How they work


A likely scenario for today is proposed, and the probability of this scenario occurring according to technical analysis may be between 60% and 75%.

If the first scenario fails, the probability of the second scenario occurring becomes between 60% and 75%.

The first scenario fails when the price reaches the level of the alternative scenario condition, and immediately the alternative scenario is activated and the prediction from the first scenario is cancelled.

These reports are not considered a substitute for a trader’s decision, but rather a tool to assist the follower in making their own decisions, as a reference based on the principles of classical technical analysis.

Fundamental Analysis

  • The U.S. Dollar and Monetary Policy:


The U.S. Dollar Index fell to around 98.8 on Monday, snapping a four-day rally, after reports emerged that federal prosecutors had launched a criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell—raising serious concerns about the independence of the U.S. central bank.

Powell described the move as a form of political pressure aimed at pushing the Federal Reserve to align its monetary policy with the Trump administration’s agenda, warning that such actions could undermine the Fed’s ability to make independent, data-driven decisions.

The dollar also came under additional pressure following:

Friday’s nonfarm payrolls report, which showed weaker-than-expected job growth.

Growing market bets on two additional interest-rate cuts in 2026.

Investors are now turning their attention this week to U.S. inflation data and earnings reports from major banks as key catalysts for assessing the future trajectory of monetary policy.

  • Gold & Silver:

Gold prices surged more than 1% on Monday, climbing above $4,600 per ounce to set a new all-time high, supported by:

Escalating geopolitical risks, particularly in Iran.

Growing concerns over the independence of the Federal Reserve.

Continued weakness in the U.S. dollar.

Expectations of further U.S. interest-rate cuts.

Gold continues to benefit from its role as a safe-haven asset amid an environment characterized by:

Heightened political uncertainty.

Increasing pressure on monetary policy credibility.

Rising geopolitical tensions across the Middle East and Latin America.

  • Oil:


Oil prices posted modest gains as tensions in the Middle East intensified, with Brent crude trading near $63 per barrel and West Texas Intermediate hovering around $59 per barrel.

Protests in Iran have entered their third week, with reports of hundreds of fatalities and a tightening security crackdown, raising concerns over the stability of supply from Iran, which exports nearly 2 million barrels per day and ranks as the fourth-largest producer within OPEC.

Additional factors lending support to prices include:

Ongoing uncertainty surrounding Venezuelan oil exports following tighter U.S. sanctions.

President Trump’s warning to Cuba of potential cuts to oil supplies and financial support in the absence of an agreement with Washington.

Despite these geopolitical risks, markets remain cautious, closely monitoring the impact of abundant global supply on the medium-term outlook.

  • Bitcoin:


Bitcoin fell below the $92,000 level before attempting a rebound from around $89,220.

Current price action points to:

Weakening bullish momentum.

Strong technical resistance near the $92,000 threshold.

Bitcoin appears to be undergoing a technical correction following recent gains, as investors await fresh catalysts that could restore positive momentum—particularly in an environment marked by:

  • Elevated volatility.
  • Heightened sensitivity to geopolitical and macro-financial developments.
