WTI has a lot of technical pressureTVC:USOIL weakened in early trading in Asian markets on Monday (August 19), fluctuating near its lowest level in more than a week. Currently WTI crude oil is trading around 75 USD/barrel.
That added to traders' concerns about falling demand in the Asian giant, where refiners cut crude processing capacity last month amid sluggish fuel demand.
The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) last week lowered its forecast for oil demand growth this year due to weakness in the Asian giant's economy. The Paris-based International Energy Agency (IEA) last Tuesday lowered its oil demand growth forecast for 2025, citing weak demand from major countries in Asia.
On the other hand, according to the Lebanese National News Agency, the Israel Defense Forces carried out airstrikes on the 18th.
Lebanon's Hezbollah armed forces claimed to have attacked multiple targets in southern Lebanon, including Israeli military spy facilities.
On the 18th, the Israeli army launched multiple attacks on several towns on the Lebanese side of the temporary border between Lebanon and Israel.
Market sentiment this week will be determined by speeches from global central bankers at the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium.
The Jackson Hole Economic Symposium will be held from August 22 to 24 and Fed Chairman Powell will speak on the economic outlook on Friday as US inflation weakens but remains difficult and markets Weakened job market. Easing is imminent, but is unlikely to confirm continued expectations of significant interest rate cuts.
On the daily chart, WTI USOIL moved narrowly after falling below the price channel and structurally it has not yet formed a specific trend.
But technical factors are leaning more towards the possibility of price decline with the nearest resistance being noticed at the confluence area of the 0.382% Fibonacci retracement and EMA21.
As long as WTI crude oil cannot break and move above the 0.50% Fibonacci level, it does not have enough conditions for bullish expectations.
Meanwhile, once WTI crude oil continues to be sold below the 0.236% Fibonacci level and returns to the price channel, it will open a new technical down cycle. The notable point is that the Relative Strength Index is pointing down from the 50 level but has not yet reached the oversold level, showing that there is still room for technical price declines ahead.
During the day, the technical outlook for WTI crude oil leans towards a downside with notable levels listed as follows.
Support: 75.71USD
Resistance: 76.59 – 77.58USD

All-time high, GOLD prospects continue to increaseThe market fluctuated wildly in the past week, OANDA:XAUUSD skyrocketed from the week's low of 2,423USD to the weekend closing price of 2,508USD/oz and set a new all-time high. However, Iran could retaliate and attack Israel next week. Federal Reserve Chairman Powell's speech at the annual meeting in Jackson Hole is a market highlight that could once again cause volatility.
Next week, all eyes will be on the Federal Reserve symposium in Jackson Hole. The focus will be on Friday, when Powell gives a keynote speech on the economic outlook. First, they want confirmation that the Fed will cut interest rates in September. But as the Fed faces risks to both inflation and employment through recent macro data, the next move and the pace The next rate cut will become more complicated and of course this will bring even more intense fluctuations in the market in general and gold trading in particular.
The US economic calendar will not release any important data in the first half of next week.
Next Wednesday, the Federal Reserve will release the minutes of its July 30-31 meeting. At the post-meeting press conference, Fed Chairman Powell admitted there was “real discussion” about tapering interest rate at the July meeting.
Investors will pay attention to comments surrounding interest rate cut discussions. If the minutes show some policymakers favor a sudden rate cut in July, the USD could face fresh selling pressure and gold continues to be supported and pushed to renew levels. all time.
At the Jackson Hole meeting, even if Powell confirms a rate cut in September, it is unlikely to trigger a market reaction because such a decision is already fully priced in. In what could be a shock to markets, Powell will likely dismiss market expectations that the Fed could cut policy rates by 50 basis points at a future meeting, noting that they could will loosen policy at a steady pace. In this scenario, US Treasury bond yields could rise higher, putting gold prices under pressure to adjust in the short term.
