Last week saw mixed market performance, with USD\/JPY gaining 72 pips (+0.46%), EUR\/USD dropping 120 pips (-1.05%), gold falling 3.36%, and Bitcoin rising 0.53%. This week, traders will focus on the October 7 FOMC Minutes, US economic data, Treasury yields, and geopolitical tensions for fresh opportunities across forex, gold, oil, Bitcoin, and NVIDIA. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Forex:<\/strong> USD\/JPY was the strongest major pair, rising from around 157.28 to 158.00<\/strong>, gaining approximately 72 pips (+0.46%)<\/strong>, as higher U.S. Treasury yields and persistent dollar strength kept the yen under pressure. EUR\/USD was the weakest major pair, falling from around 1.1375 to 1.1255<\/strong>, losing about 120 pips (-1.05%)<\/strong>, while GBP\/USD declined from around 1.3211 to 1.3195<\/strong>, slipping roughly 16 pips (-0.12%)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Metals:<\/strong> Gold was the strongest major precious metal, recovering from its sharp Monday sell-off but ultimately falling from around $4,287 to $4,143 per ounce<\/strong>, losing approximately $144 (-3.36%)<\/strong>. Silver was weaker, sliding more than 6%<\/strong> to around 60.42\u2013<\/strong>60.50<\/strong>, as elevated Treasury yields, a firm dollar and higher-for-longer Fed expectations pressured precious metals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Energy:<\/strong> Oil markets remained highly volatile. WTI crude moved from around $92.41 to $91.11<\/strong>, falling approximately $1.30 (-1.4%)<\/strong>, while Brent declined from around $104.32 to $102.25<\/strong>, losing about $2.07 (-2.0%)<\/strong>. Prices came under pressure toward the end of the week as recovering Middle Eastern export flows and discussions around releasing crude and fuel stockpiles eased some supply concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Crypto:<\/strong> Bitcoin was relatively resilient, rising from around $83,867 to $84,308<\/strong>, gaining approximately $441 (+0.53%)<\/strong> for the week. BTC initially fell toward $83,231<\/strong> on September 28 before recovering above $84,000<\/strong> as the week progressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stocks:<\/strong> NVIDIA (NVDA)<\/strong> was the strongest among the selected major stocks, rising approximately 3.95%<\/strong> to close at $233.95<\/strong>, supported by continued AI-related demand and renewed investor interest following its major buyback authorization. META<\/strong> was comparatively weaker, falling approximately 3.14%<\/strong> to $728.08<\/strong>, giving back part of its strong September advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Indices:<\/strong> U.S. major indices delivered mixed results. The Nasdaq Composite<\/strong> was the strongest U.S. major index, gaining approximately 0.45%<\/strong> to close at 27,190.86<\/strong>, while the S&P 500<\/strong> fell 0.27%<\/strong> to 7,722.72<\/strong> and the Dow Jones Industrial Average<\/strong> declined 1.26%<\/strong> to 51,176.96<\/strong>. The Nikkei 225<\/strong> was notably stronger, rising from 66,363.98 to 68,309.24<\/strong>, gaining approximately 2.93%<\/strong> as Japanese equities recovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Important Events This Week:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
FOREX : USDJPY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Forex markets will focus on the FOMC Minutes on Wednesday 7th<\/strong>, US ISM Services PMI on Monday and US Trade Balance on Tuesday. Fed speakers, Treasury yields and geopolitical developments<\/strong> could drive further USD\/JPY volatility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
USDJPY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
USD\/JPY is testing key support around 157.75. A break and hold above 159.09 could support a BUY toward 160.14, with SL 157.75 and RR around 1:0.8. A rejection from 159.09 could trigger a SELL toward 153.90, with SL 160.14 and RR around 1:5.0. A break below 157.75 would strengthen the bearish outlook toward 153.90. Always apply risk management.<\/strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
METALS : XAUUSD ( GOLD )<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gold will be driven mainly by the FOMC Minutes, Fed rate expectations and US Treasury yields<\/strong>. A dovish Fed tone could support gold, while a stronger dollar and higher yields may pressure prices. Geopolitical tensions<\/strong> remain an additional safe-haven driver. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Gold (XAU\/USD) is testing key support around 4,110.17. A break and hold above 4,273.09 could support a BUY toward 4,468.91, with SL 4,110.17 and RR around 1:1.2. A rejection from 4,273.09 could trigger a SELL toward 4,054.17, with SL 4,468.91 and RR around 1:1.1. A break below 4,110.17 would strengthen the bearish outlook toward 4,077.27\u20134,054.17. Always apply risk management. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
ENERGY : USOIL <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oil markets will remain focused on OPEC+ supply policy, Middle East tensions and Strait of Hormuz risks<\/strong>. Supply disruptions and developments involving Iran and Gulf exports could keep crude prices highly volatile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
WTI Crude Oil (USOIL) is testing key support around 89.04. A break and hold above 93.44 could support a BUY toward 99.61, with SL 89.04 and RR around 1:1.5. A rejection from 93.44 could trigger a SELL toward 86.53, with SL 99.61 and RR around 1:1.1. A break below 89.04 would strengthen the bearish outlook toward 86.53, with 83.89 as a further downside level. Always apply risk management. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bitcoin will react to Fed policy expectations, the FOMC Minutes, Treasury yields and dollar strength<\/strong>. ETF flows, institutional demand and overall risk sentiment will also influence BTC this week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Bitcoin (BTC\/USD) is testing key resistance around 86,520<\/strong>. A break and hold above 86,520<\/strong> could support a BUY<\/strong> toward 101,400<\/strong>, with SL 81,367<\/strong> and RR around 1:2.9<\/strong>. A rejection from 86,520<\/strong> could trigger a SELL<\/strong> toward 77,322<\/strong>, with SL 89,500<\/strong> and RR around 1:2.4<\/strong>. A break below 81,367<\/strong> would strengthen the bearish outlook toward 77,322\u201374,481<\/strong>. Always apply risk management. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
STOCKS : NVIDIA <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
NVIDIA will remain sensitive to AI-chip demand, Treasury yields and technology-sector momentum<\/strong>. Investors will also monitor developments surrounding its $12.93 billion Hugging Face acquisition<\/strong> and the beginning of Q3 earnings season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
NVIDIA (NVDA) is testing key resistance around 236.72<\/strong>. A break and hold above 236.72<\/strong> could support a BUY<\/strong> toward 265.91<\/strong>, with SL 226.62<\/strong> and RR around 1:2.9<\/strong>. A rejection from 236.72<\/strong> could trigger a SELL<\/strong> toward 218.68<\/strong>, with SL 240.00<\/strong> and RR around 1:5.5<\/strong>. A break below 226.62<\/strong> would strengthen the bearish outlook toward 218.68\u2013213.11<\/strong>. Always apply risk management. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
