I agree with you guys And even overall actually Juventus is very good this season even though the start was a little bad. they only suffered 2 defeats from a total of 15 matches this season. Even in the match against Cremonese I don't think it will be a tough challenge for Juventus. and I'm sure Juventus can get full points.
Even though Cremonese is playing at home, Juventus will still be the favourites. After their last defeat to Milan, Juventus have actually improved and managed to win all matches for Serie A. It is hoped that Juventus will be able to maintain this good form against Cremonese in the next match, and the chances of victory for Juventus are certainly higher.
I'm sure Juventus will win and it looks like there are no surprises we can expect. Meanwhile, I think Milan is also very likely to get full points against Salernitana. Milan must avoid defeat and keep closer to Napoli, but if Milan lose then it is very likely that they will be overtaken by Juventus, who are currently 2 points apart.
after a long holiday everything is possible but for Juventus who have been running on a positive trend I hope and believe they will continue to be able to continue.
many points behind Napoli at the top of the standings make big Serie A teams like Juventus and AC Milan have to continue to play optimally so as not to lose points in every match.
At this time the top-flight competition in Serie A is starting to get fierce, the teams that are in the top 4 of the temporary standings have issued and are running in a good trend, so I think that for now there won't be many more surprises that will happen.

Serie A is a very competitive league. The position of the parties may change at any time. Now Napoli is at the top of the table. And Napoli is about 8 points ahead of Milan. Even then, we cannot say for sure that Napoli will be the champions of this season. Napoli is the most likely champion. However, they must maintain the consistency of their performance. If there is no consistency in performance, Napoli will have to leave the top spot in the table.

Juventus and AC Milan are playing very well. I forget the last time Juventus lost a game. The performance of the team is now stable. I think Juventus can qualify for Champions League. But they do not have a strong squad to win the title.

Can we all stop talking about players and focus on teams? I still wonder about Monaco, for example, will they get a refresh?
World Cup passed and Ligue 1 will resume in few days so better to concentrate on that indeed!
Monaco transfer rumors aren't that many nor important as I could find although they have enough money to spend to recruit few players. So far they aren't in top level comparing to the previous season although they are trying to recover and advance.
Their match will be against Auxerre, a team that is trying to avoid the relegation zone so it is obvious why Monaco is favorite here.

Monaco is not playing well this season. Out of 15 matches, they have won only 8 matches. Winning the title is not their goal, but they will try to climb to second place in the table. But their squad is not strong enough. Especially the performance of their defenders is poor. They conceded 21 goals in 15 matches. Monaco will definitely need to tighten up their defence if they want to finish second in the table. The performance of attacking players is quite decent. A solid defence will stabilize Monaco's performance. However, it is very difficult to make predictions about Ligue 1 teams. The performance of most teams in Ligue 1 has been erratic.

The market values of players at the World Cup have risen. Kolo Muani +7 million euros, would it have been 10 million if he had hit the last shot in the game? Maybe. Jude Bellingham +10 million euros to 110 million and Bukayo Saka +10 million to 100 million euros. But there also losers, for example Kalvin Phillips of Manchester City, although he had a strong team with England. He lost 5 million euros and is now worth 45 million, this is partly due to injury. That means the upcoming transfers can bring new records again. Mbappe is now worth 180 million euros.

This was bound to happen. And even though this is the market price for the players, I highly doubt that the clubs are going to sell them for only this much. I am also not going to be surprised if mbappe is sold for more than €200 million.

If I remember correctly, Real Madrid was ready to give €200 million for mbappe. So it is not going to be surprising at all even if he is sold for €250 million at this point, especially after the performance from him in the World Cup. And the price of a bunch of players from France should go up because they performed really well in the final.

