Dollar Index (DXY): Time to Fill the Gap?!
I guess you saw this gap down that was formed this night on Dollar Index.
Analysing a price action today, it looks like the market is preparing to fill it.
I see a nice bearish trap and inducement followed by a bullish imbalance
on an hourly.
I think that the index will go up to the gap opening level soon.
Goal - 106.11

GOLD → Interest in metal is growingFX:XAUUSD on the background of support from the dollar correction updates local maximums and aspires to the liquidity zone. Reduced liquidity due to the holiday weekend in the West also plays its role on the markets
Gold holds within the boundaries of the local ascending channel on the background of restrained dynamics of the US dollar, mainly due to the data on inflation... Dovish sentiment regarding further Fed policy actions continues to support the gold price, which is not a subject of interest.
There is growing interest in gold as a hedge asset on the back of the exalized conflict in Syria, as well as in Eastern Europe.
Technically, the emphasis is on the channel borders, as well as on the resistance of 2677 and 2690. A sharp approach of the price to these zones may provoke a pullback.
Resistance levels: 2667, 2677, 2690
Support levels: 2660, 2654
If the bears hold 2660, the gold may correct to the channel support. But at the moment the price is heading towards the resistance. Keep an eye on these levels!

XAGUSD - Silver will stabilize above $30?!Silver is located between EMA200 and EMA50 in the 4H timeframe and is moving in its medium-term ascending channel. If the decline continues, we can see the demand zones and buy within that zones with the appropriate risk reward.
The first range is suitable for short-term transactions and the second range is suitable for medium-term transactions.
Peter Krauth, author of The Great Silver Bull and publisher of SilverStockInvestor, has stated that silver could achieve substantial gains during a rate-cutting cycle, with advancements in artificial intelligence potentially emerging as a new driver of demand. Krauth examined the silver market and investment opportunities for 2025, highlighting the significant impact of Federal Reserve rate cuts on silver prices, a point supported by historical data.
He explained, “In the last three rate-cutting cycles, if you look at silver prices from trough to peak, silver has, on average, risen by 332%.” Krauth added, “This process might take about one to two years, but it still offers remarkable returns, doesn’t it? You can review the data—this is how silver has historically performed.”
He further noted that if the U.S. economy enters a recession—an outcome many analysts forecast for the first half of 2025—silver could deliver outstanding performance.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump, the U.S. President-elect, has outlined extensive plans to reshape the nation’s energy policies. According to news sources, Trump intends to request funding from Congress to replenish the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. His transition team is preparing a comprehensive energy policy agenda to be implemented shortly after he assumes office.
Trump also aims to repeal President Biden’s clean energy initiatives and prioritize natural gas. He may condition U.S. financial support for the International Energy Agency (IEA) on its refocusing towards oil and gas while countering its emphasis on green energy.
At the same time, analysts at Deutsche Bank have expressed concerns that the Federal Reserve might cancel its anticipated December rate cut. These concerns stem from stronger-than-expected economic resilience, a stable labor market, and persistent inflation above 2.5%.
Although the analysts still forecast a rate cut in December, the risk of a delay has increased. They predict that the federal funds rate will reach 4.375% by the end of 2025, exceeding the estimated neutral range. This suggests that the Fed may maintain higher rates for an extended period.
Furthermore, Deutsche Bank expects the Federal Reserve to lower rates to a neutral range of 3.75-4.00% in 2026 and 2027, as the impact of tariffs is likely to gradually reduce private domestic demand, creating room for more rate cuts in the long term.
eurusd h4 long/short +220/+300 pips swing trade plan🔸Hello traders, let's review the 4hour chart for EURUSD today.
All previous setups hit TP, +600 pips original short and recently
another short from resistance TP hit +240 pips.
feel free to recap via links below:
🔸Currently after hitting 0500 EURUSD remains weak / vulnerable
to further downside. I'm not expecting any bounce from current
levels and also can't recommend any new entries, right now this
is a no trade zone for me.
🔸Bears will target re-test of key s/r zone at 0380, this is also
the highest probability zone for a bounce in EURUSD.
Resistance overhead set at 0600, so this is a +220 pips trade setup
based on the bounce off the key s/r zone.
🔸Recommended strategy for EURUSD traders:no trade recommended
at current price, however bulls should enter BUY/HOLD at/near 0380
SL 40 pips TP1 +120 TP2 +220 final exit at 0600. Bears should wait
for the bounce to complete and short from overhead resistance at
0600 TP1 +150 pips TP2 +300 pips final exit at 0300. SL 40 pips.

