Weekly Forex Forecast For DXY, EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, And XAUUSD (March 31-April 4, 2025)

By |2025-04-01T00:59:55+02:00April 1, 2025|Forex News, News|0 Comments

The forex market is stuck in a sideways range, but a breakout could be on the horizon.

In today’s video, I’ll show you how I’m trading the DXY, EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, and XAUUSD this week.

Don’t miss it!

US Dollar Index (DXY) Forecast

Like most of the forex market, the DXY has been in a sideways range since early March, trading between 103.00 and 105.00.

However, the USD index has yet to test the 103.00 trend line from 2023 or the descending trend line at 105.00.

That tells me we could see recent highs and lows get swept before the next big move.

For now, I’m anticipating more sideways action until the DXY can prove it’s ready for a breakout.

EURUSD Forecast

EURUSD is also stuck in a sideways range between 1.0777 support and the 1.0900 resistance area.

The euro continues to hold below the 1.0900 region on a weekly closing basis, which aligns with a trend line from late 2022.

It’s tough to justify trading EURUSD while it’s range-bound between these two levels, especially without a clear signal.

GBPUSD Forecast

GBPUSD has struggled to gain momentum since March 5th after a sharp three-day rally.

While I think there’s potential for more upside, I wouldn’t want to go long without a proper test of 1.2830.

That level would clear out liquidity below recent lows and give bulls a clear invalidation point.

There’s also a chance we see a sweep of recent highs first to fully retest the 1.3050 resistance.

As always, it’s a waiting game to see which scenario plays out first.

USDJPY Forecast

USDJPY has some of the cleanest levels in the forex market right now.

The pair recently broke below 148.64, but sellers couldn’t keep prices down.

The move back above 148.64 confirmed the sell-side fakeout and put 151.24 back in play.

For now, USDJPY is sideways, just like much of the forex market.

A sustained break above 151.24 would open the door to 154.80, while a break below 148.64 would expose the 146.60 lows again.

XAUUSD (Gold) Forecast

Gold is going parabolic again this week after breaking above the 2024 ascending channel.

Monday’s session confirmed the breakout with a retest of the level as new support.

Right now, XAUUSD bulls are in full control, so buying pullbacks seems like the best play for intraday traders.

However, if this breakout fails and gold drops back below $3,080 on the high time frames, we could see XAUUSD revisit $3,000 or even lower.

That would signal a failed breakout, which often leads to extended moves in the opposite direction.

But as long as $3,080 holds as support, there’s no reason to be bearish on gold.

    The rate of Binance Coin (BNB) has dropped by 0.31% over the last 24 hours.TradingView”>

    On the hourly chart, the price of BNB is on its way to the local resistance of $606.73. If the daily bar closes around that mark, one can expect a level breakout, followed by a move to the $620 zone.TradingView”>

    On the bigger time frame, the rate of BNB is far from key levels. In this case, traders should focus on the vital zone of $600.

    Silver Price Forecast: Pulls Back After Reaching Highest Weekly Close Since 2012

    By |2025-03-31T23:01:33+02:00March 31, 2025|Forex News, News|0 Comments


    Indicator Confluence Marked Resistance

    Notice on the chart that last week’s new near-term trend high of $33.59 found resistance at the confluence of several indicators. They include the completion of a 100% target for a rising ABCD pattern at $34.51, and two trendlines that mark the top of rising parallel trend channels. There is a larger uptrend that begins from the August 2022 lows and a shorter advance starting from the December lows.

    It can be argued that one of the top channel lines may not be in the perfect location. But the fact that the two lines converged around the same price at the time that silver was approaching, and then resistance was seen, followed by a one-day bearish reversal today, shows why confluence can be so useful.

    Behavior Around 20-Day Moving Average Should Provide Clues

    Since the 20-Day MA was reclaimed on March 11 there has been only one dip to test is at as support. That happened on March 21, and it established a higher swing low. Since resistance has been seen from a high of $34.59, a successful test of support at or above the 20-Day MA, now at $33.35, seems possible. If price is rejected from the area around the 20-Day line, it would be bullish for the short-term uptrend that starts from the late-February higher swing low (C).

