XAUUSD H4 - Short SignalXAUUSD H4 - May look a little bit messy on the face of things, but from swing low data 03/11 up towards swing high dated 16/11, we have started to correct, TP seen from recent analysis yesterday before then climbing higher, but this falls short of our 382, we have since seen a pullback to our H4 break and retest zone (that we have yet to have). From current price, if we see a bounce off DXY support (105 ish) we could see XAU fall further downside towards our 618 target price of $1680. Concerns over this on a fundamental front based on recent headline "The Fed concluded it will "soon be appropriate" to reduce the pace of rate increases, minutes of the November meeting showed. At the same time, some officials noted that the peak rate will be "somewhat higher" than previously expected.". But on a technical front it looks attractive, lets see how the dollar support holds, this may be an opportunity if resistance holds here and DXY D1 support holds.
Interestrates
Ok, here comes the Fed Pivot, what's next?With all the chatter on the Fed Pivot, we think it’s worth exploring, what happens after a Fed Pivot or Fed Pause. Let’s break down the discussion into two camps, a Fed Pause, defined as a pause in policy rate hikes, and a Fed Pivot, loosely defined as reversal of policy rates aka rate cuts.
To keep things in context, we will look at the effect of the Fed’s Pause/ Pivots on Major Indices, the Dollar and Inflation rates.
First let’s review where we are at now. The recent release of the October CPI numbers has spurred 3 notable things:
1) It knocked the dollars off its unprecedented rally since the start of the year.
2) It has given a little more credibility to the slight downward shift in inflation, with 2 consecutive lower readings.
3) It marked a local low in major equities indices
Naturally, the question is, have we bottomed? Or is this a slight breather on the elevator down…
To answer this question, we look at 2 similar periods in the past, where the fed pauses, then cut rates after. These past examples could be useful in providing some clues as to where markets might be headed next.
Dot Com Period in 2000
Between June 1999 and May 2000, rates were raised before taking a 7-month pause, following which rate cuts ensued in Jan 2001.
During this period, equities turned lower, with the DJI falling another 30% while the S&P & Nasdaq another 40% before finding the bottom.
The bottom was only in when the dollar clearly broke its uptrend, inflation peaked & turned lower and after rounds of rate cuts. In fact, and somewhat eerily, the dollar broke close to the 108 level, almost exactly where the dollar broke its current uptrend.
The Great Inflation of the 1970s
In the 1970s episode, rate hikes were paused from Aug 1973 to Feb 1974 before a cut in 1974. Untamed inflation forced the fed into another hiking cycle from March 1974 before the final onslaught of cuts from July 1974 onwards. This rate pause was then followed by another over 30% decline in equities.
Again, we find that the bottom was only in after Inflation peaked and the Dollar clearly broke its uptrend, while the Fed cut rates.
If this framework of using the Dollar, Peak Inflation & Rate levels holds, a keen observer might note the similarities with what we are looking at now. So, if the current dollar break holds and Inflation truly peaks, then the Fed Pivot will be the last piece of the puzzle to mark the bottom. So, when will the Fed Pivot you might ask?
Using the CME FedWatch Tool, we see the market implied probability of a fed pause starting in May 2023, followed by a pivot in September 2023.
In our view, this is still quite far away and if historical precedence holds, there are still ways to go before we are close to call the bottom. Additionally, market timing and expectation of a rate pause and cut have continually been re-priced higher and further over the past year. We will not be surprised if the timing and level of pause and cut get repriced unfavorably again after the FOMC minutes release this week.
From a price action perspective, the S&P seems to be near the upper band of the channel in which it has been trading since the downtrend started. This could once again prove to be an area of resistance, which could present an attractive short compared with the other 2 indices.
The average of the past 3 declines from the upper to lower band range, took roughly 54 days and 700 points. Taking that as a benchmark, we set our stops at 4150 index points, close to the previous levels of resistance, and a profit target at 3500 index points, close to the average of the past declines and lower band of the channel. Each Index point is 50$ on the CME E-Mini S&P500 Futures contract and $5 on the CME Micro E-Mini S&P500 Futures.
We will watch with keen eyes if the Dollar breakdown holds and listen for any change in the Fed’s timeline. If history is any guide, we remain bearish on equities, given the uncanny level of dollar index, inflation peak and Fed's policy path as we see now.

NZDUSD range bound, with RBNZ on the horizonOn Friday, the NZDUSD traded with significant volatility as the price surged strongly to the 0.62 resistance level but failed to break above, ending the trading week at the 0.6150 price level.
Early in the trading session today, the NZDUSD is trading lower with the potential to reach the 0.61 support level.
Look for the NZDUSD to break the 0.6120 interim price level to signal further downside potential toward the 0.6070 key support level.
