USDJPY And US Yeilds Driving The FXUSDJPY was the first one that turned up/ JPY down back in Dec 2020, others followed later. Now, we have USDJPY first pair with clear five down breaking the trendline support. This is also based on recent turn down on US yields. We will see what Powell will deliever today. They may want higher USD, to help bring down the inflation, but any recovery on USDJPY will be seen as temporary.

⚠️ The last TA of #Gold on November ⚠️Today, the market is not following a particular trend and is waiting for the announcement of the ADP Non-Farm Employment Change and JOLTS Job Openings statistics, and after that the speech of Mr. Powell (Federal Reserve Chairman)! Anyway, I have specified the important levels of supply and demand on the chart. Personally, I will wait for Point of Interest (POI) and then enter into a new position , and considering that it is the last day of the month, I will minimize my personal risk!

DXY DECEMBER OUTLOOK 2 scenarios that can play out this week, preparing for the month of December to end off the year.
Scenario 1 - Fed chair Jerome Powell gives a very hawkish stance during the FOMC meeting on Thursday 2am sgt. Continue rate hikes into early 2023, no slowing down of rate hike to lower inflation rates. I need to see strong economic data during NFP this Friday which will give strength to the dollar and weakness to gold.
Dollar to break up out of range heading towards at 110 possibly 111 regions
HRHR GOLD SELLS - 1753 region
MRMR GOLD SELLS - 1747 region
SAFE GOLD SELLS BELOW 1739 REGION
Scenario 2 - Fed chair Jerome Powell gives a dovish stance during FOMC meeting, giving hints of a slowdown in rate hikes, probably a 50 bps in the next rate hike or a 25 bps as we have seen improvement in inflation data in the last CPI. NFP data is bad this Friday as per forecasted till date.
Dollar to continue its bearish momentum heading towards 105 possibly 103 regions
HRHR GOLD BUYS - 1764
MRMR GOLD BUYS - 1785
SAFEST GOLD BUYS ABOVE 1800 REGION
USD Breakdown - With pairs to keep an eye onIn this video I break down the dollar chart. I quickly go through some fundamental data that's set to come out this week and at the end I give you some trade ideas I'm keeping an eye on.

Happy Thanksgiving (DXY)Overnight, the DXY broke below the 106.70 price level to trade significantly lower toward the key support area of 105.60.
This move lower followed the current downtrend but was intensified following the release of the FOMC meeting minutes.
The meeting minutes indicated that the current monetary policy is ‘approaching a sufficiently restrictive level”.
This signaled the possibility that the Federal Reserve could slow down on the scale of further rate increases.
However, uncertainty was also cast on the “ultimate level of Fed funds rate required to contain inflation”.
Therefore, look for the DXY to continue falling lower, toward the key support area of 104.65.
Watch out for choppy price action as the US market is closed for thanksgiving today.
NZDUSD belatedly breaks up after hawkish RBNZ, broad USD selloffNZDUSD looks to have taken out resistance capped just below 0.6230, which may set the stage for upward extension toward resistance in the 0.6352-0.6469 zone. Reclaiming a foothold below 0.6150 now seems necessary to neutralize near-term upward pressure.
Prices were relatively staid after November's RBNZ announcement registered on the hawkish end of expectations - seeing some gains at first but struggling to find momentum - but overall USD weakness offered fuel thereafter (with November FOMC meeting minutes at least somewhat helpful in pushing the Greenback lower, though its slide began before the news hit the wires).
This might changed everything for Bitcoin!I know it's a messy chart but lucky we have to focus on just a few things!
As we just got the message that most FED officials backed slowing the pace of rate hikes we did see a small pump for BTC and a dump for the DXY. For the DXY I would like us to stay under $110 ish.
For Bitcoin we have a few levels to watch closely.
First the key levels to watch if we want to see upwards momentum:
•16.8k
•17.5k
•18.6k
And some key levels for the downside:
•15.8k
•15.5k
•14.8k
The explanation was to hit approximately 14.8k after we did broke the triangle but after the news we have gotten today we can hopefully throw this out of the window.
Trade safe!
FOMC - Pausing rates in futureTodays FOMC minutes stated they will "support slowing of interest rate hikes soon to assess the lagged impact of monetary policy"
XHB - Homebuilders etf will benefit most from slowing or pausing of rates.
New home sales data today reported better than expected results too.
FOMC minutes, what to expect, USD & Gold - 50sThe PMI data today has given the US Dollar bears a head start before the FOMC minutes are released. Firstly, the recent cooler-than-expected US Consumer Price data has already created sentiment for a Fed pivot and investors' hopes that the central bank may be in a position to moderate its pace of hikes. In the prior statement, it read "In determining the pace of future increases in the target range, the Committee will take into account the cumulative tightening of monetary policy, the lags with which monetary policy affects economic activity and inflation, and economic and financial developments."
This statement gave rise to volatility in markets as investors positioned for a softer approach from the Fed which Chair Jerome Powell pushed back against in his presser by suggesting that there will likely be a higher terminal rate. Therefore, the minutes will be scrutinised for clarity in this regard. ''We expect the November FOMC meeting minutes to shed further light on the FOMC's deliberations regarding the expected downshift in the pace of rate increases in upcoming meetings,'' analysts at TD Securities said.
''But above all, we look for the minutes to place a lot of emphasis on the likelihood that the terminal rate will need to end up higher than anticipated initially. The Fed still needs to grind down the labour market to align wage and household spending growth with rates more consistent with the inflation target.''
In such a scenario, this could put a bid into the US Dollar that has been downtrodden ahead of the event. However, the upside is compelling in Gold as explained in the video.

