Gold is under pressure this week, having pulled back to the $2300 per troy ounce level. The decline since Friday’s close is over 3.7%. The formal trigger is a more moderate escalation in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict than expected at the beginning of the month. However, we view the current pullback as a welcome technical correction that could develop into a bear market. Last Friday, the price of a troy ounce of gold on the spot market broke the $2400 mark for the second time in history. And once again, there was strong resistance at this round level.

Market picture  The capitalisation of the crypto market over the past 24 hours has added only 0.15% to $2.44 trillion. Crypto sentiment indices remain in the ‘greed’ territory, scoring 71 points, compared to 73 points the day before.  Bitcoin added about a quarter of a percent during the day, reaching $66.5K.

The ..read more

Market picture  The crypto market is moving upwards, encouraged by Bitcoin’s positive momentum. Total cryptocurrency capitalisation reached $2.44 trillion, up 1.6% in 24 hours and 0.8% in seven days.  Bitcoin added 1.9% in 24 hours to $66.4K, gradually adding since last Thursday. The price hasn’t moved much in recent days, balancing the positivity from the halving and the negativity from the Nasdaq index’s decline.  Bitcoin is sticking to a classic upside pattern with a 61.8% Fibonacci retracement from the last rally. However, it’s worth remaining cautious until the price break ..read more
