Bitcoin – Short-Term Trading Setup for the Weekend
Technical Outlook
On the 45m chart, BTC has been consolidating in a rectangular range, showing a phase of accumulation before the next breakout. A decisive move outside this zone will confirm the short-term trend direction.
Recent lows suggest selling pressure is not very strong, increasing the probability of a rebound.
Still, we cannot rule out a fake downside move to sweep liquidity before resuming higher.
Around 110,000 remains a key level to look for long opportunities, but only after a confirmed breakout.
On the other side, 110,700 and 111,900 are potential short entry zones, aligning with Fibonacci retracement and Volume Profile resistance areas.
The RSI (14) is hovering around 52, reflecting a neutral momentum – another signal that we need a breakout confirmation before positioning strongly.
Trade Scenarios
Long: wait for a confirmed breakout, entry near 110,000, SL below the nearest swing low.
Short: around 110,700 and 111,900, SL ~400 points.

GOLD STORY #1: XAUUSD SIDEWAY – SHOULD I BUY OR SELL NOW?🔎 1/ Fundamental Analysis
🔴 Global economy and market sentiment:
• Non-farm payrolls (NFP) data: Positive results, showing that the US economy is growing steadily.
• Inflation – the deciding factor: The Fed is still waiting for CPI data next week, which will be the most important factor for interest rate policy.
• Uncertainty from Russia-US tensions: Trade and political sanctions continue to increase, creating greater risks for the global market.
💡 Summary:
Although the USD received support signals from NFP, gold prices still maintained their upward momentum due to risk-off sentiment.

• Note: If you do not have a position, you should not FOMO into this price zone because the R:R ratio is no longer ideal.
🔴 SELL – Counter-trend:
• Although the uptrend does not support selling, you can consider:
• Wait for the price reaction at the resistance zone of 2725~2750. OANDA:XAUUSD
