Oceania trading week about to commence NZ. USD, Gold, Bitcoin
*
The USD could see some weakness this week, probably not coming until mid-week price possibly propelled by double/bottom structures on mid-timeframes, however the Daily timeframe is indicative of some weakness with price below the moving averages. It's possible later in the trading week the USD could retreat to the 100.60 - 100.85 zone where there is support. Let's see how that play out.
The whole idea is a bit counter-indicative of a short I am expecting on EUR/USD which is very overbought at the moment.
* In other developments, Bitcoin BTCUSD showed some strength during Sunday's session but is since off its' highs in the weekend session. However, BTCUSD is getting support on the 200 EMA on the Daily. I would not be surprised to see some bullishness in Cryptocurrency this week, with the shine perhaps coming off Gold which is overextended and overbought across all timeframes. The Silver price has further to run but will generally follow Gold's lead.
* In precious metals, as I point out above I see a short in XAUUSD very soon probably today, there is more buying demand on the higher timeframe for Platinum XPTUSD, XAGJPY, XAGUSD, XAUJPY whereas XAUGBP, XAUAUD & XAUUSD look over-bought. As I point out above, it's always tricky because I find they all mostly track the gold-price.
Have a good trading week, Oceania trading in NZ commences in 30 minutes (6pm New York time) and the Australian ASX kicks off in just over 2 hours time.

Gold slows down in downtrendHello everyone, let's explore the price of gold!
Regarding the developments and outcomes of the news on January 22nd: The price of gold has experienced significant fluctuations, mainly fluctuating in a downward trend, and the EMA continues to be the dominant support for gold. Currently, the price is consolidating. This is due to the strengthening of the US dollar as the Federal Reserve is unlikely to cut interest rates in March. As a result, investing in gold becomes more expensive due to higher interest rates.
Conclusion on gold and trends: Gold attracted some buying activity on Tuesday and recovered most of its modest overnight losses. Political tensions in the Middle East, along with concerns about China's weak economic recovery, have supported some safe-haven precious metals. However, in the long run, the price is still negatively impacted by the previous downward trend, evidenced by the price remaining below the strong resistance level of $2050.
My target is for the price to pull back to the resistance levels around $2040 and $2050 before being influenced by the market's strong downward trend, with an expected decline to $2000. Any breakthrough below this level of $1980 will be the last line of defense for the bullish camp.
Can Gold Rising Wedge Be Bullish? Bearish Pattern Break Up?Fellow Traders,
I marked the resistance lines I identified with red, and I identified a rising wedge pattern in white color on the chart. Behind the lines, gold has been accumulating a strong demand within the wedge. The chart pattern itself is a kind that tends to break downwards. In general, a rising wedge is a bearish setup. However, general rules don't work as much in trading as they do in other areas like biology. There's significant statistics for rising wedges to break in either direction.
With gold's growing demand and valuation, I think
the rising wedge could break upwards and trigger an elevated rally.
Or if it breaks down, as this pattern usually does, the wedge allows a steep bounce to retest the wedge before any reversal to bearish.
I can see a conflicting trend and chart pattern, but my two cents say a profitable long position more likely.

Gold Break Down : Hitting 7 Month Low. Crucial Support zoneGOLD(US$/Oz) stands at a 7 month low ever since March 2023. The precious metals commodity is standing at a crucial support levels of the channel ever since April 2023.
Although the charts shows momentum bottoming but the supply constraints and Macro factors may pull it down to levels of 1833,1806 post which we can see it pulling back to channel Trendlines again. The worst case scenario is still open for 1784 but for now that looks a less probabilistic from technical point of view.

Gold Support Level on Weekly TimeframeGold started to correct after a small bull run. We can determine how long this correction will last using both the indicator and the price action method. Looking at the moving average, the $1786 level is a clear support. When we apply the Fibonacci correction to the distance he ran, the 0.5 region appears to be $ 1780 in the same way. And finally, when we pulled FRVP since 2021, we clearly see that around $ 1780 is support.
So this level is a buying opportunity for me.
Silver more precious than goldSilver performed better than Gold in percentage term during each crisis.
We will study into the history of Silver and Gold. And during each crisis, Gold and Silver always performed exceptionally well compare to many other markets.

Silver - SHORT; SELL it here!!All the PMs but especially Silver is a Major SHORT here, with a Low-risk Entry!
A Bullish G/S and a likely USD reversal here - even if potentially limited in scope - should underpin a substantial decline in all the metals, from these levels.
Charts like this are no help, either! (Stock market forced liquidations have a tendency to spare nothing and no one, not even the PMs - at least initially.)
Technical analysis update: XAUUSD (17th May 2021)As all our previous price targets for gold were reached we would like to upgrade our short term price target for XAUUSD to 1875 USD per ounce. Bullish RSI and MACD support bullish case for gold. Also rising inflation plays in favor of gold. Furthermore, we think that the downtrend in cryptocurrency market will further support rotation into gold.

