Downward Trend of Crude Oil Established: Short on the UpswingThe reciprocal tariffs announced by US President Donald Trump have triggered concerns about a slowdown in the global economy, and the price of oil has continued to decline. The potential tariff war between the United States and China will further worsen the outlook for oil demand. WTI crude oil has dropped by nearly 8%. I. Medium - Term Analysis From the perspective of the daily chart, the medium - term trend of crude oil has broken below the lower edge of the range, and the oil price has touched around 60. The moving average system has turned and diverged downward, and the objective medium - term trend direction is downward. Due to the decline triggered by the tariffs, pay attention to its continuity. If the medium - term downward trend is further confirmed, it will fall towards the levels of 55 or even 50. II. Short - Term Analysis In the short term (1 - hour chart), the trend of crude oil has experienced consecutive and significant declines, and the powerful and unstoppable downward momentum has pushed the price to around 60. The moving average system is in a bearish arrangement, and the objective short - term trend direction is downward. III. Current Market Outlook Currently, both the short - term and medium - term directions are downward. In the early trading session, the oil price is following the downward rhythm of the main trend. It is expected that after a weak rebound of crude oil during the day, it will continue to decline. USOIL Trading Strategy: sell@62-61 tp:59-58

Ford +50%Ford, which in recent years had diverged 150% from its main industrial benchmark, is one of the beneficiaries of Trump’s tariffs. Despite its heavy reliance on imported parts, Ford remains a symbol of domestic car manufacturing. While the market is losing trillions, Ford stays almost unmoved compared to the broader market. Cash outflows from everywhere can’t just be parked in bonds — investors need stocks like Coca-Cola. Ford is going to be one of the first to rise, with at least a 50% increase. Ford is NOT Tesla)

GBP/CAD Outlook: Support Holding for NowGBP/CAD has stopped falling around the 1.8330 level, which is now acting as support. From this point, the price looks like it might move higher. The target to watch is around 1.8470, which could act as a minor resistance. If the price manages to break above 1.8470, there's a stronger chance it will keep going up. However, if the price drops below 1.8330, that could mean the market is turning bearish. In that case, the next support level to look for is around 1.8220. So overall, as long as GBP/CAD stays above 1.8330, the outlook remains positive, with a likely move toward and beyond 1.8470.

IBEX 35: Possible brake to the tariff 'whiplash'.The announcement of new tariffs by the Trump Administration has unleashed a wave of uncertainty in global markets. With a 10% across-the-board tariff in the US, 20% for the European Union and up to 34% for China, these measures have ignited fears of stagflation in the US, which has repercussions internationally and directly affects investor confidence. Initial impact on the IBEX 35 Last Friday, the Spanish stock market suffered a historic fall, with the IBEX 35 losing almost 6% to around 12,400 points. This plunge, the worst recorded since the beginning of the covid crisis, wiped out tens of billions of euros of market capitalization, highlighting the strong impact of trade policies on the Spanish market. Impact on the banking sector The banking sector, a fundamental pillar of the IBEX 35, has been particularly hard hit. Entities such as Sabadell, Santander, BBVA, CaixaBank, Unicaja and Bankinter have suffered double-digit losses. Rising costs and pressure on profit margins have caused this sector to be severely impacted, reflecting the market's sensitivity to global instability. Persistence of the downtrend Although Friday's plunge had already set a negative precedent, the downward trend continued on Monday. Investors continue to reduce positions in risky assets, confirming the persistence of uncertainty. The lack of progress in international negotiations and the possibility of new countermeasures reinforced the pessimism in the market, keeping the IBEX 35 down at the opening of the session. Reaction in other markets and safe-haven assets The uncertainty generated by the tariffs has affected other financial indicators. Sovereign bonds are showing declining yields, which is evidence of the search for safer assets. Surprisingly, even gold-traditionally the safe haven of choice in times of high volatility-has lost ground, falling about 2.5% from its recent highs. Oil prices have also fallen, reflecting fears of a global recession and lower energy demand. Technical Analysis IBEX35 The momentum started on January 27th was stopped in March with two double tops. The second one lateralized the index and after the news caused by the tariff wave, on Friday April 4 a death cross was managed that has led the index the same day in a purely bearish session. The closing of the session took place in a context of a 4-hour candle with a lot of wick, bringing the chart closer to 1-hour candles, the last hour of the session a bearish gap was managed that left the price at the lows of the whole year at 11,930 points. The 12.00 zone seems to have acted as a temporary brake. The RSI in Friday's session moved into very high oversold territory, reaching 14.53%. The Spanish premarket hours indicate that the index could be trading around 11,963 points. The POC (Point of Control) zone of the previous weeks is located at 13,277 points. If the index holds its price at the current supports we could see a recovery in the direction of the support lost on Friday at 12,518 points in the current week due to the excessive news depreciation of the index. If the first support lost is recovered the second zone would be 12,760. If this price does not hold there could be the possibility of seeing the lows of 11,294 points. Conclusions and outlook The continued decline of the IBEX 35 underscores the interconnectedness of markets in a global context marked by trade tensions. The impact of the tariff “whiplash” remains profound, and as developments in the negotiations and possible international countermeasures are awaited, investors are preparing to face weeks of high volatility. The prospect of a prolonged economic slowdown remains, forcing the Spanish market to adopt an increasingly cautious stance. ******************************************************************************************* The information provided does not constitute investment research.

