Gold and Silver make a low for the day at the buy levels

XAU/USD

Gold we have a potential new leg higher in the longer term 20 year bull trend just starting.

However yesterday we traded sideways & closed unchanged as we consolidate after recent gains.

We made a low for the day exactly at the buying opportunity at 2494/91.

Same levels apply for today & again, holding above 2509/05 (a low for the day morning here yesterday) allows a recovery to 2525/28.

On a break above 2533 look for 2539/43, perhaps as far as 2554/56.

We could eventually reach 2565 & 2578/82.

Even 2599/2602 is possible.

A buying opportunity again at 2494/91. Longs need stops below 2485.

Gold

XAG/USD

Silver break above 2920 was another buy signal for this week targeting 2940/45 & 2970/75

My first buy level is at 2920/2900 again & yesterday we made a low for the day at 2920 - again longs need stops below 2875.
Targets: 2940, 2960, 2980

A break above 3000 is a buy signal targeting 3035 & 3060.

Chart

WTI Crude October future

Last session low & high for the October contract: 7146 - 7416.

WTI Crude remains caught in a longer term sideways channel, around 2 years old with moving averages flatlining & converging for 6 months.
For the last 11 months WTI Crude has been consolidating in a narrowing triangle pattern as the monthly ranges decrease.

WTI Crude made a high for the day at 7416, just 16 ticks above the sell level & hit the 7170/40 target for a potential 200 ticks profit

Once again holding first resistance at 7360/7400 can target 7220/7200, perhaps as far as 7170/40. Further losses today retest the August low at 7100/7088.

A break below 7075 is a sell signal targeting 6990/6970 & 6910/6890.
Even as far as the December 2023 low at 6800/6770 is possible eventually.

Bulls need a push higher through 7490 to target resistance at 7560/90 & shorts need stops above 7640.

Editor's Picks

EUR/USD trims losses, flirts with the 1.1850 zone

EUR/USD is back on the back foot on Wednesday, slipping below the 1.1850 area as the US Dollar picks up some modest traction. The move comes as traders position ahead of a busy run of US data and the release of the FOMC Minutes. Adding to the pullback are reports that the ECB’s Lagarde may step down before completing her term.

GBP/USD flirts with daily highs near 1.3580

GBP/USD manages to set aside two consecutive daily declines and trades with slight gains in the 1.3580 zone on Wednesday. Cable’s uptick comes despite acceptable gains in the Greenback and easing UK inflation figures, which seem to have reinforced the case for a BoE rate cut in March.

Gold regains some shine, retargets $5,000 ahead of FOMC Minutes

Gold gathers fresh upside traction on Wednesday, leaving part of the weakness seen at the beginning of the week and refocusing its attention to the key $5,000 mark per troy ounce, all ahead of the release of the FOMC Minutes and despite the modest uptick in the US Dollar.

Pi Network rally defies market pressure ahead of its first anniversary

Pi Network is trading above $0.1900 at press time on Wednesday, extending the weekly gains by nearly 8% so far. The steady recovery is supported by a short-term pause in mainnet migration, which reduces pressure on the PI token supply for Centralized Exchanges. The technical outlook focuses on the $0.1919 resistance as bullish momentum increases.

Mixed UK inflation data no gamechanger for the Bank of England

Food inflation plunged in January, but service sector price pressure is proving stickier. We continue to expect Bank of England rate cuts in March and June. The latest UK inflation read is a mixed bag for the Bank of England, but we doubt it drastically changes the odds of a March rate cut.

Top 3 Price Prediction: Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple face downside risk as bears regain control

Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple remain under pressure on Wednesday, with the broader trend still sideways. BTC is edging below $68,000, nearing the lower consolidating boundary, while ETH and XRP also declined slightly, approaching their key supports.
