Gold at a Crossroads: Can It Hold Above $3,000 or Pull Back?Gold Update – 17 March 2025
Gold recently reached new all-time highs around $3,000 last week, encountering a reaction at this psychological level. Today, the latest Retail Sales data was released, coming in below expectations.
Potential market movements:
• Gold may revisit the previous high of $3,004.
• A move below $2,980 could lead to a test of the $2,955 area.
• A deeper retracement could bring prices toward the $2,930 level.
For Gold to sustain movement above $3,004, market participants may look for a series of confirmed intraday closes above this level.

Gold’s Record Run: Is 3000 the Next Battleground?Gold 14-Mar-2025:
During this week, Gold moved above the first consolidation area at 2930 following the CPI data release. The next day, price also surpassed previous highs at 2955, reaching a new record at 2993, amid lower inflation data (both CPI & PPI) and ongoing trade-war uncertainties.
As for potential scenarios:
• Gold may trade lower to retest the 2955 level, depending on market sentiment and liquidity.
• It is important to monitor the psychological 3000 level, as price action could experience increased volatility around this area.
• Price action could also see a deeper pullback to 2940 before potential buyers step in at better prices, though this remains subject to broader market conditions.

EUR/USD Long Utilizing 4H EB (Equilibrium Block)Since the market opened on Sunday EU has been on an uptrend. It also broke past the previous 2 week's resistance/supply zone and retested it using it as a demand zone on Tuesday morning during the New York AM session. Then proceeds to create a strong bullish candle during the NY PM session that same day. This then starts the process for the equilibrium block. The way I identify EBs is by making sure there is a 3 candle model. The first candle must be a strong bullish or bearish candle while the second candle is the opposite/a retest and then the third candle must be an engulfing candle. So for this example it is a bullish set up so the 3 candle model was bullish bearish then bullish engulfing. If it was a bearish set up it would be bearish bullish then bearish engulfing. I placed my stop loss under the smallest wick on the engulfing candle and gave it room to breath by putting it at an institutional level. It took over a day but this trade ended up hitting all profit targets!
