XRP Price Analysis: Potential 20% Drop Amid Key Support LevelsXRP is currently trading within a box pattern, with a lower high suggesting a higher probability of a downside breakout. If the crucial support level of $0.5213 is lost, there is a 20% potential drop in price, targeting $0.4164. If you are holding XRP, you might consider selling, or alternatively, you could take a short position upon a clear break of the $0.5213 level. Given the importance of this support, a sharp decline is expected if it breaks. Keep an eye on this critical zone for any significant moves.
Technical Analysis
Nat Gas: Heating Up into the WinterBrief Overview on Natural Gas
Natural Gas is a commodity generally traded on the premise of weather forecasts indicating cooler or warmer seasons. This allows traders to speculate on demand for the product as it generally trades higher with cooler temperatures. Today we are looking at the weekly chart.
Thesis: Technical Analysis Pointing to a Bounce
This analysis is mainly focused on the lasting demand zone that Natural Gas time and time again respects and typically bounces from. The weekly chart points to the likelihood that the R/R is favorable for a long position at these levels in the 2.20's. Not only do we see NG tap back into this heavy demand zone, but we also can see a Cup & Handle on the weekly chart signaling potential greater upside.
Demand Zone offers strong R/R as it dips back in to these levels.
Cup & Handle can represent even further upside, but will rely on the initial rebound to prompt the possibility of it playing out.
There is also a trendline (not pictured) that is supporting the current bounce we are seeing today from the 2.18/2.19 level. It is important to note that the commodity has been seeing higher lows since the Spring.
Lastly, a tap of fundamentals play into this idea as well. Though winter demand is always priced in, this year forecasts have repeatedly painted the picture that this winter will be historically mild. Due to these forecasts implying less seasonal demand for Nat Gas, a shift in the shorter-term and more accurate models as we approach the winter season will sharply move the price of Nat Gas and represents that the current price is truly pricing in a very mild winter. This basis supports the idea of great R/R on this LONG trade idea.
Disclosure
I am currently in a long position in Natural Gas after entering on the Friday (10/18) Close
My position includes: AMEX:UNG Credit Spread 13/12P , AMEX:BOIL common shares
If this thesis holds up, I would plan to roll my credit spread contracts into further expirys

GBPJPY Is Nearing Strong Resistance ZoneGBPJPY has been in a strong bullish phase, but five-wave bullish cycle within wave (5) up from 2022 swing lows can be completed after recent strong reversal down back below channel support lines. In fact, drop from the high is impulsive on a smaller time frame, so it’s wave A that stabilized near 178 support area as expected. As such, current rise is corrective, ideally B wave that can be still in progress as a bigger correction before a continuation lower for wave C. Ideal resistance is at that channel line, from the outside, around 198 – 200 area.
GBPJPY is looking for a higher resistance within wave C of (B) in the 4-hour chart, as it can be now breaking out of subwave »iv« triangle into subwave »v« of C, so keep an eye on next strong 198 – 200 resistance zone, from where bears for a higher degree wave (C) may show up.
USDJPY Analysis for 24/10/2024: A Slightly Bearish Bias AheadAs we analyze the USDJPY currency pair on October 24, 2024, current market conditions and fundamental factors suggest a slightly bearish bias. This article delves into the key drivers influencing this outlook, allowing traders to make informed decisions in this dynamic market environment.
Current Market Conditions
The USDJPY pair has shown a mixed performance recently, with fluctuations influenced by both U.S. economic data and developments in Japan. Traders are closely watching for signals that could dictate the pair’s movement, particularly as we approach critical economic indicators.
Key Fundamental Drivers
1. U.S. Economic Data: Recent economic data from the U.S. has been a mixed bag. While there have been positive signs in job growth and consumer spending, inflation remains a concern. The Federal Reserve’s stance on interest rates continues to be cautious, signaling that any aggressive rate hikes may not be imminent. This dovish sentiment can weigh on the U.S. dollar, creating a bearish outlook for USDJPY.
2. Japanese Economic Performance: Japan's economy is showing signs of resilience, with recent data indicating stronger-than-expected growth. The Bank of Japan (BoJ) has maintained its accommodative monetary policy, but there are discussions about potential adjustments in response to rising inflation. Should the BoJ signal a shift towards tightening, this could support the Japanese yen and contribute to a bearish trend in USDJPY.
3. Geopolitical Factors: Ongoing geopolitical tensions and global economic uncertainty can lead to safe-haven buying of the yen. Any escalation in conflicts or adverse developments in trade relations may strengthen the yen further, enhancing its appeal against the U.S. dollar.
4. Market Sentiment and Technical Indicators: Sentiment in the forex market is essential. Currently, there is cautious optimism among traders regarding the yen due to the previously mentioned economic performance indicators. Additionally, technical analysis reveals that USDJPY is nearing resistance levels, suggesting a potential reversal. If the pair fails to breach these levels, it may retreat, reinforcing a bearish bias.
Conclusion
Considering the current fundamental factors and market conditions, the outlook for USDJPY remains slightly bearish for today. Traders should monitor upcoming U.S. economic data releases and any announcements from the Bank of Japan that could further impact this currency pair.

