ASTRO Analysis

🟡 Gold (XAUUSD) Outlook :

This is a three-phase week:
Intensity → Expansion → Reality check.
* Early week (Scorpio Moon):
Emotion runs deep.
Expect sharp downside reactions AND aggressive bounce attempts.
Volatility is hidden but powerful — moves can appear suddenly.
* Mid-week (Sagittarius Moon):
Optimism and momentum dominate.
Fast upside pushes are likely, but over-extension risk is high.
Breakouts may look convincing, yet many will fail late.
* Late week (Capricorn Moon):
Reality returns.
Profit-booking, corrections, and level respect dominate.
Sustainable trends matter more than speed.

👉 Emotional pressure → Momentum attempts → Correction & structure

⚪️ Silver (XAGUSD) Outlook :

Silver remains more reactive than Gold throughout the week.
* Early week:
Sharp drops and fast recoveries possible under Scorpio Moon.
Direction flips quickly.
* Mid-week:
Strong speculative buying possible, but risk of bull traps is high.
Volatility expands aggressively.
* Late week:
Cleaner but heavier tone.
Corrections can be deeper than Gold as Mars–Capricorn pressure builds.

👉 Volatility first → Speculative spikes → Heavy correction

📊 Market Mood :

* Monday: Intense, emotional, sudden reactions
* Tuesday: Volatile continuation, sentiment swings
* Wednesday: Optimistic, fast, momentum-driven
