Market Analysis: USD, EUR, GBP & Gold Trading Insights

GOLD

Gold saw an interesting shift following Trump’s confirmation of new tariffs. Prices rose to an acceptable level before potentially encountering stronger selling pressure. The USD trading dynamics continue to influence gold’s movement, as a stronger dollar often weighs on its upside potential.

The MACD is displaying increased buying volume, while the RSI is stabilizing after previous selling momentum. This suggests a potential short-term pullback before a clearer directional move emerges. However, forex volatility and spreads remain key factors influencing gold’s performance. If the correlation between currency pairs continues to favor risk-off sentiment, gold may maintain long-term strength despite temporary dips.

SILVER

Silver prices are experiencing a temporary increase in buying at 31.4724, but this movement is not strong enough to shift the broader bearish momentum. The RSI is signaling both overbought and oversold conditions, indicating consolidation.

Meanwhile, the MACD remains muted, showing little conviction from buyers or sellers. Given this setup, we anticipate continued selling unless a stronger catalyst emerges. Liquidity in forex markets and risk sentiment play a key role in silver’s outlook, and if USD trading dynamics shift further in favor of the dollar, silver could face additional downside pressure.

DXY (US DOLLAR INDEX)

The dollar experienced a significant decline after falling below 106.848. Despite this, overall market momentum remains tilted toward buying. USD trading dynamics are critical here, as upcoming tariff decisions could drive dollar strength or introduce volatility.

While we continue to seek more opportunities to buy the dollar, current indicators suggest potential short-term weakness. The RSI is showing increased selling pressure after reaching overbought levels, and the MACD is growing in bearish volume. If Trump proceeds with the announced tariffs, we could see a sudden surge in dollar strength. A single aggressive move could shift forex volatility and spreads, making it essential to stay cautious.

GBPUSD

The Pound has seen a renewed push higher due to the dollar’s lackluster performance. This has shifted market momentum back toward buying, though the potential for selling remains strong.

The RSI is oversold, while the MACD is nearing a bearish crossover despite the recent buying momentum. These conditions suggest two possible scenarios: a brief pullback or consolidation before resuming the uptrend, or a continued sell-off in line with upcoming USD trading dynamics. Given the correlation between currency pairs, GBPUSD remains highly reactive to economic developments in both the U.S. and U.K.

AUDUSD

The Australian dollar remains in consolidation. The MACD is signaling growing selling momentum, but the RSI is oversold, indicating a possible short-term bounce. However, with the RSI reaching extreme levels, the possibility of further selling increases once price stabilizes.

With forex volatility and spreads playing a significant role, the direction will largely depend on how Trump announces the tariffs later today. If risk appetite declines, the exotic forex pairs vs. minors dynamic could add further pressure on AUDUSD.

NZDUSD

The Kiwi is mirroring the Aussie, remaining in consolidation while awaiting further market direction. The MACD is on the verge of crossing lower following a softening of bullish volume, and the RSI remains oversold.

The MACD’s exaggerated prints suggest that selling pressure may normalize before continuing lower. Given liquidity in forex markets, NZDUSD could struggle to find strong upside momentum in the near term, especially if the correlation between currency pairs continues favoring a stronger dollar.

EURUSD

The Euro is consolidating near the upper boundary of its range, creating increased selling pressure. While the MACD is close to crossing lower, the RSI is still indicating a continuation of bullish momentum.

This mixed signal suggests that the market is at a crucial inflection point, and we will need to monitor how price action develops in the coming days. EUR trading dynamics remain sensitive to forex volatility and spreads, making this a key pair to watch for potential downside continuation.

USDJPY

The Yen is showing stronger selling potential, with the MACD reflecting growing bearish volume and the RSI signaling increased selling momentum.

The RSI’s exaggerated movements, despite relatively muted price action, suggest that further downside is likely. Given the broader fundamentals, we expect selling to continue. USD trading dynamics and the correlation between currency pairs will be key in determining the Yen’s next move.

USDCHF

The Franc is under pressure, with selling momentum increasing. The MACD is showing strong bearish movement, and the RSI is normalizing the recent sell-off.

Price has also fallen below the EMA200, nearing 0.89431, reinforcing expectations for continued selling. However, fundamental factors such as liquidity in forex markets could introduce additional volatility in the coming sessions.

USDCAD

The CAD remains weak, with price action showing little change. We expect continued buying momentum, particularly after Trump’s upcoming tariff announcement.

The MACD remains bullish, while the RSI is consolidating, setting up a potential continuation of the buying trend in the coming days. Forex volatility and spreads will likely determine if USDCAD can maintain its bullish momentum.