This is going to be important game for the Tottenham because now they are having tough competition for the stay into top four Newcastle United already at third and Manchester United is also improving day by day which will create challenge in case of lost most chances they could be dropped in near future with few other teams are having eye to touch their spot no doubt Harry Kane could be still in dilemma even he is professional and understand the realities but surely now playing after this missed penalty is not easy with having challenging game.
Brentford are improving their performance, and they will be not easy team for Tottenham even most chances visitors could be in better position but still a gape and many other circumstances are having their own impact on players as well.
This week can be an opportunity for Tottenham to take back the third position from Newcastle as well. Because Newcastle don't have an easy task to perform. They are going to play against Leicester away. We all have seen how much Leicester started to improve their performance recently. While they are on rise they wouldn't give in against Newcastle that easy.
Newcastle are of course in a wonderful condition but we will see if they will be able to show the same quality performance as of now as well. They would surely stumble at a point after a great winning streak. Maybe it could be this game.
I don't see Newcastle dropping points anytime soon because with the kind of players they have and the kind of team spirit in the camp at the moment,their main target is to remain in the top four or better still,win the premier league.Anything is possible in football,they might be waiting for just a slide from Arsenal to close up the gap they have between them,Manchester city and Arsenal.
Although I know this will be impossible to do but we can't just rule it out,whereas Tothenham are behind Newcastle and want to overtake them by all means,but with the way I'm seeing things the season, Newcastle might finish above Totthenham,Liverpool,and Chelsea.

Newcastle's performances this season have surprised everyone. No one expected this team to finish third in the points table. And perhaps only one match they have lost this season. There is no star player in the team. However, their players are consistently performing well. The bonding between the players is very strong. This is why they have been able to maintain consistency.
Newcastle is aiming for a top-four finish. I think they will try to strengthen their squad in the winter transfer. As they now have a lot of money, and their performance is now much more stable compared to previous seasons. So they will probably try to add the now talented star players to the squad.

Ronaldo has joined Al Nassr Club. I think it went pretty well for him. He will not be disgraced there like Manchester United. He will be given the opportunity to play in every match of the team and the focus of the team will be only on him, due to which Ronaldo's career is expected to be successful.
Has Ronaldo officially joined Al Nassr?
Because as far as I know Ronaldo had previously confirmed that he only wanted to join a club that plays in the champions league, but if in the end Ronaldo wants to join Al Nassr of course this indicates that it seems that there are no big clubs that are interested in Ronaldo anymore at this time, but in on the other hand I think maybe the big salary factor is the reason Ronaldo wants to join Al Nassr and maybe he wants to enjoy end of his career before he really retires from football.

Joining Al Nassr now makes the most sense for Ronaldo. He is now about 38 years old. Now he should give up his dream of winning the Champions League. Premier League or Serie A leagues are very competitive. It is difficult for Ronaldo to perform well in these competitive leagues. Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr is ready to pay Ronaldo huge wages. Ronaldo should join Al Nassr and retire from Al Nassr. Let's see what Ronaldo decides.

Napoli team lost the second friendly game in a row and this time against lille, even if its a friendly game it seems there is a problem that need fixing, when the serie A resume there is an important game for them and its a crucial one if they perform this poorly they will certainly lose to inter, but still so far they did an amazing job especially after changing many players and most of them are inexperienced and did not play in such high level before.
Napoli lost 4-1 which is bad for their team, although the match was a friendly then a victory in this match would have boosted the confidence of all the players in the team. Which greatly encouraged the players in the subsequent matches.
Napoli's difficulties in the test match made Napoli only get goals in extra time, of course that made a bad record for them, where Napoli is a club above the LOSC club, this is unacceptable considering that the competitive season will start again, considering that Napoli is at the top of the Sire A League this season, if that continues to happen then Napoli will likely lose their position at the top of the standings.

I'm happy Napoli lost against Lille. Because Napoli has been defeated by a huge margin in this match. And by being defeated, they realized their mistakes very well. The teams got a long break for the World Cup. So the bonding between team players may have weakened a bit. In the midst of losing this match, Napoli's coach was able to identify the weaknesses of his team. And I think they can correct their mistakes and strengthen themselves before the start of the season. Napoli will not lose the top spot in Serie A so quickly.

