Gold Bulls Await A Sustained Move Beyond $1288/1295 supply zone Fundamental View :
===================
1. The precious metal lacked any firm directional bias on Tuesday, albeit continued showing some resilience below 200-hour SMA amid the prevailing risk-off environment.
2. Oscillators on hourly charts have been gaining positive traction and also recovered from the negative territory on the daily chart, supporting prospects for additional gains.
3. However, traders are more likely to wait for a sustained move beyond the $1287-88 supply zone before positioning for a move towards the key $1300 psychological mark.
4. Meanwhile, a decisive break below the mentioned support, around the $1280 region, might negate the constructive set-up and trigger some aggressive technical selling.
China increased its gold holdings for the fifth consecutive month in April, the People's Bank of China said on Tuesday, according to Xinhua News Agency.
Gold reserves rose by 480,000 ounces month on month to 61.1 million ounces in April. Despite the uptick, gold reserves still make up a small percentage of China's massive reserves of more than three trillion US Dollars.
The yellow metal is currently trading at $1,287 per Oz, the highest level since May 1.
And other side May 9th USD Important news is PPI and Fed Chair Powell Speaks . So dollar can be a bit stronger. 1300 is strong resistance area in Gold So Gold can be dropped by this level test.
The bullion is yet to cross $1288/90 resistance area comprising 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of March – April drop and highs marked since mid-April.
Meanwhile, an upside clearance of $1290 can trigger the prices increase to $1300 with $1297 being an intermediate halt.
Also, 61.8% Fibonacci retracement near $1302 and April month top near $1311 could become buyers’ favorites beyond $1300.

NEWS:
=====
The Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s (RBNZ) survey concerning second quarter 2019 inflation expectations showed the price pressure to remain mostly unaffected at 2.01% versus the previous post of 2.02%.
A monetary policy meeting by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) could gain the immediate attention of the Kiwi traders as Australia is the largest customer of New Zealand. Also, it is expected that RBA’s rate-cut could be followed by the RBNZ’s rate change.
Kiwi gave little reaction to inflation expectations amid trade news.
RBNZ grabs the spotlight with GDT price index being an intermediate data to follow.
AUDJPY: Post-RBA Rate StatementAUDUSD didn't make it for proper completion of ABCD but AUDJPY did.
Selling the aussie against the yen instead of the dollar might be a better choice at this time as safe haven assets have started to gain in demand.
This is a near-perfect technical setup if we try not to complicate too many factors into a trade.
AUDUSD: ABCD Pattern, RBA RateThe RBA will release its rate statement in less than an hour.
The fresh new threat of the US-China trade war is very likely to be reflected in the statement which is most likely to be bad for its currency.
The aussie has plunged since the market opened this week.
While the price has retraced significantly, the gap has yet to be covered.
Therefore, if the price decides to cover the gap before the aussie continues to fall, an ABCD pattern will be completed at 0.7020 during/after the rate statement.
Should the gap be left opened, the price may attempt to break new low but unlikely to have a lasting effect.

USDCAD Weekly Technical Outlook Pullback #USDCAD pullback to 1.3370 as WTI breaks $65.00
Rally in Canada’s main export item triggered the pair’s pullback. Data from the US and oil market developments will entertain Loonie traders.
A 100-day simple moving average (SMA) at 1.3330 seems nearby important support ahead of dragging the quote 1.3300 and March 19 lows near 1.3250.
Alternatively, the successful break of 1.3400 can question the strength of a downward sloping trend-line stretched since early-March, at 1.3435 now, a break of which may push buyers to 1.3500.
Another way USDCAD Resistance is 1.3480 level and 1.3600 level USDCAD touch 1.3600 Area Sell position is best because Oil Price has been Up for a long time, so can OIL correction from 65$ Area. and short sell level 1.3480 level .
NEWS:
======

