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)...

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.

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.
Best regards, R. Linda!
GOLD - The battle for 4400. Will the growth continue?FX:XAUUSD starts the week of 2026 with a rise of more than 1.5%, staying above $4,400 amid escalating geopolitical tensions in Latin America
Geopolitical crisis: US-Venezuela, Donald Trump threatened new military intervention if the interim government does not comply with Washington's demands.
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. Local and global trends are bullish...

EURJPY - Correction (hunting for liquidity) before growthFX:EURJPY is entering a correction amid an uptrend that has been ongoing since March last year. Zone of interest: 183.0
Amid the growth of the dollar, the euro is entering a correction, but the main trend of the index is bearish.
The key area of interest and liquidity for the currency pair is 183.43 - 183.15. A false breakout/long squeeze and holding the price above this level could trigger further growth. Locally, we have a correction against the backdrop of a global bullish trend
Resistance levels: 184.26, 184.82
Support levels: 183.43, 183.15
A pullback on a bullish trend is an additional opportunity to enter the market at a favorable price. Focus on support at 183.43 - 183.15 (additionally 183.0)
Best regards, R. Linda!
ETHEREUM - Consolidation near 3150 ahead of rallyBINANCE:ETHUSDT.P is rising after breaking through trend resistance and consolidating. The main trend remains bearish, but there are local indications of bullish support. The 3150 trigger is ahead.
Bitcoin is strengthening amid geopolitical nuances, acting as a hedging factor (locally). A rise in the leading cryptocurrency could support Ethereum, which, in turn, could trigger a breakout of 3150 and a subsequent rally.
Ethereum is consolidating near 3150, forming resistance (a trigger). Technically, consolidation continues, and the coin may test local lows at 3120-3100 before retesting 3150 and continuing the rally.
Resistance levels: 3150, 3200, 3270
Support levels: 3120, 3100, 3077
If the pullback is not deep and the price quickly returns to retest 3150, then we can continue to monitor the coin, waiting for a signal to long...
If the bulls hold the price above resistance after breaking through 3150, this move could trigger continued growth toward 3200-3270.
Sincerely, R. Linda!
GOLD - Trading range 4300 - 4400. Interest in hedge assetsLet's consider FX:XAUUSD before the opening of the trading session. 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. I do not rule out an attempt to retest 4300 - 4275 (long squeeze) before growth...

BITCOIN - Flat holding back the market. Focus on 90K...BINANCE:BTCUSDT.P is forming a local uptrend, based on cascading support generated by the market during low (holiday) liquidity.
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. A short squeeze through the liquidity zone could trigger a bluer price move toward lower zones of interest, such as 88K - 85K.
Sincerely, R. Linda!
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!
AVAXUSDT - The hunt for liquidity before the fall BINANCE:AVAXUSDT , within the context of a global downtrend and low liquidity associated with market conditions, is forming a short squeeze ahead of a possible decline.
The global trend is protracted and downward, which generally indicates the dominance of bears in the medium and long term.
Bitcoin is consolidating against the backdrop of a downward trend, which generally creates negative sentiment in the market.
AVAX is forming a short squeeze of consolidation resistance at 12,460, formed against the backdrop of a global downward trend. This is a manipulative maneuver to accumulate liquidity before a possible decline.
If the bears keep the price below 12.540 - 12.460, then a decline can be expected in the short and medium term.
Resistance levels: 12.46, 12.54
Support levels: 12.03, 11.94, 11.26
A false breakout of resistance could confirm the end of the correction or consolidation and trigger a continuation of the main downtrend.
Best regards, R. Linda!
GOLD - The market may update its ATH after a correction...FX:XAUUSD bounces off 4475 and updates its local maximum in the distribution phase to 4519.4. Against the backdrop of low liquidity associated with the end of the calendar year, movements may be sharp and unpredictable...
The fundamental background remains unchanged, supporting gold: a weak dollar, tense geopolitical situation, mixed data from the US. However, the main problem at the moment is low liquidity due to the holidays.
The Asian market bought up the supply and drove up the price. After such a strong movement, the market may enter a consolidation or correction phase, during which it may test 4508-4500 before rising.
Resistance levels: 4519, 4526, 4550
Support levels: 4508, 4500
A low-liquidity market is easier to manage (in terms of manipulation). Accordingly, use strong setups and short targets for trading, as movements can be sharp and unpredictable.
I expect the bull market to continue after the correction.
Best regards, R. Linda!
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!
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!
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!
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.
Best regards, R. Linda!
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...
Best regards, R. Linda!
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.
Sincerely, R. Linda!
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!