Can you imagine that Real Madrid are signing Haaland and Mbappe both in the future and building a literally dream team?  Grin
Just imagining this is very difficult even with their current financial condition and I think this is the same when one club wants to bring Messi and Ronaldo together lol.

But it doesn't look like it's going to happen because regardless of the circumstances the two players Haaland and Mbappe are obviously very difficult to put together, although it is possible but it takes money and a lot of effort and I'm not sure about that.
The problem was not always about money but it's about whether the team like city and PSG wanna let one of their stars to leave from their club to the real madrid or not. I think that mbappe is much more fit with real madrid's scheme rather than haaland.
Haaland is a typical finishing striker which was always waiting for the golden momentum while mbappe can do so many things. Don't you hear a rumour about real madrid interested with mbappe again?
If that will be true and madrid will be paying a lot to the PSG for him. Mbappe is still young enough. He can also become one of best player in the world like ronaldo and messi.
The rumour of Mbape going to Real Madrid is not going to materialised because PSG won't let Mbape out of their team despite the amount ofoney that Madrid will tend to offer.I have a very strong believer about that.
Mbape is definitely going to win the Ballon d'or very soon,and with what I saw at the world cup,I don't see any reason why Mbape won't win the best player in the world in the next one or two seasons to come.
Neymar was initially the person everybody thought he had that star to become the next world best,but pride and arrogance didnt let that happened,rather it is Mbape that's stealing the show.Every body loves him because of his hardwork and dedication towards learning the things he hadn't known.

For the last few years, we have been hearing rumours that Mbappe is interested in moving to Real Madrid. And very soon we will see Mbappe in Madrid. But Mbappe has disappointed Madrid fans every time. and extended his contract with PSG. And I don't think Mbappe will be in the Madrid team for the next few years.
Mbappe is now in the best form of his career. He played very well in the World Cup. His performance with the PSG team is also very good. Mbappe has a good chance of winning the Ballon d'Or this season if he doesn't lose form or get injured. However, Haaland and Messi will continue to fight for the Ballon d'Or.

This is the best opportunity to buy btc especially as a small investors.
I think they way scams are emerging  day to day it's really hard to find the best position to buy bitcoin, In previous day when Bitcoin confirm it's support above 20k some financial advisor told that it's best opportunity to buy bitcoin because Bitcoin is about to reach or hit it's bottom, but as a result after scams of exchanges Bitcoin dump. So my main point is that Bitcoin still didn't hit it's bottom, in my view Bitcoin will not pump till he hit it's bottom which is around 12k according to my technical analysis.
It's just my taught may be it's wrong..

When you invest in bitcoin you should not listen to any financial advisor or analyst, you better do your own research. We all know that accurately predicting the bitcoin price is impossible, don't try to do the impossible. Bitcoin is a long term investment if bitcoin prices keep falling more as you buy in, if you don't have more money to keep buying, there is nothing to worry about as bitcoin will rise again in the long term. For me, bitcoin below 18k is the right price to buy in the long term, although the price may fall further or rise, but who knows?
709  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Small Scale Businesses should accept Cryptocurrencies as a medium of payment on: December 21, 2022, 02:19:41 PM

As a small business owner, I too have started accepting crypto payments with CapitalWallet as I really believe in the supremacy of cryptocurrencies as payment method. Getting paid in crypto not only helps in lowering transaction costs but businesses can also attract new customers who are willing to pay in crypto.

As long as you live in a country where cryptocurrency is legal, you can use cryptocurrency for your small business. I'm not sure it will help you reduce transaction costs as it depends on the coin you use, but I think it would be an idea to attract new customers. I really like this idea, it's casual, but for crypto users, it's a stimulus to buy from your business.

