Technical Analysis

Gold is soaring. In addition, the yen is buying more yen as risk aversion weakens the dollar. Fundamental metals are deteriorating due to the collapse of U.S. banks, and the Nikkei Stock Average is plunging. Bitcoin, a virtual currency, is surging. The dollar is weakening and has recovered to the $24,000 level.

Gold (XAUUSD)

Gold broke through USD 1,900.00 and was rising higher and higher due to risk aversion, but the RSI shows that it is sticking around 70 and the upward momentum is weakening. The possibility of a one-time adjustment cannot be ruled out. There is a possibility that the price may fall back to USD 1900.00 on profit-taking. Today’s range forecast is USD 1892.00 – USD 1931.00.

Estimated rangeUSD 1,892.00 – USD 1,931.00

Nikkei Stock Index (NIKKEI225)

The Nikkei 225 trend has shifted due to a change in fundamentals. Attention has been focused on whether Japanese companies will be affected by the collapse of U.S. regional banks. The 4-hour RSI is hovering at 34 and may fall further.

Bitcoin (BTC/USD)

Bitcoin rallied sharply due to the weak dollar. It briefly fell below USD 20,000, but has now risen to USD 24,000.
