🟡 Gold Morning Brief
Spot gold price: $4,321 per ounce. After Wednesday’s CPI came in softer, gold surged to around 4,436. On Thursday, it once touched 4,500 but then quickly pulled back; this morning it fell to around 4,320. Technically, RSI is about 54, and MACD is slightly weak. Price has broken below the 20-day moving average; 4,330 is the key pivot between bulls and bears. Support to watch: 4,300 and 4,280, with further focus on 4,218. Resistance overhead: 4,357 and 4,380, with stronger resistance at 4,440–4,450. Overall, it looks like a weak recovery after a pullback from a high level. As long as 4,300 holds, the market is expected to trade in a range.

🛢️ Crude Oil Morning Brief
WTI is around $81, Brent around $87. A large jump in EIA crude inventories (+17.42 million barrels) has pushed oil prices to keep falling; however, Hormuz-related developments and Middle East geopolitical risks still provide support. WTI support: 80.1; resistance: 82.2–82.7. Brent support: 86.5; resistance: 88–88.9. Supply-demand dynamics and geopolitics continue to tug in opposite directions, so the short term is mainly expected to be range-bound.

₿ Crypto Morning Brief
BTC 63,500 (+0.2%), ETH 1,888 (+0.7%), BNB 610 (+0.3%), SOL 76.2 (+0.8%). Total market cap across the network is about $2.18 trillion. BTC is holding above 63,000; ETH and SOL are relatively stronger, but trading volume remains average. Watch resistance at 64,500, with support at 63,000/62,000.
