Gold price increased dramatically at the end of the week!Hello dear friends, let's review the gold prices of the past week and discuss new strategies for the upcoming week with Kevin!
During the beginning of the week, gold prices remained relatively stable, mainly moving sideways around the $2030 mark with a resistance level at $2035. However, in the last two days of the week, gold gained strong buying momentum and broke through some significant resistance levels, continuously rising from $2025 to $2088 and currently pausing at $2082.
The international financial market has received economic updates from major economies such as the United States, Europe, and China. As a result, investors have been actively buying precious metals to protect their capital, pushing gold prices to the highest level in months.
Looking ahead to the next week's strategy:
Based on chart analysis, gold has surpassed the $2065 resistance level and is approaching $2090, but it is encountering some limitations as indicated on the chart. It is expected to experience a slight retreat as the new trading week begins, with a projected range of 0.5 - 0.618 Fibonacci retracement (which means testing the new support area around $2065 and testing the 34 and 89 EMA lines as the price has gone too far).
Wishing you all successful and enjoyable trading!

EURUSD: Critical support level 1,080 remains strong!Hello everyone, let's discuss the new weekly strategy for EURUSD with RKarina!
Yesterday, EURUSD continued to maintain a fairly stable trading level around the psychological threshold of 1.080. The currency pair received support once again from the 1.080 level, as it bounced back after touching this threshold. It seems that the buyers are still making efforts to protect this support level and demonstrating their notable strength.
Currently, EURUSD has temporarily paused trading at 1.083 and is approaching a nearby resistance level. There is a high possibility of an increase in price as long as the 1.080 support level remains intact.
EURUSD: Pay attention to defending 1.0800Hello dear friends, it's RKarina here again! What do you think about the next trend for this currency pair?
EUR/USD remains stable, hovering around the 1.0850 level, especially after Tuesday's trading session, which saw minimal momentum for this currency pair due to a larger-than-expected drop in durable goods orders in the US for January. Now, all attention is focused on the upcoming release of US Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data on Wednesday.
From the chart: EURUSD is currently in a corrective phase, facing downward pressure from sellers as it approaches the resistance level at 1.0888. The current support level is set at 1.079, with a notable possibility of price recovery in this area. Within the range of 0.5 - 0.618, buyers are closely monitoring this zone for opportunities to maneuver and compete in this currency pair.
Gold price on the weekend of trading weekend!Hello everyone, let's strategize for the new day with RKarina! It can be observed that yesterday afternoon, the price of gold increased significantly, surpassing the important resistance level at 2035 USD and approaching the level of 2050 USD before stabilizing around the 2045 USD range in the first half of today.
In line with this, the core PCE of the United States decreased from 2.9% to 2.8% compared to the same period last year. The annual overall inflation rate also decreased sharply from 2.6% to 2.4%, in line with expectations. This data confirms that the process of inflation reduction continues, causing a decrease in US Treasury bond yields. As a result, financial investors are shifting their capital from bonds to precious metals. The price of gold in the world today has the momentum to continue rising.
XAUUSD: little volatility, quiet tradingHello dear friends! What is your prediction for the movement of gold today?
Last night, gold briefly touched the $2025 mark before quickly recovering to stabilize around the $2035 range, facing challenges around this resistance level. Due to the narrowing Bollinger Bands, it is predicted that gold will have minimal volatility today, possibly fluctuating between $2038 and $2025.
GBPUSD: The risk of a price drop lurksThe GBP/USD exchange rate is hovering around 1.2680 on Wednesday as markets seek new impetus from the Federal Reserve (Fed) as investors gradually shy away from high-interest rate cut bets. Data on US Gross Domestic Product (GDP) inflation and Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index will be released this week.
Data from the United Kingdom remains sparse this week, with the market focusing on important figures to update expectations of interest rate cuts by the Fed.
As a result, GBPUSD is struggling to rise, with both short-term and medium-term corrections indicating a downward trend. The currency pair has already broken below the support level of 1.267. In the event that the next support level at 1.265 is breached, the possibility of a decline below 1.262 is entirely plausible as there will be no significant support points to prop up GBPUSD.
USDJPY: SELL OR BUY?Hello dear friends! Today, USDJPY continues to be limited below the resistance level of 150.750 in the early trading hours of the new week.
This currency pair is declining due to the decrease in US Treasury bond yields, amid cautiousness and concerns about inflation data in the United States. However, the recent appreciation of the US dollar may limit the downside of USD/JPY as long as the support level of 149.700 is well maintained, thus the possibility of a recovery for USDJPY is still considered high.
