Gold Prices Today (December 31): Broad Decline Across the BoardHello, dear friends! Ben here!
Spot gold has successfully climbed past the $2,600 mark during the U.S. trading session, continuing its retreat from Friday's peak of $2,638.
Driving the current sentiment is the U.S. dollar (USD), which gained strength as Wall Street opened amidst lackluster performance in local indices. Weak trading volumes further intensified the drop in equities, fueling a short-term rally in the USD. Yet, despite these temporary setbacks, the three major indices are on track to close another year with impressive gains.
Meanwhile, market participants are shedding high-yield assets as uncertainty looms over what 2025 may bring. The Federal Reserve (Fed) has signaled its intent to slow the pace of rate cuts, given that inflation remains stubbornly high. Adding to the tension, former President Donald Trump is set to return to the White House on January 20, with his anticipated protectionist policies likely to exacerbate inflationary pressures in the years ahead.
Given these dynamics, a bearish outlook on gold remains dominant in the short and medium term. Attention is centered around the 2,610 resistance level—so long as sellers defend this zone, gold appears poised to decline further, with potential targets in the 2,596–2,587 range.

TradeCityPro | APEUSDT Calm in the NFT Market👋 Welcome to TradeCityPro Channel!
Let’s analyze one of the most well-known coins in the NFT space, which instantly reminds us of the NFT market whenever mentioned.
🌐 Overview Bitcoin
As usual, before starting the analysis, let’s take a look at Bitcoin on the 1-hour timeframe, where it seems the 92722 support has been faked. On the 4-hour timeframe, a good engulfing candle is forming near the year-end, which could be a positive sign.
Today's daily candle is very important. If it closes with good volume, we might consider a risky entry while keeping an eye on the market. If Bitcoin dominance rises, we might see Bitcoin's upward movement toward 115K, and if dominance falls, the altcoin market could offer better opportunities!
📊 Weekly Timeframe
In the weekly timeframe, we can see APE has risen from its last support at 0.557, finally showing signs of life and activity, which is promising for the NFT market, although more active projects like BLUR exist.
After being rejected from 1.883, the resistance level shifts to 2.335, which could mark the breakout point of the weekly box. Breaking this level could act as a trigger for buying, with a stop loss at 0.892.
If 0.892 breaks, it’s logical to set your stop loss below 0.557. Even if you are holding from before, it makes sense to exit your position and cash out below this level.
📈 Daily Timeframe
On the daily timeframe, after the break of 0.894, it was possible to buy with either a Risky stop loss at 0.67 , Secure stop loss at 0.545
If this trade was taken, it would have been reasonable to exit the initial investment at 1.943. If not, it’s better to currently do nothing and let the stop loss hit.
For re-entry, I’d likely wait for 1.943 or 1.269 to break while watching for capital inflow into the NFT market. Personally, I’d focus on other coins in the NFT space with newer features.
During the upward movement, volume increased, and during the correction, volume decreased, which is a positive sign for the bullish trend. Unlike some coins that returned to their daily boxes, APE hasn’t, which makes it slightly more bullish.
⏱ 4-Hour Timeframe
In the 4-hour timeframe, after the drop and rejection from 1.903, sellers are currently active, and the coin is within a box that defines its next move.
📈 Long Position Trigger
The strategy is clear—wait for a break of 1.280 with increased volume to open a long position. Be mindful of market conditions and manage risk with smaller position sizes. The current 4-hour candle looks promising.
📉 Short Position Trigger
After breaking 1.174, a short position can be opened with a target of 1.024, but use a tight stop loss. Once you hit your desired risk-to-reward ratio, manage the position or take profits quickly.
If stopped out, take a temporary break from the market.

NZDCAD sell Bias Network session Price hit my Daily Point Of Interest (POI) 0.81466 and didn't close above it. There's H4 rejection. 🫴
This is a sell bias for me. Hence I moved down a lower TF to check for Sweep of liquidity and a break to the downside. H2 shows that perfectly.
I'll be looking to sell from 0.81414 and my draw on Liquidity is 0.81031.

GBPUSD SELL IDEAThere are 2 entries as can be seen in this chart. The first is for scalpers to sell before the end of the day. The second is the main sell. Market makers would play around the first sell, causing a consolidation there that would probably end the days trade. Before going to grab liquidity at the open inefficiency for the final sell. Both options are accurate, but you risk more if you are not a swing or day trader at the first entry
EURUSD: Short to medium term perspectiveHello everyone!
EUR/USD extends its gains for the third consecutive day, trading around 1.0430 during the Asian session on Monday, showing no signs of slowing down. The pair's upward momentum is likely driven by comments from European Central Bank (ECB) Governing Council member Robert Holzmann.
The next resistance levels to watch are 1.0445, followed by 1.0500 and 1.0530.
GOLD NEXT MOVE (expecting a bearish move) (30-12-2024)Go through the analysis carefully and do trade accordingly.

Current Price: $2626

Gold → A Buying Opportunity or a Market Trap?OANDA:XAUUSD continuing to bring hope for buyers, trading inside the local upward channel resembles a flag on the backdrop of a local downtrend.
In the medium term, the dollar needs to be reassessed in the context of the Fed remaining supportive. This raises the question: What will happen to interest rates? Hold steady or increase? It must be understood that as Donald Trump prepares to return to the White House in January, the market will closely monitor U.S. economic data to forecast how the Federal Reserve will respond to anticipated inflationary pressures from administration policies, including tariffs, deregulation, and tax reform.
The focus remains on U.S. jobless claims data. Economists polled by Reuters forecast around 224,000 claims for the week ending December 21, up from 220,000 claims in the week ending December 14. If jobless claims figures rise significantly, this will put pressure on the USD, and the gold market may start trading with a slightly positive trend. And vice versa. However, Ben does not talk about growth based on these numbers. Theoretically, as prices approach strong resistance levels, selling pressure seems stronger. Be careful!
From a technical perspective, the price has the potential to rebound from any nearby strong level, which could lead to a subsequent decline. A key level to watch is 2620. If the bears manage to break this level and maintain their position below it, the overall selling pressure may intensify, likely resulting in a further price drop. The anticipated decline is expected to reach the range of 2,605–2,600 before setting up for any additional downward moves.
Best regards,Bentradegold!
Wishing everyone a joyful holiday season and a productive New Year 2025!
$OLLI bearish rising wedgeDoing some more homework here, NASDAQ:OLLI seems to be in a bearish rising wedge and broke out of it on the downside. Unusual flow I seen while doing my due diligence coming in sweeps and At Ask and Above Ask which indicates aggressive buying; looking to get in at any cost. I am seeing 100% Buys vs. Sells, flow is bearish sentiment, sweeps and roughly a total of $200K in premium. The stock jumped off earnings with revenue missing by over a 1% but earnings was below 1%. The dates here are Jan. 17th, 2025 and a Feb. 21st, 2025. I will be giving these a shot for a small bargain. Will update.
