Meanwhile, banks can find a good value proposition to start with blockchain without getting into cryptocurrencies.

Key interest rate unchanged / USD/JPY started a day with a bearish sentiment

The Fed left its key interest rate unchanged Wednesday before Donald Trump’s big announcement about the next Federal Reserve Chair.

On the economic calendar…

On the economic calendar today, we have German Unemployment Change (OCT) at 8:55 AM GMT, followed by the Bank of England Bank Rate decision at 12: PM. The markets are expecting the BOE to raise the rates to 0.50% from 0.25%. At 12:30 PM the US will release their weekly jobless report, so together with all the other political and economic storms, we could expect a fair bit of volatility across the board, which could both create excellent trading opportunities as well as high risk for day traders.

January 2, 2026 No Comments

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.

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.
