One Asset, One Chart, One Lesson: Gold

Dec 10, 2025

There are times when a chart looks so extended that every instinct says, “This has to pull back soon.” Gold gave that exact feeling through much of October. It moved fast and it barely paused. Every dip was small and short-lived. And if you were looking at any typical momentum indicator (like the RSI), you’d have seen the same message repeating: overbought.

Gold Smashes Through $3,500 – Here’s What’s Really Going On

Gold has had plenty of big moments over the years, but crossing the $3,500 mark this week feels different. On 2 September, prices briefly touched $3,530 an ounce, making headlines everywhere.

Why Markets React to Jobs Data (NFP) the Way They Do

Every trader has a few dates they circle on the calendar each month. For many, the first Friday sits right at the top of that list. That is when the US Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) report is released, and it often dictates the mood of global markets for days afterward. Even if you do not trade US equities or the dollar directly, you still feel the ripple effect. NFP has a way of pulling the wider market into alignment because the labour market is one of the cleanest windows into the real economy. When hiring strengthens, it carries a message. When it weakens, that message becomes even louder.

Back in 2022-23, the Fed’s aggressive rate hikes and waves of global risk-off sentiment pushed the dollar higher and higher. The DXY hovered in the low 100s, with every Fed speech and CPI print moving the needle. It was the trade that just kept working.

For two years, the dollar’s climb against the yen has been one of the biggest stories in FX, powered by a yawning interest-rate gap between the US and Japan. That gap made shorting the yen almost a no-brainer. But now, things feel… different. The pair is pressing against multi-decade highs, volatility is ticking up, and Tokyo is sounding more urgent. It’s the kind of moment where traders pause and ask: Is this the top?
