A Shining Year for Gold: Geopolitical Risks and Economic DynamicThe year 2024 may be a bright year for gold, but it coincides with a period of increasing geopolitical risks. Global political and economic uncertainties, while unsettling investors, may boost demand for safe-haven assets such as gold.
Another notable feature of this year is the decline in inflation and interest rates. It is expected that inflation will be kept under control, and central banks will opt for interest rate cuts. The -0.75% interest rate reduction can be considered as part of efforts for economic recovery.
Gold has traditionally been a sought-after investment in environments characterized by low inflation and interest rates. Therefore, the anticipated interest rate cut in 2024 may support gold prices. However, the persistent presence of geopolitical risks remains another crucial factor influencing the value of gold.
Investors will carefully monitor the performance of gold in 2024, taking into account both geopolitical developments and economic indicators in this complex and dynamic environment. In the face of potential risks, a diversified investment strategy may provide a more secure position.
-------------------
When I look at the gold mining index, I see a very positive increase.
-------------------
The graph of gold in 12-6-3 month time frames gives very positive clues that the price will rise.

CARR – Bullish Breakout Toward Gap and ATHCarrier Global NYSE:CARR has closed above a key resistance zone near $76.50–$77.00 , indicating a possible breakout setup in progress. This move comes after a Golden Cross , where the 50 SMA crossed above the 200 SMA — a long-term bullish signal.
🔍 Technical Highlights:
✅ Golden Cross: Bullish momentum building.
✅ Breakout level: Price broke above horizontal resistance zone.
🔄 Next step: Wait for a potential retest of the breakout zone.
🔊 High volume on the breakout and retest would increase the strength and reliability of the setup.
🎯 Target Levels:
First Target (TP1): ~$80.00 — near the top of the existing gap.
Second Target (TP2): ~$83.32 — the current All-Time High (ATH).
🛡 Trade Plan:
Entry idea: After a clean retest of the breakout level with supportive volume.
Stop-loss: Below the retest zone or under 50 SMA (~$72-74 area).
Invalidation: If price falls back below resistance on high volume.
Conclusion:
CARR shows a strong breakout setup after a Golden Cross. A confirmed retest with volume could open the door toward the gap fill and new all-time highs.

Inverse H&S Breakout! EURGBP Eyes Resistance Zone Amid Eurozone EURGBP ( OANDA:EURGBP ) is moving between two Support zone(0.83870 GBP-0.83500 GBP) and Resistance zone(0.8511 GBP-0.8470 GBP) .
In terms of Classic Technical Analysis , EURGBP has managed to break the Neckline of the Inverse Head and Shoulders Pattern .
I expect EURGBP to rise to at least 0.84911 GBP and attack the Resistance zone(0.8511 GBP- 0.8470 GBP) .
-----------------------------------------------------------
EURGBP Fundamental Analysis:
1. Eurozone (EUR) Overview :
The Eurozone economy has shown moderate recovery signs after pandemic disruptions.
Inflation remains a concern, but the European Central Bank (ECB) is expected to maintain or even tighten monetary policy gradually to combat inflation.
Economic data such as GDP growth and industrial production are mixed but generally indicate slow growth.
Political stability in the Eurozone is relatively steady compared to the UK.
The ECB’s forward guidance leans towards cautious optimism, supporting EUR strength over time.
2. United Kingdom (GBP) Overview :
The UK economy faces several challenges, including slower growth prospects compared to the Eurozone.
Inflation has been high but the Bank of England (BoE) has been raising interest rates aggressively to control it.
Political uncertainties related to Brexit aftermath, trade deals, and fiscal policies have created some volatility.
Consumer confidence and retail sales have shown signs of weakness in recent months.
Overall, the BoE’s hawkish stance is strong, but economic fundamentals are less robust compared to the Eurozone.
3. Comparative Factors Favoring EUR Long :
The Eurozone's relatively better economic stability and growth prospects support EUR strength.
UK economic challenges and political uncertainties weaken GBP.
ECB’s more gradual tightening approach may prevent shocks, making EUR attractive.
Brexit-related trade issues continue to pose risks for GBP.
4. Risks to Consider :
Unexpected ECB dovish moves could weaken EUR.
Positive UK economic surprises or faster-than-expected BoE tightening might strengthen GBP.
External shocks like geopolitical tensions can affect risk sentiment, impacting both currencies.

$ETH Pressing Resistance – A Break Above Could Fly!CRYPTOCAP:ETH Update
Ethereum is looking strong right now.
The price is pushing against a key resistance zone near $2,725 and forming higher lows showing pressure is building for a breakout.

