EURUSD → How will NFP affect the pair? Down to 1.0600?FX:EURUSD is facing strong support at 1.0600. A rebound and counter-trend correction within the downtrend is forming. Traders are waiting for Friday's NFP
Globally, the currency pair is in a bear market phase. There is a strong struggle for the 1.0700 area, especially ahead of Non Farm Payrolls, which may determine the medium-term outlook. Traders expect the NFP to be lowered to 238K, compared to the previous 303K. On the background of high news volatility, the price may test the liquidity zones above the price before continuing to fall, as the general background for the currency pair is still negative.
Resistance levels: 1.07365, 1.0800, 1.08643
Support levels: 1.0703, 1.0606
Based on the general data there is a probability to see a positive NFP for the dollar, which in general will continue to have a negative impact on the currency pair. But the problem with economic news is still that it is high uncertainty.

Current Gold trading trend,sell first and wait for the buy priceLast week, the world gold price in the first session of the week traded at 2,335 USD/ounce. In the following sessions, gold prices could not maintain the mark above 2,340 USD and began to decline, reaching the lowest level of the week below 2,283 USD.
World gold price increased again above 2,325 USD/ounce after the Federal Reserve (Fed) announced information on the roadmap to adjust interest rates. However, gold prices could not maintain their upward momentum and weakened at the end of the week.
Gold price on Kitco closed the trading week at 2,301 USD/ounce. June gold futures price closed at 2,309.70 USD/ounce, down about 1% compared to last Friday.
Kitco News's latest weekly gold survey shows that experts are less positive about gold's prospects in the short term. Most retail traders believe that gold prices will decrease or move sideways. According to a Wall Street survey, 40% believe that gold prices will continue to move sideways, 33% predict a decrease.
This week, the market is interested in notable economic information such as the US 10-year bond auction, preliminary consumer sentiment report from the University of Michigan,...
Gold is likely to increase again, today's trading trendWorld gold prices tend to increase with spot gold increasing by 1.5 USD compared to last week's closing level to 2,302.7 USD/ounce.
Experts assess that the gold market has just had an interesting week when it received a lot of information that affects the direction of this precious metal. Gold started a series of declines and reached the lowest mark below 2,283 USD/ounce at noon on May 1 (US time) from 2,335 USD/ounce at the beginning of the week. However, this precious metal regained momentum when the US Federal Reserve (Fed) announced to keep interest rates unchanged and increased again above 2,325 USD/ounce. However, this precious metal was unable to maintain its recovery momentum and returned to test the level of 2,290 USD/ounce.
Although gold recorded its second consecutive week of decline after a 5-week recovery streak, experts still maintain optimism for this precious metal. Many opinions say that the US Central Bank has taken a not dovish stance on future monetary policy, but is certainly not "hawkish". At the press conference after the policy meeting in the middle of this week, Fed Chairman Powell made it clear that the Fed has no intention of raising interest rates.
“I think it is unlikely that interest rates will increase. I would say that is unlikely to happen,” Mr. Powell said.
Experts also say that the factors that pushed gold prices to record highs despite the Fed's stance still remain, including demand from central banks.
Gold has dropped dramatically,what is the opportunity to buy nowGold prices fell sharply in today's trading session, slipping from the $2,300/ounce level on concerns about higher, longer-term US interest rates ahead of this week's US Federal Reserve (FED) meeting. .
Weakening safe haven demand is also exerting pressure, especially as recent reports suggest ceasefire talks have resumed between Israel and Hamas. This makes gold even more vulnerable to interest rate risks.
But despite recent declines, gold prices still traded up more than 4% in April, extending the impressive gains seen in March.
The focus is now on the Fed meeting this weekend, where the central bank is expected to keep interest rates steady. But Fed Chairman Jerome Powell is expected to take a more hawkish stance on interest rates, especially after a series of hot inflation indicators.
Signs of persistent inflation suggest traders have largely underestimated expectations for a near-term rate cut by the Fed. The central bank is currently only expected to cut interest rates in September or the fourth quarter, if at all this year.
Higher interest rates for longer periods bode poorly for gold because they increase the opportunity cost of investing in the yellow metal. The strength of the dollar, thanks to the outlook for stable exchange rates, is also putting pressure on broader metals markets.
Other precious metals also decreased in price today, accordingly, platinum futures prices decreased 0.1% to 959.05 USD/ounce, while silver futures prices decreased 1.8% to 27,168 USD. /ounce.
GOLD → Consolidation ahead of NFP. Rise to 2328 or fall to 2250?FX:XAUUSD decreases volatility, smoothly moving into a consolidation phase before the publication of NFP. The market structure is bearish and the overall fundamentals are negative. What should we wait for?
Today is quite a busy news day, but all attention is focused on NFP. The gold market is locally bearish and set for further decline. Breakout of 2295 and price consolidation below this area will form a bearish potential. But on the news background anything can happen, like a shakeout to 2328 before a further fall to 2250, or an attempt to break the trend resistance....
Resistance levels: 2305, 2328, 2346
Support levels: 2295, 2280, 2267
Technically and fundamentally the market is weak and ready to conquer the lower liquidity zones, but there is news ahead. It is impossible to determine the movement in advance, but based on the general data, there is a probability to see the continuation of the decline.

