EURUSD rebounds within a month-old bullish channelEURUSD picks up bids to 1.0930 as traders consolidate weekly loss amid a sluggish Asian session on early Wednesday. In doing so, the Euro pair recovers within a one-month-old bullish trend channel amid upbeat RSI and MACD conditions. It’s worth noting that Tuesday’s Doji candlestick adds strength to the quote’s corrective bounce. With this, the buyers are likely to retake control and can aim for the 1.1000 threshold as an immediate upside target. However, the aforementioned channel’s top line surrounding 1.1010 and the November 2023 peak of 1.1017 will test the pair’s further upside. In a case where the bulls keep the reins past 1.1017, the previous yearly high marked in December around 1.1140 will be in the spotlight.
On the contrary, EURUSD sellers will have a hard time taking control as the stated channel’s bottom line joins the 21-bar Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to highlight the 1.0870 as a tough nut to crack for them. Even if the Euro bears manage to smash the 1.0870 key support, an ascending support line from October 2023, near 1.0750, will test the bears. Furthermore, lows marked in December 2023 and last month, respectively near 1.0720 and 1.0690, also act as downside filters before giving control to the sellers.
To sum up, EURUSD buyers are likely to keep the reins even if the upside room appears limited.

Gold price today: Waiting anxiously!The Tuesday trading session holds significant importance for investors as the US Bureau of Labor Statistics prepares to release the Consumer Price Index (CPI) report for February. This report is expected to provide fresh insights into recent inflation trends and guide the Federal Reserve's short-term monetary policy.
According to forecasts, the overall CPI may increase by 0.4% compared to the previous month, reflecting the impact of rising energy costs. This result is predicted to maintain an annual interest rate stability of 3.1%. Meanwhile, the core index is anticipated to rise by 0.3% monthly, causing a slight decrease in the year-on-year rate from 3.9% to 3.7%.
Gold prices fluctuated between 2175-2185 during yesterday's trading session, awaiting information from the CPI report set to be released at 7:30 PM tonight. It is expected that after the news, prices will break the current pattern and form a clear trend, enabling investors to devise short-term trading strategies:
Sell around 2185-2188, with a stop loss at 2191, targeting 2172-2175. Buy around 2173-2175, with a stop loss at 2169, targeting 2186.
Note: It is advised to close positions before the news is announced.
Gold price today: Become more cautious!The price of gold today did not decrease as previously predicted, instead it continued to move sideways and traded around the $2180 mark in the early hours of Tuesday. The market remained quiet on Monday due to a lack of significant news, resulting in no significant changes in the price of gold.
Gold still shows a long-term upward trend, but at the moment, it is significantly influenced by news, especially information about the possibility of the Fed cutting interest rates in the middle of this year.
During the week, the market will closely follow reports on retail sales, weekly jobless claims, and manufacturing data from the US. The future path of gold is still uncertain, so stay cautious and closely monitor the information. RKarina will continue to provide updates to support you!
GBPUSD hovers above 1.2770 resistance-turned-support on key dayGBPUSD regains 1.2800 after snapping a six-day losing streak, making rounds to 1.2820 heading into Tuesday’s European session. In doing so, the Cable pair portrays the market’s cautious mood ahead of the all-important UK employment data and the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) figures. That said, the overbought RSI (14) line joins the pre-data anxiety to test the Pound Sterling buyers. However, a seven-month-old resistance line, now support around 1.2770, challenges the immediate downside of the quote. Even if the pair drops beneath the resistance-turned-support of 1.2770, the 50-SMA level of 1.2690 and convergence of the 100-SMA and 200-SMA, close to 1.2585, will act as the final defense of the buyers before giving control to the bears.
Meanwhile, the GBPUSD pair’s sustained run-up needs strong UK data, as well as softer US inflation to entertain the keep the Pound Sterling buyers on board. Even so, the yearly high marked on last Friday, around 1.2895, will be a tough nut to crack for the Cable buyers. In a case where the pair remains firmer past 1.2895, backed by the positive fundamentals, the quote could aim for the tops marked in July 2023 near 1.2995 and 1.3140 in that order.
To sum up, the GBPUSD pair buyers keep the reins on the day of releases of the key employment and inflation data from the UK and the US.
EURUSD: Waiting anxiously!Hello dear friends!
Today, EUR/USD is trading in a tight range below 1.0950 in the morning of Monday in Europe, extending its sideways movement in the context of a stable US dollar and mild risk sentiment. Traders are cautious about placing new bets on the major currency ahead of the US CPI data release on Tuesday. This will be a significant news that will directly impact the new trend of short-term scalpers, whether it is an upward or downward movement!
On a personal note, RKarina expects this currency pair to experience a slight downward correction as the trend begins to move sideways and the upward momentum is limited. The support level at 1.087 is highly regarded in case it helps EURUSD regain momentum.
What changes in the new gold price?Hello dear friends, let's find out about the gold price today and evaluate the strategy for this week!
Last week, we witnessed a strong surge in Gold and it surpassed its all-time high with a figure close to $2200. We expected it to correct its trend last week, but it seems that the buying side continues to push it higher, and it is currently trading around $2180 on the first day of the week.
