Gold – Daily Trading Plan (Tuesday 24 June 2025)Risk-off demand fading:
A Middle-East cease-fire headline knocked some “safe-haven” premium out of Gold overnight.
Firm USD & higher-for-longer Fed stance: Dollar strength keeps metal under pressure.
Spot reference: 3 325 $/oz at 09:30 CET after an Asian-session sweep to 3 316 $.
A) Short on pull-back
Action : Sell 3 340–3 350 $ (FVG cluster + trend-line retest)
SL : M15 close > 3 360 $
TP : 3 316 $ → 3 300 $ → 3 285 $
B) Momentum continuation
If price fails to rally above 3 334 $ and prints a fresh bearish engulfing M15
Invalidation : Micro high > 3 335 $
Target : Same downside ladder
C) Bullish rescue (low-prob)
Clean break & H1 close above Asian High 3 357 $ + fill of H1 FVG
Invalidation : H1 close > 3 368 $
Target : 3 390 $ / 3 405 $
As long as 3 357 $ caps any rebound, bias stays short-side, favouring sell-the-rally opportunities into the 3 340s with room down to the psychological 3 300 $ handle (and 3 285 $ extension).
Flip to neutral/long only on an H1 closure above 3 360 – 3 368 $.
Fundamental Analysis
EURAUD: Aussie Strength Supported by Peace in the Middle EastEURAUD: Aussie Strength Supported by Peace in the Middle East
EURAUD confirmed a small double top pattern, and news of a ceasefire in the Middle East between Israel and Iran gave the Aussie a boost.
All the candles have been read so far, showing that the AUD has come back stronger.
Given that it has been overbought for a long time, it's expected that a small pause will occur before EURAUD can fall further.
The first target I am looking at is near 1.7740 and 1.7650.

Forex Market: Myth or Strategy? — Analysis by Valtrix GroupEvery year in June, forex traders pay close attention to historical price movements, hoping to identify recurring seasonal patterns. But does June really offer a strategic edge, or is it a marketing myth and an overrated idea?
At Valtrix Group, we view seasonality as a secondary but useful filter — especially during periods of low volatility and a lack of macroeconomic catalysts.
What Does History Tell Us?
Historical data on major currency pairs (EUR/USD, USD/JPY, GBP/USD) shows that June often exhibits:
A rise in volatility in the first half of the month — driven by inflation data releases (U.S., EU);
Moderate strengthening of the U.S. dollar, particularly between the FOMC meeting and the quarterly earnings season;
In some years — flat movements caused by low liquidity ahead of the summer holiday season.
However, long-term statistics are mixed. For example, from 2013 to 2023, EUR/USD rose in June in 6 out of 10 years and declined in 4, showing no strong directional bias.
Why Seasonality Doesn’t Always Work
The forex market is driven not only by technicals and statistics but also by macroeconomics, geopolitics, and monetary policy. When major events occur in June (Fed meetings, crises, elections), seasonal patterns can easily be disrupted.
Moreover, algorithmic trading and arbitrage strategies reduce the likelihood of consistent price movements repeating year after year.
Amazon “All-In” on UK InvestmentIon Jauregui – Analyst at ActivTrades
Amazon announced on Tuesday an ambitious £40 billion investment in the United Kingdom over the next three years. The goal: to boost technological innovation, expand its logistics network, and strengthen the infrastructure needed for artificial intelligence development across Europe.
According to the company, this investment will contribute approximately £38 billion to the UK’s GDP and includes the construction of four new fulfilment centres, delivery stations, and upgrades to Amazon’s more than 100 existing operational sites in the country. Part of this expansion will create 4,000 new jobs in Hull and Northampton, in addition to new roles in the East Midlands and other regions.
A significant portion of the plan includes the £8 billion previously announced in September 2024 for AWS data centre development through 2028. This move reinforces Amazon’s commitment to cloud computing leadership and AI-driven services.
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer described the announcement as “a huge vote of confidence in the UK as a place to do business,” while Amazon CEO Andy Jassy highlighted the company’s steady growth in the country over the past 27 years.
