Gold hits $3,500, crypto profit-taking, indices rally, NFP ahead [Video]
|The markets are at a critical turning point this week, and in this video, I break down the major moves across asset classes:
Gold’s surge to $3,500
Gold has pushed into uncharted territory, hitting the $3,500 level as risk-off sentiment and Fed cut expectations fuel safe-haven demand. We’ll explore the catalysts behind this move and what it means for traders in the days ahead.
Crypto money rotation
After weeks of strong gains, the crypto market is showing signs of rotation. Altcoins are cooling off as traders take profit, while Bitcoin and Ethereum face key resistance zones. Is this just a healthy reset or the start of a deeper correction?
US indices gearing up
The S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow Jones are showing strength and building momentum toward new all-time highs. With investor sentiment improving, I’ll discuss what levels to watch and how earnings and Fed policy are shaping the next leg higher.
Forex majors in a waiting game
EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY and other major pairs remain rangebound as traders position for Friday’s Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) release. Liquidity is building up, and a strong or weak jobs report could trigger the breakout.
This week’s price action reflects a market in transition - from profit-taking in crypto to safe-haven demand in gold and bullish equity positioning. The real volatility catalyst, however, may come from NFP, which could dictate USD direction across the board.
