THE KOG REPORTTHE KOG REPORT:
In last week’s KOG Report we gave the resistance levels above and said if they held, we would see an opportunity to attack the support levels of 2470-75. It’s that support level we wanted to the long trades up into the 2520 and above that 2530 levels for the week. We gave KOG’s bias of the week and bullish above with target levels 2510 (complete), 2525 (complete) and 2540 which hasn’t been achieved as yet.
We completed numerous gold targets, the red box strategy gave us some extremely decent entries and exits for the scalps and once again, we managed to trade this following it’s path.
So, what can we expect from the week ahead?
We’ve had a nice close which hasn’t quite confirmed a further move upside as yet, so we’ll play the bank holiday with caution. We would like to see how price reacts at the 2520-22 region, and if rejected, there is potential there for this to correct back down into the 2500-5 price region. It’s this support level that is important, if held, we see an opportunity to then long back up towards the 2530-35 region as the first target.
It's those higher levels, 2530-35 and above that 2540 that we want to keep an eye on. If we see any sign of a structure change there, we'll want to short this again.
For this week we want to play a little defence on the markets, as it’s a bank holiday week and the last week of the trading month. The weekly and monthly close are really important to determine future price on this precious metal, so please, if you’ve followed us, you should have had a decent month, take a little step back this week and monitor price. We’ll be looking at key and extreme levels expecting the repercussions of Jackson Hole on Tuesday onwards.
KOG’s bias of the week:
Bullish above 2490 with targets above 2420 and above that 2430-35
Bearish on break of 2490 with targets below 2465

NZD/USD Approaches Resistance: Are Shorts the Next Move?The NZD/USD pair has reached a key supply area around 0.6168, which coincides with a significant resistance zone on the daily timeframe. This area has attracted attention due to the confluence of several technical and fundamental factors.
According to the latest Commitment of Traders (COT) report, retail traders are increasingly taking long positions in the pair, while fund managers are moving in the opposite direction, positioning themselves short. Additionally, commercial traders, who typically represent larger institutional players, are beginning to reduce their long positions, suggesting a shift in market sentiment.
This shift aligns with broader market indicators, including seasonality patterns and oscillator readings, which both support the case for a potential short setup. The seasonality analysis indicates a period of historical weakness for the NZD/USD pair, while oscillators suggest that the recent upward momentum may be losing steam.
Given these factors, the supply area around 0.6168 presents a compelling opportunity for traders looking to capitalize on a potential downward move. The combination of technical resistance, COT positioning, and seasonal trends all point towards a possible short setup in the near term. As always, traders should monitor these levels closely and consider risk management strategies to navigate the evolving market conditions.

