XAUUSD - Breakdown: Israel-Iran Conflict - RISK OFF Part III missed to Publish my Idea here, I frequently share charts on my X handle for those who would like to follow, @JOHNDOUGHFX OK let get into it.. I will publish my entire Idea as I did from the start of the sells, it has been quiet accurate but with terrible choppy PA. FOMC likely a no move event. Rates to stay high due to tariff risks, Gold has been sentiment driven from last week-so Risk ON/OFF dominates. Israel-Iran talks ongoing → expect noise + fake escalations before a “Deal" Gold Order Flow zones at 3409 / 3450 Israel–Iran conflict = main wildcard. Expect sudden headline moves: escalation threats → quick spikes. But watch for fake outs followed by a “deal” headlines. That’s your Risk ON trigger. Buy the rumor, sell the news. Key levels for OANDA:XAUUSD : ⚠️ Liquidity trap zone: 3409–3415 ⚠️ Double top watch: 3448–3450 (psy level) Below 3400, we could fade toward: 🔻 3350 🔻 3330 🔻 3322 Plan both sides, don’t chase breakouts. For today's Analysis, Yesterday we have closed a bullish Doji Candle, signaling buyers, even though we broke below today, there was no selling pressure breaking the previous Daily low, and it has reacted close to As we have tapped the 39 Area, and pulled back, 43-45 if defended, will see price push higher into the high 65-70-75 extended Price Points before we can look for sells again. As Iran - US tensions are now extended for 2 weeks, I believe the typical news escalations will keep price action on the edge, at present the market is sentiment driven with Risk OFF, so plan your trades accordingly. Risk ON can come with any optimistic news, especially a "DEAL" Cheers and have a good last trading day!!

Dollar Index DXY AnalysisSince the start of 2025, the US Dollar index DXY has faced a downside pressure driven by several key factors: * Ongoing uncertainty around the US President trade tensions with major economies. * Global Central banks reducing dollar exposure and reallocation toward other currencies and Gold. * Growing market expectations for Fed rate cuts starting Sept-25. * Raising concerns regarding US Debt levels, amplified recently by the "Big Beautiful Bill" * Renewed clashes between Trump & Powell, raising concerns regarding the Feds credibility. With all the factors above affecting DXY negatively, we have key major areas to keep our eye on: * Breaking below the 96.5 we could visit the 95.5, and with additional sellers' momentum we could see the next level of 93.5 * On the other hand, if we have economic data supporting dollar strength. Breaking above 97.7 our next target could be 98.5, and with additional buyers' momentum we could revisit the 100-level flat.

GOLD MARKET ANALYSIS AND COMMENTARY - [Jun 30 - Jul 04]Last week, OANDA:XAUUSD fell sharply from an opening price of $3,392/oz to a low of $3,255/oz and closed at $3,274/oz. The reason was that Israel and Iran had officially ceased fire, although negotiations with the US remained difficult. In addition, FED Chairman Jerome Powell reaffirmed that there was no rush to cut interest rates due to high inflation risks. In addition, summer is a period of weak demand for physical gold, continuing to put pressure on gold prices. In addition, summer is typically the low season for physical gold demand, which could continue to weigh on gold prices. In addition to the seasonal lull in trading that has affected the gold market, improving economic sentiment as the Trump administration has said there is progress in trade agreements, especially the framework agreement on trade with China, will also continue to negatively impact gold prices next week. Thus, gold prices next week may continue to be under downward pressure, but the decline may not be too large as gold prices next week are still supported by some fundamental factors. This week, the US will release the non-farm payrolls (NFP) report and the unemployment rate for June. According to forecasts, NFP may reach 120,000 jobs. If NFP increases higher than expected, the FED will continue to delay cutting interest rates, negatively affecting gold prices next week. On the contrary, if NFP drops sharply below 100,000 jobs, it will increase the possibility of the FED cutting interest rates, helping gold prices rise again next week, but not too strongly. 📌Technically, the gold price closed below $3,300/oz this week, which could pave the way for a drop to $3,200/oz next week, or below that to $3,120/oz. If the gold price rebounds above $3,300/oz next week, it could trigger a recovery to $3,330-$3,360/oz. Notable technical levels are listed below. Support: 3,246 – 3,228USD Resistance: 3,292 – 3,300USD SELL XAUUSD PRICE 3367 - 3365⚡️ ↠↠ Stop Loss 3371 BUY XAUUSD PRICE 3178 - 3180⚡️ ↠↠ Stop Loss 3174

