GOLD → Testing Key Resistance with Potential to Reach 2726-2790OANDA:XAUUSD currently testing an important resistance level from which we can expect the price to continue rising to key levels such as 2726-2790. Technically, gold has entered the buying zone and the fundamental context supports it.
Gold is supported by weak US inflation data, moderate Fed expectations, hopes for Chinese stimulus measures, and fading concerns about President-elect Trump's disruptive trade tariffs which have supported the risk-on sentiment prevailing in markets, causing the US dollar to decline sharply.
Focus shifts to other economic data releases from the US, including December Retail Sales and Weekly Unemployment Claims, which will provide more clarity on the Fed's interest rate trajectory after January. Markets have fully priced in a rate pause at the Fed's policy meeting later this month. Gold prices will also remain dependent on any speculation surrounding Trump's tariff plans.
Technically, all eyes are now on the resistance zone at 2697-2700. If gold can consolidate above this area, buyers will quickly enter the medium and long-term playing field. But don't forget about the upcoming news releases.
Best regards, Bentradegold!
Gold
Supported by data, GOLD skyrocketed with room to increaseDue to weaker-than-expected US core inflation data, the US Dollar TVC:DXY weakened and the market also rekindled expectations that the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts may not be over yet, gold prices increased sharply. Technical factors also continue the upward price structure.
US inflation is lower than expected
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported on Wednesday that the U.S. consumer price index (CPI) rose 0.4% month-over-month in December, slightly above the 0.3% forecast. of economists. The overall CPI inflation rate increased by 2.9% over the same period last year, in line with expectations.
Core CPI inflation, which excludes food and energy, rose 3.2% year-on-year, slower than November data and below economists' median estimate of 3.3%. economic survey by Dow Jones.
Gold prices were supported and jumped by weaker-than-expected US core inflation data, causing US Treasury yields to fall sharply.
Core CPI was slightly lower than expected. This is a positive signal for gold because the corollary is that the Fed will not necessarily rule out cutting interest rates, although the possibility of cutting interest rates in January is not high, but some rate cuts Capacity is still expected before the end of the year.
Gold is considered a hedge against inflation, but because it earns no interest, its appeal to investors diminishes in higher interest rate environments and vice versa in low interest rate environments.
Focus on key US economic data
Today (Thursday), financial markets focus on US retail sales, data on initial jobless claims and speeches from Federal Reserve officials.
Economists expect U.S. retail sales to rise 0.6% month-over-month in December, down from 0.7% in November. Initial jobless claims are expected to rise from 201,000 to 210,000 in the week ending January 11.

Today analysis for Nasdaq, Oil, and GoldNASDAQ
NASDAQ closed lower, facing resistance near the 20-day moving average. It struggled at the midpoint of the long bearish candle formed on January 7 (21570), which coincides with the upper trendline resistance originating from the December 16, 2023 high (22450). The market's direction—whether it breaks above the upper trendline resistance around 21500 or reverts to the center of the downtrend—remains to be seen.
On the weekly chart, a sell signal has been triggered. On the daily chart, the significant gap between the MACD and signal line suggests a higher likelihood of continued downside. However, after consolidating around the center of Wednesday's large bullish candle, the market may trade sideways for a few days before determining its next direction.
On the 240-minute chart, both the MACD and signal line are above the zero line. After consolidating in a box range, the market may see a bullish third wave supported by the MACD holding above the signal line. Alternatively, a dead cross could form, signaling a shift to bearish momentum. For today, a range-bound strategy focusing on selling at highs and buying at lows is appropriate. Note that Fridays can often bring choppy price action.
CRUDE OIL
Crude oil closed lower after facing resistance at the upper monthly boundary. On the daily chart, the significant gap between the price and moving averages increases the risk of pursuing long positions at higher levels. If oil breaks below the 5-day moving average, the 10-day moving average or the $74–$75 range could act as support. A pullback to these levels would provide an opportunity for buying on dips.
The recent month-long rally has caused the MACD and signal line to diverge significantly above the zero line, supporting a buy-on-dip strategy during corrections. However, as mentioned previously, a sell signal has appeared on the 240-minute chart, along with MACD divergence, suggesting a higher probability of additional downside. The recent $79 rally could represent the head of a head-and-shoulders pattern, with the right shoulder acting as resistance upon a rebound. Below $76, strong support exists, so box-range trading near critical levels is recommended.
GOLD
Gold closed higher, supported by declining Treasury yields. The daily chart confirms a fully established uptrend, making it advantageous to focus on buying during pullbacks. Treasury yields, which have been inversely correlated with gold, are also showing sell signals, suggesting further downside in yields and strength in gold.
If gold breaks above the 2755 level, it could test the weekly chart resistance at 2788. However, resistance at this level may prevent the weekly MACD from forming a golden cross, leading to a consolidation phase over the next few weeks. On the 240-minute chart, strong buying momentum suggests a bullish third wave that could replicate the prior move from 2625 to 2735. With the clear daily trend and one-way price action, this is a favorable period for swing trading to maximize profits. Traders should consider this an opportunity to grow their accounts.
This week included major events like the CPI report. Next Monday, Donald Trump will officially be inaugurated as U.S. President. Given past market volatility during Trump's presidency, expect heightened price swings ahead. Always adhere to stop-loss levels and manage risks diligently. Wrap up the week well, and best of luck in your trading endeavors.

