Gold Steadies at$2700 Amid Trump Inauguration &Geopolitical CalmXAU/USD: Gold Prices Steady Near $2,700 – Outlook in a Trumpian Era
Gold prices go easy
Gold prices (XAU/USD) remained steady on Monday morning, fluctuating around $2,700 per ounce as Donald Trump prepared to step onto the podium. With the U.S. observing a holiday (markets are closed) in honor of Martin Luther King Jr., global attention shifts to Trump’s inauguration as the 47th President of the United States.
Trump’s Market-Moving Speech Ahead
Although the specifics of Trump’s speech remain uncertain, analysts speculate that tariffs and tax cuts may emerge as core topics. A softer stance on these points could ease concerns about inflation and reinforce a bullish outlook for gold. Conversely, a more aggressive approach, such as imposing 20% tariffs on imports, might heighten inflation fears and potentially weigh on gold prices.
Trump’s inauguration speech is expected to impact gold prices significantly, as it sets the tone for his administration’s economic policies.
Geopolitical Developments: Ceasefire in Gaza
On a separate note, geopolitical tensions eased on Sunday following confirmation of a ceasefire between Israel and Gaza. The agreement was solidified with Hamas releasing three hostages after some delays, in exchange for Israel freeing 90 prisoners. While gold is traditionally viewed as a safe haven during geopolitical uncertainty, the de-escalation in the Middle East reduced immediate demand for the precious metal.
Gold Technical Analysis
Gold prices are currently consolidating between $2,706 and $2,722 per ounce. The bearish momentum suggests a potential stabilization within the bearish zone, contingent on key levels being breached.
- Bearish Scenario: If prices stabilize below $2,712 and $2,706, further declines to $2,689 and $2,678 are likely, especially if a 4-hour candle closes below $2,706.
- Bullish Scenario: To confirm a bullish trend, prices would need to break above $2,722, potentially targeting $2,739.
Key Levels
Pivot Point: 2712
Resistance Points: 2722, 2739, 2756
Support Points: 2689, 2678, 2665
Trend Outlook
Bullish Trend: Above 2722
Bearish Trend: Below 2706
USD
NZDUSD: RSI Bullish Divergence calls for a buy.NZDUSD is neutral on its 1D technical outlook (RSI = 51.335, MACD = -0.004, ADX = 18.088), recovering the previous bearish technicals. It seems like the 1D RSI Bullish Divergence on HL is forcing the price to a short term at least bottom with the last two similar situations rising by at least +3.50% over the 1D MA50. Buy (TP = 0.57350).

USDCHF, follow the current trendOANDA:USDCHF / 1D
Hello Traders, welcome back to another market breakdown.
USDCHF is showing strong bullish momentum, breaking through key resistance levels and signaling a potential continuation to the upside. However, instead of jumping in at current levels, I recommend waiting for a pull-back to the previous weeklyrange.
If the pullback holds and buying confirms, the next leg higher could target:
First Resistance: Immediate levels formed during prior consolidation.
Macro high.
Stay disciplined, wait for the market to come to you, and trade with confidence!
Trade safely,

Trump Bullish for USD! Farage Next for GBP?!With the way the media is promoting Nigel Farage more day by day & getting his face out there, I’m starting to think his been ‘selected’ as the next U.K. Prime Minister. They’re drip feeding the idea into the publics head.
Also, with the way the media is releasing more & more race hate content & dividing people, it’ll be ‘completely normal’ when a far right politician into power, as no one will question it or even think to say he had no support behind him. With all the race hate & division content being promoted by the media, we’ll see a lot more aggro against coloured people & immigrants. This’ll be the main factor used to make the public believe Nigel Farage was put into power by the public.
This is just my theory. Let’s see how it pans out!

EURUSD 20-24 Jan 2025 W4 - Weekly AnalysisThis is my Weekly analysis on EURUSD for 20-24 Jan 2025 W4 based on Smart Money Concept (SMC) which includes the following:
Market Sentiment Weekly Chart AnalysisDaily Chart Analysis4H Chart AnalysisEconomic Events for the Week
Market Sentiment
Interest Rate Differentials: The widening gap between US and Eurozone interest rates favors the USD. Higher US yields attract capital flows, supporting the USD against the euro.
Inflation Trends: While inflation in the Eurozone remains subdued, the US continues to grapple with sticky inflation, keeping the Fed cautious about easing policy. This divergence further supports the USD.
Energy Prices: Elevated energy prices, driven by geopolitical tensions or supply disruptions, could weigh on the Eurozone’s trade balance and economic growth, adding pressure to the euro.

USD/JPY - Short Entry based on Price action MACD and RSI DivThis is going to be my first published trade of 2025. I am going to start with $100 Dollar Account and see how I can grow it with Low Leverage on OANDA. I know this is something people talk a lot about and this can be a very cringe topic. However I am not looking to grow the $100 Dollars over night to $1,000,000.00. I am like the indicators I am using looking to do this over a longer horizon of time.
I am going to start by using Price action plus these 3 Indicators on a regular basis. I Will also be trying to Identify and use Key areas of Support and Resistance. I am still trying to better understand volume profiles so if anyone has any inputs or can help guide me in that direction I am open to discussions.
Thanks for reading.

XAUUSD 19/01/25This week, our analysis on XAU continues with the same bullish bias from last week. After a clean bullish shift last week, we anticipate gold to maintain its upward momentum. As always, Orion guides us on the trading direction, and we follow accordingly.
Currently, we are targeting lows as potential buy zones and highs as key levels to trade into. With recent developments, including Trump becoming president and the current moves in gold, another bullish run appears to be the most probable scenario.
Stick to the plan, trade from the lows into the highs, and always manage your risk effectively.
Trade safe, follow Orion, and stay disciplined.
