Gold XAUUSD: made a low for the day exactly at first support at 2370/65 & longs worked on the bounce to all my targets of 2380, 2390, 2395.

First support again at 2370/65 & longs need stops below 2355.
Targets again are: 2380, 2390, 2395.
A break lower however risks a retest of KEY SUPPORT AGAIN AT 2325/20 TODAY. Longs need stops below 2315. Targets: 2345, 2355, 2365.
On a break above 2400 take this as a buy signal & look for 2418/22 before a retest of the all time high at 2428/31.
We saw strong selling pressure here last week. I still think it would be risky to short here again today but if you try (hoping to see a negative double top form) place a stop above 2435.
A break below 2315 suggests the important support at 2325/20 has been broken & it should then act as resistance & trigger further significant losses towards 2305, 2295 & 2290/85 for profit taking on shorts. Just be aware that a break below 2280 targets a buying opportunity at 2265/60 & longs need stops below 2250.

Silver XAGUSD however collapsed through first support at 2855/45 but made a low for the day at support at 2800/2790 & longs need stops below 2770.

First support at 2800/2790 & longs need stops below 2770.
Targets: 2845, 2890.
A break lower however risks a slide to 2750/40 & perhaps as far as 2710/00.
A break above 2855 can be taken as a buy signal for today targeting 2900 for profit taking.

WTI Crude may future

WTI Crude has been yo-yoing now for 10 days as we held mostly withing Monday's range.
For this reason it is a very tricky time to position trade. Moves are random & erratic, with no clear pattern or trend. Although I think this is a consolidation so I think eventually we will break above 8800 & continue higher .
On the downside we should have a buying opportunity at 8320/8280 & longs need stops below 8240.
Targets: 8390, 8480
A break above 8800 however should target 8900/20 & even 9050/80.

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.

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.