Powell will likely use his speech in Jackson Hole to announce that the 'appropriate' time to cut interest rates is approaching.
With the support of the approaching interest rate cut environment and the increasingly complicated geopolitical developments and successive escalating moves, basically, the gold price is being absolutely supported by investors. increasing trend.
This has been mostly noticed by readers throughout the publications since the beginning of this year, all macro fundamentals will support gold to continue to increase in price, as it is a safe haven asset. leading in all cases of risk or monetary policy that does not support the USD.
Analysis of technical prospects for OANDA:XAUUSD
With outstanding strength from all fundamental factors, gold's technical chart also has all the important conditions necessary for an upward price trend.
The main trend is highlighted by the price channel and support from EMA21, which was brought to your attention in recent publications. On the other hand, gold has rallied to break the plateau and stay above the $2,500 level after achieving last week's upside price target in the $2,500 - $2,505 area.
The fact that gold closed above the 0.786% Fibonacci extension allows gold to continue to increase in price towards $2,544 in the short term when the Relative Strength Index points up but has not yet reached the overbought level. shows that there is still wide room for price increases ahead.
However, in the current market context, traders must be ready for huge fluctuations, when gold can also face strong correction sessions with the nearest support being the The previous all-time peak was broken at 2,484 USD.

#202434 - priceactiontds - weekly update - goldGood Evening and I hope you are well.
Quote from last week:
comment: Easy analysis. We are 4 points above last weeks close. We are in a triangle and exactly at the midpoint, again. Market is as neutral as it gets. Don’t make this more complicated than it needs to be. Either buy low and sell high inside given range or wait for a breakout.
comment: Bulls got a new ath but the highest monthly close so far was 2473 and there is no reason to expect a huge breakout above 2550 with follow through. If it happens, hopp along but odds favor the bears for another reversal like so many times in the last 4 months. No matter how you interpret the patterns on the chart, all favor a reversal and betting on a breakout after 4 months of trading range price action is a losing strategy in the long run. I am neutral and wait for bears to show strength but will join the bulls on a strong breakout above 2550.
current market cycle: trading range for many months now and it’s probably coming to an end over the next weeks/months —unchanged
key levels: 2400 - 2550
bull case: Bulls printed a new ath. They finally want their breakout above and much higher prices. All patterns are against them and the odds obviously also. I would not look for longs above 2500. If they could break above 2550 and any pullback would stay above 2530, their chances of another leg up would be decent.
Invalidation is below 2550.
bear case: Bears see the trading range since April and the nested bull wedge on lower time frames and want a reversal down to at least 2430 again. They absolutely need to close this month below 2500 or the breakout above could actually happen and market would have to find new resistance, which could be much much higher than 2550. As of now market is almost making only perfect two legged moves inside the trading range and bulls just had their second. Market favors a reversal if bears come around on Monday.
Invalidation is above 2550.
outlook last week:
short term: Neutral around 2475. Will only scalp this on momentum inside the triangle but swing will have to wait for a bigger breakout above or below. Want to see 2500 to look for shorts again.
→ Last Sunday we traded 2473 and now we are at 2537. Neutral outlook.
short term: Neutral until bears come around or strong break above 2550. If bears build good selling pressure, I want a retest of 2500 first and lower i look for 2470.
medium-long term: For now I think the most reasonable outlook I could give is a trading range 2200-2500. This could hold for some time. Bear in my still thinks this rally is moronic and we will see 2000 again this year but that’s as unreasonable of an outlook one could hold so don’t. —unchanged since May
current swing trade: None.
chart update: Removed the bear trend line.
#202434 - priceactiontds - weekly update - sp500Good Evening and I hope you are well.
