GBPJPY - The hunt for liquidity within a bullish trendFX:GBPJPY is testing key areas of interest amid an upward trend as part of a deep correction. Fundamentally, the pound is stronger than the yen... The Japanese yen continues to decline for economic reasons related to the Bank of Japan. Against this backdrop, the pound is strengthening. Focus on the 211.59 - 212.0 zone, where the battle for position is most likely to take place. If the bulls manage to break through 212, the currency pair could return to an upward trend. The currency pair is forming a fairly deep correction, but there is no break in the trend structure. A retest of the 0.6-0.7 Fibonacci zone and a retest of the consolidation boundary within the bullish trend have been formed. Resistance levels: 212.08, 213.01 Support levels: 211.59, 211.31 A false breakout and the market holding above the key support zone could give buyers a chance to resume the uptrend after the correction ends.

GOLD - Consolidation continues amid bullish trendFX:XAUUSD maintains its upward trend but shows signs of weakening short-term momentum as the market phase has shifted to consolidation. Interest in the metal remains high... Fundamentals: Tensions between the US and Iran have temporarily eased. Strong US data has reinforced expectations that the Fed will keep rates unchanged until mid-2026, but there will be more news next week... Fed Chair Powell will not be fired, according to Trump, which has eased fears of sudden policy changes. Inflation in the US (CPI 2.7% y/y) remains above the Fed's target, supporting the regulator's caution. The market expects the Fed's first rate cut no earlier than June 2026. Gold maintains a long-term uptrend, but a short-term correction may continue to key liquidity zones. From a fundamental point of view, a resumption of growth will require either a deterioration in geopolitics or weak macro data, and from a technical point of view, a long squeeze or a false breakout of 4581, 4561, 4550... Resistance levels: 4621, 4639, 4650, Support levels: 4581, 4561, 4550 The market clearly shows limit support zones behind which a pool of liquidity is hidden. MM will most likely not leave these zones untouched. The capture of liquidity and the bulls' ability to keep prices above key support zones could trigger growth. Sincerely, R. Linda!

GOLD - The battle for 4600 within the great consolidation...FX:XAUUSD is testing the 4581 zone as part of a correction, forming an intermediate bottom and consolidating above 4600, indicating a confident bullish trend. PPI showed growth in November, retail sales exceeded expectations, and the unemployment rate fell to 4.4% in December, which slightly reduces the likelihood of an early easing of Fed policy, putting pressure on gold. Geopolitics: Tensions between the US and Iran, as well as around the independence of the Fed. Risks are high... Today, data on US unemployment benefit claims will be released. High figures could reinforce fears of an economic slowdown and support gold. The short-term correction in gold is due to strong data from the US, but the upward trend remains influenced by geopolitics and pressure on the Fed. Weak employment data could bring the price back to record levels. Resistance levels: 4612, 4630, 4643 Support levels: 4600, 4581, 4561 Consolidation is forming against the backdrop of a bullish trend. The market is likely to test 4581-4561 as part of profit-taking or correction before continuing to grow. However, if the bulls keep the price above 4600, growth may begin earlier... Best regards, R.

SOLANA - The battle for resistance 145. The bulls have a chanceBINANCE:SOLUSDT.P breaks resistance and tries to stay above key levels. The fundamental background for cryptocurrencies is gradually improving. What can be expected in the short and medium term? The crypto market has received support amid progress in US regulatory initiatives: the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act has been submitted for consideration, which increases regulatory predictability and attracts institutional capital. Progress in regulation is laying the foundation for sustainable growth in the crypto market by attracting institutional capital. Bitcoin is strengthening against the backdrop of positive news related to market regulation and is moving into a local bullish trend. Against this backdrop, SOL is breaking through consolidation resistance and attempting to stay above 143.5 - 144.7... Resistance levels: 156.5, 160.0 Support levels: 144.7, 143.5, 142. 0 If the bulls manage to keep SOL above the key support zone of 143.5 - 144.7 after breaking through resistance and a reversal pattern forms, a rally to 155 - 160 can be considered.

