentum is fading, while XLM continues to consolidate near a critical support zone. Mixed derivatives metrics highlight growing market indecision, raising the likelihood of a volatile breakout in either direction in the coming days.
Derivatives positioning shows mixed biasDerivatives data shows mixed sentiment. CoinGlass’ long-to-short ratio for both XRP and XLM reads 0.88 and 0.81, respectively, on Tuesday. The ratio being below one, indicates bearish sentiment, as traders are betting the assets' prices will fall.

XRP funding rates flipped positive on July 14 and continue to remain in bullish territory, reading 0.0081% on Tuesday. Similarly, for XLM, the metrics turned positive on Monday, reaching 0.0068% on Tuesday. These positive rates indicate that longs are paying shorts and project bullish sentiment.

XLM summary data. Source: CryptoQuantXRP technical outlook: Fading bearish strengthXRP price trades at $1.11 on Tuesday after a slight recovery in the previous day. However, XRP is holding below the short-, medium- and long-term Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), which keeps the near-term bias capped despite improving momentum. The 50-day EMA at $1.14 and the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement at $1.13 sit just overhead as immediate resistance, while a mid-range Relative Strength Index (RSI) around 51 and a positive Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) histogram hint that selling pressure is easing rather than reversing.
On the topside, initial resistance is clustered between the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement at $1.13 and the 50-day EMA at $1.14, followed by a broader structural band around the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement at $1.21 and the 100-day EMA at $1.23. Higher up, the 50% retracement level at $1.27 and the horizontal barrier at $1.28 precede deeper retracement resistance at $1.34, marking a more distant ceiling.
On the downside, immediate support is defined by the psychological horizontal floor at $1.00, where buyers would be expected to defend the broader bullish cycle.
XLM technical outlook: Consolidates around key support zonesXLM price trades at $0.187 on Tuesday, consolidating below the key 50-day and 100-day EMAs around $0.187, keeping the near-term bias bearish despite a slight improvement in momentum. Price is marginally above the 100-day EMA at $0.187, hinting at tentative underlying support, while the RSI is near 47 and a mildly positive MACD reading suggests consolidative rather than impulsive selling pressure at current levels.
On the topside, immediate resistance is seen at the 50-day EMA at $0.189, followed by the 200-day EMA at $0.196 and the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement at $0.200.
On the downside, initial support comes from the 100-day EMA at $0.187, ahead of the horizontal floor at $0.177 and the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement at $0.173, with a deeper cushion only at the $0.142 horizontal level if bearish pressure resumes.

Chainlink, a leading decentralized oracle network, is maintaining its bullish structure as buyers continue to defend a critical accumulation zone. Market participants have interpreted this trend as a sign of confidence in the token’s long-term outlook, further supported by a recent partnership with United Stables, a growing stablecoin issuer.
LINK sustains momentum after recent gainsLINK is currently trading at $8.52. Over the past 24 hours, trading volume has reached $221 million, with a total market capitalization of $6.38 billion. Following a 2.27% increase in price during this period, analysts have identified positive signals in LINK’s price structure and ongoing network adoption.
Crypto analyst Moe stated that LINK retains a higher-timeframe bullish structure, despite a recent pullback that brought the token back to a long-term accumulation zone. This area had previously served as support during the bear market, and renewed buyer interest has reinforced optimism around LINK’s price trajectory.
Market experts note that maintaining this consolidation range can reinforce bullish momentum and may drive LINK above $100, provided buyer interest persists and broader crypto market conditions remain favorable.
The token’s ability to defend key accumulation areas is being watched closely as a potential catalyst for further gains.
United Stables partners with Chainlink for cross-chain expansionUnited Stables, a stablecoin project with a circulating supply exceeding $1 billion, has chosen Chainlink as its official data oracle and provider for cross-chain infrastructure. This partnership aims to support the expansion and interoperability of the United Stables ecosystem across DeFi platforms.
United Stables selected Chainlink due to its institutional-grade security and infrastructure, which the company sees as essential for stablecoin adoption at global scale. Integration of Chainlink’s protocol will enable United Stables to facilitate secure cross-chain communication, improve data accuracy, and increase trust among both developers and users.
Mini dictionary: Chainlink is a protocol that connects smart contracts to off-chain data through decentralized oracles, enabling secure and verifiable data feeds for blockchain networks.
The partnership is expected to help United Stables’ $1 billion stablecoin reach additional decentralized finance use cases and networks, particularly on BNB Chain.
ProjectRoleMain FocusChainlinkData oracle & cross-chain infrastructureEnabling secure DeFi connectivityUnited StablesStablecoin issuerExpanding stablecoin reach in DeFiIntegration of Chainlink’s technology is designed to boost United Stables’ interoperability and accessibility, fostering greater adoption within the decentralized finance sector.
Outlook for LINK and continued market momentumThe combination of bullish price momentum and expanding network integrations has contributed to a positive outlook for LINK. The token is increasingly seen as a key asset for institutional-grade DeFi infrastructure.
If LINK maintains its price above major accumulation levels, analysts expect bulls to target higher resistance zones, which could drive further upside in the current market environment.
Growing institutional partnerships, along with broader market interest, could drive additional capital into LINK, reinforcing its position as a central player in the decentralized data and infrastructure ecosystem.

LINK’s exchange balance is shrinking at a pace that matters far more for market structure than for short-term price oscillators. According to the latest Santiment update, more than 15.7 million LINK—roughly 12% of the known exchange supply—left trading platforms over the past month. Sunday alone saw net outflows of 1.04 million tokens, one of the largest single-day moves during the entire stretch. That kind of draining of readily sellable supply resets the supply-demand dynamic in a tangible way.
Fewer tokens sitting on order books mean aggressive sellers either have to chase prices higher or wait for a repositioning that may not come soon. The signal isn’t just about bullish positioning; it’s about the rationale behind the movement. These outflows didn’t follow a price surge or a hype cycle—they stacked up during a month packed with institutional-grade catalysts that reframe how oracle infrastructure gets valued. The DTCC processed production trades using tokenized US securities, a milestone that arrived as the tokenization market crossed live settlement milestones with trades between major institutions. Chainlink was listed among the technology providers involved, and CCIP expanded to the Canton Network, linking that permissioned ecosystem to Ethereum.
In parallel, ADI Predictstreet—the official prediction market partner of the 2026 FIFA World Cup—adopted Chainlink as its exclusive oracle infrastructure for market resolution and instant payouts. That pulls demand visibility into mid-2026, when the World Cup could draw real user volume from far outside crypto-native circles. With interoperability architectures becoming more concrete, as seen in developments like decentralized computing partnerships that power active Web3 applications, the need for reliable oracle networks connecting off-chain data to on-chain execution grows less theoretical by the month.
What the Exchange Outflow Signal Actually Says A 12% monthly drop in known exchange supply is not a gentle rotation; it is a structural change in available float. When tokens move off exchanges in large clips without an obvious speculative trigger, the simpler explanation is that participants are moving them for reasons other than selling. Whether that involves staking, cold storage, or direct custody for institutional use cases, the effect is the same: the tokens sitting on venues that facilitate liquid exits keep getting scarcer. In the context of a build-up in real-world tokenization ties and cross-chain oracle adoption, the outflow pattern looks more like positioning around utility expansion than a temporary sentiment swing.
The Overhang Nobody Is Talking About Still, several pieces remain unconfirmed. It is not clear what proportion of the outflows went to custody-only wallets versus smart contracts tied to DeFi deployments, and whether those tokens would return quickly if a new fear event hits. Prediction market demand—while promising—is also lumpy, and June’s adoption does not yet guarantee sustained fee generation during the tournament. On the regulatory side, tokenized securities are still in a fragile zone, and any reversal in policy could chill the very infrastructure plays that Chainlink is betting on. The supply contraction is real, but the market is still pricing in a utility ramp that hasn’t fully materialized yet. That gap between off-exchange accumulation and live protocol revenue is where the next move will be decided.

