XAUUSD : Gold adjusted down after the US CPI reportWorld gold prices are currently recovering after a decline as the US CPI reported data was stronger than expected and the unemployment benefit claims data missed estimates, which could delay the Fed's decision to cut interest rates. in the current period and will affect precious metals. After falling to $2,014, gold is now recovering to $2,034.
The market will soon receive the release of US PPI data along with a speech by Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkar.
Although gold prices have continued to decline, the downward momentum has gradually weakened, enough to create a bullish candle on the daily chart. Currently, precious metals are still supported by expectations of Fed interest rate cuts and the weakening of US government bond yields. Along with that is the appeal of a safe haven asset when geopolitical instability is escalating.

XAUUSD : The entire market is focused on the US inflation reportGold increased slightly thanks to DXY's decline after a few recovery sessions. The market held its breath waiting for the US inflation report at the end of the day.
During the January 10 session, world gold prices decreased slightly and stabilized as investors waited for the US inflation report. DXY's slight decline after a few recovery sessions could help gold rise again today. Gold is still a popular asset in the context of high world inflation and Middle East geopolitical tensions. Gold is currently recovering to $2,028 after falling to $2,024 yesterday.
On frame D1, the 100-day MA increased above the 200-day MA last Friday, confirming the uptrend of gold. However, the RSI is currently flat and close to 50, showing that the upward momentum is weakening. If the recovery consolidates, immediate resistance to watch will be the 21-day MA at $2,045, followed by Friday's session high at $2,054 and the $2,100 mark.
On the contrary, sellers may look towards the $2,015 area, with the 50-day MA and Monday's session bottom. A successful test of this support could extend the downward momentum towards the $2,000 mark.
XAUUSD : US inflation report will boost market trendWhile the US central bank turned more cautious at its December meeting, markets ignored this and overpriced a cut for a still resilient economy. strengthening and inflation remains high.
To better understand the Fed's next moves, traders should keep an eye on the US economic calendar this week, paying particular attention to the December CPI report on Thursday morning.
Although core inflation is expected to have cooled last month, headline inflation is seen recovering, rising from 3.1% to 3.2%, which is not good for policymakers and certainly will negatively impact market psychology.
For gold prices to regain upward momentum in the near future, the latest US CPI data needs to show signs that prices are gradually stabilizing. Otherwise, the Fed may continue to delay its interest rate reduction cycle.
In the event of an unexpected increase in inflation reports, the market may raise the valuation of interest rate increases, causing government bond yields to skyrocket. Gold could experience stronger downward corrections in the coming days and weeks.
Gold continued to decline on Tuesday after slipping below the key support zone at $2,050 - $2,045 last week. Sustaining prices below this zone could reinforce bearish pressure, pushing gold to its 50-day SMA near $2,010, then to $1,990.
On the other hand, if the buyers return, resistance will appear at $2,045-$2,050. A break above this level could push the price to $2,085, and then to its highest peak on record.
GBPUSD is trending upAfter a four-day consecutive correction from the high point of $2,088 on December 28th, gold prices saw a slight increase on Thursday, reaching above $2,050. This indicates that the correction signal for a larger uptrend still receives some support, as technical studies in the daily chart remain in the main bullish trend. Gold continues to benefit from the widespread expectation that the Fed will begin cutting interest rates in 2024, as well as signals suggesting a potential economic slowdown in the US this year.
However, due to the minutes of the meeting showing significant uncertainty about the prospect of a Fed rate cut, the expectations for an early rate cut in March have gradually diminished. This has created resistance to further upward movement in gold prices and made the downside risks more fragile.
Bulls need to break the key resistance between $2,052 and $2,058 to initiate new bullish momentum and achieve a stronger recovery. Breaking this range, bulls will face strong resistance at $2,063-$2,066 to strengthen the bullish structure and attempt to break above $2,100 again.
However, as the New York session progresses, a series of data releases have not supported this structure, increasing the risk of further downside for gold prices. In this context, the fragility of gold prices needs to adjust downward until testing the upward trend support at $2,009. In terms of trading strategy, it is recommended to go short at highs.