    That swing low found support around the 50-Day MA. If this or a similar scenario unfolds then silver may continue to challenge highs and resistance around the top channel lines. Whether that could lead to a sustainable advance or not remains to be seen. It is important to add that silver ended last week at its highest weekly closing price since October 2012. This is consistent with the bullish long-term patterns in the price of silver.

    USD/JPY Forecast: Traders Brace for Trump’s Next Move

    By |2025-03-31T22:58:49+02:00March 31, 2025|Forex News, News|0 Comments

    • The USD/JPY forecast indicates increasing panic over the global economy.
    • The yen was on the front foot at the start of the week.
    • Data showed that the US core PCE price index increased by a bigger-than-expected 0.4%.  

    The USD/JPY forecast indicates increasing panic over the global economy as Trump’s April tariffs loom. As a result, the yen soared on Monday amid safe-haven demand. On the other hand, the dollar collapsed as Treasury yields fell due to increased demand for bonds. 

    -Are you looking for the best AI Trading Brokers? Check our detailed guide-

    The yen was on the front foot to start the week as market participants worried about new Trump tariffs beginning on Wednesday. The US president has promised a 25% auto tariff and reciprocal tariffs on almost all countries that trade with the US. As a result, experts are forecasting an escalation of the global trade war. At the same time, the rising cost of goods might drive inflation higher in most countries. 

    Weak global growth will mean an erosion of investors’ money. Therefore, many traders prefer to put their cash in safe-haven assets like the yen, gold, and US debt. The dollar has remained fragile since Friday despite data showing an unexpected surge in underlying inflation. 

    Notably, the core PCE price index increased by 0.4%. Meanwhile, economists had expected an increase of 0.3%. The inflation report will keep the Fed cautious. This week, traders will watch the US monthly employment figures.

    USD/JPY key events today

    Market participants do not expect any key economic reports today. Therefore, all focus will remain on the looming Trump tariffs.

    USD/JPY 4-hour chart

    On the technical side, the USD/JPY price has broken out of its bullish channel, indicating a bearish shift in sentiment. Currently, the price trades well below the 30-SMA, and the RSI is nearing the oversold region. Therefore, the bearish bias is strong. 

    -Are you looking for the best MT5 Brokers? Check our detailed guide-

    Initially, the price made higher highs and lows within a bullish channel. However, the rally paused when bulls met the 151.01 resistance level. The price made a double top at this level, plus a bearish RSI divergence, signalling a looming reversal. Soon after, a surge in bearish momentum saw the price break below the 30-SMA. At the same time, the RSI dipped into bearish territory below 50. 

    Given the solid bearish momentum, the price will soon retest the 148.25 support level If the downtrend continues, USD/JPY will likely reach the 146.75 support level.

    7 Ways Chondroitin Sulfate May Benefit Your Health

    By |2025-03-31T22:54:57+02:00March 31, 2025|Dietary Supplements News, News|0 Comments


    Chondroitin sulfate is a relatively safe supplement used to support joint and cartilage health. Chondroitin sulfate has become increasingly popular for managing joint pain, particularly related to osteoarthritis (when the protective cartilage within the joints wears down over time). 

    Research highlights chondroitin sulfate’s potential to alleviate pain and inflammation and support cartilage strength, mobility, bone health, and even eye health.

    1. Joint Pain Relief

    Chondroitin sulfate may help reduce joint pain, notably knee pain, in people with osteoarthritis. Studies have found that chondroitin sulfate supplementation decreases knee pain, similar to the anti-inflammatory medication Celebrex (celecoxib). Additionally, chondroitin sulfate may help alleviate pain and improve physical function and movement.

    2. Cartilage Support

    Chondroitin sulfate may help build cartilage and prevent its breakdown. As a major component of cartilage, chondroitin sulfate may promote the production of key cartilage molecules. By reducing inflammatory markers, chondroitin sulfate minimizes the breakdown of cartilage tissue. 

