Gold

Gold headed for strong resistance at 5100/5150 exactly as predicted.
We wrote: This will be key to direction now & shorts need stops above 5200.
This proved top be correct & it certainly was key to direction with a high for the day only $8 below the sell level.
Gold then immediately fell as far as my target of 4880/4860 for profit taking on any shorts.
We then made a low for the day exactly at support at 4880/4840 & shot higher to 5023 for a potential 1500 tick profit on this trade.
Try longs here again today with stops below 4795.
A break lower today however can target 4690/4670.
Resistance again at 5100/5150 & shorts need stops above 5200.
Just be aware that a break above 5200 can target 5310/5330.

Silver

Silver hit resistance at 9050/9150 & our short positions here worked perfectly on the collapse from 9220.
In fact prices collapsed almost as far as support at 8320/8220, with a low for the afternoon only a little above here at 8388
Resistance at 9050/9100 today & again, shorts need stops above 9230.
A break above 9230 can target 9600/9650.
For today we should have support again at 8320/8220 & longs need stops below 8100.
Targets for the bounce: 8500, 8600, 8700.
However a break below 8100 risks a slide to 8030 & 7830/7800.

GBP/USD stays weak toward 1.3600 on BoE's 'Super Thursday'

Gold recovers major part of intraday losses to sub-$4,800 levels; down a little on firmer USD

Gold rebounds swiftly following the Asian session fall to sub-$4,800 levels and climbs back above the $4,900 mark in the last hour, though the upside potential seems limited. Wednesday's softer US ADP report pointed to labor market weakness and strengthened the case for interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, lending support to the non-yielding yellow metal.

BTC steadies as bears shift focus toward $70,000

Bitcoin price remains under pressure so far this week, with the Crypto King slipping below $73,000 on Tuesday for the first time since November 2024.

Top Crypto Losers: Zcash, Stacks, BNB drop further as Bitcoin weakens

Zcash, Stacks, and BNB (formerly Binance Coin) are among the biggest losers over the last 24 hours as Bitcoin approaches $72,000. The correction is driven by multiple factors, including massive, steady outflows from institutions and large-wallet investors, broader-market risk-off sentiment, and the delay in the Digital Asset Clarity Act.