ZHIPU has rebounded 31% from its recent low, with new short positions opened against the trend losing nearly 40% of their principal.
According to Hyperinsight monitoring, ZHIPU on Hyperliquid saw a sharp rebound today to $149.52, with a 31.1% gain from its intraday low to high. As of press time, ZHIPU trades at $146.71. Background: Zhipu (ZHIPU) completed a placement of 19.78 million new H shares on July 13. On July 17, Moonshot AI released its 2.8-trillion-parameter open-source model Kimi K3, which intensified market concerns over China’s large language model competitive landscape, leading to a sustained slump. The stock price halved after the H-share offering, and today it has recouped a portion of those losses. During this rebound, an address starting with 0x52e6 took a contrarian short position early today, with all orders opened at the midpoint of the rally. The address initiated shorts when the stock rose ~12% from its low, adding to positions from $127.5 to $143.2. The position then saw continued gains before noon, leaving only ~$17 of buffer to its liquidation price. It currently holds ZHIPU short positions with 5x isolated margin, worth ~$198,700, with a liquidation price of ~$163.83. The position has an unrealized loss of ~$14,100, a return of ~-38.1%, and has nearly lost 40% of its initial margin. Monitoring shows that, aside from this largest loss-making position, there are 7 new ZHIPU positions exceeding $50,000 opened in the last 2-3 hours during today’s rebound—all short positions, totaling ~$953,200 in value, all currently underwater with a combined unrealized loss of ~$70,800. In contrast, among long positions exceeding $100,000, the average cost is ~$149.66, only ~2% above the current price. Currently, only the largest long position near $159.41 faces real liquidation pressure; the cost lines of the other four long positions have already been reclaimed by the current price.

Coinbase Vice Chair Ryan VanGrack stated on CNBC that the Clarity Act, a bill designed to establish a federal regulatory framework for digital assets, is making significant progress in the US Senate. VanGrack, who previously served at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), emphasized that the legislation is not about reducing oversight, but instead about introducing comprehensive regulation to the crypto sector for the first time.
Clarity Act gains support in the SenateThe Clarity Act, which had already passed in the House last year, now faces its most critical phase in the Senate. Achieving 60 votes remains an essential challenge. Earlier this year, the Senate Banking Committee advanced the bill with a 15-9 vote, including support from two Democratic senators. Lawmakers in the House have urged the Senate to act before the scheduled August recess. The measure has entered a narrow negotiation window as discussions continue over the final terms.
Former President Donald Trump recently voiced support for the legislation, calling on the Senate to approve the bill. Trump, who posted the message on Truth Social, framed the debate around the need for the US to keep pace with China in the digital asset sector.
VanGrack noted that Democratic senators negotiated additions that would bolster consumer protections in the final version of the bill. These include a new framework for addressing illicit finance, closing what he referred to as the “FTX loophole,” implementing safeguards against insider trading, and expanding disclosure requirements.
Across the board, the Democrats have obtained meaningful concessions to make what was already a strong consumer protection bill that much stronger, according to VanGrack.
He also stated that the legislation would maintain the classification framework for digital assets, preserving the current definitions of commodities and securities. The bill is expected to retain the House’s requirements for registration, examination, and oversight by regulatory agencies.
Wall Street and crypto: Convergence and conflictWhen asked about ongoing skepticism from prominent industry figures like JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon, VanGrack highlighted a steady stream of partnerships and investments between traditional financial institutions and crypto firms. He predicted that the line between traditional finance and digital assets will continue to blur, as more entities treat both as part of a unified financial sector.
This trend is evident in moves such as the partnership between JPMorgan, a leading global bank, and Coinbase, a prominent cryptocurrency exchange. JPMorgan has also recently accepted bitcoin as loan collateral and allowed clients to trade digital assets.
Despite these developments, Dimon remains opposed to the Clarity Act and has openly criticized Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, signaling ongoing tension between traditional banking and the emerging crypto industry.
Mini dictionary: JPMorgan is one of the largest banking institutions in the world, actively exploring blockchain technologies and digital asset initiatives while maintaining a conservative stance on full crypto adoption.
Debates on bitcoin’s real-world valueThe conversation also addressed the distinction between blockchain technology and bitcoin as a digital asset. CNBC’s Andrew Ross Sorkin questioned whether blockchain is a legitimate innovation while bitcoin itself is not. VanGrack acknowledged this as a fair question and argued that blockchain technology offers significant benefits such as faster transactions, greater transparency, and 24/7 settlement.
He pointed out that no modern financial system would be designed based on models from the previous century, and cited Citadel Securities’ recent investments in digital assets as evidence of a broader institutional trend toward crypto adoption.
Sorkin raised concerns about customer protections, noting that decentralized technology reduces traditional safeguards such as a clear counterparty in case of problems. VanGrack conceded those issues but highlighted the inefficiencies and risks associated with existing financial systems, including delayed trade reconciliations and increased counterparty risks.
VanGrack stressed that there are still open questions for lawmakers to address, including whether crypto accounts should accrue interest or offer loyalty rewards, which could be decided by new regulations.
He concluded that, “In the absence of clarity, you do not have a federal oversight and framework. So whether you love crypto or hate crypto, you should want the Clarity Act.”

These averages, now acting as support levels, have historically signaled periods when buyers accumulate positions during pullbacks, leading to stronger upward trends in subsequent sessions.
AAVE recovering its daily moving averages and holding them as support has put the token in an accumulation zone, where buyers may increase their positions as market sentiment turns more optimistic.
Despite these technical improvements, many investors remain cautious, reflecting a broader sense of hesitation that has restrained aggressive buying even as signals turn positive. Market observers believe that sustained price action above key moving averages could spark renewed confidence and encourage greater participation.
The Aave protocol has reported that its latest version, Aave v4, is approaching a $300 million deposit milestone. This growth reflects expanding user interest in decentralized lending products and increased adoption across the DeFi ecosystem.
Aave has raised lending and borrowing limits for several supported tokens in response to rising platform demand. These adjustments are designed to facilitate greater activity and manage the influx of new users without causing instability within the protocol.
As liquidity and borrowing on Aave continue to rise, the platform solidifies its position as a leading DeFi player. The positive outlook for AAVE, underpinned by technical signals and user growth, could result in a price breakout if favorable conditions persist.
Future price movements for AAVE will depend on buyers’ willingness to support the token at critical technical thresholds. Sustained accumulation and heightened DeFi activity could power the next rally, especially as ongoing use of Aave v4, increasing liquidity, and rising lending demand continue to bolster market sentiment.
Mini dictionary: Aave is a decentralized, non-custodial lending protocol that allows users to earn interest on deposits and borrow assets against crypto collateral, playing a key role in the DeFi sector.

Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs)(1), which assess the full environmental footprint of the aircraft throughout its lifecycle, are an integral part of Bombardier’s sustainability strategyThe Global 8000 joins Bombardier’s Challenger 650, Challenger 3500, Global 5500, Global 6500 and Global 7500 as the only business jets in the world to carry an EPD(1)(2) – a key aspect of Bombardier’s leadership in lifecycle assessment and disclosureThe Global 8000 EPD further illustrates the steadfast commitment, pride and investment Bombardier is making to ensure it is fully transparent about our product lifecycle while continuing to innovate and identify opportunities for improvement across the value chain
MONTREAL, July 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bombardier today announced that the world’s fastest civilian aircraft, the Global 8000 jet has obtained its Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), joining several other Bombardier aircraft already with EPDs, including the Challenger 650, Challenger 3500, Global 5500, Global 6500, and Global 7500 aircraft (1).
With this important designation, Bombardier becomes the only business jet manufacturer to ever disclose the scientifically-analyzed environmental impact of its in-production aircraft via the publication of EPDs (2). All of Bombardier’s business jets EPDs are publicly available on the company’s website and display, amongst other information, the aircraft CO2 emissions generated at each of the steps of the value chain: from raw material extraction until aircraft end-of-life.
“This is an important milestone for Global 8000, as EPDs transparently disclose the environmental impact they generate. The development of EPDs is in line with Bombardier’s objective to advance sustainable business aviation by making environmentally responsible choices in the full life cycle of aircraft design, from sourcing raw materials right up to assembly and operations. For us, it’s all about continuous improvement in every stage of aircraft development,” said Stephen McCullough, Executive Vice President, Engineering, Product Development and Bombardier Defense. “From its recent speed records, to its stellar performance during demonstration flights at the Farnborough International Airshow, this is yet another important milestone for this incredible aircraft. The Global 8000 offers so much promise for both our civil and defense customers in region due to its incredible performance attributes and mission flexibility.”
At Bombardier, integrating environmental sustainability into the product development function is a fundamental aspect of the process to design state-of-the-art aircraft, and is a core value. Applying a complete life cycle perspective to aircraft design is central to a product’s responsibility strategy.
As the fastest civil aircraft in the skies with a top speed of Mach 0.95 and a range of 8,000 NM(3), the Global 8000 aircraft can enable passengers to fly faster and farther than ever before. With its long-range capabilities, low cabin altitude and exceptionally smooth ride and agile, takeoff and landing performance capabilities, it’s the ideal platform to support customers for the duration of their mission.

Uniswap (UNI) is maintaining a bullish outlook as it tests a pivotal resistance zone, with market participants closely watching for an imminent move. Sustained growth in decentralized exchange (DEX) activity is helping to reinforce user trust in the protocol, underlining its leadership position and building expectations for ongoing ecosystem development.
UNI Price Structure Approaches Key ResistanceUNI last changed hands at $3.50, with a daily trading volume of $136.3 million and a total market capitalization of $2.19 billion. Over the past day, the token has remained stable, while its technical formation and increasing DEX transaction volumes suggest the potential for a bullish reversal.
Technical analyst Crypto With Gopal pointed out that UNI continues to recover within a rising wedge pattern, which is generally characterized by a series of higher highs and higher lows. This pattern reflects persistent buyer activity and heightened interest in the asset.
Although the underlying bullish structure remains in place, analysts observed that price momentum is gradually slowing as UNI approaches notable resistance, which could signal that traders are bracing for a significant shift in market direction.
Impact of Uniswap DEX Volumes and User AdoptionA decisive breakout from the rising wedge—especially if combined with higher trading volumes—would likely reinforce positive momentum and may propel UNI toward the next resistance at $4. Conversely, a pullback could trigger consolidation towards important support levels on the chart.
Maintaining a close watch on technical levels and trading volumes remains critical for traders navigating the current market. Through platforms like CryptoAppsy, which requires no account setup, investors can monitor real-time prices, set smart price alerts, access detailed charts, and manage their multi-currency portfolios on a single screen. This all-in-one solution empowers users to discover newly listed altcoins, filter news by coin, and stay informed with key macroeconomic indicators such as Fed interest rates, enabling swift moves as market opportunities emerge.
Data from MSB Intel showed that Uniswap V4 led the DEX market last week, recording $7.95 billion worth of trades. This marked the protocol’s growing dominance and suggests robust user adoption amid a steadily expanding DeFi sector.
Uniswap V3 also maintained a strong position with $6.99 billion in weekly volume, while PancakeSwap AMM V3 recorded $3.26 billion. The latest rankings highlight fierce competition among top decentralized exchanges, with Uniswap’s ecosystem seen as a primary driver of confidence and sustained user interest.
Uniswap’s consistently high trading volumes signal increasing adoption by users and heightened activity in on-chain trading across the DeFi sector.
Potential Price Scenarios for UNIDespite upward price predictions and steady DEX volume growth, UNI remains in a neutral technical trajectory for now. Broader crypto market sentiment is turning more positive, which could create favorable conditions for a breakout above the rising wedge resistance if strong trading activity persists.
Should UNI manage to overcome this overhead barrier with convincing volume, analysts anticipate a quick push towards higher price targets, strengthening market optimism. If resistance holds, the token could see continued consolidation around key support levels.
The recent acceleration in Uniswap V4’s trade activity is set to play a decisive role in guiding UNI’s price action in the near term.

Gold FAQs Gold has played a key role in human’s history as it has been widely used as a store of value and medium of exchange. Currently, apart from its shine and usage for jewelry, the precious metal is widely seen as a safe-haven asset, meaning that it is considered a good investment during turbulent times. Gold is also widely seen as a hedge against inflation and against depreciating currencies as it doesn’t rely on any specific issuer or government.
Central banks are the biggest Gold holders. In their aim to support their currencies in turbulent times, central banks tend to diversify their reserves and buy Gold to improve the perceived strength of the economy and the currency. High Gold reserves can be a source of trust for a country’s solvency. Central banks added 1,136 tonnes of Gold worth around $70 billion to their reserves in 2022, according to data from the World Gold Council. This is the highest yearly purchase since records began. Central banks from emerging economies such as China, India and Turkey are quickly increasing their Gold reserves.
Gold has an inverse correlation with the US Dollar and US Treasuries, which are both major reserve and safe-haven assets. When the Dollar depreciates, Gold tends to rise, enabling investors and central banks to diversify their assets in turbulent times. Gold is also inversely correlated with risk assets. A rally in the stock market tends to weaken Gold price, while sell-offs in riskier markets tend to favor the precious metal.
The price can move due to a wide range of factors. Geopolitical instability or fears of a deep recession can quickly make Gold price escalate due to its safe-haven status. As a yield-less asset, Gold tends to rise with lower interest rates, while higher cost of money usually weighs down on the yellow metal. Still, most moves depend on how the US Dollar (USD) behaves as the asset is priced in dollars (XAU/USD). A strong Dollar tends to keep the price of Gold controlled, whereas a weaker Dollar is likely to push Gold prices up.

