US S&P Zone Analysis -- Correlation with
1. Leading Economic Indicators (PMI Manufacturing Index, PMI Services Index, Building Permits)
2. US Interest Rates (MEAN 1.97 from Jan 2003)
3. US Inflation Rate YoY
4. Dollar Index (DXY)
5. Quantitative Easing Episodes
WHY CHANGE IN APPROACH?
As per Ammar Bhai, Red and other Zones for US and developed markets shall not follow only Interest Rates after 2000. Traditional single impact of Interest Rate is not Enough.
NOTE ABOUT INFLATION ABOVE 5%
It was also noticed that if inflation was about 5% that coincided with Red and Yellow zone and it must be avoided for stock trading.
NEW APPROACH
NEW GREEN ZONE
1. PMI Manuf Index is RISING or ABOVE 50
2. Interest Rates are FALLING or LEVELED or BELOW MEAN (Expansionary Policy in Effect)
3. Inflation is FALLING or AROUND TARGET
4. DXY is FALLING or SIDEWAYS
5. Stock Market RISING
NEW APPROACH for RED ZONE
1. PMI Manuf Index is FALLING or BELOW 50
2. Interest Rates are RISING or LEVELED or ABOVE MEAN (Contractionary Policy in Effect)
3. Inflation is RISING or SIDEWAYS. (Also Check if Inflation rate is above 5%)
4. DXY is RISING
5. Stock Market FALLING or SIDEWAYS
NEW YELLOW ZONE
1. PMI Manuf Index is RISING or ABOVE 50
2. Interest Rates are RISING or LEVELED
3. Inflation is RISING or SIDEWAYS (Also Check if Inflation rate is above 5%)
4. DXY is RISING or SIDEWAYS
5. Stock Market RISING or SIDEWAYS
NEW ORANGE ZONE
1. PMI Manuf Index is SIDEWAYS or BELOW 50
2. Interest Rates are FALLING or LEVELED or BELOW MEAN (Expansionary Policy in Effect)
3. Inflation is FALLING or SIDEWAYS (Also Check if Inflation rate is above 5%)
4. DXY is FALLING or SIDEWAYS
5. Stock Market RISING or SIDEWAYS
Historically whenever Interest Rates are dropping, US market goes down for some months:
US somehow try to control Inflation before bringing the interest rates down.
When Inflation is under control and Growth has not gone down much, then they decrease the interest rates
Because in past whenever Interest rates were decreased, growth also fell for some months and then improved.
Then FED does QE, which bring surplus cash in the market, Which drops Dollar rate, that helps the Stock Market grow.

GOLD 4H: structure broken - phase reversal beginsTwo key directional signals were recorded on the gold chart: first, a breakdown of the ascending channel, followed by a confident downward exit from the triangle with a clear fixation under the $3297 boundary. Both figures worked independently, but consistently - and strengthened the impulse towards selling.
The price has already gone beyond the lower boundary of the triangle ($3297), confirming the bearish scenario. Candlesticks closing under the level and local consolidation from below is a characteristic formation before the momentum continues.
Technical parameters:
- Channel breakout: completed
- Triangle breakout: $3297 level
- Retest from below: expected as confirmation
- EMAs reversed downwards, structure broken
- Volumes strengthened at the moment of breakout
Tactical plan:
- Sell after retest of $3297
- Targets on the move: $3248 and $3201
- Stop: above $3305 (above the area of false outs).
The current structure indicates the end of the accumulation phase and the beginning of the downward momentum. As long as the price holds below $3297 - shorts are the priority.
"Pricing Perfection: The Thin Ice Beneath Record Highs"As markets push to all-time highs, the rally feels less like euphoria and more like walking a tightrope. What happens when the market prices in perfection
The S&P 500 is sitting at all-time highs, not because the world is perfect — but because the market is betting that it will be. This rally is no longer driven by surprises or revisions — it’s driven by expectations that everything will go right: inflation will cool, rates will drop, earnings will beat, AI will deliver, and geopolitical tensions will stay neatly compartmentalized.
In reality, we are walking on thin ice. Beneath the surface lies fragile market breadth, decelerating economic data, and a Fed that continues to speak hawkishly even as liquidity props things up. Any minor deviation from this “Goldilocks” scenario — a hot CPI, a guidance miss from a mega-cap, or a geopolitical headline — has the power to trigger sharp repricing.