Gold: Monday's Dive, Recovery, and Trade StrategyOn Monday (April 7th) during the Asian trading session, the price of gold once dropped below $2,990, but then rebounded, reducing the extent of the decline. The selling pressure intensified due to the trade war initiated by US President Trump. Alarmed investors flocked to the US Treasury bond market out of concerns that Trump's trade war could trigger a global economic recession. For now at least, they are ignoring the risk that the same punitive tariffs might trigger another round of inflation. After the US government bonds rose and pushed the yield of two-year Treasury bonds to the lowest level since 2022, traders are preparing for further upward movements and believe that there is a greater possibility that the Federal Reserve will adopt the most aggressive interest rate cut measures to prevent an economic standstill. The daily chart of gold shows that the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has declined from nearly 80, which was reached on Thursday, towards 50. This indicates that the recent decline in the gold price is not just a technical pullback. Since gold opened lower today and directly dropped, continuing the downward trend of Friday's decline, we need to consider an issue now, that is, whether there will be consecutive daily declines. From the daily rhythm, we can see that the position of the high point has been continuously decreasing. This means that after encountering resistance at the vertex resistance level of the three-point line, it is very likely to form a secondary inflection point for the downward trend! From the 4-hour analysis perspective, today's short-term resistance above is at the level of 3,055, and the support below is at the level of 3,000 to 3,008. The trading strategy for gold: Place a short order when gold rebounds to the level of 3,050 to 3,060, with the target at the level of 3,015 to 3,020. I will share trading signals every day. All the signals have been accurate for a whole month in a row. If you also need them, please click on the link below the article to obtain them.

Easy tricks to master you mind during correctionsHello, The markets have been correcting, and fear seems to be creeping in. What most investors fail to understand is that big corrections such as this are the best opportunities handed to them. This is the best time to buy since markets are trading at the bottom. Additionally, for this time earnings season is about to kick in while this time the market is trading at the bottom. We compiled a few things that can help you remain composed in the current market environment. A transformative book I would recommend is Trading in the Zone by Mark Douglas. Douglas brilliantly compares elite traders to world-class athletes, revealing that both achieve greatness not through luck, but through rigorous mental discipline and robust, repeatable systems. To guide you toward this coveted "zone" of peak performance, here are four indispensable strategies: Craft a Rock-Solid Trading Plan A well-defined trading plan is your compass in the chaotic wilderness of the markets. It spells out precise conditions for entering trades, selecting opportunities, and exiting positions. By faithfully following this blueprint, you anchor yourself in accountability, sidestepping the pitfalls of reckless, emotion-driven moves. Maintain a Detailed Trading Journal Think of your trading journal as a mirror reflecting your journey. Record every trade, emotion, and market insight. This disciplined habit empowers you to evaluate your performance, pinpoint weaknesses, and sharpen your approach—unlocking a deeper understanding of your own psychological triggers. Cultivate Confidence Through Realistic Goals Confidence isn’t bravado—it’s the quiet strength to take calculated risks and embrace the results. Build it by practicing on a demo account with the seriousness of real stakes, setting attainable targets, and celebrating small wins. This foundation turns uncertainty into opportunity. Master the Art of Risk Management In trading, protecting your capital is paramount. Embrace proven techniques like setting risk/reward ratios, deploying stop losses, and sizing positions sensibly. These habits don’t just shield you from ruin—they pave the way for consistent, long-term gains. With the above rules we believe you should be able to invest or remain invested during these volatile moments. Again, remember the tariffs that have been set are the ceiling and we expect concessions to come once negotiations between countries begin. Good luck and stay invested. As shown in the chart, this is not the first time the market is undergoing a significant correction. What's clear is that markets always recover from corrections and continue pushing higher. This further reinforces our conviction that this are the best times to begin buying.

