AUDUSD TECHNICALS AND FUNDAMENTALS DETAILED ANALYSISAUDUSD has officially broken out of a multi-week ascending triangle structure, and momentum is now building for a bullish continuation. The price is currently trading around 0.6533 after a strong breakout above the 0.6520 resistance zone. This consolidation was forming higher lows, signaling accumulation and bullish intent. The clean breakout above the horizontal resistance confirms buyers are in control. With this pattern validated, my short-term target is 0.6700–0.6750, aligning with the measured move projection.
From a macro perspective, AUD is gaining strength due to a divergence in monetary policy outlooks. The Reserve Bank of Australia remains hawkish, supported by sticky inflation data and a tight labor market, while the Federal Reserve has recently hinted at a dovish turn, acknowledging signs of economic slowdown. Additionally, a weaker U.S. dollar index (DXY) and rising commodity prices—especially iron ore and copper—are tailwinds for the Australian dollar. These fundamental shifts are reinforcing the bullish technical breakout.
On the 8H chart, the ascending triangle is a clear signal of bullish pressure. The zone around 0.6450–0.6520 acted as strong demand during the consolidation phase. A successful breakout retest of this zone could offer secondary entry opportunities. The risk-reward ratio is attractive, with a defined invalidation below the trendline and a target extending toward yearly highs near 0.6750.
This setup stands out as high-probability. With bullish price action, supportive fundamentals, and risk-on sentiment returning across FX majors, AUDUSD is primed for further upside. I’m holding long with conviction, expecting continuation toward the projected breakout target. This trade aligns with current market structure, trend strength, and macro drivers—perfect timing in a trending market environment.
Fundamental Analysis
Markets rally as missiles fly | how long can risk be ignored? Markets may be underpricing Israel and Iran risk.
Despite continued fighting—including high-impact strikes and rising casualties—global equities moved higher to start the week.
U.S. indices led the advance, with the Nasdaq gaining 1.5%, followed by the S&P 500 and Dow. Earlier in the session, European and Asian markets also closed higher, with Germany’s DAX up 0.8% and Japan’s Nikkei rising 1.3%. Now Asian markets are set to open for the second trading day of the week.
Tensions escalated further on Monday as Israel launched drone strikes on Iran’s state-run IRINN television headquarters in Tehran, interrupting a live broadcast. Additional Israeli attacks hit the South Pars gas field. In retaliation, Iran launched a fresh wave of missile attacks into Israel, killing at least five people.
XAG USD LONG RESULT Silver price has been consolidating inside a symmetrical triangle and has been holding the support Trendline also creating consistent Higher Lows and increase in Demand Volume, all bullish indications for the asset, which was why I took the long position from the breakout point, and it moved better than I anticipated🔥

