Mati Ur Rehman DailyGoldAnalysis

Gold price is trading near to its watching zone as we discussed in the previous analysis. Gold is still trading in a range and forming a symmetric triangle on an hourly chart.

The beauty of symmetric triangle is, it always give handsome move after breaking the triangle range. We need to check it out either it will break support or the resistance to predict the movement.

The triangle is becoming narrow and it is now predictable if we look close to its resistance or support levels.

The narrow resistance is forming around 1259-61 zone and the support according to current price is around 1254-55.

If gold break the resistance and close above 1263 level, this will confirm the resistance break and could take gold towards its next target around 1277.

If gold break the support and close below 1251, this will be the indication of support break out and may take gold towards the 1233-37 minimum.

Please keep in mind, we will consider the break after the closing of the hourly candle, which means if candle closes below the suggested price on an hourly chart, This will be the signal to jump in.

Please have a look at the hourly chart below, I have mentioned possible watching zone and target levels.

GBP/USD surrenders some gains, back to 1.3420

GBP/USD holds on to moderate gains above 1.3400 the figure on Friday. Optimism surrounding the UK government’s leadership transition and expectations of further BoE tightening support the British Pound, while easing tensions in the Middle East and fading Fed rate-hike expectations weigh on the US Dollar.

EUR/USD turns positive, targets 1.1450

EUR/USD now picks up pace and advances toward the 1.1440 region on Friday, up modestly for the day. With no major economic data due, lingering uncertainty over the US-Iran conflict keeps investors cautious, limiting the pair's upside.

Gold remains offered, still below $4,100

Gold struggles to extend Thursday’s rebound and navigates below the $4,100 mark per troy ounce on Friday. Uncertainty surrounding the Middle East conflict limits the precious metal’s upside, which is also under pressure amid rising US Treasury yields across the curve.

Week ahead – US CPI and Warsh testimony to take centre stage, BoC eyed too

US inflation report and Warsh testimony to headline the week. Dollar to dominate amid slew of other US data and Mideast tensions. Amid fresh Iran escalation, China GDP to shed light on Q2 impact. Bank of Canada not expected to follow RBNZ with rate hike.

Five sessions, one round trip: Why the whipsaw is exactly what Warsh ordered

Markets opened July with a December hike as the base case and spent five trading sessions unlearning and relearning it. A 57K payrolls print bled the tightening bets out of the strip; a re-shut Strait of Hormuz is pushing them back in. Wednesday's minutes from the June Federal Open Market Committee meeting landed mid-round-trip, describing a world that had already stopped existing.
