XAU/USD 18-22 November 2024 Weekly AnalysisWeekly Analysis:
Swing Structure -> Bullish.
Internal Structure -> Bullish.
Price Action Analysis:
In my analysis dated 27 October 2024, it was noted that the first sign of a pullback would be a bearish Change of Character (CHoCH), indicated by a blue dotted line. Price's consistent upward momentum had positioned this CHoCH much closer to recent price levels as expected for weeks.
Now, for the first time since 23 November 2020, price has printed a bearish CHoCH. We are currently trading within a defined internal range.
Price is projected to move downward toward either the discount of the internal 50% Equilibrium (EQ), highlighted in blue, or the Weekly demand zone before targeting the weak internal high.
Note:
Given the Federal Reserve's dovish policy stance alongside heightened geopolitical risks, market volatility is likely to remain elevated, influencing intraday price swings.
Weekly Chart:
Daily Analysis:
-> Swing -> Bullish.
-> Internal -> Bullish.
Price Action Analysis:
In my weekly analysis dated 27 October 2024, I forecasted that price could potentially make new highs, thereby shifting the bearish Change of Character (CHoCH) closer to recent price action. This repositioning would serve as a trigger for a bearish pullback phase initiation.
As anticipated, this scenario unfolded with CHoCH shifting nearer to the current price and ultimately printing a bearish CHoCH. Currently, price is trading within an established internal range (highlighted in blue), trading in the discount zone of the internal 50% Equilibrium (EQ) and approaching a Daily demand zone, where a reaction is likely.
Given the current internal range dynamics, price is expected to react upon reaching the Daily demand zone and could trade upward to target the daily internal high. However, considering the signs of a pullback phase on the Weekly timeframe, there remains a possibility of price printing a bearish Internal Break of Structure (iBOS).
Note:
With the Fed maintaining a dovish policy stance and the continued rise in geopolitical tensions, we should anticipate elevated market volatility, which may impact both intraday and longer-term price action.
Daily Chart:
H4 Analysis:
-> Swing -> Bearish.
-> Internal -> Bearish.
Price Action Analysis:
Analysis remains the same as previous bias from my analysis dated 12 November 2024.
Price has printed both a bearish Internal Break of Structure (iBOS) and a subsequent bearish Break of Structure (BOS), confirming the need for a pullback across all higher timeframes (HTFs).
Currently, price action remains in alignment with the broader HTF pullback requirements.
Intraday Expectation:
The expectation for the intraday session is that price will print a bullish Change of Character (CHoCH) to indicate the initiation of a bullish pullback phase. The positioning of this bullish CHoCH is indicated by the blue dotted line on the chart.
However, it is also possible that price could extend to a new low, bringing the CHoCH positioning much closer to the current price action.
Note:
Given the Federal Reserve’s dovish stance and ongoing geopolitical uncertainties, heightened volatility in Gold prices is anticipated to persist. We should exercise caution and remain vigilant in this high-volatility environment.

