xauusd what is happening?Gold (XAU/USD) Market Overview – April 22, 2025
🧨 Geopolitical & Trade Tensions
Ongoing US-China trade disputes and President Trump’s tariff policies continue to amplify uncertainty.
Market chatter on platforms like X (formerly Twitter) reflects investor anxiety over potential global trade disruptions, increasing gold’s appeal as a safe-haven asset.
💵 US Dollar Dynamics
The US dollar remains weak, partly due to Trump’s continued criticism of Fed Chair Jerome Powell and his calls for rate cuts.
A weaker dollar supports gold by making it more attractive to international investors.
🏦 Institutional & Central Bank Demand
Strong ETF inflows: Over 23 tonnes added in a single session, suggesting large-scale accumulation.
Central banks, particularly China, continue adding gold to reserves—contributing to bullish long-term sentiment.
🧯 Macro Environment
Persistent inflation concerns and dovish central bank policies are reinforcing gold's status as an inflation hedge.
Markets await US retail sales data and Fed Chair Powell’s speech, which could introduce volatility or direction.

Gold Price Analysis April 23Candle D has a clear bearish confirmation and the 4-line structure is being continuously sold, leading to the gold price falling nearly 200 prices from ATH.
Today's strategy will mainly be SELL following the market trend. At the end of the European session, the price breaks 3319, then wait for a retest to BUY up towards the resistance zones of 3379 - 3345. If it does not break 3319, then SELL Gold back to 3275 and 3247. Pay attention to the price reactions in the chart areas to have a reasonable BUY and SELL strategy.
Victorias Secret (VSCO) Bull Run Incoming? Insider Signals?Victorias Secret & Co. (VSCO) Based in Ohio, USA has recently seen a dip in asset value to $16, but recovery could be imminent.
On the 1 Day chart both a bullish RSI divergence and CVD divergence seems to be forming. The DMI appears to show the bearish directional movement is slowing, and the ADX still remains above 20.
In march Insiders were reported to have purchased 1.92M shares. Conversely only 20,000 shares were sold by Insiders (Robinhood Analytics). Insider activity may indicate undisclosed company confidence.
The order book shows a decent number of open interest for $25.00. Subsequently this price target is located near key resistance areas that in my opinion, price will most likely touch in the near future.
Earnings are set to be released in May and traders and institutions may begin to price in fundamental factors before the report .
Given the above technical and fundamental signals, insider activity, and approaching earnings report. My hypothesis is bullish with a price target of $25.00 before 06/20/2025.
Will tariffs and politics stop VSCO's upwards movement? Or do the technicals and Insider moves signal a current discounted buy?

XAGUSD - Retest of Local Top Likely to Precede Deeper CorrectionSilver has staged an impressive recovery from its early April low near $2,830, rallying back toward the key psychological level of $3,300. Currently, price action suggests we'll see a final push higher into the resistance zone highlighted in blue (approximately $3,300-$3,320) before encountering significant selling pressure. This anticipated pullback makes technical sense considering the speed of the recent recovery and the horizontal resistance level at $3,250, which has historically acted as a significant pivot point. Traders should exercise caution as silver approaches this resistance zone, as exhaustion signals may soon emerge after this rapid recovery phase, potentially offering favorable short-entry opportunities once the retest completes.

BTCUSD - Technical Structure Shows Bullish Continuation AheadBitcoin is currently showing signs of strength as it consolidates around the $85,000 level, with technical evidence suggesting a higher probability move to the upside. The chart depicts a recovery from the recent support zone (highlighted in blue) around $76,000-$77,000, with price action forming a series of higher lows since early April. While some short-term volatility may persist, the overall structure appears bullish as BTC continues to hold above the critical $85,000 horizontal level. Traders should watch for a potential pullback before the anticipated upward continuation, as suggested by the brief downward movement in the arrow pattern, which could offer an attractive entry opportunity before the next leg higher.