The USD/CAD pair attracts buyers for the second straight day on Tuesday and recovers further from its lowest level since June 17, around the 1.4000 psychological mark touched the previous day. Spot prices advanced to a one-week high during the Asian session, though the intraday move up stalls ahead of the 1.4100 mark amid mixed fundamental cues.
The soft Canadian consumer inflation figures on Monday reaffirmed bets that the Bank of Canada (BoC) will keep interest rates unchanged through the remainder of 2026. This marks a significant divergence in comparison to expectations that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) will raise borrowing costs at least once in 2026 amid concerns about energy-driven inflation. Apart from this, US President Donald Trump's new tariff of 50% on Canadian products undermines the Canadian Dollar (CAD) and acts as a tailwind for the USD/CAD pair.
Meanwhile, hawkish Fed expectations and an escalation of tensions between the US and Iran continue to act as a tailwind for the safe-haven US Dollar (USD). This is seen as another factor supporting the currency pair. That said, elevated oil prices, bolstered by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, hold back traders from placing aggressive bearish bets on the commodity-linked Loonie and cap gains for the USD/CAD pair. Nevertheless, the broader fundamental backdrop suggests that the path of least resistance for spot prices is to the upside.
From a technical perspective, the overnight breakout through the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of the recent pullback from the highest level since April 2025 favors bullish traders. Furthermore, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is turning positive, and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is hovering around 56. Momentum indicators together hint at recovering upside pressure. That said, it will still be prudent to wait for a move beyond the 1.4100 confluence before positioning for any further near-term appreciation.
The said handle comprises the 38.2% Fibo. level and the 200-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) on the 4-hour chart, above which the USD/CAD pair could climb to the 50.0% retracement at 1.4126 and the 61.8% level at 1.4155. On the downside, support emerges at the 23.6% retracement near 1.4059, with a more substantial structural floor at the Fibonacci anchor around 1.4000, where a deeper pullback could pause if selling pressure resumes.

Gold FAQs Gold has played a key role in human’s history as it has been widely used as a store of value and medium of exchange. Currently, apart from its shine and usage for jewelry, the precious metal is widely seen as a safe-haven asset, meaning that it is considered a good investment during turbulent times. Gold is also widely seen as a hedge against inflation and against depreciating currencies as it doesn’t rely on any specific issuer or government.
Central banks are the biggest Gold holders. In their aim to support their currencies in turbulent times, central banks tend to diversify their reserves and buy Gold to improve the perceived strength of the economy and the currency. High Gold reserves can be a source of trust for a country’s solvency. Central banks added 1,136 tonnes of Gold worth around $70 billion to their reserves in 2022, according to data from the World Gold Council. This is the highest yearly purchase since records began. Central banks from emerging economies such as China, India and Turkey are quickly increasing their Gold reserves.
Gold has an inverse correlation with the US Dollar and US Treasuries, which are both major reserve and safe-haven assets. When the Dollar depreciates, Gold tends to rise, enabling investors and central banks to diversify their assets in turbulent times. Gold is also inversely correlated with risk assets. A rally in the stock market tends to weaken Gold price, while sell-offs in riskier markets tend to favor the precious metal.
The price can move due to a wide range of factors. Geopolitical instability or fears of a deep recession can quickly make Gold price escalate due to its safe-haven status. As a yield-less asset, Gold tends to rise with lower interest rates, while higher cost of money usually weighs down on the yellow metal. Still, most moves depend on how the US Dollar (USD) behaves as the asset is priced in dollars (XAU/USD). A strong Dollar tends to keep the price of Gold controlled, whereas a weaker Dollar is likely to push Gold prices up.

Morgan Stanley, Wall Street’s largest wealth manager, has filed for a Solana spot ETF with the lowest sponsor fee in the U.S., at 0.14%. Concurrently, SBI Global Asset Management has launched Japan’s first tokenized equity fund on the Solana blockchain. Despite these significant institutional developments, Solana’s native token, SOL, remains at a 2.5-year low, within the $68–$77 range.
The Morgan Stanley ETF filing includes prominent service providers such as Figment, Galaxy Blockchain Infrastructure, and Coinbase Canada, passing 95% of yield rewards to fund holders. Meanwhile, the SBI-JX fund offers institutional and accredited investors on-chain access to a high-dividend Japanese equity strategy. These moves mark a notable increase in institutional infrastructure around Solana, suggesting a growing adoption of blockchain technology in traditional financial markets.

Despite these advances, market pricing suggests limited immediate impact on Solana’s price, with a consistent risk-off sentiment prevailing. Current market data indicates only a 9% likelihood that Solana will reach $90 by August 1, 2026, reflecting cautious optimism amid broader market conditions.
Key Takeaways Morgan Stanley’s filing of a low-fee Solana ETF and SBI’s launch of a tokenized equity fund on Solana suggest increased institutional interest in the blockchain. Solana’s price remains near multi-year lows, indicating a disconnect between institutional adoption and current market sentiment. Market pricing suggests a low probability of significant short-term price increases for Solana, with a 9% chance of reaching $90 by early August. What to Watch Investors and analysts will be closely monitoring the response of the SEC to Morgan Stanley’s ETF filing, as approval could indicate increased institutional adoption. Additionally, the performance and adoption of the SBI-JX fund in Japan may provide further insights into the viability of tokenized equity products. Market participants will also watch for broader macroeconomic factors and regulatory developments that could impact Solana’s price trajectory.