USDJPY: down sharplyDear friends,
USDJPY experienced a sharp decline today. The price has been consistently plummeting since reaching 150.844 and is currently hovering around 149.789 after half a day.
On the analysis chart: This currency pair has surpassed most of its important support levels, and there is still a favorable outlook for further price drops as the trendline has been broken. The defensive point and target for sellers are currently at 148.97.
GBPUSD : Slight discount !The GBP/USD pair broke free from the recent low around 1.2620 and rebounded to 1.2660 at the start of Thursday's Asian trading session. The demand for the US Dollar (USD) weighed heavily on the GBPUSD pair ahead of a significant event in the United States.
Investors are currently awaiting the release of the US Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index for January at the end of the day, hoping for fresh momentum.
EURUSD - Stable trading above the psychological level of 1,080Hello everyone, let's discuss EURUSD today with RKarina!
Currently, the EURUSD currency pair is trading quite calmly and there haven't been many price changes, with trading levels around 1.083 USD from the beginning of the week until now.
Looking at the prospects from today's short-term analysis chart: This currency pair has experienced a pullback above the 0.5 - 0.618 Fibonacci level, indicating that the selling side seems to have an advantage during this period. However, it is still operating weakly as the price continues to hover and align with the two EMA lines, namely the 34 and 89.
If everything goes well and meets expectations, after a slight sideways movement, this currency pair will aim for the next target at the resistance level of 1.086. Let's wait and see the results!
Xauusd todayHey everyone, let's delve into the current gold prices!
During the previous trading session, the price of gold remained steady, ranging from $2022 to $2025. Investors are eagerly awaiting fresh economic data from the United States in order to assess the future direction of interest rates as determined by the Federal Reserve (Fed).
At the moment, gold finds itself in a temporary stalemate, torn between expectations regarding interest rates and the demand for a safe haven amidst geopolitical tensions. The latest minutes from the Fed's policy meeting have revealed a general concern among policymakers regarding the risks associated with premature interest rate cuts, which has exerted significant pressure on gold.
In my opinion, there is a possibility that gold prices could rise to a range of $2040 - $2042 before experiencing a correction if it reaches the limit of its downward trend.
Gold price today: Trading is quietHello everyone, gold traded relatively calmly today at a high level after breaking out of the previous downtrend.
Today, the price of gold was supported by the decline in US Treasury bond yields. As a result, the US dollar (USD) weakened as the US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks this currency against six other currencies, fell by 0.05%.
From the analysis chart: Gold is trading sideways as XAU/USD has been unable to surpass the psychological resistance level of $2,035 for the past 12 days. However, the upward trend is still intact, and if buyers reclaim the $2,035 level, it could open up an opportunity to challenge the psychological level of $2,050.
GBP/USD: maintain good growth rateThe GBP/USD pair continues its upward momentum below the psychological barrier of 1.2700 in the early Asian trading session on Tuesday. The FOMC minutes indicated that the Fed has reaffirmed its data-dependent approach, leading to a more dovish outlook. This has weighed on the US Dollar (USD) and created a favorable environment for this currency pair.
At the time of writing, GBP/USD is trading at 1.2685, up 0.02% for the day. My expectation is that the price will continue to rise after finding support at the 34 and 89 EMA levels.
EURUSD: Uptrend continues above 1.0800Hello Traders! Today EURUSD continues to trade in an upward trend.
As long as EUR/USD trades above the 34.89 EMA Simple Moving Average, the outlook for the pair is likely to remain constructive.
Looking at the 4-hour chart, a slow return appears to have taken place so far. The next upside barrier is 1.0888, ahead of 1.0897 and 1.0932.
Gold price today February 27: Great leap forward?Dear beloved friends, yesterday's gold trading session was relatively calm with no significant fluctuations. At present, the price is still hovering around $2033 and maintaining support at $2025.
In the short and medium term, the upward momentum of gold is still highly regarded. From today's chart, the two main targets for buyers are $2037 and $2041.
Regarding predictions, the market is awaiting the release of the US Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) report. This crucial inflation data is expected to provide investors with further clues about the future direction of interest rates by the Federal Reserve. The report is scheduled to be released on Thursday, with a projected monthly increase of 0.4%. If the PCE data exceeds expectations, gold prices may decline. However, this precious metal is still expected to remain above $2000 per ounce.
XAUUSDHello dear colleagues, what do you think the closing price of gold will be today?
Last night, the price of gold decreased despite the sharp decline in the US dollar. Normally, a weaker US dollar would support an increase in the price of gold. However, in the last session, it defied market norms with a decline in the USD due to forecasts showing durable goods orders in the US dropping from 0% in the previous month to -4.7% in January, and core durable goods orders falling from 0.6% to 0.2%.
