Gold price update: Strong drop!Hello everyone, do you think OANDA:XAUUSD should be bought or sold? At the start of the new trading session, spot gold is trading at $2,877 per ounce, marking a sharp decline of $40 from the previous session's $2,917 per ounce. The drop in gold prices was driven by conflicting statements from U.S. President Donald Trump regarding tariffs. He announced that tariffs would be applied to many goods, but not all, creating uncertainty in the market. Additionally, Trump confirmed that a 25% tariff on imports from Mexico and Canada would take effect on March 4. Moreover, imports from China will face an additional 10% tariff, while cars and certain other products from Europe will be subjected to a 25% tariff, although no further details were provided. These announcements triggered market volatility, prompting investors to sell off gold to secure profits. Today’s gold price movement is largely bearish, as reflected by the unchanged EMA 34 and 89 trend lines. Pay close attention to the $2,850 support level, where the price may consolidate before continuing its downward trend, as indicated on the 4-hour chart.

XAU#20:Gold plunges sharply,but will the“Bull Market"end easily? 💎 💎 In the previous article, the clear divergence in the H1 frame was confirmed by a correction of Gold. Now we will come up with the next plan: 💎 💎 💎 1️⃣ **Fundamental analysis:** 📊The main reasons for the decline of gold: profit taking by investors, a stronger USD and unsurprising US inflation data, which has curbed expectations of the Fed cutting interest rates. 🔹The Russia-Ukraine war is nearing its end as the final agreements are being negotiated. 🚀If there is a situation of high inflation but a weak economy (stagflation), gold prices may continue to rise sharply. 📌Some experts believe that gold prices are about 15% higher than fair value, but new factors such as central bank gold purchases and strong demand from China can still push prices to continue to rise. 2️⃣ **Technical analysis:** 🔹 **D frame**: 4 consecutive days of decline of about 120 USD, but looking at the overall price structure of gold, it is still stable. This correction with the goal of retesting the support zone below 🔹 **H4 frame**: The price structure has been broken. However, to get down to the support zone below, if there is no unexpected news, we still need a recovery to gain momentum. The pinbar at the end of the 6th session and the subsequent increase are supporting this option. 🔹 **H1 frame**: The price structure is very clear. The recovery at the end of the 6th session is the profit-taking action of the sell position forming a weekly candlestick wick. 3️⃣ **Trading plan:* ⛔ Currently the price structure is still decreasing. We should not trade against the trend at this time. Especially at this time, information about reaching an agreement on the Russia-Ukraine war can appear at any time ✅ Waiting for the price to reach important resistance zones to trade in line with the trend is the top priority. This is also the profit-taking area for the case where we establish a position when the price line confirms a recovery with the price structure. 💪 **Wishing you success in achieving profits!**

USD/JPY Consolidating Near Resistance – Reversal or Breakout?Currently, USD/JPY is moving within a horizontal consolidation zone, fluctuating around 150.39. The pair has seen a moderate recovery but remains within the descending trendline resistance. Key Resistance at 152.13 – This is a crucial level to watch. If the price fails to break above this zone, sellers may step in aggressively, reinforcing the downtrend. Additionally, the Exponential Moving Averages (EMA 34, 89) continue to indicate a bearish trend, suggesting that this short-term upward move might soon lose momentum.

USD/JPY Extends Its Downtrend – Sellers in ControlUSD/JPY continues to extend its downtrend, trading around 149.455, and remains restricted within a parallel price channel. The U.S. dollar remains weak in the market, making it difficult for USD/JPY to find any recovery momentum. From a technical perspective, the pair has yet to show signs of a strong reversal, as the EMA 34 continues to trend downward with no sign of ending. Bearish market sentiment persists, keeping selling pressure high and extending USD/JPY’s losing streak. From a personal standpoint, as long as sellers defend the price channel, selling strategies remain a priority. What about you?

