EUR/JPY extends its losses for the fourth successive session, trading around 182.80 during the European hours on Wednesday. The currency cross remains subdued following the release of Germany’s Retail Sales, which climbed 1.1% year-over-year (YoY) in November, following an increase of 0.9% in October. Monthly Retail Sales fell 0.6% in November, against a 0.3% decline in October and the market expectations of a 0.2% increase.
The technical analysis of the daily chart suggests that the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits at 50.96 (neutral), confirming tempered momentum. The EUR/JPY cross remains above the rising 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), while it stalls beneath a softening nine-day EMA, pointing to consolidation after the recent advance.
The EUR/JPY cross may navigate the region around the initial support at the three-week low of 181.57, recorded on December 17, followed by the 50-day EMA at 181.31. Holding above the 50-day EMA would keep the medium-term uptrend intact, while a drop through the first floor could expose the deeper level.
On the upside, the EUR/JPY cross may rebound toward the nine-day EMA at 183.44. Recovery through the nine-day EMA could re-establish upside traction and refocus the topside path toward the all-time high of 184.95, which was recorded on December 22, aligned with the psychological level of 185.00.

Staying healthy during the winter months can be a challenge, especially amidst a particularly rough cold and flu season. And while research remains limited for how much supplements can actually help, there is some early evidence to suggest that some may be able to support your immunity during the colder months.
Several studies have shown zinc can shorten the duration of colds and minimize their intensity if taken within 24 hours of symptom onset.
Zinc helps block viruses from multiplying in the nose and throat and supports the development and function of important immune cells, including T cells and natural killer cells, said Shruti K. Gohil, MD, a board-certified infectious diseases specialist and the associate medical director for UCI Health Epidemiology and Infection Prevention.
When sick with a cold, you should take 75-90 mg per day (divided every 2-3 hours). For daily immune maintenance, Gohil said 15-30 mg per day is sufficient.
Just don’t overdo it. “Signs of zinc toxicity are very similar to the symptoms of the common cold,” said Jacqueline Vernarelli, PhD, an associate professor and the Master of Public Health program director at Sacred Heart University.
Vitamin D deficiency is linked to increased risk of respiratory infections. “Though we can get it from the sun, our sun exposure is limited in the winter months, so taking a supplement is important in northern climates,” Vernarelli said.
Gohil added that Vitamin D supports “innate immunity,” which is the body’s first line of defense, including the protective lining of the respiratory tract.
“These immune cells have vitamin D receptors that control the ability to make natural antimicrobial substances that can defend the body against germs,” Gohil said. “It also regulates the immune response to be effective but not excessive.”
Some studies have shown fewer respiratory infections when people who have low vitamin D levels take supplements regularly.
Gohil said to aim for 1,000-2,000 IU per day, preferably with a meal containing fat for ideal absorption, while higher doses may be needed for those who are deficient.
Vitamin C enhances the function of two critical cells of your immune system—white blood cells and neutrophils. Both use vitamin C rapidly when fighting infections. It is also an important antioxidant, as it removes free radicals produced when your body fights infection, said Gohil.
Like zinc, studies have shown shorter duration and reduced severity of colds when taken consistently. You should aim for 500-1,000 mg once or twice per day when sick and 200-500 mg per day for prevention.
“People with a history of kidney stones should consult their doctors before using a supplement as vitamin C in excess can increase the risk of stones in some patients,” Gohil noted.
While you may not associate probiotics with a strong immune system, Vernarelli said a healthy gut is the foundation of a healthy immune system.
“The microbiome in the gut helps to support our immune function and a probiotic will help to keep the microbiome balanced,” she said. “Foods like yogurt and dairy-free yogurts, fermented foods like kimchi and sauerkraut, and probiotic supplements are your best bets.”
Elderberry may directly reduce viral replication and may prevent a virus from attaching and entering human cells, Gohil said. It may also stimulate the production of signalling molecules, which help fight infection.
Several small randomized controlled trials have shown that elderberry reduced the duration and severity of flu symptoms when taken within 24-48 hours of symptom onset. However, data on dosing strategy and the effectiveness of long-term use to prevent infection are lacking.
Echinacea may help support and regulate immune responses and reduce inflammation which can shorten and reduce symptoms when taken early, Gohil said.
However, study results have been mixed on its effectiveness, and there’s not enough research on its dosing strategy.
Before you turn to dietary supplements, the most effective winter “supplement” is plain old soap, said Vernarelli.
“The best way to prevent infection is to wash your hands with warm soapy water whenever you come in from errands, home from school, or before you eat or drink,” she said.
It’s also important to note that evidence supporting supplement effectiveness is still evolving, and the available data is limited.
“It is critical for patients to understand that supplements are not substitutes for vaccines, antivirals when indicated, or hydration,” Gohil said. “Supplements are also not a substitute for healthy meals. Vitamins and minerals obtained through food are more easily absorbed by the body.”
Platinum price ended the last bullish rally by facing the historical high near$2467.70, forming strong resistance to begin forming bearish corrective waves by its stability near $2340.00.
Despite the attempts of the main indicators to provide positive momentum, the continued fluctuation below the current top supports the chances of renewing the corrective attempts, which might target $2260.00 and $2185.00, while breaching the top and holding above it will reinforce the chances of recording historical gains by its rally towards $2525.00.
The expected trading range for today is between $2260.00 and $2410.00
Trend forecast: Bearish
We might have a bit of a shrinking of the interest rate differential over the next several months, but I do not think it is likely to be enough to turn the market around on its own. The one thing that could come into the picture as a potential strengthening point for the yen would be if we get some type of economic problem that affects the globe or geopolitical concerns.
This is a market that generally favors the US dollar due to interest rate differential, but if we have a major risk-off event, then traders will, of course, come running to the Japanese yen.
As long as we stay above the 154.5 yen level, I think buying the dips will continue to be the move, as the interest rate differential continues to get you paid at the end of each session. The carry trade seems to still be alive and well at the moment.

