Gold: Further gains are certainly possible towards 1946/49

Jason Sen DayTradeIdeas.co.uk

Gold longs at my buy level of 1915/10 worked perfectly with a low for the day at 1911 before we shot higher to 1932 for a quick & easy 15 point profit. That's up to 50 points profit in gold over the last week.

Silver moving in the opposite direction as we plunge to 2274 after last week's double top sell signal.

WTI Crude April tests the upper end of the 2 month range at 8260/8300 & remains very clearly in a 6 month sideways trend.

Daily analysis

Gold longs make up to 15 points profit yesterday as we head for 1935 target & look for 1939 before the end of the week. Further gains are certainly possible towards 1946/49.

We should have good support at 1915/10 today. Longs need stops below 1905.

Silver over ran strong support at 2310/00 by 26 ticks before a rebound to 2348. Strong resistance at 2380/2400. Shorts need stops above 2420.

Silver bulls obviously need a break above the 2455 double top high for a buy signal & a chance to catch up with the gold rally.

Just be aware that a close below 2290 on any day this week is a sell signal targeting 2255 & strong support at 2220/00.

WTI Crude February choppy & erratic with no clear trend after failed bullish breakout. I must wait for a signal or a breakout. First resistance at the upper end of the 2 month range at 8260/8300. A break above 8320 can target 8420/30 & 8470/90.

First support at 8060/40 for a potential 100-150 ticks scalp but longs need stops below 8000. Next downside target & support at 7930/00. Longs need stops below 7860.

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.

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.