    3. Osteoarthritis Management

    Osteoarthritis is a chronic condition that causes cartilage loss and bone degradation, mainly affecting the joints. Osteoarthritis leads to pain, stiffness, and loss of function. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as Advil or Motrin (ibuprofen) and Aleve (naproxen), are the most common treatment options for osteoarthritis. 

    Chondroitin sulfate is widely used to manage osteoarthritis because of its pain-relieving and cartilage-supporting effects. Research shows that chondroitin sulfate reduces knee pain and improves knee function more than a placebo (an ineffective substance given to people in a clinical trial control group). Moreover, when used daily for two years, chondroitin sulfate may slow the progression of knee osteoarthritis. 

    4. Anti-Inflammatory Effects

    The synovial lining is a thin tissue layer inside joints that produces fluid for lubrication. Chondroitin sulfate may reduce synovitis, an inflammation of the synovial lining. It also inhibits the production of inflammatory markers in the fluid between joints.

    5. Bone Health Boost

    Chondroitin sulfate may support bone health by boosting cartilage to reduce stress on the bones. Osteoarthritis often softens the bone just below the cartilage. Chondroitin sulfate appears to lessen changes in bone associated with the wearing away of cartilage from osteoarthritis.

    6. Mobility Support

    Chondroitin sulfate may improve joint pain, resulting in less stiffness and a better range of motion. These improvements translate to an improved ability to walk, climb stairs, and perform daily activities.

    Maintaining mobility is essential for overall well-being and health and for living independently. Decreased mobility associated with aging increases the risk of diseases, disability, and hospitalizations.

    7. Eye Health Support

    Prescription injectable chondroitin sulfate mixed with sodium hyaluronate protects the eye during cataract surgery. Chondroitin sulfate lubricates the eye to keep the cornea moist and clear during surgery. Some eye drops or contact solutions may contain chondroitin sulfate to reduce corneal swelling and irritation. 

    More research is needed on chondroitin sulfate’s effects on eye health. Only use eye drops containing chondroitin sulfate if your healthcare provider has prescribed them. 

    What Is Chondroitin Sulfate?

    Chondroitin sulfate is a natural glycosaminoglycan, a structural molecule present in joints, skin, and cartilage. Chondroitin sulfate is an integral part of cartilage and other connective tissue.

    • Role in Cartilage and Joint Health: Chondroitin sulfate is a component of cartilage, helping the joint resist compression. Chondroitin interacts with cartilage-producing cells (chondrocytes) to regulate cartilage breakdown and repair, keeping cartilage hydrated, elastic, and able to withstand compressive force.
    • Where It Comes From: Chondroitin sulfate in supplements comes from animals. Animal cartilage from cows, sharks, chicken sternum, or the pig’s trachea, ear, or nose is extracted and purified to create synthetic chondroitin sulfate. 
    • How It Works: Chondroitin sulfate is incorporated into the joint cartilage, influencing cells and enzymes responsible for cushioning the joint and producing more cartilage. It also affects inflammatory markers, contributing to its role in pain management.

    Chondroitin Sulfate vs. Glucosamine

    Chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine are often used individually and together as supplements for joint health. 

    • Key Differences: Glucosamine is an amino acid used to form the molecule glycosaminoglycan, which is a component of cartilage structure. Conversely, chondroitin sulfate is an actual part of the cartilage structure. Glucosamine is a smaller molecule than chondroitin sulfate, making it easier for the body to absorb.
    • Key Similarities: Chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine are components of cartilage that may help with joint pain. They are classified as “symptomatic slow-acting drugs in osteoarthritis” (SYSADOAs), meaning they take time—often several weeks or months—to start working.
    • Comparing Effectiveness: Individually, both chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine may reduce knee pain and changes to joint structure and physical function compared to a placebo. Glucosamine may be more effective at improving joint stiffness than chondroitin sulfate. In contrast, chondroitin sulfate may be more effective at reducing knee pain than glucosamine. 

    Combining Chondroitin Sulfate and Glucosamine

    Research on the benefits of combined glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate supplements is conflicting. Some studies suggest they may prevent the joint space from narrowing. Others show no difference in knee pain compared to a placebo. Additionally, chondroitin sulfate may reduce glucosamine absorption, although further research is needed. 