Vietnam's Shadow Over Nike's Swoosh?Nike's recent stock dip illuminates the precarious balance of global supply chains in an era of trade tensions. The article reveals a direct correlation between the proposed US tariffs on Asian imports, particularly from Vietnam – Nike's primary manufacturing hub – and a significant drop in the company's stock value. This immediate market reaction underscores the financial risks associated with Nike's deep reliance on its extensive factory network in Vietnam, which produces a substantial portion of its footwear, apparel, and equipment. Despite robust revenues, Nike operates with relatively thin profit margins, leaving limited capacity to absorb increased costs from tariffs. The competitive nature of the athletic wear industry further restricts Nike's ability to pass these costs onto consumers through significant price hikes without risking decreased demand. Analysts suggest that only a fraction of the tariff burden can likely be transferred, forcing Nike to explore alternative, potentially less appealing, mitigation strategies such as product downgrades or extended design cycles. Ultimately, the article highlights Nike's significant challenges in navigating the current trade landscape. While historically cost-effective, the deep entrenchment of its manufacturing in Vietnam now presents a considerable vulnerability. Shifting production elsewhere, particularly back to the US, proves complex and expensive due to the specialized nature of footwear manufacturing and the lack of domestic infrastructure. The future financial health of the athleticwear giant hinges on its ability to adapt to these evolving geopolitical and economic pressures.

EJ, Massive correction is in order - and thats an understatementEURJPY has been resilient last year, goin parabolic and hitting highs at 175.0 levels. As with any parabolic behavior -- weighty trim downs has followed thereafter. Slashing as much as 1500 pips from its last years price peak. Based on recent long term metrics -- more trim downs is expected that may linger for quite a bit. Color of the year will likely stay red for the next few seasons ahead. Our diagram depicts a major long term shift -- with a ultra wide time spectrum double top resistance that spans 17 years from July 2008 to April 2025. This solid head bump zone is historically a hard roof to crack and its already showing rejection based on latest price behavior. As economic uncertainty lingers, with all markets in red recently -- JPY status as a safe haven pair is currently manifesting hence the recent surge in strength (and weakness on all paired). The resurfaced black bar on the last monthly closing represents the first of many incoming series of descending price levels. Expect more price decay from this top zone. Spotted at 161.0 Mid/Long term target 150, 140 areas. TAYOR Trade safely.

QQQ Crashes to Demand Zone! Market on Edge After Tariff Shock🔻 Market Context
The Nasdaq-100 ETF (QQQ) took a severe hit after Trump’s proposed tariffs rattled the broader market. Investors fled risk-on assets, dragging tech-heavy indexes into a sharp sell-off. This capitulation-type flush aligns with the "risk-off" tone the options market has hinted at for days. Technical Analysis (1H + SMC)
QQQ broke structure decisively (BOS) and formed a bearish flag within a descending channel. Current price is hovering near the $420 support—this level acted as a major BOS zone, and we’re now testing it again from above. The Smart Money Concepts (SMC) show multiple CHOCHs failing to reclaim higher liquidity zones around $475–$480, marking this area as a strong distribution zone. MACD and Stoch RSI are near oversold levels, showing momentum exhaustion, but no clear bullish divergence yet. A small consolidation box is forming just above the demand zone. If this zone holds, a short-term relief bounce to retest $440–$448 could be in play. However, a breakdown below $419 would trigger further downside into the $405–$400 region. GEX-Based Options Sentiment (1H) * Highest Negative NET GEX / PUT Support is currently at $420, aligning perfectly with our price action floor. * GEX10 at $434 and GEX9 at $440–443 form resistance blocks for any short-term bounce. * The HVL at $475 (04/07 expiration) remains a major gamma magnet only if bulls reclaim $450+ levels. From a flow standpoint: * IVR: 101.8 – Options are relatively expensive. * IVx Avg: 56.7% – Increasing volatility confirms fear. * PUT$: 23.5% dominance – Bearish pressure is heavy. * GEX is deep in the bearish zone, with multiple red markers suggesting downside continuation risk is still high. Scenarios to Watch Bullish Scenario * Price holds $420 and forms a higher low. * Breakout above $440 opens door to $457 → $475 zone. * Risk-on confirmation if we reclaim $457 with strong volume. Bearish Scenario * Breakdown below $420 = major flush trigger. * Price could cascade to $405–$400 near previous fair value gaps. * Put support levels are likely to absorb some of the sell-off, but sentiment is fragile. Final Thoughts
This is a high-volatility week. Institutions are hedging heavily. Don’t fight the trend—watch for clear reclaim above $440 to go long. Otherwise, trade level to level and protect your capital. QQQ is not yet safe for investment—wait for reclaim above $457 and improving options sentiment before considering entries. For traders, short-term scalps off $420 with tight risk management are in play, but be prepared for violent swings.