Quote from last week:
comment: Market got to 5100 way faster than I expected but it was climactic selling and a pullback was expected. Not much difference in reasoning compared to dax and the same would apply to the nasdaq. Market is trying to find the big sellers again and we are probing higher. We will most likely hit the daily 20ema soon, which is around 5440 and that is also around the July low and therefore a breakout retest. After the 2 bull bars from Thursday & Friday, I do think the odds of disappointment for the bulls is greater than another bull bar on Monday.
comment: Not much difference to dax, just that this market was a tat stronger even. Bulls almost reversed completely but 7 consecutive bull bars is as climactic as it gets. A pullback is due but that does not mean you can short it at 5578. Could go further since the obvious pain trade is up.
current market cycle: Trading range.
key levels: 5000-5700
bull case: From panic to euphoria. Good times. Bulls want a close of the bear gap to 5650 now and if they manage that, no reason we can’t print a new ath. More likely though is that we stay below 5600 and go much more sideways and wait for a new impulse.
Invalidation is below 5400.
bear case: Bears are gone it seems. Best they can hope for now is to stay below 5600 and make the market go sideways. If big sellers appear again, first target would be 5500 and then a close below daily ema but that is very low probability as of now. No bigger update this week since parallels to dax are big and I do think it’s best to be neutral here and wait for a pullback and see where that goes.
Invalidation is above 5650.
outlook last week:
short term: Full bear mode if we stay below the daily ema. Retest of the lows is higher probability than breaking above the daily ema. I gave clear key levels, mark them and watch what the market does when it gets there.
→ Last Sunday we traded 5370 and now we are at 5578. My upper targets were 5450 and bulls just melted it. Part of outlook was ok because you don’t get bearish at climactic selling lows but this reversal is not anything that is likely to happen after such selling.
short term: Neutral af. Want to see a pullback and also how market reacts to 5600.
medium-long term: Same as dax. I wait and let market give more info. Right now it’s max confusion.
current swing trade: None.
chart update: Removed all but the small bear gap.
#202434 - priceactiontds - weekly updateGood Evening and I hope you are well.
Quote from last week:
comment : Above pretty much described exactly what happened last week and for now all my bearish targets are met. I still expect another test of the lows. These tests can be higher,lower or pretty much the same. You never ever know in advance and you have to trade it as it comes. After that retest we will likely see another pullback to the 20ema or previous pullback highs (right now 17862) and more sideways movement inside the current range. It’s always an obvious pattern that we get another strong leg in the trend direction, when the daily 20ema is close enough or we hit it 1-3 times. Going into next week I am absolutely neutral and I think 17700-17900 is a dead zone for trading. Want to see strong momentum in either direction for me to scalp.
comment: Breaking above the wedge bear flag after a -8% move is a low probability event but that’s what happened. Bulls are under the most recent bear trend line starting mid July and there is no reason why this should hold when all other technical resistance prices did not hold in the last 2 weeks. It sure looks like a cup where the handle is missing but after such wild moves, I will only ever be neutral and take the market hour by hour.
current market cycle: Big nope of that bear trend take last week. Trading range price action with a big range.
key levels: 17000 - 19000
bull case: Last Sunday I wrote about mostly overlapping bars for the bulls and since Thursday they left no doubt that this was not the start of the bear trend. Huge bull breakout above the previous bear gap to 18200 and they are not right at the minor bear trend line from mid July. If bulls are really strong, they can get a third push up and maybe a measured move from Thu/Fri which would bring us to 18800ish. The buying is climactic though and a pullback is expected over the next 1-2 days. Best for bulls would be if they would stay above 18000 and the daily ema/bull trend line.
Invalidation is below 17900.
bear case: 18000 was my target last week where we should reverse at latest and bulls just melted through it to 18400. Most traders knew the selling down to 17100 was climactic and a pullback was expected but most markets almost reversed all of it and dax is also on it’s way. Where does this leave the bears? Humbled to say the least. They are focussing on the two bear trend lines above us at 18430 and the big one from the ath at 18650. So my preferred path forward would look like the drawn bullish 5 wave series where we can expect some pullback over the next 1-2 days and a potential W5 to 18650 or higher but it is very possible that we stay below 18500 and trade back down.