Despite gloomy economic forecasts, the stock market remains surprisingly optimistic. Globally, US and Japanese stocks have been continuously setting new records at the beginning of this year. With a 7% increase since the end of 2023, money is shifting from traditional safe havens like gold to stocks, potentially setting the stage for a recovery in the price of gold.
GBPUSD: stable daily recovery streakHello dear traders, today GBPSUSD continues its winning streak during the recovery process, with trading levels around 1.266 and remaining within an upward price channel with stability.
It is expected that the price will continue to recover after the correction phase and reach the lower limit of the ascending channel, while also testing the EMA 34 and 89.
XAUUSD: price increase but not sure yet!Hello traders, what do you think about GOLD?
The fear of risk has driven the demand for US government bonds, contributing to the prolonged weakness of US Treasury bond yields across the yield curve. The slight decrease in US Treasury bond yields helps limit the adjustment of Gold prices.
In the coming days, the momentum of the US Dollar and US Treasury bond yields, along with the risk sentiment, will impact Gold price action as traders consider the US New Home Sales data for trading cues.
Gold is supported and has been growing as it touches the bottom of a descending channel. It is expected to decrease back to the channel bottom after reaching the resistance zone.
XAUUSD: Breakout on last day of tradingDear friends, what are your thoughts on gold after a challenging week? Let's also strategize for the upcoming week.
Looking back at the recent period, the price of gold has mainly been fluctuating around the range of $2022 to $2028, despite some news affecting gold, but not significantly.
Until last Friday afternoon, gold experienced a significant volatility, with prices dropping straight to $2016 and then rebounding strongly to reach $2041. In the context of some officials from the Federal Reserve stating that they are not in a hurry to lower interest rates due to high inflation, financial investors are expecting a rate cut by the Fed in June 2024. As a result, the US dollar weakened against many other currencies, boosting today's gold prices.
Currently, the precious metal has stabilized at around $2035, making this weakness a corrective wave after breaking through $2033. It is expected that next week, gold will continue to decline further towards the range of $2031 and $2028, as indicated by Fibonacci before the price resumes its upward trend.
EURUSD: SELL?The EUR/USD pair is trading with a softer tone as the US dollar (USD) modestly rebounds in early Asian trading on Monday. The market will be paying attention to the US PCE inflation data for January this week, which could cause some volatility. At the time of writing, EUR/USD is trading at 1.0818, down 0.01% on the day.
With the possibility of forming a head and shoulders pattern and a bearish price, I expect that after the price receives support and increases to the specified level, it will decrease with the target specified on the chart.
What's changed in the gold price this week?Hello everyone, RKarina is delighted to meet you all again. Let's discuss our strategy for the new week for XAUUSD!
Currently, at the opening of the trading session, gold is moving quite steadily at around 2033 USD, with no change in direction compared to the last closing at 2035 USD.
In terms of prospects:
From a technical analysis perspective: the Bollinger Band indicates two notable levels to watch out for in the near future, with a peak at 2055 USD and a support level at 1990 USD.
In terms of market news: The European Central Bank maintaining its stance on interest rate cuts and a significant allocation of the Euro could put pressure on the USD. This will have a positive impact on the price of gold, as the interest rate adjustment period is coming to an end and gold could increase to 2050 USD by the end of the week.
What about you? What do you think will be the movement of gold? Will it continue to rise or fall?
EURUSD: End of blue translationHello dear readers, it's RKarina here again.
Currently, EURUSD has temporarily closed its trading activities and halted at the level of 1.081. It can be observed that the past week was a profitable trading week for buyers as the price was consistently supported and moved up from the newly established support level at 1.070.
As a result, the risk sentiment has improved, making it difficult for the USD to regain strength and thereby creating some foundation and support for EURUSD. RKarina expects that this currency pair will continue to increase in price in the near future, aiming for the level of 1.091 as indicated by Fibonacci as a corrective phase following the retreat from the first marked wave.
What are your thoughts on the future trend of EURUSD?
EURUSDHello everyone, today EURUSD has risen higher on Thursday, testing the highest bid price since early February before returning to the 1.0800 area after the European and US Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) data came in slightly lower or contrary to expectations.
With the ability to create DOW from the chart using Fibonacci retracement levels, the upward movement will soon reach resistance levels at 1.0865 and 1.0918, followed by a rapid decline with an expected touch level of 1.618, which is 1.0418.
What about you, do you agree with me?