The trend of this metal is still unclear, although the upward momentum is dominant, it is still heavily influenced by market news. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor and closely follow important information during the week.
Regarding prospects: The global gold price this week is likely to see investors taking profits after a continuous week of price increase, causing the gold price to turn downwards. However, this decrease is not significant as political tensions continue to escalate and the US dollar remains subdue
USDJPY probes four-day losing streak despite upbeat Japan GDPUSDJPY seesaws at the lowest level in five weeks as bulls and bears jostle after the biggest weekly loss in eight months. In doing so, the Yen pair fails to justify better-than-previous Japanese GDP while challenging the four-day losing streak. That said, the oversold RSI (14) conditions and the 200-SMA support of near 146.30-25 also challenge the quote’s further downside. Following that, the mid-2023 peak of around 145.00 could act as an intermediate halt before directing the bears toward the late 2023 bottom of 140.25.
Meanwhile, the USDJPY pair’s rebound needs validation from the 100-SMA level of 147.60, as well as the support-turned-resistance line stretched from early January, close to 148.80 at the latest. However, the 150.00 threshold and multiple tops surrounding 151.00 could check the Yen pair buyers afterward. Also acting as the upside filter is the previous yearly high of 151.90 and a one-year-old previous support line, now resistance around 152.80.
Overall, the USDJPY pair’s sustained trading beneath the key technical supports, now resistances, join the bearish MACD signals to keep sellers hopeful. However, the oversold RSI and nearness to the 200-SMA might challenge the quote’s short-term downside.
EURUSD: Keep moving forward!Hello everyone, it's RKarina here again! Let's discuss and devise a strategy for the new day!
The EUR/USD has gained momentum, pushing prices higher and creating an opportunity for a potential test of the psychological barrier at 1.1000. Increased selling pressure on the Greenback following the Non-Farm Payrolls report for February has provided this currency pair with additional upward potential.
Currently, the EUR/USD is facing resistance at 1.098, but technical indicators and prospects still lean towards an upward movement. The level of 1.0960 (the Fibonacci retracement level of 61.8% of the latest downward trend) is considered the first resistance level for EUR/USD before reaching 1.1000 (psychological level) and 1.1035.
Gold price today: Expect a gentle adjustment!Let's take a look at the exciting gold news of the week!
Since February 28th, the gold market has truly heated up, with prices soaring to new heights and gently landing around $2,160 per ounce in Friday's Asian session. The expectations of a Fed rate cut in June have breathed new life into the sails of gold prices. And it was none other than the suggestive remarks from Fed Chairman Jerome Powell before Congress that added fuel to the fire, making predictions of an interest rate reduction even more certain.
Looking back on a dazzling week for gold, it is not difficult to see that after the frenzy comes the cool breeze of adjustment. Personally, I predict that while gold has reached its peak of glory, it will not be able to avoid a certain "cooling down." Let's wait and see what gold will do next in this vast financial landscape.
Gold price today: Waiting for new jumps!The price of gold continues to rise to its all-time high around $2156 as Chairman Jerome Powell's comments reinforce expectations of monetary policy easing this year. Betting on interest rate cuts is driving up the price of gold, and everyone anticipates that the easing will happen soon, further supporting gold.
The non-farm payroll report for February, set to be released on Friday, is expected to provide clearer information on the timing of the US interest rate cut. According to a Reuters poll, economists forecast that the US created 200,000 jobs in the month. If the employment figures are weaker than expected, it could push the price of gold even higher, nearing $2,200 per ounce.
EURUSD: Retesting the breakout zoneRKarina is delighted to meet you all again, to discuss and strategize for today!
As expected, EUR/USD is testing its highest level in two months around 1.0950 during the Asian trading session on Friday. This currency pair gained ground on Thursday, supported by prospects of ECB movements and a weakening US Dollar following a dovish tone from Fed Chair Jerome Powell. The upcoming US NFP will be the focal point today, determining the moves for this currency pair.
In the short term: Today, we prioritize selling as this currency pair undergoes a corrective trend after a significant rally. The pullback level is expected to be around 0.5 - 0.618 Fibonacci retracement (coinciding with the previous peak level for testing purposes).
USDJPY: Downward pressure remainsHello dear friends, as expected, our USDJPY pair has declined to the support level at 147.84 and is showing signs of consolidation. In this case, a cup pattern is also forming, and a corrective rally may occur, although it is unlikely to last long as the market is still anticipating an interest rate cut in the near future, which would weaken the USD and limit the recovery of USDJPY.
The expected price decline will continue if it reaches the 0.5 - 0.618 Fibonacci level (around 148.700). The target for sellers this time is 146.34. Wishing you happy and successful trading.
GBPUSD : Moving towards critical creature abilities !The GBP/USD pair remains steady above the psychological barrier of 1.2800 in the early Asian trading hours on Friday. Selling pressure by the US Dollar provides some support for the major currency pair. The highlight on Friday will be the US labor market data for February.