    Despite its potential effectiveness, many leading musculoskeletal organizations do not recommend using chondroitin sulfate, glucosamine, or a combined nutritional supplement to improve knee pain and function.

    Chondroitin Sulfate Dosage and Forms

    Chondroitin sulfate is available as a prescription medication or over-the-counter supplement at varying dosages. 

    • Recommended Daily Dosage: The generally recommended dose to reduce pain and improve function with knee osteoarthritis is 800 to 1,200 milligrams (mg). However, larger doses of around 1,200 mg daily appear to have a greater effect on symptoms of osteoarthritis. It takes months to see the beneficial effects of chondroitin sulfate. 
    • Factors influencing Dosage: Age, the stage and progression of osteoarthritis, and pain severity may influence how much chondroitin sulfate you take. 
    • Best Time to Take It: There is no best time of day to take chondroitin sulfate. Instead, follow the supplement instructions or heed your healthcare provider’s recommendation. Ultimately, what matters most is that you regularly take chondroitin sulfate to experience its benefits.
    • Different Forms of Chondroitin Sulfate: In the United States, chondroitin sulfate is sold as an over-the-counter oral supplement made with a salt form of chondroitin sulfate. It is also available as an injection in the muscle. Per recommendations from leading osteoarthritis organizations, prescription chondroitin sulfate is preferred to the nutritional supplement. 

    • Bioavailability and Absorption: Chondroitin sulfate is primarily absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract. The body absorbs about 10% to 20% of oral chondroitin sulfate, accumulating a significant amount in the joint. Chondroitin sulfate levels peak about four hours after ingestion.

    Potential Side Effects and Risks

    Avoid chondroitin sulfate supplements if you are allergic to it or its parts (components).

    As with all supplements, chondroitin sulfate has potential side effects and risks, such as: 

    • Side effects: When taken orally, potential side effects of chondroitin sulfate include mild stomach pain, nausea, bloating, diarrhea, and constipation.  
    • Interactions: Chondroitin sulfate—particularly when taken with glucosamine—may increase the risk of bleeding in people taking anticoagulants like Jantoven (warfarin).  
    • Precautions: People who are pregnant or breastfeeding, those with asthma, and people at risk of prostate cancer should consult a healthcare provider before using chondroitin sulfate. It may worsen asthma or contribute to prostate cancer risks. Avoid use in children. It may not be suitable for people practicing veganism due to its animal-derived ingredients.

    Can I Use It Long Term?

    Chondroitin sulfate is intended for long-term use, with many of its beneficial effects apparent after taking it for months or years. It is likely safe for long-term use when taken as directed for up to six years. 

    When to Consult Your Healthcare Provider

    As a supplement, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), chondroitin sulfate is not tested for efficacy, potency, or safety. Speak with your healthcare provider for advice on whether to start chondroitin sulfate if you experience joint pain or stiffness, limited mobility, or have osteoporosis. Your healthcare provider can determine whether chondroitin sulfate may be safe and effective for you.

    Although relatively safe, contact your healthcare provider if you experience any severe abdominal discomfort or other side effects of chondroitin sulfate.

    The FDA does not regulate dietary supplements the way it does for prescription medications. As a result, some supplement products may not contain the ingredients listed on the label. When choosing a supplement, look for products independently tested or certified by organizations such as NSF, U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP), or ConsumerLab.com. For personalized guidance, consult your healthcare provider, registered dietitian nutritionist (RD or RDN), or pharmacist.

    Summary

    Chondroitin sulfate is a relatively safe supplement used for improving knee pain and function. Prescription-grade chondroitin sulfate may be more effective than over-the-counter nutrition supplements due to ingredient potency and reliability. 

    Taking up to 1,200 mg of chondroitin sulfate daily may reduce osteoarthritic knee pain and joint stiffness and improve mobility and physical function. Consult your healthcare provider before starting chondroitin sulfate, especially as some leading musculoskeletal organizations do not fully endorse its use as a pain management treatment.

