GOLD - Hunting for liquidity ahead of growth. Focus on 4475FX:XAUUSD reached a new historic high of around $4,525. However, profit-taking is causing a correction, with the 4,475-4,470 range being the area of interest in the bull market. The dollar is weakening, with the market anticipating two rate cuts in 2026. Geopolitical risks are supporting demand for safe-haven assets. Positive US GDP data for Q3 (+4.3%) did not support the dollar due to expectations of a slowdown in growth in Q4. The dollar index has hit its lowest level since early October. Today, US jobless claims data will be released, which may increase volatility. The overall positive sentiment in the stock markets is holding back more active growth in gold. The upward trend in gold continues. Any significant correction is likely to be seen as a buying opportunity, given the Fed's accommodative monetary policy and geopolitical uncertainty. Resistance levels: 4500, 4525 Support levels: 4475, 4470, 4466, 4452 Focus on the current trading range of 4475-4525. A false breakdown of support could attract buyers waiting for favorable prices. I do not rule out a retest of 4452-4442 before growth (against the backdrop of aggressive profit-taking). Best regards, R. Linda!

GOLD → Long squeeze support could strengthen the price to 4500FX:XAUUSD continues its aggressive rally. The price has reached a new high of 4497.5, leaving a small gap of $2.5 to 4500 (insurance against profit-taking???). A retest of support could renew interest in buying... Statements by US Treasury Secretary Bentsen about a possible transition to inflation targeting (instead of a fixed target of 2%) undermine confidence in the Fed's long-term policy. • The escalation of US sanctions against Venezuela (detention of tankers) and continued tensions in Ukraine and the Middle East are boosting demand for defensive assets. Today, US GDP data for the third quarter and durable goods orders are expected. Speeches by Fed members may cause increased volatility amid low liquidity (end of the year). The upward trend in gold continues, but in order to continue growing, the market may switch to liquidity hunting mode and form retests of support levels... Resistance levels: 4497.5, 4500, 4510 Support levels: 4470, 4460, 4450 The 4470 zone is a liquidity pool; a retest or long squeeze could resume the rally. However, I do not rule out that, against the backdrop of the news, gold may test 4460 - 4450 before continuing to grow. In the current situation, all attention is focused on the range of 4470 - 4500. Best regards, R. Linda!

SUIUSDT - Readiness for bearish distributionBINANCE:SUIUSDT is updating local lows after breaking through consolidation support. The market structure is weak (bearish), and the decline may continue... Bitcoin is consolidating in a symmetrical triangle. It is within a downtrend. A breakout of support will trigger a bearish rally. If the flagship of the crypto market begins to fall, altcoins may fall even lower. For SUI, within the D1 timeframe, there is potential for a fall to 1.3148 - 1.1163. SUIUSDT has a weak market structure: a downtrend, declining highs, updating local lows, breaking through consolidation support. If the bears keep the price below 1.4154, the altcoin's decline may continue towards the liquidity zone at 1.326 Resistance levels: 1.4154, 1.457, 1.4977 Support levels: 1.326 Bulls are not yet ready to make an effort to change the trend. The market is under selling pressure. Keeping the price below 1.4154 after breaking through the level could trigger further sell-offs towards a double bottom... Best regards, R. Linda!

USDCAD - Price breakdown from consolidation. Distribution...FX:USDCAD breaks through consolidation support amid a global downtrend and weak DXY The dollar index breaks through the local support area and enters a short zone, which may intensify the sell-off. The currency pair is consolidating below the previously broken level of 1.3737... Technically and fundamentally, the dollar is weak, and against this backdrop, the Canadian dollar may strengthen. This could be reflected in a subsequent decline in the currency pair if bears keep the price below 1.3737 Resistance levels: 1.3737, 1.3756 Support levels: 1.370, 1.365, 1.360 If bears keep the price below the triangle support, namely below the 1.3745 - 1.3737 zone, then in the short and medium term, the currency pair may fall to the specified target.

