President-elect Donald Trump's promises to impose tariffs on trading partners and possible retaliation could destabilize markets such as oil, metals and agriculture as traders also look to stimulus from China to boost consumption, the bank said in its 2025 outlook.

"We expect much of the mix to decline in 2025, with supply and demand conditions relatively comfortable," Warren Patterson and Eva Manthey said in the report. "A possible escalation in trade tensions poses a downside risk as markets wait to see when and how China's support measures will impact commodity markets."

Although Trump is unlikely to affect U.S. oil production, the commodity is expected to come under pressure due to a sharp increase in non-OPEC supply.ING predicts the average Brent price will fall to $71 a barrel next year from around $74 currently. Meanwhile, new U.S. LNG export facilities could boost domestic demand and prices, allowing Europe to more easily offset supplies from Russia, leading to lower natural gas prices in the region in the event of a normal winter.

At the same time, ING predicts that gold will continue to set records due to geopolitical concerns and the average price will be $2,760 per ounce in 2025.

On Thursday, futures for the yellow metal are trading slightly lower, testing the $2,750 an ounce level.The spot price is $2,718 at 10:02 Moscow time.

The bulk of the buying will come from central banks looking to diversify their foreign exchange reserves, and heightened trade and geopolitical tensions could increase gold's safe-haven appeal.

The outlook for industrial metals is bleaker, with trade factors, possible changes in Biden's climate laws and Chinese demand likely to play a role.Copper will average $8,900 a ton in 2025, up from over $9,200 currently. Grains are likely to be a key target in any disputes, while weather concerns continue to weigh on agricultural commodities and cocoa and coffee prices are expected to fluctuate further next year.

The most convenient charting option for any asset on Forex is Japanese candlesticks.The information content and clarity of the data provided about the market situation have long enjoyed great popularity among all traders.It is the analysis of Japanese candlesticks that makes it possible to make forecasts about further price movements.

This technical analysis tool helps the trader identify and understand the sentiment and psychology of the market.

What are Japanese candlesticks

The technical analysis of candlesticks helps any trader to correctly read asset charts and correctly determine support and resistance levels. They combine the type of price line with a type of interval chart. The chart perfectly displays the price fluctuations of all assets over a certain period of time.

For a more complete understanding of the tool, you should take a closer look at its components:

• body, a rectangle;
• Shadow – a line emanating from the body.

These two components visually resemble a candle. Each of them shows price changes over a certain period of time. Candlestick chart analysis is a great help in making market forecasts. In addition, in this case they also do without computer indicators. They can also predict the reaction of bidders to certain events.

A significant advantage of such a chart is that the candle is the equivalent of several indicators: opening and closing times, information about the dominance of sellers or buyers in the market. Each candlestick element corresponds to the time frame in which it is displayed. At the time interval M1, one candle shows the price change in a minute, at 5M – in 5 minutes, at 15M – in 15 minutesetc.

In addition, candlestick elements represent various graphic figures on the screen of the trading terminal, which are used by traders to open (close) buy or sell orders. Therefore, a Japanese candlestick chart greatly simplifies a comprehensive study of any market. By recognizing this or that pattern in time, the trader has the opportunity to draw up a trading plan and, in accordance with his points, make trades and make a profit.

Information of Japanese candlesticks in the chart

How to read Japanese candlesticks on a chart?This question is invariably asked by novice traders.

The information provided by candles at all time periods is similar to:

• Opening offer for a specific period (Open);
• Final offer for the same period (Close);
• Minimum price for the period (Low);
• Maximum price for the period (High).

The figure shows that the opening and closing quotes frame the candle element. It is usually called the body. The thin threads that run up and down the body are the shadow, sometimes called the wick.

It is customary to distinguish between bullish (rising) and bearish (falling) versions of a candle. In the first case, its formation occurs from bottom to top. Here, the opening price serves as the lower limit, the closing price serves as the upper limit. Typically, such candles on the MT4 terminal chart are colorless or green. A bearish candle is the exact opposite of a bullish candle. Formed from top to bottom, colored red or black. The opening priceis the upper limit, the closing price is the lower limit.

