Market Whipsaws
It was a difficult session to attribute to any single dominant theme, with sentiment swinging sharply throughout the day. Tech and chip stocks initially rallied but quickly reversed, dragging the Nasdaq down as much as 2% before buyers stepped in near the lows.
Sentiment Swings and News Flow
Late-session support was partly driven by renewed optimism around AI developments following the release of “Claude Mythos” (Fable 5) and reports that a SpaceX IPO could be up to four times oversubscribed. However, geopolitical headlines weighed heavily, including reports that Iran had disabled a US Apache helicopter using drones.
Geopolitical Risk Rising
Markets also reacted to conflicting signals from the White House, with President Trump taking a measured tone while other reports suggested potential escalation and possible strikes. Unverified explosions in Tehran added to uncertainty, even as Iran downplayed intent and signaled reluctance to escalate. Meanwhile, continued Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon kept regional tensions elevated.
Economic data remained steady but was largely ignored as investors await today’s CPI release.

Last week, markets were quite volatile again, with gold soaring to $4,890 but retreating lower this week. EUR/USD slipped to 1.15 while main indices closed the week higher at new records. The moves weren’t too big though, and we opened 34 trading signals in total, finishing the week with 23 winning signals and 9 losing ones.
Gold Returns Slips Toward $4,500
Although demand for safe haven assets is still high, gold fell precipitously from record highs following the Fed’s most recent rate cut comments, as profit-taking was prompted by Powell’s cautious tone. In December, gold jumped above $4,380 following the Federal Reserve’s announcement of a 25 basis point rate decrease. But the impetus soon waned, and prices dropped back to $4,004. The 20o daily SMA (red) held as support this week and buyers returned and pushed XAU above the $4,800 and above the 100 SMA (green).
USD/JPY Rebounds
Foreign exchange markets saw sharp swings. Early in the week, U.S. yield differentials and Japanese capital outflows pushed the dollar above ¥150, but disappointing U.S. jobs data triggered profit-taking, causing the USD/JPY to slide by four yen from its peak. However, the new BOJ governor the JPY has weakened and USD/JPY soared to 154 and we decided to close our buy signal for more than 80 pips as the pair found support at the 20 daily SMA (gray) and has rebounded more than 200 pips off that MA but reversed after the 25 bps rate cut from the FED. The price approached $160 but reversed after the BOJ meeting and fell 8 cents but found support at $152 at the 100 daily SMA (red) and rebounded above 156 but have reversed down again this week after the Japanese elections.

Cryptocurrency Update
Bitcoin Dives Below $70K
Cryptocurrencies remained highly active over the summer. Bitcoin (BTC) climbed to fresh highs of $123,000 and $124,000 in July and August, supported by institutional inflows and technical strength. However, remarks from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent ruling out U.S. increases to BTC reserves triggered a steep pullback, sending the coin down to $80K before finding support at the 100 weekly SMA (green). A rebound followed, sending BTC near $100 is the first major text for Bitcoin buyers. However BTC returned lower and fell below $80K, breaking below the but the 100 weekly SMA (green) but the decline stopped at the $60K support where the 200 weekly SMA (purple) stands and rebounded above $76K but returned below $70K again.
