Following the surprise announcement that the US administration is exempting tariffs on refined metals, the price of copper has tanked and connected with a 6M support from US$4.3805. Notably, directly above, we have a 1Y resistance level from US$4.4590 and a 3M resistance level at US$4.5515, while a breakout south could lead the base metal to as far south as 6M...
I touched on the longer-term price action of Spot Silver (XAG/USD) last week, showing that the unit is on track to shake hands with a Potential Reversal Zone (PRZ) of a monthly harmonic bat pattern between US$46.79 and US$42.68.
Keeping things aligned with the harmonic landscape, you will note that H1 price action recently printed an AB=CD bullish pattern at...
Ahead of today’s Q2 earnings release, you can see the price of Alphabet is trading just above a 6M support at US$191.54. Finding acceptance north of this support level could prompt buyers to change gears and potentially target a 1M resistance level at US$202.40. If price makes it above here, you will likely see the Stock challenge all-time highs of US$208.70,...
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DOW) is clearly trending higher, pencilling in a series of higher highs and higher lows. Supporting this trend is the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) at 42,816 crossing above the 200-day SMA at 42,749; this is referred to as a ‘Golden Cross’ and suggests a longer-term uptrend may be on the table.
This, coupled with the recent...

What this also tells Silver traders is that according to this pattern’s structure, there is scope for additional outperformance. As a result, I am closely monitoring monthly support...

As shown on the daily chart of the USD Index, the currency has been biased to the downside for most of this year and recently met with 1M support at 96.80. This has caused the Index to modestly rebound and retest a 6M resistance at 97.39. Given this level's significance and trend direction, sellers could show from 97.39 and refresh year-to-date lows towards 1Y...
I intend to keep the following post concise and to the point.
As exhibited on the daily timeframe of ETH/USD (Ethereum versus the US dollar), price recently shook hands with support from US$2,332.

Front page news this morning focussed on the ceasefire between Israel and Iran, first announced by US President Donald Trump on his Truth Social platform. However, reports recently emerged of Iran firing missiles, seemingly violating the ceasefire, but no confirmation has been received yet.

It is widely regarded as a ‘sealed deal’ that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) will maintain the current target rate at 4.25% - 4.50% today, marking a fourth consecutive meeting on hold. This is likely to displease US President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly called for rate cuts, recently referring to the Fed Chairman Jerome Powell as ‘stupid’.
Despite Trump’s...

C$1.3945 was made short work of in April and retested as resistance in May, following a fourth consecutive month in the red. Technically speaking, the scope to explore deeper water is evident on the monthly scale until C$1.3534, followed by another layer of support from C$1.3242.
In view of this, as well as the lack of bullish intent evident from trendline...

Following the EUR/USD (euro versus the US dollar) trading within striking distance of a head and shoulders top pattern’s profit objective at US$1.1049, bulls went on the offensive.

Versus the US dollar (USD), Bitcoin (BTC) is poised to snap a two-month decline and pencil in a bullish outside candle on the monthly chart (textbook engulfing candles focus on the candle’s real bodies rather than upper/lower wicks).