In some cases, the body of the Japanese candle is missing. This happens when the opening price is equal to the closing price. Sometimes there are missing wicks in the candle element. Here all the parameters: opening quotes, closing quotes, minimum and maximum are equal to each other.

Reading Japanese Candles

Japanese candlesticks, how to read them correctly?The study of such charts involves identifying graphic patterns in the form of combinations of candlestick elements.There are a whole range of similar models represented by several elements, and each of them has a specific name: “Hammer”, “Hanged Man”, “Shooting Star”, “Doji”, “Tombstone”, “Harami” andothers.

Each of these patterns signals the moment of market entry. There are trend continuation models and trend reversal models. The latter represent the vast majority.

When analyzing Japanese candlesticks in trading, you should consider important features:

• all research is best done on a daily time frame. At shorter time intervals, the reliability of the signals emanating from candlestick patterns decreases. The smaller the time frame, the lower the reliability;
• The forecast of long-term trends is carried out in monthly and weekly time intervals;
• after the appearance of reversal patterns, the trend does not always change. Sometimes there is a trend correction or flattening. Therefore, the reversal model is more likely to predict a change in the current market situation.

This is explained by the balance between sellers and buyers. The more orders are opened in one direction, the higher the probability of a reversal. Market makers closely monitor the market and, with a certain number of trading participants, “lower” the price, forcing it to reverse, correct or stop.

• Patterns with price differences are more reliable.
• Each combination of candlesticks must be confirmed. For example, if a bullish pattern has formed in the market, the subsequent candlestick should indicate market expectations.

Representation of market psychology in candlesticks

How to analyze Japanese candlesticks?The answer to this question helps to understand the psychology of the market, that is, the intentions of the majority of sellers and buyers.Even beginners can, with a little effort, learn to analyze candlestick elements to predict further trend movements.

One of the most important parameters of a candle is the size of its body. Its length indicates the pressure of the bull or bear market. If the body of a large candle (compared to neighboring candles) has a white (green) color, it means that a bullish mood prevails and buyers have gained the upper hand over sellers. The confident victory of sellers is reflected in a large dark (red) body. Its insignificant size indicates an approximate equality of power between buyers and sellers. This means a rollback(Correction) of the prevailing trend or a further downward movement is very likely. In such cases, the trend “freezes” for a while before the next increase or decrease occurs.

When a bullish candle appears on the trading terminal screen, formed after a long downward trend, there is every reason to assume that an uptrend is emerging. And the closing of a bullish candle above the resistance line indicates that the market has strengthened at a new price level. However, such a statement is made only after the completion of the formation of the candle element. To view this process in more detail, you should go to a shorter time frameswitch.

The tail (wick, often called the pin bar) emanating from the body reflects the mood of trading participants, or more precisely, its change during the formation of the candle itself. A pin bar is often a harbinger of a change in the prevailing trend or its continuation after a corresponding price decline. Long wicks tend to form near a strongly tested but not broken level.

When the battle between buyers and sellers reaches its peak, dojis with long pin bars appear on the screen. This indicates the indecision of market participants - against the background of active trading, there is no result.

Candle Mood

This concept was proposed by Lance Begs, a famous Forex trader and price action algorithm specialist.

Sentiment depends on the position of the closing price relative to the previous candlestick element. It is customary to distinguish between several types of sentiments:

• bullish.Closing price above last high;
• bearish.Close the period below the previous low;
• neutral.Last candle close in the area of the previous candle.

The individual types can be high, low and medium. This is the intensity of the mood. It is determined depending on the place in the candle area where it was closed.

Candlestick chart research

Japanese candlesticks, whose technical analysis is in no way comparable to other graphical market research, can provide the trader with a lot of useful information about upcoming market changes.

Candle bodies are of primary importance and their shadows are of secondary importance.Wicks are considered market noise, but should be taken into account in every trade.

