XAUUSD : Gold is slightly decreasing after the increaseTechnically, the $2,360 area, corresponding to Friday's session high, is considered the closest barrier, followed by the $2,364 level. Overcoming these barriers in a convincing way can trigger the excitement of buyers and push the gold price to the $2,385 area, then towards $2,400. The upward momentum could even continue to extend to the $2,425 area, or even the historic peak recorded in May at $2,450.
On the contrary, the SMA 50, currently fluctuating around 2,334 USD, will act as the first important support. The next support zone is around 2,325 USD and beyond is yesterday's session low near 2,314 USD. However, it should be noted that oscillators on the daily chart are starting to show negative signals. Therefore, a credible break-down above the 50 SMA could pave the way for stronger declines, sending gold prices to retest the $2,300 level and even the key support zone around 2,285 - 2,284 USD.
Fed interest rates impact XAU in the short termExperts believe that the Fed's interest rate direction will be the main factor affecting the direction of gold in the short term. Therefore, the market will continue to listen for information that is expected to have an impact on the Fed's decision.
This week, besides employment data, the gold market will wait for the interest rate decision of the European Central Bank (ECB). The bank will almost certainly cut interest rates by 25 basis points and this could become the first major central bank to cut interest rates this cycle
xan price may recover in the next trading sessions
Many analysts predict that, ahead of the Fed's monetary policy meeting on June 11-12, many investors will increase buying, causing gold prices to increase sharply before the meeting.

EURUSD: Buy the 4H MA50 pullback and sell at the top.EURUSD is bullish on its 1D technical outlook (RSI = 63.032, MACD = 0.002, ADX = 27.518) and on 4H it is attempting a closing above the R1 level. On the short term we have a Channel Up that will validate the new Bullish Leg if we close a 4H candle over the R1 level. If that happens, we will buy the first pullback to the 4H MA50 and aim for a +1.43% from the latest Low (TP = 1.09400), exactly what took place on April 26th. In the same manner, we will short then and aim for the 4H MA200 (TP = 1.08500).

XAUUSD tm:1hHello traders.
I hope you doing well.
These areas are based on my personal strategy and I will share it with you.

Your entry point, stop loss, and target point are based on money management and the amount of money in your trading account.
But I promise you that by trading in the areas of my trading strategy, you will definitely make a profit, because these areas, although they seem simple, are my experience of 8 years of learning and trading.
I hope you will achieve maximum continuous profit with me by using supply and demand areas.

DXY Intra Day Play 03.06.2024On the 15 M Chart for the day we are seeing the greenback break out of the descendi trangle wedge to the upside at 104.700.
The market is still waking up from the weekend's pause so there are no major movements to give us clear indication that this continuation will sustain itself other than liquidity sweeps from the previous weeks.
I am keen on seeing this breakout continue as it will give me further conifrnation to enter sells on EUR/USD which has broke below the asian low and has now found itself adncing below the 200ema.
Chart:
I am also keen on seeing this corrolate with Gold and Silver who are also both showing signs of trading below last week's POC levels
Silver:
Gold:
This will make it a rather interesting start to the week,,, especially if the PMI results do come back as forecasted at 49.8 or even stronger this afternoon when the US Market opens up.
Hope you have a great day and that your screens are green.
Let me know what you guys think.
Happy Trading.
Gold price decreased slightly in today's trading sessionGold prices are forecast to have many fluctuations in the short term when the market receives important economic data from the US, such as the purchasing managers index report in the manufacturing and service sectors, and the number of applications reported. Unemployment benefits and May non-farm payroll report
The slight decrease in gold prices may be a short-term correction after a series of recoveries since the beginning of the year. US PCE data showed a 0.3% rise in April, showing signs of stabilizing inflation in 2024, with core inflation rising 2.7% in the 12 months to March.
Expectations for the Fed to cut interest rates from September 2024 have decreased as April inflation was unchanged from the previous month and still far from the 2% target.
World gold prices tend to decrease compared to last week's closing level. However, the latest Kitco News Gold Survey results show that both experts and retail investors maintain optimism about gold's prospects in the short term.