Invalidation is above 18450.
outlook last week:
short term: Full bear mode. Pullback has two sided trading and I think a test below 17500 comes before 18000 but after a low, we should see another try from the bulls to print 18000 again or touch the daily 20ema. At which I will load up on shorts again, if we see bear strength.
→ Well, at least I wrote multiple times that a pullback could get to 18000 but since the bulls were just too strong on Thursday, I did not look for shorts as written last Sunday. Part of my outlook was ok but overall bearish reading was obviously as wrong as can be.
short term: Absolutely neutral. Big up, big down, big confusion.
medium-long term: Bearishness from the last weeks was wrong. Need to see price action this and maybe the week after to take another shot of an medium term outlook. Long term is still maximum bearishness but that does not help with trading because an early trade is a wrong trade.
current swing trade: Nope.
chart update: Removed the bear gap, wedge bear flag and added a potential 5 wave series and an alternative two legged correction.
8.18.2024 Gold Extended To ATHsGold has extended to all time highs. It has broken through out top zone, so we no longer have a top zone as resistance.
Drew a channel on the chart that it may turn at. We will need to see a change in structure (Lower Highs/Lows) in order to short it, back to out previous zone it had broken.
GOLD MARKET ANALYSIS AND COMMENTARY - [19 August - 23 August]This week, international gold prices have increased quite strongly. After falling slightly to 2,432 USD/oz, international gold prices soared to over 2,500 USD/oz and closed the week at 2,507 USD/oz.
International gold prices increased sharply this week because the market expected the FED to definitely cut interest rates at its September meeting. In addition, tensions between Israel and Iran have escalated, causing many investors to worry that this tension could lead to a war in the Middle East, increasing the haven demand for gold. In addition, the USD declined as the Atlantic Council's USD Dominance Monitor Report said the USD's share in global reserves reached 58% by 2024, down 14% compared to 2002 as many countries Countries, especially members of the BRICS bloc, seek to stay away from the USD.
The focus for the gold market next week will be the Jackson Hole conference. The FED Chairman will provide assessments and updates on the US economy and the outlook for the FED's monetary policy.
If at the Jackson Hole conference, the FED Chairman continues to affirm that he will cut interest rates in September, it may push gold prices higher next week. However, if the FED Chairman changes his tone again, saying that the FED needs to continue monitoring the economic situation before cutting interest rates, it will cause gold prices to decline next week.
📌Technically, on the H4 technical chart, the extended Fibonacci shows that the gold price can reach the Target around 2,590-2,600 USD/oz. Short-term trading plan for next week will be to buy if the price returns around 2470, and sell around 2590.
Notable technical levels are listed below.
Support: 2.470 – 2.484USD
Resistance: 2.4600 – 2.544USD

GOLD MARKET ANALYSIS AND COMMENTARY - [12 August - 16 August]This week, OANDA:XAUUSD continued to fall sharply on Monday due to the Nikkei index falling 12%, leading to a sharp decline in global stock markets, forcing investors to sell gold to supplement their deposits. stock investment. At one point, the international gold price dropped to 2,364 USD/oz. However, immediately after that, gold prices continuously recovered because investors expected the FED to cut interest rates by up to 50 basis points in September. Accordingly, gold price climbed to 2,436 USD/oz and closed at 2,430 USD/oz. This may be a stepping stone for gold price increases next week.
In the coming week, there are quite a few important economic data that can strongly impact gold prices, such as the US Producer Price Index (PPI) released on Tuesday, followed by the Consumer Price Index (CPI). ) announced on Wednesday, followed by retail sales, a preliminary survey of consumer sentiment by the University of Michigan for August... In which, PPI, CPI are forecast to continue to decrease slightly, creating favorable Conditions for the FED to cut interest rates next September may support gold prices next week.
