Market Analysis
GOLD
Gold prices rose as expected, making a clear breakout from the consolidation zone after the MACD and overall price action signaled a continuation of the uptrend. While the RSI did not show a strong momentum shift, the price action remained in line with the bullish structure. Gold is now setting new all-time highs and may continue doing so in the coming days, especially amid rising global trade tensions.
Additionally, heightened geopolitical risks in the Middle East—particularly U.S. military action against the Houthis in Yemen, which directly pressures Iran—could further drive demand for safe-haven assets like gold. This mix of factors positions gold for further gains in the near term, and traders should look for any potential retracements to buy on dips.
SILVER
Silver prices followed gold’s lead, seeing increased buying pressure. The market performed even better than expected, aligning with our outlook for continued bullish movement. The MACD is steadily increasing in buying volume, and the RSI is stabilizing with bullish momentum. We anticipate further gains in the coming days as silver continues to benefit from gold’s movement, though caution remains as the market might face resistance at certain levels.
DXY (U.S. Dollar Index)
The U.S. dollar is showing signs of extended consolidation. After a stagnated session, while gold surged to significant levels, it suggests hesitation and doubt regarding the U.S. economy. Institutional investors are possibly seeking alternatives to hedge against dollar risk, and the MACD indicates an increase in bearish volume. The RSI shows that the dollar’s upward momentum is normalizing. We expect further selling in the coming days, but remain cautious until a confirmed shift in the dollar’s direction occurs.
GBPUSD
The British pound has gained as expected following yesterday’s bounce. The larger consolidation zone remains intact, likely in anticipation of further developments around the April 2 tariff deadline. Both the MACD and RSI indicate growing bullish volume and momentum. A potential breakout to the upside is on the horizon, but until that happens, we will focus on range-bound opportunities within the consolidation zone.
AUDUSD
The Australian dollar remains stagnant with no significant developments. As expected, the consolidation continues, and we will wait for more price action before making any directional calls. The MACD remains neutral, and the RSI indicates no significant shifts in momentum.
NZDUSD
The New Zealand dollar continues to consolidate. The previous outlook remains unchanged as we await a clearer market breakout. While the MACD suggests potential bearish volume growth, the RSI indicates oversold conditions. This suggests that the bottom boundary could push prices back up, but a clear break is required before confirming the direction.
EURUSD
The Euro is showing selling potential after testing the EMA200, though the RSI is stabilizing, and the MACD hints at a possible increase in buying volume. Despite this, the muted market movement suggests uncertainty. While a shift back to buying within the consolidation zone is possible, we remain bearish as long as the overall price action respects the downward trend.
USDJPY
The Japanese yen continues to strengthen, breaking above 150.883. A stronger-than-expected Tokyo inflation report has increased expectations for a Bank of Japan rate hike as early as May, which could further support the yen. The MACD and RSI both reflect increased bullish momentum, supporting a continuation of the uptrend. This positive outlook for the yen might see further price movement to the upside.
USDCHF
The Swiss franc remains in consolidation, and our previous analysis stands. We are holding off on any directional calls until a clearer market direction emerges. There are no significant signals for a breakout, so we will continue to monitor the price action.
USDCAD
The Canadian dollar remains in consolidation, and we maintain our prior outlook. The CAD has shown little movement, and we will wait for further market development before making any new assessments. A break outside of the current range could signal a more definitive directional move.