EUR/USD Soars to 2024 Highs as Fed Rate Cut Speculation GrowsThe EUR/USD pair extended its rally for the fourth consecutive day, reaching new 2024 highs around 1.1170. This surge has been fueled by continued weakness in the US Dollar (USD), which has been under pressure as market sentiment shifts.
The US Dollar Index (DXY), a measure of the USD’s strength against a basket of major currencies, fell below the critical 101.00 level for the first time since December 2023. This decline was exacerbated by the release of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) Minutes, which hinted at the possibility of an interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve (Fed) in September.
From a technical perspective, the EUR/USD pair bypassed its first supply area without a significant rebound and is now approaching the second supply zone, a key area where a potential sell reversal is being closely monitored. The latest Commitment of Traders (COT) report reveals an interesting divergence: retail traders remain bullish on the pair, while commercial traders and large funds appear to be positioning themselves for a move in the opposite direction.
The likelihood of a rate cut has been a focal point for traders. The CME Group’s FedWatch Tool currently shows nearly a 60% chance of a 25 basis point reduction at the Fed's September 18 meeting, a slight decrease from around 70% the previous day. Despite the FOMC Minutes supporting the possibility of lower rates as early as next month, Fed Governor Michelle Bowman urged caution, suggesting that rate reductions should be gradual if inflation aligns with the Fed’s 2% target. Her comments indicate a desire to avoid an overly restrictive monetary policy that could stifle economic growth.
Should the Fed opt for more substantial rate cuts, the policy gap between the Fed and the European Central Bank (ECB) could narrow in the medium to long term. This convergence may further support the EUR/USD pair, particularly as market participants expect the ECB to implement two additional rate cuts this year. Such a scenario could provide additional upward momentum for the EUR/USD, pushing it even higher in the coming months.
XAU price forecast to continue risingkeep an eye on the Fed's next moves
The initial jobless claims report and S&P Global PMI data will provide further signals on the health of the US economy.
Initial jobless claims for the week ending August 17 are expected to rise to 230K, up slightly from 227K last week. Services activity is expected to contract slightly, while the manufacturing PMI is expected to be flat.
The first resistance level for XAU/USD to conquer is the $2,550 area, followed by the $2,600 mark.
However, if gold fails to hold above $2,500, key support levels will be at $2,483 (July 17 high), followed by $2,450 (May 20 high). In a stronger bearish scenario, deeper support could be the 50-day simple moving average at $2,395.
XAU continues to rise and hit a recordGold resumed its losses today and hovered near an all-time high after minutes from the US Federal Reserve's latest meeting showed officials were strongly inclined to cut interest rates at their September policy meeting. "Gold has the potential to move higher but not accelerate sharply without any unexpected events to spur it," Tai Wong added. "Gold prices closed higher after minutes from the Fed meeting showed 'majority' of the committee is ready to cut interest rates in September"
USD/CHF Stabilizes Near 0.8520 as Markets Eye FOMC MinutesDuring Wednesday's European session, the USD/CHF pair found a temporary support level near 0.8520, pausing its downward momentum after three consecutive days of losses. The Swiss Franc has managed to stabilize as the US Dollar (USD) regains some strength following its recent drop to a seven-month low.
The market atmosphere remains calm as traders and investors shift their focus to the release of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) minutes from the July meeting. These minutes are expected to provide key insights into the Federal Reserve's (Fed) thinking, particularly regarding the potential for interest rate cuts in the near future.
From a technical standpoint, the USD/CHF pair has returned to a significant demand zone, where a trade position has already been established. The current price action suggests a potential pullback, hinting at a possible upward movement. Supporting this outlook, the latest Commitment of Traders (COT) report highlights a divergence in market sentiment: retail traders are predominantly bearish, while commercial traders, including large funds and money managers, appear to be increasing their positions, indicating a potential shift in market trends.
As the week unfolds, market participants will be closely monitoring any new developments that could influence the Fed's monetary policy decisions, particularly regarding the possibility of interest rate cuts in September and by the end of the year. The Fed, having kept rates steady in July within the 5.25%-5.50% range, has left the door open for potential rate reductions, which could drive further market movements as more economic data emerges.

XAU all time highGold prices were little changed this morning, the USD weakened and investors increasingly believe that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) may cut interest rates in September.

EUR/USD: Bullish Outlook with Key TargetsHey there, looking at the FOREXCOM:EURUSD chart on a 10-day timeframe, it’s clear that the price has been stuck in a range for almost two years. Right now, the price has broken through its 7-month high and is currently trading around 1.011. Personally, I have a bullish outlook for both the medium and long term.
⏩I anticipate that the price could rise toward mid-term targets of 1.11500 and 1.12800. After that, I expect the price to potentially continue its upward movement towards long-term targets of 1.14 and the Bearish Breaker Block at 1.15, especially if it breaks above the 1.12800 high.
To fully understand the ongoing trend, it will be important to observe how the price reacts to the mid-term targets.
💢 Please remember that this is just my personal viewpoint and should not be taken as investment advice. I’d love to hear your thoughts and share opinions!
Happy trading!✌😎