XAU/USD going as planned, could the bottom be in? @SmileyTradesHello Traders!
Hoping to provide a short term update for you as opposed to the Longer Timeframe analysis I did previously potentially signaling a bottom.
So far, Gold has been trading the Nested MMs beautifully, but we are still waiting for the 2nd Traditional Series setup will reach target. With recent price action being a consolidation above previous resistance, we can start to feel confident in Longs.
Key levels are on the chart...there is, of course, the Opposing MM series in play and we must pay attention to that. I am expecting we break the Short Series and have some strong resistance in between $1,875 - $1,925 at the ATWHWB.
I'll link my previous analysis of the larger timeframe to this post for your reference!
Happy Trading, always manage risk.

WPM - It's Do-or-Die TimeFor WPM , it's getting very close to do-or-die time.
A break above the red resistance range (with at least one daily close) would be SUPER bullish for WPM and the whole precious metals sector. However, should WPM break below the green support range (with at least one daily close), we would expect a lot more downside pressure to come to the precious metals sector. Which direction will it be? Are you prepared?

PLG - Bull Flag OpportunityAs a continuation from my first post, we have such a great opportunity for a 150% gain in AMEX:PLG from where we are right now. TVC:PLATINUM has broken out of it's long-term resistance (shown here: ) and we are seeing capitulation within the precious metals sector. I don't expect us to stay here long! Don't miss out!

Silver: Buy the Dip or More Downside Risk Ahead?The bias for TVC:SILVER remains to the upside. The recent slight bounce in the dollar, which has occurred sooner than originally expected, has contributed to last Friday's selloff in commodities. Until proven otherwise on the chart, this recent shakeout remains a buy the dip opportunity and a great place for new buyers to establish initial positions.
Everything shared here is only my opinion and no results are guaranteed. Good luck!
Is Silver Breaking Down?In my opinion, we are experiencing one final shakeout of silver holders before the next big leg up. I'm still looking at this as a great place to add to my position and for new buyers to establish initial positions. Notice we are right at support (~$25.65) and I don't expect us to close below this level today.
However, if we do close below, then all bets are off!