Watch out for the RBNZ interest rate decision on the horizon, with a 75bps rate hike expected, this could bring significant volatility to the NZDUSD.
HAS THE DOLLAR REACHED ITS PEAK? AND WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?If you check correlation with other assets, be it Gold, stock indices, other currencies or commodities, you will see how they are massively correlated (from 60% to even 95%) with gold.
This, first of all, tells you that
1) basically all your investments depend on the answer to this question as the dollar is the king of the markets now and
2) trading XAUUSD Long and EURUSD Long means basically entering the same trade (with implications on risk management and diversification)
According to the info we have now, not only the reversal point from the FED is far (the point at which interest rates will be decreased), but we also not at the interest rate peak yet (which should be 5% in March 2023 according to the corresponding future price). It is true that markets are ahead, but in this case, it seems they are too ahead.
According to this. and as shown in the chart, I expect that, with the data we have so far, the DX could easily be in the retracement phase before reaching the ATH again or even beyond.
BTW, the dollar index DX can be traded directly in the platform as per my description or indirectly via any of the instruments highly correlated with it (basically all).
US Inflation Rate, YoY, Double Top? - Long-term ViewPresently, the inflation rate in the US has started falling, which increases expectations for a pivot - end of interest rate hikes. And factually, we can actually expect it. The supply of M2 Money Stock (M2SL) and its annual growth rate are decreasing. The global economy is shifting, as leading economic index (LEI) indicate. This will undoubtedly put pressure on the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates. However, after the current crisis, the economic recovery will cause a recurrence of inflation. So, if that is the case, the next decade will be marked by tight monetary policy and high inflation. This situation will let the central banks introduce a new monetary system based on CBDCs using incentives such as cheaper credit.

US interest rate, and exchange rate of Japan Yen and Korean WonThe trend of Japanese Yen and Korean Won within most of year 2022, as can be observed when reading together with the chart of USinterest rate, show how closely linked their relationship are.
Recently government of relevant countries have been attempting to change this situation by putting money into the foreign currency exchange market, but as long as interest rate of each of those countries aren't increasing accordingly, and US interest rate still keeping up, no change in this trend is expected.
GBP/USD analysis: BoE hikes needed to curb gilts' term premiumFinally unveiled, the UK government's Autumn Budget was conservative and cautious, in line with market expectations.
A fiscal consolidation of £55 billion has been announced, to be split evenly between more taxes and lower spending. From the next year until 2028, windfall taxes on oil and gas companies will increase from 25% to 35%, while the Energy Price Guarantee programme (EPS) has been revised to cut down on government spending. These two measures dominate the UK's fiscal adjustment.
But now that the threat of losing the anchor of fiscal credibility has ended, sterling investors are once again confronted with the reality of the UK economic outlook.
Inflation is expected to average 7.4% in 2023, but GDP will shrink 1.4% due to the recession. A higher and more persistent inflation rate requires the Bank of England to maintain its restrictive stance for a longer period of time. Furthermore, the longer inflation stays high, the more difficult it will be for gilts to lure buyers to these negative real yields, especially since the BoE will restart quantitative tightening in late November.
GBP/USD has risen from 1.036 to 1.203 following the reversal of September's mini-budget, primarily due to lower gilt yields, as recovered market confidence in fiscal policy has stimulated demand for UK sovereign bonds.
Gilt yields likely bottomed out before the UK Autumn Budget, as the market had largely anticipated the fiscal consolidation, and could now resume a natural upward repricing, not in a disorderly fashion, but adequately to reflect a high inflation/high interest rate environment.
The outlook for the pound is now dependent on the Bank of England's policies.
Hawkish BoE = Neutral/bullish scenario for the pound
If the BoE turns out to be more hawkish than expected – markets are currently pricing in 60bps in December and terminal rate of 4.5% next year – it can better control inflationary expectations and pressures. In this scenario, UK interest rates will increase quicker than UK 10-year gilt yields, limiting the term premium and enhancing policy credibility. This is a favourable scenario for the pound, as it can restrict the downside and discourage speculators from shorting a currency with a high yield.
Dovish BoE = Bearish scenario for the pound
In contrast, if the BoE delivers fewer rate hikes than the market currently predicts, inflation expectations will not be restrained and long-term gilt yields would rise faster than UK interest rates, effectively placing downside pressure on the pound.
Gold Testing Higher LevelsGold is edging higher. As predicted, we are running into resistance from a cluster of levels in the $1780's. This is confirmed by red triangles on the KRI at $1778 and $1784. We have one more level to go at $1789 before we are able to test a previous value area beginning at $1795. The Kovach OBV is still strong but appears to be wavering. If we retrace, we expect support at $1777 or $1770.
Euro Crash. ( Updated ) O.o
We update the analysis of the Euro that we have already done on other occasions. I think it's very easy to see what happens here.
