Gold back to support zone

Gold is back to the support zone seen in June, after seeing its gains on Thursday knocked back. Some small gains this morning will not really change the overall negative view. It would need a close back above $1930 to suggest that a low has been formed.

Further declines below the 200-day SMA and the $1900 level will amplify the bearish view and open the way to a retracement in the direction of the March low at $1806, the next major support level.

Brent still in short-term uptrend

While oil prices fell back yesterday, the overall move higher is still intact. This still leaves the price on course to break above the $87.20 support level, and then on towards the $89 highs from January.

In the short-term, a move back below $85 would break trendline support and possible result in a pullback or consolidation. For the moment however, there is little sign of any bearish price action.

Natural Gas steady after Thursday’s drop

After rallying steadily all week the price fell back yesterday as profit-taking set in. In the short-term a move back below 2786 might signal that a move back to the 50-day SMA was in the offing.

Bulls would certainly be pleased to see the price hold above 2786 as it might then allow the price to move back to Wednesday’s highs around 3050, and then on towards the 200-day SMA.

A move back below 2626 would be a fresh bearish development and suggest that the recent bounce was merely a short-lived development.

If you're into crypto like me, you won't want to miss this! $CATS Airdrop Claiming First off, the $CATS airdrop is happening soon, and it's super easy to claim. Exchange like Bitget have partnered with Cats to offer a gas-free airdrop on Telegram. This means you can claim your tokens without worrying about those pesky gas fees!

The ongoing Launchpool This is a fantastic opportunity to farm some extra tokens. The total distribution for this event is a whopping 19.5 billion $CATS tokens. If you've participated in Launchpool events before, you know how user-friendly and rewarding they can be. Why I'm Excited As someone who has been using the exchange for a while, I appreciate their transparency and the ease of use of their platform. The fact that they are making the airdrop gas-free is a huge plus. Plus, the Launchpool events are always a great way to earn some extra tokens with minimal effort.

    • Many players have start criticizing Memefi for their increase demand for Ton as the criteria for the airdrop eligibility remain unknown. While the project trend on x many users continue to ask kols on the eligibility and listing date of the project. The uncertainty on the requirements for airdrop remain unknow but the project announced 9th as the listing date. Key note on Memefi: MemeFi operates on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), specifically utilizing the Linea network, an Ethereum layer-2 solution for better scalability and lower transaction fees. Memefi has planned a generous distribution of its tokens, with 90% allocated for community rewards, including airdrops and play-to-earn incentives, aiming to foster long-term engagement. Users are advised to prepare for the airdrop by ensuring they have their private keys secure and ready for importing into wallets like Bitget wallet to avoid withdrawal issues due to potential server overloads during the TGE. Pre-market trading on Bitget and currently $0.029. Sentiment on Memefi is divide as some are bullish on the project while some feels is another failed project due to their demand for Ton to spin. While the community's reaction indicates a need for Memefi's developers to enhance transparency and communication to maintain or rebuild trust do you think this will be another top airdrop project or you fade?
