Last week we saw price action on gold in a symmetrical pennant and the stochastic oscillator looking very oversold.
We are still there but are we now looking at a descending triangle?
Symmetrical Pennants are usually continuation patterns while triangles can go either way.
If price action on gold breaks support and we see tensions easing in the Middle East, will we see a fall in gold?
Silver is consolidating as well but in an ascending triangle which could go either way as well.
On both gold and silver, be aware of lots of economic news affecting USD like an FOMC statement, CPI, and PPI.
Also, tomorrow we have an Interest Rate decision from New Zealand and a 0.5% drop is forecast.
If this prediction is wrong we will see volatility.
And, traders and analysts will be examining the RBNZ statement for clues to future decisions, affecting price action.
As we can see, NZD is weaker this month based on the predicted rate decrease.
If we look at just one example, we can see just how strong the movement has been on NZDUSD on the daily chart.
Price action has clearly broken out of this bull run from August.
We have a key level just below and we are looking at a very oversold stochastic oscillator.

Gold declines below $2,620, erases weekly gains
Gold edges lower in the second half of the day and trades below $2,620, looking to end the week marginally lower. Although the cautious market mood helps XAU/USD hold its ground, growing expectations for a less-dovish Fed policy outlook caps the pair's upside.
Bitcoin misses Santa rally even as on-chain metrics show signs of price recovery
Bitcoin (BTC) price hovers around $97,000 on Friday, erasing most of the gains from earlier this week, as the largest cryptocurrency missed the so-called Santa Claus rally, the increase in prices prior to and immediately following Christmas Day.
