Market Analysis
GOLD
GOLD prices are expected to continue their bullish trajectory. The recent surge occurred during the early Asian session, with traders and analysts buying at premium levels. The MACD confirms the move with increased bullish volume, while the RSI is approaching overbought territory, suggesting the possibility of a brief pullback before continuation higher. GOLD has reached historic highs at $3,275.30/oz, surpassing analysts’ expectations for the year. We maintain our target of $3,800/oz by year-end, as geopolitical and economic dynamics continue to support the bull trend. With economic indicators pointing to continued uncertainty, trade timing will be critical for capturing profits in upcoming market moves.
SILVER
SILVER prices have risen, though not by significant levels, suggesting there is still room for GOLD to continue its rise. MACD and RSI signals indicate that while there is bullish momentum, SILVER has yet to catch up with GOLD. We are awaiting the perfect trade timing to buy into SILVER as it moves in correlation with GOLD. As soon as SILVER gains strength, it may indicate that GOLD has reached its overextended limits. Look for breakout entries in SILVER once momentum picks up in line with GOLD’s rally.
DXY (US Dollar Index)
The US Dollar continues to face downward pressure. The MACD shows bullish volume divergence despite muted price action, while the RSI suggests that the market is oversold, which could lead to further consolidation before another leg down. Given the ongoing tariff developments, Dollar weakness is expected to continue over the medium term. Trade timing in USD-based pairs will be crucial as the Dollar weakens further, and traders should focus on breakout entries when signs of continued decline appear.
GBPUSD
The Pound is seeing a resurgence of bullish movement, supported by both the MACD and RSI, which confirm rising bullish volume and momentum. This strength is primarily driven by Dollar weakness, with the broader market structure maintaining an upward trajectory. We expect continued upside in the coming sessions. Look for trade timing to enter during pullbacks or consolidation phases, as GBPUSD maintains its bullish bias.
AUDUSD
The Aussie Dollar reflects strong bullish momentum, with both the MACD and RSI confirming the continuation of this trend. Despite this, the Aussie faces resistance at 0.63407. We anticipate a potential pullback near the EMA200 before continuation higher. Trade timing will be important here to avoid exposure to a possible pullback. Breakout entries should be considered once the price moves above resistance levels.
NZDUSD
The Kiwi mirrors the Aussie Dollar, showing strong bullish momentum. The MACD and RSI both confirm rising volume and momentum, indicating continued upside. However, as with the AUD, we remain cautious about potential short-term retracements. Traders should watch for trade timing and enter on breakout entries once the market confirms sustained strength.
EURUSD
The Euro is continuing its bullish trend, although recent price action has seen a sharp drop, followed by a recovery. The MACD and RSI show steady bullish volume despite a brief sell-off, signaling that the trend remains intact. The EMA200 may offer support during any short-term retracements. Trade timing will be important as we continue to seek buying opportunities in the EURUSD pair, while staying vigilant for a possible consolidation phase before the next move higher.
USDJPY
The Yen is facing increased bearish pressure relative to the USD. Both the MACD and RSI confirm this bearish momentum, suggesting a potential continuation downward. As investors continue to flock to safe-haven assets like gold, the Yen is likely to strengthen in the coming sessions. Look for selling opportunities in the USDJPY pair, especially once key support levels are broken.
USDCHF
The Swiss Franc remains in consolidation, with neither the MACD nor the RSI presenting strong directional momentum. Despite this, the broader market shows signs of potential downside once price breaks structure. Trade timing should focus on waiting for a clear break in USDCHF price action, at which point breakout entries can be made once momentum shifts.
USDCAD
The Canadian Dollar continues to show short-term bullish momentum, as both the MACD and RSI confirm this shift. However, the overall trend remains bearish, and we continue to favor selling opportunities unless price breaks convincingly to the upside. The impact of economic indicators and geopolitical developments on the CAD will be key in shaping future price movements.