In addition, many FED officials, such as Mr. Bostic, Musalem, Harker, and Goolsbee, will give speeches on monetary policy. However, according to many experts, most of these officials support the FED in cutting interest rates. This is also considered one of the driving forces for gold prices next week.
Technically, from a long-term perspective, gold prices still show an upward trend across time frames when prices are still above the moving average lines (EMA34, 89). However, a divergence signal has appeared on the D1 frame, while on the Weekly frame, the price of gold is quite far away from the EMA lines (the price can adjust to or move sideways with a wide range waiting to intersect with the average lines). The above 2 signals recommend that we should not join the buying side at this time. If we are buying, we should wait for price corrections.
Notable technical levels are listed below.

Resistance: 2.437 – 2.453 – 2.484USD

Oil slips again and Geopolitical tensions rise In my last post about Oil, I said that "Oil has a good possibility to get back to the range of 83.50 and 84.50", but also "Oil had broken 3 LH's that were created between July 22nd, 2024 and August 1st, 2024". I also mentioned that "we can see a pullback in the ranges of 78.84 and 77.12". In my outlook at the top of the week, I said that I was on the buyer's side until price showed otherwise. Now, price is showing signs of not continuing buys but settling into seller's territory.
In this latest out look, I'm going to give you my insight on where the market can possibly go going into next week. Around early 6AM, price broke the HL from last Friday that shot Oil up all the way to the 77.89 area on this past Monday. On Tuesday, price created the "M" formation signaling that sellers were now starting to step in that sent the market selling for the rest of the week. On today Friday, August 16th, Price hit a demand area that sent price shooting past the HL that i stated early in my typing. This could potentially mean that we are now in seller's territory for a minute depending on how the markets may move going into next week. We did leave a gap above after yesterday's sell movement that can send price back that way from Monday going into Tuesday depending on market conditions. I believe if price goes back that way it can be just to create a LH, IF price doesn't make buying structure. Right now my current outlook is bias until the market finds its footing from Monday-Tuesday.
Amid Oil selling from the technical side, Oil is facing rocky streets from fear of the United States economy as investors are getting ready to brace for interest rate cuts and other things going on in different countries. From Fed Powell, to Iran retaliation, and to China's weak economy, Oil is in some unpredictable territory especially with a lot of geopolitical tensions rising. Next week news combined with technicals will give a greater outlook on Oil.
GOLD still has all the conditions for price increasesUS economic data was stronger than expected and markets predict these data could influence the extent of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. The USD and US bond yields increased, causing gold prices to encounter some difficulties for expectations of price increases.
OANDA:XAUUSD gave up gains earlier this week, after US inflation data showed inflation eased in July. However, gold remains near all-time highs set last month. Since the beginning of this year, gold prices have increased 19%, mainly due to optimistic market expectations about loosening monetary policies and gold purchasing activities of central banks.
The latest data released by the United States shows that the core consumer price index (CPI) in July, which is a price index that excludes food and energy costs, fell to its lowest level compared to the same month last year. since the start of 2021. This suggests inflationary pressures have eased, supporting the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates next month.
U.S. retail sales rose 1.0% last month after falling 0.2% in June, the U.S. Commerce Department's Census Bureau said.
In particular, a report from the US Department of Labor showed that the number of Americans newly applying for unemployment benefits last week fell to its lowest level in a month.
According to CME's "Fed Watch" data, the probability of the Fed cutting interest rates by 25 basis points in September is 70.5% and the probability of cutting interest rates by 50 basis points is 29.5%.
The probability that the Fed will cut interest rates by 50 basis points cumulatively until November is 59.1%, the probability that the Fed will cut interest rates by 75 basis points cumulatively is 36.2%, and the probability that the Fed will cut interest rates The cumulative yield of 100 basis points is 4.8%.