When the market prices in perfection, it doesn’t need a bear to show up. It just needs something less than ideal. At these levels, risk becomes asymmetric — all reward is front-loaded, but the pain, if it comes, is unpriced and sudden.
The current equity landscape isn’t just optimistic — it’s priced for flawless execution across earnings, rates, geopolitics, and liquidity.
That leaves asymmetric downside risk if even a minor narrative breaks. Trump has become know for creating larger than minor narratives... ;)
HNST: When honesty turns into a breakout formationOn the weekly chart, The Honest Company (HNST) is shaping a textbook broadening formation. Four waves are already in place, and the fifth is unfolding. The recent bounce came exactly after a retest of the long-term trendline at point (4), pushing the price above the critical $4.97 resistance (0.236 Fibo) — a clear signal that buyers are reclaiming control.
Volume is steadily rising, and the golden cross (MA50 crossing above MA200) further confirms a mid-term trend shift. The volume profile above current prices is nearly empty — indicating minimal resistance. Immediate targets are $6.33 and $6.94 (0.5 and 0.618 Fibo), while the full breakout projection lands at $8.91, $10.31, and even $12.09 (based on 1.0, 1.272, and 1.618 expansions).
Fundamentals (as of June 28, 2025):
— Market Cap: ~$460M
— Revenue (TTM): ~$344M
— YoY Revenue Growth: +7.6%
— EPS: –0.18 (loss narrowing)
— Cash on hand: ~$24M
— Debt: under $10M
— P/S ratio: 1.34
Despite being unprofitable, HNST is showing strong signs of operational improvement — rising gross margins, controlled costs, and increasing leverage. Growth in both online and retail sales adds further support. With institutional buying picking up, the market may be slowly re-rating this small-cap FMCG player.
Trade Plan:
— Entry: by market
— Targets: $6.33 → $8.91 → up to $12.09
When even an "honest" stock starts drawing broadening patterns and volume’s rising — it’s not a hint, it’s a launch sequence. And the bears? Might want to take a seat in the back.
How to Trade When Buy/Sell Alerts Conflict with Market StructureQuestion:
If we have a buy/sell alert and an opposing Market Structure, how can we tell which will prevail or is heavier?
Answer (VX Algo System perspective):
In the VX Algo system, both the alert signals (buy/sell) and the market structure are crucial, but they serve different roles:
Alerts are dynamic triggers based on price action, momentum, or specific algorithmic conditions. They indicate potential entry or exit points.
Market Structure reflects the broader trend and underlying order flow, indicating the prevailing direction of the market (e.g., higher highs and higher lows for bullish structure, or lower highs and lower lows for bearish structure).
When an alert contradicts the prevailing market structure, the heavier factor is usually the Market Structure because it represents the dominant order flow and sentiment. In other words, alerts give you tactical timing, but market structure provides strategic context.
How to tell which prevails:
Confirm with Market Structure: If the market structure is bullish (uptrend), a buy alert aligns with it and is more likely to succeed. A sell alert against that structure is a warning sign that the alert may be weaker or a potential false signal.
Volume and Momentum: Use volume or momentum indicators (built into VX Algo or complementary tools) to see if the alert has strength behind it. A strong sell alert with high volume during an uptrend may indicate an imminent structure shift.
Multiple Timeframe Analysis: Check if the opposing alert is supported or rejected on higher timeframes. A buy alert on a lower timeframe against a bearish higher timeframe structure is less likely to prevail.
Risk Management: If you trade against structure alerts, reduce position size and tighten stops until the structure confirms the shift.
Summary: Market structure is heavier and more reliable for directional bias. Alerts provide tactical entry timing. When they conflict, lean on structure for bias but watch for alert strength as early signals of possible structure changes.

AAPL: Premium PlayApple beat expectations this quarter—revenue, profit, EPS—all slightly better than analysts hoped. But the stock dropped to $196.26, down from $212.83. Why? Investors are still worried about tariffs, margin pressure, and supply chain changes.
Tim Cook talked about strong product sales (iPhone, Mac, iPad) and all-time high Services revenue. But he also admitted tariffs and regulatory issues are weighing on Apple’s outlook.
My Covered Call Strategy
I’m selling the $202.5 call and buying the $210 call for June 27, 2025. Big money seems to be doing the same—there was a huge premium sale over $2 million, likely betting Apple stays range-bound short term.