PLTR Is Testing a Critical Breakdown Zone – S M Might Be WatchinPLTR Is Testing a Critical Breakdown Zone – Smart Money Might Be Watching This 👀 Technical Analysis & Trading Insights PLTR has broken down from its rising channel and is now consolidating tightly around the $72–74 area. This zone represents a key point of interest where price is reacting along the lower bound of the descending wedge. Smart Money Concepts (SMC) show a clear Break of Structure (BOS) followed by CHoCH attempts that were swiftly rejected. * Market Structure: We're in a strong bearish downtrend within a descending wedge. Current price action is hovering around a previous liquidity grab zone. * MACD: While still below the signal line, histogram bars are showing slight momentum loss to the downside – suggesting early signs of buyer defense. * Stochastic RSI: Deep in the oversold zone, curling upward – a classic signal for potential bounce or relief rally. This confluence of compression inside a wedge, oversold momentum, and price hovering just above PUT support creates an interesting risk-reward scenario. GEX & Options Sentiment * Highest Negative GEX / PUT Wall: $70 – This is the strongest magnet for sellers and likely where dealers may flip. * Massive Call$ Activity: A massive 134.4% call-dollar inflow indicates bullish options positioning, likely hedging or prepping for a reversal. * IVR is at 130.4, and IVx average is 138.1, reflecting extreme implied volatility. This means premiums are high and markets are expecting big moves. * Support Zones (Gamma Walls): $70 serves as the strongest gamma support. * Resistance Zones: $83 to $90 is a heavy resistance area. If we get above $78.73 (local BOS resistance), $83 could be next. Scenarios to Watch Bullish Reversal Setup: * A reclaim above $74 and breakout of the wedge could trigger a rally to $78.73 (BOS), then $83 (Gamma Wall). * Watch for MACD crossover and RSI break above 20 as confirmation. * Conservative entry: Wait for a retest of $74 as support. Bearish Breakdown Setup: * If $72 breaks with volume, price could rush to test the $70 PUT Wall. * Breakdown below $70 could accelerate toward $65, with volume-driven stops getting triggered. Thoughts for Investors & Traders The macro backdrop is still shaky after the tariff-triggered selloff. PLTR, like many tech stocks, is in an oversold state but faces overhead gamma resistance and dealer hedging pressure. The safest approach for longer-term investors may be waiting for weekly structure to stabilize above $83, where demand zones and bullish structure will reassert. For short-term traders, this is a classic liquidity sweep + reversal setup, but it needs confirmation. Use tight stops and avoid chasing. Disclaimer:

AMZN at a Decision Point! Bulls or Bears—Who Will Win This Week?Technical Analysis (TA) for AMZN – April 7, 2025 After last week's broad-market flush triggered by tariff headlines, AMZN now sits at a key support level near $170, showing signs of weakness but holding a structure that traders should monitor closely. Market Structure & Price Action: * Price remains within a descending channel, making consistent lower highs. * The recent Break of Structure (BOS) confirms bearish control after failing to hold the demand zone near $175. * Price has now formed a small consolidation box below the BOS, typically a sign of continuation if no bullish momentum appears. * Support remains weak near $170; a breakdown here opens the door toward the next major level at $165 and potentially down to $160. * Overhead resistance sits at $184.50, aligned with the upper trendline and a previous liquidity sweep. Indicators: * MACD is slowly curling up from deeply negative territory, but still lacks a clear bullish crossover. * Stoch RSI is oversold but hasn’t crossed up yet, indicating buyers are not yet stepping in aggressively. GEX and Options Sentiment Analysis (1H Timeframe): * Put Support (NETGEX) is strongest at $170, exactly where price is sitting now, giving short-term protection to the downside. * Beneath that, $165 and $160 show substantial GEX negatives, meaning if $170 breaks, downside acceleration is highly likely. * Gamma Resistance and Call Wall are stacked between $190–$203, with $190 showing the highest positive NETGEX – making it a strong resistance cap. * IVR 142 and IVx avg 83.4%: Elevated volatility indicates strong market uncertainty. * PUTs: 16.4% dominance, with 3 red GEX dots = bearish pressure with low call support. Trade Setups to Watch This Week: Bearish Continuation Setup (If $170 breaks): * Entry: Below $169.80 * Target 1: $165 * Target 2: $160 * Stop: Above $173.50 Bullish Reversal (Only if strong reclaim of BOS): * Entry: Above $176.50 * Target 1: $182.50 * Target 2: $190 * Stop: Below $170 Summary & Suggestions: * Short-term traders can look to play the breakdown below $170, but must react quickly and respect momentum. * Investors should stay cautious here. Only consider adding if AMZN reclaims the BOS zone and the market stabilizes. * With tariff-related volatility still in the headlines, trade with reduced size and tighter stops.

MSFT Teetering at Breakdown! Options Say THIS Might Be Next🔥 MSFT Teetering at Breakdown! Options Say THIS Might Be Next 👀 Post-crash volatility could offer traders a pivotal edge. Let’s dig in. 🔍 Technical Analysis (SMC & Price Action) – 1H Chart MSFT is trading inside a clear descending channel and just printed a Break of Structure (BOS) below 367.22, confirming bearish dominance. A supply zone sits between 367 and 385, where prior price rejections occurred. Immediate support is now around the 355–359 area, aligned with the lower channel and prior BOS zone. MACD remains bearish, with no bullish crossover in sight.
Stoch RSI is deep in oversold territory, beginning to hook upward — this suggests a possible relief bounce or minor consolidation incoming. 📊 Options Sentiment (GEX, IVR, Oscillator) * The highest negative NET GEX sits at 365, acting as strong PUT support and a short-term magnet. * Below that, heavy PUT Walls stack up at 355, 350, and 340 — setting up a staircase for potential bearish continuation if bulls fail to hold 359. * CALL resistance walls lie at 380, 400, and 405 — difficult levels for any rally to reclaim without a sentiment shift. * Gamma exposure (GEX) remains solidly red, reflecting strong dealer hedging activity to the downside. * IVR is elevated at 138.2, with IVx at 58.3. * Options flow is bearish with only 14.7% CALLS — confirming traders are not bidding up upside bets this week. 🧠 Market Thoughts & Outlook MSFT, like much of tech, is absorbing post-crash stress from Trump tariff news. Institutions are defensively positioned. Options data suggests strong gamma pressure and dealer hedging — a sign that bounces may be sold into. Unless the macro narrative improves, MSFT is at risk of further drawdowns. 📉 Trade Scenarios Bearish Setup (Primary Bias):
Entry around 359–360 if price gets rejected at this zone.
Targets are 355 → 350 → 340.
Stop above 365 (which is also where the highest negative NET GEX sits). Bullish Reversal Scenario (Low Probability):
If MSFT reclaims 367 with strength, look for moves toward 380 and possibly 385.
This would need strong volume and macro improvement. ⚠️ Investor Suggestion For long-term investors, this may be a watchlist zone, not a buy zone — yet. Wait for bullish divergence in MACD/Stoch RSI, reclaim of 367, or an improvement in the options positioning and news sentiment. Key Levels to Watch: * Immediate support: 355–359 * Key resistance: 367 and 380 * Breakdown targets: 350 and 340 * Gamma wall: 365 (Put Support), 405 (Call Resistance) 🧭 Final Thoughts MSFT is teetering at a major level. The market is not showing confidence yet, and options sentiment suggests downside still has fuel. Trade reactively, not emotionally — and size down in volatility. 🔻 This analysis is for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.