$PUMP climbs on heavy volumeThe native token of Solana memecoin launchpad Pump.fun tagged a two-month high of $0.002087 on July 20, gaining roughly 13% on the day and around 40% over the prior seven days. Twenty-four-hour trading volume surged more than 400% to approximately $237 million, underlining the breadth of the move rather than a thin-liquidity spike.
$PUMP is the native token of Pump.fun, a Solana-based platform that simplifies the creation and trading of memecoins. Pump.fun is a permissionless token launchpad on Solana that lets anyone create a fully functional memecoin in under sixty seconds for about $2 in fees. Since launching in January 2024, it has powered millions of token launches and billions in trading volume, and has become the epicenter of Solana's memecoin mania.
Ansem reveals a PUMP positionThe catalyst that traders pointed to was a public disclosure from @blknoiz06, the crypto trader widely known as Ansem, who revealed a $PUMP buy and outlined a bull case for the launchpad. Ansem is a crypto trader, investor, and influencer primarily associated with the Solana ecosystem. He built his reputation as an early supporter of Solana and memecoins like Dogwifhat and Bonk, and is widely credited with calling Solana's 2023 rally from around $8 to nearly $300. His commentary often influences short-term market sentiment across Solana assets.
The move comes weeks after Ansem's own namesake token, $ANSEM (The Black Bull), became one of the more talked-about memes in Solana's trenches. A Solana memecoin called The Black Bull (ANSEM) climbed nearly 20,000% in seven days in late June 2026, pushing its market cap past $60 million from a starting point measured in the tens of thousands of dollars. That run reanimated broader interest in Solana's memecoin culture, and Ansem's willingness to now go public with a $PUMP position has added fresh momentum to the launchpad's own token.
Pump.fun itself remains one of the dominant forces in Solana's on-chain economy. According to DefiLlama, Pump.fun's annualized fees were $268.83 million as of April 2026, showing the platform was still generating large fee volume after its earlier peak growth phase. Traders will be watching whether Ansem's endorsement is enough to sustain the rally or whether $PUMP gives back gains as attention rotates to the next narrative.
As with all memecoin-adjacent assets, price moves can reverse sharply. This article is for informational purposes only and is not financial advice.

Tokenized assets on the Solana blockchain have reached a new pinnacle, totaling $5.8 billion in the second quarter of 2026. This figure marks a 114% increase from the previous quarter, continuing a trend of six consecutive quarterly all-time highs. The surge is largely driven by tokenized stocks, which accounted for roughly $4.8 billion of the network’s total tokenized equity activity. Solana’s dominance in institutional real-world asset settlement is further cemented, as it manages over 96% of all tokenized stock trades on blockchain networks. This growth occurs despite a decline in broader decentralized exchange (DEX) spot volume.

Key Takeaways The record-setting $5.8 billion in tokenized assets on Solana suggests robust institutional demand and strengthens its competitive position as a leading blockchain for tokenized stocks. The market pricing for Solana reaching $90 in July reflects an increase in confidence, with YES outcomes rising from 6% to 9% over the past 24 hours. The continuous quarterly growth in tokenized assets on Solana is consistent with scenarios where increased adoption and confidence in Solana’s capabilities could drive further interest and value. What to Watch Watch for any further increases in tokenized asset volumes on Solana, as these could indicate sustained institutional interest. Key developments to monitor include potential regulatory changes or new financial product approvals that could impact Solana’s market positioning. Additionally, movements in Solana’s price, especially if it approaches the $90 mark, could suggest shifts in market confidence and demand dynamics.

Solana (SOL) is retesting a key support level, with market participants monitoring whether this zone will maintain bullish momentum or trigger enhanced selling pressure. As cross-chain inflows into the Solana network increase, investor confidence and activity in the ecosystem appear to be strengthening.
Price action and technical outlookSOL is trading at $76.17, supported by a 24-hour trading volume of $1.8 million and commanding a market capitalization of $44.4 billion. Recent price stability and network growth have contributed to a positive outlook among analysts, with several suggesting the groundwork for a bullish reversal is forming.
Technical analyst Daan Crypto Trades highlighted that Solana is nearing a major high-timeframe technical zone, which could determine its next directional move. Experts emphasized the importance of buyers defending the current level and forming a higher low to keep the bullish structure intact.
If Solana’s support at present levels holds, bulls could target a move toward resistance near $97. Conversely, failing to maintain this range opens the possibility for downside moves, potentially driving the price toward the mid-$60s, where historical buying interest has previously emerged.
Analysts underscored the need for strong buyer defense at the current support to sustain Solana’s bullish market structure, with an eye on reclaiming resistance around $97 if momentum persists.
Rising investor interest and network growthBlockchain monitoring platform Solana Floor reported a net inflow of $26 million into Solana’s blockchain over the past week. This increased capital movement is viewed as renewed investor interest, reflecting the platform’s appeal through rapid transaction speeds, low fees, and an expanding suite of DeFi products and decentralized applications.
Liquidity flowing across chains and into Solana’s ecosystem has also been associated with growing confidence, as regular inflows support market engagement and DeFi activity. Experts anticipate these trends could further boost network participation and contribute to a broadly positive sentiment around the asset.
A steady rise in cross-chain inflows, combined with robust support holding at key technical levels, could reinforce buyer activity and drive SOL closer to higher resistance zones. However, if the current support is breached, increased sell pressure may prompt a notable retracement.
Portfolio management and market toolsAs traders navigate Solana’s volatile price action, access to comprehensive market tools and portfolio management platforms remains a priority. In this context, managing investment positions efficiently demands tracking real-time prices, technical indicators, and key macroeconomic catalysts such as Federal Reserve interest rates. Platforms like CryptoAppsy aim to meet these needs, offering a unified interface where users can follow live prices, detailed charts, and monitor all holdings across multiple currencies.
Through features such as smart price alerts, coin-specific news feeds, and detection of newly listed altcoins, users can stay updated and respond quickly to opportunity. The integration of critical data alongside portfolio management is seen as essential in remaining competitive in volatile markets like Solana’s.
Continuous cross-chain liquidity support and robust market tools could help investors closely track price zones and maximize opportunity in the rapidly evolving Solana ecosystem.

In a notable liquidity event, $500 million in USDC was minted on the Solana blockchain, as reported by @martypartymusic. This issuance, completed in two tranches of $250 million each, significantly boosts the dollar liquidity available on Solana. With Solana currently holding between $7.74 billion and $10 billion in circulating USDC, this new influx represents a substantial addition to its existing stablecoin supply. The move is perceived to align with increased institutional demand for Solana as a favored platform for decentralized finance (DeFi) and other financial applications.

The issuance of such a large amount of USDC on Solana may indicate potential shifts in market dynamics. As a result, there is speculation around its impact on Solana’s price, particularly in relation to the ongoing market question of whether Solana will hit $90 within July. Despite the substantial liquidity input, the source tier of the information could affect the degree of market movement.
Key Takeaways The recent issuance of $500 million USDC on Solana appears to suggest growing institutional interest in the platform. Market pricing suggests that the increased liquidity could be supportive of a positive price movement for Solana, yet source credibility may temper immediate impacts. Current market odds for Solana reaching $90 in July have seen some fluctuations, with a recent increase to 9% from 6% just 24 hours ago. What to Watch Observers will be closely monitoring Solana’s price movements in the coming days to see if the increased liquidity translates into upward momentum. Key indicators include any substantial changes in volume or new institutional announcements that reinforce Solana’s role in DeFi. Additionally, developments related to the broader financial environment, such as regulatory changes or macroeconomic shifts, could also influence market sentiment and Solana’s price trajectory.