- Why this works:
- Resistance near $202.50 gives me a clear ceiling
- Apple fundamentals are strong, but macro risk caps upside
Chart Notes
- Resistance: $202.50 and $210
- Support: Around $192.50
Bottom line:
I like this trade as a way to bring in income while defining my risk. If Apple grinds sideways or pushes a bit higher, the trade still pays. Clean structure, high odds.
Bitcoin ready for new ALL TIME HIGHS.I think a breakout from this region is closer than people think.
Break of structure to the upside on the daily already occured . Order block is holding nice . A fvg has formed and a retest could occur , around 103.4k- 104.5k.
Overall the chart is bullish.
Next week we might see new All Time Highs.
Bitcoin Structurally Momentum Bullish – On-Chain Confirmed.⊢
⟁ BTC/USD – BINANCE – (CHART: 4H) – (June 27, 2025).
⟐ Analysis Price: $106,840.15.
⊢
⨀ I. Temporal Axis – Strategic Interval – (4H):
▦ EMA(9) – ($107,126.95):
∴ Current price is slightly below the EMA(9), indicating the beginning of intraday buyer fatigue;
∴ EMA(9) still curves upward, sustaining the recent bullish momentum, but showing signs of deceleration.
✴️ Conclusion: Short-term strength is weakening; potential micro-shift in sentiment underway.
⊢
▦ EMA(21) – ($106,574.03):
∴ EMA(21) acts as immediate dynamic support, now closely tested;
∴ Still sloping upward, suggesting buyers are attempting to defend the structure.
✴️ Conclusion: Tactical support remains intact - this is the battlefield line.
⊢
▦ EMA(50) – ($105,651.25):
∴ Mid-range structure confirms trend stability as price remains well above the EMA(50);
∴ EMA(50) direction remains mildly bullish, reinforcing medium-term control by buyers.
✴️ Conclusion: Medium trend unshaken; pullbacks remain controlled within bullish context.
⊢
▦ EMA(200) – ($104,890.51):
∴ Long-term baseline remains untouched, with price notably above;
∴ The slope of EMA(200) is stable and slightly positive.
✴️ Conclusion: Structural bullish foundation remains intact. No long-term threat detected.
⊢
▦ Ichimoku Cloud (9/26/52/26):
∴ Price remains above the Kumo cloud; Tenkan and Kijun are aligned in bullish formation, though beginning to flatten;
∴ Chikou Span remains free and clear above historical price — no conflict.
✴️ Conclusion: Structure is still bullish, but compression in the cloud signals potential pause in directional conviction.
⊢
▦ Volume (BTC) + MA(21):
∴ Volume sits below its 21-period moving average, indicating waning buyer participation;
∴ No breakout or capitulation candle - sentiment is reserved.
✴️ Conclusion: Lack of conviction - volume confirms indecision and pause in impulse.
⊢
▦ RSI + EMA9 – (RSI: 54.78 / EMA9: 59.70):
∴ RSI curves downward from the upper-neutral zone - momentum is retreating;
∴ RSI has crossed below its EMA(9), which typically signals fading bullish strength.
✴️ Conclusion: Momentum has weakened - buyers are hesitating.
⊢
▦ Stoch RSI – (K: 9.72 / D: 10.22):
∴ Oscillator is deep in the oversold region, preparing a bullish cross;
∴ No confirmation of reversal yet - early signal.
✴️ Conclusion: Setup for potential rebound exists, but signal remains unconfirmed.
⊢
▦ MACD – (MACD: 725.17 / Signal: 883.72 / Histogram: –158.55):
∴ MACD histogram turns increasingly negative, suggesting decay in momentum;
∴ Though MACD line remains above signal, curvature favors a bearish crossover soon.
✴️ Conclusion: Momentum fading; risk of technical crossover if weakness persists.
⊢
▦ OBV – (71.13M):
∴ OBV is flat and shows no divergence, suggesting balanced pressure;
∴ Movement remains parallel to EMA21, confirming neutrality.
✴️ Conclusion: Volume flow is not supporting a continuation; neutral.
⊢
🜎 Strategic Insight – Technical Oracle:
∴The structure remains bullish at the macro and medium levels;
∴ As evidenced by EMA alignment and Ichimoku posture. However, momentum signals are fading, and the current 4H candle lacks conviction;
∴ A breakout requires stronger volume and RSI reacceleration - until then, the tactical stance is suspended.