TSLA Enters the Breakdown Zone – Is $222 Next? Prepare or Avoid the Trap! 🧠 Market Insight: The recent Trump tariff announcement has shocked the tech and EV sectors, triggering a broad sell-off across growth names. With sentiment rattled and gamma exposure skewing aggressively negative, traders are facing a high-risk, high-opportunity zone. TSLA is now sitting at a critical juncture—with both Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and Options Market positioning flashing red flags. Caution is essential, but opportunity awaits the prepared. 🔍 Technical Analysis (1H Chart): * Break of Structure (BOS) at $243 confirms bearish intent after multiple Chochs. * Price is holding below a major supply zone ($250–$272), now turned resistance. * Strong bearish channel structure forming, with price consolidating just below BOS—often a sign of continuation. * MACD is below the signal line but slightly curling upward—showing potential for a relief bounce. * Stoch RSI is oversold, indicating exhaustion in short-term bearish momentum. Watch for a bullish crossover. 🔐 Key Levels: * Resistance: $243.32 (prior BOS), $249.89 (HVL / NETGEX wall), $272.5 (2nd Call Wall). * Support: $235 zone (current), $222.28 (recent swing low), $215–$210 (GEX danger zone). 💣 Gamma Exposure (GEX) Insights: * Highest Negative NETGEX at $250 – now acting as a gamma barrier, suggesting strong dealer hedging may suppress rallies. * Heavy put walls layered down from $235 to $210, with the 2nd PUT Wall (-66.72%) at $215, marking a likely magnetic downside zone. * IVR: 95.2 with Call$ at 60.5% – Options are still expensive, and call bias may indicate dip-buying interest, but negative GEX outweighs that for now. 📈 Trading Scenarios: 🐻 Bearish Continuation (High Probability): * Entry: Below $235 * Target: $222 → $215 * Stop: Above $243 BOS * Reason: Clean break of BOS, trapped longs, negative gamma buildup 🐂 Bullish Reversal (Less Likely – Monitor): * Entry: Bounce from $235 with strong volume + bullish MACD crossover * Target: $243 → $249.89 * Stop: Below $230 * Reason: Oversold Stoch RSI + high IV environment may cause volatility pop 💡 Strategy Suggestions: * Scalpers: Trade between gamma walls, especially $235 to $222 zone with tight stops. * Swing traders: Wait for reclaim of $243 to consider long. * Options: Buying puts carries risk due to inflated IV. Consider spreads (put debit or bear call). ⚠️ Final Thoughts: TSLA has lost key support and sits in a high-volatility, dealer-driven gamma pocket. Directional plays are dangerous unless you're trading with the flow and reacting quickly. Be surgical, respect your stops, and scale into conviction—not noise. 🧨 This analysis is for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.

Geopolitical Tensions, Supporting Bullish Outlook for GoldOver the weekend, geopolitical tensions remained elevated: A mortar attack targeted the vicinity of Aden Adde International Airport in Mogadishu, Somalia. U.S. forces launched airstrikes on key targets in Saada, a city in northern Yemen. Ukrainian forces conducted multiple strikes on Russian energy infrastructure. Massive protests erupted across dozens of U.S. cities, marking the first large-scale demonstrations since former President Trump returned to office. Trump described the recent U.S. stock market plunge as “intentional” and urged Americans to “stay strong.” In Europe, Germany is reportedly considering repatriating 1,200 tons of gold reserves currently stored in the United States—signaling potential mistrust in global financial stability. Fundamental Outlook Given the ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, investor demand for safe-haven assets like gold is expected to remain strong. As risk sentiment continues to deteriorate, buyers are likely to dominate the market, especially on price dips. We anticipate increased buying interest next week, which could support gold prices and potentially lead to a breakout from the current consolidation zone. Additionally, macroeconomic data releases will play a crucial role. The U.S. CPI report, due Thursday, will be the most closely watched indicator. A higher-than-expected CPI could cause markets to reassess the timing and scale of potential Fed rate cuts, resulting in a temporary rebound in the U.S. dollar and Treasury yields. However, sustained higher borrowing costs would intensify recession risks, limiting any dollar strength. This dynamic continues to favor gold in the medium to long term. We are entering a phase where the fundamental and technical landscapes are increasingly aligned in favor of the bulls. The recent pullback in prices presents a strategic opportunity for medium- to long-term buyers to accumulate positions. Those already holding long positions—whether currently in profit or facing temporary drawdowns—are advised to remain patient and avoid emotional exits. The broader structure remains supportive of higher prices in the coming sessions. I will continue to provide real-time updates, entry/exit suggestions, and risk control strategies during market hours. Be sure to stay connected and follow the guidance closely.

April 11) on 10-min breakdown, target support, stop above close.