EUR/USD – Weak Expectations, Neutral German CPI📉 EUR/USD – Weak Expectations, Neutral German CPI, and Bearish Momentum Ahead Bias: Short / Sell Setup EUR/USD recently surged toward the 1.0750 zone sooner than expected, driven more by market optimism and speculative flows than solid fundamentals. Now, that optimism is starting to fade as data fails to back it up. Meanwhile, the potential U.S. tax reform proposal (Trump) and signs of renewed trade negotiations are helping shift sentiment back toward the U.S. dollar in the coming 10 days. --- 🇩🇪 German CPI – Neutral Print, But Bearish Implications Today's regional inflation figures across German states were mixed: States like Saxony and Baden-Württemberg showed slightly rising prices Others like Bavaria and North Rhine-Westphalia showed declining YoY inflation Final national CPI due later today is unlikely to beat expectations meaningfully 🎯 Summary: A Neutral CPI Print No upside surprise → No support for EUR No major downside → No panic either --- 🧠 Why "Neutral" Data Can Still Be Bearish for EUR The market was hoping for a strong CPI to signal that ECB may pause rate cuts Neutral inflation = ECB may still lean dovish EUR rose on hope — but data offered no confirmation In financial markets, failed expectations often trigger stronger corrections than bad news. --- 🔍 Technical Overview: Price approaching strong supply zone near 1.0740 – 1.0760 RSI showing divergence on lower timeframes (H1) Structure on M15 suggests potential for lower highs Price stalling under resistance, with no bullish momentum follow-through --- 🎯 Trade Plan: Bias: Short Entry Zone: 1.0730 – 1.0755 Stop Loss: Above 1.0775 Take Profit 1: 1.0630 Take Profit 2: 1.0600 Trigger: Break of M15 bearish structure or supply reaction --- 📌 Markets punish over-optimism more than fear. EUR/USD may correct lower as hopes of a strong CPI fade and macro flows tilt toward the USD.

NZDJPY Technical + Fundamental Short Alignment = Short SetupToday, I want to review the NZDJPY ( OANDA:NZDJPY ) pair short position from a fundamental and technical perspective . It seems to be in a good zone for a short position. Do you agree with me? ---------------------------------------- First, let's look at the fundamentals of NZDJPY. New Zealand (RBNZ): The Reserve Bank of New Zealand cut the OCR by 25bps in May and hinted at further easing if inflation continues to cool. Recent CPI data has shown clear disinflation trends, increasing the likelihood of more rate cuts in the second half of 2025. Consumer confidence is also declining, and retail sales have been weaker than expected. Japan (BoJ): The Bank of Japan is under growing pressure to tighten monetary policy. Inflation remains above 2%, and market expectations for a rate hike later this year are building. Any shift from ultra-loose policy supports JPY strength, especially against weaker yielders like NZD. Macro Summary: Diverging monetary policies: RBNZ easing, BoJ possibly tightening. NZD weakened by soft data, JPY strengthened by policy expectations. Risk sentiment is currently neutral-to-negative, favoring safe-haven JPY. Conclusion: Short NZDJPY is fundamentally justified. The pair aligns with macro forces: NZD is pressured by rate cuts and weak growth, while JPY is poised to strengthen with upcoming policy shifts. ---------------------------------------- Now let's take a look at the NZDJPY chart on the 4-hour time frame . NZDJPY is currently trading near the Potential Reversal Zone(PRZ) . In terms of classic technical analysis , it appears that NZDJPY has successfully formed a Rising Wedge Pattern . Also, we can see the Regular Divergence(RD-) between Consecutive Peaks. Based on the above explanation , I expect NZDJPY to drop to at least 87.159 JPY if the lower line of the Rising Wedge Pattern and the Support zone(86.50 JPY-87.00 JPY) are broken, the second target could be 86.043 JPY . Note: Stop Loss(SL): 88.378 JPY Please respect each other's ideas and express them politely if you agree or disagree. New Zealand Dollar/ Japanese Yen Analyze (NZDJPY), 4-hour time frame. Be sure to follow the updated ideas. Do not forget to put a Stop loss for your positions (For every position you want to open). Please follow your strategy and updates; this is just my Idea, and I will gladly see your ideas in this post. Please do not forget the ✅' like '✅ button 🙏😊 & Share it with your friends; thanks, and Trade safe.