    Facts About Compounded Medications – HealthyWomen

    By |2025-03-31T21:51:56+02:00March 31, 2025|Fitness News, News|0 Comments

    Perimenopause and menopause symptoms can be brutal. Most women and people assigned female at birth (AFAB) experience vasomotor symptoms (VMS) — night sweats and hot flashes — among other symptoms that can disturb your sleep, affect your mood and lower your quality of life. And these symptoms can go on for years and are associated with an increased risk of serious health conditions over time.

    The good news is that there are treatments that can help with symptoms, bone loss and other issues that happen during menopause. Hormone therapy — treatment that replaces hormones like estrogen and progesterone that fluctuate during perimenopause — is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and considered the gold standard for care, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG).

    However, misinformation about the safety of FDA-approved hormone therapy is still shared online despite evidence that the treatment is safe for most people. The misinformation has led to an increase in interest in alternative hormone treatment options, namely compounded hormone therapy (HT).

    Compounded HT is sometimes marketed as a “natural” alternative to FDA-approved hormone therapy because it may include plant-derived hormones called bioidentical hormones. In reality, there are FDA-approved bioidentical hormone options, such as estradiol and micronized progesterone, and not all bioidentical hormones are compounded.

    In addition to seeking a more “natural” alternative for hormone therapy, people look to compounded HT for customized doses and alternative delivery methods that may not be an option with hormone therapy regulated by the FDA. But the lack of regulation means you don’t know for sure what you’re getting.

    What is a compounded medication?

    Compounded medications are prescription drugs that are altered to fit your specific health needs. For example, if you’re allergic to a type of dye in a medication, the compounded version would be made for you without the dye. The process involves a specially trained pharmacist called a compounding pharmacist who will mix, alter and/or combine ingredients specific to your needs that can’t be met with a standard, mass-produced drug.

    The concern with compounded medications is that commercial drugs are approved by the FDA and compounded medications are not. So, in the case of hormone therapy, a customized treatment sounds good, but the safety, efficiency and quality of the drug can’t be verified because it hasn’t been approved by the FDA.

    Hormone pellets, for example, are a common compounded HT that are inserted under the skin every three months. But as a compounded drug, hormone pellets are not approved by the FDA, which means the dosage, quality and other important factors haven’t been tested. And pellets are designed to dissolve over time — not to be removed — which can be a problem if you experience side effects or health issues.

    “There’s no data to suggest preferred safety or preferred benefit [for compounded drugs],” said Lisa Larkin, M.D., an internal medicine, women’s health and menopause physician and member of HealthyWomen’s Women’s Health Advisory Council.

    Compounded hormone therapy and social media

    Larkin said her patients are hearing about compounded HT from sources on social media — like dieticians, estheticians and menopause coaches who are in credible professions yet have no formal medical training in hormone therapy — rather than from experts on hormone therapy. “They don’t have enough information to be giving them the truth. I think that people who don’t prescribe the medication should not be [saying who] should be taking prescription medications,” she said.

    Both hormone therapy and compounded hormone therapy require a prescription from a healthcare provider. Larkin said people are looking to less reputable sources — a medspa or certain telehealth options — as a way to get compounded HT. “There’s lots of places and ways people are getting compounded products, and it’s lots of times compounded testosterone — and very high doses,” Larkin said. “Patients are coming in after a couple years on the compounded testosterone who were starting to have the male effects of the testosterone and now looking to get off [of it] because they’re bothered by it.”

    In addition to dosage concerns, research shows unregulated hormone therapy can lead to serious health consequences including stroke, renal failure and even death. The lack of evidence on the benefits of compounded HT compared to FDA-approved HT has led professional organizations like ACOG and The Menopause Society to issue statements against compounded HT in favor of FDA-approved treatment when available.

    Talk to your healthcare provider

    When scrolling through social media, it can be hard to ignore advertisements and posts for alternative “natural” therapies to help with sleep, hot flashes, and all the other mental and physical issues that come with menopause. But if you can take FDA-approved hormones, that’s the way to be sure you’re getting consistent, effective and safe hormone therapy.