⊢
∫ II. On-Chain Intelligence – (CryptoQuant):
▦ 1. Exchange Netflow Total – (All Exchanges):
∴ Current readings show net outflows dominating, indicating coins moving out of exchanges - typically interpreted as holding behavior and bullish bias;
∴ No recent spike in inflows that would suggest imminent selling pressure or dump risk.
✴️ Conclusion: Exchange behavior is structurally bullish - environment favors accumulation.
⊢
▦ 2. Exchange Stablecoins Ratio – (All Exchanges):
∴ The ratio remains low and stable, meaning high stablecoin reserves vs. Bitcoin on exchanges - suggesting potential buying power in standby;
∴ No spike in the ratio - no immediate conversion from stablecoins into Bitcoin.
✴️ Conclusion: Stablecoins on standby confirm latent demand - supportive for bullish continuity if triggered.
⊢
▦ 3. Funding Rates – (All Exchanges):
∴ Funding is positive but mild, indicating long interest, yet not overheated;
∴ No excessive leverage detected - absence of speculative imbalance.
✴️ Conclusion: Derivatives market supports a healthy uptrend with no signs of crowd euphoria.
⊢
▦ 4. Estimated Leverage Ratio – (All Exchanges):
∴ Leverage ratio remains within neutral bounds, not expanding aggressively;
∴ Suggests market is currently not dominated by overleveraged positions.
✴️ Conclusion: The structure is stable - no systemic risk from forced liquidations.
⊢
▦ 5. Taker Buy/Sell Ratio – (All Exchanges):
∴ The ratio is slightly above 1.0 - meaning more aggressive buying than selling, but without dominance;
∴ Reinforces sentiment of cautious buying, not yet euphoric.
✴️ Conclusion: Taker flow confirms moderate bullish sentiment, no reversal pressure.
⊢
🜎 Strategic Insight – On-Chain Oracle:
∴ On-chain metrics align with structural bullishness;
∴ Netflows, leverage, and taker activity all support continuation;
∴ Importantly, stablecoin ratios signal dry powder remains available, meaning the market holds the potential energy for further upside - if volume and technical confirmation align.
⊢
⧈ Codicillus Silentii Strategic Note:
∴ In the discipline of silence, one waits as price tests its dynamic zone. The wise act after structure, not inside uncertainty;
∴ The chain speaks in whispers. Smart liquidity waits. The structure is armed - but momentum requires ignition. Not fear, not hope - signal.
⊢
𓂀 Stoic-Structural Interpretation:
∴ Structurally Bullish - (Tactically Suspended);
∴ The core architecture remains intact, but the absence of volume and declining oscillators justify a suspended stance for entry;
∴ On-chain and chart-based structures are aligned in bullish posture, but technical indicators remain in a suspended tactical phase. Awaiting breakout or deeper pullback for positioning.
⊢
▦ Tactical Range Caution:
∴ Watch $106,574 (EMA21) and $105,651 (EMA50) for reactive buying;
∴ Below $104,890 (EMA200) - structure weakens;
∴ Upside breakout requires volume reclaim above $107,330;
∴ Resistance: $107,330 / $108,200.

Cautionary tale on BitcoinI decided to temporarily depart from my usual trade ideas to wave a cautionary finger at the chart of Bitcoin, where I have noticed a rather worrying pattern within the weekly charts. However, before I delve in, I would like to stress that I am a very rigid believer in the long-term prospect of our monetary saviour and what I am supposed to write about only concerns the usual, inevitable cyclicality that always entails the otherwise upward-sloping trajectory of Bitcoin ( CRYPTO:BTCUSD )
Although overall this has not felt like much of a crypto bull run given the apparently absent performance of altcoins (apart from an occasional 1000x on a well-targeted memecoin), Bitcoin has, in the meantime, trod its usual path upwards. Since the '22 lows, it has mimicked its regular pattern where after a devastating plummet lower, it has spent several long months accumulating until it has burst out of its cocoon to provide a 6x return to its strong believer. However, the mimicking is almost too good as we have now started painting a very similar picture to what eventually transpired to be the '21 top. We have reached a strong above >100k top only to hit a vicious correction (announcement of tariffs), similar to what Bitcoin did in May of 2021 (China crackdown, tech selloff). The price then quickly consolidated - which I am not an avid fan of as a formation of a more robust base would be more preferable (though would take longer ) - and bitcoin shot back up again, quickly reclaiming the previous highs; just like it did in October/November 2021. This creates an unfortunate setup best represented by the series of lower highs on an RS I while the price keep climbing higher - creating the probably best-know bearish signal with higher highs built on weaker and less robust momentum.