Graphic studies like this take certain basic principles into account:

• long bodies with short wicks form the basis for the development of a new trend. This is a pronounced superiority of buyers over sellers or vice versa, the sellers versus the buyers. Typically, the longest candlestick bodies are at the beginning and end of a trend. If the order was opened following a trend, the appearance of long body elements is a signal to close the deal;

• Short body, long wick candlesticks often appear during a trend reversal. The best sign of this is an element in which one shadow is extremely longer than the other shadow and the body. This is how the battle between bulls and bears is depicted, in which one initially won and in the end the championship went to the other;
• Bodies and wicks of smaller size appear when sideways trends occur. At this moment, you can open orders with small stop losses (stop loss).

Conclusions

The use of Japanese candlesticks is characterized by both positive aspects and certain difficulties. The reliability of these elements, unlike computer indicators, allows studying the price itself, and not mathematical calculations. Candles are universal. They apply to asset charts of all markets - currency, raw materials, stocks, etc.

However, novice traders have some difficulties in mastering it. It takes some effort and time to thoroughly understand candlestick analysis. But the results of your work will definitely not be in vain and will help you make good money.

As the XAG/USD chart shows, the price of an ounce of silver reached $83 this morning for the first time in history, but was followed by an unusually strong downward move.

Why did the price of silver fall?

On December 24th, we not only described the fundamentals, but also pointed out that the market is vulnerable to strong price movements due to reduced liquidity during the holidays.

Now that the ATR indicator has risen sharply and confirmed our assumption, let's look at the important details on the chart that reflect bearish signs

Technical analysis of the XAG/USD chart

The previously constructed ascending channel (shown in orange) maintained the tilt angle while:

→ The rise in silver prices on December 26 (represented by the arrow) with a bullish gap extended the channel up by 2x.

→ At the beginning of today's trading, the price broke into the zone above the upper boundary with another bullish gap (represented by the second arrow).

It is important to note that:

→ A sharp rise in silver prices to historic highs may have been triggered by a lack of liquidity among sellers as financial markets opened in the final week of the year.

→ The aggressive nature of the subsequent decline to $75 appears to be a clear sign of a change in market sentiment.

→ Wide candles indicate the activity of “smart money”.

Given the above, it is reasonable to assume that large long positions are busy taking profits after the price of silver has risen by around 160% since the beginning of 2025. If this hypothesis is correct, we could see a breakdown of the lower boundary of the constructed orange channel and a subsequent decline that could occur in the first few days of 2026.

The impetus was the news that a US court has approved the second lawsuit brought by users who lost money trading Memcoins launched via PumpFun. The plaintiffs claim that there was an unfair insider game in the token launches: individual participants allegedly had access to purchases earlier than others and completed transactions faster and at a better price, while retail investors got in later and suffered losses after sharp crasheshad to.

The main accusation is that this situation was not an accident. We are talking about the possible use of features of the Solana infrastructure - the order of transaction processing, prioritization and operation of validators. It was these mechanisms that gave insiders an advantage in the adoption of Memcoins, making losses inevitable for retail users. The discussion quickly shifted from PumpFun to the Solana blockchain itself, as the case file attempts toLinking the actions of individual market participants not only to the platform, but also to the underlying logic of the network. Should such a dispute arise, the reputation of the entire ecosystem is at risk.

Additional pressure on investor sentiment comes from the token ownership structure. It is estimated that between 45% and 55% of SOL's circulating supply is in the hands of insiders, early investors, venture capital funds and Solana affiliateswould fall to single digits, including levels around $5.Proponents of such scenarios remind us that in times of crisis the crypto market responds not to technology or indicators, but to trust, and its loss has led to rapid collapses more than once.

At the same time, from a legal perspective, the matter is only in its early stages. The court did not recognize the guilt of both parties and only continued to consider the updated lawsuit. It may take months or years before an actual trial takes place. At the moment, conversations about “Solan for 5” mostly look like FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt), but this time they actually contain a rather threatening oneBase.

• Ales Michl published his opinion on Bitcoin amid the LIBRA scandal.
• The head of the CNB believes that central banks should study the technology on which it is based.
• He distinguished Bitcoin from other crypto assets and advised them to carefully weigh all risks when investing.

