What will the new week's gold price look like?Let's all join in and devise a strategy to earn gold this week! Last Friday, gold experienced a significant decline, plummeting nearly 1000 pips from $2431 to $2333. However, as we begin this week, gold has quickly regained its upward momentum, similar to recent trends. Currently, the price is hovering around $2360, after a 0.64% recovery today, equivalent to approximately $15. Despite the recent market fluctuations, the upward trend of gold remains strong, serving as an excellent hedge against political tensions and financial market instability. The factors that propelled gold to record highs last Friday are still in play. China continues to lead in gold accumulation, marking the 17th consecutive month of increased gold reserves, which further reinforces optimistic sentiment. Let's keep an eye on these driving forces as they unfold!

USDJPY: Continuing to set new records!The USD/JPY has surged to its highest level in decades, reaching 154.00 during European trading on Monday. The Japanese Yen continues to weaken amid uncertainty about future interest rate hikes by the Bank of Japan (BoJ). However, concerns about potential interventions and geopolitical tensions could impact the Yen, a traditional safe haven asset. On the technical chart, the price shows strong upward momentum after a period of consolidation, moving steadily along the EMA 34 and 89 lines. The prospect of further price increases remains a top priority for this currency pair. The recent highs around the 153.25-153.30 area now serve as a strong support level, laying the groundwork for USD/JPY to potentially retest the 154.00 mark and potentially climb even higher.

Gold price today: Recovery after the storm!Last week, the price of gold fluctuated between $2,300 and $2,360 per ounce until Wednesday. By Thursday, amidst escalating tensions in the Middle East, the upward trend became evident as gold reached a new peak above $2,400 per ounce. The momentum continued into Friday, reaching $2,431.59 per ounce before declining to around $2,355 to end the week. The geopolitical risks seem poised to push the price of gold even higher. The outlook for this week is optimistic: a survey on Wall Street showed that 83% of analysts expect the price of gold to increase, with only 17% predicting a decrease. There is no neutrality in these expectations. An online poll conducted by Main Street reflects this sentiment, with 82% of investors predicting an increase or stable trading for gold. Meanwhile, 66% of surveyed retail traders expect gold to rise. Personally, I believe that gold will continue its upward trajectory, although it may experience some short-term price adjustments along the way!

Gold continues to increase in price dramatically!Hi everybody! Gold just experienced a volatile day yesterday, falling sharply to $2,330 before quickly recovering to $2,392, recording a spectacular increase of $62 in a short time. This strong recovery further reinforces the sustainable appeal of gold in the current context. In a situation where inflation in the US is rising, the Federal Reserve's (Fed) ability to delay monetary policy changes has increased the strength of gold. Gold appears to be not only sustainable but also strong, despite uncertainties from US economic data. Despite the US dollar rising against other currencies and US bond yields staying high, gold still shows resilience. I am still very optimistic about gold's prospects, considering it a safe haven, especially in the context of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East continuing to heat up.

Gold price is approaching the 2400 USD zoneAs the trading week ended, gold showed no signs of slowing down in its recovery, approaching the key $2,400 mark and posting an impressive daily gain of 1.04%, or 240 pips. Gold continues to benefit from strong market support, especially given the ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, which show no signs of easing. This confirms gold's status as a safe haven asset. In addition, expectations that major central banks will reduce interest rates later this year also contribute to strengthening the value of this precious metal. From a technical analysis perspective, if gold continues on its current trajectory, the next target according to the Fibonacci index is 2465 USD. In addition, the uptrend is also reinforced by the price movement above both EMA 34 and 89, bringing optimistic signals to investors.

GBPUSD: End of uptrendThe GBP/USD pair continues to face selling pressure around the 1.2540 level, after bouncing back from its lowest point in 2024 at 1.2520. The selling of this major currency pair is driven by a stronger US dollar, which unexpectedly rose after the US Consumer Price Index data for March. A quick look at the chart shows that the upward trend has been decisively broken and the downward momentum is further supported by the intersection of the two EMA trend lines. The market seems to be increasingly favoring sellers as the USD continues on its recovery trajectory.

GBPUSD: Selling force is still strong!On Friday morning of this week during the Asian session, the GBP/USD exchange rate stabilized at 1.2550. The market is excited with predictions that the Bank of England (BoE) may reduce interest rates ahead of the US Federal Reserve (Fed), which is putting pressure on the British Pound and the exchange rate. Today, UK GDP numbers for February and Michigan's preliminary consumer sentiment index for April will be in focus for investors. Earlier in the week, higher-than-expected CPI figures triggered speculation that the Fed may delay interest rate cuts this year in terms of quantity and timing. Fed officials believe the central bank has reached the peak of its current rate-tightening cycle and that current monetary policy puts them in a good position to respond to the economic outlook. They also open up the possibility of maintaining higher interest rates for longer if inflation tapers off. Hawkish statements from Fed officials increased the value of the US dollar, which in turn put downward pressure on the GBP/USD pair.

EURUSD: Breaking important support levels!Hello everyone, EURUSD today continued its downtrend, extending for the third day in a row, surpassing many support levels despite the appearance of a double top pattern. The support level at 1,072 could not stop the exchange rate from falling deeply. The current outlook remains skewed in favor of sellers, as candlestick patterns closed below support and a slight rise in the US dollar further exacerbated the pressure on the pair. Increasing speculation that the Fed may cut interest rates in September is also adding to the burden on EURUSD.