Looking for 2 scenarios to play outRight now we are a little extended on this move to some higher levels of liquidity. There was a big move that took place on the 29th that left a major imbalance from 44,301 - 44,264. I'm looking two things to happen. 1) Ill wait for a pullback into a 5M FVG in the 44,362 area for some Shorts. 2) I wait us to drop into the 1H FVG which is that major imbalance i spoke of then ill watch to see if price action and volume confirm a bounce or we break thru and continue lower.

Bitcoin Mid Term Game Plan - BTC PLANBitcoin just broke a key resistance level with strength. I expect a new all-time high soon, likely the summer top. Summer markets are usually weak for risk assets and strong for gold. Seasonality matters, keep that in mind. I expect risk markets to sell off until mid-July to early August. I’ll start buying once we break structure again. The plan: Wait for BTC to hit $110K Look for a reversal from that level Start aggressively shorting alts, beginning with ETH and memecoins Hold shorts until late July / early August Close positions and shift back to buying

XAUUSD - Breakdown: Israel-Iran Conflict - RISK OFF Part III 🚨 Trump announces a ceasefire This likely kills any chance for TVC:GOLD to retest higher sell zones. No more upside, just continuation plays for the bears, watch for momentum to pick up on the downside. More market optimism means RISK ON - Gold Bearish , DXY Bounce, Stocks Rally. Watching the markets today, It was like it wants optimism but the drama with escalations and uncertainty kept it where it was all day, I usually avoid Mondays, but now that this has been announced, we will see Market Optimistic and sentiment drive Gold Lower if there are no further escalations than what has already happened, which simply means the US or Iran would have to do more severe damage beyond what has already happened. We will be back to Fundamentals driving Gold if there is no other major event! #XAUUSD #Gold #Ceasefire #RiskOn #TradingView #MarketUpdate #Commodities

S&P 500 Sets New All-Time High, Surges Above 6200S&P 500 Sets New All-Time High, Surges Above 6200 The S&P 500 index (US SPX 500 mini on FXOpen) started the week by reaching a fresh all-time high. As shown on the chart, the index hit 6,210 points earlier this morning. In addition to a reduced risk of US involvement in a large-scale war in the Middle East, market optimism has been fuelled by: → Tariff-related news. Last week, the US President announced the signing of a trade deal with China, while Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent expressed hope that the US would conclude trade negotiations with over a dozen countries by early September. → Strong corporate performance. On Friday, Nike (NKE) shares led the stock market, rising by more than 15% following an earnings report that exceeded analysts’ expectations. This could be boosting investor sentiment ahead of the upcoming earnings season. Technical Analysis of the S&P 500 Chart Evaluating the 4-hour chart of the S&P 500 index (US SPX 500 mini on FXOpen) in the context of June’s price movements reveals key reference points (marked on the chart) that outline an ascending channel. A consolidation zone, marked with an arrow, highlights a temporary equilibrium between supply and demand—after which buyers gained the upper hand, pushing the price upward. It is possible that the ongoing bullish momentum could carry the price toward the upper boundary of the channel. However, attention should be paid to the RSI indicator, which suggests the market is heavily overbought; in fact, Friday’s reading marked the highest level of the year. In such conditions, a price correction cannot be ruled out—potentially back toward the local ascending trendline (shown in orange).