As a non-interest-paying asset, gold prices typically increase when interest rates fall. As inflation slows, expectations of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve will increase, further boosting gold's appeal. In addition, gold purchasing activities of central banks around the world have also become reliable support for gold prices.
In addition to monetary policy, geopolitical instability is also a major factor driving gold demand. Tensions in the Middle East and conflict between Russia and Ukraine have increased gold's appeal as a safe haven asset.
Analysis of technical prospects for OANDA:XAUUSD
On the daily chart, gold is slowing down after a string of highly volatile trading days with price activity around the key technical area of $2,455 – $2,448.
Although gold has strong downward corrections at times, in terms of the overall technical chart, it still has the main prospect of price increase. With the price channel as the main trend and main support from the EMA 21.
The fact that gold keeps its price activity above the 0.50% Fibonacci extension level allows it to continue to increase with a short-term target of around 2,471USD, the price point of the 0.618% Fibonacci extension.
As long as gold remains within the price channel and above the 21 EMA, its technical outlook remains bullish, while the Relative Strength Index has not yet reached overbought levels and is above 50 indicating There is still a lot of room for price increases ahead.
Note: From 2023 until now, gold has had huge fluctuations because traders must always be ready for trading sessions with large amplitudes.
Unlike previous years, when 2-3% trading days were very rare and it took a lot of time for gold to fluctuate like that. But in a market context with many sudden fundamental impacts, the price of gold can completely change 2-3% in just a few hours.
The best advice is just to be patient and look for solid positions and strictly manage the trade size relative to the trading account.
During the day, the technical outlook for gold prices remains bullish with notable levels listed below.
Support: 2,448 – 2,426USD
Resistance: 2,471USD

What a time to be alive. Panic selling and now panic buying. Many markets are close to completely reversing the move from last week and Monday. For bulls to just slice through the bear trend line and every technical resistance there was, is something you will not see often on a daily chart. You can’t be anything but max bullish, since every small dip is bought. Until that stops and no one knows when, you have to look for longs.
tl;dr
Indexes - As mentioned above. Look for longs until we start making lower lows again and breaking 1h 20ema. SP500 made almost 9% in 8 days. If you are nerdy, go find other examples of something like that happening, after a equal move down before. Truly astonishing.
dax futures
comment: Bears lost and bulls got a give up bar today. Complete meltup and can’t be anything but max bullish going into tomorrow. So far dax respect no resistance and you can’t expect it to start tomorrow. Everything can happen, so a reversal is never out of the question but it’s not the probable thing for tomorrow. Obvious target above is now the August high at 18633.
current market cycle: bear flag inside the bear trend (very very low chance this is still that) - more likely we are in a giant trading range 17000 - 19000. We know once we break above 18400
key levels: 17000 - 19000
bull case: Market was going nowhere but the data release at 2:30 pm CET did the trick and we just melted higher until market transitioned into a trading range. No selling pressure anywhere. Bulls want a measured move up to 18500 or higher. 1h 20ema should not be hit or market should not have any close below it.
Invalidation is below 18200.
bear case: Bears gave up today, which most likely means that we get follow through tomorrow and go big green into the weekend. I can’t see bears coming around at 18300. More likely they try 18500 or 18600 but it’s a rough guess. Just do not look for shorts.
Invalidation is above 18700.
short term: max bullish for 18500 or higher.
medium-long term: 17000/17100 was my target for at least 3 months now and bears got it. We are in a correction since we dropped more than 10% from the ath. Many long term trader buy a 5%, 10%, … dip and a bounce here was expected. I do think we are in a bear trend which will most likely lead down to 15600 or 15000 over the next months but we can only be more certain, once this pullback is done and we make new lows below 17000 and have a channel from which we can calculate new targets. I called the highs in early July and there is a decent chance we will not see them for a long time.
Update: Will update this on the weekend. If we stay below 18700, small chance it could still be valid but if we go above, it’s just one giant trading range for longer.
current swing trade: None.
trade of the day: Buying 18000 was good.