EUR/USD Struggles Below 1.0500 Amid USD StrengthEUR/USD remains under pressure, trading below 1.0500 during Thursday’s session. The pair is weighed down by the U.S. dollar's ongoing recovery, fueled by conflicting statements from President Donald Trump regarding tariffs. This has kept EUR/USD capped below the 1.052 resistance, marked by two previous peaks. 📉 Technical Outlook: Short-term bullish support remains at 1.046, but upside momentum is uncertain. The pair is fluctuating around EMA 34 and 89, showing signs of confluence. A break below 1.046 could signal further selling pressure, with lower targets in focus. 💡 Will EUR/USD break through this support level, or will buyers defend the trend? Share your thoughts!

EUR/USD Continues Its DowntrendHello traders! Let’s analyze EUR/USD and see where it might be headed next. Currently, EUR/USD is extending its bearish momentum, trading near 1.0400 within a well-defined downtrend channel. The pair remains under pressure as the U.S. dollar gains strength, driven by hawkish signals from the Federal Reserve, reinforcing expectations that interest rates will remain high. Additionally, weak European economic data and market uncertainty have further weighed on the euro. Technical Outlook: The pair broke below key support and is now consolidating within a demand zone. A potential pullback to 1.0429 (Fibonacci retracement & trendline resistance) could offer a selling opportunity if price fails to break higher. If the bearish structure holds, EUR/USD could drop further towards 1.0360 and beyond.

XAUUSD : Gold Prices Plummet Amid Market Uncertainty. Gold witnessed a significant decline today, plunging 400 pips to $2,877 per ounce, compared to $2,917 per ounce at the same time the previous day. This sharp drop within a short period reflects unexpected market movements in the global gold landscape. The primary catalyst behind this steep decline stems from conflicting statements by U.S. President Donald Trump regarding tariff policies. He announced plans to impose tariffs on a wide range of goods, including an additional 10% tariff on Chinese imports, a 25% tariff on automobiles and certain European goods, and a 25% tariff on imports from Mexico and Canada, set to take effect on March 4. These controversial remarks have fueled uncertainty, sparking concerns over the global economic outlook amid escalating trade tensions. As a result, investors rushed to offload gold holdings, seeking to secure profits and protect their capital from potential risks. This mass selling pressure led to a dramatic drop in gold prices within a short time frame. Given the current landscape, gold is expected to remain highly volatile, particularly as U.S. tariff decisions continue to shape market sentiment and investor behavior in the coming days. Stay cautious and watch key levels closely!

XAUUSD : Bearish Momentum & Triple Top Formation Gold continues to decline within a well-defined descending channel, trading around $2,912 at the time of analysis. The market has formed a triple top pattern, indicating potential further downside if the price fails to break above resistance. 📉 Technical Outlook: The $2,922 - $2,924 zone serves as a key resistance level. The triple top at the upper boundary suggests a strong selling opportunity. A breakdown from the current structure could drive the price toward the $2,893 target zone. 💡 Trading Strategy: Sell near $2,922 - $2,924 Target 1: $2,900 Target 2: $2,893 Gold remains in a downtrend, and sellers are likely to dominate as long as the descending channel holds. Will the bearish structure continue? Let’s watch the price action closely!

Gold price update: Keep strengthening!Hello, dear friends! Gold has just experienced significant volatility, witnessing a sharp decline before making a notable recovery. In the recent trading session, gold dropped to a low of approximately $2,915, losing nearly $39 in a single day, before rebounding and currently hovering around $2,917. This price action indicates that buyers still maintain a certain level of strength, despite considerable selling pressure. Looking ahead, if gold successfully stabilizes above the lower boundary of the intact uptrend, we may see another attempt to break above the $2,950, potentially reaching new highs. However, failure to hold above key levels could trigger renewed selling pressure.

