XAG/USD price trend(2026.01.01)

On January 1, 2026 (GMT-5), XAG/USD rebounded amid thin New Year’s holiday liquidity, opening lower following the late-December sharp selloff before climbing 2.20% to close at approximately $72.57, with an intraday range of $71.14 to $73.02. The upside momentum was driven by core bullish fundamentals: persistent 2026 Federal Reserve rate cut expectations, sustained global geopolitical tensions (including Russia-Ukraine conflicts and U.S.-Venezuela frictions), severe global silver supply shortages (continuous structural deficits and historic low inventories), and robust industrial demand from solar and tech sectors. However, gains were capped by lingering concerns over CME’s earlier silver futures margin hikes and potential short-term profit-taking, though the pair retained most of its extraordinary 2025 annual gain of nearly 180%.

The market outlook for tomorrow is bullish, with a target price of 73.50.

XAU/USD price trend(2026.01.01)

On January 1, 2026 (GMT-5), XAU/USD extended its fluctuation and adjustment amid thin holiday liquidity, opening at $4,342.92, trading within a wide range of approximately $4,274.44 to $4,373.07, and closing 0.45% lower at around $4,318.85. The downward pressure stemmed from lingering technical selling following the prior session’s sharp plunge (over 4%), coupled with year-end profit-taking and reduced market activity due to New Year’s Day holidays in major economies. However, the decline was limited by core bullish drivers: persistent Federal Reserve rate cut expectations for 2026 (projected 3 cuts totaling 75bp), sustained central bank gold purchases (global central banks set to continue buying in 2026), ongoing geopolitical tensions (including Middle East unrest and Russia-Ukraine conflicts), and the long-term “de-dollarization” trend, which helped the precious metal retain most of its 2025 gains (nearly 70% year-on-year) despite short-term volatility.

The market outlook for tomorrow is bearish, with a target price of 4284.49.

ETH price trend(2026.01.01)

On January 1, 2026 (GMT-5), Ethereum (ETH) traded with heightened volatility amid muted holiday liquidity, closely tracking Bitcoin’s intraday swings and closing marginally lower by 1.5% at approximately $3,120 after fluctuating between an intraday low of $3,050 and a high of $3,210. The session was shaped by a mix of bearish and bullish factors: persistent institutional risk aversion was reflected in $72.06 million in net outflows from U.S. Ethereum spot ETFs on the preceding day (December 31), while Grayscale’s ETHE recorded zero net flows on January 1, signaling a cautious “wait-and-see” stance among institutional investors; these headwinds were partially offset by continued accumulation of over 118,000 ETH by large whales amid the price dip and lingering optimism from the December 2025 Fusaka upgrade, which enhanced Layer 2 scalability and drove over $140 million in institutional asset deployments. Trading volume remained subdued at $12.8 billion, 18% below the 30-day average, lacking sufficient momentum for a meaningful rebound, with market sentiment entrenched in “extreme fear” (Fear & Greed Index at 22) amid unresolved uncertainty around the Federal Reserve’s 2026 rate-cut path. Technically, ETH found support around the $3,050 level, with immediate resistance at $3,250, and the near-term outlook remained tied to BTC’s price action and upcoming macroeconomic cues from the Fed.

The market outlook for tomorrow is bullish, with a target price of 3079.52.

BTC price trend(2026.01.01)

On January 1, 2026 (GMT-5), Bitcoin (BTC) kicked off the new year with heightened volatility amid subdued holiday liquidity, trading between an intraday low of $87,000 and a high of $89,000 before closing marginally lower at approximately $87,800—marking a 1.2% 24-hour decline. The session was characterized by a sharp intraday pullback from the $89,000 level, triggering widespread liquidations that saw over 164,000 traders wiped out with total liquidation value exceeding $228 million, predominantly from long positions ($157 million). Key bearish drivers included persistent institutional risk aversion reflected in $144 million in net outflows from U.S. spot BTC ETFs, lingering market pessimism following BTC’s 22% December drop (its worst monthly performance since December 2018) and over 30% decline from its October 2025 all-time high of $126,000, alongside conflicting Fed rate cut expectations (market pricing in two 2026 cuts vs. some forecasts of three). Offsetting these headwinds was continued BTC accumulation by El Salvador (holding 7,517 BTC as of early 2026) and technical support around the $87,000–$85,000 range. Trading volume remained muted at $16.5 billion, lacking sufficient momentum to drive a meaningful rebound, with market sentiment entrenched in “extreme fear” (Fear & Greed Index at 20) and near-term technical indicators leaning 80% bearish.

The market outlook for tomorrow is bullish, with a target price of 89774.14.

XAG/USD price trend(2025.12.29)

On December 29, 2025 (GMT-5), XAG/USD witnessed extreme volatility with a sharp plunge of nearly 9%—its largest single-day drop since 2021—after hitting a fresh all-time high near $86.00 in early trading, ultimately sliding to below $75.00. The selloff was triggered by CME Group’s increased margin requirements for silver futures, forcing leveraged investors to liquidate positions en masse, and amplified by year-end profit-taking, thin market liquidity, and fading safe-haven demand amid heightened hopes of a Ukraine peace deal. Despite the steep correction, the pair found support near the $74.00 level (around the 21-period SMA) and retained its extraordinary year-to-date gain of over 180%, underpinned by lingering bullish drivers including 2026 Federal Reserve rate cut expectations, robust industrial demand from solar, EV, and AI sectors, persistent global supply constraints, and strong ETF inflows.