Solana has unveiled a new platform that provides detailed, on-chain analytics for tokenized stocks, positioning itself prominently in the evolving landscape of digital asset management. Unlike early tokenized equity pilots, this development transforms tokenized stocks into quantifiable and transparent operations directly recorded on the blockchain.
New analytics platform emergesThe new Solana-based dashboard allows users to explore, filter, and compare tokenized equity market share across various blockchains. Investors and other stakeholders can analyze data by company, asset type, or token issuer, offering a level of insight that has rarely been available in the sector. Visualization tools include stacked horizontal bar charts, doughnut charts, and line graphs.
Users are able to drill down by metric, issuer, and underlying asset, providing customizable views of the tokenized equities ecosystem. This setup contrasts with typical total value locked (TVL) dashboards, offering nuanced analytics that track growth rates of individual issuers in relation to the broader development of digital assets.
The platform’s design responds to growing calls for transparency as more physical financial assets transition to digital forms. This increased openness seeks to reduce knowledge gaps between participants, benefiting institutional investors, funds, and exchanges through reduced informational asymmetry.
Institutions can now assess differences in liquidity, distribution mechanisms, and custody models among issuing platforms more efficiently. Developers are equipped to benchmark issuance activity and monitor evolving trends, while exchanges gain access to comparative data across multiple chains.
Mini dictionary: Tokenized equity, also known as tokenized stocks, refers to digital tokens that represent ownership in traditional company shares but are settled and tracked on a blockchain network, enabling fractional investment and transparent transfer of equity assets.
Solana’s focus on issuer-level and asset-level analytics offers a mature framework that provides not only visibility for traders, but also robust benchmarking and comparison capabilities for institutional market players.
Competitive environment among blockchainsSolana’s launch arrives at a time when other major blockchain networks, including Ethereum, Base, and some Layer 2 solutions, are expanding their own real-world asset (RWA) tokenization offerings. This environment of heightened competition drives innovations in analytics, transparency, and settlement technology.
The dashboard’s ability to compare Solana’s market share directly with rival chains is seen as a key differentiator. Analysts report that issuer- and asset-level data may help set industry standards as tokenized equities gain broader adoption.
The ongoing development of settlement systems, compliance mechanisms, and collaboration with broker-dealers is anticipated to shape the next phase of growth for digital securities. Reliable, standardized data feeds are expected to become vital infrastructure for exchanges and financial institutions in this space.

Industry strategies evolveSolana is reinforcing its position by providing market participants with actionable data for evaluating the performance and structure of tokenized asset issuers. The transition from basic experiments to measurable, on-chain operations marks a shift toward greater institutional adoption as transparency and comparability become industry standards.
As asset tokenization expands, future performance is expected to rely not only on market interest but also on enhancements to exchange features, compliance infrastructure, and settlement solutions. Collaborative initiatives involving broker-dealers are increasingly becoming integral to advancing digital equity trading.

According to GMGN monitoring, Robinhood Chain ecosystem token PONS briefly hit an all-time high market cap of over $39 million, and is now trading at $34 million, up 110% in 24 hours with around $10 million in trading volume over the same period. PONS is the native platform token of Pons, a token-launching platform on Robinhood Chain. The platform supports creating and issuing fixed-supply tokens, uses collected WETH fees to repurchase PONS, and directly burns PONS fees. It is viewed by some community members as the "pump.fun" of Robinhood Chain.

Analysis: Bitcoin's MVRV percentile drops to 5%, a level that historically typically marks the long-term bottom zone.
CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost wrote in a post that after Bitcoin (BTC) fell below $60,000 in February and entered the capitulation zone, its MVRV percentile dropped below 10%, hitting the historically defined undervalued territory. Since June, the metric has shown a similar trend again. Unlike the traditional MVRV indicator, the MVRV percentile measures the current MVRV’s position relative to historical cycles, and by incorporating a historical probability dimension, it better reflects the current market environment. Currently, BTC’s MVRV percentile stands at around 5%, meaning Bitcoin has spent roughly 95% of its historical trading time at higher MVRV levels. This indicates BTC is significantly undervalued relative to its historical evolution, and such phases have historically coincided with long-term bottom regions.
Wrapped Ethereum’s whale transaction count has just breached a level untouched for half a decade. According to the Santiment update, the WETH network recorded 113,000 transactions exceeding $100,000 in the past seven days—the highest since May 2021. The number is not just a statistical curiosity. WETH functions as the plumbing for Ethereum’s DeFi ecosystem, and a spike of this magnitude suggests serious capital is moving through trading, lending, and liquidity rails, not parking idly in cold storage.
The market backdrop makes the signal even harder to dismiss. U.S. spot Ether ETFs have been absorbing accelerated inflows, with BlackRock’s ETH products among the beneficiaries. Over on the L2 frontier, Robinhood Chain launched on July 1 and has been processing substantial DEX volume, using ETH for gas fees. That kind of utility-driven consumption feeds directly into WETH demand, since the wrapped asset is the standard for most DeFi interactions. It is a different kind of demand than the retail-driven mania of 2021.
Institutional and Treasury Activity Aligns Corporates are adding their own weight. Bitmine lifted its Ethereum stack to around 5.8 million ETH, a figure that places it among the protocol’s largest known holders. Bitmine, SharpLink, and Joe Lubin also threw their support behind Ethlabs, a project designed to make Ethereum more palatable for institutional participants. These moves line up with the broader reawakening tracked in on-chain metrics. It is the kind of coordinated signal that makes developer activity leaderboards worth monitoring alongside capital flows—both point toward where conviction is building.
Treasury accumulation, ETF inflows, and L2 gas demand create a multi-layered demand base that was absent during the last WETH whale spike. Back then, euphoric DeFi speculation and NFT minting fueled transaction bursts. Now the driver set includes regulated products, corporate treasuries, and high-throughput L2s. While that doesn’t guarantee price appreciation, it does shift the risk profile of Ethereum’s demand from purely speculative to partially structural.
Uncertainty and What to Watch Whale activity alone is not a buy signal. Santiment itself cautions that none of this “proves a straight-line rally.” Large transaction counts can spike during distribution phases or exchange movements just as easily as during accumulation. The current data does not break down direction—whether whales are moving into DeFi to deploy or moving onto exchanges to reduce exposure is not clear from the top-line metric. Traders should watch for confirmation in exchange netflows and stablecoin movement on Ethereum.
Still, the fact that the spike is occurring alongside growing institutional infrastructure—a trend echoed by recent tokenization milestones—gives the signal more weight than a random outlier. If subsequent weeks show the elevated transaction level holding, it would mark a genuine structural change in how capital flows through Ethereum’s ecosystem, one that has until now been masked by lower activity periods.

