Daily Pivots: (S1) 0.7847; (P) 0.7871; (R1) 0.7912; More…. Intraday bias in USD/CHF is turned neutral with current recovery. Some consolidations would be seen above 0.7828 temporary low. But upside should be limited below 0.8006 resistance to bring another fall. On the downside, break of 0.7828 will resume larger down trend to 61.8% projection of […]

Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.3738; (P) 1.3763; (R1) 1.3798; More… Intraday bias in USD/CAD stays neutral for the moment. With 1.3725 support intact, rise from 1.3538 could still extend higher. Break of 1.3889 should resume the corrective rise through 1.3923 to 1.4014 cluster resistance. On the downside, though, firm break of 1.3725 will indicate that the […]

Fundamental
Overview
The USD yesterday weakened
across the board on the Fed’s decision but eventually erased all the losses and
increased the gains as traders digested all the information and realised it was
more hawkish compared to the market pricing.
In fact, the dot plot
showed that the FOMC projected two more rate cuts for 2025 by a narrow majority,
with the rest of officials expecting just one more or even none. Moreover, the
Fed projected just one cut in 2026 compared to three that the market was
pricing before the decision.
Fed Chair Powell then
labelled the rate cut as a “risk management” action given the weakening in the
labour market data. But overall, he sounded pretty neutral even though he understandably
placed more emphasis on the labour market given the two consecutive soft NFP
reports.
Looking forward, it’s going
to be all about the data. Strong data will likely trigger a hawkish repricing
in interest rates expectations and support the greenback. On the other hand,
weak data will likely continue to weigh on it.
On the JPY side, we haven’t
got meaningful changes in the fundamentals. The yen has been rallying mostly on
the back of the dovish expectations for the Fed. Tomorrow, we have the BoJ
decision where the central bank is expected to keep everything unchanged and
the focus will be on their forward guidance.
USDJPY
Technical Analysis – Daily Timeframe
On the daily chart, we can
see that USDJPY eventually broke out of the range to the downside and dropped
into the major trendline around the 145.60 level. The buyers
stepped in with a defined risk below the trendline to position for a rally into
the 151.00 handle. The sellers, on the other hand, will want to see the price
breaking below the trendline to pile in for a drop into the 143.00 handle next.
USDJPY Technical
Analysis – 4 hour Timeframe
On the 4 hour chart, we can
see that we now have a minor downward trendline defining the bearish momentum. The
sellers are likely to lean on the trendline with a defined risk above it to position
for a drop into the major upward trendline targeting a breakout. The buyers, on
the other hand, will look for a break higher to increase the bullish bets into
the 151.00 handle next.
USDJPY Technical
Analysis – 1 hour Timeframe
On the 1 hour chart, there’s
not much else we can add here but if we get a pullback from the downward trendline,
we can expect the buyers to step in around the minor support zone at 146.70 to position for a break above
the trendline, while the sellers will look for a break lower to increase the
bearish bets into the major upward trendline. The red lines define the average daily range for today.
Upcoming
Catalysts
Today we get the latest US Jobless Claims figures, while
tomorrow we conclude the week with the Japanese CPI and the BoJ policy
decision.

Gold has always held a special place in
financial markets, serving as a hedge against economic uncertainty, inflation,
and geopolitical risk. In 2025, global events continue to create volatility
across major currencies and equities, making gold trading more relevant than
ever. Traders around the world are turning to gold not only as a safe-haven
investment but also as a versatile instrument for both short-term speculation
and long-term portfolio protection.
However, accessing gold markets
efficiently requires the right broker, and that is where EC Markets stands out. With
spreads on gold starting from just 26–29 pips and leverage up to 1:1000,
traders can execute strategies with greater precision and lower costs. This is
particularly crucial for intraday traders who need to act fast, as well as
longer-term investors seeking to maximize returns on hedges.
The story of a trader in Singapore
illustrates this perfectly: during a sudden spike in gold prices due to market
uncertainty, having access to tight spreads and high leverage allowed the
trader to capitalize on short-term opportunities while keeping risks
controlled. EC Markets’ platforms, MT4 and MT5, provide advanced charting
tools, technical indicators, and real-time market data to ensure that traders
can act quickly and make informed decisions.
Industry reports suggest that gold
trading volumes are rising globally, especially in regions like Asia and the
Middle East, where investors view gold as a store of value amid currency
fluctuations. EC Markets leverages its global reach with offices in nine
countries, providing local support and multilingual customer service to meet
these demands. This combination of local expertise and global coverage gives
traders the confidence to trade gold efficiently, wherever they are.
Beyond execution, fund protection is a
major consideration. EC Markets provides segregated accounts, negative balance
protection, and insurance coverage up to $1,000,000 per client through Lloyd’s
of London, ensuring traders’ investments are secure. In a market where trust is
increasingly paramount, this level of protection gives EC Markets an edge over
less regulated brokers.
Education is another key differentiator.
Many traders underestimate the complexity of gold trading, failing to account
for macroeconomic factors such as interest rates, currency fluctuations, and
global supply-demand dynamics. EC Markets’ trading academy and daily technical
analysis help traders understand these factors, turning what might seem like a
volatile market into a calculated opportunity.
With the right strategy, tools, and
support, gold trading can be highly rewarding in 2025. EC Markets combines
industry-leading execution, high leverage, tight spreads, educational
resources, and strong fund protection, making it the broker of choice for
traders seeking to navigate the gold market with confidence.