⊢
Gold June 17, 2025As of today, the market continues to grapple with elevated U.S. debt issuance concerns, stubborn inflation pressures, and shifts in global demand for Treasuries. The newly surfaced economic editorial emphasizes a core macro concern: the United States' soaring public debt, now pushing toward $29 trillion in outstanding Treasuries, equivalent to roughly 95% of GDP. The issuance has notably skewed toward long-duration instruments, with the Treasury borrowing heavier through notes and bonds, particularly with $1.8 trillion in deficit projected in 2024 alone. This surge in long-term supply places upward pressure on yields — especially in the absence of strong foreign demand, which has been in steady decline.
In the backdrop, recent performance in U.S. equity sectors reveals a pivot toward value and inflation-sensitive segments. Energy (XLE) has outperformed on both a 1D (+1.63%) and YTD basis (+9.11%), signaling real-asset rotation. Communications (XLC +1.72%) and Technology (XLK +1.62%) show strength, likely reflecting a rebound from oversold levels. Financials (XLF), however, remain volatile, with capital continuing to favor sectors like Industrials (XLI +0.65%) and Materials (XLB +0.85%) as proxies for infrastructure and dollar hedging. Real Estate (XLRE +0.87%) is showing a temporary bounce, but remains a laggard over the longer term due to yield sensitivity.
Factor performance is confirming this rotation narrative. IPOs (+1.2%), spin-offs (+0.3%), and buybacks (+0.3%) are leading the qualitative factors, while style preferences are leaning toward growth and small-cap recovery, albeit from deeply underperforming levels YTD. Momentum and low-volatility factors are currently lagging. On a size-style basis, Mid-Cap Growth and Small-Cap Growth are recovering modestly, but the broader landscape suggests market participants are still defensive and selectively rotating.
The fixed income landscape remains under stress. U.S. Treasury ETF performance continues to reflect pressure at the longer end. The 20Y (TLT) and 30Y durations have lost between -0.77% to -1.03% over the latest session, signaling reluctance from institutional buyers to absorb long-end supply without higher compensation. Across the curve, U.S. yields remain elevated, with the 2Y at 3.958%, 10Y at 4.428%, and 30Y at 4.933%. Notably, international yields remain divergent — Japan's 30Y yield has reached 2.335%, while the U.K. 30Y sits at 5.276%, reflecting inflation persistence in developed Europe.
Meanwhile, the credit complex is firming in high-grade corners. ETFs like LQD (+0.36%) and BLKN (+0.34%) are gaining, while high-yield names (HYG: flat) and convertibles (-0.01%) remain flat or down. Preferred stock and floating rate paper are being held as rate-insulated yield vehicles. International credit is mixed — EMLC (Local EM Bonds) is positive (+0.11%), while USD-based emerging debt (EMB) is flat.
Commodities are providing solid macro signals. Brent crude is up +1.73%, WTI +1.67%, and natural gas +0.58%, highlighting a renewed inflation hedge dynamic. Gold (XAUUSD) is slightly down at $3,382.06 (-0.04%), but remains near breakout levels with YTD performance near +29%. Silver and copper continue to hold recent gains, while agriculture is mixed: Corn (-2.14%) and Sugar (-1.16%) are under pressure, while Soybeans, Wheat, and Live Cattle are in mild recovery.
On the global equities side, South Korea, Brazil, and India lead EM flows, buoyed by rising commodity prices and a modestly weaker USD. Brazil (EWZ) is up 1.8% YTD and climbing, South Korea (EWY) is at +1.3%, and India (EPI) continues to trend higher. Developed markets (France, Germany, U.K.) are soft, while Canada (+26.9% YTD) remains a notable outperformer, aided by energy and resource exports. In the U.S., SPY is up 0.95% on the day and +12.45% YTD.
In terms of actionable positioning: gold remains a buy on dips as long as real yields stay capped and auction demand remains cautious. U.S. long-end bonds are to be avoided or shorted on rallies given increasing supply and muted demand. Energy and materials sectors continue to offer inflation protection, while financials and REITs should be traded tactically around auction and CPI prints. Equity allocations should lean toward value/momentum hybrids with capital discipline and dividend backing, while growth/multiple expansion names should be watched closely for signs of overextension.
All in all, market behavior is currently being dictated by a blend of inflation expectations, sovereign credit concerns (especially U.S. debt overhang), and rotation into defensively pro-cyclical sectors. With the Treasury supply pipeline growing and buyers rotating away from long bonds, the next key market catalyst will likely emerge from either a weak bond auction or a sharp reacceleration in core inflation. Until then, portfolios should be tactically balanced, yield-aware, and commodity-hedged.
WTI rebounds from key support as Middle East tensions intensifyThe latest escalation in the conflict between Israel and Iran initially didn't cause much panic in the oil market. After spiking initially to an overnight high of $75.70, WTI has since been on a decline, before hitting a low so far of $68.50. That represents a 9.5% drop from the overnight high, which is massive. Investors have been pricing out the risk of of oil supplies being meaningfully impacted. But the latest air strikes on Tehran and Israel declaring that it had "full aerial operational control" over Tehran means tension are rising another bombardment of Tel Aviv was most likely on the agenda for Iran. Oil has been bouncing back as a result. So far, it hasn't impacted equities, with major US indices remaining near their session highs. But will that change if oil extends it recovery?
Key support at $68.60 has been defended as we can see on the hourly chart. $70.00/$70.10 is now reclaimed, which is a bullish sign. Resistance is seen around $72.20. Above that, $73.00 will be in focus.

