Cycle Trading: The Status f the Daily Gold Cycle

LikesMoney Independent Analyst

Gold formed a swing low and closed above the 200 day MA in a clear and convincing manner. I have received some emails asking if gold has begun a new daily cycle.

Even though gold had formed a daily swing low on Tuesday, it has not delivered a recognizable decline into a daily cycle low. Normally a decline into a DCL should be enough to cause the 10 day MA to dip lower, which has not happened here. So that would make Tuesday day 22 for the daily gold cycle.

Of course the swing low allows long positions to be entered with a stop below Monday's low. But we need to keep in mind that gold is on day 22 for the daily gold cycle that has been averaging 33 days per cycle since emerging from the 12/15 bear market bottom. Which means that over then next week our cyclical expectation is for gold to begin to seek out its daily cycle low. A swing high accompanied by a break of the daily cycle trend line will confirm that gold has begun its daily cycle decline.

EUR/USD flirts with daily highs, retargets 1.1900

EUR/USD regains upside traction, returning to the 1.1880 zone and refocusing its attention to the key 1.1900 barrier. The pair’s slight gains comes against the backdrop of a humble decline in the US Dollar as investors continue to assess the latest US CPI readings and the potential Fed’s rate path.

GBP/USD remains well bid around 1.3650

GBP/USD maintains its upside momentum in place, hovering around daily highs near 1.3650 and setting aside part of the recent three-day drop. Cable’s improved sentiment comes on the back of the Greenback’s irresolute price action, while recent hawkish comments from the BoE’s Pill also collaborate with the uptick.

Gold clings to gains just above $5,000/oz

Gold is reclaiming part of the ground lost on Wednesday’s marked decline, as bargain-hunters keep piling up and lifting prices past the key $5,000 per troy ounce. The precious metal’s move higher is also underpinned by the slight pullback in the US Dollar and declining US Treasury yields across the curve.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP in choppy price action, weighed down by falling institutional interest

Bitcoin's upside remains largely constrained amid weak technicals and declining institutional interest. Ethereum trades sideways above $1,900 support with the upside capped below $2,000 amid ETF outflows.

Week ahead – Data blitz, Fed Minutes and RBNZ decision in the spotlight

US GDP and PCE inflation are main highlights, plus the Fed minutes. UK and Japan have busy calendars too with focus on CPI. Flash PMIs for February will also be doing the rounds. RBNZ meets, is unlikely to follow RBA’s hawkish path.

Ripple Price Forecast: XRP potential bottom could be in sight

Ripple edges up above the intraday low of $1.35 at the time of writing on Friday amid mixed price actions across the crypto market. The remittance token failed to hold support at $1.40 the previous day, reflecting risk-off sentiment amid a decline in retail and institutional sentiment.