He urged political dialogue without the rogue general, WSJ reported. Trump spoke last week with Haftar, who launched an offensive earlier this month to seize the Libyan capital of Tripoli.
Big Week For The Loonie {FOREX Scenario}On Wednesday April 24 the Bank of Canada will be releasing their short term interest rates
I will be paying attention to price in the days prior to the news release.
Be patience and let the institutions give you clues as to their true intention!
Some nice pending setups on this pair and I will be trading it this week.
Stay safe with your stops ;)
USDCAD Technical and Breakout strategy USDCAD 1.3400 acts as nearby resistance, a descending trend-line from March-high, at 1.3440, could challenge buyers afterward. In a case prices rally beyond 1.3440, next target 1.3510 and 1.3600 .
Downside is 1.3315 and 1.3250 may entertain short-term sellers prior to challenging them with an upward sloping support-line at 1.3220 and 200-day SMA level of 1.3200 next targets.
Nokia potentially oversold on the alcatel lucent newsFundamentals:
Nokia took a big hit after stating that they are starting an internal investigation on alcatel lucent which they have bought. Investors reacted pretty hard to this and the stock was diving more that -8% during that day. It of course could be that there will be some negative facts to be found and in the worst case even some fines to be had. So there is of course a risk associated with longing the stock at this point.
However, let's consider this from a different perspective. The company decided willingly to start investigation and they contacted officials by themselves and they do not expect any concrete consequences on the company itself based on the investigation results. Of course this is their own statement and view on the matter and they would ideally always want to make it look like a minor thing even if it weren't. However, considering the other possibility that there won't be anything significant to be found on the investigations and there won't be any fines. The stock has dived more that -5% based on these news and the fear of the potential results. If nothing will be found this would suggest the stock was significantly oversold and should be looking to recover.
Techical side:
The technical side is quite simplistic. RSI9 shows that the stock is on the edge of being oversold and looking at the previous behavior the level 30 has often provided support and the price has bounced up. Sometimes of course this has been violated and can be the case here as well. However just considering the option that after the stock has been up and being valuated at the previous levels 5.25 - 5.6 after Q4 report it would be quite hard to believe the proper value would be below 5€ which is of course a very important support level.
Considering the both sides on this price crash I would suggest that Nokia is currently oversold and will be recovering when the investigations continue and if they show no concrete results suggesting significant fines to be had. I'd be looking to long Nokia now or at the fibonacci support at 5.065 which has been already tested briefly once. Stop loss should be placed below 5.065 support or 5.00 depending on your risk tolerance and personal view on how confident you are on these news.
Lastly considering the option that the investigations bring up skeletons in the closet and significant fines are had then the stop loss is still quite small and the potential reward in my opinion clearly out weights the risk.

News background & trading ideas for 14/03/2019The international currency market` attention has been captured by Brexit and the pound, again. British lawmakers rejected a no-deal Brexit (voted by 312 to 308 to reject leaving the EU without a withdrawal agreement). Consequently, there will be a vote on delaying Brexit.
It is about lack of time for completing new agreement and holding another Brexit vote ( the UK is due to leave on March 29). So, it has to be delayed. They are likely to vote "for" it (it`s the only move they have.), although that should be agreed by the EU. So, the risk factor for the pound is present.
Nevertheless, the most likely scenario for the development of Brexit that it will be transferred and start the entire process all over again. Although the topic of Brexit is already pretty fed up nevertheless, this is an opportunity for further trading on the pound spikes. Recall, our position since September is to buy pounds on declines.
Another our long-time position is selling the Russian ruble. Therefore, we follow the news background and share the most interesting and significant news related to it. The other day, Bloomberg published an interesting study. According to Bloomberg Economics` Russian assets ($750 billion) moved abroad over the past 25 years. This is half the annual RFR budget of the Russian Federation or 3 (three) annual (!) Russian budgets. This fact is the best way to explain why we so persistently recommend selling the Russian ruble on the foreign exchange market.
Yesterday`s events. The US Economic data came out pretty mixed. Demand for durable goods have increased. Industrial inflation was slightly worse than expected. In general, we treat yesterday`s data as rather weak and continue to adhere to the idea of selling the dollar in the foreign exchange market.
The data on industrial production in the Eurozone pleasantly surprised (+ 1.4% m / m -1.1% y / y, when forecast was + 1.0% m / m -2.1% y / y). Taking into account the fact that the EURUSD pair has surely fixed above the 1.1300, today we recommend its selling.
Lastly, with regard to macroeconomic statistics, Thursday promises to be a relatively calm day, so our other positions have not changed: We buy oil and gold on the intraday basis. We sell USDCAD, but we buy USDJPY.