2024-08-14 - priceactiontds - daily update - goldGood Evening and I hope you are well.
tl;dr
Gold - Insane price action tbh. Technically lower lows and lower highs but 40 points down and then 30 points up is also something special. I do think the 2519 highs can hold but it’s only reasonable to be neutral while the market oscillates that hard around 2500.
comment: Neutral after today but market is still contracting. Lower highs and higher lows means market is undecided and the triangle is big enough for another 5-10 days inside it. Bears have a reasonable argument that the 2519 high can hold and we are in the upper third of the triangle, shorts are favored.
current market cycle: trading range (triangle on the daily chart)
key levels: 2400 - 2536
bull case: Bulls prevented the climactic sell off for 40 points and retraced most of it. They need a higher high above 2510 to retest 2520. 1h 20ema is completely flat. Not more magic to it right now.
Invalidation is below 2490.
bear case: Bears are statistically favored for shorts in the upper third of the trading range. That’s about it for now. They need a 1h close below 2490 to test 2480 again and then hope for follow through down.
Invalidation is above 2522.
short term: Neutral. Bullish above 2510 and bearish below 2480 but just for scalps.
medium-long term: For now I think the most reasonable outlook I could give is a trading range 2200-2500. This could hold for some time. Bear in my still thinks this rally is dumb and we will see 2000 again this year but that’s as unreasonable of an outlook one could hold so DON’T. —adjusted 2450 to 2500
current swing trade: None
trade of the day: Selling 2510 was good for many days now and continues to be so.

GOLD recovers after adjustment by CPI dataOANDA:XAUUSD recovered after a slight decline when the latest US CPI report dampened expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates sharply next month.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released a report Wednesday saying the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 0.2% month-over-month and 2.9% year-over-year in July. Economists surveyed previously expected the index to increase 0.2% month-on-month and 3% year-on-year. Excluding food and energy costs, U.S. core CPI in July rose 0.2% month-on-month and 3.2% year-over-year, both in line with expectations. .
The Chicago Mercantile Exchange's "Fed Tracker" shows that the market now expects a 35% chance of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates by 50 basis points in September, compared with a 50% chance before the data release. US CPI data.
However, a rate cut in September is a certainty; Current data shows that the Federal Reserve initially only intended to cut interest rates by 25 basis points, which has disappointed markets where expectations for a 50 basis point cut were previously higher. Cutting interest rates will more or less bring support to gold prices when the USD loses important support from the high interest rate environment.
On the other hand, the geopolitical situation still has many potential risks and gold is always a safe haven asset when geopolitical developments become complicated.
Analysis of technical prospects for OANDA:XAUUSD
On the daily chart, although gold has corrected downwards before, maintaining price activity above the 0.50% Fibonacci extension is a positive signal for the short-term uptrend.
In the immediate future, gold will be limited by the technical level of 2,455 USD noted by readers in yesterday's edition and once gold breaks this level, it has the potential to increase further to the target level then around. Fibonacci extension level 0.618%.
In a negative case, gold could be sold below the $2,426 technical level if support at $2,448 is broken below. So traders who buy gold should be prepared for this scenario, but the main trend will still be bullish because 2,426USD is also the confluence of Fibonacci 0.382% and EMA21.
As long as gold remains above the EMA21 and within the price channel, its technical outlook remains bullish with notable positions listed below.

BTC to 34,200 - But that’s not the bottom I anticipate Bitcoin to drop a correction sequence - 34,500 level as a first low
From here, we should watch for a major resistance to hold around 43,000 - this indicates a further drop to the 10,000 level
If Bitcoin drops at speed we know why - DXY is seeing a major breakdown and bearish retest. This indicates an extended 1-2 year bull market - prior to which to market has interest in recollecting liquidity at these ultra lows
This is my take on the market and has been for months. I expect this to happen in the short term timespan
2024-08-14 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well.
tl;dr
Indexes - Another grind higher and most markets are at big round numbers and near their daily 20ema. Tomorrow one side will give and I have no opinion who will win this. I think it’s absolutely 50/50.

