Market Analysis

Gold pushed to new all-time highs above $3,740, driven by dollar weakness and safe-haven demand. Momentum is strong but overbought, suggesting risk of a short-term pullback. Support is at $3,720 and $3,660, with $3,750 as the next psychological test. Bias stays bullish but stretched.

Silver closed at $43.799, a 52-week high, with strong bullish momentum from dollar softness and positive metal sentiment. The run looks extended, with support at $43.60 and $42.00–42.10, and resistance eyed at $45.00. Bias remains bullish but vulnerable to consolidation.

DXY slid over the past two sessions as dovish Fed bets fueled broad weakness. Momentum is firmly bearish, with support at 97.00 and resistance at 97.60–98.00. Bias stays bearish while below 97.60.

GBP/USD reversed higher, supported by pound demand and broad dollar weakness. Momentum is strong and nearing overbought levels. Support sits at 1.3430–1.3460, with resistance at 1.3520–1.3560 and 1.3620. Bias turns bullish while above 1.3460.

AUD/USD stayed under pressure despite dollar softness, confirming its bearish lean. Local headwinds cap upside. Support holds at 0.6570 and 0.6550, with resistance at 0.6630–0.6640. Bias remains neutral-to-bearish below 0.6630.

NZD/USD weakened further on soft local data, confirming its bearish bias. Support is at 0.5820 and 0.5830, with resistance at 0.5915–0.5940. Bias stays bearish below 0.5915, with risk of deeper losses if 0.5840 breaks.

EUR/USD cooled after recent highs but held support despite a stronger dollar. Sentiment is mixed but stable above 1.1770. Support rests at 1.1790–1.1770 and 1.1700, while resistance stands at 1.1860 and 1.1910. Bias is neutral-to-bullish above 1.1770.

USD/JPY consolidated within range, holding above 146.70 support as yen demand eased. Momentum is balanced, with resistance at 148.40–148.90 and deeper support near 145.50. Bias remains neutral-to-bullish while above 146.70.

USD/CHF fell as haven demand boosted the franc, contradicting its initial bullish setup. Support is at 0.7890 and 0.7870, while 0.7950 has flipped to resistance. Bias is bearish below 0.7950.

USD/CAD climbed to 1.3823, breaking resistance on dovish BoC tones and weaker oil. Support is at 1.3780 and 1.3730–1.3760, with resistance at 1.3830 and 1.3880–1.3900. Bias stays bullish above 1.3780, with scope for more upside.
