Gold plunges as investors await fresh cues about Fed rate cutsGold price has been hit hard amid uncertainty over US Retail Sales and Industrial Production data. A strong US Retail Sales data would provide more room for the Fed to maintain higher interest rates. •Further escalation in Middle East tensions could bring some revival in the gold price. Gold price (XAU/USD) witnesses a sell-off after failing to reclaim the weekly high above $2,060. The precious metal drops as investors reconsider the timeframe in which the Federal Reserve (Fed) may reduce interest rates. This comes after the release of the sticky Consumer Price Index (CPI) report for December, as well as hawkish comments from European Central Bank (ECB) officials recalibrating broader market expectations. While markets continue to lean towards a rate cut decision in March, policymakers are in no hurry to endorse a dovish stance on interest rates. The consumer price inflation in the United States economy is almost double the required rate of 2%, labor demand is steady and the chances of a recession are low despite interest rates remaining in the range of 5.25-5.50%. This would allow Fed policymakers to maintain a restrictive monetary policy stance for the time being. Going forward, monthly US Retail Sales, the Industrial Production data and the Fed's Beige Book are expected to provide fresh cues about the interest rate outlook. Daily Digest Market Movers: Gold price falls sharply as US Dollar, yields recover Gold price corrects to near the crucial support of $2,040 as the US Dollar Index (DXY) has recovered sharply ahead of crucial United States economic data for December. A strong run-up in the precious metal that was propelled by firm bets in favor of early rate cuts by the Federal Reserve and deepening Middle East tensions, has stalled for now. • As per the CME Fedwatch tool, chances in favor of an interest rate cut in March have eased nominally to 66% against 70% recorded earlier. A gradual decline has come as investors are reconsidering strong optimism for Fed starting the rate-cut cycle from March after getting mixed cues from stubbornly higher headline consumer price inflation and softer factory gate price data. Investors would get more cues about when the Fed could plan rate cuts after the release of the monthly US Retail Sales and Industrial Producer data, which are due to be released on Wednesday. • Retail Sales are expected to have grown at a higher pace of 0.4% against 0.3% increase in November. Consumer spending excluding automobiles is estimated to have grown at a steady pace of 0.2%. • The Industrial Production data is seen stagnant against 0.2% growth in November on a monthly basis. Upbeat economic data would comfort Fed policymakers for maintaining a restrictive monetary policy stance while a soft report will firm the case of rate cuts in March. • Before that, commentary from Fed Governor Christopher Waller will be keenly watched by market participants. Investors are eager to know how the Fed is considering the timeframe for the rate-cut cycle after the release of sticky consumer price inflation data. • The appeal for the gold price has not been impacted on a broader basis as crises in the Middle East region have deepened after the airstrikes from the US and the United Kingdom. Iran-backed Houthi rebels have threatened to retaliate for attacking groups in Yemen, which will keep risk sentiment on its toes. • The US Dollar Index has broken to a new high slightly above 103.00 as investors hope that other central banks will also start reducing interest rates earlier than previously projected. Meanwhile, the 10-year US Treasury yield has rebounded swiftly above 4.0%. Technical Analysis: Gold price corrects to near 20-day EMA Gold price has faced a sharp sell-off after failing to recapture the weekly high of $2,062. The precious metal has dropped to near $2,040 and is expected to remain on tenterhooks before getting fresh cues about the timing of rate cuts from the Fed. The yellow metal has surrendered entire gains generated on Monday and has corrected to near the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which trades around $2,039. More downside could appear in the gold price if it fails to defend the January 3 low of $2,030, which will expose it towards the psychological support of $2,000.

Heikin Ashi Trading SetupBYBIT:BTCUSDT Here I have shown a Heikin Ashi Trading Setup. I'm using forementioned candles, with smoothing, and a PMARP signal to confirm entry (Long or Short) positions. For the PMARP I give full credit to Eric Krown and is linked in this published idea. I've adjusted the settings to give a cleaner look and to use only the relevant information. Trading strategy is anchored to the chart, but here it is again: STRATEGY RULES - Heikin Ashi Candles LONG Wait for BUY signal, then wait for candle to close Next smoothing bar or 2nd should be BLUE PMARP must be on OR above 85% SL on bottom of bar before BUY candle TP on SELL candle or first YELLOW candle SHORT Wait for SELL signal, then wait for candle to close Next smoothing bar or 2nd should be YELLOW PMARP must be on OR below 15% SL on TOP of bar before SELL candle TP on BUY candle or first BLUE candle STRATEGY RULES - PMARP Once candle chart prints a BUY signal, wait for PMARP to be on OR above the 85% line Once candle chart prints a SELL signal, wait for PMARP to be on OR below the 15% line This seems to work well in backtesting on lower time frames such as 5M, 15M, and 30M. I'm using this for scalping/day trading so haven't tested on longer time frames. Good luck every *NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE*

Long Scalping a Bear MarketProbably one of the most difficult things you can do in a Bear Market is BUY. Especially when we are seeing aggressive selling like this. This is the type of market where every time you try and long, you lose money. There's little point buying a falling knife UNLESS you are really good at it, because this current market is breaking every single type of support because of sentiment. HOWEVER, using my strategy with the Price/Trend Indicator and Volume Indicator, you are able to see when momentum/ volume has shifted INSIDE of the Bear Flag . From this you can see that they are probably going to break out upwards to hit Stop Losses before continuing the fall. If you take a look at the Orange Boxes, you can see a BUY signal, but Volume hasn't upthrusted enough - it hasn't strongly gone above the Blue and Grey trendlines, so it is invalid. If you take a look at the White Boxes, you can see a BUY signal, with Volume upthrusting above the Blue and Grey trendlines. This is a valid LONG. (Ignore the purple line, I'm just testing something at the moment) There is an indicator called "Deviation Bands" - these are Standard Deviations from the baseline of current price. If you choose the option of "EMA", this will allow you to set Take Profit targets - like here, TP 1 and TP2. I will reupload it on my Scripts soon. Stop Loss is usually quite tight in these scenarios - sometimes actually not as tight as this (sometimes you can get wicks) but other times below the last low.