EURJPY → Support breakdown. Attempt to change the trendFX:EURJPY seeks to renew lows. The dollar rally is negatively affecting both JPY and EUR. The Eurozone has yet to face Trump's policies, while Japan is already going through a rough patch....
The currency pair is exiting the ascending channel, hinting at a trend change. The price breaks support and consolidates in the selling zone. Ahead is the key support at 161.2, the breakdown of this zone may provoke the bears to more active actions.
Technically and fundamentally, the currency pair is entering the downward rally phase, so the trend change is just the beginning....
Resistance levels: 162.04, 162.5, 163.2
Support levels: 161.16, 158.4
The focus is on the channel boundaries, resistance at 162.04 and support at 161.16. From these zones an aggressive fall may be possible, as buyers do not believe in a positive outcome at the moment

Unmasking DXY's Bullish Potential with Volume ProfileH ello,
The unusually high market activity around the 100.5 level indicated strong bullish accumulation. The yellow ellipses highlight the volume and price levels. You can see that volume decreases both above and below this key level. This accumulation is evident because the price broke out of a bullish consolidation pattern, as shown in the left yellow circle, reaching a high of 103.9, indicated by the yellow line. This is the current level, where you may notice exceptionally high market activity. As the price remains above the green demand zone, the red supply zone may be tested, as suggested by the volume profile.
Regards,
Ely
Bitcoin's Current Market Dynamics and Strategic Outlook
Bitcoin is currently navigating a post-pattern movement—a phase often characterized by unique price behavior. In such movements, the price ascends in an Imbalance-Filled-Candle (IFC) manner, yet remarkably, these imbalances remain unfilled. Along the trajectory of this upward momentum, numerous Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) are formed, but intriguingly, none are addressed, showcasing a strong bullish bias and unrelenting momentum.
As Bitcoin approaches the psychological resistance level of $100,000, a critical juncture in its journey, traders and investors must prepare for potential volatility. The zone between $100K and $105K could serve as a battleground, where we might witness a corrective phase in the form of an X wave. Such a retracement would provide an opportunity for price consolidation, potentially resetting market dynamics and providing fresh entry points for those positioned strategically.
For those currently sidelined, staying out indefinitely may not be feasible. Market conditions demand action and strategy; this is the time to design and implement a setup that aligns with your risk tolerance and investment goals. Waiting too long might result in missed opportunities as Bitcoin continues its relentless march forward.
Should a correction occur, the green zone presents an ideal re-entry point for those looking to capitalize on temporary price dips. While the exact boundaries of this zone vary among strategies, this area often coincides with significant support levels or previously untested zones of demand.
If Bitcoin consolidates within this corrective range or experiences only a mild pullback, the spotlight could shift to altcoins, which might experience a surge during this interlude. Historically, periods of Bitcoin stabilization have fueled altcoin rallies, as traders and investors diversify their portfolios, seeking higher returns in alternative digital assets.
Looking beyond the current psychological levels, the next major milestone for Bitcoin lies in the range of $118,000 to $125,000. This target represents the subsequent logical step in Bitcoin's ongoing bullish trend, contingent upon the market maintaining its structural integrity and broader momentum.
Critical Risk Management Guidelines:
While optimism surrounds Bitcoin's trajectory, it's vital to maintain disciplined risk management practices:
Stop Loss Orders: Protect your capital by placing stop-loss orders below significant invalidation levels. If a daily candle closes below the invalidation threshold, this specific setup will no longer be valid. Be prepared to reassess your strategy in response to changing market conditions.
Capital Allocation: Never overextend your position. Allocate funds prudently, ensuring you have reserves for unforeseen market events.
Emotional Discipline: Resist impulsive decisions. A sound trading plan, combined with emotional control, can significantly enhance your outcomes.
This is a pivotal moment for Bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency market. Whether you’re a seasoned trader or a newcomer, opportunities abound for those who approach the market with foresight, preparation, and discipline.
If you have any questions or seek further clarification, feel free to share your thoughts. Let’s navigate this exciting phase together and make informed decisions that align with our financial goals.
Thank you, and may your trades be successful!
DXY Is Bearish! Sell!
Take a look at our analysis for DXY.
Time Frame: 1D
Current Trend: Bearish
Sentiment: Overbought (based on 7-period RSI)
Forecast: Bearish
The market is approaching a significant resistance area 106.269.
Due to the fact that we see a positive bearish reaction from the underlined area, I strongly believe that sellers will manage to push the price all the way down to 104.187 level.
P.S
The term oversold refers to a condition where an asset has traded lower in price and has the potential for a price bounce.
Overbought refers to market scenarios where the instrument is traded considerably higher than its fair value. Overvaluation is caused by market sentiments when there is positive news.

