GBP/AUD BULLS WILL DOMINATE THE MARKET|LONG
Hello, Friends!
It makes sense for us to go long on GBP/AUD right now from the support line below with the target of 2.022 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.

Hello, Friends!
It makes sense for us to go short on GBP/USD right now from the resistance line above with the target of 1.243 because of the confluence of the two strong factors which are the general downtrend on the previous 1W candle and the overbought situation on the lower TF determined by it’s proximity to the upper BB band.

World gold prices increased despite the high USD.Gold prices hit a near four-week high on safe-haven demand amid financial market turmoil. Investors sought safety amid concerns about Britain's finances and President-elect Donald Trump's economic policies.
In Britain, concerns about the budget deficit sent the pound to its lowest in more than a year against the dollar, with 10-year government bond yields rising to 4.92% and the FTSE 250 index falling for a third straight day, raising concerns about the risk of global financial contagion.
Meanwhile, market attention turns to Friday's US nonfarm payrolls report, which is expected to show the number of new jobs in December fell to 160,000, compared with 227,000 in November.

Hellena | Oil (4H): Short to area of 50% Fibo lvl of 71.500. Colleagues, I believe that price is ending a five-wave upward movement and a correction is about to begin. I expect the price to renew the nearest high and reach the area of 75.500, after which it will start a correction to the area of 50% Fibonacci level of 71.500.
It may well be that the price will immediately start a downward movement and it will mean that wave “C” is already completed.

NFP focus, GOLD is reaching initial bullish conditionsOn Asian markets on Friday (January 10), OANDA:XAUUSD Spot delivery maintains the intraday recovery trend and gold price is currently at about 2,672 USD/ounce, a range of about more than 1 dollar during the day as of the time of writing.
Market participants turned their attention to the US nonfarm payrolls report.
Today (Friday), the United States will release the closely watched non-farm payrolls report, which is expected to cause a big move in the gold market.
Authoritative surveys show nonfarm payrolls in the United States would have increased by 160,000 last December, following a whopping 227,000 increase in November. US unemployment rate expected to fall maintained at 4.2% in December.
The survey found that average hourly wages in the United States are expected to increase 0.3% month-over-month in December, following a 0.4% increase in November. Annual wage growth is likely maintained at 4%.
Better-than-expected US nonfarm payrolls data is seen as positive for the dollar and vice versa. And of course, this greatly impacts the gold price trend.
From a technical perspective, OANDA:XAUUSD is heading for the 4th consecutive day of increase but the real uptrend has not yet been clearly formed.
However, the daily chart of gold prices has also achieved the initial technical conditions for a possible increase in price with price activity above EMA21, POC Volume Profile and the 0.50% Fibonacci retracement level. Currently, these indicators are becoming the closest support.
An important factor for the uptrend to form is the level of 2,693USD, which is considered a technical confirmation point for a newly formed uptrend. Once it is broken above and gold sustains activity above this level, the next target is around $2,730 in the short term.
The relative strength index RSI has also risen above 50. However, the slope is not large but it is still considered a positive signal for gold prices in the near future.
During the day, gold had initial bullish technical conditions and notable levels are listed below.

XAUUSD | Potential Move To 3100 with Bullish Pennant Formation.Technical Analysis
XAUUSD shows strong potential to move towards the supply zone at 2749.63, followed by a possible pullback to the demand zone at 2581.85. This movement could form a bullish pennant pattern, which is a continuation pattern. A breakout from this pennant may lead to the -61.80% Fibonacci target at 3101.21.
Below is a chart illustrating the potential movement towards the supply and demand zones:
Supply and Demand Zones ()
Once the bullish pennant forms and a breakout occurs, the price could reach the -61.80% Fibonacci level, which is the typical target for such patterns. The next chart highlights this scenario:

Fundamental Insights

Summary

A breakout from the pennant might result in a move toward the -61.80% Fibonacci level at 3101.21. Traders should monitor price action and fundamental developments to validate this setup.
USDCAD - Long Trade (10th Jan 2025)Straightforward long trade setup on USDCAD. Not aiming for anything high. Just want to illustrate the efficacy of this type of setup based on low-hanging fruit objectives, which in this case is the immediate swing high. Why not the other one since it is so close? Well, sometimes we get additional manipulation. Today is also NFP, so will take any moves against me before pushing up with a grain of salt.

Bullish Scenario:

A breakout above 2695 could lead to further gains, targeting 2710.

GOLD → False Breakout. Can Buyers Recover?Hello, dear friends! Ben here!
Gold has made a false breakout at $2,637 and is now searching for strong support. The current situation is highly complex, both fundamentally and technically.
Fundamentally, the situation remains challenging. Gold's weakness is influenced by the Fed's hawkish stance and the strength of the US Dollar. However, upward pressure on gold persists due to other factors, including the escalation of conflicts in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, Trump’s protectionist policies targeting Europe and Asia, and rising geopolitical risks worldwide.
Technically, after the false breakout at $2,637 (previously a resistance level), the price is now heading toward a new testing zone around $2,622. Below that, the ascending channel support at $2,606 could act as the lower boundary where buyers may start an aggressive play.
Key Support Levels: $2,622, $2,606
Key Resistance Levels: $2,637, $2,647, $2,665
Overall, I lean toward a medium-term bearish trend. However, the local situation remains tense and complicated. If the bulls manage to hold their ground within the ascending channel, gold may continue its upward move.
But! If buyers fail to maintain their position within the channel, a correction could extend the downward momentum further, leading to deeper declines.
Best regards, Bentradegold!
