Mixed Territory, 20 Mar 2023

🖼 Daily Technical Picture 📈

➤ Friday trade in Equities ended down. However, when viewed from the candlestick charts, you can see that the price action was fully "engulfed" by the Bullish candle/bar on Thursday. The interpretation of this action should therefore place more importance on the dominant Bullish candle.

➤ In early Monday Asian trade, things are positively biased. However, we should be aware of the current short and medium technical set-ups in and around the news flow.

➤ In the short-term (since Jan 2 high), we are still in a down-trend (lower lows, lower highs) but in the medium-term (since Oct '22 low), we remain in an up trend (higher highs, higher lows). This paints a mixed picture. When we are in this territory, prices tend to fluctuate more due to the conflicting positioning of market participants.

➤ First and foremost, I think VIX will settle down lower in the immediate term. It may then spike again. That may present a great short opportunity. Keep in mind that the Wednesday 22nd Fed rate decision will probably be the most watched market event ever.

➤ Conclusion: Stick closely to your trading/investment plan, don't get swayed by the news flow.

NOTES: BTC and Gold are well supported. I will provide an update on Gold price action later today.
