Trading long on gold XAU/USD and GBP/USD trading short on USD/CAD [Video]

Yesterday we promised to take a look at USDCAD and with the increasing Crude prices and a weaker USD we see more room to the downside.

Price action is trying to break this symmetrical pennant and the Stochastic Oscillator is displaying lower highs which is a bearish signal, but watch out for support just above $1.20.

We have to zoom out to the weekly chart to see support from almost 4 years ago.

The inverse situation can be seen on GBPUSD where Pound strength and dollar weakness gave us resistance 3 1/2 years ago.

Today we see GBPUSD trying to break resistance from this ascending triangle.

We mentioned increasing Crude Oil prices based on increased demand and we see on the WTI Daily Chart, price is back where it was exactly 2 months ago.

We will look for a break of resistance here but be aware that we might get a pullback first and, if you caught our video yesterday, OPEC + is meeting today so be careful.

Gold has kept climbing after it broke this double bottom many weeks ago.

We have a couple of key levels above including these 2 highs at $1950.

Is Gold about to enter its biggest bull run since 2020?

Gold has stormed back into the spotlight and its next move could leave late buyers chasing. On August 5, the yellow metal surged almost 7% – roughly $174 – to close near $4,308 an ounce, posting one of its biggest daily advances in recent history. A weaker U.S dollar, falling Treasury yields, changing Federal Reserve expectations and renewed safe-haven demand all struck at once.

The rate did not move. Neither did the statement, and that’s the more interesting fact. Set the July 29 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement beside the one issued on June 17, and the two documents are identical apart from a single verb and a paragraph at the bottom naming three dissenters.