- Bearish Channel, bouncing off institutional support or resistance zones, but with a dark future. Where the highest probability will be to see the Euro again at $0.85 very soon in 2023 (as we discussed in previous analyses) but also after a break of perhaps 1 and a half years of setback and relief. We will be able to live a new strong Fall until the year 2026 where we could see a Euro in values of $0.75 and finally for the year 2030 a fall of up to $0.64 to $0.56.
As we can see, it is NOT safe to maintain any currency other than the USD, since this is the dominant one, but the dollar does not protect us. The dollar is very damaged with a loss of more than 98% of the purchasing power of citizens over the years, but within all currencies it is the STRONGEST.
- On the other hand we will be able to see that the projections for the rest of the currencies are also horrendous, with which it will not be an isolated case only for the euro. We may see a Pound (GBP) at $0.85 by 2026 and up to $0.50 by 2030 if the trend DOES NOT CHANGE. And if he hasn't done it in all these years... why should he now?
- At the same time we can observe the currency of Japan (Japanese Yen) This currency seemed to be quite respected against the dollar, but that is over. We are facing a macro figure of change in trend. (A pattern known as the Inverted Headshoulder, + Bottom Round + Past Trend Break + Trend Reversal Confirmation by Breaking Previous Relative Highs)
It is time to worry and go. We are about to witness a loss of Value with respect to the dollar of at least 50%, 60%, 70% and the Japanese Yen up to values of 150% (in case of breaking the levels of 160) from June of the year 2021 until the year 2030
FTX is Just Another Market Correction: Liquidity and RegulationsI'm sure you've probably already heard the news about FTX so I won't cover everything - but there's a few things we might expect, longer-term, from the scandal this week.
- More Regulations: This incident embarrassed a lot of powerful people as well, so the likelihood of more substantial regulations coming down the pipe is now much higher.
- Increased Liquidity: Lots of people are pulling money outside of crypto right now, which explains why the prices have dropped so much this week, as a whole. (Especially Solana, which took an outsized hit compared to the rest.) But the money is still there - some will leave, but some will come back...hopefully with better research. It may present an opportunity for smaller alts to grow after the dust settles.
The crypto ecosystem has gone through a few exchange collapses already (ex. Mt. Gox) so crypto itself will still continue to press on. But I fully expect for more stories like these to unfold as we head further into the recession - the money printer has run out of ink, after all.

S&P 500 Testing 4000?Stocks have benefited immensely from the CPI print on Thursday which showed that inflation is cooling slightly and therefore may signal a dovish pivot soon in Fed rhetoric. Stock indexes have all rallied accordingly. The S&P 500 is currently at the door of the 4000's. We are testing one level below 4009 at 3978. A red triangle on the KRI does seem to suggest that we will be facing resistance here, but we have not seen a significant retracement. If we do, we should find support at 3937 with 3909 a likely floor. If momentum can continue, then 4009 is the next target.
Bond Market Rallies After Inflation DataBonds have soared after yields collapsed due to CPI coming in slightly better than expected. This follows months of consistently high readings fueling a hawkish Fed. With this reading, the markets will likely start to anticipate a pivot to a less hawkish stance. ZN broke through our target of 110'27, and moved a full handle above that to 111'26. It is currently meeting resistance at 111'29 or so, where a red triangle on the KRI is confirming resistance. Watch for ZN to equilibrate as the news gets priced in. If we can keep going then 113'12 is the next target, otherwise, 110'27 should give support.
S&P500 short analysis!!30 min time frame.
used Fibonacci to draw (ABC) correction waves.
this days, US markets are been a lot volatile.
LET ME KEEP MY OPINION OF WHY MARKETS ARE VOLATILE:
SINCE MANY OF THEM THINK THAT US INFLATION HAS REACHED ITS PEAK, AND ON THE FLIP SIDE MANY OTHERS THINK IT YET MORE NEEDS TO TRAVEL UP. this basically is causing a lot of volume in the markets. bulls and bears are acting to there strategy.
ONE TIP: during volatile markets, be on cash, or invest in low risk assets.
be careful, keep having an eye.
trade with your own risk.
Big Rally in Gold!Gold has rallied massively, breaking through to the $1700's. Yesterday, we tested our level at $1683. As predicted, it provided resistance. A pullback tested $1670, where we immediately saw a strong pivot. Then momentum continued through $1683, and several levels after that, solidifying the $1700's. We reached as high as $1720 before a red triangle on the KRI confirmed resistance. The Kovach OBV is very strong, but this is quite a move for gold and we expect some ranging or a pullback. Support is evident at $1705, but if that breaks then $1692 and $1683 should also provide support. If the rally continues, $1735 is the next target.