GOLD - Consolidation ahead of news. ATH retestFX:XAUUSD is trading around $4630, pretty close to its all-time high, but since the session opened, the price has jumped a lot because of the aggressive bull market, which could lead to a correction. News ahead... US inflation (CPI) slowed in December, and the market expects 2-3 Fed rate cuts in 2026, which exceeds the regulator's forecasts. Protests in Iran and threats of possible intervention by the US; tensions surrounding the independence of the Fed (investigation into Powell); and the tense situation in Eastern Europe are creating geopolitical risks. • US PPI data will be released today. • Higher inflation figures may temporarily support the dollar and limit gold's growth. • Traders are also awaiting the Supreme Court's decision on Trump's tariffs, with a 72% probability of cancellation. If this is confirmed, the market may react strongly... Resistance levels: 4630, 4650, 4675 Support levels: 4600, 4577 Technically, the ideal scenario would be to wait for a correction, for example to 4605-4600, or to the support level of the trading range to form an ideal entry point. But against the backdrop of an aggressive market, bulls are likely to push the price up from the 4630 zone... Best regards, R. Linda!

GBPNZD - Ascending triangle on an upward trendFX:GBPNZD has moved into consolidation amid an uptrend and is forming another bullish structure. Focus on trigger 2.340 The global trend for the currency pair is bullish. Against the backdrop of the main trend, consolidation is forming in the form of an ascending triangle, which is generally a fairly strong bullish conglomerate. If resistance is broken, consolidation may move into a distribution phase After the short squeeze, a weak reaction is forming and the market is quickly returning the price to the resistance level of 2.340. Closing above this level could trigger a rally to 2.35. Resistance levels: 2.34, 2.355 Support levels: 2.338, 2.336 Before the resistance is broken, a long squeeze of local support may be triggered. However, a quick retest of resistance and a close above the level may trigger distribution towards 2.355. Best regards, R. Linda!

GOLD - Consolidation ahead of news. Long squeeze?FX:XAUUSD is trading in the $4575-4600 range (consolidation) ahead of US inflation data (CPI) for December... Inflation remains above the Fed's target (2%), making the data key to assessing the timing of rate cuts. XAU is consolidating below record highs. Profit-taking is observed ahead of the data release. Geopolitical risks and concerns about the Fed's independence support long-term demand for gold. The reaction to CPI data may be short-term, as these factors remain a priority: • Above forecast: dollar growth, gold correction to $4550 - 4520. • Below forecast: dxy weakening, gold growth to $4650 - 4700 Gold retains its upside potential, but in the near term, its movement will depend on inflation data. Any correction can be seen as a buying opportunity amid ongoing geopolitical and monetary risks. Resistance levels: 4600, 4630, 4650 Support levels: 4577, 4560, 4550 The initial retest of 4600 may end in a pullback, and a close below 4577 may trigger a decline to 4561 - 4550 before an attempt to grow (interest in the liquidity zone). However, against the backdrop of news reaction, gold may test 4550 - 4520 before continuing to rise. Very weak news may trigger a breakout of 4600 and an aggressive rally. It is important to monitor the context... Best regards, R. Linda!

ETHEREUM - Retest resistance before a possible declineBINANCE:ETHUSDT is trading within the range of 3050-3150, with a local and global bearish trend. The market is still waiting for positive drivers, and until they appear, it is possible to trade within the channels... Against the backdrop of a global downtrend, Bitcoin is forming a bullish wedge/ascending triangle, which in the current circumstances I consider to be a consolidation pattern before a possible liquidation and decline to 80-75K, which in general could trigger a decline across the entire market. Ethereum is forming a trading range against the backdrop of a local downtrend. Focus on trading boundaries, namely resistance at 3150 After a short squeeze and a price decline to 3060, a liquidity pool of 3060-3050 (area of interest for MM) has formed below the local level Resistance levels: 3150 - 3181 Support levels: 3083, 3056, 3000 A retest of 3150 and a lack of momentum may confirm the dominance of bears in the market, which in turn may form a false breakout of resistance and a reversal to the zone of interest and liquidity pool 3050.