EUR/USD: Continuing to Seek New HighsHey traders, what are you expecting from EUR/USD? Will it rise or fall? From my perspective and analysis, it wouldn’t be surprising if EUR/USD continues to rise. The pair is moving around 1.050 and is strongly supported by the parallel price channel maintained by buyers. EUR/USD’s target is further reinforced as it remains above the EMA 34 and 89 levels. As long as the price channel is protected, the strategy remains to buy when the price increases. The condition for this strategy is that the lower boundary of the channel must hold, and the 1.052 resistance must turn into support. What about you? Do you agree with my view?

XAUUSD : Fake Breakout or Trend Reversal ?Gold experienced a sharp decline, briefly breaking below key support levels and hitting a low of $2,896 before rebounding. The sudden drop caused high volatility, but buyers quickly stepped in, pushing the price back toward the previous consolidation zone. It is now trading around $2,925. Currently, gold is attempting to re-enter the price range of $2,920 - $2,950. If the price fully recovers and trades within this range, it could confirm a fake breakout, signaling that the bullish trend remains intact. Looking ahead, if gold successfully stabilizes above the lower boundary of this range, we might see another attempt to break above $2,950, potentially aiming for new highs. However, failure to hold above key levels could trigger renewed selling pressure. 📌 Key Levels to Watch: Support: $2,895 - $2,924 Resistance: $2,940 - $2,950

EUR/USD Had to Reverse After Facing 1.0500 ResistanceFX:EURUSD had to turn back when facing the 1.0500 resistance level. The euro’s weakness was mainly due to the strong recovery of the U.S. dollar, despite weak U.S. PMI data. However, this weakness was mitigated as support zones remain strong and active. As seen on the chart, FX:EURUSD formed a new high, surpassing the previous peak. If this is not a false breakout, the pair has all the necessary factors to push higher in the near future (including an upward trendline, EMA 34 and 89 reversal, and a series of higher highs and higher lows). However, in the short term, it needs to retest and accumulate more momentum, with support at 1.0460 and 1.0410 providing a crucial foundation. Looking ahead, we should pay attention to key economic events that may impact FX:EURUSD including economic reports from the Eurozone and the U.S., as well as speeches from ECB and Fed officials. These insights could provide further clues on monetary policy and economic outlook, influencing the pair’s trajectory. What about you? Do you think EUR/USD can sustain this uptrend?

XAUUSD : Is the Rally Set to Continue ?Hello everyone! It’s great to be back for another discussion on gold prices today. Currently, gold continues to hold its bullish momentum, trading around $2,950, with a slight pullback that is not a major concern. This uptrend is driven by strong safe-haven demand, as investors remain wary of a global trade war, following President Donald Trump’s new tariff threats. Additionally, central banks continue to purchase gold, further pushing prices higher. According to Goldman Sachs, gold could reach $3,200 by the end of this year. The primary reason behind this forecast is strong demand from central banks and investors seeking safe-haven assets, amid global economic uncertainty and new U.S. tax policies. 📉 Short-Term Outlook: On the charts, gold remains capped below the $2,955 resistance level. The metal must break through this level to establish any meaningful upside momentum. Key support levels to watch include the EMA 34 and 89 signals, along with the $2,935 support zone. 💬 What do you think? Can gold continue its rally, or will we see a short-term correction?

Gold price updateDear friends! Today, gold continues its upward trend, with spot gold rising by 18 USD to reach 2,954.3 USD/ounce. This upward momentum is supported by safe-haven demand amid growing concerns about President Trump's proposed tax plans. Meanwhile, the US Dollar shows minimal gains, while US Treasury yields decline following the release of new economic data that raises concerns about US growth prospects. As shown on the 1-hour chart, gold's upward movement remains capped by the resistance level of $2,955. In the medium term, gold needs to break above this level to establish any meaningful momentum. Key short-term levels to watch include the support level at $2,935 and signals from the 34.89 EMA. The precious metal is expected to reach the $3,000 mark by late February or early March.