GOLD - We've updated ATH. What's next? A correction?FX:XAUUSD hit a new all-time high, approaching $4,425, for a bunch of reasons, one of which is increased interest in hedging against geopolitical risks... Fundamental situation: The US has increased sanctions pressure on Venezuela. Israel is considering options for attacking Iran's nuclear program. Russia-Ukraine negotiations show no progress. Weak US data (inflation and employment) have reinforced expectations of two Fed rate cuts in 2026. On Tuesday, US GDP data for the third quarter and durable goods orders are expected, as well as speeches by Fed members, which may adjust short-term dynamics. The combination of geopolitical uncertainty and soft monetary policy continues to support the upward trend. Resistance levels: 4420 Support levels: 4406, 4400, 4380 Any correction is likely to be limited as long as the current fundamental background remains unchanged. However, when entering the market, it is necessary to take into account the level of risk. Buying in the high zone is high risk. We are waiting for a pullback or correction to the indicated zone before making any decisions. Best regards, R. Linda!

APTUSDT - Correction and liquidity capture before the fall BINANCE:APTUSDT.P is making a countertrend move towards the zone of interest 1.66 - 1.68. Global and local trends are downward, and bearish pressure may do its job... Bitcoin is consolidating within a downward trend. A retest of resistance is forming; if bears keep the market under pressure again, the decline of the flagship will also increase pressure on the altcoin market. APT has been forming a global downward trend for quite some time. After updating the low to 1.400, we are seeing profit-taking and a rally to the zone of interest 1.66 - 1.68. A short squeeze could trigger a resumption of movement within the main trend. Resistance levels: 1.6623, 1.6873, 1.734 Support levels: 1.553, 1.5035 A retest of the specified resistance zone and the absence of bullish momentum could give us a false breakout, which in turn could trigger a reversal of the local downward movement...

BITCOIN - Manipulation and liquidity hunting before the crash BINANCE:BTCUSDT.P is stuck in the range of 85K - 90K. There is no liquidity in the market, but at the same time, the downward trend continues... Earlier, we discussed such a nuance as the breakdown of support for the upward local trend. The global trend is bearish, and this nuance generally indicates a weak market. In addition to this, there is no liquidity in the market: there has been no inflow of funds into the cryptocurrency market in the last few weeks, hence the current manipulations that have been taking place over the last few days. (A low-liquidity instrument is easy to control...) Technically, Bitcoin is within the trading range of 85,000-89,400, which is formed after the breakout of the support of the upward channel, i.e., in the short zone. A retest of 89-90K could lead to a short squeeze and a fall. Resistance levels: 89,400, 89,900, 90,600 Support levels: 85,000, 83,800 A short squeeze and liquidity capture relative to the specified resistance zone could trigger a further decline, provided that bears keep the market near the previously broken boundary of the upward line... Sincerely, R. Linda!

GOLD - Consolidation amid a bullish trend. To ATH?FX:XAUUSD , after retesting its ATH (to the 4375 zone), is falling amid weak US inflation data. The dollar is strengthening, but despite this, gold is in a bullish trend. US inflation (CPI) for November was lower than expected, but Trump's statements about the future “dovish” Fed chair are limiting the decline in gold. The market continues to expect the Fed to ease policy in 2026. Today, data on the US consumer confidence index will be released. Short-term pressure remains, but the fundamental background does not allow us to talk about a trend reversal. The market structure is bullish, but there is a magnet zone below: 4310 - 4300. MM is likely to test it before moving towards ATH and updating highs... Resistance levels: 4330, 4353, 4375 Support levels: 4308, 4300, 4291 The dollar is forming a temporary correction due to fundamental factors. A weak dollar will support gold... The 4308-4300 zone is a liquidity pool, and the market may test this area amid the dollar correction. A long squeeze could bring the market back to growth. Best regards, R. Linda!

SOLUSDT - Countertrend correction to resistanceBINANCE:SOLUSDT , after updating its low, is forming a correction to the resistance conglomerate, but will the bears be able to hold back the upward movement? Bitcoin is testing 90K but is currently unable to consolidate above this zone. This is having a negative impact on the entire market. SOL is testing the 125.5 zone of interest after updating its low. If the bears keep the price below this level, SOL may come under pressure. Two key areas of interest: 124.5 and 128.9. If 124.5 does not hold the market, then before falling, within the global downtrend, SOLANA may test the upper resistance. Resistance levels: 124.5, 128.9 Support levels: 120.15, 116.7 Global and local trends are downward. At the moment, a countertrend correction is forming, which may be stopped in the indicated areas. A false breakout could trigger a decline. Best regards, R. Linda!

