Gold Watching 3,360 Support as Powell Dovish Tone Weighs on USDHey Traders, in tomorrow's trading session we are monitoring Gold for a buying opportunity around 3,360 zone, Gold (XAUUSD) recently broke above the 3,360 resistance, turning it into an important support level to watch on any pullback. A retracement into this zone could help determine whether the breakout has strength to extend toward higher levels. On the fundamental side, Fed Chair Powell struck a dovish tone, signaling support for a potential September rate cut, citing lower inflation pressures and risks in the labor market. This backdrop keeps USD under pressure and maintains a bullish bias for Gold in the near term. Monitoring price action around 3,360 to assess whether buyers defend this level or if deeper consolidation unfolds. Trade safe, Joe.

GOLD → Consolidation to continue growth towards 3400FX:XAUUSD is updating its local maximum but is facing pressure in the 3375-3400 zone. The market is bullish, but the dollar is consolidating. Traders are waiting for signals and stronger drivers... Gold resumes growth, approaching the $3400 level, amid a weakening dollar and falling US government bond yields. Key drivers: Trump's new threats of tariffs on Chinese goods and his attack on the Fed (removal of Lisa Cook) are undermining confidence in US assets (pressure on the dollar). Soft Fed rhetoric: Expectations of a September rate cut have strengthened after Powell's speech. Key risks: The dollar's recovery amid trade threats, US economic data may adjust rate expectations, and the escalation of the trade war supports demand for safe assets The short-term dynamics of gold will depend on the balance between the Fed's soft monetary policy and trade tensions. Resistance levels: 3379, 3400 Support levels: 3369, 3362, 3358 As part of the correction, the market may test local support zones located within the current trading range, after which gold may return to attack 3375-3379 to continue its growth towards 3400. Best regards, R. Linda!

BNBUSDT → Strong altcoin. Correction before growth.BINANCE:BNBUSDT.P , after forming an ATH, entered a correction, which may stop at 10-15%, after which the market may enter a recovery phase. The coin looks quite strong, especially against the backdrop of a bullish trend... BNB looks quite stronger than Bitcoin. While the flagship is forming a deep correction, the altcoin is testing local support within the bullish trend. BNB has quite positive dynamics. There is a strong bullish trend, the ATH has been updated, but a correction is forming, which is 8% of the permissible 30% (there is still room to move). The liquidity zone of 820-815 may serve as an area of interest. By the time the mirror level and strong area of interest are retested, Bitcoin may move into a recovery phase, which in turn will trigger growth in BNB. Support levels: 820, 816, 796 Resistance levels: 861, 884, 901 At the moment, the entire cryptocurrency market is in a downtrend. As part of this cycle, BNB may test support at 820-816. A false breakdown of support and consolidation above this level may indicate that bulls are interested in further growth. This could trigger a recovery within the main trend. Best regards, R. Linda!

GOLD → Correction before continuing distribution to 3400FX:XAUUSD entered a correction phase at the start of the session after Friday's rally, triggered by positive fundamentals... Gold is falling after Friday's rise, triggered by Powell's unexpectedly dovish comments in Jackson Hole. He confirmed the Fed's readiness to cut rates in September amid risks to employment and economic growth. The probability of a September rate cut has risen to 88%. Gold is correcting after a sharp jump, but the downside potential is limited. Market attention is focused on PCE inflation data this week Technically, the decline in gold prices may be temporary as the market continues to reassess the prospects for the Fed's dovish policy. The key factor will be Friday's PCE data, which will confirm or adjust expectations for an aggressive rate cut. Support levels: 3358, 3350, 3340 Resistance levels: 3375, 3405 The 3358-3350 area acts as a strong support zone, and it is also worth paying attention to the previously broken downward consolidation resistance. The market may test the support zone before rising, and a false breakdown and consolidation above the support level could have a bullish impact on the market... Best regards, R. Linda!

BITCOIN → Market potential change. Chance for growth to 125K...BINANCE:BTCUSDT , after a false breakdown of support, which we had been preparing for in my last idea, with the support of dovish hints from Powell, soared from 112K to 117K. What's next??? After Powell's speech and the shift in the fundamental background to positive, BTC broke the local bearish structure, forming a rally to 117K. The market exhausted its potential and, against the backdrop of the approaching weekend and a decline in liquidity, entered a correction phase. However, the relatively positive fundamental background should be taken into account when making further decisions. Lower interest rates could support the market... Technically, after retesting the 112K zone and forming a false breakdown, Bitcoin changed market sentiment. The capture of liquidity and the breakdown of the local downward structure changes the technical situation in favor of buyers. Potential areas of interest could be 117.8, 120.27, and 125K Resistance levels: 117K, 117.86K, 120.27K Support levels: 114.6K, 111.9K If, during the correction, the bulls manage to keep the price above the upper limit of the local trading range, i.e. above the downward channel and above the 114.600 zone, then interest in buying may increase. The market has the potential to test the resistance of the global trading range... Best regards, R. Linda!