Quickpost: Big Picture on DXY and anti-fiatsThere is a pretty well understood relationship between fiat, like the dollar, and anti-fiats, like precious metals and crypto. With some trend lines we can see that when DXY bases out on long term support more likely than not anti-fiats are either on the verge of topping or in the process of selling off. Well established by now. That base-ing out can be viewed as faith being restored to the dollar and less need to hedge against whatever instability caused the dollar weakness/cheapness.
KEY POINT DXY has decisively broken an uptrend of support in orange. The price action at the break suggest this was a major area of distribution and that area either bisects or trisects the complete move down. The falling support in fuscia gives an area where price action could land and bounce off. This fuscia line meets rising support in purple at the blue cross in mid-2022.
The big picture plan is simple... I am going to be investing in my preferred anti-fiat for the next year and a half and when price action reaches the blue cross I will see if there is topping behavior on the anti-fiat and if I should pivot out into some other asset. If the triangle starts to perform bearishly I look for price action to go to the base of the channel which it hasn't visited in over 10 years. There may be a 10 year bull market in anti-fiats should this triangle break down which makes investing rather easy.
This isn't the whole picture because interest rates, real and nominal come into play but so long as they stay low. No telling how that long will be but eventually this falling wedge on the effective federal funds rate will have to perform. I have a strong suspicion it will be around the time DXY finds support at the blue cross.
Please review the linked ideas for my other thoughts on DXY. The bearish one is the latter, and therefore more mature and accurate post. the DXY target setting one was before I had a wider view on DXY and was a wrong call to the upside.
Silver follows after GoldFirstly, please support our work by clicking like button or following! These really assist us to reach more investors & traders like you!
Silver comes slightly short of $19.00 / ounce as precious metals sets new highs. Bulls have got plenty of support as prices remain upbeat
in an ascending pitchfork.
Gold - $1400/ ounce on the Cards? - Prices to WatchAfter a quiet few weeks on gold, the yellow metal appears to be failing in this most recent breakout attempt that was observed on the daily time frame.
Weekly Time frame:
This is not at all surprising when you zoom out to the weekly chart, which clearly shows excessive exuberance to the upside, rallying quite substantially outside of the 3 ATR channel (the red bands), this set gold up for a nice period of profit-taking and consolidation, a period that we are still in currently.
Monthly Time frame:
This trend is also observed on the monthly time frame, with gold tagging the top of the 3 ATR channel before retreating, the 8 period ema
is also significantly detached from the most recent price action, sitting around $1420/ ounce.
Targets:
Watch the weekly time frame for a retracement back into the 1 ATR channel (the shaded purple region), at a minimum i would expect a tag of the channel mid point (white line) at around $1460/ ounce, but the greater likelihood is a move below the mid point to tag the lower half of the 1 ATR channel, closer to $1425/ ounce.
At this point gold would have sufficiently reset it's price action to become attractive again to traders (who are still the primary near-term price drivers).
Silver Cup and Handle - $90.00 USD Target?Silver has a clear cup and handle formation present (and looking to be resolving) on the monthly chart.
Given the price action in silver recently (check out my earlier analysis which predicted this most recent surge as well as the move up in gold in July) it is worth looking at the longer-term trajectory for silver to determine whether we should be selling, buying or staying on the sidelines.
It is worth noting that pattern analysis is an art, not a science, however it is a fact that the longer the time frame the pattern is observed (e.g. monthly vs. daily patterns) the more validity is tends to have.
The measured move from the base of the cup to the ridge of the cup pattern projects an eventual target of close to $90.00 USD (well north of 300% from present levels)
With this in mind, this pattern will likely resolve over YEARS, not weeks or months, but given the strong tailwind that this could provide for silver and silver associated investments, it is worth considering how you will play (if at all) this market.
even our short term view on Gold and silver is turning bearishAt the moment of writing this article our full 200% net short position in gold,silver and mining stocks is well justified from the risk and reward perspective,last week we saw that the USD index goes lower while the mining stocks, gold, silver and Japanese all moved visibly higher,The slight reveals we saw in precious metals today where gold moved to approx $1231 appears to be a very bullish sign right?one may argue that was an opportunity to enter long but is it really? we highly doubt it and as we are writing this update gold is trading at around $1225 while it was trading at $1231 where we suggested you enter short in our yesterday alert,we believe that the rally is almost over and even if gold goes a little bit higher in short term it will not make any difference and one shouldn't be concerned with it,
Let's take a look at the Japanese yen(as it's currently highly interesting part of USD index) and try to understand why we think gold and silver is about to go much lower at least from both long and medium-term perspective.
The Japanese yen-In our previous post we wrote-The Japanese yen has recently broke it's long-term support line and right now it's trying to verify the breakdown, from a shorter point yen, could move higher but from medium and long-term perspective currency is about to plunge and there are good reasons which support our point of view, from the past few years we witnessed sharp declines in Japanese yen without any meaningful upswing.
In previous post we argue that we might see a short-term reversal where Japanese yen will make some correction based on apex triangle and that it's not going to make any difference,this is exactly what we witnessed,The Japanese yen moved higher but upswing and rally was stopped by the rising long-term support/resistance line. from our perspective, the rally in Japanese yen is almost over or very near to being over,
This means that the implications for the precious metals(gold, silver) is very bearish as before but the short term implications are even more bearish than they were before.
Gold-The yen moved higher and it's definitely a bullish factor for gold but gold wasn't even able to use this bullish factor and soared in a similar fashion, it barely moved $8 higher less than half of what it could it easily gained by the action in the Japanese yen, miners and gold should have soared if this was the beginning of major rally. Long story short, the implications of the gold’s chart are very bearish.
Weakness in mining stocks-we saw that miners moved higher on Friday but volume was very slow. That another bearish sign but not that important. The more significant bearish sign is that like gold miners were also not able to recover Thursday's decline, in last two trading day we saw that miners are down while gold is up, That's a classic bearish sign not bullish
Silver invalidated the breakdown-yes it's very true that silver invalidated the breakdown and was unable to go below 2017 also but at the same time the breakdown is confirmed below the December 2016 and 2017 bottoms,
silver bullish sign-The USD index declined with a force and thus it was obvious that silver was about to go higher and that's what happened but the rally was rather weak also accompanied with slow volume, overall our outlook for silver remains to be same
The conclusion-our outlook for the precious metals is extremely bearish for the long term and for short term
our 200% of the extra short position which we opened in gold, silver and mining stocks a few days ago is well justified from the risk and reward perspective,it'a very likely that the profit on the sell position that we opened some days ago will increase significantly before we will exit this trade,more importantly there are some signs which are pointing for the strong short-term decline in gold, silver and mining stocks,we will keep you informed anyway
many regards-Neeraj Pandey
