USDJPY
The USDJPY pair is trading near 148.79 after recent gains driven by renewed dollar strength following last week’s inflation data.
Which showed a rise in inflation and lowered expectations for interest rate cuts.
Technically, if the pair stabilizes above 149.00 again, upward movement could continue toward the next resistance at 151.11.
Gold
Gold is trading around 3349 after closing last week higher.
This was supported by market tensions over tariff negotiations and revived concerns about inflation,
boosting demand for gold as a safe haven.
Currently, it is testing resistance at 3363. A breakout and close above this level may push prices toward 3389.
If a reversal pattern appears at current levels, we may see a downward correction to the ascending trendline.
NZDUSD
The NZDUSD pair remains downward despite a corrective rebound last week.
It is currently trading near 0.5961 after retesting the demand zone around 0.6000.
Reversal signals suggest renewed downside targeting the previous low at 0.5900.
Tesla Stock
Tesla shares continue to recover from recent losses, posting gains for the second consecutive week.
However, breaking above 331 and holding is essential to sustain momentum toward the key resistance at 365.
A bearish reversal at current levels—especially amid U.S. market tensions—could trigger a new decline toward $300.
GBPUSD
The GBPUSD pair saw an upward correction last week before returning from the 1.3488 resistance level.
Selling pressure is expected to continue, particularly as the U.S. dollar strengthens.
A break below 1.3370 and a close beneath it may extend losses toward the next support at 1.3141.