GOLD - A pullback ahead of the news. Will there be growth?FX:XAUUSD is hitting resistance at 4350-4360 and forming a correction amid expected inflation and initial jobless claims data Mixed US employment data supports expectations of Fed policy easing. The market is pricing in two rate cuts in 2026 versus one in the Fed's forecasts, which supports the bullish trend for the metal. Today's US CPI release will be a key trigger for reassessing the Fed's rate trajectory. Expectations of tighter policy from the Bank of Japan and market reassessment are creating overall caution. A short-term correction in gold is possible, but the overall uptrend remains intact amid the Fed's dovish monetary policy and global uncertainty. Resistance levels: 4337, 4353 Support levels: 4311, 4300 Technically and fundamentally, the situation is favorable for continued growth. Corrections allow the market to gather liquidity before movement, however, there is news ahead that will determine further movement. I expect a retest of 4311 - 4300 before growth to 4353 - 4380.

ETHEREUM - Hunting for liquidity before the decline continuesBINANCE:ETHUSDT quickly returned to its decline after a short squeeze based on market manipulation and updated its low to 2805. Looking at the daily timeframe, we can see that ETH is in a downtrend. An attempt to break the bearish trend resulted in another decline, which has been going on for more than a week. Bitcoin fell victim to the reverse Christmas rally yesterday and formed a rather interesting daily bar on Wednesday, indicating a weak market. Global and local trends are downward. Ethereum is pausing after a bearish rally. The 2805 pause zone could trigger a correction to the zone of interest — the border of the previously broken consolidation zone of 2890-2936. Resistance levels: 2890, 2940, 2975 Support levels: 2805, 2715 A countertrend movement may form a false breakout before a further decline. Given the current technical situation, it is not rational to consider buying. We are looking for opportunities to sell... Sincerely, R. Linda!

GOLD → Growth may continue after correction...FX:XAUUSD is trading in a sideways range amid mixed signals: weak macro data and concerns about an AI bubble are supporting the metal, but the moderate strengthening of the dollar is limiting its growth... Fundamental situation • Weak data from China: industrial production and retail sales showed the lowest growth in several years. • Mixed data from the US: NFP for November: +64K (better than forecast), but October revised to -105K. Unemployment rose to 4.6%. • Expectations of Fed policy easing remain, especially against the backdrop of the possible appointment of a new “dovish” chair (Christopher Waller is being considered). The fundamental backdrop remains favorable for gold, but new triggers are needed to break out of the range. Attention is shifting to US inflation data, which will set the direction before the end of the year. Technically, gold may test key support before attempting to rise to retest 4335-4350. Resistance levels: 4335, 4353, 4380 Support levels: 4311, 4300, 4329 The trend is bullish, and the fundamental background is favorable. If the bulls keep the price above 4320-4310 within the current correction, the growth may continue... Best regards, R. Linda!

USDJPY - Triangle (consolidation before news) FX:USDJPY formed a false breakout of the symmetrical triangle consolidation support. An ideal maneuver ahead of the news and expectations of a positive outcome for the JPY. “The Bank of Japan may raise interest rates for the first time in 11 months at its meeting on December 19.” Against this backdrop, the currency pair may test the 156.00 area before a possible decline if the Bank of Japan takes this step. The Japanese national currency may strengthen, putting pressure on the dollar, which has been rising since yesterday's US session... Technically, the zone of interest for a decline is 156.0. A false breakout is possible before a decline to support. Resistance levels: 156.10 Support levels: 155.0, 154. 5 The strengthening of the yen may put pressure on the dollar. But again, it is worth paying attention to the context regarding the policy of the Japanese regulator. Further movement depends on the news. Best regards, R. Linda!