The area of 2328 is keeping the price down and plays the role of a strong key resistance. The bears (sellers) are quite strong and continue to gain momentum. The price is testing the range support. There is a possibility of support breakout with the subsequent decline, but for this there should be either technical or fundamental reasons. There may be a pullback before the news. Ahead of Initial Jobless Claims, traders are waiting for a negative scenario against the dollar, if the data is below 212K, the gold may continue its decline, if the IJC is above 212K, the gold will head towards 2328.
Resistance levels: 2305, 2328
Support levels: 2295, 2280, 2267

Bitcoin (BTC) Price Analysis: Preparing for the Bearish AbyssIn this technical forecast, we delve into the darker recesses of Bitcoin's potential price journey. We observe a concerning configuration on the BTCUSD chart where the currency is currently grappling with critical support levels.
Current Dynamics:
The price has recently retracted from a peak, teasing the possibility of a significant downtrend.
A descending channel formation can be seen, indicating a tightening bearish grip on the market momentum.
Worst Case Trajectory:
Should the price break below the sturdy support zone, indicated by the green rectangle, we may see an accelerated drop.
The price could tumble toward the lower boundary of the channel, a line that has historically acted as a gravitational pull during bearish trends.
Key Levels to Watch:
Immediate support resides within the green rectangle zone. If this fails, the descent could be sharp and unforgiving.
Further support is hypothesized by the extended yellow trend lines, outlining a worst case range that could spell distress for bulls.
Projected Pathways:
The worst case scenario envisions a stark descent, followed by a period of consolidation below the current support.
A relief rally might attempt to reclaim lost ground, but the overarching trajectory remains bleak in this hypothesis.
Conclusion:
While we must tread with caution, preparing for a bearish eventuality is prudent. Investors and traders should brace for volatility and consider the historical behavior of the market during similar patterns. Vigilance is key as we watch for potential support breaches that could confirm this grim forecast.
Where does the Bitcoin downtrend continue to?Hello dear friends, I hope you're doing well. Before delving into Solana and Bitcoin analysis, let me reiterate two important points for newcomers and myself:
1. If you haven't profited from market dips or experienced severe liquidation, take a few days off from the market.
2. Avoid entering the market for revenge, as emotional decisions could lead to further losses.
As you can see, Bitcoin experienced an 18% drop from the $73,600 ceiling and reached a support level of $60,000.
The question arises: Is the $60,000 range an attractive zone for market makers or major players? My answer is a resounding no, for several reasons.
As I've mentioned before, the $60,000 range serves more as a psychological barrier than a significant support level.
Market makers reinforce this range so you can comfortably take long positions at $20k, $40k, or $80k without worry, or even go full margin long.
In my opinion, the $60,000 range is the biggest bull trap that market makers have set for us.
Within less than a week before the halving, the $60,000 range has been strongly supported, but 8 to 10 days later, CZ's criminal sentencing area awaits us.
Considering the current dominance of Tether and the breakdown of the rising wedge bearish pattern, we could look to open short positions in the $64,500 to 68,000$ range. The likelihood of this scenario playing out is very high.
-------------
Here are the potential scenarios for Tether's dominance:
1. A move of 4.7%, breaking the resistance at 5% and reaching the 5.85 range, which is the channel's midpoint.
2. A correction to the 4.5 to 4.36% range to complete the upward pullback, followed by a move towards the 5.85 range, which is the channel's midpoint.
Therefore, we conclude that Tether's dominance is very bullish. It's likely that the $60,000 support range will be broken, and the price will drop to $45,000 (the 5.85 USDT.D range).

The Elliott Wave count I conducted in the previous analysis on the RSI indicator is nearing completion. Wave A has been completed.