Multiple Time Frame Analysis
DXY. When to Expect a Weak Dollar?Hello traders and investors!
At the end of September and the beginning of October, I analyzed AUDUSD and EURUSD, where the technical picture predicted a decline in these currencies against the dollar. You can find these posts in related ideas. There were discussions with colleagues about how many countries' economies need a weaker dollar. I wouldn’t mind profiting from a dollar decline either, but a month and a half ago, there were no signs of a DXY drop. Let's take a look at what the chart suggests and when this might happen.
Weekly Timeframe
A sideways range formed on the weekly chart in March 2023 (point 4 was established). The lower boundary is 99.099, and the upper boundary is 106.952. The buyer's vector 11-12 has reached its obligatory target — the price level of point 10 within the range (106.169). This means we can start watching for seller activity on the weekly timeframe. If the sellers show up, the seller's vector 12-13 becomes relevant, with potential targets of 99.807 and 99.099.
Note that the key bar (with the highest volume) of the buyer’s vector 11-12 is the bar from November 4.
Daily Timeframe
There’s a long trend on the daily chart. The last buyer's impulse ranges from 103.86 to 106.734. The key bar of the impulse (highest volume) is the bar from November 14.
Hourly Timeframe
On the hourly chart, a sideways range has formed. The lower boundary is 106.037, and the upper boundary is 106.734. The current buyer's vector 8-9 has potential targets of 106.681 and 106.734. From there, it's not far to 106.952 (the upper boundary of the weekly range).
Summary
The price has approached levels on the weekly TF where a reversal may begin. For now, there are no signs of a reversal on the weekly and daily TF. We need to see signs of seller activity on the weekly chart to look for short positions with the goal of realizing the seller's vector 12-13 in the weekly range.
You can look for long or short positions on the hourly chart by trading within the range from boundary to boundary (if the boundary holds).
Until the DXY reverses, looking for long positions in other currencies against the dollar is risky.
Good luck with your trading and investments!
Palantir to plunge 40% ??In seven days from now Palantir will publish their not so hot earnings report.
How can I know this?
The chart.
On the above 6 day chart price action has rallied a massive 600% in 24 months. A number of reasons now exist to be short. They include:
1) Support and resistance. Both price action and RSI are at resistance.
2) Price action support has failed. See daily chart below.
3) The Bollinger Band (red arrows). Explosive moves in price action eventually reach exhaustion. This is first indicated by the Bollinger band as the mouth curls inwards. This is a strong indication of a trend reversal.
4) The 40% correction is derived from past resistance, which has never confirmed as support. It is also a significant Fibonacci level.
Is it possible price action breaks resistance and continues to climb? Sure.
Is it probable? No

Trend breakout on daily
XAUUSD to 2455 before December Likely to see 2455 hit in the next two weeks, with potential resistance levels of 2580 & 2600 should it test these before dropping. Neither of which may get tested. The old stall and fall is more likely to play out.
From 2455, we should see Gold come back up towards 2600, maybe even 2670 before continuing its descent. But first things first, short now and a buy at 2455/65
USDMXN POSSIBLE SHORT TRADE IDEAOn the monthly charts, we have a bullish trend that has been flipped. A change of character on the monthly chart indicates bearish orderflow setting. Currently, the dollar is gaining strength against major pairs, the Peso is no exception. The bullish resurgence of the dollar against the Peso seems to target price imbalance ranging between 21 to 24. Once these price imbalance has been removed, we are likely to see bearish sentiment setting in, possibly early 2025, targeting new lows.
POPCATUSDT.P / M15 / SHORTPOPCATUSDT may fall from the bearish order Blocl
Bearish order Block :- 1.7253 and 1.6940
POPCATUSDT is approaching a bearish order block between 1.7253 and 1.6940, where we may see a potential reversal and downward momentum. Using Smart Money Concepts (SMC), a valid bearish order block has been identified, indicating that this zone could act as strong resistance.
Additional Analysis: If price touches the order block, we can expect a likely decline, as institutional supply tends to push price lower. Based on the analysis, there is a high probability this trade could end in profit, but we'll have to watch for confirmation once the price reaches the key levels.