Fundamental Analysis: Strong Results with a Cautious Outlook
As of yesterday’s close, Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) shares slipped by –0.62%, ending the session at USD 208.47. However, the Q1 2025 financials reveal a robust growth trajectory:
• Revenue: USD 155.7 billion (+9% YoY)
• Net Income: USD 17.1 billion (+64%), with EPS at USD 1.59
• AWS: USD 29.3 billion in revenue (+17%), with an operating margin near 40%
• Amazon Ads: USD 13.9 billion (+19%), consolidating as a key revenue driver
• Operating cash flow: USD 113.9 billion over the last 12 months
Despite this strength, the company issued a conservative outlook for Q2, which applied some pressure on markets: operating income is expected between USD 13.0 and 17.5 billion, below analysts’ consensus.
Technical Analysis: Solid Support, But Breakout Needed
From a technical standpoint, Amazon maintains the bullish structure initiated in November 2023. It is currently trading near the technical resistance range of USD 191–218, a breakout above which could pave the way toward the current high of USD 242.52.
• Key support: USD 202.04
• Moving averages: The 50-day MA is above the 200-day MA, and the 100-day MA has remained consolidated above both since the bullish crossover on May 30
• RSI: Neutral (~51%), providing room for further upside after the last failed attempt to break the USD 217.96 resistance
A confirmed break above USD 218 could signal a renewed expansion phase. Conversely, a drop below the USD 200 mark would test the bullish channel and could lead to a correction toward the current point of control near USD 187, or even lower toward USD 165, which marks the current technical floor.
Conclusion
Amazon combines operational strength with a long-term strategic vision in Europe. Its commitment to the UK—through investment in logistics, technology, and sustainability—reinforces its role as a key player in the continent’s digital transformation. In the markets, despite a cautious guidance, Amazon’s fundamentals remain solid, and its stock continues to offer opportunities in a stable growth environment.

Bitcoin to revisit $100k | Summer price target = $120kGeopolitical tension is causing fear in the markets. Today, Bitcoin fell from $107.7k to current price $105k with no sign of buyer support whatsoever, printing 11 consecutive H1 red candles intraday. Like a hot knife through butter.
At $105k, there is very little support. Sell volume absolutely overshadowed the tiny buy volume. Bulls have yet to close a green candle. I believe in the next few hours Bitcoin will be trading at $104k, followed by the first stop $102k.
$102k can serve as an entry point, depending on how price reacts. $100k is the optimal entry point for maximum profit, after mass liquidations. Retail traders are confident that the liquidity hunt is over after the initial tap, placing stops and liquidation levels at $100k.
Invalidation level will be beyond the 200SMA. The 200SMA have historically proven itself time and time again as a safe zone during rallies after golden crosses.
Can Geopolitics Power Tech's Ascent?The Nasdaq index recently experienced a significant surge, driven largely by an unexpected de-escalation of tensions between Israel and Iran. Following a weekend where U.S. forces reportedly attacked Iranian nuclear sites, investors braced for a volatile Monday. However, Iran's measured response - a missile strike on a U.S. base in Qatar, notably without casualties or significant damage - signaled a clear intent to avoid wider conflict. This pivotal moment culminated in President Trump's announcement of a "Complete and Total CEASEFIRE" on Truth Social, which immediately sent U.S. stock futures, including the Nasdaq, soaring. This rapid shift from geopolitical brinkmanship to a declared truce fundamentally altered risk perceptions, alleviating immediate concerns that had weighed on global markets.
This geopolitical calm proved particularly beneficial for the Nasdaq, an index heavily weighted towards technology and growth stocks. These companies, often characterized by global supply chains and reliance on stable international markets, thrive in environments of reduced uncertainty. Unlike sectors tied to commodity prices, tech firms derive their value from innovation, data, and software assets, which are less susceptible to direct geopolitical disruptions when tensions ease. The perceived de-escalation of conflict not only boosted investor confidence in these growth-oriented companies but also potentially reduced pressure on the Federal Reserve regarding future monetary policy, a factor that profoundly impacts the borrowing costs and valuations of high-growth technology firms.
Beyond the immediate geopolitical relief, other crucial factors are shaping the market's trajectory. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's upcoming testimony before the House Financial Services Committee, where he will discuss monetary policy, remains a key focus. Investors are closely scrutinizing his remarks for any indications regarding future interest rate adjustments, particularly given current expectations for potential rate cuts in 2025. Additionally, significant corporate earnings reports from major companies like Carnival Corporation (CCL), FedEx (FDX), and BlackBerry (BB) are due. These reports will offer vital insights into various sectors' health, providing a more granular understanding of consumer spending, global logistics, and software security, thereby influencing overall market sentiment and the Nasdaq's continued performance.
