We’re seeing broad-based momentum across equities, crypto, and commodities — and today’s session covered it all.

  • Nasdaq & S&P 500 just hit fresh All-Time Highs, powered by tech earnings, AI optimism, and soft Fed expectations. The equity rally is accelerating — but where do we go from here?

  • XRP and ETH are ripping, with XRP leading the charge after breaking multi-month resistance. ETH followed closely, fueled by institutional interest and bullish crypto flows.

  • Gold is once again gearing up for a breakout, holding the $3,300 zone with eyes now set on the $3,400 target, as rate cut odds and macro uncertainty support the bullish case.

In this market forecast, we covered:

  • Key breakout levels for S&P 500, Nasdaq, XRP, ETH, and Gold.

  • What institutional momentum is signaling across crypto and equities.

  • Macro drivers behind the surge — and what could trigger the next move.