GOLD (XAU/USD): what does the MTF view orchestrate?Initially, taking a look at the Monthly-timeframe development, it could be noted that the price is printing huge wick candles, which emphasises the inability to continue pushing in the upside destination. Identifying all crucial key zones and levels of decision, we may point out the importance of the 2.07 key region, the borders of which could be visited in the upcoming middle to long run if our game-plan plays out as desired.
Zooming into the Weekly-timeframe chart to locate probable entry areas, the right shoulder zone of the currently forming Head&Shoulders pattern could be held under the radar. If the price manages to bounce off the neckline highlighted on the graph and reach the right shoulder zone as orchestrated, we might look into taking short positions and aim for the 2.07 destination in the upcoming long run.
USD/CAD (dollar-canada): as textbook as it getsObserving the Monthly-timeframe movement on USD/CAD, it could be inferred that the price has rejected the upper barrier of the rectangular range as mapped on the graph and formulated a new top. From here, in the upcoming long run, we are anticipating for the price to keep declining and, eventually, reach the lower boundary of the channel as indicated on the graph.
EUR/USD (euro-dollar): a multi-timeframe view (W & D)Initially, looking at the Weekly-timeframe chart on the left-hand side of the screen, it could be inferred that the price has been unable to break below the major key zone of 1.072 and, ever since, it has been impulsing in the upside destination. Judging by the ongoing build-up, the bullish wave does not show any signs of stoppage and is continuing to move in the upward direction after having broken out of the descending trend-line highlighted on the chart.
Zooming into the Daily timeframe, the zone-to-zone movement of the price could be clearly noticed. Thus, holding on to our bullish sentiment, we are executing long positions with the stop-out order below the ongoing build-up and the target level set at key level identified on the Weekly timeframe.
XAU price stands around the threshold of 2,345 USDWorld gold prices dropped sharply to 2,323 USD/ounce due to the impact of comments on May 28 by Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari about the US Federal Reserve (Fed) not cutting interest rates soon. in this year.
However, gold prices suddenly increased sharply again due to witnessing large purchases from investors after the US preliminary announcement of first quarter GDP was lower than initially expected. According to the US Bureau of Economic Analysis, US first quarter GDP increased by 1.3%, lower than the 1.6% previously estimated.
Market analyst Han Tan of Exinity Group said that the gold market is waiting for more personal consumption consumption data (PCE) for May to be announced from the US. If this index rises higher than expected, it will increase the likelihood that the Fed will keep interest rates unchanged for a longer period of time.
According to experts from the Swiss Bank (UBS), there are 3 factors supporting the uptrend of gold, the most important being the Fed's monetary policy. Analysts say that just a small interest rate cut by the Fed, even 25 percentage points, would be enough to bring gold prices to a new average high.
Gold will likely resume its upward trendThe recent short-term uptrend is showing signs of reversing when gold prices have dropped more than 4% from the historic peak of 2,450 USD, set just a few trading sessions ago. This adjustment shows that investor psychology is changing, as buyers tend to take profits and look for investment channels with higher profitability.
Tonight, 19:30 Vietnam time, the US core PCE index will be announced. With the return of fundamental factors, gold may continue to decline in the short term. Persistent inflation will likely force the Fed to maintain a "hawkish" stance for longer, adding to the bearish bias in non-yielding assets, creating an unfavorable environment for the precious metal.
XAUUSD : Gold stopped its upward trend this weekWorld gold price (XAU/USD) increased slightly to close at 2,343 USD after the second preliminary estimate of US Q1 GDP growth rate showed stagnation, increasing market expectations for Fed's future rate reduction. Meanwhile, recent negative technical news along with hawkish comments from Fed officials are still weighing on market sentiment. However, many experts agree that long-term dynamics such as geopolitical tensions, global economic instability, trade wars or demands from central banks, especially the PBOC, will continue. continue to support gold prices to rise.
USD/CHF (dollar-franc): a detailed technical orchestrationJudging by the Daily-timeframe build-up, we might imply that the price has nicely tapped into the liquidity region laying above the right shoulder of the recently formulated Head&Shoulders pattern, and now we are observing bearish moves in the destination of two zones - the pattern neckline and the 0.888 key level. Upon reaching the pattern neckline (0.9 region), we will be observing price behaviour before taking further action. If we are able to witness some rejections, then, there is a high probability that the 0.909 region will be re-visited for a re-touch (break+retest formation) before further bearish moves resume and, potentially, drive the price in the destination of the 0.888 level. On the other hand, if no signs of a bounce are printed on the 0.9 zone and the break is evident, then, the price will have enough potential to keep dropping till the 0.888 region.
All in all, we recommend to have eyes on the day-to-day development and make decisions with no rush.
Hope this idea is of help!
EUR/USD Intra Day/Week Play 28/05/2025On the monthly we are currently witnessing the formation of a descending trangle in preparation for a breakout to the upside if we cross 1.13093 or to the downside if we cross 1.04898. This level has been mitigated back in July 2022 taking all buy side liquidity in the process beofre returning to create the new support level to begin a new wyckoff accumilation pattern.
On the weekly we can see that price has been ranging btween 1.10082 (highs) and 1.07237 (lows)
When we head down to the 4 hour we can see that price has mitigated the previous 4hr bearish order block to then form a break out to the downside, it then returned to the break out levels further claiming all the sell side liquidity in the zone and is preparing for a move downward to fill the imbalance @ 1.07953 and tap into either the bullish order block at 1.07876 or 1.07459
This upward movement is also supported by the bearish candle crossing the 20ema to test 100ema with a pisitive reaction to the upside on the 4hr indicating strong buying interest.
In this scenario, we would look for an entry at 1.07856 with a stop loss at 1.07117 and take profits at 1.10107 securing a nice 1:3 Risk to Reward.
Let me know what you guys think.
Hope you have a great week ahead.
Happy Trading.