But is it actually worth the hype, or just a very photogenic distraction? Let’s break down the menu.
Krispy Kreme isn’t just dusting things with green powder and calling it a day. They’ve gone for two distinct vibes here:

You can’t have a “Matcha Moment” without something to sip on. Krispy Kreme is rolling out three different ways to get your caffeine fix:
Aimee Cutajar, Marketing Director at Krispy Kreme ANZ, noted that matcha has been “at the top of the wishlist” for fans for a while. It’s a smart move, matcha demand has skyrocketed globally, and pairing that earthy umami flavour with the sugary hit of a doughnut is a classic “habit stack” for anyone looking for a little luxury in their day.

The Catch? It’s called a “moment” for a reason. This collection is only available from 7 January to 3 February 2026. You can find them at participating shops across Australia (though South Australia will unfortunately have to sit this one out) or order them online.
Crypto prices lost momentum today, January 7, as investors started to book profits. Bitcoin retreated to $92,670 after hitting a key resistance level at $94,500. The Crypto Fear and Greed Index has moved to near 50, while the Altcoin Season Index rose to 23.
This article provides a prediction for top altcoins like Ethereum (ETH), JasmyCoin (JASMY), and Ripple (XRP).
Ethereum price technical analysis
ETH price has rebounded in the past few weeks, moving from a low of $2,768 in December to the current $3,255. It formed a double-bottom pattern at $2,768 and the neckline at $3,478, its highest point on December 10.
The token has moved above the 23.6% Fibonacci Retracement level and the 50-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA). The Supertrend indicator has turned green for the first time since December.
Therefore, the token will likely continue rising as bulls target the key resistance level at $3,478, which is about 7% above the current level. A move above that price will point to more gains, potentially to the 50% retracement level at $3,695.
Ethereum has bullish catalysts that may drive it higher in the coming weeks. One of them is that the supply of Ethereum tokens in exchanges has continued falling.
One reason for this is that Ethereum ETF inflows have continued rising. They rose by $114 million on Tuesday, the third consecutive day of inflows.
Another one is that the amount of staked ETH tokens has jumped. For example, BitMine has continued to stake its huge holdings, a process that will continue.
The Ethereum price will also benefit from the ongoing growth of its ecosystem in areas like decentralized finance and real-world asset tokenization.
XRP price technical analysis
The daily chart shows that the XRP price formed a triple-bottom pattern at $1.800. It failed to move below that level in October, November, and December last year.
The token has moved above the 50-day Exponential Moving Average. It has also moved above the Supertrend indicator for the first time since July last year.
Ripple price is now forming a bullish flag pattern, a common continuation sign in technical analysis. It has also moved above the descending trendline that connects the highest swings since October 2nd.
Therefore, the token will likely continue rising as bulls target the psychological point at $3,000, which is about 33% above the current level.
Like Ethereum, XRP price has some bullish catalysts, including the continuing ETF inflows and its growing utility.
Jasmy price prediction
Jasmy, a popular cryptocurrency known as Japan’s Bitcoin, has also started the year well. It jumped from a low of $0.00545 last week to a high of $0.0100, its highest point since November 11.
The daily chart shows that the coin’s Supertrend indicator has turned green, which is a highly bullish sign in technical analysis. The coin’s rebound also formed a small double-bottom pattern, a common bullish continuation sign in technical analysis.
Therefore, JasmyCoin price will likely continue rising in the near term, with the next key target being at $0.0136, up by 53% above the current level. It was also its highest level on October 3rd.

