Market’s hopes disproven

Iran denies Trump’s claims pushing Oil prices higher
Oil prices edged higher in today’s Asian session, despite tumbling yesterday. The drop of oil’s prices was caused by a post of US President Trump that negotiations are underway with Iran, are productive a deal could be made and US airstrikes are to stop for five days. Yet Iran denied that negotiations are taking place, allowing uncertainty to re-emerge. Analysts highlight the possibility the war dragging on until April, which may continue to support oil prices and maintaining worries for inflationary pressures.

$BNB USD retreats before correcting higher
The USD strengthened slightly in the FX market in today’s Asian session after losing substantial ground yesterday due to Trump’s post. Fundamentals may continue to lead the markets, yet Aussie traders may also keep a close eye on the release of Australia’s CPI rates for February in tomorrow’s Asian session. A possible acceleration of the rates could provide some support for AUD.

US stock markets rise
$USDE Dow Jones, Nasdaq and S&P 500 ended Monday in the greens as the market sentiment improved. The drop of oil prices and the possibility of an end in the war in Iran all tended to support a more risk-on approach by the markets. Yet equity markets seem to proceed cautiously as conflicting signals for the issue emerge.

Gold recovers losses
Gold’s price recovered most of yesterday’s losses, as market worries for the war in Iran tended to calm, the USD weakened, and expectations for inflationary pressures eased temporarily. We still expect substantial volatility in gold’s price to remain, with the war in Iran enhancing expectations for the Fed to keep its monetary policy tight, thus weighing on gold’s price.

Other highlights for today
Today we get the preliminary March PMI figures of France, Germany, the Euro Zone as a whole, the UK and the US. We also note the release of UK’s CBI indicator for March and the US API weekly crude oil inventories figure. On a monetary level, we note that ECB’s Machado, Cipollone and Lane are scheduled to speak. In tomorrow’s Asian session Japan’s Chain Store Sales for the same month, while Fed Board Member Barr is scheduled to speak and BoJ is to release the minutes of the January meeting.

Charts to keep an eye out
$XAU /USD’s reversed yesterday’s losses breaking the 4250 (S1) resistance line, now turned to support. Yet the precious metal’s price remained below the downward trendline hence we maintain a bearish outlook for gold’s price at the current stage. Should the bears remain in control, we may see gold’s price breaching the 4250 (S1) support line and start aiming for the 3890 (S2) support level. For a bullish outlook to emerge, we require gold’s price to break the prementioned downward trendline and continue to break also the 4550 (R1) resistance line, setting the 4995 (R2) resistance level in its sights.

WTI’s price dropped yesterday breaking lower boundary of its past sideways motion, namely the 92.25 (R1) support line, now turned to resistance. The intense downward motion of the commodity’s price forces us to temporarily switch our sideways motion bias, yet we note the discontinuance of the bearish movement in today’s Asian session, and the RSI indicator which has not breached below the reading of 50, implying an absence of a bearish market sentiment for WTI’s price. Should the bulls be in the driver’s seat, we may see WTI’s price breaking the 92.25 (R1) resistance line and start actively aiming for the 100.90 (R2) resistance level. Should the bears remain in charge, we may see WTI’s price breaking the 87.10 (S1) support line and start aiming for the 82.00 (S2) support level.

#GOLD_UPDATE $XAU As of late March 2026, the forecast for gold has entered a period of intense volatility following a historic rally earlier in the year. While the long-term structural outlook remains bullish for many analysts, the immediate "safe-haven" narrative is facing a significant test.
Current Market Snapshot (March 2026)
After reaching all-time highs near $5,500–$5,600/oz in early 2026, gold has recently experienced a sharp correction.
Recent Price Action: In mid-March, gold saw its largest weekly drop since 1983, plunging roughly 11% to 15% from its peaks to trade around the $4,400–$4,500/oz range.
The "Inverse" Safe-Haven Effect: Paradoxically, recent escalations in the Middle East (specifically involving U.S.-Iran tensions) have pressured gold. Rising oil prices have spiked inflation fears, leading markets to believe the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates higher for longer, which increases the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding gold.
Price Forecasts: 2026 – 2027
Despite the recent "flash crash," major institutions maintain elevated price targets for the remainder of the year. #GOLD_UPDATE

​In the world of finance, successful trading isn't just about picking the right stocks or assets; it’s about capital preservation. If you don't manage your balance effectively, even the best strategy will eventually fail.
​1. The Golden Rule: Risk Management
​The most critical part of training is learning to limit your downside. Professional traders rarely risk more than 1% to 2% of their total account balance on a single trade. For example, if your balance is $1,000, your maximum loss per trade should be capped at $10–$20. This ensures that a string of losses won't wipe out your account.
​2. Utilizing Stop-Loss (SL) and Take-Profit (TP)
​Think of a Stop-Loss as your financial safety net. It is an automated order that closes your position at a specific price to prevent further losses. Conversely, Take-Profit levels help you lock in gains before the market reverses. Using these tools removes the emotional "guesswork" from your trading.
​3. Understanding Leverage
​While leverage can amplify your profits, it is a double-edged sword that can also accelerate the depletion of your balance. During your training phase, it is vital to use low leverage until you have a proven track record of consistency. High leverage is often the primary reason new traders lose their entire balance quickly.
​4. Psychological Discipline & Overtrading
​One of the hardest parts of finance is knowing when to stop. Overtrading—placing too many trades out of boredom or a desire to "win back" losses—is a balance killer. Stick to your plan, meet your daily targets, and walk away. Discipline is the bridge between a shrinking balance and a growing portfolio.
​Key Takeaways for Traders:
​Diversify: Never put your entire balance into one asset.
​Track Everything: Keep a journal of your trades to see where your balance is leaking.
​Stay Educated: The market changes constantly; keep your training up to date with current trends.