GOLD → Trading inside the channel from the range boundariesFX:XAUUSD declines to 2620 amid positive news from the Middle East, but the overall fundamental background is still difficult. Today is low liquidity due to the Thanksgiving holiday in the US.
The gold price is down amid a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah on Wednesday. But on Wednesday night there were reports of an escalation of conflict in Aleppo, Syria .... Also not to forget the escalated conflict in Eastern Europe.
The dollar is still in consolidation, given that today is a holiday in the U.S., there may be low liquidity and high volatility in the market. Accordingly, an exaggerated price movement in gold cannot be ruled out.
Technically, gold is flat, so we consider trading from the range boundaries. We focus on the local channel from H1 2660 - 2618 and the global channel from D1 - 2689 (2710) - 2605.
Resistance levels: 2660, 2604, 2678, 2689
Support levels: 2618, 2605
Accordingly, in the momen, gold is heading towards the liquidity above. False breakdown of the key resistance zone and price consolidation in the selling zone may form a price decline to the lower boundary of the flat.
Rate, share your opinion and questions, let's discuss what's going on with ★ FX:XAUUSD ;)

WTI - Stability in the Middle East!WTI oil is below the EMA200 and EMA50 in the 4H timeframe and is moving in its downward channel. If the downward correction continues towards the demand zone, the next opportunity to buy oil with a suitable risk reward will be provided for us.
Following the ceasefire in Lebanon, U.S. President Joe Biden announced that in the coming days, the United States will work with regional countries, including Turkey, Egypt, Qatar, and Israel, to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza that guarantees the release of hostages and the end of the war.However, he emphasized that such a ceasefire should not allow Hamas to remain in power.
U.S. President-elect Donald Trump plans to impose a 25% tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico on his first day in office. This tariff will also include crude oil, with no exceptions considered. Additionally, Trump is preparing another executive order to lift the suspension on liquefied natural gas (LNG) export permits that was implemented under Joe Biden’s presidency. This executive order might require the Department of Energy to approve pending permits or resume reviewing new applications. This move is seen as part of Trump’s early energy policy agenda.
Wall Street has expressed concerns about the potential impact of Trump’s second term on oil prices. Analysts suggest that oil producers may try to boost production before stricter regulations from the Biden era return. However, some experts believe that the nature of shale oil production in the U.S. makes long-term supply increases challenging. Unlike OPEC nations, where oil production is often controlled by national oil companies, oil production in the U.S. is divided among major corporations, independent producers, and private companies.
This analysis aligns with Goldman Sachs’ outlook. Goldman Sachs has forecasted that U.S. crude oil production will increase by just 500,000 barrels per day this year, down from the 1 million barrels per day increase seen last year. Nevertheless, the U.S. will still account for 60% of non-OPEC oil production growth, with the Permian Basin in North America expected to grow by 340,000 barrels per day—lower than Wall Street’s initial projection of 520,000 barrels.
According to Bloomberg, Russia’s seaborne crude oil exports have reached their lowest level in two months. The four-week average of these exports up to November 24 dropped to around 150,000 barrels per day, marking the fourth decrease in five weeks. This decline is largely attributed to a significant reduction in oil flows to India, Russia’s primary buyer, although weekly exports have seen a slight uptick.
Additionally, Saudi Arabia, Russia, and Kazakhstan have issued a joint statement emphasizing the importance of market stability and their commitment to voluntary production cuts under the OPEC+ agreement. In this context, Reuters analysts predict that OPEC+ will likely maintain its oil production cut policy for an extended period due to weak global demand. This group, which accounts for nearly half of the world’s oil production, faces challenges in deciding whether to increase or further reduce production. Increasing production is risky under current conditions, while further cuts may be difficult due to some members’ desire to boost output.
Meanwhile, rising gas prices have posed significant challenges for European policymakers this winter. Javier Blas, a Bloomberg analyst, believes that Europe has not yet fully faced the realities of the energy crisis caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. He warns that Europe has overly attributed last year’s successes to favorable weather conditions. However, these conditions have changed, and this winter is expected to bring higher gas and electricity prices. This situation places significant pressure on energy-intensive industries, with many large factories either reducing activity or shutting down. Households, too, will face greater inflation due to higher energy costs.
These challenges have also put central banks like the European Central Bank and the Bank of England under pressure. Wholesale gas prices in Europe have risen to €47 per megawatt-hour, which is double the February price and 130% higher than the 2010–2020 average.
GOLD → Controversial fundamental background. What's next?FX:XAUUSD is taking advantage of the dollar weakness and heading towards the zones of interest and liquidity 2665 - 2688. Overall, the fundamental backdrop is not stable, but at the same time weak for gold. PCE, GDP and resistance ahead....
The ceasefire agreement between Lebanon and Israel has entered into force. This has helped to reduce demand for the US dollar, which is generally reflected in the forex market. Gold is feeling support from sustained expectations for the Fed and uncertainty over the outlook for global trade during the Trump presidency, which intends to impose new tariffs on Canada, China and Mexico. Ahead of the upcoming macroeconomic news from the US are PCE and GDP.
Technically, gold is in a sideways range and is looking up towards zones of interest from which a correction could form. But this reaction is partly dependent on the news as well....
Resistance levels: 2660, 2664, 2680
Support levels: 2620, 2605
The focus is on the imbalance zone, 0.7 fibo and 2680 area. Due to the controversial technical and fundamental background, the gold price may close inside a wide channel, which allows us to use its boundaries for trading. We are watching the resistance with a sell target for further downside
Rate, share your opinion and questions, let's discuss what's going on with ★ FX:XAUUSD ;)

