Gold prices continue to increase from the level 2675OANDA:XAUUSD continuing the uptrend in local and medium-term timeframes. The price is once again testing strong resistance levels on the H4 chart, with prospects for a breakout toward the 2700–2750 range.
The US Dollar remains near weekly lows, touched after weaker-than-expected US PPI data on Tuesday, providing key support for the market, including gold. Attention now shifts to the upcoming CPI report, a critical release that could reshape market expectations for Fed rate cuts this year. A stronger-than-expected CPI could increase pressure on gold, while a weaker report would bolster buying momentum. Additionally, the Fed’s hawkish stance is supported by the premise that Trump, beginning his second term next week, may drive inflation higher with protectionist policies.
From a technical perspective, significant volume lies ahead, which could trigger a minor pullback toward support before the uptrend resumes.
Key short-term levels to watch:
Support: 2678, 2670
Resistance: 2690, 2697
However, in both the short and medium term, everything hinges on the upcoming scheduled news. Stay focused on these critical levels, traders!
Best regards, Bentradegold!

$DXY Dollar on Deck: Will Tariffs Ignite or Undermine the Green TVC:DXY Dollar on Deck: Will Tariffs Ignite or Undermine the Greenback? 🔥💰
Is the U.S. Dollar about to flex its muscles like the Incredible Hulk—or get knocked out by global trade tensions? Let’s find out. 💪⚡
1/
Is the U.S. Dollar about to “Hulk out” 💪 or trip over its own shoelaces? Let’s break down the latest on the Dollar Index ( TVC:DXY ) after new tariff chatter. 🧵
2/
Markets briefly cheered Trump’s slower tariff rollout, fueling an S&P rally. But lingering threats against China, the EU, & NAFTA partners keep investors on edge—and that spells potential volatility for the dollar. ⚠️
3/
Near-term catalyst? February 1. Tariffs could jump to 10% on Chinese imports & 25% on Canada/Mexico. Higher import costs might boost the dollar (safe-haven appeal + inflation expectations), but watch for global retaliation. 🌐
4/
Tariffs + inflation = possible dollar strength. When prices rise, the greenback often flexes. But if the global economy slows due to aggressive trade policies, the TVC:DXY could feel the burn. 🔥
5/
Currency manipulation reviews by April 1 add more spice. If the U.S. takes action against “manipulators,” some see it as bullish for the buck. Others fear a global trade skirmish that drags everyone down. 🤔
6/
From a technical angle:
• Watch key support/resistance levels.
• Safe-haven flows could drive TVC:DXY up.
• Swift reversals are possible if markets sense overreach or a global slowdown. 📈📉
7/
Where do you see TVC:DXY heading with these tariff moves?
A) Strong rally ahead 🚀
B) Short spike, then slump ⬇️
C) Range-bound and choppy 🤷♂️

GBP/USD--> Bulls pause, uptrend still intactFX:GBPUSD entered a temporary corrective phase after a two-day rally, pulling back to the 1.2300 region during the early European session on Wednesday. This move comes as the U.S. Dollar regains strength amid heightened demand for safe-haven assets, driven by growing trade war concerns under the Trump administration.
On the 4H chart, despite the current dip, the broader structure remains bullish. The pair continues to trade above the EMA 34 and EMA 89, which are acting as dynamic support levels. Additionally, the formation of higher lows underscores the strength of the upward trend.
Key Levels to Watch:
0.618 Fib retracement at 1.2288: A potential area for bulls to regroup.
0.5 Fib retracement at 1.22363: The next major support zone if the correction deepens.
A sustained hold above these levels could fuel renewed buying momentum, potentially setting the stage for a continuation of the broader uptrend.

Gold update: Bulls remain in control!Hello everyone! Let’s dive into today’s gold price analysis.
Currently, spot gold is trading at $2,750 per ounce, marking an impressive increase of $53 from its intraday low of $2,697 during last night’s session.
The rise in gold prices is primarily a direct result of a weakening U.S. dollar. Investors, including myself, are flocking to gold as a safe-haven asset amid rising uncertainties. Adding to this momentum is the looming threat of tariffs from President Donald Trump. His hints at imposing new tariffs on Canadian and Mexican goods, possibly as early as February 1, have sparked widespread concerns.
In my view, these tariff threats are closely tied to inflation fears. Should Trump’s policies drive inflation higher, the Federal Reserve may be compelled to maintain elevated interest rates to manage price pressures. This scenario would further support gold’s price trajectory, making it a critical asset to watch in the coming trading sessions.
On the technical front, as highlighted on the 1-hour chart, gold has successfully broken above the major resistance level of the ascending wedge channel. The price is currently consolidating above this boundary, with support from the EMA 34 and EMA 89, making a buy strategy more attractive than ever.
Gold may experience a minor pullback or consolidation from the psychological level of $2,750, possibly testing the key 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level, before resuming its upward trend. However, a decisive break above $2,750 would signal that the metal is primed for its next rally.
Happy trading, and may your profits soar!
GOLD SELLERS WILL DOMINATE THE MARKET|SHORT
Hello, Friends!
GOLD pair is trading in a local uptrend which we know by looking at the previous 1W candle which is green. On the 2H timeframe the pair is going up too. The pair is overbought because the price is close to the upper band of the BB indicator. So we are looking to sell the pair with the upper BB line acting as resistance. The next target is 2,721.250 area.

EUR/CAD BEARISH BIAS RIGHT NOW| SHORT
Hello, Friends!

EUR/GBP BEST PLACE TO SELL FROM|SHORT
Hello, Friends!
We are now examining the EUR/GBP pair and we can see that the pair is going up locally while also being in a uptrend on the 1W TF. But there is also a powerful signal from the BB upper band being nearby, indicating that the pair is overbought so we can go short from the resistance line above and a target at 0.831 level.

USD/CHF BULLS ARE STRONG HERE|LONG
Hello, Friends!
It makes sense for us to go long on USD/CHF right now from the support line below with the target of 0.917 because of the confluence of the two strong factors which are the general uptrend on the previous 1W candle and the oversold situation on the lower TF determined by it’s proximity to the lower BB band.

Hellena | EUR/USD (4H): Short to the 1.00784 support area.Colleagues, I think the downward movement is over. Wave “3” is just developing and it may be shorter or longer than we think, but we can be sure of one thing - the end of the five-wave movement will be lower than the minimum of 1.01753.
I believe that a correction to the 1.03442 area is possible, then I expect a continuation of the decline to the 1.00784 support area.
Manage your capital correctly and competently! Only enter trades based on reliable patterns!
Hellena | Oil (4H): LONG to area of 82.000 (Wave "5"). Colleagues, all trading instruments are behaving extremely unpredictably right now due to the situation with Trump's inauguration among other things.
I see this as an opportunity to redraw the waves.
Apparently now the price is developing wave “4” and will finish it soon. I expect the price to reach the area of 82.000, renewing the high of wave “3”.