But you also need to take into account the volatility of crypto. For example, bitcoin is very volatile, and can go up 10% or down 10% in a short time, so you need to be careful if you don't want your profits to drop.

no need to wait 40 years it seems that Ronaldo game yesterday was also not visible when he was young maybe his performance has decreased even the way he plays is not as good as it used to be when he was young and maybe it's because of his current age, I think even though he continued his career in football to 40 years old not sure he will get minutes to play long on the pitch at any club
If comparing with Ibrahimovic then it is very different. Looking at their way of playing is also very different. Ibrahimovic didn't put out much skill to get past opponents and he made the most of the ball finishing. Unlike Ronaldo, in his youth he ran a lot and passed opponents, and at the moment it is not very noticeable because his physique does not support it. So it feels like Ibrahimovic is kind of better in old age than Ronaldo. Of course, Ronaldo should be able to model Ibrahimovic's way of playing, not moving much but having the best finishing. At the moment it is best, because improving abilities will already not be able to, because of its age.

Ibrahimovic and Ronaldo should not be compared. Ibrahimovic hasn't retired yet. He is still with the AC Milan squad. Firstly I would say Ibrahimovic can motivate players. As a result, the players become more confident. As a result their overall performance is better. On the other hand, Ibrahimovic's wages are not as high as Ronaldo's. So even if teams like Milan keep Ibrahimovic in their squad, there are very few clubs who can afford Ronaldo's wages. Also, Ibra and Ronaldo's style of play is completely different.

I wouldn't worry about that because basically Newcastle haven't proven themselves better when the opponents are stronger on paper. But if Newcastle can beat Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Tottenham, Chelsea and Arsenal then I will be worried. But now I wouldn't really worry about them even if the point gap was only 2.
Even so, I think Manchester City also needs to maintain its performance considering the season will be very busy. Manchester City can also be overtaken by other teams including Newcastle and Tottenham. So they have to be really careful about those bad possibilities.
Newcastle have proved that they can compete favorably with other top flight teams in the English Premier league. The played a 3-3 draw against Manchester City, 0-0 draw with Manchester United. They beat Tottenham 2-1 and won Chelsea 1-0. How else do you want them to prove their ability. Newcastle have one of the best teams currently and the management of the club has the financial power to attract and buy more quality players.  
I believe Newcastle even have a better chance of performing better than other top four clubs because they are not competing for any continental trophy which means that their players can just focus on winning the premiership. 
I think Newcastle should focus more on clinching top 4 position of the league this season, then the next target should be winning the league after beefing up their squad with more quality players in the summer transfer window, if they wanted to focus on winning the league this season they might ended up not finishing on a good position, EPL is a very tough and competitive league, it's better a club set target and meet up with the target for that season rather than chase shadows, I am not undermining the strength and quality of the club, based on past records a newly well funded clubs do perform well after one or two seasons in the league.

The way Newcastle have been performing this season is truly amazing. They are third in the table. And perhaps they have only lost one match this season. Newcastle have no star players. Due to the good bond between the team players, they have been able to maintain the consistency of their performance. But I would say if Newcastle want to qualify for the Champions League they need to strengthen their squad. The team should bring star players. Newcastle's owner is very rich. But we don't know yet whether they are interested in spending money to strengthen the team.

It is reported that Manchester United are interested in the French national team player Antoine Griezmann, yes they want Griezmann again after he performed well and brought France to the final, even though in the final France was defeated by Argentina in a penalty shootout which ended a few hours ago. Even though Antoine Griezmann got a new role at the World Cup, he succeeded in playing his new role. Actually, this is not the first time that Manchester United are interested in this player, because a few years ago Manchester United also tried to bring in this player, but Griezmann prefers to stay in La Liga.
I didn't think I'd say this, but a move to United looks like an obvious win for Griezmann. Firstly, he is likely to be able to increase his salary, as United have been extremely generous in their attempts to regain their positions lately. Secondly, leaving the stagnant Atlético, which in the coming years will most likely continue to degrade under the leadership of Simeone, is practically leaving a sinking ship.

