In yesterday's post, I highlighted the high probability of an upward breakout above the 2655–2660 resistance zone. As anticipated, XAU/USD successfully broke through this key level, confirming its importance. Following the breakout, the price reached a high near 2675 before undergoing a normal correction. This pullback was healthy for the trend, as it retested...

Last week's price action was mostly range-bound, characterized by sharp spikes in both directions but lacking a clear trend—challenging conditions for medium-term swing traders. In my last two posts, I shared a moderately bullish bias and even managed a sniper entry at the NFP low. However, Gold failed to sustain upward momentum, so I opted to close the trade...

Yesterday, Bitcoin experienced another drop, falling from above 100K and reaching a low of just over 94K, briefly touching the ascending trendline that dates back to the time of Trump’s election. While the price action since November 5 has been characterized by higher highs and higher lows—usually a sign of bullish momentum—the broader structure appears to signal...

In my previous analysis of Silver, I highlighted the 31.40 resistance zone, suggesting that the price could reverse from that level and potentially drop below 30. Initially, the price did retreat after touching the 31.40 zone, but it lacked follow-through to the downside. As of now, Silver has returned to this key resistance area. Recent price action resembles a...

In my comment yesterday, I mentioned that the price was trading within a tight range, making it better to stay on the sidelines until there is more clarity. Although the price briefly broke below both the 2635 and 2620 support levels, it quickly reversed and moved back above them. This suggests that bulls remain strong above the 2600 level, indicating that a...

This week has been relatively quiet for gold traders, with the price confined to a narrow range between 2635 and 2655. In fact, aside from a few brief spikes, the price remains largely unchanged from Friday's close. Looking ahead, this tight range is likely to break in one direction or the other. As mentioned, the key levels to watch are 2655 and 2635; a breakout...

For most of last week, gold exhibited choppy price action. As outlined in my Thursday analysis: "Gold could recover Monday's losses in a choppy manner, forming a flag pattern with resistance around 2660." This prediction held true in the end and, after a brief spike above the resistance level, gold began its decline. At the time of writing, the price is trading...

In last week's analysis, I mentioned that EUR/USD could reverse to the upside, with the 1.0330 zone likely marking a short-term bottom. As anticipated, the pair has climbed back above the 1.05 support level, indicating a false breakout. I still expect this correction to extend further, with the pair potentially reaching the 1.0670 resistance level. In...

Last week, Bitcoin came tantalizingly close to the significant milestone of $100,000 but fell just shy of breaching it. After this near miss, the cryptocurrency experienced a minor correction. Yesterday, Bitcoin tested the $100,000 level once again, only to retreat once more, indicating a persistent struggle to decisively break through this psychological...

In my previous analysis of silver, I mentioned the potential for prices to drop below the significant $30 level. This scenario unfolded as expected, with prices dipping to $29.66 before reversing and once again hovering around the $30 mark. This area continues to act as a pivotal point for market sentiment. From a technical perspective, the outlook remains...

After Monday's significant drop, the price of gold began a correction yesterday, reaching my first resistance zone at 2640 before resuming its decline. However, gold found support around 2620 and started recovering again. The price action now appears to be forming a bearish continuation flag, suggesting that the next major move could be another downturn. In the...

In my previous post about USD/JPY, I highlighted the potential for JPY strengthening due to repatriation, referencing similar trends observed last year and usually in December After reaching a high near 157, USD/JPY began to decline and is now testing the critical 150 level. At this point, a technical rebound is possible, but I view it as a selling opportunity....

The drop in EUR/USD has been remarkable, with the pair even breaking below the critical 1.0500 technical and psychological level. On Friday, it even spiked to a low of 1.0330. However, following this sharp decline, the pair opened on Monday with a gap up, which has since been filled, potentially signaling the beginning of a correction. Confirmation of a new...

Not long ago, I used to discuss potential targets of 1,000 pips for OANDA:XAUUSD in my analyses, explaining why trading XAUUSD requires factoring in potential moves of 300–400 pips as part of a well-thought-out strategy, not 30-50 pips. Fast forward to today, and the landscape has shifted dramatically. A 500-pip movement in a single day has become standard,...