AUDUSD - Resistance Test Points to Imminent Price CorrectionThe AUD/USD pair has shown impressive upside momentum in recent days, recovering sharply from its early April lows near 0.5900 to now testing the key resistance zone highlighted in blue around 0.6400. After such a substantial rally of approximately 500 pips, technical indicators suggest the pair is becoming overextended in the short term. We anticipate a corrective pullback as price encounters this significant resistance level, which previously acted as support in mid-March. This correction would be a healthy development within the broader market structure, potentially setting up better entry opportunities for those still bullish on the Australian dollar in the medium term.

GBPJPY - Sell Opportunity Following Resistance Test?Based on the 4-hour chart of GBP/JPY, the pair has been consolidating within a range after a significant decline from the 195.00 area. The currency is currently testing resistance around the 189.00 level, marked by the blue highlighted zone. We anticipate a temporary break above this consolidation zone as price completes a correction, which would offer an attractive selling opportunity. Traders should watch for price action confirmation after the break above the zone before entering short positions, as the broader trend appears to remain bearish.

LanzaTech (LNZA). Extremely oversold! Rally incoming?NASDAQ: LanzaTech (LNZA) , based in Illinois, USA, has recently has seen a price low of $0.1401 . This waste management company in recent times, has been featured as a top pick for buys by various news outlets. Although in an extremely bearish slump, I have a bullish prediction.
In the technicals on the 1 Day Chart , the RSI appears to be indicating oversold , with a slight potential of more of a dip to come. The Stochastic seems to also be indicating oversold market conditions. A long time frame bullish RSI divergence also appears to be forming starting at the middle of Feb 2023.
LanzaTech recently declined a "lowball" offer for $0.02 a share, which could signal insider bullish sentiment. LanzaTech FY25 Q1 earnings are forecasted to be significantly higher than FY24 Q4 at this time (RH). Their website, marketing and twitter appear to show no real signs of slowing business operations in my opinion.
Analysis also appears shows that there is very little open interest on put options at this time. Conversely there seems to be a large number of call options from $1-$7 expiring in the near future signaling institutions and high profile traders may be entering the market quietly.
Given the above signals and analysis I personally am setting a speculative stretch price target of $7 with various other orders taking profit along the way at key strike price cluster levels. With LanzaTech at a discounted price, a buy now could yield significant results.
Anything can happen in the markets. What do you think? Will LanzaTech recover? Or will value become completely wiped out?

PIUSDT Daily Technical AnalysisPIUSDT Daily Technical Analysis
Pi Network Coin indicators are POSITIVE.
On April 14th, Pi Network Coin faced a strong sell-off after failing to break above the 21-day moving average (0.75121), dropping down to the support level at 0.59073 before attempting to recover. If this support holds, it may test the 21-day moving average (now at 0.71713) again. If it can rise above this level, it will also break through the 0.69100 resistance at the same time. Overall, we can say that Pi Network Coin has halted its downtrend and increased the probability of a new upward move. Positive news from the Pi Network team could support a price increase. At these price levels, accumulating Pi Network Coin for long-term investment might be a reasonable decision. The final decision is yours. In the medium term, there's also a possibility that Pi Network Coin could retest the $3 level.
For users of the Pi app who have locked coins, if there's no urgent need, they can choose to relock their coins for another 2-week period instead of selling. They can then track the price every two weeks and decide to relock again if appropriate. The long-term potential for the price to reach much higher levels still remains strong.

Gold Analysis April 17Another day of half-full D candle increase but today there is a bearish wave appearing
The h4 frame has shown signs of sellers jumping into the market and H1 also formed bearish waves.
The bearish wave formed with support 3322. Breaking 3322 is very easy to form a strong bearish wave but the necessary condition is that the 3315 zone will have to be broken. If 3315 increases, 3338 is the zone that the Sellers are also waiting for. 3354-3355 ATH zone will still have a reaction from the Sellers before creating a new ATH.
Trading zone when there is confirmation
Price zones to pay attention to BUY 3315, 3293, 3275
Price zones to pay attention to SELL 3337, 3354
