Forex trading S&P500 trader – Precious metals at support, UK interest rates in focus [Video]

Brad Alexander FX Large Limited

A few years ago, much of my market analysis was based on the question of US/China relationships.

Here we are again!

All the US Indices show the same price action that looks like range trading.

But, beware. This is more about fundamental news events which very often outweighs technical analysis during a Trump administration.

For example, if we see US/China trade problems, the S&P500 may fall again.

If you want to stick with the technicals, the stochastic oscillator is very overbought and trying to cross and turn down.

But! Great news! GCI has just launched the cTrader platform!

If you want to try cTrader, just go to www.gcitrading.com and you can scroll down, click on cTrader and click for more information and downloads.

Keep an eye on our YouTube channel and website for more videos, webinars and blogs on the cTrader platform.

Getting back to forex trading, keep an eye on GBP as the market has priced in an Interest Rate reduction today.

However, many analysts don’t agree as the UK inflation figures are rising slightly.

Regardless, watch for volatility!

Here’s something we don’t see very often.

All the precious metals are forming reversal patterns and price action is at support.

This does not necessarily mean that price action will fall but watch for breaks of support to the downside and watch for key levels.

Again, gold will be more affected by geopolitical events and many analysts believe that XAUUSD will go to $3,000.

Also, the US Non-Farm Payrolls will affect price action on all of these along with the rest of the markets.

Brad became fascinated with the Currency Markets from a young age and researched fundamental analysis.

EUR/USD climbs to daily highs, focus on 1.1650

EUR/USD now picks up extra pace, climbing past the 1.1640 level, or daily highs, as the US Dollar continues to lose momentum. The move follows fresh tariff threats from President Trump against eight European countries opposing his proposal to take Greenland. With US stock and bond markets closed for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, trading conditions are likely to remain thin.

GBP/USD advances to two-day tops near 1.3420

GBP/USD found its footing after a soft start to the week, edging modestly above 1.3400 the figure on Monday. The British Pound gathers steam on the back of a weaker Greenback, as markets continue to evaluate President Trump’s latest tariff threats against Europe over Greenland.

Gold: Is there a ceiling for XAU/USD?

Gold drew strong buying interest at the start of the week, surging to a fresh record high near $4,700 per troy ounce. Markets turned more cautious after President Trump threatened tariffs on eight European countries opposing his plan to acquire Greenland, a shift that helped underpin the yellow metal.

Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, Pepe in a freefall, echoing Bitcoin’s drop

Meme coins, such as Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and Pepe, extend the decline from last week, with a roughly 3% drop on Monday. The meme coins trade below the crucial moving averages, aiming for the immediate support to potentially reset the momentum.

When tariffs become ammunition and capital becomes the battlefield

Markets opened the week like a risk engine hitting a pothole at speed. Equities stepped back, gold vaulted to fresh highs, Treasuries caught a bid, and the dollar, outside of havens, took on a soft bid. This was not a data-driven wobble or a valuation purge.
