FX option expiries for 11 August 10am New York cut

There isn't much to take note of as any larger expiries are seen some distance away from current spot prices currently.The only one decently close is AUD/USD at 0.7000, though price action is more centered around testing its 100-day moving average at 0.7085 at the moment. That is the key technical level to watch but […]

FX option expiries for 9 August 10am New York cut

There are a couple to take note of, as highlighted in bold.The ones for EUR/USD are likely to keep price action more sticky and anchored around current levels, as traders are also seeing little appetite so far today amid the narrow ranges. It's one of those summer lull kind of days in Europe and that […]

FX option expiries for 5 August 10am New York cut

There are a couple to take note of for the day, as highlighted in bold.Let's dive into the ones for EUR/USD first. The expiries at 1.0200 may help to limit any downside push before rolling off as they also hold close to the 100 and 200-hour moving averages at 1.0195-10 at the moment. Meanwhile, the […]

FX option expiries for 4 August 10am New York cut

There are a number of large ones to take note of, as highlighted in bold.The ones for EUR/USD is likely to keep price action more anchored around current levels with the lower end of the expiries residing at 1.0100 - which is roughly where the lower end of the recent range for the pair is […]

FX option expiries for 3 August 10am New York cut

Just one to take note of, as highlighted in bold. That being for EUR/USD at 1.0195-00 and the expiries are likely to act as a price cap alongside the 100 and 200-hour moving averages - seen at 1.0198-12 respectively at the moment.Besides that, there isn't anything else significant on the board for today. But there […]

FX option expiries for 1 August 10am New York cut

Nothing major on the board for today, so the technicals will continue to do the talking. That should be the case in the next few days as well before larger expiries are only seen on Thursday and Friday. The latter in particular will draw more attention with the US non-farm payrolls release also in focus.For […]

FX option expiries for 28 July 10am New York cut

Just a couple to take note of, as highlighted in bold.That said, they might not be of much significance given that the expiries are trading some ways off from the current spot price. In the case of EUR/USD, price action remains somewhat capped by key resistance from the 50.0 Fib retracement level at 1.0283. That […]

FX option expiries for 27 July 10am New York cut

There are a couple of large ones, mainly for EUR/USD as highlighted in bold.The pair is holding above 1.0100 for now after the retreat yesterday but isn't showing much poise to really move strongly as we have the Fed still to come later in the day. As such, the expiries on either side at 1.0100 […]

FX option expiries for 26 July 10am New York cut

There isn't any major expiries of note for the day. However, there will be some large ones tomorrow between 1.0200 to 1.0250 for EUR/USD. That might keep price action more muted in and around said region below key resistance from the 50.0 Fib retracement level at 1.0283 before we get to the Fed.Besides that, there […]

FX option expiries for 25 July 10am New York cut

There are a couple to take note of for today, as highlighted in bold.The one for EUR/USD is likely to act as a cap to price action, if we do see some upside push in the pair that is. Last week's highs around 1.0269-78 will also be a short-term resistance point to watch alongside the […]

FX option expiries for 21 July 10am New York cut

Just one to take note of on the day, as highlighted in bold.That being for EUR/USD at 1.0200 but the euro will see plenty of focus on other key risk events as outlined here. The ECB decision in particular will be a key factor, so the expiries may not garner too much attention. A softer […]

FX option expiries for 19 July 10am New York cut

There are a couple of large ones to take note of for today, as highlighted in bold.The first being for EUR/USD at 1.0150-55, so that could see price action more anchored around said region after the rejection at 1.0200 and the 38.2 Fib retracement level at 1.0205 yesterday.Then, there is a significantly huge one for […]

FX option expiries for 18 July 10am New York cut

There isn't much on the board to really take note of for today. There is a large one for EUR/USD near parity but recent sentiment and price action suggests that it shouldn't really come into play. The 100-hour moving average for the pair at 1.0043 will be a technical point of interest before getting back […]

FX option expiries for 15 July 10am New York cut

Just one to take note of, as highlighted in bold.That being for USD/CAD near 1.3100 as the pair looks to hold a technical break to the upside, with the previous resistance region around 1.3076-83 being broken yesterday. The latter level is the more relevant one in my view on the daily chart but the expiries […]

FX option expiries for 14 July 10am New York cut

Just a couple to take note of, as highlighted in bold.The first being for USD/JPY at 139.00 as we see buyers look to push for a larger breakout towards the 140.00 mark. With the pair now up 0.9% to 138.60, we could see the 139.00 level offer up some technical and psychological resistance alongside the […]

FX option expiries for 13 July 10am New York cut

There is just one to take note of, as highlighted in bold. That being for USD/CAD at 1.3000, so it could act as a bit of a magnet to draw price action to be more sticky around the figure level before we get to the Bank of Canada meeting decision later today.Besides that, there isn't […]

FX option expiries for 12 July 10am New York cut

There's just one notable expiry on the board for today, as highlighted in bold.That being for USD/JPY at 137.60, though the level doesn't really offer up too much technical significance. But it could help to limit any price gains in the session ahead, although I would argue that a broad dollar bid will override things […]

FX option expiries for 11 July 10am New York cut

There isn't much on the board to take note of for today as seen above.The only large ones are seen in EUR/USD but they are quite some distance away from the spot price to matter all too much. Adding to that, there are some technical layers as well before getting there with the 100-hour moving […]

FX option expiries for the 10am New York cut on Friday, 8 July 2022 (not much!)

Adidas Joins Rival Nike in Metaverse with New NFT Collection

December 20, 2021 | Posted by admin

Into the Metaverse

Adidas Originals will officially enter the metaverse with the release of its first NFT (Non-Fungible Token) collection on Friday, just a few days after Nike announced a big deal in the space.

Adidas Originals purchased a Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT, named “Indigo Herz,” joining one of the most fervent communities in the NFT space. Adidas also said that it has acquired a plot of virtual land inside The Sandbox, which it is working to fill with exclusive content and experiences. The brand’s digital assets will be secured in partnership with Coinbase, a leading crypto-exchange.

Coinbase is listing for US$100 billion on NASDAQ

April 14, 2021 | Posted by admin

Instead of following the traditional initial public offering (IPO) route, Coinbase plans to post its shares straight on the NASDAQ exchange via a direct listing, a technique pioneered by big names like Spotify and Palantir in recent years. Whereas an IPO involves a company creating new shares and having an underwriter that buys them for a set price and then sells them to the market, in a direct listing a company sells existing shares and has no underwriter.

Coinbase was founded in 2012 by Brian Armstrong, a former engineer at Airbnb, and Fred Ehrsam, who was a trader at Goldman Sachs. Their mission was to make investing and transacting in cryptocurrencies easier, more efficient and fairer. The company has since risen to become the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the US. Even though there are numerous other exchanges around the world with considerably larger trading volumes, including Binance, Huobi and OKEx, Coinbase’s growth has been incredible lately.
