GOLD/XAUUSD Aiming for New Highs? While the US and BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) aren’t in a formal trade war, tensions are rising. BRICS nations are working to reduce reliance on the US dollar, challenging its dominance in global trade. This “de-dollarization” effort and geopolitical shifts, like sanctions on Russia and US-China disputes, are fueling uncertainty. The USD surged by over 7.1% and was the only currency to see a positive growth in 2024.
What This Means for Gold?
Gold thrives during uncertainty. As BRICS push for alternatives to the dollar and tensions with the US escalate, demand for gold could rise:
Hedge Against Currency Risks: If BRICS reduce dollar usage, the dollar might weaken, boosting gold’s appeal.
Geopolitical Tensions: Gold is a safe-haven asset investors flock to during economic instability.
Global economic shifts are driving gold’s narrative. Trade wisely!

Conflicting signals for the S&P 500 just off its record highThe S&P 500 closed less than 4 points from its record high on Wednesday. On one hand, the reversal candle with bearish volumes suggest a pullback, on the other we've seen bears humbled under similar scenarios over the past 18 months. Today I explain why I think a bullish breakout is on the cards, while highlighting my bearish concerns for market positioning.

#NIFTY Intraday Support and Resistance Levels - 22/01/2025Gap up opening expected in nifty near 23150 level. After opening if it's give reversal from this level then expected downside upto 23000 and this can be extend for further 100-150+ points in case nifty starts trading below 22950 level. Any upside rally only expected if it is starts trading and sustain above 23200 level.
Analyzing USDCHF Using Support and ResistanceUSDCHF (US Dollar vs. Swiss Franc) is currently trading at 0.904, with a target price of 0.890, indicating a bearish outlook. This presents a potential gain of 100+ pips if the target level is achieved. The analysis is based on a support and resistance pattern, suggesting that the current price is below a key resistance level, which acts as a barrier to upward movement. The next support level is identified at the target price of 0.890, where the price is expected to stabilize or reverse. This implies a short-selling opportunity to profit from the anticipated price drop. The strategy assumes the price will continue its downward trend without breaking above the resistance level. Traders should closely monitor the price action near the resistance and support levels for confirmation. Effective risk management is crucial to account for potential price rebounds. The setup is ideal for technical traders focusing on price action and key levels. This plan is aligned with the overall market trend, reinforcing its validity.
GBP/USD--> Bulls pause, uptrend still intactFX:GBPUSD entered a temporary corrective phase after a two-day rally, pulling back to the 1.2300 region during the early European session on Wednesday. This move comes as the U.S. Dollar regains strength amid heightened demand for safe-haven assets, driven by growing trade war concerns under the Trump administration.
On the 4H chart, despite the current dip, the broader structure remains bullish. The pair continues to trade above the EMA 34 and EMA 89, which are acting as dynamic support levels. Additionally, the formation of higher lows underscores the strength of the upward trend.
Key Levels to Watch:
0.618 Fib retracement at 1.2288: A potential area for bulls to regroup.
0.5 Fib retracement at 1.22363: The next major support zone if the correction deepens.
A sustained hold above these levels could fuel renewed buying momentum, potentially setting the stage for a continuation of the broader uptrend.
$DXY Dollar on Deck: Will Tariffs Ignite or Undermine the Green TVC:DXY Dollar on Deck: Will Tariffs Ignite or Undermine the Greenback? 🔥💰
Is the U.S. Dollar about to flex its muscles like the Incredible Hulk—or get knocked out by global trade tensions? Let’s find out. 💪⚡
1/
Is the U.S. Dollar about to “Hulk out” 💪 or trip over its own shoelaces? Let’s break down the latest on the Dollar Index ( TVC:DXY ) after new tariff chatter. 🧵
2/
Markets briefly cheered Trump’s slower tariff rollout, fueling an S&P rally. But lingering threats against China, the EU, & NAFTA partners keep investors on edge—and that spells potential volatility for the dollar. ⚠️
3/
Near-term catalyst? February 1. Tariffs could jump to 10% on Chinese imports & 25% on Canada/Mexico. Higher import costs might boost the dollar (safe-haven appeal + inflation expectations), but watch for global retaliation. 🌐
4/
Tariffs + inflation = possible dollar strength. When prices rise, the greenback often flexes. But if the global economy slows due to aggressive trade policies, the TVC:DXY could feel the burn. 🔥
5/
Currency manipulation reviews by April 1 add more spice. If the U.S. takes action against “manipulators,” some see it as bullish for the buck. Others fear a global trade skirmish that drags everyone down. 🤔
6/
From a technical angle:
• Watch key support/resistance levels.
• Safe-haven flows could drive TVC:DXY up.
• Swift reversals are possible if markets sense overreach or a global slowdown. 📈📉
7/
Where do you see TVC:DXY heading with these tariff moves?
A) Strong rally ahead 🚀
B) Short spike, then slump ⬇️
C) Range-bound and choppy 🤷♂️

