Trade ideas for Gold, Silver, WTI Crude and Forex [Video]

If you managed to buy some EURJPY at 160.90 (this was the low for the day so it would have been tough to get the position on I know), the pair immediately shot higher to the 161.50 target as we remains in a sideways range.

Try this trade again today.

EURUSD recovered almost all of Tuesday's steep losses on the weak retail sales number. We hit the sell level & just held below the stop.

USDJPY collapsed 130 pips, back below the 150 area to hit my buy level of 149.55/35, with a low for the day at 149.53.

AUDUSD retests & holds the sell level at 6520/40 as again, we remain yet another in a sideways consolidation.

Gold, silver & WTI Crude technical analysis & trade ideas for Friday:

Gold XAUUSD got very close to strong resistance at 2010/2014 with a high for the day at 2008. This should be an excellent sell opportunity today with stop above 2017. A break above 2017 keeps us in a frustrating sideways channel which means we could recovery all of this week's losses & reach 2028/30.

Shorts at 2010/2014 target 2000/1998 & below 1995 look for 1990/1988 for profit taking before the weekend.

Silver XAGUSD recovered all this week's very steep losses as we remain in a sideways channel, unable to find any direction. We retested strong resistance at 2265/85 & shorts need stops above 2305. (Yesterday's high was 2305).

A break higher targets 2326/29, perhaps as far as 2340/44.

WTI Crude March future shorts at strong resistance at 7790/7840 worked perfectly as we collapsed from 7877 to my targets of 7730 & 7700/7680 then my next target of 7590/70 with a low for the day exactly here yesterday.

However prices then reversed to recover all of Wednesday's losses as WTI Crude remains in a longer term sideways channel. In fact we are still trading around the September 2022 lows having gone up a bit and down a bit, but holding a $30 range for 17 months.

We are retesting strong resistance at 7790/7840 at the upper end of the 3.5 month range. Shorts need stops above 7900.

A break above 7900 is a buy signal for today with a break above the January high of 7929 triggering further gains to 7960/80 & as far as 8000/8020. In fact a move as far as 8090/8110 is not out of the question.

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.
