Gold

Gold held strong support at 3220/3216 through most of the day in a very quiet session, although dipped to 3211 briefly at lunchtime.
After 2 days of the expected consolidation Gold beat the all time high at 3245 over night for a new buy signal to hit the next target of 3255/60
The break above 3260 has already hit the next target of 3271/74 & I expect to see 3280/83 before the end of the day.
Above 3285 look for 3300/3304.
Support at 3247/43 & longs need stops below 3233.
A break lower retests 3219/15 & longs need stops below 3209.

Silver

Silver holding above 3230 is a buy signal for this week targeting 3245/50 (hit as I write this morning) & even 3270/75 is likely.
Support at 3170/50 & longs need stops below 3130.

WTI Crude may future

Last session low & high: 6088 - 6206.

(To compare the spread with the contract that you trade).

WTI Crude held a small range inside of Monday's range.

A break above Monday's high of 6268 can retest minor resistance at 6340/80. Shorts need stops above 6420. A break higher can target 6550/6590 for profit taking on longs.

Minor support at 6080/40 but below here can target risks a retest of support at 5940/5900. Longs here need stops below 5830. A break below 5830 could hit 5700/5680.

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.