XAUUSD - Is the 2400 USD target possible?Hello dear friends! Yesterday, gold faced some challenges in the context of a stronger US dollar. However, it still remains a focal point of interest for international investors. After dropping to $2,330 per ounce, gold quickly rebounded within just 20 minutes, climbing back to around its previous price of $2,345 per ounce and stabilizing at around $2,331 at the time of writing. Investors seem unsurprised by the much stronger US dollar and the possibility of a delay by the Fed. Gold continues to be a safe haven amidst high inflation and the instability and turmoil of the global economy. It seems that the demand for gold will likely continue to rise unless inflation exceeds expectations. A more stable report could push the price of gold up to $2,400.

Prices rebounded after a series of quiet trading daysThe Japanese Yen has depreciated against the US Dollar this Wednesday, as the US released inflation data that was higher than expected. This development has pushed back the Fed's interest rate cut talks from June to September. Furthermore, upon reviewing the latest FOMC minutes, it appears that US officials are wary of the inflationary pressures that are looming, which could mean keeping interest rates high for a longer period. On the other hand, the Bank of Japan is showing calmness by tightening its grip, keeping the Yen under pressure and helping USDJPY rise. Keep an eye on the 153.00 level; it currently serves as a gatekeeper to the highest level in decades at 153.45. If we surpass this level, it could signal a green light for bullish speculators to push this currency pair higher, extending the upward trend we witnessed last month.

Update the latest gold price todayGold prices plummeted, dropping 20 USD after just 30 seconds after the US inflation announcement, exceeding market expectations. Inflation in March increased by 0.4%, exceeding the forecast of 0.3%, putting the Federal Reserve (Fed) in a difficult position in making future monetary policy decisions. Inflation increased 0.4% in March, pushing the annual interest rate to 3.5%, signaling persistent high inflation. This situation may force the Fed to delay cutting interest rates to prevent the US economy from falling into recession, aiming for recovery in a challenging global economic context. Previously, there were strong signals that the Fed might delay raising interest rates at its May meeting, with just over a 50% chance of a rate hike at its June 12 meeting. The consequences are for gold prices. fell as the US dollar soared, benefiting from yesterday's developments.

EURUSD: Stable waiting for new news!Hello traders! The EURUSD exchange rate is currently performing well, not deviating too far from yesterday's attractive position. It seems like we are all in this stable meditation garden, and it may stick with us until the end of the day and beyond. The Bollinger Bands range is back in action, stretching between the resistance level at 1.088 and the support level at 1.081. At the time of writing my thoughts, the price is at 1.0850, experiencing a 0.06% decline for the day. Let me tell you, a cautious atmosphere is gradually emerging as we approach the release of the US CPI index and the FOMC minutes, both scheduled for Wednesday this week. What is your strategy as we wait for the unveiling of these economic dramas?

The rising momentum shows no signs of cooling down!Gold is heading towards its eighth consecutive record-breaking day, showing no signs of slowing down to provide better entry points for the upward trend. The precious metal has few indications that the price increase will be threatened, and the CPI index will be the focus of today's trading. Looking back at recent days, even the NFP couldn't weaken gold, so it's exactly what was observed last week, with the weaker US dollar truly adding more appeal to gold. Market sentiment The buyer/seller ratio is indicating dominance in buyer changes, providing a trading signal contrary to popular belief that gold may decrease in value. Technical outlook On the H4 timeframe, the upward trend is still present, but the momentum is slowing down with shorter candles and a short-term consolidation pattern. In the event that gold continues to rise, the price target of 2370-2380 USD will be of interest today, where there are many short-term sell contracts waiting to be matched.

USDJPY: Silent for weeks!What are people's thoughts on the USDJPY breaking through the 152.00 resistance level? This currency pair has been hovering just below this resistance level for quite some time now, seemingly trapped in an endless sideways movement. But just because it hasn't broken out yet doesn't mean it won't. We may just need a little more time for the market to make a decision, especially with news that could potentially cause this currency pair to move in unpredictable ways, solely based on technical analysis. However, if you're paying attention to it, consider trying to signal a sell when it reaches the resistance level I've marked on the chart, in order to achieve short-term profit targets.

Update the latest gold informationHello gold enthusiasts! 🌟 As the US Dollar Index cools, gold's glowing appeal persists, with today's trading keeping the precious metal at an impressive $2,345—a gain of 0.26% on the day. However, with a series of consecutive price increases, gold faces a wave of profit-taking. Even so, the metal's shine has not dimmed, fueled by three powerful undercurrents fueling its record rise: 🔹 Geopolitical currents: Ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza stir volatile waters, with the potential for spillover to other countries keeping investors and governments on high alert. In these turbulent waters, gold emerges as a sturdy lifeboat for those seeking shelter from the storm. 🔹 Central bank gold rush: World Gold Council reports show notable gains, with global central bank gold reserves increasing by 19 tonnes in February. 🔹 Inflation prevention: As the wave of inflation increases, gold's reputation as a bulwark is reinforced, against the erosion of currency value. In terms of news: This week's economic calendar tends to be brighter, all attention is focused on the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) report for March, predicted on Wednesday (April 10). ), followed by the US Producer Price Index (PPI) and weekly unemployment claims on Thursday (April 11).

Gold prices today continue to remain stable at a high levelThe price of gold today continues to rise, with gold reaching $2,352.5 in the early hours of the Asian session. However, it later retreated and stabilized around $2,345. The metal's upward momentum is driven by safe-haven buying amid concerns over conflicts. Meanwhile, the market is awaiting the minutes of the Federal Reserve's policy meeting and inflation data, which will be released later in the day, to find further clues about the future interest rate trajectory in the United States. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) for March is expected to increase by 3.4% compared to the same period last year. The core CPI is up 3.7% annually. As a result, CPI data could create volatility in the gold market, and technical buying momentum will continue unless the CPI data is much hotter than expected. A lower inflation report could push gold to touch $2,400 per ounce and vice versa.
