Charting the Trade: USDCAD and the Downtrend DynamicsGreetings Traders, As we anticipate the upcoming week, our attention is firmly on USDCAD, where we are actively assessing a potential selling opportunity around the 1.32600 zone. Engaged in a downtrend, USDCAD demonstrates a sustained downward trajectory. Concurrently, the currency pair is in a correction phase, steadily converging towards the trend at the pivotal 1.32600 resistance area. This numerical level bears significance as both a historical resistance point and a crucial juncture where the correction may intersect with substantial market forces. Taking a broader economic perspective, let's examine the progression of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data, providing insights into the potential market dynamics. The most recent data, dated January 25, 2023, indicates an actual inflation rate of 1.9%, surpassing the forecast of 1.6% and the previous 1.8%. This data points to a pattern of inflation fluctuation over recent quarters. Such variations can potentially influence the sentiment of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) in the forthcoming meeting, hinting at potential adjustments in their approach. Understanding these nuances is crucial for traders, as it suggests the possibility of a dovish USD outlook, impacting currency pairs like USDCAD. In navigating the opportunities within the USDCAD chart, traders should remain vigilant, aligning their decisions with the evolving economic landscape. The anticipation of a potential dovish sentiment from the FOMC meeting underscores the importance of a strategic approach to trading in the coming period. Trade safe, Joe.

XAUUSD new double bottom and potential price movementThis is the same double bottom from yesterdays rushed idea. Thursday 10th and 11th saw a rise from 1706 to 1764. Consequently, due to strong bullish pressure i have changed the neckline from 1706 to 1800. This will be determined in the coming days, if price challenges 1800, with XAUUSD needing to fill in from fib line 0.236 to 0 (This is nearly 4500 pips which seems like a lot however over the 10th and 11th of November price increased by a similar amount). If this occurs it can be considered a good indication for lasting bullish movement to come. If the arrow does get filled in and there are other strong indicators of bullish market pressure (such as candle types or chart patterns) i would look out for support and resistance and place buy signals for a semi long D1 entry and exit. NEWS: Friday 11th November: Prelim UoM Consumer Sentiment came out at 3:00PM in the afternoon uk time. FROM UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN This measures the level of a composite index based on surveyed consumers. The survey is of about 500 consumers which asks respondents to rate the relative level of current and future economic conditions. THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE FINANCIAL CONFIDENCE IS A LEADING INDICATOR OF CONSUMER SPENDING. CONSUMER SPENDING ACCOUNTS FOR A MAJORITY OF OVERALL ECONOMIC ACTIVITY. USUALLY: The 'Actual' is greater than 'Forecast' which is good for currency (GREATER CONSUMER SPENDING THEN FORECASTED = MORE MONEY IN CIRCULATION + HIGHER BUSINESS CONFIDENCE = STRONGER USD HOWEVER, ON THE 11th NOVEMBER: ACTUAL LEVEL=54.7 FORECASTED LEVEL=59.5 THIS IS BAD FOR THE USD AS IT MEANS THERES LESS CONSUMER SPENDING WHICH WOULD DECREASE FINANCIAL CONFIDENCE WHICH WOULD WEAKEN THE USD AND THEREFORE HELP DRIVE UP GOLD PRICES. THIS COULD BE THE CLUE BULLS ARE LOOKING FOR TO KEEP PRICES UP. IMPORTANT NOTE: THE LAST TIME ACTUAL WAS LOWER THEN FORECASTED WAS SEPTEMBER 16TH AND WHEN THE NEWS CAME OUT AT 3, THE DOWNTREND STOPPED AND PRICE STARTED CONSOLIDATING BEFORE HAVING A SMALL BEARISH EPISODE AND EVENTUALLY HAVING BULLISH MOVEMENT OUT OF THE PRICE ZONE. THIS SUGGESTS THAT ALTHOUGH THIS DATA HAS A SLIGHT EFFECT TO BOOST BEARISH PRESSURE, IT ISNT A STRONG EFFECT AND SO MAY NOT EFFECT PRICE AS MUCH.

RBA and May31 Rate DecisionFundamentals: The RBA in December's meeting was a hawkish stance. This suggests that going forward, their monetary policy will continue to be hawkish. Coupled with that, given the pandemic's effects on the Australian economy, the Australian government's fiscal policy will be at the forefront of their minds in stimulating their economy. This is a two for one punch and should have effects on the Australian currency. Conclusions: We have a country that is forced in a corner to take action by their own desire and resolve to prop up their economy. We have a situation where risk has the potential to prevail should the economy is able to recover from the lockdown measures that took place recently. We have a populace that is mobile, able and ready to work should the pandemic situation has improves. This is potentially, good news for the currency. Trades: AUDNZD and AUDUSD
