Crypto stocks look set for more gains on Tuesday as Bitcoin remains in stubbornly bullish mode. The cryptocurrency was steadfast in its refusal to break lower last week despite a risk-off debacle across most other assets. The divergence in assets may be at play as in previous risk-off meltdowns Bitcoin has been dragged lower. Not this time though. Tuesday had a bullish move from Bitcoin, which is up 5% and above $20,000 this morning. That should add to the bullish sentiment for crypto stocks.

COIN, RIOT, MSTR stock news

Monday saw the beginning of the crypto recovery with COIN stock up. MSTR stock closed at $200.18 for a gain of over 4%, while RIOT and MARA were also higher. Let's not forget others in the space such as BBIG, which also closed higher. There is little to report on an individual level for any of the above stocks. Tuesday could and should see more gains based on the move in Bitcoin. The failure to break below $18,600 meant a test of ultimate lows at $17,590 was unlikely. The next test is the trendline at $21,400 and then $22,800, which is the high from September 13.

MSTR, COIN, RIOT, MARA stock forecast

The outlook is intricately linked to the performance of Bitcoin and risk assets. Currently, on Tuesday we may have dual tailwinds from an equity rally and a Bitcoin rally.

Coinbase stock is attempting a short-term bottoming formation but is failing to put in place any fresh significant highs. This is a sign of a weak rally, and a break of the last high at $84.58 is needed.

A similar picture in MSTR: a weak rally so far until $362 is broken.

AUD/USD stays defensive below 0.7150 after Chinese data

AUD/USD remains on the back foot below 0.7150 in the Asian session on Tuesday, close to an over three-week low touched the previous day. US bond yields hold near multi-year highs ahead of the FOMC meeting and oil-driven inflation risks, supporting the US Dollar and weighing on the currency pair. Mixed Chinese activity data for August also fail to inspire the Aussie.

USD/JPY extends gains toward 155.00 amid USD resurgence

USD/JPY keeps pushing higher toward 155.00 early Tuesday, looking for more upside, as traders await the FOMC and BoJ meetings this week. Meanwhile, Fed rate-hike bets and oil-driven inflation risks keep US bond yields near multi-year highs, supporting the US Dollar and the pair. That said, a more hawkish repricing of the BoJ normalization path might continue to underpin the Japanese Yen and could limit USD/JPY's upside. .

Dogecoin clings to EMA support as recovery lacks conviction

Dogecoin (DOGE) hovers around $0.083 at the time of writing on Tuesday after finding support around the key support zone the previous day. Quiet institutional demand, along with mixed derivatives positioning, suggests fading interest in the dog-themed meme coin.

AI, markets and a more complicated world

The week started with upward pressure on energy prices, US 10-year yield breaching the 5% mark and very uncomfortable questions regarding AI, and this time, it was not about the circular deals, financing capabilities, investor greed, earnings, the impact of AI on different sectors and businesses, the parabolic rise in market prices, PE ratios and so on.

Venezuela’s 65-billion-barrel Oil deal could reshape America’s inflation fight

The United States (US) has secured unprecedented access to part of Venezuela’s vast Oil reserves. The timing is particularly significant as the war with Iran is disrupting Middle Eastern supplies, keeping energy prices elevated and reviving concerns about inflation.