GOLD - Retest of key support ahead of newsFX:XAUUSD is falling during the Asian session, retreating from $4,350 — its highest level since late October — amid optimism over a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine and ahead of US employment data. Trump's statements about the approaching peace agreement are reducing demand for safe-haven assets. The probability of a Fed rate cut in January is about 77%, with two easing measures expected in 2026. Expectations of a dovish Fed chair appointment continue to put pressure on the dollar. • Today, October NFP data will be released, which may confirm the weakening of the labor market • On Thursday, US inflation data will be released The current decline looks like a correction and profit-taking. The uptrend remains intact unless employment data exceeds expectations. Any further decline could be seen as a buying opportunity Resistance levels: 4292, 4317 Support levels: 4265, 4255 If the news is positive, which will only reinforce expectations of an aggressive rate cut, gold's growth after retesting key support may continue. Otherwise, the correction may continue. However, the 4265-4255 area plays an important role and needs to be monitored. Best regards, R. Linda!

Bitcoin is breaking the consolidation support and entering a distribution phase. The decline has been temporarily halted by support at 85,500, and the market may correct to 87,000-88,000 (the break-even zone) before continuing its decline within the current trend. The target the market may strive for is 84K-80K.

GOLD → Consolidation before reaching ATH FX:XAUUSD has been rising for the fifth consecutive day amid a weakening dollar and expectations of a dovish Fed policy. The market is testing intermediate resistance before reaching ATH. The Fed cut rates by 25 basis points, but the market expects two cuts in 2026, not one, as stated in the regulator's forecasts. The possible appointment of a new “dovish” Fed chair is putting pressure on the dollar. The increase in US unemployment claims (to 236K) confirms fears of a slowdown in the labor market. Tomorrow, US employment (NFP) and retail sales data will be released, followed by inflation (CPI) data on Thursday. Friday: Bank of Japan decision. The results could significantly adjust expectations for interest rates. The upward trend in gold continues, but its stability will be tested by macro data. Weak employment and inflation figures will support growth, while strong data could trigger a correction. Resistance levels: 4353, 4380, 4400 Support levels: 4329, 4305 The market may consolidate before breaking through the nearest resistance. Locally - 4333, 4329, 4318. The bullish trend may continue afterwards. Best regards, R. Linda!

GOLD - Distribution phase. Target - ATH (4380), 4400...FX:XAUUSD is rallying after breaking through consolidation resistance. The fundamental background is positive, with the train heading for an all-time high. Expectations of a soft Fed policy remain, with the market pricing in two rate cuts in 2026. India's pension fund regulator has allowed investments in gold and silver ETFs. An increase in US unemployment claims (+44,000) has heightened fears of a slowdown in the labor market. A reversal in the Bank of Japan's policy (rate hike) and a pause by the ECB are boosting the appeal of gold. Any correction is likely to be short-term and will be met with support from buyers. The baseline scenario remains bullish amid soft monetary policy and a weakening dollar. Technically, it is dangerous to sell in the current market; it is worth looking for buying opportunities after corrections or pullbacks... Resistance levels: 4325, 4335, 4380 Support levels: 4300, 4285, 4265 The rally phase is quite aggressive due to the long period of consolidation that the market has been in. All possible factors are supporting growth. In such a market, one can only buy on pullbacks. I expect a pullback from the indicated zone, within which growth to ATH can be considered. Sincerely, R.

Bitcoin failed to consolidate above 91800 - 94200, a false breakout was formed, and the price returned to the range.

Currently, a distribution phase is forming relative to the specified pattern and consolidation at 91850 - 94200.