Will Gold Spread Its Wings Post FOMC? 12 Hours until we find outWill Gold Spread Its Wings Post FOMC? 12 Hours until we find out.
Gold is now sitting just above a considerable pivot level. The question is: will it hold?
I'm not so sure that it will, but playing the long game never the less. I am long, waiting to see what happens leading up to FOMC & after.
Fingers crossed for me :)
Blackhole Cursor and FOMC Minutes Plots I asked about the Blackhole cursor and apparently it's an Easter Egg they added for a short time. It's kinda fun, so check if you have it.
I plotted FOMC minutes and it seems to be more of a pivot than I thought. I figured the speeches and rate decisions would've been cleaner, but these seem closer to the actual pivots. I guess we could break out of the bear trend once and for all, but I'll be skeptical until it does. Tomorrow's flood of econ data will set the mood.
Breakout potential on the DXYAlthough the DXY traded with choppy price action on Friday, fluctuating along the 106.50 price level, the DXY has climbed steadily to retest the round number resistance area of 107.
Look for the price to break above the 107.20 price level to signal further upside potential, with the next resistance at 108.30.
Further upside on the DXY could be driven by significant weakness in the EURUSD and possible comments to come from the Federal Reserve regarding future interest rate decisions.
USD Dollar bid!DXY D1 - Haven't really moved much since yesterdays, we are holding ground and slowing down, I just want to see a bit more from the dollar, a close around 106.500 this week could see us close bullish, which would be very attractive, a possible swing correction from 113 to 105 could be realised next week, we have pinned into a considerable zone, support and demand which sits on 105.500.
Can the US dollar index (DXY) pick itself back up?What a difference a week (or in this case, a single CPI report) can make.
Last week we were bullish on the dollar index due to the cluster of support levels nearby, and expectations for inflation to exceed estimates. Clearly, the fundamentals of a much softer CPI report made minced meat of the support zone and sent the dollar index lower, during its worst week since the pandemic. Yet there are signs that momentum is waning and DXY may be due a bounce.
It should also be remembered that the Fed are nowhere near this famous 'pivot', and that the Fed will continue to hike rates whilst the economy can withstand it. And retail sales suggest the consumers think they can withstand higher rates, at least for now.
DXY daily chart:
The US dollar may be approaching a swing low and ticks a few boxes for a potential inflection point. Downside momentum has slowed, a bullish hammer formed on Tuesday and a small inside bar occurred yesterday. Furthermore, it is holding comfortably above the August low and a bullish divergence has formed on the RSI (2). For now, it is a case of seeing whether it can hold above yesterday's low (105.32) and reverse higher, or whether it has one more attempt at testing the August low.
Given the magnitude of its losses, mean reversion (higher) seems more likely over the near-term, with potential targets including the weekly pivot point ~108, or the 109.50 area should US data remain firm and Fed members remain hawkish.
GBPUSD LongCable is pushing higher as the DXY continues to correct.
GBPAUD and EURUSD are also a buy, suggesting that the EUR and GBP are benefiting from a weaker dollar.
There is a slight gap left from the opening price compared to last weeks close, so we have the opportunity to fill that. Assuming the same thing happens as last week, we'll carry on higher. But that is the place on the chart to watch for a reversal.
The US CPI last week set the re-pricing of assets and there are still around 30 days before the FOMC decide on their next move.
Down first, then up?A classic bull flag had a false breakout overnight. Price has fallen back into it and retested the upper channel, failing there too.
The 50DMA is at $ES 3830-40, and it's entirely possible we revisit that level between now and the FOMC announcement tomorrow afternoon.
Following that, if the bull flag plays out completely, upside potential is all the way up at $ES 4000.
The downside is also likely as participants seek event protection and bid up volatility, after which vol is crushed following the event (regardless of the outcome).
GBPUSD D1 - Long Setup (following daily correction)GBPUSD D1 - Wouldn't like to attempt to swing short this pair, due to it's aggressiveness, or any USD related pair for that matter, however, I would still be happy to indicated preferred buy zones upon relative corrections, regardless of where we head, we can simply prepare ourselves for buy opportunities amongst ***USD pairs, whether we pullback and realise them is another thing, we can just keep adjusting our entries and zone plays until something unfolds. Based on Fridays moves, I feel a correction could be due early this week, gold sitting at a key price on D1 resistance 1765.