2025-01-16 - priceactiontds - daily update - goldGood Evening and I hope you are well.
comment: The bull channel is clear and valid until broken. I do think a bigger pull-back is overdue but until then, bulls are in control.
current market cycle: trading range
key levels: 2670 - 2770
bull case: Bulls want to print above 2761 and make a new high above the December high. If they can get it, we could see more upside to 2800 since there is no more resistance afterwards. the bull channel is tight and no matter how you count it, we had at least 3 legs up and betting on a 4th is a losing strategy in most cases.
Invalidation is below 2700.
bear case: Bears doing not enough and if they fail at 2761, we will go 2800+ again. Not much to interpret here. We are still in a bull channel on the 1h tf and bears would need a 1h bar close below the 20ema for a start. The previous times we got above 2740, we printed huge bear reversal bars and I am hoping for another one tomorrow. Bears are also seeing this as at least 3 legs up and they want another decent pull-back for at least 50 points like the prior ones.
Invalidation is above 2765.
short term: Neutral. Waiting for bears to come around here at big resistance. If they fail, we see 2800 soon. No bigger interest in buying this.
medium-long term - Update from 2024-01-02: If we break strongly above 2700, we will likely retest 2740-2760 and depending on that move, we will either stay inside the big range 2560 - 2760 or retest 2800 or even higher.
current swing trade: None
trade of the day: Buying the double bottom on the 1h tf at 2722 before EU open. Otherwise just any pullback to the 1h 20ema.
GOLD Will Collapse! SELL!
My dear followers,
I analysed this chart on GOLD and concluded the following:
The market is trading on 2694.1 pivot level.
Bias - Bearish
Technical Indicators: Both Super Trend & Pivot HL indicate a highly probable Bearish continuation.
Target - 2685.5
About Used Indicators:
A super-trend indicator is plotted on either above or below the closing price to signal a buy or sell. The indicator changes color, based on whether or not you should be buying. If the super-trend indicator moves below the closing price, the indicator turns green, and it signals an entry point or points to buy.

GOLD 1H CHART ROUTE MAP UPDATEHey Everyone,
This is an update on our 1H CHART route map shared on Sunday. This chart has been playing gout perfectly.
We started the week with the retracement range test followed with the bounce into our bullish target 2691. EMA5 cross and locked above 2691 opening 2706 and 2719. This was hit perfectly today completing this range.
We are now looking for ema5 lock above 2719 to open the range above for a continuation or failure to lock above will follow with a rejection here.
We will keep the above in mind when taking buys from dips. Our updated levels and weighted levels will allow us to track the movement down and then catch bounces up.
We will continue to buy dips using our support levels taking 30 to 40 pips. As stated before each of our level structures give 20 to 40 pip bounces, which is enough for a nice entry and exit. If you back test the levels we shared every week for the past 24 months, you can see how effectively they were used to trade with or against short/mid term swings and trends.

EUR/USD : Approaching Critical Demand Zones! (READ THE CAPTION)By reviewing the #EURUSD chart in the three-day timeframe, we can see that the price has currently reached a very important demand zone, and the probability of a price reversal from this level is high! However, note that I personally have another scenario in mind, which is that after an initial short-term rise in the current area, the price will decline again to the very important demand zone of 1.005 to 1.007 , and then, with a suitable trigger in this area, we can look for an attractive BUY position !
All key levels and important zones have been marked on the chart! If you have any questions, be sure to ask, and I will try to respond as soon as possible!