DXY: High-Probability Retracement SetupThe DXY has been forming higher highs, signaling bullish momentum. Currently, the market appears to be making a short-term retracement into a daily bullish order block (OB) at 105.174, which aligns with a high-probability setup, further supported by a fair value gap (FVG) just above it.
Confirmation of this retracement transitioning into expansion will occur if a daily candle taps into the OB and closes above the PD array. If this scenario unfolds, the next target is the buy-side liquidity (BSL) at 108.060, marking a significant level for potential upside momentum.
Keep an eye on the daily closures for validation, and always align entries with confluences for optimal risk management.
GOLD should continue bullish as the Dollar takes a breakcaught a nice move yesterday and looking for the move to continue today. We are sitting in a high volume level on the VP and bears are starting to fall back from being active. waiting for the next 2hours of the Asian kill zone to show me what price wants to do.
Xau/usd Massive sell as DXY continue to rise!!I believe the strength of the US dollar will continue to rise until next year, as it has been consolidating during the election period. We also discussed a similar market pattern that occurred over the last four years, which is happening again now. Therefore, there is a higher probability that we could see a significant selloff back to its monthly lows.

Holiday Markets and All Markets Spot CheckLimited trading for the remainder of the week in the US with Thanksgiving
We've notched a few all-time highs in the US markets but without any major surges. Low volume and light activity have been pretty apparent as the post election rips have settled down somewhat.
US data still in line before FOMC on Dec 18. Current FED Watch Tool showing a 64% probability of the FED still cutting 25 bps before end of year. This will be an important message from the FED to the markets on how the FED plans to adjust monetary policy in 2025 (pause, hold, cut, hike).
DXY and USD related crosses showing signs of nice movement (weaker dollar). Let's see if that is a stronger reversal pattern with follow through as many USD pairs are at strong support/resistance levels to show some reactions.
I'm not aggressively positioning on anything currently. If the melt-up continues, it's pretty easy and steady gains. If we have any flinch or pullback before end of year, I'll have my hedges in profit to help offset drawdowns. The best path for me is management both ways and inexpensive protection to the downside.
Thanks for watching!!!
DXY/USD to strong setupUS Dollar defends its ground as markets digest FOMC minutes
In Tuesday's session, the US Dollar Index (DXY) which measures the value of the Greenback against a basket of currencies, fluctuated near 107.00 following the release of key economic data. In the meantime, markets digest President-elect Donald Trump’s threat to impose tariffs on three of its largest trading partners and look for clues in the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) Meeting Minutes from the Novemeber meeting.In Tuesday's session, the US Dollar Index (DXY) which measures the value of the Greenback against a basket of currencies, fluctuated near 107.00 following the release of key economic data. In the meantime, markets digest President-elect Donald Trump’s threat to impose tariffs on three of its largest trading partners and look for clues in the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) Meeting Minutes from the Novemeber meeting.
The US Dollar Index has exhibited a bullish bias, driven by strong economic data and a less dovish Federal Reserve (Fed) stance. Despite recent pullbacks due to profit-taking and geopolitical uncertainty, the uptrend remains intact. Technical indicators suggest potential consolidation with overbought conditions easing.