Atlético Madrid's situation is not good now. Since the management of Atlético Madrid is not interested in strengthening their squad now, it can be assumed that the performance of Atlético Madrid will further decline. And no wonder they failed to qualify for the Champions League. And so it is a good decision for Griezmann to sign with Manchester United. The condition of the United team is now unstable. But they continue to try to stabilize themselves gradually. They are adding talented players to their squad. It is hoped that the team will be more stable and strong in the coming season.

Today, Galatasaray will play another friendly match. Galatasaray will face Lazio today in Antalya. Last year, these two teams were in the same group in the Europa League and Galatasaray finished the group leader. Galatasaray's starting XI against Lazio: Okan, Boey, Emin, Abdulkerim, Van Aanholt, Özgür Baran Aksaka, Fredrik Midtsjř, Mata, Yusuf, Kerem, Barış. Also SUBS: Jankat, Metehan, Emirhan, Kazımcan, Beknaz, Mertens.

Galatasaray lost to Lazio in the match. Baran Aksaka was injured while doing warm-up exercises before the match and did not play in the match. Metehan Baltacı played instead of Baran Aksaka in the match. Galatasaray lost the match, but all young football players had the chance to play in this match. I think it was a productive match to test the young players and give them confidence. Such matches are very important in order to keep the performance of the players alive during the break due to the World Cup. We have come to the end of the World Cup and the League will start soon. With such matches, it is very important for the players to be prepared for the league tempo.

Galatasaray not only lost against Lazio, in these friendly games they have only lost:

Galatasaray 0 - 1 Rayo Vallecano

Galatasaray 3 - 4 Villareal ( in this game Galatasaray were lucky to have benefited from a penalty, if it wasn't for the penalty they would have lost 2 - 4 )

Galatasaray 2 - 2 Adana (they also couldn't beat adana, interesting that in this game Adana was the first to score and Galatasaray was chasing a draw)

Galatasaray 1 - 2 Lazio ( in this game Galatasaray scored first and very early, just after 4 minutes, it even looked like they would win, but they lost )

Galatasaray 2 - 1 Toulouse ( in this game Toulouse scored first and Galatasaray was lucky to tie thanks to the penalty kick and then Galatasaray scored the second goal )

Galatasaray is bad in friendlies, I wonder how it will be in league

Galatasaray is not successful in friendly matches. They are not performing well against the big teams. Friendly matches are not important though. Galatasaray should now learn from their mistakes in friendly matches, and correct the mistakes. If Galatasaray cannot correct their mistakes, they will not be able to maintain their dominance in the Super Lig. And very soon they will lose the second place in the points table. If Galatasaray's goal is to win the title, they will have to perform very carefully in every match and must be consistent.

For sure, this summer football transfer will be amazing. A lot of football star waiting for changing their destination, Hazard, Dea ga, Morata even James are eagerly waiting for summer transfer. Some big fish like Real Madrid, Chelsea, ManU and Mancity are already started negotiating to grip their desirable players.
It's really going to be a very busy one,because most players came back from the world cup with injuries and their clubs will be looking forward to ensuring they have a strong squad that will be able to compete with other clubs.Teams like Arsenal will be looking at replacing their injured players like Gabriel Jesus who got injured during one of their matches.It is also rumoured that Chelsea have acquired the services of Nkunku from Liepzig.The summer is just about to start and teams have started sealing different deals to keep them strong in the competition.

With the World Cup almost over, I think now is the time to think about bringing in players for all of them. They should not be late in this matter. Otherwise, they are most likely to miss the chance of getting the players that they actually want.

I am very interested in seeing which player Arsenal will bring in. They will need a reliable striker if they want to stay at the top of the table. Chelsea have already acquired Nkunku. The rumor is no longer a rumor. Players who are injured are most likely to cause problems for their respective clubs. And I think that is likely to mean that this transfer market is going to be very busy for that reason.