Will gold fluctuate significantly today?
In the early Asian session on Wednesday (January 15), spot gold fluctuated slightly and is currently trading at $2,683 per ounce. Gold prices rebounded slightly on Tuesday, closing at $2,677.22 per ounce, after U.S. inflation data was slightly lower than expected, giving investors a faint hope that the Federal Reserve will continue to lower interest rates in 2025, and the U.S. dollar fell in response. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar and rising U.S. Treasury yields may still be unfavorable factors for gold in the first half of this year, but the demand for gold as a diversified investment tool will be enough to outweigh these unfavorable factors. On Tuesday, the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield continued to rise, once refreshing a more than 14-month high of 4.820%. This yield is regarded as a risk-free yield, the opportunity cost of holding gold in the market, and the rise in this yield will reduce the attractiveness of gold. In addition, concerns about Trump's policy uncertainty also provide support for gold prices, but U.S. Treasury yields continue to climb, which makes gold bulls cautious. Investors are currently waiting for the Consumer Price Index (CPI) on Wednesday to analyze the Fed's policy path.
U.S. President-elect Trump will return to the White House on January 20. He has previously vowed to impose additional trade tariffs. Analysts expect this will trigger a trade war and reignite inflation. President-elect Trump said on Tuesday that he would set up a new department called the External Revenue Service, "to collect tariffs, import duties and all taxes from foreign countries." Trump is preparing to impose new import tariffs before taking office next week. In terms of geopolitical situation, negotiators are trying to agree on the final details of the Gaza ceasefire after marathon talks in Qatar, with mediators and both warring parties saying they are closer than ever to reaching an agreement. However, after more than eight hours of talks, a senior Hamas official told Reuters reporters late on Tuesday that the group is still waiting for Israel to submit a map for its withdrawal from Gaza. U.S. President Biden attended the talks together with envoys of President-elect Trump. Investors need to pay attention to relevant news. In addition, New York Fed President Williams and Chicago Fed President Goolsburn will deliver speeches on the trading day, which investors need to pay close attention to. In addition, pay attention to the release of the Beige Book of Economic Conditions by the Federal Reserve.
Gold market trend analysis:
Gold technical analysis: The gold range has contracted and fluctuated, the daily physical K-line is small, and the short-term space has become passivated. If the space cannot be walked out, it will fall into a narrow range of contraction and saw-saw oscillation, and it is not strong or weak. The daily structure enters the triangle range. Although the low point is upward, forming a small step upward, the resistance at the upper track has not been effectively broken through, and there is no upward space for the time being. In the short term, it will continue to fluctuate back and forth within the range. If the gold rebound and rise is not sustained, then gold will continue to be a volatile market. Gold has poor sustainability recently. Don't chase the rise easily. Continue to short gold at a rebound high.
The gold 1-hour moving average is about to enter a dead cross downward. If the gold 1-hour moving average forms a dead cross downward, then the gold downside space will be further opened. The market is changing rapidly. Gold is now a volatile market. Gold rebounds high and continues to short. On the whole, the professional and experienced gold analyst team recommends shorting on rebounds as the main strategy for short-term gold operations today, and long on pullbacks as the auxiliary strategy. The short-term focus on the upper side is the 2676-2680 resistance line, and the short-term focus on the lower side is the 2645-2650 support line.
Gold operation strategy:
1. Go long on gold when it falls back to the 2660-65 line, stop loss at 2655, target at 2675-80 line, and look at 2690 line if it breaks;
2. Go short on the 2690 line when gold rebounds for the first time, and cover short on the 2704 line when it rebounds, stop loss at 2711, and target at 2665-70 line;
Analysis of gold review in simple languageHello guys
We came with gold analysis.
We have two scenarios:
1_ According to the upward trend, let the price reach the resistance range and maintain the range from there to open a sell transaction.
2- Let the price reach the support range and open the purchase transaction while maintaining the range.
In our opinion, the first scenario is more tolerant.