Oil Rebounds to $59 as US Inventories Drop – Reversal Ahead?After recent declines, crude oil futures (CL1!) staged a modest recovery during Thursday’s session, trading near $59.10 per barrel. The rebound comes as US crude inventories unexpectedly dropped, easing concerns about oversupply and providing a short-term lift to prices.
Key Drivers Behind the Rebound
US Inventory Drawdown – The latest EIA report showed a decline in crude stockpiles, signaling stronger demand and helping prices stabilize.
Technical Support Holds Firm – The bounce aligns with a critical daily demand zone, which previously acted as a strong support level on the weekly chart.
Market Sentiment Shifts – While retail traders remain bearish, commercial traders (often considered "smart money") are increasing long positions, hinting at a potential trend reversal.
Traders should watch for follow-through buying to confirm whether this is a short-term correction or the start of a larger reversal.
Bottom Line: Oil’s rebound is fueled by fundamentals (lower inventories) and technicals (strong demand zone). With commercial traders betting on higher prices, the stage may be set for a bullish reversal—if buyers sustain momentum.

Bullish Undercurrents Build in Soybean Oil MarketSoybean oil futures have rebounded nearly 14% in June, following a 5.7% drop in May, supported by tightening global supply, resilient demand, expanding biodiesel use, and steady U.S. production with some planting delays.
Severe drought in Brazil and Argentina, who together account for 45% of global soybean exports, has slashed yields by roughly 15%, tightening supply chains and boosting prices.
Strong Chinese demand, both for food and hog herd rebuilding, continues to be a major price driver. China imports nearly 18.5 million tons of soybean oil annually and remains the world’s largest consumer.
The USDA’s June WASDE report underscored a bullish backdrop: U.S. production is steady at 4.34 billion bushels for 2025–26, but ending stocks are projected to fall to 295 million bushels, down from 350 million in 2024–25, signalling a tighter domestic supply.
Adding to the bullish momentum, crude oil prices surged on 13/Jun amid escalating Israel-Iran tensions, indirectly supporting soybean oil due to its role in biodiesel production. Higher crude prices enhance biodiesel’s competitiveness, boosting demand for soybean oil as a feedstock.
Soybean oil futures also jumped after the EPA proposed higher-than-expected biofuel blending mandates. The Trump administration’s proposal, seen as a major win for the biofuels industry, is expected to significantly increase domestic soybean crush demand in 2026 and 2027.
TECHNICAL SIGNALS POINT TO BULLISH REVERSAL
Technical indicators suggest weakening bearish momentum in soybean oil. Since early June, prices have climbed above the 9-day, 21-day, and 50-day moving averages after starting the month below them.
Though the 9-day MA is still below the 21-day, the narrowing gap signals strengthening momentum and a possible bullish crossover.
The MACD and RSI indicate that selling pressure has subsided, with momentum now tilting bullish. If this strength persists, the uptrend in soybean oil futures could gain further traction.
OPTIONS DATA SIGNALS GROWING BULLISH MOMENTUM
For the week ending 10/Jun, Managed Money’s net long positioning in soybean oil futures fell by 22.6%, reflecting a 13% drop in longs and a 7.1% dip in shorts.
Rising implied volatility alongside prices and a positive skew suggest growing bullish sentiment, as market participants position for potential upside in soybean oil futures.

The rise in call OI across near-term contracts suggests growing bullish sentiment for soybean oil prices.

