Market Pulse Dec 22: Gold's Unstoppable Surge & BTC's V-Shape Recovery.

Release Time: 10:00 AM – December 22, 2025 Issuer: Mr. Loki

MARKET OVERVIEW

1. Stock Market:

  • Vietnam Market: The market continues its recovery after finding support near the MA100 zone, climbing above the MA20 and approaching the critical resistance level of 1,700–1,710 points. Improved liquidity indicates that cash flow is actively driving upward momentum. However, this remains a strong resistance zone, and the rally is currently heavily dependent on the VIC group, with market breadth yet to show clear signs. Consequently, the market is likely to experience strong fluctuations and tug-of-war around the 1,700–1,710 range in the near future before confirming a more sustainable uptrend.

  • US Market: In the December 19 session, Wall Street gained as buying pressure returned to the tech and AI sectors, helping the market bounce back from the previous week's decline. The S&P 500 rose approximately 0.9% to ~6,834.5, the Nasdaq Composite edged up ~1.3% to ~23,307.6, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average increased ~0.4% to ~48,134.9, reflecting renewed optimism ahead of the holiday season and positive economic data.

2. Foreign Exchange (Forex):

  • EUR/USD: Primary trend is sideways. Daily Resistance: 1.17300; Daily Support: 1.17000. Consider long positions if the price breaks above the daily resistance.

  • AUD/USD: Primary trend is sideways. Daily Resistance: 0.66300; Daily Support: 0.66000. Consider long positions if the price breaks above the daily resistance.

3. Gold: Gold continues to demonstrate unstoppable strength, surging powerfully to $4,381. Structure: A long-bodied green candle confirms that Bulls are in full control, pushing the price well above the EMA support lines. Note: The Stochastic indicator is lingering in the overbought zone, warning of an overheated rally. However, absolutely do not "stand in front of a freight train" (Short) at this time, as FOMO momentum remains very strong.

4. Oil: XTI/USD: Primary trend is bullish. Daily Resistance: 57.20; Daily Support: 56.90. Consider long positions if the price breaks above the daily resistance.

5. Bitcoin (BTC): After a dip to the $84k zone, BTC saw an impressive V-shaped recovery, breaking the descending trendline (blue line) and is currently trading at $88,161. Signal: The price has crossed above the entire EMA cluster, confirming a short-term trend reversal from Bearish to Bullish. The $88,000 resistance is being challenged. If it holds above this level, the path toward $90k will be wide open.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

  • BTC: Buy 86,200 | Take Profit (TP): 92,400 | Stop Loss (SL): 86,700

  • AUD/USD: Buy Stop at 0.66300 | SL: 0.66000 | TP: 0.66800