GOLD: In a Very Complex ScenarioGOLD: In a Very Complex Scenario
Gold remains in a highly complex scenario, as price action appears disconnected from current news events.
The absence of bullish volume is concerning and suggests a lack of conviction in the market.
A significant move may unfold precisely when it's least anticipated.

Gold, Will USA-Iran-Israel conflict affect it? The USA-Iran-Israel conflict can significantly impact gold prices. Gold is a safe-haven asset, so demand often rises during geopolitical tensions, pushing prices up
3406 gonna be first target for me, if it breaks this lvl with huge volume and FVG on 1h+ then most likely we will see ATH in near future
bearish scenario(lest likely) - price breaks down 3340 and close with nice volume and fvg on 1h+ which will open move all the way down to MO
Iran and Israel ceasefire? Gold price falls and adjusts
📌 Gold information:
Gold prices continued to be well supported during the North American trading session following the breaking news of Iran's retaliatory attack on the US military base in Qatar. The escalation was a response to Washington's weekend attack on Iran's nuclear facilities. As geopolitical tensions in the Middle East dominated the headlines, investors largely ignored US economic data
Macroeconomic indicators have taken a back seat as the intensification of the conflict has affected market sentiment. Arab TV cited Israeli media reports that Iran used missiles to attack US bases in Qatar, Kuwait and Iraq. In further escalation, Tehran approved the closure of the strategic Strait of Hormuz and launched more missiles at Israeli targets, which amplified the safe-haven demand for gold.
The situation in the Middle East has mixed signals. Trump announced a "stop" to the Iran-Israel conflict, while the exchange of fire between the two sides continued, and the proportion of gold longs fell back
📊Commentary Analysis
Gold prices responded to the reduction of positive news on peace in the Middle East and continued to rise.
💰Strategy Package
Short when the price rebounds to around 3370, stop loss at 3480, target at 3350-3388 points
Long around 3310-3320, stop loss at 3300, target at 3360-3368 points

June 27 PCE inflation, stagflation is avoidable.The release of the U.S. Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index, due this Friday June 27, is the major macroeconomic event of the week. The Federal Reserve's (Fed) preferred inflation indicator, the PCE could play a decisive role in determining the direction of US monetary policy in the second half of 2025.
1) PCE inflation is the Fed's favorite inflation index
The economic context is particularly delicate. At its last meeting, the Fed maintained its key rate between 4.25% and 4.5%, while revising its macroeconomic projections. It now anticipates weaker growth, higher inflation and slightly higher unemployment by the end of 2025. This cautious stance reflects the many uncertainties, notably geopolitical and trade uncertainties, and tensions over raw materials, particularly oil. These factors could revive fears of a stagflation scenario, i.e. a combination of weak growth and persistent inflation.
Against this backdrop, the PCE figure for May is of strategic importance. The Fed remains attentive to what this indicator shows: confirmation of a slowdown in price rises would reinforce the hypothesis of a first rate cut as early as September. Conversely, an unexpected rebound, driven in particular by energy prices or the new tariffs introduced by the Trump administration, could postpone this deadline and intensify tensions on financial markets.
2) The stagflation scenario is still avoidable
However, the immediate outlook for PCE seems relatively contained. According to leading indicators of underlying inflation, the components most sensitive to fluctuations in world prices, such as services and real estate, are not showing any signs of overheating. On the other hand, the recent rise in oil prices, stimulated by tensions in the Middle East, could lead to a temporary increase in nominal inflation. Its overall impact is estimated at around 10%, which remains moderate at this stage.
Beyond this release, markets are weighing up the chances of the Fed taking action ahead of its key meeting on Wednesday September 17. Should geopolitical uncertainty diminish and inflation figures continue to normalize, the conditions for monetary easing would be met. At present, ten FOMC members are leaning towards two rate cuts by the end of the year, while seven prefer to maintain the status quo. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell was cautious, insisting on the need to be guided by economic data.
All in all, the June 27 ECP will act as an eye-opener. It will shed light on the current state of inflationary dynamics in the United States, and strongly influence investor expectations. If it reinforces the idea that inflation is converging towards the 2% target on a sustainable basis, markets could regain confidence in a more accommodating monetary policy.
