Technical analysis by Timonrosso about Symbol PAXG on 10/24/2025

So when it's CPI Day. I call it a Medium Probability Trading day. Either I risk less or observe the charts because of the volatile nature CPI has on many main markets like Gold, JSE, US500. ANd today was no different. We first boxed the chop - sideways market This way we don't trade when the market moves in a consolidation period. WHEN TO TRADE WITH MAs Only when the price breaks OUT and the price is below 20MA and below 200MA - We look for shorts. Or when the price breaks OUT and the price is ABOVE 20MA and above 200MA - We look for longs. However, the price remained within the chop until CPI came out. Came out worse than expected, which caused a RALLY with gold in the short term. So you need to consider these anomaly and volatile times when you trade. You might avoid unnecessary losses. Got it? These are just some tips you can take into your account that I have learnt over the last 23 years of trading the markets with the SAME breakout trading system. So let's sum up fundamentals now for those who love economics. When the latest CPI and Core Inflation data hit the markets, traders instantly shifted focus to gold — the ultimate inflation hedge. Let’s break down what unfolded. 🧾 CPI & Core Inflation Data The Consumer Price Index (CPI) came in at 324.8, just below the forecast of 325.01. This slight miss signals that inflation is cooling — a positive sign for markets. Core inflation stayed steady at 3.1% year-on-year, suggesting price pressures remain but are slowly easing. 📊 Market Setup Before the News Before the release, gold prices moved sideways, reflecting trader uncertainty. The phrase “Strike avoided” hinted at calmer market sentiment after earlier risks faded. Everyone was waiting for the data — and volatility was brewing beneath the surface.
