Short-Term Analysis for Oil, Gold, and EURUSD for 26.10.2026

Alex Rodionovhttps://www.litefinance.org/blog/authors/alex-rodionov/

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

Gold is trading within a short-term downtrend.

Major Takeaways

• USCrude: Oil broke through the Target Zone of 100.93–99.60 late last week.
• XAUUSD: Gold has reached the Target Zone of 3,978–3,957.
• EURUSD: The euro is holding near resistance B at 1.1251–1.1239.

Oil Price Forecast for Today: USCrude Analysis

Last Friday, the oil price pierced the upper Target Zone of 100.93–99.60. The next upside target is the Gold Zone of 104.47–104.03. After opening with a gap down today, the price is testing the Target Zone from above. If the price remains above this zone, it may rally and exceed the Friday high.

If the oil price breaks below the Target Zone, the correction will continue toward support A at 98.82–98.38. Once this zone is tested, consider long trades, with the first target at 100.82.

USCrude Trading Ideas for Today:

Buy near support A at 98.82–98.38. TakeProfit: 100.82, 103.25. StopLoss: 97.31.

Gold Forecast for Today: XAUUSD Analysis

Gold is trading within a short-term downtrend and is testing the Target Zone of 3,978–3,957. If the price breaks below this zone, the next downside target will be the Gold Zone of 3,875–3,865.

If bulls manage to defend the Target Zone, the price may start to climb toward resistance A at 4,088–4,078. Once this zone is tested, consider short trades, with the first target at 4,031 and the second target around 3,975.

XAUUSD Trading Ideas for Today:

Sell near resistance A at 4,088–4,078. TakeProfit: 4,031, 3,975. StopLoss: 4,113.

Euro/Dollar Forecast for Today: EURUSD Analysis

The euro continues to trade within a short-term downtrend. The price has been testing the resistance zone B at 1.1251–1.1239 throughout the past week. Eventually, sellers successfully held this resistance. Consequently, this week, consider holding previously opened positions until the asset reaches the first target at 1.1182. Once it is reached, you can close some positions and move the remaining ones to the breakeven point.

If the EURUSD pair breaks below the 1.1182 level, the next downside target will be 1.1113. Should the asset break above resistance B, the short-term trend will turn bullish.

EURUSD Trading Ideas for Today:

Hold short trades opened near resistance B at 1.1251–1.1239. TakeProfit: 1.1182, 1.1113. StopLoss: 1.1273.