The head of the Czech National Bank (CNB), Ales Michl, urged not to equate Bitcoin with other crypto assets. His comment came against the backdrop of the scandal surrounding the LIBRA token and the involvement of Argentine President Javier Miley in its promotion.

Recall that Michl made a proposal to invest part of the CNB reserves in the first cryptocurrency. In his opinion, counterparties in the banking sector need to study the technology on which it was created and adapt to new market conditions.

The Board has accepted this proposal. The regulator will analyze the potential benefits of investing part of the central bank's reserves in Bitcoin and then make a final decision.

Michl's initiative, however, was met with criticism, even though he admitted that Bitcoin remains an extremely volatile and risky asset. In particular, European Central Bank Chairwoman Christine Lagarde said that none of the Eurozone banks would invest in the first cryptocurrency.

In his note, Michl emphasized that the crypto asset market is still in its infancy and will experience ups and downs. However, this does not apply to the first cryptocurrency:

"Bitcoin is a completely different story. It should not be equated with other crypto assets. We as central bankers must study it and research the technology on which it is based. Learning Bitcoin will not harm us – on the contrary, it will strengthen us.”

In the publication, Michl did not specify what ups and downs he was talking about. However, his comment came against the backdrop of a scandal surrounding the memcoin LIBRA, which was launched with the support of Argentine President Javier Miley.

Miley is threatened with impeachment. In addition, information appeared in the press that the creators of the project paid his sister to promote Memcoin. According to media reports, the latter wants to resign.

The rapid growth of AAVE caught the attention of members of the crypto community on cryptocurrencies. Since the beginning of December, the price of the coin has increased by more than 90%

We tell you why AAVE is growing and what to expect from the cryptocurrency in the near future.

What's wrong with AAVE

Since the beginning of December 2024, the cryptocurrency AAVE has risen by more than 90%. At the time of writing this review, the coin is updating its local maximum at about $390. At the same time, the coin is still far from the absolute maximum recorded on May 19, 2021 at $666. At the time of writing, AAVE is trading 42% below itsPeak.

AAVE was last traded at current levels in October 2021. The growth in December thus allowed the cryptocurrency to be updated in three years at most.

Why AAVE is growing – reasons

Cryptocurrency is growing due to the news that the team of Donald Trump's crypto project World Liberty Financial (WLFI) is buying AAVE with funds from the sale of the native token.$1 million was used to purchase a coin from the project's walletprovided.

Recall that World Liberty Financial is a DeFi project, with the help of which the supporters of the victorious politician in the 2024 presidential elections plan to solve the problem of unavailability of banking instruments by providing their decentralized analogues. The platform is based on the tools of Aave Labs.

Another driver for the cryptocurrency's growth could be whales' interest in the project. Last week there were 3,310 large coin transactions worth over $100,000, which is the highest weekly value since 2022.

Whales' interest in the coin also confirms the growth of their AAVE balance.

Lookonchain writes that interest in cryptocurrencies was also driven by the activities of Mike Novogratz' crypto company Galaxy Digital Holdings Ltd.is displayed.

There is another factor driving the cryptocurrency's growth.On 13. December the project team announced the upcoming launch of the fourth version of the protocol.

Forecast AAVE

The prospects for further growth of AAVE are indicated by changes in the average age of invested funds in US dollars (MDIA). The metric measures the average age of all tokens on the blockchain, weighted by the average purchase price.

When MDIA rises, it suggests that the majority of cryptocurrency holders are storing their assets in wallets, which can prevent the price from rising. In contrast, a decline in MDIA signals that previously dormant tokens are coming back into circulation, which often indicates increased market activity and a possible acceleration in price growth.

On-chain data shows that MDIA AAVE has dropped significantly.If the trend continues, the price of the altcoin could exceed $400. Whale activity can support the implementation of the forecast.

On the Internet you can find much bolder predictions.Many believe that the support of the cryptocurrency by the Trump crypto project, as well as the interest of whales in the token, can push its price to a level above $ 1,000.