A PAC-2 interceptor is launched from a battery in Taiwan. SAM YEH/AFP via Getty Images Lockheed Martin announced a new PAC-3 interceptor on Monday that it said costs less than half the price of a regular Patriot missile.
The PAC-3 Adapted Capability Effector, or ACE, is "built to defeat a wide range of air and missile threats for less than half the cost of a PAC-3 MSE per unit," the defense giant said in a statement.
Described as a "low-cost interceptor," the PAC-3 ACE is designed to work fully with the Patriot missile weapon system and is tailored to counter higher-end threats such as air-breathing, cruise, and ballistic missiles.
Lockheed Martin did not disclose the cost of the PAC-3 ACE, but the regular PAC-3 Missile is priced at about $4.2 million per missile.
Lockheed Martin says the PAC-3 ACE is a new "low-cost interceptor" for the Patriot missile system. Lockheed Martin Global demand for these missiles has soared as the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East have drained the US and its allies' stock of air-defense munitions.
Ukraine, which has been receiving shipments of Patriot interceptors from the West, has repeatedly said this year that its batteries are unable to cope with the sheer scale of Russia's onslaught of missile threats. Iranian drones and missiles, meanwhile, have depleted an estimated one-third of Patriot stockpiles as the US and the Gulf States launched over 1,100 of these interceptors during the conflict.
The expenditure rate so far has sparked concern about whether the US can sustain its Patriot stockpiles in a prolonged campaign or a peer war.
Lockheed Martin produces about 600 PAC-3 MSEs annually, though it plans to continue rapidly ramping up production.
It emphasized production pace and quantity on Monday, saying that the new PAC-3 ACE "speeds up development, testing, and deployment far beyond traditional programs."
The firm said it was collaborating with the European defense industry to produce the PAC-3 ACE, an arrangement already in place for the PAC-3 MSE. Some components of that missile are built in Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, and other NATO countries on the continent.
The older PAC-2 missile is built by Raytheon, which produces about 200 interceptors a year. It plans to partner with German firm MBDA to boost production to about 600 missiles a year in a new Bavarian plant.

Gold (XAU/USD) regains positive traction following the previous day's two-way price moves, though it struggles to capitalize on the move and trades below the $4,050 level during the Asian session on Tuesday. Despite a cycle of tit-for-tat strikes between the US and Iran, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Sunday that the US was still open to holding talks with Iran, keeping hopes alive for a potential diplomatic resolution to the conflict. This holds back the US Dollar (USD) bulls from placing fresh bets, which, in turn, is seen as a key factor supporting the commodity.
Investors, however, remain worried about energy-driven inflation, which could force the US Federal Reserve (Fed) to stick to its hawkish stance and support the USD. In fact, restricted traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has caused significant disruptions to global oil supplies. Adding to this, Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis announced a maritime blockade against Saudi Arabia. This should continue to act as a tailwind for crude oil prices, stoking inflation fears and adding to bets of higher-for-longer US interest rates. According to the CME Group's FedWatch Tool, traders are pricing in around an 83% probability that the Fed will raise borrowing costs by the end of this year. The outlook, in turn, validates the near-term bullish USD undertone and warrants caution before placing aggressive bullish bets on the non-yielding Gold.
Meanwhile, the recent escalation of US-Iran tensions could further benefit the Greenback's reserve currency status and contribute to capping the precious metal. In fact, the US military has carried out a 10th consecutive night of attacks on Iran, with the White House saying the strikes will continue until President Donald Trump decides otherwise. Iran, on the other hand, said that it had launched retaliatory strikes at US military bases and allied infrastructure across the Gulf. This raises the risk of a broader regional conflict, which could lend additional support to the USD. Hence, it will be prudent to wait for strong follow-through buying before confirming that Gold has formed a near-term bottom and positioning for any meaningful appreciation in the absence of any relevant market-moving economic releases on Tuesday.
XAU/USD 4-hour chart
Gold looks to build on 23.6% Fibo. and descending trendline resistance breakout momentumFrom a technical perspective, acceptance above the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of the downfall from the July swing high and a breakout through a short-term descending trendline favor the XAU/USD bulls. Adding to this, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) both lean positive, suggesting that bearish pressure is softening.
Despite the constructive setup, Gold keeps the near-term bias tilted bearish while below the 100-period simple moving average (SMA) on the 4-hour chart and a series of Fibonacci retracements. Hence, any subsequent move up is likely to confront an initial hurdle around the 38.2% Fibo. level at $4,052.78, followed by the 100-period SMA at $4,067.29 and the 50.0% retracement at $4,081.40.
The 61.8% level at $4,110.01 should act as a stronger barrier if bulls attempt a further recovery. On the downside, immediate support is seen at the 23.6% retracement and trendline break zone around $4,017, while a more substantial floor emerges at the Fibonacci anchor near $3,960.14, where sellers would likely pause if the current pullback resumes.

Gold FAQs Gold has played a key role in human’s history as it has been widely used as a store of value and medium of exchange. Currently, apart from its shine and usage for jewelry, the precious metal is widely seen as a safe-haven asset, meaning that it is considered a good investment during turbulent times. Gold is also widely seen as a hedge against inflation and against depreciating currencies as it doesn’t rely on any specific issuer or government.
Central banks are the biggest Gold holders. In their aim to support their currencies in turbulent times, central banks tend to diversify their reserves and buy Gold to improve the perceived strength of the economy and the currency. High Gold reserves can be a source of trust for a country’s solvency. Central banks added 1,136 tonnes of Gold worth around $70 billion to their reserves in 2022, according to data from the World Gold Council. This is the highest yearly purchase since records began. Central banks from emerging economies such as China, India and Turkey are quickly increasing their Gold reserves.
Gold has an inverse correlation with the US Dollar and US Treasuries, which are both major reserve and safe-haven assets. When the Dollar depreciates, Gold tends to rise, enabling investors and central banks to diversify their assets in turbulent times. Gold is also inversely correlated with risk assets. A rally in the stock market tends to weaken Gold price, while sell-offs in riskier markets tend to favor the precious metal.
The price can move due to a wide range of factors. Geopolitical instability or fears of a deep recession can quickly make Gold price escalate due to its safe-haven status. As a yield-less asset, Gold tends to rise with lower interest rates, while higher cost of money usually weighs down on the yellow metal. Still, most moves depend on how the US Dollar (USD) behaves as the asset is priced in dollars (XAU/USD). A strong Dollar tends to keep the price of Gold controlled, whereas a weaker Dollar is likely to push Gold prices up.
The EUR/USD pair is seen consolidating during the Asian session on Tuesday and trading just above the 1.1400 mark, or a four-day low touched the previous day. Market participants seem hesitant and keenly await the highly-anticipated European Central Bank (ECB) meeting on Thursday before positioning for the next leg of a directional move.
In the meantime, energy-driven inflation fears bolster US Federal Reserve (Fed) rate hike bets and support the US Dollar (USD) amid escalating US-Iran tensions. This could act as a headwind for the EUR/USD pair, warranting caution before confirming that the recent pullback from a four-week high, touched last Wednesday, has run its course.
Spot prices keep a bearish tone following last week's failure near the 1.1480-1.1485 region, which coincides with the 200-period Simple Moving Average (SMA). Moreover, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator remains below zero with a negative reading, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 40.95 stays under the midline.
Momentum indicators together suggest waning bullish momentum and reinforce the downside bias while the EUR/USD pair remains capped beneath the 200-period SMA. This, in turn, backs the case for an eventual break below the 1.1400 round figure and a further decline towards retesting the year-to-date low, around the 1.1325 region, touched on June 24.
On the topside, initial resistance is located at the 200-period SMA around 1.1480. A sustained move above this level is needed to ease the current bearish pressure and open the way for a more constructive outlook. Nevertheless, the sub-50 RSI and negative MACD suggest that the path of least resistance for the EUR/USD pair remains to the downside.