GOLD → Consolidation and news. What are the chances for growth?FX:XAUUSD is consolidating in a symmetrical triangle pattern. Market uncertainty remains high. The global trend is bullish, while the local trend is neutral. What can we expect from gold? Gold is falling ahead of Powell's speech in Jackson Hole. The dollar is strengthening on strong US economic data (housing sales and PMI growth), which reduces the likelihood of an early easing of Fed policy. Key factors: Powell may confirm a cautious approach to rate cuts. The probability of a rate cut in September has fallen to 75%. The rise of the dollar as a “safe haven” is putting pressure on gold Scenarios after the speech: Hawkish tone from Powell → dollar rises → gold falls below $3300. Soft signal → dollar correction → gold recovery Technically , the gold casino continues and it is difficult to determine in advance which way the symmetrical triangle will break, but if we bet on a bullish trend and the likelihood of an imminent interest rate cut, the most likely scenario is a rebound from the support zone followed by a breakout of resistance and a rise to local levels Resistance levels: 3350, 3358, 3370 Support levels: 3323, 3320, 3315 A false breakout of the key support level, which is being defended quite aggressively by the bulls, could trigger an active recovery phase. However, it is important to keep an eye on Powell's speech, as well as Trump's, who will also be commenting this afternoon. Best regards, R. Linda!

BITCOIN → Retest 112K - 110K before growthBINANCE:BTCUSDT.P is stuck within the trading range of 112K - 123K. The false breakout of the ATH ended with a reversal of the local trend and a bearish distribution phase, which may target the liquidity zone at 112 - 110K. The market remains bullish, with no fundamental changes for the cryptocurrency market and the situation remaining positive. Technically, we are seeing a countertrend correction within the bullish trend. Bitcoin is in a distribution phase. A local downward trend is forming, directed towards the zone of interest 112 - 110K. After a local upward correction, the downward movement may continue due to an imbalance of forces and a high level of profit-taking. Globally, on D1-W1, Bitcoin is within a neutral trading range within a bullish trend. A retest of the liquidity zone of 112K-110K may end with a long squeeze and a fairly aggressive reaction from buyers, but this can only be judged after the fact, following a retest of the specified zone. Resistance levels: 114.600, 115680, 117000 Support levels: 111910, 110400 The downward movement is purposefully heading towards the zone of interest. Earlier, in early August, the market tested the specified level (previous ATH), but technically did not reach the liquidity zones. There is a fairly high chance of a retest of 112 - 110K before the market attempts to grow. Best regards, R. Linda!

PENDLEUSDT → Retest of the 5.0 liquidity zone before rising to 7BINANCE:PENDLEUSDT is still consolidating, but is preparing to enter a correction phase, which could be triggered by a breakdown the 5.23 support level. Correction is a vital stage for further growth. Bitcoin has entered a correction phase, which in turn is triggering a correction in altcoins. PENDLE is testing support at 5.23, and a break of this support level, which is already being tested for the sixth time, could trigger a price decline to the liquidity zone of 5.01 - 4.72 PENDLE looks quite positive in the medium term, the coin is strong and continues to form a bullish trend. The current correction is aimed at accumulating potential before continuing growth, which may resume after retesting the support zone. Resistance levels: 5.833, 6.42 Support levels: 5.23, 5.013, 4.719 On the weekly chart, PENDLE is consolidating above the strong support level of 5.013. As part of the correction, the market may confirm this support and continue its growth towards the ATH from the mirror level. Best regards, R. Linda!

EURUSD Testing 1.16650 in Descending Channel as DXY Holds 98.100Hey Traders, in today's trading session we are monitoring EURUSD for a selling opportunity around 1.16650 zone, EURUSD continues to trade inside a descending channel, with price correcting upward toward 1.16650, a key resistance zone aligned with channel structure. At the same time, the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) remains in an uptrend and is approaching 98.100 support. With recent inflation readings running high, markets may expect a more hawkish Federal Reserve, which could support further USD strength.