DXY consolidating, but watch out for the next move!!Anticipate higher volatility in the DXY today with the US Congressional Elections due. However, this news event is unlikely to cause a significant change in the longer-term trend.
As the DXY trades along the 110.35 price level, look for a possible rebound on the DXY. If the DXY trades above the 110.70 price level, the price could continue higher toward the next resistance level of 111.77.
Be prepared for the major news on the horizon, the US CPI y/y data release on Thursday at 9:30pm (GMT+8). It could very likely lead to a stronger USD regardless of the data...
Why?
Because if the CPI is released as expected at 7.9%, this would indicate that the interest rate increases from the Feds are taking effect, spurring confidence for more rate increases.
And if CPI is sticky and still showing above 8%, then the Feds would have to continue increasing rates to combat further inflation growth.
Interest rate - unemployment - SPXIf we take a look at the current interest rate, the unemployment rate and the price of the SPX and look through the historical data.
We see a common pattern -> Increase in interest rate, followed by a period of plateau and just at this point the unemployment rate increased steeply -> followed by lower lows for the SPX and the market overall.
If we consider this data for our current cycle, the downturn is still in front of us.
XAUUSD potential movement and entry1) NEWS TO NOTE:
THE FEDERAL RESERVE AND THE BANK OF ENGLAND INCREASED INTEREST RATES BY 0.75% EACH WHICH STRENGTHENED USD AND GBP WHICH IS BAD NEWS FOR GOLD.
JEROME POWELL (CHAIRMAN OF FEDERAL RESERVE GAVE A VERY HAWKISH SPEECH A COUPLE DAYS AGO IN WHICH HE AFFIRMED THAT INTEREST RATES WILL BE RISING WHICH ALSO STRENGTHENED USD)
TODAY (FRIDAY 4TH) US NONFARM PAYROLLS CAME OUT WITH BETTER THEN EXPECTED DATA ABOUT US EMPLOYMENT
MORE EMPLOYMENT →MORE PEOPLE IN ECONOMY →MORE MONEY IN CIRCULATION →MORE INFLATION → MORE REASON FOR FED TO INCREASE INTEREST RATES → STRONGER USD → WEAKER XAUUSD
2) UPCOMING NEWS TO NOTE:
THURSDAY 10TH NOVEMBER CPI (upcoming September US inflation report) →THIS WILL EFFECT GOLD BECAUSE IT EFFECTS USD
Stubborn readings could translate into sustained elevation in Feds rate hike odds (sustained higher interest rates). While this would be good news for the US Dollar, it will likely be bad news for US stocks and gold prices.
3) TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
I expect the price to have a short drawback towards the primary resistance line, however, the primary resistance line (top resistance line) is unlikely to be tested (touched by price) due to the bullish momentum of gold. Then I expect gold to continue on its uptrend. If the primary resistance line is tested, it would be an excellent entry with a risk to reward of 1:2. If it is not tested, i wouldn't advise a buy order, unless there is candle patterns and chart patterns which suggest a strong bullish momentum (for example a engulfing candle or a 3.82 candle or a close above candle. In the past couple of days there has been higher lows and higher highs however this is only intraday, and over a bigger time-frame gold is bearish.
Notes:
PlEASE GIVE ME FEEDBACK I WOULD APPRECIATE IT SO MUCH
TRADE WITH CAUTION
HAVE A GOOD DAY
THANKS

Gold to Test Higher Levels?Gold spiked higher with a weak rally testing and breaking $1640. The Kovach OBV has picked up slightly, but we have no indication of any serious momentum that can take us up to our target of $1683 just yet. We still must break through $1658 and $1670 first. A red triangle on the KRI is confirming resistance at current levels. We anticipate $1629 to hold as a floor for now.
BNP Paribas (BNP.pa) bullish scenario:The technical figure Triangle can be found in the daily chart in the French company BNP Paribas S.A. (BNP.pa). BNP Paribas is a French international banking group. With 190,000 employees as of February 2021, the bank is organized into three major business areas: Commercial, Personal Banking & Services (CPBS), Investment & Protection Services (IPS) and Corporate & Institutional Banking (CIB). BNP Paribas is the largest banking group in Europe, after HSBC, and ninth largest Banking group in the world. The Triangle broke through the resistance line on 04/11/2022. If the price holds above this level, you can have a possible bullish price movement with a forecast for the next 37 days towards 52.65 EUR. Your stop-loss order, according to experts, should be placed at 41.53 EUR if you decide to enter this position.
BNP Paribas SA joined European peers in getting a lift from rising interest rates, with higher income from lending and debt trading propelling earnings past analysts’ estimates.Net interest income at the Paris-based bank rose 9.6% from a year ago, and fixed-income trading jumped 25%, just ahead of the average for the biggest Wall Street firms.
