Gold sell opportunity is at 1795/1800

Gold, silver, WTI crude

Gold Spot holding below strong resistance at 1795/1800 keeps the outlook negative. If you are short from this level it could be worth holding the position as it looks like we are in a consolidation, probably a bear flag before the next move lower. Bulls need a break above 1805 for a buy signal.

Silver Spot has topped exactly at first resistance at 2630/40 this week to keep the outlook negative.

WTI Crude August broke first support at 7330/20 but then bottomed exactly at the next target & support at 7235/25. Longs here worked perfectly on the bounce to 7363 for a minimum 100 tick profit.

Daily analysis

Gold holding below minor resistance at 1785 is negative for today but the best sell opportunity is at 1795/1800 again of course. Stop above 1805. Bulls need a weekly close tonight above 1800 for a buy signal at the start of next week targeting 1811 & 1820/23.

Moves are expected to the downside eventually to 1770 & 1765/60. ON a break lower look for 1755, 1750 & 1735/30.

Silver gains are likely to be limited again today with first resistance at 2630/40. A break above 2650 however allows a recovery to strong resistance at 2670/80. If silver continues higher look for 2710/20.

200 dma support at 2580/70 has held perfectly this week. A break below this week’s low at 2550 is another sell signal targeting 2525 & 2505/2500.

WTI Crude holding first support at 7330/20 this morning in the bull trend allows a recovery to 7380/90 & 7425/45. A break higher targets 7485/95.

Below 7300 risks a retest of 2nd support at 7235/25. A break below 7210 however can target strong support at 7120/10.

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.