XAUUSD: Gold price decreased slightly after FOMC meeting minutesDuring the January 3 session, world gold prices decreased slightly mainly due to the increase in the USD. The latest FOMC meeting minutes show that the Fed will not rush to loosen interest rates, prolonging gold's decline. However, gold's initial increase will be maintained when the US interest rate cut plan is expected to be carried out this year and geopolitical tensions increase.
Tomorrow, the market will receive the US employment report, this data can create fluctuations in gold prices as this report will help the market evaluate the economy. Currently, gold is recovering slightly to $2,042.
The SPDR Gold Shares fund on January 3 continued the decline from yesterday when the fund's holdings slid to 874.21 tons.
Technical analysis shows that GOLD is likely to declineGold prices did not fluctuate much last Friday, basically oscillating around 2065, with an amplitude of $16, and finally closed with a Doji Star with long upper and lower shadows. It was a continuous trend from last Thursday. Recently, with the lack of crucial data and speeches, gold prices' volatility has fallen. The Red Sea situation continued to heat up last Saturday, and with the influence of geopolitics, gold prices could be supported. However, with optimistic rate-cut expectations to be adjusted, the overall gold price lacks direction, so it will mainly fluctuate!
Looking at the technical chart, the current gold price is still under pressure in the resistance area of 2075-2080, which also indicates that gold prices do not have the momentum to break through that range in the short term. Judging from the 1-hour chart, the MACD golden cross began to widen, so a rebound can be seen at the hourly level. Investors need to watch for resistance near the MA60 around 2073. However, the MACD death cross in the 4-hour chart began to widen. It is estimated that gold has limited room for a rebound during the day. At the same time, the bearish divergence in the daily chart is prominent,so we do not recommend medium-term bullish investors buy gold now. Today, aggressive traders can still buy low and sell high in the range of 2055-2073.
GBP/USD tends to increase when it meets supportThe GBPUSD has been forming an upward structure with higher highs after breaking above a key downtrend line in early November. Although the GBPUSD's uptrend came to a temporary halt at the four-month high level of 1.2826, the completion of the golden cross between the 50- and 200-day SMAs is expected to provide upside momentum.
However, during the European session on Tuesday, the GBPUSD fell sharply during the day as the USD rose sharply and formed a death cross downward structure in the 4H timeframe, potentially creating more uncertainty for the GBPUSD in the near term.
Now, we believe that as long as Wave 4 of the "upward impulse waves" structure has not been broken, the end of the "upward impulse waves" is still worth looking forward to.
Given that the short-term oscillators are continuing to provide cautiously positive signals, the bulls may try to eliminate the latest weakness and overcome the December resistance at the 1.2794 level. A break above this resistance could open the door to a four-month peak at 1.2826. If it fails to stay here, the GBPUSD could move towards the June high of 1.2847 until it reaches the 1.2900 level.
On the other hand, if the GBPUSD reverses lower, several previous support levels at 1.2642 and 1.2612 could now become the initial line of defense. A break below that bottom could see the price fall to recent support at 1.2611, or even lower, with upward Wave 4 1.2500 likely to provide a correction.
Overall, risks remain cautiously tilted to the upside in the near term, even though the GBPUSD rally appears to be losing its momentum. To change this situation, the price cannot go below a series of key supports or the uptrend will be reversed. It is recommended to buy the dips.
EUR/USD is trending downAs all investors anticipate for the upcoming Non Farm Payroll on Friday, the Dollar gains its strength on the 2nd day of 2024. Trading at 102.10, the US Dollar experienced a significant increase, indicating a noteworthy uptrend in the index. This upward shift can be attributed to market anticipation for guidance and investors turning to the USD as a safe haven in anticipation of key labor market reports scheduled for release later this week.
The economic calendar will be packed with news releases starting on Wednesday, at 23:00 (GMT +8), we have the U.S. ISM Manufacturing PMI (Dec) and U.S. JOLTS Job Openings (SA) (Nov). Besides that, there will be a short FOMC Meeting coming up, it is something to look forward to as the Fed has been mentioning that rate cuts is around the corner, we could hear some dovish or hawkish comments coming up that would determine the Dollar direction for this week.
EUR/USD was trending up aggressively until it got rejected by a strong resistance level at price 1.11392. It has also broken out of the short term uptrend support zone which indicates EUR/USD could be in a short term downtrend which is why I am interested in looking for shorts for short term. Besides that, one of the reason I am looking for shorts is we have a huge imbalance to be filled . The imbalance will be my take profit target for the shorts.
Technical analysis shows that XAUUSD is likely to declineGold prices did not fluctuate much last Friday, basically oscillating around 2065, with an amplitude of $16, and finally closed with a Doji Star with long upper and lower shadows. It was a continuous trend from last Thursday. Recently, with the lack of crucial data and speeches, gold prices' volatility has fallen.