MCL Short 11/14/2024- Already in the tradeMCL is in a downtrend in 4hr chart. It is deeply inside daily DZ (blue box). Took a short position is confluence SZ (zone that coincides with 4hr 21 EMA- purple line). Took half risk because zone was already tested. Risk= $120. Target= 1:1 (Already got) and 3:1. Also, I'm trailing my stop aggressively because chances of trend reversal in HTF demand zone.
AUDUSD "LONG" IDEA (SMC - ICT)On the following chart we have a possible movement of the price upwards.
- We swept internal liquidity (IRL) on HTF
- We made a Market Structure Shift (MSS) on 1H
- However we left some Imbalanced (IMB) area below which can possible mean we made an Inducement (IDM).
I might get into buy's right on Fibonacci Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) level with 1% of my balance.
If we go lower. Will wait for another Confirmation Entry (CE)
XAUUSD - Gold waiting for the Hawkish Federal Reserve!Gold is below the EMA200 and EMA50 in the 30-minute timeframe. In case of breaking the resistance range or correction with low momentum, we can witness the continuation of the rise and see the limited supply and sell in that range with the appropriate risk reward.
Inflation Outlook and Economic Policies in the US and Their Impact on Markets
Consumer Price Increase in the US and Gradual Decline in Inflationary Pressures
• October Data:
In October, the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose by 0.2% compared to September. Core inflation (excluding energy and food) also increased by 0.3%, aligning with market expectations.
• Expert Analysis:
Dr. Christoph Balz and Bernd Weidensteiner from Commerzbank emphasized that while the data shows no significant progress, it indicates a gradual reduction in inflationary pressures.
• Core inflation remains far from the Federal Reserve’s 2% target, holding steady at 0.3%, similar to August and September.
• This suggests that inflation is likely to stay above the central bank’s target in the long term.
• Trump’s Policies and Inflation:
Economists predict that emerging economic policies under Trump, including higher tariffs and reduced immigration, may further strain the labor market and contribute to higher inflation in the long run.
Jerome Powell’s Remarks and Market Reactions
• No Need for Financial Policy Easing:
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell stated that given strong economic growth, a robust labor market, and inflation still above the 2% target, there is no immediate need for monetary policy easing.
• Market Reaction:
These comments raised concerns among investors, signaling a potential slowdown in the pace of interest rate cuts.
US Dollar Outlook
• Stability and Growth of the Dollar:
According to Barclays Investment Bank, the US dollar will maintain its upward trajectory due to economic resilience and shifting market expectations regarding Federal Reserve interest rate policies.
• Factors Supporting Dollar Strength:
• Trump’s trade and fiscal policies, including higher tariffs and domestic initiatives, are key drivers of dollar strength.
• Barclays projects the dollar will remain strong and continue its upward trend through 2025.
• China’s efforts to boost its economy may have a limited impact on weakening the dollar but are unlikely to significantly disrupt its rising trajectory.

GBPJPY - Will the pound continue to weaken?The GBPJPY currency pair is above the EMA200 and EMA50 in the 4H timeframe and is moving in its medium-term bullish channel. If the correction continues to the support range, we can buy with a suitable risk reward. Breaking the resistance range will pave the way for this currency pair to continue its rise.
Pension Reforms in the UK
• Consolidation of Local Government Pension Schemes:
Rachel Reeves, the UK Treasury Secretary, aims to merge local government pension schemes into larger funds (megafunds). This initiative involves pooling the assets of 86 local government pension schemes into a large fund managed by professional investment managers.
• Objective: To increase investment in long-term, high-risk assets, reduce management costs, and strengthen investment in infrastructure and local areas.
• Further Reforms: In addition, Reeves plans to make changes to financial arbitration services and the combined stock market, marking “the most significant pension reforms in decades.”
Inflation Outlook and Interest Rates in the UK
• Comments from Bank of England Member, Mann:
Bank of England member, Mann, warned that substantial volatility in macroeconomic indicators will be seen in the coming years. He suggests that inflation may remain high for an extended period, necessitating a higher neutral rate. Additionally, he noted that lower interest rates compared to high inflation would put more pressure on investments.
Japan’s Support Package and Economic Stimulus
• Budget and Household Support:
The Japanese government has planned a supplementary budget of 13.5 trillion yen (87 billion USD) to fund an economic stimulus package. This budget includes a payment of 30,000 yen to low-income households and 20,000 yen per child in households with children.
• Energy Subsidies: The government will also reintroduce electricity and gas subsidies from January for three months to help households cope with rising fuel and service costs.
Financial Risks and Supervision by the Bank of Japan
• Concerns About Non-Bank Financial Institutions:
The Bank of Japan’s Deputy Governor, Uchida, warned that increased connections between non-bank financial institutions and banks could pose risks to the entire financial system. He emphasized that non-bank institutions handle almost half of global financial intermediation, which requires close attention.

Japan’s Finance Minister, Katsunobu Kato, stated that appropriate measures will be taken to control severe and one-sided fluctuations in the currency market if necessary. He stressed the importance of sustainable exchange rate movements in line with fundamental principles.
