Gold is soaring to new highs as demand for precious metals intensifies. The yellow metal is testing critical resistance levels, moving ever closer to the psychological $2,500 mark. Despite the Relative Strength Index (RSI) nearing overbought territory, there remains ample room for further gains if favorable catalysts emerge. The market’s current momentum suggests that gold could continue its bullish trajectory, provided it maintains its upward trend.
In tandem with gold’s rally, silver is also making waves. The gold/silver ratio has retreated below the 84.00 level, sparking renewed interest in silver. Traders are keeping a keen eye on gold’s strong performance, which traditionally bodes well for silver. Should silver surpass the $31.00 level, it is poised to test resistance zones between $31.45 and $31.75. This potential breakout could signal further gains for silver, solidifying its bullish outlook.
Platinum, another key player in the precious metals arena, is also gaining traction. The metal’s recent upward movement aligns with the broader rally in precious metals markets. Additionally, palladium’s 1.9% increase is providing a bullish signal for platinum. If platinum manages to stabilize above the $1,000 level, it will likely face resistance at $1,020 to $1,030. This level of resistance will be crucial in determining platinum’s next directional move.

As gold, silver, and platinum continue their impressive rallies, traders and investors should remain vigilant. The interplay between these metals and market conditions will be key in navigating the next phases of their price movements.
Donald Trump announced today that he’s instituting a 90-day pause on all tariffs except those on China. Bitcoin has surged over $80,000, while altcoins like XRP, Solana, and Cardano surged more than 10% in just minutes of the announcement.
The Dow Jones and stock market reacted similarly, surging by 2,000 points after the news. The US President has now added a total of 125% tariff on China, while pausing others.
Today, however, Trump has made a surprising reversal. Although he is increasing tariffs against China to 125%, he is repealing those on other nations.
Based on the lack of respect that China has shown to the World’s Markets, I am hereby raising the Tariff charged to China by the United States of America to 125%, effective immediately. At some point, hopefully in the near future, China will realize that the days of ripping off…
— Donald J. Trump Posts From His Truth Social (@TrumpDailyPosts) April 9, 2025
This news immediately caused a substantial rally in the markets. At 1:30 PM Eastern Time, the Dow Jones responded by shooting upwards over 2000 points, and this was mirrored in other high-profile stocks.

Still, the erratic nature of Trump’s tariff strategy has left more than a few open questions. In his announcement, Trump only mentioned China’s retaliation strategy by name, lumping all other countries together.
However, a few crucial markets, like the EU, also retaliated. It is currently unclear how Trump will treat other actors, as China is his main target.
Open questions like this may continue to cause market uncertainty. As analyst Joe Wiesenthal pointed out, Trump has already caused a lot of economic chaos with his tariff threats alone.
Will he retaliate against nations other than China? Will former allies continue pulling away from the US? These live questions may frustrate long-term economic gain
Tron (TRX) continues to trade in a tight range around $0.27, with technical indicators pointing to a market in consolidation. Momentum has faded, as shown by a weakening ADX and a neutral RSI hovering near 50, signaling indecision among traders.
The token faces resistance at $0.274 and support at $0.256, with a breakout or breakdown likely to set the next directional move. Meanwhile, SunPump’s new CEX Alliance aims to boost TRON’s meme coin ecosystem, but on-chain activity and revenue remain subdued despite the initiative.
SunPump Launches CEX Alliance, But Platform Activity Remains Low
The alliance brings together several centralized exchanges, including BitMart, Poloniex, LBank, and others, to streamline listing procedures and amplify marketing efforts for promising projects with stable on-chain performance and market caps over $500,000.
Through coordinated campaigns, social exposure, and access to trading events, the initiative seeks to bolster meme coin visibility and foster growth within the TRON network.

However, SunPump’s on-chain metrics paint a more muted picture. Despite the recent announcement, the platform has seen only around 98,300 token launches in total over the past nine months—a figure that Pump.fun often surpasses in less than a week.
Activity on the platform remains subdued, and revenue generation has been underwhelming, with daily earnings frequently falling below $1,000 in recent weeks.
While the CEX Alliance may introduce more exposure and credibility, SunPump’s ability to scale user participation and on-chain performance remains a critical challenge going forward.
TRX Enters Sideways Phase as Trend Strength Weakens
Tron’s Directional Movement Index (DMI) currently shows a weakening trend, with the Average Directional Index (ADX) falling to 11.68 from 24 just three days ago.
The ADX measures trend strength on a scale from 0 to 100, where readings above 25 suggest a strong trend—either up or down—while values below 20 indicate a weak or non-trending market. Alongside the falling ADX, the positive directional indicator (+DI) has declined to 20.74 and the negative directional indicator (-DI) to 15.41, both down significantly from earlier levels.
RSI is a momentum oscillator that ranges from 0 to 100, with values above 70 indicating overbought conditions and below 30 signaling oversold conditions. An RSI near 50 typically reflects balance between buying and selling pressure—suggesting that the market is in equilibrium.
With both DMI and RSI pointing to a lack of strong conviction from either bulls or bears, TRX is likely to remain range-bound in the short term unless a clear catalyst shifts sentiment.
Tron Price Consolidates: Will $0.274 Breakout or $0.256 Breakdown Come First?
Tron has been trading steadily around the $0.27 level over the past week, with its EMA lines pointing to ongoing consolidation.
The token recently failed to break through the $0.274 resistance, which remains a key short-term hurdle.
A successful breakout above that level could open the door for a move toward $0.279 and $0.282, potentially setting up a larger rally to reclaim the $0.30 mark for the first time since December 2024.
However, such a move would likely require renewed momentum and a shift in market sentiment.
On the downside, TRX faces important support at $0.256. If bearish pressure increases and that level is breached, the price could slip further to $0.250, and in a more extended pullback, even test $0.243.
The current setup suggests a market in wait-and-see mode, with traders closely watching for a decisive move in either direction.