In any case, the Fed will have to navigate skilfully between ambiguous economic signals, persistent exogenous risks and growing political pressure. Friday's PCE figure represents much more than a simple monthly indicator: it is a compass for US monetary strategy.

Gold Price Analysis June 24Quite a surprise with a price gap down at the beginning of the day. A sweep to 3333 and a recovery to increase again in the Tokyo trading session.
This recovery to increase completely breaks the market's bullish wave structure.
3363 and 3335 are being watched in the Asian and European trading sessions today. This zone can be traded short-term in the sideways range. The SELL zone pays attention to the opening gap at 3368.
The upper range has some adjustments compared to yesterday in the direction of decreasing prices, so the SELL range 3386 and 3410 is being watched for trading. Support is still held as yesterday at the 3322 and 3296 zones.
BTC - SetupWe are currently standing at a crucial area on $BTC.
We’re within two overlapping bearish trend reversal zones, which is putting selling pressure on price.
To hedge against my open long positions, I’ve opened a short position here — in case we see another drop to the liquidity below.
However, price could explode at any moment if a single bullish news comes in.
If the ceasefire between Israel and Iran is confirmed today (June 24, 2025), I expect us at ath prices.
That’s why I’ve already moved my short trade to break-even, and I’ll start taking profits once it reaches 3 R/R
Uptrend on EURUSDEURUSD has moved higher and is now testing the previous high.
This confirms the analysis and opens up additional buying opportunities.

Israel and Iran have a truce. Gold fluctuates sharply.Information summary:
Trump said on Truth Social that Israel and Iran have fully agreed and there will be a complete and thorough ceasefire. (About 6 hours from now, when Israel and Iran have finished and completed the last mission they are doing!).
After 12 hours, the war will be considered over. Iran will start a ceasefire first, and after the 12th hour, Israel will start a ceasefire, and 24 hours later, the world will salute the official end of this 12-day war.
Senior Iranian officials have confirmed that Tehran has agreed to a US-proposed ceasefire with Israel brokered by Qatar.
Market analysis:
From the current point of view of gold, the news market has been digested in the early Asian market, and gold has also fallen to around 3330. Now it is obvious that there may be a bottoming rebound.
But from the trend point of view, gold is still in the short position, and 3380 and 3400 have not been stabilized.
Judging from the current hourly chart, gold is likely to rebound to 3370-3380. Then it will quickly fall from this position to the early trading low of 3330. At the same time, we can also see that the trend near 3378 is at the Fibonacci 0.382 position. Moreover, the previous trend also rebounded from 3330 to 3380, and then fell back again.
So we need to be patient and wait for the price to rebound before going short. Of course, we can also choose an aggressive long strategy. Of course, we can also choose an aggressive long strategy.
Operation strategy:
Short near 3380, stop loss 3390, profit range 3350-3330.
Long near 3345, stop loss 3335, profit range 3370-3380.
Amazon swing trade ideaAmazon has fallen below its trendline and started to dip slightly despite the fact that the broad market is going higher. I have found an opportunity for a decent long entry and have ran the numbers, the intrinsic value of Amazon right now is between $180 and $520. Not only is it a retail giant but is an emerging technology innovator and investment company. I got about 4% of my portfolio allocated to it now.
ETHEREUM → Rally and liquidity capture. Up or down?BINANCE:ETHUSDT.P is strengthening following Bitcoin. This is a reaction to developments in the Middle East, namely Trump's comments on peace. But there are doubts...
The crypto market is reacting to the situation in the Middle East, namely Trump's statements about peace. But apart from him, no one else is talking about peace. No agreements have been reached, so the level of risk is quite high.
Another nuance hinting at the general mood in the market: 66% of the largest traders on Hyperliquid are currently shorting crypto — Cointelegraph
ETH, technically, has stopped in the trend resistance zone as part of a local rally in the Pacific session.
If there is not enough potential to break through the trend resistance and the price forms a false breakout of 2390, the local trend may continue
Resistance levels: 2433, 2475
Support levels: 2390, 2313
The inability to continue growth will confirm the fact of bearish pressure (market distrust of the bullish momentum). The past momentum, in hindsight, can be considered manipulation (liquidity capture). Consolidation below 2390 may trigger a decline.
Best regards, R. Linda!