LDOUSDT → Hunting for liquidity ahead of a declineBINANCE:LDOUSDT.P , having failed to reach the zone of interest 1.250 - 1.233, has entered a phase of local rally or manipulation before a possible decline aimed at consolidating potential before long-term growth. Bitcoin looks weak and, after a correction, may continue to fall to the coveted target of 112 - 110K. After a strong pump, LDO has been falling for two weeks in a dump phase. In the long term, the market may test 1/2 of the bullish momentum and the strong support level of 1.179 before resuming the pump to 1.62 - 1.97. Since the opening of the session, we have been observing manipulation, the goal of which is most likely the liquidity zone of 1.36 - 1.36. The situation may end with a liquidity grab, a false breakout, and a further decline with a subsequent update of the low. Resistance levels: 1.36, 1.37, 1.44 Support levels: 1.296, 1.2614, 1.2336 Technically, the price is still consolidating and intrarange trading is likely to continue. A false breakout of resistance could trigger a decline, in which case 1.26 - 1.23 could be considered a target, while a false break of 1.17 - 1.23 could trigger a global rise. Best regards, R. Linda!

AUDUSD Tests 0.64400 as DXY Strengthens on Fed BetsHey Traders, in today's trading session we are monitoring AUDUSD for a selling opportunity around 0.64400 zone, AUDUSD is correcting higher within its broader downtrend, with price approaching the 0.64400 resistance area. This zone aligns with prior supply and could be pivotal in determining whether bearish momentum resumes or a deeper retracement unfolds. The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) recently broke above the 98.700 key resistance, reinforcing its bullish bias. With U.S. inflation still elevated, markets are focused on potential hawkish commentary from the Federal Reserve at the Jackson Hole symposium — a factor that could further strengthen the dollar and weigh on AUDUSD. Price action around 0.64400 will be critical in assessing whether sellers reassert control or the correction continues.

GOLD → Breakthrough of downward resistance, news ahead...FX:XAUUSD is recovering after a fairly prolonged decline, and there are signs of bullish sentiment on the chart, but caution is advised as important news is ahead... Gold is in a holding pattern. Its short-term fate depends on today's US economic data and, to a greater extent, on tomorrow's speech by Powell, which will set the tone for the future. The price is recovering slightly after a recent decline, but is trading cautiously. The market is awaiting the release of S&P Global's business activity indices (PMI), which will assess the strength of the US economy and influence Fed rate forecasts. Another key event of the week is the Fed chair's speech in Jackson Hole on Friday. His comments on future interest rates will determine the further movement of gold and the dollar. Technically, we are seeing a rebound from the support of a global symmetrical triangle, with bulls still in the market but waiting for further signals. Locally, we are seeing positive dynamics — a breakout of downward resistance and consolidation in the buying zone... Resistance levels: 3350, 3370 Support levels: 3331, 3315 The conditions for further growth should be a positive fundamental background and the bulls holding the price above key support. A retest of the trading range boundary (0.5f) is possible before growth. Best regards, R. Linda!

GBPJPY → False breakout and reversal patternFX:GBPJPY is forming a false breakout of strong resistance from D1. A trading range (consolidation) is forming, and market participants are fighting for the 199.0 - 200.0 zone. GBPJPY is consolidating at strong resistance. A fierce battle is underway for the 199.0-200.0 zone. Focus is on the Japanese yen, which is consolidating (against a backdrop of dollar stagnation). A decline in the JPY could trigger a fall in the currency pair. The volume density point is located above 199.5. Locally, the price has confirmed a bearish structure, and a retest is forming on increased volatility (manipulation). A false breakout of resistance will return the price to support, which in turn will increase the chances of a further decline Resistance levels: 199.5, 200.28 Support levels: 198.67, 197.68 A double top reversal pattern is forming on the chart, indicating the presence of strong limit resistance, but the pattern has not yet been realized. The trigger is consolidation support. Locally, I expect a decline from 199.5 to retest the trigger, the breakout of which could trigger the reversal pattern. Best regards, R. Linda!

GOLD → Correction and retest of a previously broken level...FX:XAUUSD breaks through the support of the local consolidation “symmetrical triangle” and falls to a minimum of 3311... Gold remained at a three-week low of around $3,300 in Asian trading on Wednesday as markets awaited the Fed minutes and Powell's speech in Jackson Hole. The dollar is strengthening on expectations that the Fed chair will reject the idea of aggressive rate cuts despite weak labor market and inflation data. The probability of a rate cut in September is estimated at 85%. Strong housing market data and news about negotiations on Ukraine provided additional support to the dollar. Powell's comments on Friday remain the key factor for gold, while current movements are mainly technical in nature. Resistance levels: 3328, 3331, 3345 Support levels: 3314, 3300, 3328 Technically, a correction is forming after a bearish rally. As part of the correction, the price may test the zone of interest, which is represented by local resistance levels. Distribution could bring the price to 3300-3270. Best regards, R. Linda!