Gold Is Set to Bottom Out and Rebound This WeekGood morning, everyone! At today’s open, gold once again dipped into the 3258–3248 buy zone, then rebounded toward 3270. From a structural perspective, gold has clearly entered a downward trend, but this decline is unlikely to be one-directional—short-term rebounds and consolidations are expected along the way. Based on my experience, below 3250 remains a favorable area for initiating long positions. Whether the price rebounds directly or continues lower before building a stronger base to challenge 3300 again, the broader outlook remains bullish as long as the 3200 support holds. A bottoming reversal this week is still the more probable scenario. As such, the focus early this week should be on buying near the lows, with short opportunities on rebounds as a secondary strategy. Monitor key support levels for signs of strength. This week is also packed with important data—including PMI, Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP), and the unemployment rate, in addition to regular economic releases. Given the current macroeconomic backdrop, significant market volatility is expected—bringing both risk and opportunity. Manage your exposure carefully and stay adaptable.

Catalonia Drives Away Residential Real Estate CapitalBy Ion Jauregui – Analyst at ActivTrades Rental market regulations in Catalonia are triggering a real capital flight among major international funds. Following Patrizia’s moves, Blackstone and Azora have also begun divesting from the region’s rental housing market, prioritizing unit-by-unit property sales amid growing legal uncertainty. From Investors to Sellers Blackstone (NYSE: BX) has started informing tenants that lease agreements will not be renewed upon expiration, choosing instead to gradually sell off its properties. This strategy, executed through subsidiaries such as Testa and Fidere, is a response to the negative effects of government intervention: rental price caps, increased tax burdens, and a widespread sense of regulatory unpredictability. German firm Patrizia (XETRA: PTZ) had already initiated the individual sale of over 540 apartments in the Barcelona metro area, coordinated by JLL. Azora, meanwhile, has taken a similar path, offloading part of its residential portfolio through direct sales to individuals. Regulatory Blow to Real Estate: Supply Drops, Prices Surge According to data from the Rental Observatory, the Housing Law and other regional measures have led to a 16% reduction in supply in just two years—more than 120,000 units disappearing from the market. At the same time, demand has surged 202%, pushing the number of rental applications per unit from 37 to 112 in just ten days and driving average rent prices up from €906 to €1,146 per month. This imbalance affects not only institutional funds but also the 95% of the market held by private landlords, many of whom are now shifting their properties to vacation rentals, direct sales, or simply keeping them vacant. Fundamentals: Profitability, Dividends, and Outlook Blackstone (BX), with a market cap of over $160 billion, is the world’s largest alternative asset manager, overseeing more than $1 trillion in AUM. Its annualized dividend exceeds 3.3%, supported by a strong structure of performance and management fees. The current P/E ratio is around 46x, pricing in future earnings growth as real estate operations and deal flow resume. In contrast, Patrizia SE, managing around €56.4 billion in AUM, trades at more conservative multiples: a P/B ratio of 0.67x and a dividend yield close to 4%. While its revenues fell 15% in 2024, the company managed to grow EBITDA and maintain a rising dividend policy—a notable achievement amid Europe’s real estate slowdown. Both companies are transitioning toward infrastructure, digitalization, and ESG solutions, diversifying away from traditional real estate exposure. Technical Analysis: What Do the Charts Say? Blackstone (BX) is currently trading near $152, having rebounded from May lows (~$115). The stock displays a sideways-upward structure, with key support at $133.25 and resistance around $157.95. The current range sits between $133.25 and $152. RSI is in overbought territory at 68.17%, with a positive bias if volume breaks above the current resistance. The point of control is around the consolidation zone at $140.49. The 50-day moving average has crossed above the 100-day average; the 200-day cross is still pending to confirm a sustained uptrend. Patrizia SE (PAT.DE) is trading around €8.26 in early hours, rebounding technically from yearly lows around €6.15. Its current range fluctuates between €6.85 and the €9.20 highs. It recently broke short-term resistance at €7.80, now a key support. RSI shows slight overbought at 54.23%. The point of control lies near €7.82, and the moving averages are forming a bullish golden cross, suggesting short-term consolidation before a potential push toward €9.20 or even €9.40. Which Is the Stronger Bet for 2025? Blackstone, with global exposure, financial strength, and the ability to capture structural trends (AI, infrastructure, tech REITs), represents a more aggressive sector outlook. Patrizia, on the other hand, offers a more defensive, Europe-focused opportunity—ideal for investors seeking stable yield and real assets with minimal leverage. Both are valid plays, but investor risk profile is key: BX moves with the market cycle, while PAT may offer shelter amid volatility. Madrid, Valencia, and Málaga Step In As Catalonia loses its appeal for residential investment, Madrid has emerged as the new capital magnet, quadrupling Barcelona’s investment levels since 2023. Valencia and Málaga are also gaining ground on institutional radar, offering more stable legal environments for portfolio development. Rental regulation in Catalonia has further strained an already fragile market. With major funds like Blackstone, Azora, and Patrizia pulling out—and pressure mounting on supply—the Catalan model faces a critical crossroads between tenant protection and investment sustainability. ******************************************************************************************* The information provided does not constitute investment research.

