GOLD (XAU/USD) - bearish ranging near daily bullish reversal (based on the article)

Daily price is on ranging near and below Ichimoku cloud for the bearish trend to be continuing or for the bullish reversdal to be started. The key support level is 1,270 so if the price breaks this level to below together with descending triangle pattern formed so the primary daily bearish trend will be resumed, otherwise - ranging within the levels.


  • "Coming into the year, Gold prices were dropping like a rock. This was on the back of the surge being seen in the U.S. Dollar as the ‘Trump Trade’ got further priced-through capital markets. But as that Dollar strength viciously turned into aggressive weakness in the first quarter of the year, Gold prices began to lift-higher. This lasted all the way into June, where a double top around the $1,296 level finally initiated some element of resistance. This is a level that remains resistant, as we saw just last week when price action tried to break through on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday; only to fail as sellers pushed back down towards the confluent support zone that we’ve been following. "
  • "Once either of these sides give way, traders can begin plotting longer-term directional approaches in Gold. Until then, be cautious around getting caught in between the cracks of support and resistance on near-term Gold charts."

USD/JPY - daily ranging around bullish/bearish reversal area for direction (based on the article)

Daily price is ranging aroud 100 SMA/200 SMA reversal area.

If the price breaks 113.09 resistance level to above so the priumary bullish trend will be resumed.
If the price breaks 110.84 support level to below on daily close bar so the bearish reversal will be started.


  • "The near-term USD/JPY candlestick version makes it look as though a head and shoulder pattern may be in the offing. After all the current climb seems to be losing momentum already, before it gets anywhere near the previous peak of 114.72. And it’s losing momentum just about exactly where the putative first shoulder was made. Should the second be confirmed by a marked move lower from current levels then the entire climb up from September’s lows in the 107 region could be in some jeopardy."
  • "It’s also worth looking at the range which has essentially contained USD/JPY all year. To be sure it is broad, taking the pair from the 107-region up to the 114s. But it has endured through all of 2017’s fundamental twists and turns and it is probably safest to assume that it still does, in the absence of clear evidence to the contrary."