EUR/USD 4-hour chart
Economic Indicator ECB Press Conference Following the European Central Bank’s (ECB) economic policy decision, the ECB President gives a press conference regarding monetary policy. The president’s comments may influence the volatility of the Euro (EUR) and determine a short-term positive or negative trend. If the president adopts a hawkish tone it is considered bullish for the EUR, whereas if the tone is dovish the result is usually bearish for the Euro.
British Pound struggles as traders evaluate BoE policy, UK political developmentsGBP/USD steadies after three days of losses, trading around 1.3430 during the Asian hours on Tuesday. After recently surging toward two-month highs near 1.3550, the pair has moderated as foreign exchange traders evaluate shifting monetary policies between the Bank of England (BoE) and the US Federal Reserve (Fed) alongside political developments in the United Kingdom (UK).
From a macroeconomic perspective, central bank policy divergence remains the central pillar steering the exchange rate. While market participants anticipate eventual rate adjustments on both sides of the Atlantic, subtle differences in inflation stickiness and labor market strength determine relative yield appeal.

British Pound Sterling greets a new Prime Minister with a three-day slideGBP/USD trades down around 0.17% on Monday and is on track for a third consecutive daily decline, fading from short of 1.3500 in the London morning to a New York probe just above the 1.3400 handle before steadying between the two. The slide unwinds the last of the mid-July rebound's momentum and confirms that Cable's recovery off the summer base has run out of road well before the levels that matter.
The rejection zone tells the larger story, because 1.3550 has graduated from a line in the sand into a hard wall: it capped the pair in mid-June, repelled last week's push, and now marks the floor of a full-depth resistance zone running up to the next ceiling at 1.3650. With the daily Stochastic Relative Strength Index pushing 90, the market picked the top of an overbought bounce to hand Downing Street to a new tenant. Read more...
British Pound slips as Burnham fiscal pledge fails to lift SterlingThe Pound Sterling reverses course and turns negative on the day as Andy Burnham is named the new Prime Minister and reassures that he will stick to the fiscal rules set by the former Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, who just resigned. The GBP/USD trades at 1.3425, after hitting a daily high of 1.3481.
Sentiment turned upbeat, even though hostilities in the Middle East continued. Attacks between the US and Iran keep tensions high, keeping investors worried about a disruption in Oil supply, which the US Crude Oil benchmark, WTI so far up 21% in the month. This reignited speculation that the Federal Reserve (Fed) could increase rates by 25 basis points toward the end of the year. Read more...
The AUD/JPY cross trades in positive territory around 113.85 during the early European session on Tuesday. The Australian Dollar (AUD) strengthens against the Japanese Yen (JPY) due to the interest rate differential between the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) and the Bank of Japan (BoJ). However, fears of possible intervention from Japanese authorities might cap the upside for the cross.
After delivering three consecutive 25 basis points (bps) hikes earlier this year, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) decided to hold the Official Cash Rate (OCR) steady at 4.35% at its June policy meeting.
Economists warned that rising oil and fuel prices could cement a fourth interest rate rise this year if US President Donald Trump’s renewed conflict with Iran is not resolved within a week.
Traders have raised their bets on an RBA rate hike since airstrikes resumed last week, now pricing in nearly a 23% odds of a hike in August and more than a 50% chance by December, according to the Guardian.
In the daily chart, AUD/JPY holds a bullish near-term bias as it remains above the 100-day simple moving average (SMA) and the Bollinger Bands’ 20-day middle band, keeping the broader uptrend intact. Price is advancing toward the Bollinger upper band, while the Relative Strength Index (14) around 60 suggests firm but not overstretched upside momentum.
On the topside, immediate resistance aligns with the Bollinger Bands’ upper band at 114.10. The next hurdle is located at the May 13 high of 114.74, en route to the 115.00 psychological level.
On the downside, initial support is seen at the July 20 low of 113.10. The next contention level to watch is the 100-day SMA at 112.75, followed by the Bollinger middle band at 112.55, with a deeper cushion coming in at the lower band near 111.05 should a corrective pullback develop.

Australian Dollar FAQs One of the most significant factors for the Australian Dollar (AUD) is the level of interest rates set by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA). Because Australia is a resource-rich country another key driver is the price of its biggest export, Iron Ore. The health of the Chinese economy, its largest trading partner, is a factor, as well as inflation in Australia, its growth rate and Trade Balance. Market sentiment – whether investors are taking on more risky assets (risk-on) or seeking safe-havens (risk-off) – is also a factor, with risk-on positive for AUD.
The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) influences the Australian Dollar (AUD) by setting the level of interest rates that Australian banks can lend to each other. This influences the level of interest rates in the economy as a whole. The main goal of the RBA is to maintain a stable inflation rate of 2-3% by adjusting interest rates up or down. Relatively high interest rates compared to other major central banks support the AUD, and the opposite for relatively low. The RBA can also use quantitative easing and tightening to influence credit conditions, with the former AUD-negative and the latter AUD-positive.
China is Australia’s largest trading partner so the health of the Chinese economy is a major influence on the value of the Australian Dollar (AUD). When the Chinese economy is doing well it purchases more raw materials, goods and services from Australia, lifting demand for the AUD, and pushing up its value. The opposite is the case when the Chinese economy is not growing as fast as expected. Positive or negative surprises in Chinese growth data, therefore, often have a direct impact on the Australian Dollar and its pairs.
Iron Ore is Australia’s largest export, accounting for $118 billion a year according to data from 2021, with China as its primary destination. The price of Iron Ore, therefore, can be a driver of the Australian Dollar. Generally, if the price of Iron Ore rises, AUD also goes up, as aggregate demand for the currency increases. The opposite is the case if the price of Iron Ore falls. Higher Iron Ore prices also tend to result in a greater likelihood of a positive Trade Balance for Australia, which is also positive of the AUD.
The Trade Balance, which is the difference between what a country earns from its exports versus what it pays for its imports, is another factor that can influence the value of the Australian Dollar. If Australia produces highly sought after exports, then its currency will gain in value purely from the surplus demand created from foreign buyers seeking to purchase its exports versus what it spends to purchase imports. Therefore, a positive net Trade Balance strengthens the AUD, with the opposite effect if the Trade Balance is negative.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles.

Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company.

In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Futu was not in compliance with the requirements of the China Securities Regulatory Commission (the "CSRC"), including because Futu continued to conduct securities business, public fund sales business and futures business in mainland China without obtaining the requisite licenses or approval; (2) as a result, Futu was reasonably likely to face regulatory penalties, including the disgorgement of ill-gotten gains and other penalties; (3) as a result of the foregoing, Futu's financial results were overstated; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, defendants' positive statements about Futu's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