Gold fluctuates upward. Is the decline over?On Monday, gold opened at around 3282, and then fell back quickly to around 3247 under pressure; the downward low was blocked, and then rebounded strongly to around 3297; the market currently maintains a small upward trend. At present, we need to focus on the resistance range of the upward trend. From the 4-hour chart, the upper short-term resistance is around 3295-3300, followed by the suppression range of 3310-3315. The main direction of short-term operations maintains the rebound short-selling strategy. The support below is around 3255; the overall short-term operation relies on 3260-3300 to maintain the main tone of high-altitude participation unchanged. Operation strategy: Short near 3305, stop loss 3320, profit range 3270-3260. A new week has just begun. I wish you all gain something from the market fluctuations.

Is Mexico's Peso at the Crossroads?The recent imposition of U.S. sanctions on three Mexican financial institutions - CIBanco, Intercam Banco, and Vector Casa de Bolsa - has ignited a crucial debate over the Mexican peso's stability and the intricate dynamics of U.S.-Mexico relations. Washington accuses these entities of laundering millions for drug cartels and facilitating fentanyl precursor payments, marking the first actions under new anti-fentanyl legislation. While these institutions collectively hold a relatively small portion of Mexico's total banking assets (less than 3%), the move carries significant symbolic weight and prompts a re-evaluation of the peso's outlook. The Mexican government, under President Claudia Sheinbaum, swiftly rejected the allegations, demanding concrete evidence and initiating its investigations, including the temporary regulatory intervention of CIBanco and Intercam to safeguard depositors. Economically, the peso faces a nuanced landscape. Before the sanctions, the Mexican peso (MXN) demonstrated remarkable resilience, appreciating significantly against the dollar, bolstered by Mexico's comparatively higher interest rates and robust trade flows with the U.S. However, the recent divergence in monetary policy, with **Banxico** easing rates while the U.S. Federal Reserve maintains a hawkish stance, now presents a potential headwind for the peso. While analysts generally suggest limited systemic risk to Mexico's broader financial system from these targeted sanctions, the action introduces an element of uncertainty. It raises concerns about potential capital flight, increased compliance costs for other Mexican financial institutions, and a possible erosion of investor confidence, factors that could exert downward pressure on the peso. Geopolitically, these sanctions underscore the escalating U.S. campaign against fentanyl trafficking, now intricately linked with broader trade and security tensions. President Donald Trump's past threats of punitive tariffs on Mexican imports - aimed at curbing drug flows - highlight the volatile nature of this bilateral relationship. The sanctions serve as a potent political message from Washington, signaling its resolve to combat the fentanyl crisis on all fronts, including financial pipelines. This diplomatic friction, coupled with the ongoing complexities of migration and security cooperation, creates a challenging backdrop for the USD/MXN exchange rate. While the U.S. and Mexico maintain a strong intergovernmental relationship, these pressures test the limits of their collaboration and could influence the peso's trajectory in the medium term.
