The post above and this one: I don't trade these markets, but I keep on my eyes on these charts and keep my analysis updated.

 

Gold-Euro -at very good point to go short providing the bar closes nicely.

 

Silver - at res. made of PPZ and MQ

 

Nasdaq - still space to go up, but...

Dow Jones - at important turning point.

Both charts use Fib.Channels

 

Nikkei - is nowhere. Just sitting on support made of PPZ (green area)

Just analysis, I don't trade these markets:

 

 

JPM - space to go

 

WMT - long actually

 

JNJ - what an ugly chart, if I must I would have to choose long

 

CAT - almost there to look for shorts at top of the channel

Gold stop and reverse @1,632.00 SL1,663.60.

50% retr, DGL R3, PPZ and lower channel retest, Bands res. Pin Bar entry.

Another chart shows reaction from long awaited area, 150ema, 200sma is very close, and again Pin Bar. Too good to be true?

If the market does what I hope for, I would have to assume Gold could be confirming it's downtrend.

 

AUDUSD change short order @1.2950 SL:1.3083.

Another great Pin Bar off 200sma and 62% retrace.

Gold short @1,647 SL@1,679. Bearish sign at 200sma

 

 

USDCAD long @1.0090 SL@1.0025, bounce trade 365ema, on chart also nice bullish signs @ 365ema, but I will not add, since recently Cad has been very undecided. If it breaks up, I will look of INR4 (inside narrowest range in 4 days) to add. So far, just waiting if I can move SL=BE

 

 

EUR short@1.2950 SL:1.3083 order from jan13th, bounce off yearly mean reversion support.

gold has some more space to go imvho...will 1678-1685 resistance work?

 

Thank you. Yes, I agree. If 1,6800 -1,7000 breaks through it may go even to 1,8000. If so, I hope it will give me retrace setup and signal around 1,6800.

 

Short signal was bad, but I had to take it since before just too many times I didn't stick to my plan. Half closed @ 1,6690.

Gold half closed @1,6690 (-220pips). short signal seems to fail.

CAD SL moved @1.0100/0095. reversed pin - i have a short order.

EUR SL half moved @1,3010. initially rejected zone and moved down, but now it seems to be rejecting shorts, hence my SL moved closer on half.

USDCAD short order @1.0100 SL:1.0175. After bullish signal it gave immediately bearish signal out of Pitchfork. Looks like it wants to leave upper pitchfork.

I used Shiff Median here.

 

-45pips loss. original SL was 75pips

EUR long half closed @1.3091 - bearish reaction in the PPZ. Half @ BE.

 

GBP half SL moved to 1.5745 - above Pin Bar which penetrated the sell zone (quarterly mean).

 

USDCAD long@1.0046 if filled, SL 9972. Pin Bar off 200sma.

 

AUDJPY short@81.55 if filled, SL:82.95. Yearly Mean level - Pin on Alpari charts but Outside Bar on Oanda charts, I place entry below OB, because I was too late for Pin Bar.

    • Date: 22nd November 2024.   BTC flirts with $100K, Stocks higher, Eurozone PMI signals recession risk.   Asia & European Sessions:   Geopolitical risks are back in the spotlight on fears of escalation in the Ukraine-Russia after Russia reportedly used a new ICBM to retaliate against Ukraine’s use of US and UK made missiles to attack inside Russia. The markets continue to assess the election results as President-elect Trump fills in his cabinet choices, with the key Treasury Secretary spot still open. The Fed’s rate path continues to be debated with a -25 bp December cut seen as 50-50. Earnings season is coming to an end after mixed reports, though AI remains a major driver. Profit taking and rebalancing into year-end are adding to gyrations too. Wall Street rallied, led by the Dow’s 1.06% broadbased pop. The S&P500 advanced 0.53% and the NASDAQ inched up 0.03%. Asian stocks rose after  Nvidia’s rally. Nikkei added 1% to 38,415.32 after the Tokyo inflation data slowed to 2.3% in October from 2.5% in the prior month, reaching its lowest level since January. The rally was also supported by chip-related stocks tracked Nvidia. Overnight-indexed swaps indicate that it’s certain the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will cut its policy rate by 50 basis points on Nov. 27, with a 22% chance of a 75 basis points reduction. European stocks futures climbed even though German Q3 GDP growth revised down to 0.1% q/q from the 0.2% q/q reported initially. Cryptocurrency market has gained approximately $1 trillion since Trump’s victory in the Nov. 5 election. Recent announcement for the SEC boosted cryptos. Chair Gary Gensler will step down on January 20, the day Trump is set to be inaugurated. Gensler has pushed for more protections for crypto investors. MicroStrategy Inc.’s plans to accelerate purchases of the token, and the debut of options on US Bitcoin ETFs also support this rally. Trump’s transition team has begun discussions on the possibility of creating a new White House position focused on digital asset policy.     Financial Markets Performance: The US Dollar recovered overnight and closed at 107.00. Bitcoin currently at 99,300,  flirting with a run toward the 100,000 level. The EURUSD drifts below 1.05, the GBPUSD dips to June’s bottom at 1.2570, while USDJPY rebounded to 154.94. The AUDNZD spiked to 2-year highs amid speculation the RBNZ will cut the official cash rate by more than 50 bps next week. Oil surged 2.12% to $70.46. Gold spiked to 2,697 after escalation alerts between Russia and Ukraine. Heightened geopolitical tensions drove investors toward safe-haven assets. Gold has surged by 30% this year. Haven demand balanced out the pressure from a strong USD following mixed US labor data. Silver rose 0.9% to 31.38, while palladium increased by 0.9% to 1,040.85 per ounce. Platinum remained unchanged. Always trade with strict risk management.