Support to watch on the downside is around $2,465 if price pulls back.
Keep an eye on ETH, this breakout could be big.

Bitcoin MA 50 crosses 100If history repeats, this could be even bigger gains soon ahead. The blue MA 50 just crossed the orange MA 100 which happened in Oct '24 as well as Oct '23 -- this time happening so soon could defy historical pattern, but with a possible Fed interest rate cut in the works, this could be huge.
After the recent Fed announcement that there would be no interest rate cuts at this time, the reason given was that the market was holding steady, though a recession was not entirely ruled out. If a recession starts to rear its ugly head before June 17th Fed meeting, they may change their outlook and enact interest rate cuts to ensure the economy can continue unscathed. Since Trump has walked back tariffs on China and is still working with the rest of the world to lower tariffs, the interest rates may not be cut in June.
What does this mean for Bitcoin?
A recession is still on the horizon, even without rate cuts and with lowered tariffs. The damage has already been done by tariffs, enough so that reports of impending empty shelves soon to hit stores this month is still a concern. People flock to other investment strategies when the market is so uncertain, hence Gold and Bitcoin getting their boosts recently.
It's my opinion that Bitcoin will continue to grow in price as investors scramble to keep their portfolios on an uptrend. The MA 50 and MA 100 crossing is a great signal and gives me confidence in a continuing uptrend.

TAO/USDTBittensor ( BYBIT:TAOUSDT.P ) is a decentralized network that merges blockchain technology with AI, enabling a peer-to-peer marketplace for machine learning models. Launched in 2021, TAO has quickly gained traction for its innovative approach. The project operates with a capped supply, ensuring transparency and fair distribution of rewards. As of now, TAO trades at approximately $319, with a market capitalization of $4.09 billion and a circulating supply of 7.38 million tokens.
Bittensor (TAO) is currently trading within a downward channel. Before any potential upward movement, a retest of the $300 level is likely. Once the price reclaims the range, the next target stands at $420, where an unchecked VWAP awaits. The following key technical level is positioned at $520. In green higlited areas are untested VWAP.

GBPNZD / looks good to buy Given the overall market direction, which remains extremely bullish across multiple timeframes, this trade has a high probability of continuing its upward trajectory.
Looking specifically at the 4-hour timeframe, price initially made a strong push to the downside, retested a key area of interest, yet ultimately closed above critical levels—including the monthly and weekly pivots, Fibonacci levels, and the 50-period moving average—forming a high-confluence zone.
With recent signs of exhaustion, price may once again retest the previous 4-hour resistance zone, as its identified on the chart.
SOL - Bullish or Bearish?SOL seems to be facing an unstable head-and-shoulders pattern, with the possibility of striking key support levels. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) shows that SOL struggles to cross the zero line, indicating bearish sentiment. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has been coming down from overbought conditions since December 3rd. The 20-day moving average (20ma) and the 200-day moving average (200ma) are converging, potentially undoing the golden cross formation observed on October 13th. This could signal a possible reversal. It's possible that we might see a shakeout followed by a bounce to the upside, or SOL may consolidate at key support levels before bouncing. Keep an eye on its movements.

Easyjet ready to fly?Easyjet records better financial statements, looking at the report is possible to read that LSE:EZJ flew about 5% increase in seats when compared with last year.
The revenue increased by 14% this mainly because of the increase of 8% in capacity. Looking over the financial indicator it's noticeable an increase in revenue and the difference compared to 13 week moving average.
The price breakout for the second time above the top of ascending triangle following for a cross over the 200ema. The yellow resistance is the strongest one that still needs to be broken.
ADX is already above DMI- and being at 19,49 can show some strength confirming the DMI+.
EFI barely dropped below zero when the price failed to cross the EMA changing direction above zero rapidly.
Benchmarking a trend with a moving average (Example: Gold)They say a bad workman blames his tools.
Quite often, good work means using the right tools.
In a trend you need to use trend-following tools - and the most famous indicator is the moving average.
When it's a fast-moving trend, you need to use averages taken over shorter periods (e.g. 20 day SMA > 200 day SMA). Likewise a slower trend needs averages taken over longer periods (e.g. 20 week > 50 day).
Gold has just bounced off the 20 week moving average for the fourth time. The market is clearly benchmarking this trend according to this specific average.
So while the price is above this moving average the trend is intact - and when it eventually breaks below it will be an important signal that the strength of the trend has weakened - and could be about to reverse.
On the daily chart a rising trendline has broken but we would argue the reason the rebound off the low has been so strong is because the price rebounded off the 20 week moving average.
For now our bias is bullish but there are no good risk:reward opportunities to buy and it remains unclear whether the short term uptrend can continue after the trendline break
