Gold and Silver could drop 10% [Video]

XAU/USD

Gold bounced back above 4300/4310 to hit the next target of 4318/22, but reversed from 4329.

I thought we could resume the bull trend but that clearly is not the case at this stage.

The failure to hold above 4290 triggered further losses as predicted to my targets of 4284/82,  4273/70 &  4250/45.

We broke  support at 4245/40 to hit 4165 over night.

I see only 1 level of support worth noting today at 4170/4160, but it's only minor and I think Longs could be risky in this 2 month bear trend.

If you want to take the risk then place a stop below 4150.

A break lower (if we hold below 4160/4170) can target 4130/20 & 4100/4090.

from recent price action I would not be surprised to eventually see losses as far as 4060/50 & even a retest of the June low at 4023 is not out of the question next week.

If we do manage to hold minor support at 4160/4150, look for a recovery towards 4200/4210.

Gains are likely to be limited but a break above 4220 could target 4240/4245.

Gold

XAG/USD

Silver made a high for the day exactly at the 6980/7000.

We collapsed steadily & the move below 6920/6900 triggered a sell signal targeting 6820/6800 & support at 6790/6760 but longs were stopped below 6720.

We have now fallen as far as 6423 as I write over night. I see no reason for the market to reverse so further losses look likely. I think we can target 6350/40 & 6295/6285.

Even a retest of important support 6150/6100 cannot be ruled out.

Just be aware that a break below here (& especially a weekly close below here tonight) could target 5800/5750 next week.

Gains are likely to be limited with resistance at 6510/6530 & shorts need stops above 6575.

An unexpected break higher however meets stronger resistance at 6630/6670.

AUD/USD meets fresh supply and tests 0.7100 amid weak Australian PMIs

AUD/USD has come under fresh selling pressure and is testing 0.7100 in the Asian session on Wednesday. Australia's flash PMIs showed manufacturing slipped into contraction and services expanding slowly for a second straight month, renewing the pair's downside.

USD/JPY hovers around mid-157.00s in the Asian session on Wednesday, near two-week highs touched last Friday as the BoJ's dovish rate hike continues to undermine the Japanese Yen. Meanwhile, the US Dollar remains firm amid the Fed's hawkish stance, adding support to the pair, though JPY intervention fears cap further gains. Markets pay little heed to the completion of the round of US-Iran indirect talks ahead of Trump-Xi meeting.

Gold: Bull-bear tug-of-war extends ahead of Trump-Xi meet

Gold has come under fresh selling pressure, struggling near $4,350 in Asia on Wednesday, retracing a part of the previous rebound from sub-$4,300 levels.

Bitcoin steadies after strong rally, Ethereum and XRP ease into consolidation
Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Ripple (XRP) bulls take a breather mid-week after gains of 6%, 4%, and 13% so far this week. BTC consolidates at $86,300, ETH hovers around $2,751, and XRP is at $1.57. The price action of these top three cryptocurrencies suggests bulls remain in control, although traders may have taken profits after the recent sharp rally.