Senegal team was considered as the only strong team in Africa in this World Cup. Had Sadio Mane not been injured, we might have seen a better performance from Senegal. Even then, Senegal performed well enough without Sadio Mane.
Morocco's performance in this World Cup has surprised everyone. No one expected Morocco to qualify for the semi-finals. Their gameplay and team work is amazing. I think Morocco has a chance to win today's match against Croatia. But there is no doubt that the match will be competitive.
This year's world cup is a lot difficult and competitive judging from the surprising results we have seen. Although if Sadio Mane was present for the Senegalese team it would have been a lot better because he would strengthen the team's attack and make them solid going forward but his absence came as a huge blow demoralized the team's confidence going into the competition, he would have done everything possible to boost the team's confidence.

However, Sadio Mane was not with the Senegal squad. However, Senegal managed to qualify for the knockout rounds. They performed very well in the group stage. But they returned home after losing in the knockout round against mighty England. If Sadio Mane had stayed with the squad, Senegal's players would have been more confident and their attack would have been stronger. Senegal is unfortunate not to have Sadio Mane with the squad for the World Cup.

The entire world would have looks more worse than what we are seeing and the government would have caused too much problem to the suffering of the masses. Mist of us that are into cryptocurrency can attest to this because when we started, we were not as rich or comfortable as we are now but since the introduction of Bitcoin into the market, we have finally or partial escaped penury which would have worse the whole matter.

The government are there working as if they care about our existence but thanks to Satoshi Nakamoto that introduced Bitcoin to the world so that we can make a decentralized transactions without intervention of the government.

Bitcoin is not as big as you say, without bitcoin, the world is still the same, neither bad nor better, bitcoin is still not big enough or important enough to impact society. Our world has 8 billion people, and the number of people who know about bitcoin and use it only stops at a few hundred million people. That means more than 7 billion people are still living a normal life without bitcoin, bitcoin is helping many people to have a better life but not all.
But I hope in the future, bitcoin will be more known and widely used because bitcoin is really good for us from investment to convenient payment method that bitcoin brings.

Both teams have some good players but Modric is world class plus his experience. I'd say Croatia will easily control the midfield and create many chances.
lol just typing this 2 fast goals in  Grin
if you look at the way the two teams play, they are very strong, Morocco replied to Croatia's goal quickly until the score is now a draw, the two teams failed to reach the final, at least they wanted to be the third winner of this world cup, even though they failed in the semifinals yesterday, I think Morocco will win if it happens extra time and penalty shootout
The Moroccan players are playing very well and when they get the ball under their control they are very quick to get to the Croatia goal but they unfortunately cannot complete the goal. Their performance looks like they are going to beat Croatia . The Croatian players are very smart but they have a hard time recognizing the ball from the Moroccan players, the Moroccan players are controlling the ball very well.
both Croatia and Morocco are doing well in field can't just imagine how the both teams are playing, they are playing with confidence. But from what I am watching Croatia are having more chances that Morocco which they have they have utilized the chances by scoring 2 goals with four attempt shorts on goal while Morocco is having 1goal, which lead the match to be 2-1.looking at favorite country to win the third place I will choose  Croatia despite their just beginning second half.

Croatia led 2-1 at the end of the first half. I all know that the defense is very strong in both teams. And so it will be very difficult for Morocco to score another goal. But the players of both the teams continued their efforts. Both teams are performing very well. So far we have seen only defensive gameplay from the Moroccan team. But today they are not playing defensively. They are counter-attacking a lot. However, the players of Morocco are not able to score because of Croatia's experienced defenders.