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 1-16 : Momentum Rally PatternToday's pattern suggests the markets will continue a rally phase - trending on the momentum from yesterday. It is likely the SPY/QQQ will attempt to rally and break away from the downward-sloping price channel I show on my charts.
Remember, my broader cycle pattern research suggests the SPY/QQQ will attempt to rally into Jan 20-23, then peak and roll downward/sideways into a Feb 9-10 V-Bottom pattern.
As I highlight in this video, the markets appear to be moving into a consolidation phase within the current downward-sloping price channel. I'm watching to see if the new Trump administration brings a BUMP (like last time) that breaks the US markets away from this consolidation trend.
Remember, the data on the US economy and earnings continues to be strong. A Trump-Bump will likely happen again, pushing the US markets into even greater dominance as the 900-lb Gorilla compared to other global economies.
However, until global central banks can move their economies to become more independent of US economic demand and imports, the process of working through the excesses of the COVID/Spending-spree administration (Biden) will continue as long as wealth in the US goes unchallenged (by some crisis or economic event).
So, again, expect the 900lb Gorilla to continue to dominate while there is no major crisis event in the future.
Gold and Silver should rally today on a RALLY pattern as well.
I believe BTCUSD is struggling to find support and may move downward over the next 10+ days.
We'll see what happens.
Get some.

Gold Price Update: Potential Bullish ContinuationGold prices are showing signs of a potential bullish continuation. The price has retraced to the 0.5 Fibonacci level at 2,677.26 USD after a strong upward move and appears to be stabilizing around this support.
The current consolidation above 2,677.26 USD suggests the possibility of another upward push toward the 1.0 Fibonacci level at 2,697.98 USD, with further resistance levels at 2,718.71 USD and 2,729.08 USD. However, if the price fails to hold above 2,677.26 USD, the next support level to watch is 2,666.89 USD.
Key Levels:
Immediate Resistance: 2,697.98 USD (1.0 Fibonacci level)
Support Zone: 2,677.26 USD (0.5 Fibonacci level) and 2,666.89 USD (0.25 Fibonacci level)
Potential Targets: 2,729.08 USD (1.75 Fibonacci level)
This setup indicates a bullish outlook if key support levels hold. Should monitor price action closely for confirmation of the next move.
GOLD approaching key short-term resistance. What's next?Gold is moving in the upwards direction, despite the higher US CPI reading, which benefits the US dollar. However, there is a possibility that the higher inflation reading was already priced in and maybe this could lead to slower upside pace for the US dollar. Let's dig in...

GOLD - Potential Bullish Break & Retest SetupGold is currently trading above the $2,700 level, which previously acted as resistance and could now serve as support. If the price pulls back and buyers defend this level, it could confirm bullish momentum, leading to a continuation toward the next target at $2,712. However, failure to hold above the zone may invalidate this setup and signal potential bearish pressure.
This scenario aligns with the broader ascending channel structure, suggesting the potential for further upside if key support holds.
THE KOG REPORTTHE KOG REPORT
In last week’s KOG Report we said for the first half of the week we will be looking for the price to attempt the low-level support 2625-30 to complete the move from the week before which we achieved. We wanted this level to give us the bounce upside for the long, which was almost to the pip, hitting our target upside for another short completing the bearish targets.
We then updated traders with the long trade before NFP which we traded level to level until we released the NFP KOG Report on Friday. For this report we gave the levels of interest and our plan, and although we didn’t manage to capture the exact level for the long, some traders managed to get in on the move hitting the target on the nose. It’s at that red box level we then shorted again to close the week.
What a week in Camelot, not only a point to point moves across the week on Gold but we completed a whopping 22 targets across the other pairs we trade and analyse.
Well done to the community and traders.
So, what can we expect in the week ahead?
For this week we have the key levels above 2700 and above that 2710, which could be possible targets for bulls to attempt during the course of the week. Below, we have the key levels of 2665 and the key level 2650-55 which will be this week’s bullish above bias level. Ideally, on open we want to see a brief test of that high, if rejected we would like to see this come back down to complete the move downside from Fridays’ NFP. It’s these lower levels that need to be monitored, the 2665 region which is where if we want to go up, we don’t want to see a break below and below that, then the extension of the move into the 2645-50 region.
We’re a little too high to attempt the long and we’re also holding protected shorts from above, so a progressive move down would suit before then finding a base to attempt that long unless Excalibur says otherwise.
At present, we can not get to carried away with the long-term direction, a visit into 2700 with a strong break above 2720 is needed for this to continue the move upside, while a break below the 2640-45 region is needed for this to confirm the move further downside. It’s still possible we continue this range until a further breakout so for that reason we’ll play it intra-day for now following our trusted algo and additional tools we have in place.
KOG’s Bias for the week:
Bullish above 2650 with targets above 2700, 2706 and above that 2716
Bearish on break of 2650 with targets below 2640 and below that 2635
RED BOXES:
Break above 2690 for 2700, 2703, 2706, 2710 and 2724 in extension of the move
Break below 2680 for 2667, 2665, 2655 and 2640 in extension of the move