We know how this ended in 2021, and I am not suggesting that Microstrategy should blow up, go bankrupt and sell all its bitcoin (though definitely a possibility) - however, one must admit that there are currently quite a lot of uncertainties that could unwind at any time (one such coming on July 8th with the second version of the lets-blow-up-the-stock-market day). With a stock market priced to perfection, and with what seems like a large pile of uncertainties hovering in the air, it seems like any one of these could light up the fire underneath these lovely valuations we have reached, and although I would love for cryptocurrency prices to be completely independent of the stock market, we usually know how this goes.
So, what to do about this? Preferably nothing . If you are as much of a believer as I am in the necessity of bitcoin in today's financial world, this is just another blip in an otherwise long and profitable ride. So, I won't be any selling any of it - hopefully only adding once we decline. I would also add that I am not expecting as much of a bloodbath as last time. I think Bitcoin has reached a point where the 80-90% declines become very rare. However, regarding my other allocations in crypto assets, I am not as optimistic, hence I decided to sell most of everything else. Although I love the premise of Ethereum, the chart looks pretty horrific, currently drawing a perfect head-and-shoulder on a 4h chart (which I might write about as well as a short idea).
I will end this essay the same way I started it - I know absolutely nothing, and maybe I will come back at the end of the summer, beautifully tanned and relaxed as we all are in Europe, and find everything at all-time highs. I just currently believe the risk-reward ratio is not skewed in my favour, and I don't know how about you, but I tend to listen to my probability gods, especially on the eve of another strong SPAC year .
CADCHF at the Cliff's Edge – Is a Breakdown Imminent? 🧭 Technical Context
Price is currently sitting at the key support area of 0.5890–0.5900, tested multiple times since April.
This week’s candlestick shows a clear close below the intermediate micro-structure (two consecutive closes under recent lows), confirming bearish pressure.
The weekly RSI remains in a neutral-to-low zone, trending downwards with no active bullish divergence.
📉 Technical Conclusion: Active bearish bias. Watch out for potential false breaks below 0.5890 as liquidity traps.
📊 COT Report – as of June 17, 2025
🇨🇦 CAD
Non-Commercials: added +8.5k long contracts, aggressively cut −18.3k shorts
→ Excessive optimism, potential exhaustion on the buy-side
Commercials: added +31k shorts
→ Typical hedge behavior – signaling protection from CAD devaluation
🇨🇭CHF
Net positions in gradual decline with no sharp moves → CHF remains in consolidation, with a defensive tone
Open Interest dropped by −19.5k → Institutional money exiting positions
→ Interpretation: Market likely preparing for a directional breakout, CHF could act as a safe haven
📉 COT Conclusion: CAD appears overbought, CHF still gathering strength. Bearish bias on CADCHF remains intact.
📅 Seasonality – June Pattern
CHF tends to strengthen in June:
+0.0095 (10Y average), +0.0068 (5Y average)
CAD shows structural weakness in June:
−0.0027 (10Y), −0.0076 (5Y)
📉 Seasonality Conclusion: June favors CAD weakness and CHF strength → Bearish confirmation for CADCHF
🧠 Retail Sentiment
92% of retail traders are long CADCHF, only 8% are short
→ Extreme imbalance = classic contrarian signal
📉 Sentiment Conclusion: Confirms potential for continued downside on CADCHF
✅ Trade Plan Summary
📌 Base scenario:
Short CADCHF if we get a daily/weekly close below 0.5890
🎯 Target 1: 0.5820
🎯 Target 2: 0.5770
🚫 Invalidation: daily close above 0.5960 (invalidates current setup)
📌 Alternative scenario:
Short from 0.5960–0.6000 if we get a bearish rejection pattern → ideal for better R/R
Watching for Pullback Below $84 in Citigroup (C)Over the past month, Citigroup shares have appreciated 8.58%, outperforming both the Finance sector's 1.91% gain and the S&P 500's 3.92% increase. This relative outperformance may signal strength, but short-term positioning and market structure suggest a potential shift.
Expecting a Sharp Move Below $84 – Option Flow Insight
Despite the recent strength, I anticipate a significant downward move below the $84 level in the upcoming week. This expectation is based on notable option activity detected in the Times & Sales feed, specifically large put orders suggesting bearish positioning.