Today, aggressive traders can still buy low and sell high in the range of 2055-2073.
XAUUSD is likely to fall when it encounters resistanceThere were moderate movements during yesterday's Asian session and gold fluctuated slightly up from $2067. During the US trading session, gold quickly increased in price along with the depreciation of the USD and surpassed the resistance zone, once reaching 2084 USD. Finally, gold closed the daily chart on a positive note to post its fifth consecutive gain, showing a clear bullish trend. This is how trends work. Once it is formed, it will not change anytime soon and you will be taking a big risk if you act against the trend. However, it will depend on your trading cycle. For day trading, both bears and bulls have opportunities, and price and timing will be important.
Currently, gold has hit previous resistance at $2070-$2075, which should become significant support for today's trade. If gold fails to fall below that range, it will reach new highs or even reach $2,100. In the 1H chart, a golden cross is expanding and it is away from the overbought zone, indicating more upside space. However, the MACD shows major pullback risks in the 4H and daily charts, and bearish divergence appears to be increasing. Therefore, investors who maintain an optimistic view in the medium term should not follow the current uptrend. Today, the trading range will be from $2070 to $2047, with aggressive investors advised to buy low and sell high.
GBPUSD is trending upSupported by positive market sentiment, GBPUSD rose above 1.2800 on Thursday and settled at the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level at 1.2740 (from July 14 high of 1.3142). to an October 4 low of 1.2037). The rising 20-day exponential moving average (EMA) is placed at 1.2670, projecting continued upside support for the British pound.
The relative strength index (RSI) has risen above 60. The sustained work on these technologies will trigger strengthening, the target gem completing the "upward impulse waves" at 1.3000.
On the downside, activity below minor support at 1.2698 could cause trading sentiment to return to neutral. However, if free support at 1.2499 is maintained to prevent a downturn, further recovery phases remain beneficial.
From a broader perspective, the action starting from the midpoint at 1.3141 is seen as a corrective pattern from the upside at 1.0351. Move up from 1.2036 is considered the second in progress (of this pattern). The upside is expected to be limited at 1.3141 to form the third component. At the same time, support functioning beyond 1.2499 would indicate the start of the third part of the uptrend. In terms of trading, buying at low prices is the recommended strategy.
EURUSD is likely to increase when it bottoms againEUR/USD just hit a high, breaking through the 1.1020 and 1.1101 hurdles to reach 1.1121—a five-month high and up 0.72%. But it's the holiday season and the low trading climate can make things unpredictable. It's likely we will see a temporary spike in rates and then a drop below 1.10 as things return to normal. If you're thinking of selling, keep a close eye on any signs of change. Our next challenge? Resistance level 1.125—notice how the market behaves around that level. Once things stabilize and normal trading begins, we will get a clearer picture. We may be correcting back to the broken resistance level and we may have an opportunity to buy EURUSD at a discount targeting the resistance zone.

Today's GOLD trading strategyYesterday, gold prices' big movements were mainly seen in the first 30 minutes of the Asian session. The price climbed $10. And in the U.S. session, due to risk aversion, XAUUSD also rose $10. Bulls were relatively strong. However, the optimistic expectations for rate cuts still need to be verified or falsified by the December key data. Currently, the risk aversion sentiment is a more important factor. It may gradually fade, but in trading, we need to see what happened rather than guessing. Don't trade in advance.
Currently, bulls are strong, but the price still cannot break above the 2090-2095 range. If there is no big stimulus, it will be difficult to rise above that range in the near future. If the price of gold enter that area, it may be a good selling opportunity.

Gold trading ideas todayThere was no trading yesterday for Christmas. Last Friday, gold ascended slightly in the Asian session. With the support from data, gold once reached $2070 during the European session. Then, it declined in the U.S. session to $2050, showing an inverted 'V' shape movement, closing the daily chart with a long bearish inverted hammer candlestick. Without considering the holiday effect, there was a bearish divergence in the pattern. Technically, it should reach a phase top. However, the general trend is still upward, and investors should catch the opportunity in the near term. Due to the holiday effect, gold bulls may pull up the price, and it will be a chance to short. If investors want to go long, try not to chase the upside but wait until gold prices fall from highs.
At present, gold is dominated by bulls. If they increase their positions, gold prices will go up, and if they decrease positions, gold will retrace. In the 1H chart, as the MACD death cross expands slightly, a retracement will appear soon. Moreover, there is a bearish divergence in the 4H chart and the daily chart. Today, investors should focus on the range from $2050 to $2075 where they can buy low and sell high.