    There’s a lot of misinformation on the internet about women’s health overall, so talk to your healthcare provider about your options. “Be cautious about who is giving you the advice,” Larkin said.

    Gunzilla Games Raises Nearly $100M, Ushering in the Next Era of AAA Web3 Gaming — TradingView News

    By |2025-03-31T21:13:32+02:00March 31, 2025|News, NFT News|0 Comments


    VICTORIA, Seychelles, March 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The globally renowned crypto exchange BYDFi today announced the global listing of the GUNZ token($GUN), the native asset of the GUNZ Layer1 blockchain developed by German AAA game studio Gunzilla Games. As one of the first crypto economies purpose-built for AAA gaming, GUNZ is rapidly emerging as a standout Web3 project thanks to its strong institutional backing and groundbreaking infrastructure tailored for next-generation gaming.

    GUNZ: A Layer-1 Blockchain Built for AAA Games

    Unlike early play-to-earn experiments driven by hype, GUNZ is purpose-built to embed blockchain seamlessly into high-end gaming environments. The chain ensures true digital ownership of in-game assets while enhancing player experience—without disrupting gameplay.

    Developed by Gunzilla Games, GUNZ will power the studio’s flagship title Off The Grid, a cinematic cyberpunk battle royale that blends high-fidelity storytelling with a native on-chain economy. For a Web3 gaming market that has been largely stagnant, this marks a major leap forward.

    The numbers reflect momentum: GUNZ has already onboarded over 12 million wallet addresses, with more than 230 million on-chain transactions processed—clear signs of the scalability and adoption potential of its gaming-focused ecosystem.

    Off The Grid: Flagship Title Fueling the GUNZ Ecosystem

    Off The Grid features film-quality graphics and immersive storytelling wrapped in a cyberpunk setting. It integrates a full-stack blockchain economy where players can earn and trade in-game NFTs—such as weapons, skins, and gear—directly on the GUNZ network. The game solves one of the key issues in traditional gaming: asset ownership. And it gives NFTs real functionality, rather than speculative hype.

    At the protocol level, GUNZ introduces several innovations to support high-performance gaming while remaining decentralized:

    • Ultra-High Throughput & Near-Zero Gas Fees: Built on a custom Avalanche subnet, GUNZ delivers 12,000+ TPS and transaction fees below $0.0001.
    • Game Engine Compatibility: Native support for Unity and Unreal plugins allows traditional games to integrate in as little as 72 hours.
    • Hybrid Validator Network: With node operators including Delphi Ventures and community stakers, GUNZ balances efficiency with decentralization.

    Backed by Capital, Powered by Utility

    Gunzilla Games has raised $76 million to date:

    • In August 2022, the company closed a $46M round led by Republic Capital, with participation from Griffin Gaming Partners, Animoca Brands, Jump Crypto, and Twitch co-founder Justin Kan.
    • In March 2024, it secured a $30M follow-on round co-led by Avalanche’s Blizzard Fund and CoinFund.

    GUNZ has a total token supply of 10 billion, with an initial circulating supply of 6.05%. The token fuels multiple use cases across the ecosystem, including gas payments, in-game transactions, governance, and rewards—laying the foundation for a sustainable and scalable Web3 gaming economy.

    As Gunzilla Games CTO Timur Davidenko put it at the recent developer summit:

    “We’re not putting a game on a chain—we’re growing a chain from within the game.”

    Gold price forecast update – 31-03-2025

    By |2025-03-31T21:00:33+02:00March 31, 2025|Forex News, News|0 Comments


    Even as the Stochastic continues  to send out negative signals, as the price holds its ground above $5.00, it underpins the upward trend, however the price might engage in some sideways trading to gather enough momentum and rush towards $5.150, then target the major resistance at $5.340.

     

    However, a breach of $5.00 would send the price towards more correctional negative trades towards $4.9200, then $4.8100.

     

    Expected trading range today is between $5.000 and 

    $5.1500.

     

    Today’s price forecast: Bullish
