Gold prices have pulled back from the high reached on 22 April and, more importantly, are nearing a break from the recent period of consolidation. Gold is forming a descending triangle, which could provide clues about the direction prices will take.
Typically, a descending triangle is considered a bearish continuation pattern. In this instance, gold has been...
Gold appears to be showing signs of finally cracking after an impressive run higher, with the excitement surrounding its rally potentially approaching a crescendo. The precious metal experienced a sharp intraday reversal on 22 April, a decline that continued into 23 April. Since the recent uptrend began in mid-March, gold has consistently found support at its...
USD/CAD has strengthened significantly over the past few days as markets have been shaken by President Trump’s new trade war with Canada and the rest of the world. That said, USD/CAD may be due for a pause in its recent rally and could consolidate somewhat, having reached some key technical indicators and support levels.
The loonie’s relative strength index fell...
The Nasdaq 100 has continued declining, attempting to find some support after breaking below the August 2024 lows on 4 April. The next obvious support levels lie around the late 2021 and 2022 highs, which, for now at least, are offering some stability.

The Nasdaq 100 has had a rough start to 2025, plunging by nearly 15% over the year so far. Even with the recent rally, the technology-heavy index remains down almost 9%, and where it goes from here appears less certain.

USD/CAD is gearing up for a potential breakout as a symmetrical triangle nears completion.

The diamond pattern in gold has played out, but instead of a reversal pattern, it acted as a continuation pattern this time. However, it is possible that the pattern has been completed, and gold could pause its recent rally before resuming its upward bias.
Measuring from the top to the bottom of the diamond to project the move in gold from the breakout point...
USD/CAD could strengthen over several trading sessions as it moves below an uptrend, with momentum, as measured by the relative strength index (RSI), turning negative. This could strengthen USD/CAD to around CA$1.415 from its current rate of CA$1.433.
USD/CAD has been unable to rise back above CA$1.45 despite multiple attempts since mid-February. The pair’s...
EUR/USD has strengthened materially following news of EU plans to increase defence spending. This has resulted in yields across Europe rising sharply and, more importantly, spreads widening against US Treasuries.
At the same time, US rates have fallen materially as growth fears take hold due to the Trump administration’s new tariff plans. When comparing the chart...