GOLD → The market is waiting for a kick (driver). ConsolidationFX:XAUUSD is in a stalemate. A “casino” pattern is forming in the form of a symmetrical triangle. The odds are 50/50, and everything depends on the fundamental background and the emergence of a driver. Gold is stuck in a symmetrical triangle - consolidation. Gold is trading around $3330 on Tuesday, remaining in a range with a downward bias amid caution among traders ahead of the Fed minutes. Technically, it is possible to trade the breakout from consolidation with the price consolidating above a certain level, i.e., post-factum. Optimism after the meeting between Trump and Zelensky, who promised to end the conflict, is reducing demand for safe assets, but expectations of a Fed rate cut this year are supporting the metal. An additional factor is the confirmation of the US rating by S&P. Powell's speech on Friday will be a key driver, while the dollar has partially recovered after its recent decline. Resistance levels: 3349.8, 3370.7 Support levels: 3331, 3315, 3301 Volatility has been very low over the past few days, with the market waiting for someone to kick-start movement. Fundamental factors are contradictory, and technically, gold looks uncertainly weak. Based on this, I expect that a retest of the nearest resistance could end with a downward breakdown from consolidation. Sincerely, R. Linda!

EURCAD → Countertrend correction before growthFX:EURCAD is forming a correction to the support zone against the backdrop of temporary stagnation of the euro, which is the previous extreme from July 1... EURCAD is forming a countertrend correction within the global bullish trend. The euro is gradually rising amid the fall of the dollar. The Canadian dollar is consolidating below strong medium-term resistance and may continue its decline, which will only support the bullish trend in EURCAD Technically, the price is entering a liquidity zone, with a point of interest at 1.61 - 1.609, locally at 1.61225, where the upward support line also passes... Support levels: 1.6122, 1.6100 Resistance levels: 1.618, 1.625 The main focus is on the specified support zones. If, after a false breakdown of the point of interest, the bulls are able to keep the price above the support zone, then in this case we can expect a possible continuation of the trend. Otherwise, the local trend may be broken and the market will go into a deep correction... Best regards, R. Linda!

GOLD → Attempt to break through 3350 for a retest of 3370FX:XAUUSD is stagnating in a range, awaiting a driver. The price is consolidating, with boundaries narrowing and forming a symmetrical triangle... Gold is trying to consolidate above $3,350 after falling to an 11-day low of $3,325 amid geopolitical uncertainty. Markets are awaiting Trump's talks with Zelensky, which will be joined by European leaders, hoping for a quick peace agreement on Ukraine. However, general optimism is limiting demand for “safe assets.” Expectations of a dovish Fed policy and the possible lifting of sanctions against Russia are adding to the positive sentiment. At the same time, gold risks a correction if the dollar strengthens amid profit-taking ahead of the Fed minutes and Jerome Powell's speech in Jackson Hole. Technically, if gold can break through the 3350 level, the market may test the 3370 resistance in the short term, but then return to support due to uncertainty. Resistance levels: 3350, 3370, 3400 Support levels: 3331, 3315, 3301 At the moment, since the price is in a range, it is worth considering an intrarange trading strategy: false breakouts or rebounds from strong levels. I think that until a strong driver appears, gold will remain within the specified range. Best regards, R. Linda!

XLMUSDT → Consolidation before rally to 0.4700BINANCE:XLMUSDT is recovering after a fairly aggressive decline, the purpose of which was to consolidate potential and retest trend support. The chart shows signs of a bullish movement... The growth of BTC and ETH and the decline in Bitcoin's dominance index give altcoins a chance. The market is generally bullish, and in the second half of this week, we encountered a correction that has most likely come to an end. XLM has a fairly strong support line, above which the bulls are aggressively holding the price. XLM is rebounding from the upward support line. The price returned to the trading range of 0.4274 - 0.4685, but encountered strong resistance at 0.4331, a break of which will confirm the bullish market structure. An ascending triangle is forming with a trigger at 0.4331. Support levels: 0.4273, 0.4194, 0.4114 Resistance levels: 0.4331, 0.4596, 0.4685 Within the local “ascending triangle” structure, the price may continue to consolidate. A retest of local support zones is possible. However, a smooth compression of the price towards resistance may lead to a breakout, which in turn, due to consolidation, may provoke a strong upward momentum. Best regards, R. Linda!
