XAUUSD
Sentimental Analysis
At 1:55 GMT, the BDSwiss mobile app displayed a sentiment of 67% bearish positions and 33% bullish positions for XAUUSD among traders.
Technical Analysis
From a technical analysis standpoint using the 4-hour chart of XAUUSD, the price has been following a downtrend since April 19, 2024. A downtrend line drawn from $2415.32 rejected the price at $2329.37 after retracing from $2281.85, which currently acts as the support level, with the price currently hovering around $2317.02. If the rejection by the downtrend line persists, there is a strong likelihood of the price descending towards the current support level. Conversely, if the support level is breached to the downside, there is a high probability of further price decline. However, if the rejection by the downtrend line does not hold and the downtrend line is broken to the upside, there is a high chance of the price ascending further.
Fundamental Analysis
Gold prices decreased by 0.4% due to a stronger US dollar and reduced Treasury yields, which followed disappointing US jobs data. The absence of growth in US April Nonfarm Payrolls has intensified attention on potential adjustments to Federal Reserve interest rates in September. Investors are now eagerly awaiting comments from Federal Reserve officials and important data releases, including jobless claims and consumer sentiment indices, to gauge the market’s direction.
EURUSD
Sentimental Analysis
At 2:33 GMT, the BDSwiss mobile app displayed a sentiment of 61% bullish positions and 39% bearish positions for EURUSD among traders.
Technical Analysis
Using the 4-hour chart of EURUSD, it’s observed that the exchange rate has been in an uptrend since May 1, 2024. An uptrend line drawn from 1.06504 rejected the exchange rate at 1.06750 after a pullback from 1.07331. The uptrend continued to 1.08120 after the rejection, serving as the current resistance, before retracing to the current exchange rate at 1.07390, which is testing the uptrend line. If the uptrend line is breached to the downside, there are high chances of the exchange rate declining further, while breaking it to the upside could lead to further upward movement.
Fundamental Analysis
During Wednesday’s Asian session, EUR/USD continues to decline for the second consecutive session, hovering around 1.07390. This downward movement is attributed to the strengthening of the US Dollar, driven by expectations of the Federal Reserve maintaining higher interest rates.

Fundamental Analysis
On Monday, prices surged above $65,000 initially, but swiftly retreated as popular brokerage Robinhood (HOOD) revealed that its crypto division had received a Wells Notice from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over the weekend.