GOLD - Consolidation near 4600. Breakout or correction?FX:XAUUSD has updated its ATH to 4600. A local range is forming, with growth potential, against the backdrop of escalating geopolitical risks and concerns about the independence of the Fed, which remain. Trump's consideration of military operations in Iran amid internal unrest and the tense situation in the Russia-Ukraine conflict (emergency UN Security Council meeting) create geopolitical risks. Questions for the Fed: A criminal investigation has been launched against Chairman Powell, heightening concerns about pressure on the central bank's independence. US employment data (NFP) for December (+50K) was weaker than expected, supporting expectations of Fed policy easing. Attention is shifting to December inflation data (CPI), which will assess the likelihood of a rate cut in March (current probability ≈30%). The correction may continue, but the combination of risks and soft monetary policy creates medium-term support for further growth. Resistance levels: 4600, 4625, 4650 Support levels: 4561, 4550, 4517 Since the opening of the session, gold has exhausted its intraday ATR reserve, which creates additional opportunities for consolidation or correction, within which the market may test key support zones, such as the previous ATH, before continuing to grow. A long squeeze of the specified support may provide the market with liquidity for further growth. However, an aggressive market could trigger a breakout of 4600 without correction... Best regards, R. Linda!

USDJPY - Consolidation may turn into upward distribution FX:USDJPY is storming the resistance zone of the current consolidation. Focus on 157.88, a breakout of the current border could trigger an upward movement... The Japanese yen is testing the intermediate bottom, hinting that the currency is preparing to continue falling. Against the backdrop of a weak yen and a strong dollar, the currency pair may continue its upward trend. Retesting resistance, the reaction from the bears is weakening, and the bulls are trying to keep the price above 157.88. If there is no reaction (pullback), then growth may continue from the 157.15 - 157.88 zone, provided that the price closes above the level. Resistance levels: 157.88 Support levels: 157.15, 156.18 Technically, against the backdrop of an uptrend, consolidation is forming, within which the market is not updating local lows, but is gradually contracting towards resistance at 157.88. There is a high probability of a breakout (possibly after a slight correction to local support). Nearest targets: 160.0 - 161.5 Best regards, R. Linda!

GOLD - Storm 4475 ahead of the news. NFP aheadFX:XAUUSD is stabilizing at 4475 in a state of consolidation. However, ahead lie US employment data and the Supreme Court's decision on Trump's trade powers... Fundamentals: 60K new jobs are expected to be created in December, unemployment may fall to 4.5%, and wage growth to 3.6% y/y. As for the Supreme Court, it will decide whether Trump can impose tariffs without Congress' approval (IEEPA law). The market also continues to expect 2-3 interest rate cuts in 2026. Geopolitical tensions are supporting demand for defensive assets. Today, the market is waiting for NFP. Strong data will lower expectations of Fed easing, strengthen the dollar, and put pressure on gold (to $4300), but weak NFP data will reinforce bets on rate cuts and support gold (to $4550). The court's decision on tariffs will affect trade policy and the dollar. Resistance levels: 4475, 4500, 4525 Support levels: 4460, 4442, 4427 A breakout and consolidation above 4475 could open the way to 4500, a breakout of which could trigger a rally to 4525-4550, but given the volatility of the news, the market may test the support zone before a possible rise.

SOLANA - retest resistance of the trading range BINANCE:SOLUSDT has been rising since the session opened amid a weak market. The altcoin is showing bullish momentum in a predominantly bearish market, with a focus on the 145.0 zone. Bitcoin is rebounding from resistance amid a global downtrend. There is currently no bullish potential (across the entire market), which is putting pressure on altcoins overall. SOL, against the backdrop of a neutral market, is seeking to test the resistance zone of 144.7 - 146.0 - a key liquidity zone that plays an important role for MM in the current circumstances. A short squeeze and the formation of a reversal pattern could shift the imbalance towards sellers, which in turn could lead to a decline. Resistance levels: 143.4, 144.7, 146.0 Support levels: 134.3, 127.55 Solana is trading in a neutral trading range of 145.0 - 123.0. The main trend is bearish. The bullish run and retest of resistance can be perceived as a hunt for liquidity. We are interested in the above-mentioned resistance zone and confirmation in the form of a false breakout to enter the market. Best regards, R. Linda!