XAUUSD Adjusts With Key Support at 2,722XAUUSD is currently in a correction phase after reaching a peak of 2,758.007.
At present, the price is likely to test the critical support around 2,722, supported by the EMA 34 and EMA 89, indicating that the uptrend could remain intact if the price holds above this level.
If the price does not break this support, it is highly likely to rebound towards the resistance at 2,758.007. The RSI, currently at 57.40, suggests the market is in a neutral zone with no signs of being overbought or oversold.
In recent news, gold prices dropped over 1% after reaching the peak on October 23rd due to a stronger USD and rising US bond yields, despite safe-haven demand driven by the upcoming US presidential election and the Middle East situation.
XAUUSD: Exiting the uptrend channel !Latest gold price forecast today October 24, 2024:
Gold information:
World gold prices fell sharply today due to pressure from the increase in the USD and US Treasury bond yields. Specifically, the US Dollar Index increased by 0.3% to nearly a 3-month high, which put pressure on gold prices. US bond yields also increased to a 3-month high, increasing the opportunity cost of holding gold.
Although gold prices have decreased, experts are still optimistic because the uncertainties related to the US election along with the increasing debt burden in this country are also making investors worried and looking to gold as a safe haven for cash flow.
Conclusion:
This has caused gold to continuously conquer records and has increased by more than 31% this year. With this momentum, gold is one of the best investment channels in 2024.
Ben's personal comment:
On most timeframes, gold price is still well supported, creating a good recovery momentum from the support level of 2408 and now 2723 dollars. The recovery is likely to continue in the coming time with targets of 2733 - 2739 respectively, before any further correction in the main trend.
Gold setup:
Buy entry: 2721 - 2717
SL: 2713
TP: 2733 - 2739
Sell entry: 2733 - 2735 - 2737 - 2739
SL: 2743
TP: 2714 - 2708
SasanSeifi| Key Levels to Watch in the 4-Hour TimeframeHey there, ✌ In the 4-hour timeframe, as observed on the chart OANDA:XAUUSD , gold's price has seen a minor rise after reaching the $2,600 level and is currently trading around $2,657.
In the short-term outlook, one possible scenario is that after encountering the $2,668 supply zone, the price may enter a consolidation phase, with a slight pullback toward the $2,650 and $2,646 levels. If we receive the necessary confirmation signals at this stage, we could potentially see a price rebound and continuation of the upward trend. To maintain this upward momentum, holding the support levels between $2,646 and $2,640 is crucial.
In case of further correction, it’s essential to monitor the price’s reaction to these support zones. If the price finds support at these levels, a new upward move towards the mentioned targets could start. However, if these supports fail, there is a possibility of prolonged consolidation or even a further price decline.
On the other hand, if sufficient buying pressure emerges and the price manages to stabilize above $2,670 and $2,675, the chances of further growth towards targets like $2,700, $2,710, and $2,720 will increase.
This analysis is my personal viewpoint and not financial advice. If you found this helpful, please like and comment – I’d love to hear your thoughts! Happy trading! ✌😊

Gold prices continue to search for new peaks?Conan, hello everyone!
Today, the price of gold continues to break records by maintaining a new peak around $2700, and the growth trend seems to show no signs of slowing down this year.
Notably, this week, the European Central Bank held a meeting and officially decided to cut interest rates for the third time this year, with a reduction of 0.25 percentage points. At the same time, gold has attracted more attention from investors after the LBMA poll released earlier this week. These developments have made the gold market hotter than ever. It is expected that this price increase will reach $2760. What are your thoughts on this issue? Do you agree with me?

EURUSD: Selling strategy is preferred!EUR/USD continued to slide below 1.0800 during the European session on Wednesday. The major currency pair remained under pressure as the outlook for the Euro (EUR) deteriorated due to faster-than-expected inflation declines and rising risks of a Eurozone recession, fueling speculation of more rate cuts by the European Central Bank (ECB).
EUR/USD was also pressured by a rally in the USD. The US dollar gained amid political uncertainty ahead of the US presidential election and strong expectations that the Federal Reserve (Fed) policy easing cycle will be more gradual than previously expected.
Trend-wise, the bearish bias remains dominant across most timeframes and the short strategy remains the dominant style.
Happy trading and good profits!
Why Is Gold and The Dollar Moving Up Together? Hey there,
You may have noticed that Gold has been making record highs, and while in the past this would come at the cost of a weaker dollar, we see this time the dollar has actually hit a two and a half month high.
So, how is this possible? Well, in today's video we explore the possible reason behind this unusual term of events and bring clarity to those of you who might be wondering what exactly is going on in the background.
Gold continues to conquer new heightsHello everyone! What is the current price of gold? Let's analyze with Victor!
The world gold price today set a new record of 2,747 USD/ounce, up 27 USD compared to the same period yesterday at 2,720 USD/ounce. The world gold price skyrocketed to an all-time high as investors increased their demand for safe capital due to uncertainties surrounding the US presidential election and ongoing military conflicts in the Middle East. In addition, gold is considered a hedge against geopolitical and economic instability and has increased by more than 32% since the beginning of 2024. Lower interest rates also increase the attractiveness of holding gold.
As can be seen on the 2-hour chart, gold is showing an extremely positive technical outlook. With moving averages sloping up and technical indicators supporting the bullish trend, gold is ready to conquer new highs. The $2,733 support level acted as a solid cushion in line with the 34 EMA and the rising channel limit, allowing gold to easily clear the $2,747 resistance and move strongly towards the $2,770 target.
So, what do you all think about gold prices today? Will the bullish momentum continue?
BEARS KEEPS A TIGHT GRIP ON EU BULLS!Sellers are having a swell time violating buy zones this week, while we expected shorts, we had hoped to see a potential retracement move give us a chance to enter long (counter-trend/high-risk) but that has not happened.
While price did bounced of this level a few times showing bullish reactions, they were insufficient to determine a shift in sentiment, now attention has shifted to this weekly FVG where we begin to watch for clear bullish reaction from the 4hr TF up to the daily TF .
We'll keep fingers crossed until a reversal pattern prints!