In response to this setup, I plan to execute a bearish vertical spread, specifically:
Buying the $84 puts
Selling the $80 puts
This strategy limits downside risk while still profiting from a potential retracement.
Fundamental Picture Ahead of Earnings
Citigroup's next earnings release is scheduled for July 15, 2025. The company is expected to report:
EPS of $1.70 (+11.84% YoY)
Revenue of $20.85B (+3.51% YoY)
For the full year, the Zacks Consensus Estimate forecasts:
EPS of $7.38 (+24.03%)
Revenue of $83.84B (+3.33%)
While these figures suggest healthy growth, it's important to note that recent analyst estimate revisions have been modestly negative, with the EPS estimate decreasing 0.27% over the last 30 days. Citigroup currently holds a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), reflecting a neutral sentiment from analysts.
Valuation Metrics
From a valuation standpoint:
Forward P/E: 10.75, notably below the industry average of 15.02
PEG ratio: 0.61, versus the industry average of 1.26
This indicates that Citigroup is undervalued relative to its peers, especially when considering growth prospects, which could provide some support. However, short-term bearish flows may dominate price action heading into earnings.
Industry Outlook
The Financial - Investment Bank industry, which includes Citigroup, currently has a Zacks Industry Rank of 96, placing it in the top 40% of over 250 industry groups. Historically, industries in the top half outperform those in the bottom half by a factor of 2 to 1.
REAX breaking outREAX is a real estage brokerage company that has been in this bullish decending wedge for about a year now. It just broke out yesterday and had a push higher today, confirming the breakout. A measured move of the bull flag puts price targets on this stock around $10 a share, roughly double its current share price. It also sports a Zack's #1 buy rank and is expected to report positive earnings for the first time in company history, when it reports Q2 earnings on August 6th. If this indeed happens, the stock will push much higher, get in early before that happens.
It’s the right time to make a golden layout!Gold opened at 3328 today and started the downward mode. After the European session, it continued to fall and broke the new low. The negative opening data of the US session also continued the downward mode. So far, it has reached the lowest point of 3255 and rebounded, but the strength is not very strong. After all, the upper pressure is still very strong. In the short term, we pay attention to the previous low point of 3295-3300, and focus on the upper 3305-3311. Today, the short-term operation of gold is mainly short-selling on rebounds, and long-selling on callbacks is supplemented.
From the 4-hour analysis, the upper short-term resistance is around 3295-3300, with focus on the important suppression at 3305-3311. The rebound will continue to be mainly short and look to fall back. The lower short-term support is around 3255-3245. Relying on this range as a whole, the main tone of high-altitude and low-multiple participation remains unchanged.
Gold operation strategy:
1. Short-selling in batches near the rebound of gold near 3295-3310, with a target of 3380-3370.
2. When gold falls back to around 3345-3455, go long in batches, with the target at 3370-3380.

The data is negative. Will the price rebound from the bottom?Gold prices have continued to fall since the high near 3450. This trading day started the downward mode near 3328, and the European session continued to fall, breaking a new low. The negative PCE data also continued the downward mode. So far, it has rebounded after hitting the lowest level near 3255. However, the rebound is small, and the upper pressure is still very strong.
From the 4-hour chart, short-term resistance focuses on the vicinity of 3295-3300, followed by important pressure near 3315. The short-term support below focuses on the vicinity of 3265-3270. The overall strategy of shorting at high positions remains unchanged based on this range.
Operation strategy:
Short at the price rebound near 3295, short covering at the high point of 3315, stop loss 3325, profit range 3370-3360.
At present, the price fluctuates greatly. If you want to try scalping transactions, you can trade with a light position and float up and down 5 points to stop loss or profit in time.
This is the last trading day of this week. I hope you all will gain something and have a happy weekend with your family.
Bullish strategy around 3270 in US trading
Gold prices (XAU/USD) once again came under selling pressure during the Asian session on Friday, falling back below $3,300 following a lackluster performance the day before. Gold prices are approaching a two-week low hit on Tuesday as investors await the release of the US personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index. This key inflation indicator is expected to provide a new interpretation of the Fed's policy outlook and could significantly affect the direction of the US dollar (USD), ultimately determining the short-term direction of this non-yielding gold.
Selling pressure last weekend caused gold prices to fall below 3300, and today the selling pressure continued to fall
