EUR/USD turns south to 1.0650Hello everyone, it's RKarina again!
EUR/USD has turned lower after rising in previous trading sessions, currently stabilizing around 1.0650 during the European session on Monday. The current trend of the pair is bearish, recorded at 1.064, because of increased demand for the US Dollar as a safe haven due to the decline in risk appetite. The market is currently very cautious due to the lack of important economic data from the EU and US. Lagarde's upcoming speech is highly anticipated.
From a technical analysis standpoint, current signals favor a selling strategy, after the price has approached and failed to break through support, along with the formation of a double top. In the short term, it is expected that the 1,062 level will be retested after the current support level is broken by investors selling off.

Gold price dropped shockingly on the first day of the week!Hi everybody! As I am writing these lines, XAUUSD has seen a significant price drop, down $35 in the early hours of Monday morning and is currently sitting at around $2356. The short-term outlook suggests further downside is likely.
Current chart analysis shows that gold is under downward pressure after overcoming two key support levels. This reflects the adjustment process after a week of strong price increases, when investors began to sell to take profits. If support at $2050 fails to hold, gold could continue to decline.
However, on the positive side, gold still has a chance to recover. It will soon face resistance at the Fibonacci retracement point between 0.5 and 0.618, which coincides with the intersection of the 34 and 89 EMA. Gold needs a strong push to overcome this resistance if it wants to continue. continue the upward trend in prices.
Regarding market forecasts, a recent survey of 14 Wall Street analysts showed a strong belief in the bullish prospects of gold: 72% of them predicted that gold prices will increase, 21% think prices will stabilize, and only 7% predict prices will decrease.
Update gold price at the beginning of the week!Hello everyone, let's explore the price movements of gold in the new week!
At the beginning of the trading week, gold quickly adjusted downwards, losing nearly $23 in the first few hours of the Asian trading session. Currently, the price of gold is at $2369 and it is projected that in the short term, this metal may continue to decline after reaching the trendline and forming a descending triple top pattern.
However, in the long term, gold still has an upward trend. The ongoing instability in the Middle East continues to drive the demand for gold as a safe haven asset to cope with political uncertainty.
In terms of prospects and expectations for the week: This week, we should pay attention to economic data including new home sales figures for March released on Tuesday, durable goods orders for March on Wednesday, pending home sales, initial jobless claims, and preliminary Q1 GDP (including quarterly PCE) on Thursday, and March PCE on Friday. These will be crucial in determining the future movements of gold, so closely monitor them to stay updated on trading opportunities!
How does gold price move today?Global gold prices have witnessed a significant price increase due to ongoing tensions in the Middle East, despite positive economic data from the US.

EUR/USD has recovered momentum and now sees positive growth, surpassing 1.0650 today. This upturn was a result of the earlier reduction in flight to safety, pressuring the US dollar as the week ended, thereby boosting the pair.
However, EUR/USD's upward momentum may only last in the short term because it has not yet surpassed the two EMA lines and the resistance level at 1.073. As long as trading remains below this level, EUR/USD will still face significant challenges ahead.
Gold followed up with jumpsHi everybody! Let's look back at gold price developments last week and prepare plans for next week!
Last week saw an explosion in gold prices, when it reached a record high of 2,431 USD/ounce before cooling down and stabilizing at around 2,400 USD/ounce. By the end of the week, prices had ended at $2,392 per ounce, up 0.55% on the day.
The main factors driving gold prices to increase sharply include: the conflict situation in the Middle East continues to be tense; Fed Chairman Jerome Powell and other officials believe there is no need to further reduce interest rates; and in particular, China's strong buying has facilitated gold in conquering new peaks.

This precious metal is currently trading above the two exponential moving averages EMA 34 and EMA 89, which continues to support investors buying. Gold is maintaining its current trend, trading above the Trendline and it is important to watch for any buying opportunities when the price re-touches the Trendline and check the stability of these two EMAs.