The EURJPY pair suffered strong negative pressures, reaching below the bullish channel’s support at 183.45 level, to suffer intraday losses by targeting 182.80 level, which forms a key support level to take advantage of its rally towards 183.40.
The confinement between extra support at 182.80 and 183.60 level makes us expect extending the support of the broken bullish channel, to keep the neutrality until confirming the trend by surpassing one of these levels, note that the price rally above 183.60 will reinforce the chances of renewing the bullish attempts, to expect targeting 184.40 barrier, and surpassing it will form next target at 184.90 level in the bullish trading.
The expected trading range for today is between 182.80 and 183.60
Trend forecast: Neutral
The Brazil nutraceuticals market size was estimated at USD 14.08 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 29.82 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 8.7% from 2025 to 2033. The market is experiencing steady growth, driven by an aging population, rising health awareness, and a growing middle class with increased disposable income.
Consumers are increasingly turning to supplements for preventive healthcare, particularly to manage chronic conditions such as obesity and diabetes. Post-pandemic, there is heightened demand for immunity-boosting and natural products, including those featuring native superfoods such as acai and guarana. E-commerce and influencer marketing are further accelerating market expansion, especially among younger demographics. Moreover, regulatory clarity from ANVISA has boosted industry confidence and encouraged innovation.
In addition to demographic and health-driven factors, Brazil’s abundant biodiversity plays a crucial role in supporting the nutraceuticals market. The country’s vast natural resources enable the development of unique, plant-based products that appeal to both local consumers and international buyers seeking clean-label, functional products.
In Brazil, people’s choices around supplements vary a lot depending on their age and income. Older adults usually look for products that help with immunity, joint issues, and heart health, and they tend to trust recommendations from pharmacists. People in their 30s and 40s are more focused on staying energized, aging well, and managing stress, and many of them prefer easy-to-use formats such as powders or drinks. Younger adults, especially those in their 20s, are big on fitness, skin health, and convenience, often choosing gummies or energy shots they see promoted on social media. While wealthier consumers are willing to pay more for personalized or organic products, budget-conscious shoppers usually go for bundle deals or local brands that offer good value.
Probiotics are becoming more popular, especially with women in cities, thanks to growing awareness around gut health and immunity. Collagen, especially when combined with vitamin C or hyaluronic acid, is trending among women focused on beauty, with drinkable formats in high demand.
The dietary supplements segment dominated the Brazil nutraceuticals market and accounted for a revenue share of 32.8% in 2024. Growth of this segment is primarily driven by growing public interest in wellness and preventive health. With lifestyle-related conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and stress becoming more common, many Brazilians are turning to vitamins, minerals, and herbal supplements to stay ahead of chronic illnesses. This shift is especially noticeable among urban, health-conscious consumers who view supplements as part of a daily routine rather than a temporary fix.
The functional beverages segment is anticipated to experience the fastest CAGR of 10.0% during the forecast period. This segment is experiencing rapid growth as more consumers look for convenient ways to stay healthy on the go. Urban lifestyles, increased gym culture, and growing concern over chronic conditions such as diabetes and obesity are pushing demand for drinks that support immunity, digestion, hydration, or energy. Products such as kombucha, protein waters, and vitamin-fortified juices are gaining traction, especially among younger demographics in major cities.
The weight management & satiety segment dominated the Brazilian dietary supplements market in 2024. Rising obesity rates and growing public interest in preventive health drive growth. Consumers are increasingly drawn to natural ingredients such as glucomannan, guar gum, green tea extract, and Garcinia cambogia, which help suppress appetite and promote fullness. Functional foods and supplements that support satiety, such as fiber-rich powders, high-protein shakes, and metabolism-boosting capsules, are gaining ground across pharmacies and online platforms. Urban professionals and fitness-focused consumers especially favor these products for managing weight without relying on drastic diets. In April 2025, specialty‐ingredient distributor Barentz Brazil presented solutions focused on weight-control and satiety at the NIS 2025. Presentation highlighted Soluble Fiber Nutriose and Nutralys Pea Protein supporting weight control and satiety.
Based on application, the men’s health segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR from 2025 to 2033. This segment is expanding steadily, driven by increased awareness of male-specific health concerns such as testosterone support, prostate function, and metabolic health. Younger men are turning to supplements for muscle gain and energy, while older demographics seek support for vitality and chronic condition management. Popular products include protein powders, amino acids, omega-3s, and plant-based testosterone boosters. The country’s strong fitness culture and widespread use of digital wellness platforms have also amplified demand.
The offline distribution segment held the largest revenue share of the market in 2024. Major pharmacy chains such as Raia Drogasil, Pague Menos, and DPSP are instrumental in providing consumer trust through face-to-face guidance and convenient access. Many Brazilians still prefer purchasing supplements in person, valuing pharmacist recommendations and product visibility. Supermarkets such as Carrefour and DIA also contribute significantly, offering functional foods and supplements alongside routine groceries. This physical retail presence is especially important for older consumers and those less active online, reinforcing brand credibility and boosting impulse purchases.
The online distribution segment is projected to experience the fastest CAGR from 2025 to 2033. In Brazil, the digital channel is becoming a key driver for the nutraceutical market as consumers increasingly prefer the convenience, breadth of choice, and home-delivery option offered by online platforms. These channels are especially attractive for urban, tech-savvy shoppers who seek functional foods and dietary supplements for weight management, men’s health, and other wellness purposes.
Some of the key companies operating in Brazil dietary supplements industry include Amway, Haleon plc, GSK plc., Yakult S/A Indústria e Comércio, and others.
