Smart technical reports
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 stabilized near the 98.3 level on Friday but remains on track to record a weekly loss of approximately 1%, concluding a week marked by sharp volatility driven by political and trade developments between the United States and Europe.
•
The decline followed:
Earlier threats by former President Trump to impose tariffs on several European countries.
A sudden policy reversal after the announcement of a framework agreement with NATO granting the United States access rights to Greenland.
•
This fluctuation in political rhetoric has heightened investor uncertainty and weakened confidence in U.S. assets, placing sustained pressure on the greenback.
From a macroeconomic perspective, the latest Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) data came in line with expectations, signaling:
A continued gradual slowdown in inflationary pressures.
Relatively resilient economic activity.
•
Market pricing currently points to:
Interest rates remaining unchanged at the upcoming Federal Reserve meeting.
Expectations of two rate cuts over the course of 2026.
•
Investors are also closely monitoring former President Trump’s potential nomination of the next Federal Reserve Chair, as the appointment of a more dovish candidate could further weigh on the U.S. dollar.
- Gold & Silver:
Gold extended its strong momentum, surging above $4,950 per ounce to register a new all-time high and move toward its strongest weekly performance in years.
•
The rally has been supported by a confluence of factors, including:
Continued weakness in the U.S. dollar
Persistent geopolitical risks
Growing expectations of interest rate cuts
Strong inflows into safe-haven assets
•
Market participants are increasingly viewing gold as a dual hedge—both against elevated political risk and against anticipated monetary easing.
•
As long as the U.S. dollar remains under pressure, the medium-term outlook for gold remains constructive.
- Oil:
•
Oil prices posted modest gains, with Brent crude trading near $64 per barrel and WTI hovering around the $59–60 range.
•
Key sources of support included:
A weaker U.S. dollar
Statements from Saudi Aramco affirming strong global demand
Continued record-level consumption in China and the United States
•
However, upside momentum remained capped due to:
Warnings from the International Energy Agency regarding a potential global supply surplus
Rising prospects of a ceasefire in Ukraine
Easing geopolitical risks related to Iran
•
As a result, the oil market is currently navigating a delicate balance between demand-side support and mounting supply-side pressures.
Bitcoin:
•
Bitcoin is trading in a sideways range below the $90,500 level following a prior corrective decline.
•
At present:
Key support: $89,000–$90,000
Resistance: $91,500–$92,000
A decisive break above resistance could restore bullish momentum, while a failure to hold support may open the door to further downside correction.
•
Overall, the market appears to be in a consolidation phase, awaiting fresh catalysts to determine the next directional move.