USD/JPY Pulls Back to 146.33 Amid Rising Yen and Fed Rate CutThe Japanese Yen is gaining ground against the US Dollar, with the USD/JPY pair pulling back to 146.33 as I write this. This upward movement is fueled by Japan's second-quarter Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth, which exceeded expectations and bolstered the case for a potential near-term interest rate hike by the Bank of Japan (BoJ).
Despite this, the USD/JPY pair has found support from a stronger US Dollar, buoyed by rising Treasury yields.
From a technical standpoint, the price is currently retesting our identified Demand area, where we’ve already initiated a long position. Retail traders remain bearish, while commercial traders are starting to increase their positions.
The recent US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data has sparked discussions about the scale of the Federal Reserve’s potential rate cut in September. The market is leaning towards a modest 25 basis point reduction, with a 60% probability, although a larger 50 basis point cut remains a possibility, with a 36% chance according to CME FedWatch.

Gold buy opportunity very very easy flying big bullish all time Gold has broken above the upper resistance of the dotted blue trend lines as discussed earlier this week Prices are now pushing higher with the target of this move remaining upward This is due to the ascending broadening wedge pattern which indicates significant volatility and supports gold prices above the blue dotted trend line
EUR/USD: Key Supply Zones to Watch for Potential ReversalsThe EUR/USD pair has extended its upward momentum, reaching new highs for 2024, currently hovering around 1.1077 as I write this. This surge is largely attributed to the persistent weakness in the US Dollar (USD), which has been on the back foot in recent sessions.
Expectations around the upcoming Consumer Price Index (CPI) release have shifted market sentiment. While there was initial speculation of a half-point rate cut by the Federal Reserve next month, the chances of such a significant cut have diminished. Instead, a more modest rate reduction now seems more likely, especially in light of better-than-anticipated outcomes from other critical US economic indicators.
Looking forward, the release of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) Minutes is anticipated to be the key event this week. However, market participants will also keep a close eye on Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium and the testimony of Bank of Japan (BoJ) Governor Kazuo Ueda before Parliament. These events could offer further insights into the future direction of monetary policies, influencing the USD and, by extension, the EUR/USD pair.
From a technical perspective, the EUR/USD has approached a critical Supply area, where we observe a significant concentration of retail traders maintaining long positions, while commercial players have reduced their exposure. Given the current sideways market conditions, this Supply zone could be pivotal. A reversal may occur here, leading to a potential decline in the pair. However, if the price does not reverse at this level, the next key Supply area to watch would be around 1.1175. This level could become the next focal point for traders looking to identify potential turning points in the market.

XAU receives strong support from USDWeaker USD Supports Strong XAU Gains
XAU is currently at an all-time high
Although gold has since been hit by a wave of profit-taking from investors, the decline in the USD is providing positive support and halting the decline in the precious metal.
Traders are now looking ahead to the annual Jackson Hole Federal Reserve meeting that begins later this week. In previous years, central bank officials have made market-moving statements at the meeting. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell is scheduled to speak at the meeting on Thursday morning.
XAU has a long term uptrendGold had a stellar week, with a rally on August 17 pushing the precious metal to an all-time high above $2,500 an ounce and, according to experts, the long-term trend is definitely up. The housing data released this morning was so bad that it pushed market expectations even higher. "It really amplified the gold market and the possibility of a rate cut in September will continue to increase
Xauusd long Target Gold retreats after setting a new record high of $2,500
Gold stages a technical correction and trades below $2,490 after setting a new record high of $2,500 earlier in the day, boosted by falling US Treasury bond yields. Profit-taking could ramp up the volatility heading into the weekend.
Gold is pulling back from the range ceiling it was pushing up against for most of the earlier part of the week. The short-term trend is probably sideways and, given “the trend is your friend”, is more likely than not to extend in that direction – oscillating within its range.
Gold appears to have begun a fresh down leg within the range. It will probably now move down to $2,400, perhaps even reaching the range floor in the $2,390s. Due to the fact the range is tapering slightly, it might also be seen as a triangle pattern in the latter stages of development. A break below $2,432 (August 15 lows) would help provide additional bearish confirmation the down leg was evolving.