The market outlook for tomorrow is bearish, with a target price of 73.35.

XAU/USD price trend(2025.12.29)

On December 29, 2025 (GMT-5), XAU/USD experienced a volatile “drop-and-rebound” session amid thin year-end liquidity, plunging sharply initially before staging a strong recovery to avoid deep losses. The pair traded within a wide range of approximately $4,420 to $4,505, with the initial selloff triggered by CME’s gold futures margin hike—forcing leveraged investors to liquidate positions—and amplified by year-end profit-taking and portfolio rebalancing. The dollar’s modest technical recovery (DXY closing around 97.70) also weighed on gold in the early session, though the greenback’s strength remained corrective amid lingering Fed rate cut expectations for 2026. The rebound was driven by intact core bullish drivers: sustained safe-haven demand from ongoing geopolitical tensions, persistent central bank gold purchases amid heightened sanctions risk, and bargain-hunting by ETF investors, with the pair ultimately closing near $4,480 to retain most of its recent gains and keep its year-to-date advance above 69%.

The market outlook for tomorrow is bearish, with a target price of 4334.43.

ETH price trend(2025.12.29)

As of December 29, 2025 (GMT-5), Ethereum (ETH) tracked Bitcoin’s intraday volatility but underperformed relative to BTC, trading between a low of $2,885 and a high of $2,972 during the Asian session—briefly testing resistance near $2,970 before succumbing to broader crypto market selling pressure and closing lower at approximately $2,910, marking a 1.2% 24-hour decline with a trading volume of $22.45 billion and a market cap of $348.2 billion. The initial upward push, fueled by spillover momentum from BTC’s rally past $90,000, renewed institutional interest in ETH tokenized products, and optimism around the upcoming 2025 Fusaka upgrade timeline, was offset by lingering concerns over declining DEX volume (down 12% week-over-week) and persistent ETH ETF outflows (totaling $95 million over the past three sessions), while overall market sentiment remained cautious as trading volume stayed 10% below the 30-day moving average. Technically, immediate support for ETH held at $2,890–$2,900 and resistance at $2,960–$2,975, with market focus aligned with BTC on the upcoming Federal Reserve policy meeting minutes for potential directional cues; the next-day outlook for ETH is cautiously bullish, with a projected target price of $2,945.75.

The market outlook for tomorrow is bullish, with a target price of 2997.02.

BTC price trend(2025.12.29)

On December 29, 2025 (GMT-5), Bitcoin (BTC) witnessed dramatic intraday volatility, surging as high as $90,230 during the Asian trading session before erasing gains to close lower around $87,318, marking a 0.64% 24-hour decline with a trading volume of approximately $48.99B and a market cap of $1.75T. The initial rally past the key $90,000 psychological level was driven by renewed geopolitical tensions (fading Russia-Ukraine peace hopes), surging oil prices stoking inflation-hedging demand, steady inflows into U.S. spot BTC ETFs, and short-term retail bullish positioning in futures markets—though cautious sentiment persisted as trading volume remained 16% below the 30-day average. Technically, key levels included immediate support around $87,250–$88,000 and resistance at $90,500–$91,500, with market focus turning to the upcoming Fed policy meeting minutes for potential directional catalysts.

The market outlook for tomorrow is bullish, with a target price of 88313.65.

XAU/USD price trend(2025.12.28)

On December 28, 2025 (GMT-5), XAU/USD continued its historic rally to a fresh record high of around $4,531.8, with the pair opening higher, trading within a range anchored by key support at $4,500 and resistance near $4,550, and closing 1.17% higher amid unrelenting bullish momentum. The upside was driven by a confluence of catalysts: reinforced expectations of the Federal Reserve’s first rate cut in March 2026, a weakening U.S. dollar index (down over 10% year-to-date), elevated safe-haven demand from ongoing geopolitical tensions (including Red Sea shipping attacks and Middle East unrest), sustained central bank gold purchases, and growing inflows into gold-backed ETFs like SPDR. This gain pushed the precious metal’s year-to-date advance to over 70%, on track for its strongest annual performance in nearly half a century, while market sentiment remained upbeat with 73% of investors forecasting further upside in the coming week.

The market outlook for tomorrow is bearish, with a target price of 4506.76.

ETH price trend(2025.12.28)

On December 28, 2025 (GMT-5), Ethereum (ETH) traded cautiously within the $2,938–$2,960 range, hovering below the key $3,000 psychological level with neutral near-term momentum—marked by a 14-day RSI of 53.45 and mixed technical signals (bullish MACD yet overbought Stochastic indicator)—while logging persistent ETF outflows ($185M in three recent sessions, following two consecutive months of net redemptions) and muted spot demand amid 40% of addresses holding unrealized losses. The constrained price action reflected conflicting forces: ongoing headwinds from declining protocol revenue (57% drop YoY) and cooling DEX volume (65% off August peaks) clashed with tailwinds from 2025’s Fusaka upgrade (boosting throughput to record 1.73M weekly transactions) and whale accumulation around $2,950, alongside institutional interest in tokenized products and a 22% ETH staking rate. Key support held near $2,938 (the day’s projected price) with resistance capped at $3,000, and the next-day outlook pointed to a stable target around $2,938.44.

Bearish outlook for tomorrow’s market, target price 2915.01.