LULU 1D - stretching into a comebackOn the daily chart of Lululemon Athletica (LULU), a clean AB=CD pattern is forming, signaling a potential end to the correction and the beginning of a new upward wave. The price has tested the strong buy zone between 164–167, aligned with a major daily support level and rising volume - a classic setup indicating that buyers are regaining control. Technically , the structure is highly symmetrical, RSI shows a bullish divergence, and the 50-day moving average is starting to turn upward - all suggesting a possible trend reversal. The first upside target for this pattern is $230, followed by a second target at $340, which corresponds to the 1.272 and 1.618 Fibonacci extensions. From a fundamental standpoint, Lululemon remains a powerhouse in the premium activewear market, maintaining strong brand loyalty even amid competition from Nike and Alo. The company continues to expand its men’s line and footwear segment, which now accounts for over 25% of total revenue. International growth remains robust, with new stores opening in South Korea, the UAE, and Germany. Lululemon’s shift toward higher-margin online sales and more efficient logistics continues to strengthen its profitability. In the latest quarterly report (September 2025), revenue grew by 9% year-over-year, and EPS came in above Wall Street expectations. High customer retention - over 90% repeat purchase rate - and stable gross margins create a solid foundation for a mid-term recovery in the stock. Tactical plan: watch for entries within the 164–167 buy zone, consider partial profit-taking near $230, and target $340 if momentum extends. Just like in yoga, patience and balance lead to the best results.

GOLD → Positive fundamental background. Focus on 4200 FX:XAUUSD is testing the $4,250 level amid news momentum related to interest rate cuts. The fundamental backdrop is improving, with the dollar entering a downward trend... The Fed cut rates by 25 basis points to 3.75%, as expected. Powell's tone was cautious rather than hawkish, which weakened the dollar and Treasury yields. The market expects two rate cuts next year, compared to one in the Fed's forecasts - Focus has shifted to US employment data (jobless claims). The next key risk will be next week's NFP data. The Fed's decision provided support for gold, but for growth above $4250, confirmation of a weakening labor market in upcoming reports will be needed. Technically, the focus is on the 4200-4220 zone. Resistance levels: 4220, 4250, 4260 Support levels: 4200, 4180, 4175 Consolidation above 4200 will confirm the bullish sentiment, while a breakout and consolidation above 4220 will open up a new chance for growth towards the resistance of the range. I do not rule out the possibility of a retest the support of the range at 4181 before moving up (the price is still in a sideways trend). Best regards, R. Linda!

AUDUSD → Readiness for distribution within the uptrend FX:AUDUSD breaks through the resistance of a wide trading range (consolidation) and is preparing for growth. Important news ahead... Ahead of the Fed's interest rate meeting, the dollar broke its upward trend and is storming support, hinting at a readiness to fall. The probability of a rate cut is 90%, and a fall in the dollar could trigger growth in the currency pair. The currency pair is breaking through the consolidation resistance at 0.6628 and forming consolidation in a long zone. A trigger of 0.6649 appears on the chart - a breakout and close above this zone will trigger growth and a distribution phase. Resistance levels: 0.6649, 0.67, 0.68 Support levels: 0.6628, 0.6581 Before rising, the price may test support (the previously broken trading range boundary). However, a breakout and close above 0.6649 could trigger a distribution phase towards 0.67-0.68, especially against the backdrop of a weak dollar... Best regards, R. Linda!

GOLD → Consolidation ahead of the Fed's interest rate decision FX:XAUUSD is rebounding from resistance at the local range of 4220 and heading towards support at the liquidity zone of 4175. Ahead is the Fed meeting on interest rates, where rates are likely to be lowered. What to expect? The probability of a 25 bp rate cut today is ≈90%. JOLTS job vacancy data reduced the chances of easing in January to ≈20%. Attention is shifting to the Fed's rate forecasts for 2026 and the tone of Powell's comments — the balance of votes in the FOMC (the ratio of “hawks” to “doves”) will determine the further course. In the current case, it is worth looking not only at the fact of the rate cut, which is most likely already priced in. What is important to us are the regulator's comments and political stance. If they say that the pace of rate cuts will slow down in the future, the dollar may fly up and gold down. If they support further rate cuts, the dollar will go down and gold up. Resistance levels: 4220, 4266 Support levels: 4200, 4175, 4165 It would be a shock to the market if rates were cut by 50 points; the chances are slim, but they exist. In this case, gold would soar. However, the most likely scenario is described above. Technically, I expect a retest of the trading range support; in the worst case, gold may fall to 4140 - 4120 - 4100 before rising. High volatility is possible in the evening! Best regards, R. Linda!
