Welcome, my fellow traders! I have prepared a price forecast for the USCrude, XAUUSD, and EURUSD using a combination of the margin zones method and technical analysis. Based on the market analysis, I suggest entry signals for intraday traders.

Gold continues to trade in a short-term downtrend.

New long positions are best considered during a correction from strong support levels. The key support levels are support A at 1.1474–1.1466 and support B at 1.1432–1.1420. If Support A is tested, long positions can be considered with the first target at 1.1512 and the second at 1.1558.