Gold update: Bulls remain in control!Hello everyone! Let’s dive into today’s gold price analysis.
Currently, spot gold is trading at $2,750 per ounce, marking an impressive increase of $53 from its intraday low of $2,697 during last night’s session.
The rise in gold prices is primarily a direct result of a weakening U.S. dollar. Investors, including myself, are flocking to gold as a safe-haven asset amid rising uncertainties. Adding to this momentum is the looming threat of tariffs from President Donald Trump. His hints at imposing new tariffs on Canadian and Mexican goods, possibly as early as February 1, have sparked widespread concerns.
In my view, these tariff threats are closely tied to inflation fears. Should Trump’s policies drive inflation higher, the Federal Reserve may be compelled to maintain elevated interest rates to manage price pressures. This scenario would further support gold’s price trajectory, making it a critical asset to watch in the coming trading sessions.
On the technical front, as highlighted on the 1-hour chart, gold has successfully broken above the major resistance level of the ascending wedge channel. The price is currently consolidating above this boundary, with support from the EMA 34 and EMA 89, making a buy strategy more attractive than ever.
Gold may experience a minor pullback or consolidation from the psychological level of $2,750, possibly testing the key 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level, before resuming its upward trend. However, a decisive break above $2,750 would signal that the metal is primed for its next rally.
Happy trading, and may your profits soar!
Gold → A Bear Wedge Pattern is forming. What's Next?OANDA:XAUUSD consolidating above the 2715 level, while simultaneously a bearish wedge pattern maintains the recent upward trend. Theoretically, the price will break the support level, creating a breakout at the 2715 zone.
On the H1 timeframe, the support zone of 2715-2715 has formed and price is moving towards reacting at this support area. If buyers maintain this zone, price may retest the upper boundary of the rising channel or the important psychological level of 2748 before further decline. However, a breakthrough below this level will lead to an earlier price drop. Additionally, the USD is also consolidating above the support zone, creating a corresponding reaction in the gold market.
Resistance levels: 2738, 2748, 2758
Support levels: 2716, 2703, 2693
I expect a correction following the false break of the 2715 level. Price consolidation below this level will lead to a deeper decline.
Wed 22nd Jan 2025 GBP/CAD Daily Forex Chart Buy SetupGood morning fellow traders. On my Daily Forex charts using the High Probability & Divergence trading methods from my books, I have identified a new trade setup this morning. As usual, you can read my notes on the chart for my thoughts on this setup. The trade being a GBP/CAD Buy. Enjoy the day all. Cheers. Jim
Gold---> Change in fundamentals. Strong resistanceDear friends, what are your thoughts on gold?
Overall, gold has seen a significant increase yesterday, with a price rise surpassing the 2720 level. It is currently trading at a new high of 2728, showing strong gains for the day. So what reasons and factors have driven this?
Regarding the influencing factors: Safe-haven money flows have strengthened following statements about tariff policies from former President Trump, along with expectations that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will continue to cut interest rates. These factors have put pressure on US Treasury yields, creating positive momentum for gold. However, risks from the mild recovery of the USD and optimistic risk sentiment in the market are somewhat restraining stronger upward momentum.
Regarding new prospects for gold: On the H4 chart, according to Joe's personal view, gold is currently receiving strong support at 2620. Breaking below this level would lead to price decreases, while maintaining it would result in price increases. Upon careful observation, it's noteworthy that the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is trending downward in the bullish zone, indicating potential momentum changes and the revival of correction possibilities. If a correction occurs, we cannot rule out the possibility that gold will utilize short-term momentum to test the area of interest at the upper boundary within the bullish channel, from which a decline may occur.
Best regards, Joegoldwave!
GOLD DAILY CHART MID/LONG TERM UPDATEHello Everyone,
Here’s the latest update on the daily chart we’ve been tracking and trading, providing an overview of the current range.
On the daily timeframe, there’s a strong resistance level at 2790, which may cause a rejection. Below this resistance, there is a Fair Value Gap (FVG) at 2740, which could provide support and help the price hold above.
To simplify your trades, we’ve included entry levels and take profit (TP) targets (TP1, TP2, TP3) aligned with the EMA5. The EMA5 crossing and holding above these weighted levels will determine the subsequent targets.
Key Update:
EMA5 lock is now in place, providing additional confirmation for the gap.
Strategy Highlights:
ENTRY LEVEL: 2744
If a candle closes above this level and EMA5 crosses it for confirmation, we’ll look to enter bullish positions.
First Target (TP1): 2804
Apply the same strategy to determine TP2 and TP3.
Rejection Scenario:
For ranging markets, focus on smaller timeframes (15M, 1H, 4H, 12H) to buy dips from weighted levels.
Target clean 40-60 pips moves, which work well in these conditions while avoiding the risks of long-term swings.
Dip-Buying Strategy:
Continue buying dips at our support levels, targeting 40–60 pips per trade.
Each level structure offers a 40–60 pip bounce, ideal for precise entry and exit points.
Monitor the EMA5 crossing and locking above or below the ENTRY LEVEL to confirm the next directional range.
Stay focused and trade wisely!

