Gold hits $4,254 low after U.S. sentiment data. September's final Michigan reading was 48.1, above the 47.8 preliminary but below August's 51.7. Year-ahead inflation expectations rose to 4.6% from 4.0%. #Gold last traded at $4,265.30, down 0.20%. kitco.com/news/article/2026-…

Gold holding its own around $4,300 as US durable goods remains resilient (Kitco News) - Gold continues to hold the line around $4,300 an ounce but could continue to face some headwinds as the U.S. manufacturing sector remains fairly resilient. The Commerce Department announced Friday that U.S. durable goods orders were virtually unchanged in August, following July’s revised increase of 0.9%. The data was slightly stronger than expected, as the consensus view among economists called for a decline of 0.3%. However, core durable goods orders, which strip out the volatile transportation sector, rose 0.3% last month, compared to July’s increase of 0.4%. According to consensus estimates, economists were expecting a 0.4% increase. Meanwhile, non-defense capital goods orders excluding aircraft rose 1.6% in August, well above expectations for a 0.5% increase. “The headline here is flat, but the core orders matter much more for the underlying direction of the economy, and that's a great number that helps to back up the bullish view on the economy,” said Adam Button, head of currency strategy at investingLive. The gold market is not seeing any major reaction to the latest economic data. Spot gold last traded at $4,298.70 an ounce, up 0.60% on the day. Some analysts note that #gold could still struggle, as the latest manufacturing data gives the @federalreserve more room to continue tightening interest rates to deal with the persistent inflation threat.

Gold and #silver rise as crude eases. Early Friday, spot #gold was near $4,300.00 (+0.62%) and silver near $64.760 (+1.62%). U.S.-Iran truce hopes cooled crude, but elevated yields kept bullion on track for a weekly loss. kitco.com/news/article/2026-…

The Dow: Gold ratio shows stocks are down 33% since 2023 – and the next crash will come by 2030 – Mises Institute (Kitco News) – The most important measure of inflation–the one against which investment decisions and monetary policies are benchmarked– is inaccurate, outdated and misleading by design, and the ratio between the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the gold price is the only reliable alternative, according to economist Vasilii Sapozhnikov at the Mises Institute. “On August 12 the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that consumer prices rose 0.1 percent in July and 3.4 percent over the previous twelve months, a tenth of a point below June,” Sapozhnikov wrote in a new analysis. “Markets treated the print as confirmation that the measuring rod is behaving.” kitco.com/news/article/2026-…

I'm watching for pullback entries to bounce, not chasing pumps or going all in on the first dip. Bitcoin's 2.1% pullback hasn't broken its bullish TBO cloud structure. My DCA approach starts with one small order and reserves larger amounts for deeper drops, so a fast-line entry doesn't use all my buying power before the next opportunity. My Bitcoin price analysis centers on the fast line aligning with the historical TBO level near 80,443. Ethereum also remains above its cloud, with a possible fast-line bounce from 2,562 toward 2,789. I still respect the downside risk: stablecoin dominance reaching 10.5% could mean a much sharper crypto pullback, while DXY's confirmed open long adds pressure. A bullish trend isn't a reason to ignore those warnings. I'm watching ONDO for a TBO springboard bounce from roughly 39 cents toward resistance near 44 cents, while allowing for a deeper drop toward 33 cents. FET remains bullish above its cloud, and BNB's faster-timeframe close-long warnings have me waiting for a fast-line entry rather than chasing. DOT's falling slow line makes its bounce setup weaker, while SPX 6900's repeated close-long signals show why I keep taking profits into strength.

Gold under pressure as jobless claims remain below 200K, supporting further rate hikes (Kitco News) - The #gold market remains under pressure and could face further losses as the U.S. labor market remains fairly resilient, with the number of American workers applying for first-time unemployment benefits remaining below a critical level. Initial claims for state unemployment benefits came in at a seasonally adjusted 197,000 for the week ending September 19, the @USDOL Labor Department announced on Thursday. The number was slightly below expectations, as consensus estimates forecast a reading of 201,000 claims. The previous week’s figure was revised slightly higher to 198,000 claims. The gold market is not seeing much reaction to the latest employment data. Spot gold last traded at $4,264.40 an ounce, down 0.50% on the day. The precious metal continues to struggle below $4,300 an ounce as the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield rises to 5.11%, its highest level in 20 years. Persistent inflation pressures continue to drive bond yields higher as the economic environment forces the Federal Reserve to maintain its tightening bias. Some analysts note that the latest employment data could continue to weigh on gold, as a healthy labor market gives the @federalreserve more room to raise interest rates.

Spot gold drops to $4,280/oz as flash S&P composite PMI improves to 58.4 in September (Kitco News) - The #gold market is selling off after the latest U.S. data showed the services sector improving beyond expectations this month, while the manufacturing sector also strengthened.

Crypto pumps won't stop until the market finally delivers the pullback I expect. BTC closed red, but it remains above TBO resistance with the slow line curling higher, so I still see the beginning of a strong bullish uptrend. I am taking partial profits into strength, keeping stablecoins available, and leaving bids near the fast line because a correction would reset the move rather than end it. My Bitcoin price analysis stays bullish, but BTC, ETH, and dominance all warn against chasing. Ethereum is above its cloud with a rising slow line, while bearish RSI divergence points to a pullback; stablecoin dominance also has bullish divergence, and Bitcoin dominance has reversed at its fast line. If both dominance charts rise together, I expect altcoins to absorb the worst of the downside before the broader uptrend resumes. I am watching DXY because its overbought strength is a risk to crypto, while COMP is my favorite early altcoin setup because its breakout cluster arrived before a major pump. UNI remains strongly bullish with a rising slow line, FET keeps rewarding a sell-the-rip and buy-the-dip plan, and Injective is coiling in a classical bull flag. These are the kinds of setups where I want exposure without abandoning profit-taking or lower bids.
