Video: Yes to risk appetite

From the city that loves to trade, My name is Kiana Danial, a Persian member of the tribe, an Electrical Engineering graduate from Japan, and the founder of Invest Diva right here in New York, and this, is your forex trading analysis for the week, using our unique metaphor of dancing currency pairs on the forex dance floor.

European investors started Monday by testing risk appetite in the Euro-zone market, and their positive moves continued till Tuesday.  Tuesday’s New York session starts with the US Core Durable Goods Orders at 1:30 PM GMT followed by the US Conference Board Consumer Confidence at 3 PM.  Wednesday’s Asian session starts with New Zealand ANZ Business Confidence at 1 am GMT. Not much going on the the London session and the real volatility should kick off at 7 PM with the US FOMC Statement, followed by Reserve Bank of New Zealand Rate Statement at 9 PM.

 Mr. Aussie remains confused and unable to sort out his new trend against Ms. USA as they continue to dance in a range below the Ichimoku cloud but above a key support level   at 0.8670. A break above the 23% Fibonacci level would be needed for confirmation of a new uptrend, while a break below 0.8670 could open doors for more drops with 0.8600 as first alternative target. 

EUR/USD remains above a key support level but below the Ichimoku cloud, as the market is testing investors risk appetite in the Euro-zone.  Our outlook remains bearish with 1.2495 and 1.2260 as targets, however a break above 1.2890 would change our outlook to bullish with 1.3100 as first alternative target. 

Ms. USA pulled back a bit on Monday against Mr. Japanese Yen after breaking above the 23% Fibonacci level on Friday.  The pair continues to dance above the Ichimoku cloud, and only a break below the 50% Fibonacci level at 104.320 would change our outlook to bearish.

Bitcoin Drops Entering 2026: Is It Still Worth Investing? The Answer Most Investors Miss

Bitcoin has entered 2026 under pressure, with prices pulling back after a volatile period that left many investors questioning whether the opportunity has passed. Headlines are once again split between fear and optimism, with some calling the recent drop a warning sign and others viewing it as a healthy reset.

Unlike speculative assets that rely on constant growth stories, Bitcoin’s relevance continues to rest on its role as a scarce, decentralised digital asset that operates outside traditional financial systems. The key question for investors now is not whether Bitcoin will remain volatile – but whether this moment represents risk, opportunity, or something most investors misunderstand.

Western Digital Corporation (WDC) has been on a tear, its stock price soaring over 270% year-to-date as of early December 2025.

This massive growth isn’t just hype; it’s fueled by a perfect storm of events, including the strategic spin-off of its flash business, SanDisk, and an insatiable global demand for data storage driven by the AI revolution.

As a now “pure-play” Hard Disk Drive (HDD) manufacturer, WDC is uniquely positioned as the landlord for the internet’s exploding data. But with such a meteoric rise, is there still room for growth, or is the stock overheated?