This currency pair has continued to gain points, although it has not yet surpassed the 1.2800 level. As mentioned before, buyers may not be able to sustain the value, and GBP/USD could face a decline. The next support level will be at 1.2700, followed by the 34-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 1.2673. On the other hand, if buyers exten
Gold eases from record top, focus on $2,150, US NFPGold price snaps seven-day winning streak while retreating from the all-time high (ATH) of nearly $2,165 to $2,156 early Friday. In doing so, the precious metal portrays the consolidation of recent gains ahead of the all-important US employment details for February amid the overbought RSI (14) conditions. It’s worth noting, however, that the bullion still trades above the immediate resistance-turned-support, namely the previous record high marked in 2023 around $2,150. Hence, the XAUUSD sellers need validation from the US jobs report as well as the $2,150 to retake control. Following that, a quick fall toward the late December 2023 peak of around $2,090 and the $2,065-64 support zone can’t be ruled out. Even so, the commodity bears need to remain cautious unless the quote offers a daily closing beneath three-week-old rising support and the 100-SMA, respectively near $2,050 and $2,022.
On the flip side, the Gold buyers stay in the driver’s seat and can aim for a 10-month-old ascending resistance line, close to $2,185 by the press time, during further upside. Should the quote manage to ignore the RSI conditions and remain firmer past $2,185, the $2,200 round figure will act as an extra filter toward the north. It’s worth noting that the XAUUSD’s successful trading above $2,200 enables buyers to aim for the 78.6% Fibonacci Extension (FE) of its moves between 2018 and 2022, around $2,336.
Overall, Gold price remains on the bullish trend but a pullback appears imminent unless the scheduled data fail to inspire US Dollar’s rebound.
Gold price today: Record high!Hello everyone, it's great to see you all again for today's discussion on the price of gold!
Currently, gold is trading around $2,145.560 per ounce, an increase of $17,995 per ounce compared to yesterday's price. This upward trend in gold continues today, driven by the expectation of monetary easing in the United States. Gold has strong potential for short-term growth as the Fed will not let the US economy weaken. The Fed is likely to soon cut interest rates, which will support gold.
However, gold also faces several risks as the precious metal is rapidly rising and reaching record highs. Profit-taking pressure may increase as a result. According to technical indicators, gold is currently overbought. This could mean a potential reversal to a downward trend if profit-taking activities intensify.
EUR/USD: rises to 5-week highRKarina greets everyone!
Today, the EUR/USD is testing its highest bidding price since the end of January, quickly surpassing the 1.0900 level to touch 1.0915 before stabilizing slightly but still maintaining an upward trend since Wednesday. This currency pair is currently in a corrective wave, however, a successful close above the resistance level at 1.089 and receiving support from the 1.085 area has opened up more opportunities for price increases for this currency pair, with an immediate target of 1.093 after completing the trend correction.
BTCUSDT Trading Strategy for BTCUSDT:
BTCUSDT continues to show notable stability, maintaining a high price above $66,000 this Thursday.
In the short term, BTCUSDT is trending sideways, with significant resistance levels identified at $67,500 and $68,700.
Clear support levels are marked, and the 34 and 89 EMA lines are displaying a strong upward trajectory in the near future. As long as the crucial support level of $60,000 remains intact, the bullish camp is prepared to maintain its advantage during this phase.
Gold price today: Will the upward momentum continue?The price of gold (XAU/USD) has taken advantage of its recent upward momentum and reached a new record high around $2,152 on Wednesday. This price increase comes amidst expectations of an upcoming change in the Federal Reserve's policy. Comments from Fed Chair Jerome Powell have reinforced these expectations, indicating that the central bank is likely to lower the benchmark interest rate by the end of this year. However, Fed Minneapolis President Neel Kashkari has tempered speculation of a more aggressive policy easing, providing some support for the US Dollar (USD) and preventing it from dropping to its lowest level since February. As a result, this has limited further gains for gold, especially when considering the excessive price increase on the daily chart.
At the same time, any significant adjustments in the price of gold seem unlikely due to the current geopolitical tensions. Furthermore, concerns about China's economic slowdown, as the world's second-largest economy, may continue to support this precious metal. Additionally, investors may exercise caution ahead of Powell's second testimony before the Senate Banking Committee and the release of monthly employment data in the United States.
GBPUSDThe GBP/USD exchange rate has increased by 0.31% during the North American trading session and is trading at 1.2746, after rebounding from the daily low of 1.2690. The spring budget announcement in the United Kingdom and the testimony of Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell have supported the rise in this currency pair, which is now poised to test the 1.2800 level.
USDPJY: Still under heavy downward pressure!Hello dear friends, what do you think about USDJPY?
In contrast to its counterparts such as EURUSD and GBPUSD, USDJPY continues to bear the heavy pressure of depreciation, with prices weakening further on Thursday. Currently, this currency pair is trading at the level of 148.50, experiencing a loss of 0.56% for the day.
This currency pair continues to face difficulties as the US Dollar weakens amid market expectations of a rate cut by the Federal Reserve in their June policy meeting, which is escalating.
Looking at the prospects from a technical analysis perspective: This currency pair is on its way to find support at the level of 148.10, and prices may recover from this point. However, the recovery may not last long as the EMA 34 signal has started to reverse and USDJPY has broken through the strong support level at 149.700.
