XAU/USD chart on the hourly time frame

XAU/USD chart on the hourly time frame

Current trend: Downward correction, but still within an ascending channel.
Technical analysis:

  • The price has rebounded from the lower boundary of the ascending channel.
  • MACD remains negative but is beginning to show some slowdown in the downward momentum.
  • Current support near 3370–3380 is very important.

Forecast:
Continued trading above 3370 maintains the possibility of an upward move towards 3425–3440.
A break of 3370 will push gold to test the 3335 and possibly 3300 levels.

 


USOIL chart on the hourly time frame

USOIL Chart on the hourtly time frame

US crude oil prices have witnessed a strong rise over the recent period, supported by the break of previous resistance areas and the establishment of new price highs. However, the price is now facing strong resistance near the $74.30 level, an area forming a double top that may hinder the continuation of the upward trend in the short term. 

  •  Nearby support: $70.60, then $68.80.
  •  Immediate resistance: $74.30.
  • Technical indicators: The MACD is showing signs of weakening upward momentum, supporting the possibility of a downward correction.

 Expectation: 
If the support at 70.60 is broken, we may witness a deeper correction towards 68.80. However, if the 74.30 level is breached, purchasing power will be renewed.

The index is trading within a descending channel on the hourly timeframe, having failed to break the drawn downtrend line, reflecting continued selling pressure.

  • Key resistance: 21,965–22,050 points.
  •  Nearby support: 21,532 points.
  • Technical indicators: The MACD indicator has turned negative again, indicating a potential continuation of the decline.

 Expectation:
 As long as trading remains below the downtrend line, the outlook remains negative, with a possible retest of the 21,532 support level. If broken, the decline could extend towards 21,200 points.
