EURUSD
The U.S. dollar has regained strength against the euro, pushing the pair into a bearish trend.
The pair is currently trading around 1.0325, with expectations to target 1.0268.
If this level is broken and a 4-hour candle closes below it,
the decline may continue toward the yearly low of 1.0138.
However, an upward correction could be expected if a reversal pattern appears near 1.0268.
Gold
Gold continued to hit new historical highs last week, driven by rising market tensions due to Trump’s newly announced tariffs,
which fueled concerns about global inflation risks.
This scenario has further strengthened gold’s position as a safe-haven asset,
pushing prices to $2,860.
However, a reversal pattern suggests a possible minor bearish correction to $2,832 before resuming the upward trend.
Oil
Oil prices remain under pressure, with expectations that the Russia-Ukraine war may soon end.
This could lead to Russian production returning to normal levels, increasing global supply,
especially as U.S. production rises.
Oil is currently trading around $70.97, with expectations to target $70.00.
If this level is broken and a daily close occurs below it, the decline may extend to $68.50.
U.S. Dollar Index
The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) has resumed its upward momentum following strong labor market data,
reaffirming the Federal Reserve’s ability to maintain higher interest rates for an extended period to curb inflation.
The index is expected to continue its bullish movement, targeting 109.04.
Nvidia
Nvidia’s stock has seen some gains in the past week,
recovering above $126.73 following a period of market uncertainty.
The recent stabilization has strengthened the stock’s bullish momentum,
with the potential to target the next resistance level at $142.33.