While selective increase in put OI reflects cautious hedging, pointing to expectations of further upside with some near-term uncertainty.
HYPOTHETICAL TRADE SETUP

XAU/USD Chart Analysis Following Israel-Iran StrikesXAU/USD Chart Analysis Following Israel-Iran Strikes
In 2025, the price of gold continues to form a long-term upward trend, highlighted by the black line. The red line previously acted as resistance, resulting in the formation of a contracting triangle on the XAU/USD chart – a typical sign of market equilibrium.
However, this red line was breached (as indicated by the arrow) amid news of the exchange of strikes between Israel and Iran. In response, gold price movements have more clearly outlined the rising blue channel, which began to take shape in the second half of May.
Over the weekend, the strikes continued, and on Monday morning, trading opened with a modest bullish gap. This indicates that geopolitical risk concerns are helping to keep gold prices anchored above the red line.
What could happen to the price of gold next?
Much will depend on how the situation in the Middle East develops. Should the exchange of strikes between Iran and Israel subside and official statements offer hope for de-escalation, a pullback from the upper boundary of the blue channel is likely.
If such a scenario plays out, technical analysts may focus on the support zone around $3,390–3,400 on the XAU/USD chart, formed by:
→ the psychological level of $3,400;
→ the red line, which previously acted as resistance;
→ the median of the blue channel.

The FED on June 18 will be decisive for the stock market!Several fundamental factors will have a strong influence on the stock market this week, including trade diplomacy, geopolitical tensions and the FED's monetary policy decision on Wednesday June 18.
1) The FED on June 18, the fundamental highlight of the week
The stock market week will be dominated by one fundamental event: the US Federal Reserve's (FED) monetary policy decision scheduled for Wednesday June 18. This meeting promises to be crucial for the summer direction of the financial markets, against a backdrop of uncertainties linked to the trade war and an economic cycle nearing maturity. Although the consensus is for the US Fed Funds rate to remain unchanged, with a 99% probability according to the CME FedWatch Tool, investors' attention will be focused on the Fed's updated macroeconomic projections.
The expected evolution of inflation, employment and the Fed Funds rate will be at the heart of the debate, as will the tone of Jerôme Powell's press conference. The market, now expensive both technically and fundamentally, is demanding more accommodative signals to extend its rally.
2) The market wants confirmation of two rate cuts by the end of 2025
What investors now expect from the FED is not so much immediate action on rates as a clearer roadmap for the end of the year. Explicit confirmation of two rate cuts by December 2025 would represent the minimum required to support current equity market levels, particularly the S&P 500, which is trading close to its all-time highs.
However, the central bank remains under pressure, torn between calls for monetary easing and caution in the face of a possible rebound in inflation, particularly under the impact of customs tensions. If Jerome Powell reaffirms the Bank's wait-and-see stance, this could lead to market consolidation. Conversely, downwardly revised inflation forecasts and a Fed Funds curve pointing to further declines could be interpreted as a clear signal of a pivot.
We will also have to keep a close eye on the developments announced regarding the reduction of the Quantitative Tightening program.
Finally, beyond the fundamentals, the technical timing reinforces the importance of this meeting. The bond market is already providing clues, with a technical configuration that could herald an easing in yields if the Fed adopts a more conciliatory tone. In equities, the weekly technical analysis of the S&P 500 shows areas of overbought territory, reinforcing the need for monetary support to avoid a trend reversal. In this context, Wednesday's meeting is more than just a monetary policy decision: it is a strategic marker for the rest of 2025.

USOIL – Reclaiming the Energy Narrative | WaverVanir Macro Rever📉 Chart Thesis:
After nearly three years of structural decline from the $129 peak, crude oil (USOIL) is approaching a confluence zone of historic Fibonacci support ($56–$60) and a multi-year descending trendline.
This zone may mark the bottom of a long-term accumulation phase.
🧠 Strategic Perspective (WaverVanir View):
“It’s time to take back our resource. Not just politically—but economically, institutionally, and structurally.”
WaverVanir International LLC sees this setup as a rare macro pivot. This isn’t about short-term fluctuations—it’s about the global realignment of resource value in a world where:
Central banks are overleveraged
Strategic petroleum reserves are drawn down
War premium is mispriced
Real assets are undervalued
📊 Key Levels:
Support Zone: $56.04 (historical institutional buy zone)
Breakout Trigger: Trendline above $67.00
Target 1: $101.35 (0.786 Fib)
Target 2: $129.42 (1.0 Fib)
Target 3: $160.58 (1.236 Fib projection)