GOLD - Correction and retest of support on a bullish trend FX:XAUUSD is forming a correction from the resistance level of 4500 and reaching a local low of 4415. Against the backdrop of DXY growth, the correction may continue. The market is awaiting economic news... Mixed US data: JOLTS job openings fell to 7.146 million. ADP employment rose by 41,000. The ISM services index rose to 54.4, which is higher than expected. Expectations for two Fed rate cuts in 2026 remain (≈61 bps). The fundamental backdrop is mixed, with additional confirming data needed. Geopolitics supports demand: the US has confirmed negotiations on the acquisition of Greenland. China has imposed a ban on the export of dual-use goods to Japan. The focus is shifting to Friday's US employment report (NFP). The correction in gold appears to be temporary amid continuing expectations of Fed policy easing and geopolitical tensions. The NFP report will be the decisive factor in determining the direction — weak data could trigger a new round of growth. Resistance levels: 4442, 4475, 4497 Support levels: 4427, 4400 As part of the correction, gold may test the support zone of 4425-4400. Overall, the trend is bullish, and the market correction may be temporary. A false breakdown and the bulls holding the price above key zones could trigger growth towards the flat resistance.

GBPJPY - Waiting for a Long Squeeze Before a Bullish RallyFX:GBPJPY is testing the key support area of 210.28 as part of a correction against the backdrop of an uptrend. What can we expect from the market? The Japanese yen looks weak, forming a symmetrical triangle consolidation amid a global downtrend. A continued decline in the yen could trigger growth in the currency pair. GBPJPY is consolidating between 210.28 and 211.59 amid a bullish trend. A manipulative decline is forming with the aim of hunting for liquidity. A long squeeze could trigger growth due to a shift in the imbalance towards the buyer. Resistance levels: 210.7, 211.15 Support levels: 210.28, 210.05 There is a high probability of a false breakdown of the current trading range support. Focus on the 210.28 - 210.05 zone.

GOLD - Retesting support at 4440 ahead of the news FX:XAUUSD is correcting from weekly highs of $4,500 amid a rising dollar and profit-taking ahead of key US labor market data The market expects two Fed rate cuts in 2026. The ISM Manufacturing PMI in December (47.9) was lower than expected, reinforcing expectations of a dovish policy. In addition, geopolitical risks remain (Russia's actions off the coast of Venezuela, tensions between China and Japan), which continue to fuel demand for safe-haven assets. Today, ADP employment data, JOLTS job openings, and the ISM services index will be released. Weak indicators could increase pressure on the dollar and support gold. The correction appears to be technical amid profit-taking. The uptrend remains intact as the dollar remains under pressure due to expectations of Fed policy easing. Any decline in gold can be seen as a buying opportunity. Resistance levels: 4475, 4497, 4520 Support levels: 4442, 4430, 4402 Two key support zones relative to the current trading range: 4442 - 4430. A long squeeze and liquidity capture followed by price consolidation above key levels could shift the imbalance towards the buyer (bullish trend)... Best regards, R. Linda!

GOLD - Consolidation before resistance at 4470. Bullish trendFX:XAUUSD resumes growth and tests 4470, an important resistance level, amid a weakening dollar caused by expectations of further easing of Fed policy and continuing geopolitical uncertainty. Expectations of a Fed rate cut intensified after the release of weak ISM Manufacturing PMI data. Geopolitical risks have temporarily receded into the background, but remain a potential catalyst for a new wave of demand for safe-haven assets. Attention is shifting to US labor market data (ADP report and JOLTS vacancies on Wednesday, NFP on Friday). Weak employment figures could increase pressure on the dollar and support gold. Important nuances: China and Russia's reaction to US actions in Venezuela, as well as the open conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Further dynamics will depend on employment data and a possible escalation of the geopolitical situation. A break above $4470 will open the way to testing higher levels. Resistance levels: 4470, 4488, 4519 Support levels: 4440, 4430, 4400 If the metal does not pull back from 4470 and continues to storm the resistance, then attempts to continue growth from 4470 can be considered. Otherwise, the market may test 4440-4430 before rising (long squeeze). Within the current cycle, gold has a chance to test its ATH. Best regards, R. Linda!

