DBG Markets: Market Report for Aug 20, 2025

Market Overview

Markets are positioning themselves ahead of the Federal Reserve's meeting minutes release later today. We are seeing some directional moves in anticipation of the event, but most pairs are awaiting the official output for a clearer path forward.

Market Analysis

GOLD

Gold has broken below its previous low point, finding increased bearish pressure ahead of today's Fed announcement. While the MACD and RSI are currently consolidated, the price action itself is decidedly bearish. We expect to see more selling in the coming days.

SILVER

Silver prices have also moved deeper into negative territory, showing increased bearish momentum and volume. We might expect further selling in the coming days and will wait for bearish setups to emerge.

DXY

The Dollar has found further buying strength, bouncing firmly above the 97.932 support level. We expect the rally to continue, especially if the price sustains its break above the EMA200. The MACD is showing growing buying interest, and the RSI is also reflecting bullish momentum.

GBPUSD

The Pound remains in a muted consolidation phase. The technical picture is mixed, with the MACD showing some weakness while the RSI indicates underlying buying momentum. Until a clearer market direction is established, we will hold off on a directional call.

AUDUSD

The Aussie dollar has found further weakness, breaking below key support as strength returns to the U.S. Dollar. The MACD is now heading downward, with the RSI reflecting this bearish shift.

NZDUSD

Like the Australian Dollar, the Kiwi is seeing an increased probability of a sell-off continuation. With the overall price action having successfully shifted to a selling bias, we will continue to look for more bearish opportunities.

EURUSD

The Euro remains in a tight consolidation range. We will wait to see how the price progresses following the Fed announcement before forming a directional view.

USDJPY

There are no significant changes in our reading for the Yen, as the pair remains stuck within its well-defined consolidation zone.

USDCHF

The Franc is also still consolidated, with both the MACD and RSI confirming the lack of directional momentum.

USDCAD

The USD/CAD pair is currently finding increased buying momentum and volume. We expect this buying pressure to continue in the coming days as broad-based U.S. Dollar strength continues to control the market narrative.