$SUI follow up for June 2025CRYPTOCAP:SUI has tapped my support zone around $2.85, which is currently holding well.
That said, the broader trend remains corrective, and it's likely only a matter of time before this support gives way.
If that happens, we could see a drop into my green buy zone — sitting just below a major order block. A break there might trigger heavy liquidations and a sharp move to the next support level.
I don't expect a deeper crash, as bulls are showing strong activity to defend this area.
If you set buy orders around this zone, a solid bounce could offer attractive profits.
As always, DYOR.
This is a follow up for this idea from May 2025
#EURUSD: Nothing to expect from DXY| View Changed Swing Trading|Hey there! So, we were previously thinking EURUSD was going to be bearish, but things have turned around and it’s looking bullish for now.
The extreme bearish pressure on USD has caused all the major USD pairs to be in a range. As the week goes on and we get the NFP data, the market will probably focus more on these economic indicators. So, it’s not surprising to see some market ranges during this time.
We’ll keep a close eye on the market, as there might be some manipulation going on this week.
We recommend waiting until Monday’s daily candle closes to see if the bullish trend is strong enough. Then, based on the price momentum, you can make your decisions.
We hope you have a great week and safe trading! If you like our work and analysis, please consider liking, commenting, and sharing our content.

Gold Trading Strategy June 16There is not much surprise when the price gap up appeared on Monday morning there is no barrier that can stop the price of gold from increasing towards ATH. Gold has a slight adjustment in Tokyo session after the price gap up touched the round resistance zone 3450.
The adjustment may extend to 3413 in European session. This is a BUY zone with the expectation that Gold will regain the ATH hook. If broken, there will be some Scalping buy zones but the risk is quite high so to be safe, wait for 3398.
In the long term, 3463 acts as temporary resistance for a reaction phase before Gold returns to its all-time high. Maybe before that, 3490 will have another price reaction before reaching the peak.
Resistance: 3428 (Scalping) - 3444 - 3463 - 3490
Support: 3413- 3298
GOLD's room for growth is still wide, new all-time peakThe Israel-Iran conflict has increased the safe-haven role of gold, while pushing up oil prices, putting further pressure on inflation alongside the tariff pressure from the Trump administration.
Although the Israel-Iran conflict may continue to push gold prices higher this week, investors should be cautious and avoid chasing the development of this conflict. Because, gold price increases due to geopolitical events are usually short-lived.
In addition to the Israel-Iran conflict, markets will witness a speech by Fed Chairman Powell this week. With the Trump administration’s tariff policy still complicated and the Israel-Iran conflict escalating, the Fed Chairman may continue to signal that interest rates will remain unchanged at the July FOMC meeting. However, there is growing speculation that the Fed may begin laying the groundwork for a rate cut later this year.
In the short term, gold prices may be less affected by the Fed's monetary policy. Investors will pay more attention to the Trump administration's tariff policy, especially when the 90-day tariff suspension is about to end.
Technical Outlook Analysis OANDA:XAUUSD
Technical analysis still shows an upward trend in gold prices in the medium and long term, although gold prices will inevitably have periods of adjustment and accumulation, especially when the Israel-Iran conflict subsides.
Accordingly, if the gold price surpasses 3,446 USD/oz, it may continue to increase to the 3,500 USD/oz area. Conversely, if the gold price trades below 3,446 USD/oz, it may adjust to around 3,344 - 3,373 USD/oz, or even lower.
Notable technical levels are listed below.
Support: 3,400 – 3,371 USD
Resistance: 3,435 – 3,500 USD