DOGEUSDT - Consolidation after growth is a positive signBINANCE:DOGEUSDT is testing resistance, but the coin is not going to reverse yet. Focus on the current consolidation at 0.145 - 0.1534. A long squeeze or a breakout of resistance could trigger growth. Bitcoin has been growing throughout the week, forming a retest of resistance. If the growth continues, it could support a bullish run in altcoins. After the rally, DOGE moved into consolidation at 0.145 - 0.1533. The market is showing positive dynamics. The altcoin may test the consolidation support before growing. However, a breakout of the 0.1533 resistance and a close above the level could trigger an early rise. Resistance levels: 0.1534, 0.1648 Support levels: 0.145, 0.139 Regarding the current consolidation in the trading range format, I highlight two levels: 0.1534 and 0.145. If the overall positive background persists, a false breakdown of support at 0.145 or a breakout of resistance at 0.1534 with the price closing above the level could trigger further growth towards the local zone of interest at 0.165.

Expanding risks: Trump hinted at Colombia and Mexico. The situation between Russia and Ukraine remains tense. Against this backdrop, investors are actively shifting funds into defensive instruments, including gold and the US dollar Important US labor market data is expected this week, which could add to volatility. Venezuela has set up a commission to free Maduro, indicating a further escalation of the conflict. Gold remains a priority for investors amid unprecedented geopolitical uncertainty. Short-term corrections are possible, but the overall uptrend is likely to continue, especially if the conflict in Latin America escalates Resistance levels: 4440, 4470, 4519 Support levels: 4400, 4373 If the bulls keep gold above 4410-4400, then in the short and medium term, gold will be able to continue to grow despite the fact that the daily ATR has already been exhausted.

The main nuance is how the market will react at the opening after the increase in geopolitical risks due to the actions of the US... Starting January 5, liquidity will begin to grow in the market after the Christmas and New Year holidays. However, the year is starting with an increase in geopolitical risks due to US actions in Venezuela... The Russian-Ukrainian conflict is still not progressing in negotiations, which also creates additional risks. The Pacific and Asian sessions may be reactive... The dollar is forming a correction within a downward trend, but it will be necessary to monitor the index's reaction to the US geopolitical actions that took place on Saturday. The growth of the index may put pressure on the metal... Gold is forming a trading range of 4300-4400. Globally, we have a bullish trend, but locally, gold is forming a correction. BUT! It is necessary to monitor the price reaction relative to 4315-4300 from the opening of the Pacific, Asian, and European sessions.... Resistance levels: 4355, 4400, 4440 Support levels: 4315, 4302, 4275 Accordingly, based on the available technical and fundamental data, we can assume that there may be a bullish run from the 4300 zone.

Fundamental support for Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market is still absent, or not felt. Accordingly, it's too early to talk about a bullish reversal, rally, or pump. The daily chart shows a downtrend and consolidation in a flat/symmetrical triangle pattern. The zone of interest (liquidity area) is 89950 - 90600. A false breakout/short squeeze could shift the imbalance toward bears and trigger a reversal and decline within the current trading range, which in turn could trigger a decline in the altcoin market. Resistance levels: 89950, 90600, 91900 Support levels: 88000, 86800, 85000 A localized upward movement amid a global downtrend, as long as this zone is not broken, can be considered a counter-trend correction.

LTCUSDT - Retest of the liquidity zone on a downtrendBINANCE:LTCUSDT.P is forming a local rally after breaking through resistance at 78.0. The market is bearish, but within the bullish run, the altcoin may test liquidity at 79.4 - 81.0. Bitcoin looks weak, a rebound from resistance is forming, and Friday's daily bar indicates strong bearish dominance. A fall in the flagship currency could trigger a fall in LTC after a local rally... LTC looks slightly stronger than the market. The target of such a rally may be hidden behind 79.4 - 81.0. In the current situation: global downtrend, low market liquidity, I see this as a manipulative hunt for liquidity before a decline. Resistance levels: 79.4, 81.0 Support levels: 78.0, 77.0, 75.4 A retest of this resistance cluster could end in liquidity capture and a false breakout. Consolidation below 79.4 could trigger a reversal and a decline. Best regards, R. Linda!