Netflix (NFLX): Explosive growth, but caution aheadNetflix ( NASDAQ:NFLX ) is set to open 14% higher after adding a record-breaking 18.9 million subscribers in Q4—nearly double Wall Street’s expectations and well above the early 2020 peak of 15.8 million. These incredible numbers have sparked a strong market reaction, and the enthusiasm is well-justified.
Following this update, we’ve re-evaluated the chart. While we anticipate the potential for more upside, it’s unlikely that NASDAQ:NFLX will continue climbing without a significant correction at some point. The trendline since May 2022 has proven its importance, serving as resistance nine times before being flipped into support and holding firm on a key retest.
Currently, Netflix is approaching the significant psychological level of $1,000. If this level is reclaimed, a further push toward $1,070 and even $1,300 could materialize. However, we’re exercising caution as major levels and target zones have already been achieved. There is a chance—albeit slim—that today’s earnings gap could mark the top of wave ((v)) and wave 3.
For now, we’re waiting for further developments and will decide our next steps as the stock’s trajectory becomes clearer. Stay tuned for updates.
EURUSD → Efforts to shift the global trendFX:EURUSD breaking the boundaries of the prolonged downtrend channel, the pair is currently struggling below the resistance level at 1.0448, aiming for consolidation that could set the stage for a further rally of at least 100 to 200 pips.
The global trend remains bearish, and it is still too early to confidently declare a reversal. Prices are facing significant pressure at the critical resistance level of 1.0448. However, signs of a potential breakout are beginning to emerge in this area. If the US dollar continues its corrective movement, EURUSD could have a chance to confirm a shift in the current trend. A decisive breakout above 1.0448, followed by consolidation, could pave the way for the next bullish momentum.
Key levels to watch:
Resistance levels: 1.0448, 1.0607
Support levels: 1.033, 1.0222
Currently, all eyes are on the critical resistance level of 1.0448. A breakout and stability above this level could provide an attractive entry point for long positions, setting the stage for the next phase of growth.
Sincerely, Bentradegold!
Gold prices continue to increase from the level 2675OANDA:XAUUSD continuing the uptrend in local and medium-term timeframes. The price is once again testing strong resistance levels on the H4 chart, with prospects for a breakout toward the 2700–2750 range.
The US Dollar remains near weekly lows, touched after weaker-than-expected US PPI data on Tuesday, providing key support for the market, including gold. Attention now shifts to the upcoming CPI report, a critical release that could reshape market expectations for Fed rate cuts this year. A stronger-than-expected CPI could increase pressure on gold, while a weaker report would bolster buying momentum. Additionally, the Fed’s hawkish stance is supported by the premise that Trump, beginning his second term next week, may drive inflation higher with protectionist policies.
From a technical perspective, significant volume lies ahead, which could trigger a minor pullback toward support before the uptrend resumes.
Key short-term levels to watch:
Support: 2678, 2670
Resistance: 2690, 2697
However, in both the short and medium term, everything hinges on the upcoming scheduled news. Stay focused on these critical levels, traders!
Best regards, Bentradegold!
GOLD → A very strong uptrend may get its continuationOANDA:XAUUSD is rising due to heightened geopolitical and political risks. A strong bullish trend is forming, where the price is testing the strong resistance level of 2726 and creating a false breakout of this resistance.
The upward movement is gaining momentum following threats of tariffs by Trump, which have added to the negative market sentiment regarding risk. Trump has proposed imposing tariffs on Mexico and Canada, as well as the EU and China, if trade agreements are not reached. These threats are supporting the demand for gold as a safe-haven asset. However, the strengthening U.S. dollar and expectations of a Fed rate cut are limiting gold's further upward momentum. Trading in the coming days will depend on the overall market sentiment and Trump's tariff discussions.
From a technical perspective, the false breakout of such a strong resistance level could temporarily slow the growth rate and lead to price consolidation or correction. However, there are technical nuances to consider.
Currently, it's important to note the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level (2716) and the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level (2711). These are significant liquidity zones that could prevent a deeper correction and push gold back into its bullish trend. A retest of the local highs at 2726 - 2732 would signal that the metal is ready for further upward movement.

Litecoin on the Verge of a Breakout: Are You Ready for a Rally?Hello, Traders!
After reaching a local high last month, Litecoin entered a correction phase but is now showing signs of recovery.
A few days ago, LTC came close to retesting its previous local high before undergoing a minor pullback.
Currently, it appears that LTC has found strong support in the $95-$100 range, forming a local bottom. I don’t expect the price to dip below this area.
On the upside, there’s a clear resistance zone in the $135-$145 range, which has been tested twice but not yet broken.
The price action suggests that Litecoin is building momentum for a breakout above this level.
If this breakout occurs, it could serve as a catalyst for a parabolic rally.
In such a scenario, the next target will likely be the $200 price level, which aligns with the psychological round number.
Beyond $200, further upside targets could emerge depending on market conditions, particularly if broader market sentiment remains bullish.
Traders should watch for confirmation of the breakout above $145, accompanied by strong volume, as this will increase the likelihood of sustained upward movement
