\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last week, markets were quite volatile again, with gold<\/a> soaring to $4,890 but retreating lower this week. EUR\/USD<\/a> slipped below above 1.17 while main indices closed the week higher at new records. The moves weren\u2019t too big though, and we opened 34 trading signals<\/a> in total, finishing the week with 23 winning signals and 9 losing ones.<\/p>\n

Gold Rebounds Off the 200 SMA<\/p>\n

Although demand for safe haven assets is still high, gold fell precipitously from record highs following the Fed\u2019s most recent rate cut comments, as profit-taking was prompted by Powell\u2019s cautious tone. In December, gold jumped above $4,380 following the Federal Reserve\u2019s announcement of a 25 basis point rate decrease. But the impetus soon waned, and prices dropped back to $4,004. The 20o daily SMA (red) held as support this week and buyers returned and pushed XAU above the $4,800 and above the 100 SMA (green).\"Chart<\/p>\n

USD\/JPY Rebounds<\/p>\n

Foreign exchange markets saw sharp swings. Early in the week, U.S. yield differentials and Japanese capital outflows pushed the dollar above \u00a5150, but disappointing U.S. jobs data triggered profit-taking, causing the USD\/JPY to slide by four yen from its peak. However, the new BOJ governor the JPY has weakened and USD\/JPY soared to 154 and we decided to close our buy signal for more than 80 pips<\/a> as the pair found support at the 20 daily SMA (gray) and has rebounded more than 200 pips off that MA but reversed after the 25 bps rate cut from the FED. The price approached $160 but reversed after the BOJ meeting and fell 8 cents but found support at $152 at the 100 daily SMA (red) and rebounded above 156 but have reversed down again this week after the Japanese elections.\"Chart<\/p>\n

Cryptocurrency Update
\nBitcoin Returns Toward $80K<\/p>\n

Cryptocurrencies remained highly active over the summer. Bitcoin (BTC<\/a>) climbed to fresh highs of $123,000 and $124,000 in July and August, supported by institutional inflows and technical strength. However, remarks from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent ruling out U.S. increases to BTC reserves triggered a steep pullback, sending the coin down to $80K before finding support at the 100 weekly SMA (green). A rebound followed, sending BTC near $100 is the first major text for Bitcoin buyers. However BTC returned lower and fell below $80K, breaking below the but the 100 weekly SMA (green) but the decline stopped at the $60K support where the 200 weekly SMA (purple) stands and rebounded above $76K but returned to $70K again.<\/p>\n

Ethereum Returns to $2,000<\/p>\n

Ethereum (ETH<\/a>) has been similarly strong, surging toward $4,800, its highest since 2021 and near its all-time peak of $4,860. Despite a dip last week, ETH found support at the 20-day SMA, with retail enthusiasm and renewed institutional participation driving fresh upside momentum. Last week we saw a dive below $2,000 but buyers returned n d pushed the price above $2K again.<\/p>\n