LOL.. when I first saw this thread, not even in my wildest dreams I imagined that it will stay alive up to the very end of the competition. To be fair, I wasn't expecting any of the African teams to progress from the group stage. And now we have Morocco who will play tomorrow against Croatia for the 3rd place. And it is going to benefit them financially as well. If they end up with the 3rd price, they will receive $27 million. Even in case they lose, there is no need to get disappointed. The fourth placed team will be getting $25 million from the FIFA.
African teams have always been underrated because of their inability to lift the world cup trophy so it's not a new thing if no one expected the African teams to get to this point. I was expecting Senegal and Ghane to get to the knockout stage but the injury of Mane deter a lot of fans including me who were expecting a good performance from Senegal here we are today celebrating the progress of Morocco who did not just make it to the knock out stage but went ahead to reach the semifinals with a brilliant display in the field of play.
The possibility of Morocco winning against the Croatian team tomorrow is high because following their performance in the competition I don't see Croatia who was poor in performance against Argentina defeating them but even though they lose tomorrow the money is nothing to be compared with the honor and pride they have given Africa but I believe Morocco will win tomorrow against Croatia.
I think the African nations are getting better and improving immensely. In the old days it was even more difficult to get this far in a world cup competition but now things are a lot better. I think there is hope for a better future for the African nations. Senegal, Ghana and now Morocco have shown that it is possible, hopefully Nigeria will be part of this list in the near future. I hope Morocco can make history against Croatia tomorrow, it will be so exciting to witness Morocco finish 2nd runner up in the 2022 world cup.

Senegal team was considered as the only strong team in Africa in this World Cup. Had Sadio Mane not been injured, we might have seen a better performance from Senegal. Even then, Senegal performed well enough without Sadio Mane.
Morocco's performance in this World Cup has surprised everyone. No one expected Morocco to qualify for the semi-finals. Their gameplay and team work is amazing. I think Morocco has a chance to win today's match against Croatia. But there is no doubt that the match will be competitive.

Update: The Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 0.5% just now, and laid out the carpet for a slower pace of hikes ahead, but signaled that rates will have to move higher than previously projected as inflation remains well above target.

BTC and stocks reacted not so great even tho 50bps was expected by everyone Sad

One day it looks like they’re going to slow their cuts, the next it sounds like they’re going to continue for some time… This is why you can’t be a trader and are better off taking a long term approach. I personally think that we aren’t going to see rates go as high enough to cause a massive crash from here, and we appear to be nearing those levels, so I think any rate hikes in 2023 will be quarter point hikes and probably only in the first half of the year.
Correct. However, powell was saying he will do anything he can to get the inflation down to 2%. But Im sure he got no idea and will change his statement anytime as he keeps doing each time.

BTC traders should get rid of him and stop reacting to fed too much hopefully. Up only mode 2023! Smiley

There are so many different factors that affect the market, you cannot rely on the Fed announcement to predict the direction of bitcoin. The news that the Fed cut interest rates is not big enough compared to what the market is facing with Fuds on Binance. People care more about this than the Fed rate, if Binance really collapses, nothing will save the market. In addition, bitcoin is unpredictable, the movement of bitcoin does not follow any rules, and it is not good news that bitcoin always increases and vice versa.

It's too soon to be talking about 2024, all of the 2023 season still has to be played and
anything can happen in 12 months.
Our top picks for 2023 could pick up an injury and be out for 6 months and then factor in the
journey back to being fit, particularly in the case of Djokovic who has been fairly injury free but
at this stage is not the youngest competitor.
Of course it is still very early and of course a lot can happen before the Olympic Games. But the next year is important precisely for that reason how Djokovic will develop at the clay court. He has to perform much better than Ruud and Rune. But of course they can also get injured and not be able to play tennis for a long time. We have seen it with Zverev how quickly an injury can happen and what problems can occur during the healing process.

I hope that Novak Djokovic will be able to stay healthy. 2024 is still a long way away. It will be challenging for a player like him to stay fit while he is trying to improve because he has a very disciplined work ethic. He will have to be very careful not to pick up an injury. So far there are no health issues with him as far as I know. I think that the change in his diet that he made towards the end of 2022 is going to work well for his health. More protein is always slated to increase the raw power in anyone’s body.