comment: Expanding triangle nested inside the bull wedge right under 18000. Bears are in do or die mode at this price and at least showed some selling pressure today but everything is bought. Until we see consecutive bigger bear bars below 17900, all is bullish. Bulls need a strong breakout above 18000 but the daily 20ema is at 18046 and that will be the biggest resistance so far.
current market cycle: bear flag inside the bear trend
key levels: 17100 - 17900 - smaller tf range is 17700 - 18000
bull case: Bulls refuse to let the market go down and yet today closed again almost exactly at the opening price. The EU session is absolutely not buying this rally and yet we grind higher. Bulls tried to get a decent close above 17970 today but failed miserably. I have no imagination how they could strongly break above 18000 but since we are right under it, it is a real possibility. Bulls only target left for now is a daily close above the daily ema which is at 18050ish. If they achieve that, we are probably free to melt to 18300.
Invalidation is below 17850.
bear case: Bears are trying but they are not doing enough. Since the daily volume is atrocious, I do think many traders are sidelined and waiting rather than buying the dip. Will see tomorrow and Friday on where we close this week. Bears have their do or die moment again at 18000. Either reverse or give up and let the bear gap close to 18200. I don’t have any reasonable arguments for the bears on why we would suddenly trade below 17800 again. For now they are not doing enough.
Invalidation is above 18050.
short term: Neutral until breakout to either side. Bullish above 18050 and bearish below 17850.
medium-long term: 17000/17100 was my target for at least 3 months now and bears got it. We are in a correction since we dropped more than 10% from the ath. Many long term trader buy a 5%, 10%, … dip and a bounce here was expected. I do think we are in a bear trend which will most likely lead down to 15600 or 15000 over the next months but we can only be more certain, once this pullback is done and we make new lows below 17000 and have a channel from which we can calculate new targets. I called the highs in early July and there is a decent chance we will not see them for a long time.
current swing trade: None.
trade of the day: Buying 17900 and selling 17970. Trading range price action. Buy low, sell high and scalp.

Ready, focus on CPI data this trading dayThe US dollar and US bond yields rose slightly after US producer price data reinforced hopes of a Federal Reserve rate cut in September, while gold prices hovered near highs all-time record set in July.
OANDA:XAUUSD attracted some profit-taking as it approached monthly highs tested earlier on Tuesday and pared Monday's sharp gain of more than 1%.
Overall positive sentiment in equity markets has dampened demand for traditional safe-haven assets and weighed on precious metals amid a market focus on closely watched inflation data. of America.
In terms of the fundamental picture, gold still has a lot of support to become a top priority
Investors remain concerned about the possibility of broader conflict in the Middle East and the impact of the protracted Russia-Ukraine conflict.
In addition, the dovish expectations of the Federal Reserve (Fed) will no longer support the US Dollar (USD) and will act as a favorable tailwind for gold prices.
Data released Tuesday showed U.S. producer prices rose less than expected in July, suggesting inflation continued to slow.
Traders now await US consumer price index (CPI) data for July today (Wednesday) and retail sales data due (Thursday) for further impetus to the move. The next policy stance of the US central bank.
Today (Wednesday), investors will receive more important US consumer price index (CPI) data. Markets generally expect that if inflation continues to show signs of slowing, the Federal Reserve may adopt a more accommodative monetary policy stance.
Surveys show that the annual US CPI increase in July is expected to remain at 3.0%. Annual core CPI growth is expected to slow to 3.2% from 3.3% last month.
If the CPI data is lower than expected, this will further pave the way for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates, and support gold prices.
On the geopolitical side
According to sources from Reuters, Iranian officials said: Only a ceasefire in Gaza can delay retaliation
