AUDUSD is trending downThe Australian dollar reaction to this mornings retail sales report was interesting as the move back into negative territory (see economic calendar below) may suggest the Australian economy (households) are feeling the impact of the current restrictive monetary policy. Although one data point does not make a trend, if these spending habits continue to decline, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) fight against lower inflation may follow. The RBA’s Governor Bullock portrayed or more uncertain and cautious message in her statements shown below: “We're in a period where we have to be a bit careful.” “I want to avoid imposing too much and pushing up the jobless.” “We need to ensure that inflation expectations stay anchored.” “Monetary policy is restrictive and is dampening demand.” The PBoC’s Governor Pan on the other may have aided the pro-growth AUD by stating that monetary policy will remain accommodative.

GBPUSD is trending down but still in the bullish channelThe GBP and Cable in particular has had a mixed start to the week, fluctuating between gains and losses. Markets in general were a bit slow today ahead of what is a relatively busy week on the data front. The UK, however, does not have any high impact data releases with GBP pairs likely to face external threats. The UK faces a quiet week on the data front following the UK Autumn Statement by Chancellor Hunt last week. The GBP enjoyed a decent week particularly against the Greenback. The rest of this week only has medium impact data from the UK. Last week brought PMI data which helped keep the GBP supported with a pledge by Chancellor Hunt during the Autumn statement. The Chancellor confirmed the UK Government plans to put GBP20 billion to work in the economy at a time when other countries in the Euro Area face a difficult task. These developments have left market participants a lot more cautious around rate cuts for 2024. The biggest risk facing the GBP this week will come from a host of BoE policymakers scheduled to speak.

EURUSD is trending downThe dollar index DXY, a measure of the greenback against a basket of currencies, was last at 103.11, its lowest since Aug. 31. The dollar was track for a loss of more than 3% in November, its worst performance in a year. Market expectation that the Fed's rate increase cycle has finally come to an end has also put downward pressure on the greenback. U.S. rate futures showed about a 25% chance that the Fed could begin cutting rates as early as March and increasing to nearly 45% by May, according to the CME FedWatch tool. "Slowing growth momentum, peak rates, rate cuts next year, and unwinding of long positioning: it's the dynamic feeding a weaker U.S. dollar and driving the entire currency complex," said Kyle Rodda, senior financial market analyst at Capital.com. "Anything that brings that trend into question will change the outlook; however, the bar for that to happen is high," he added, saying the dollar likely has more room to fall. Traders are now eyeing U.S. core personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index - the Fed's preferred measure of inflation - this week for more confirmation that inflation in the world's largest economy is slowing. PCE tops off a slew of other key economic events this week, including Chinese purchasing managers' index (PMI) data and OPEC+ decision. After delaying its policy meeting to this Thursday, OPEC+ is looking at deepening oil production cuts, according to an OPEC+ source.

It is likely that gold will fall again after encountering resistGold prices climbed on Monday, buoyed by the drop in U.S. yields and the U.S. dollar’s softness. With recent performance in mind, XAU/USD has risen more than 8% since October, firmly eclipsing its 200-day simple moving average and ascending beyond the psychological $2,000 level – two technical signals that have strengthened the metal’s constructive bias. For stronger conviction in the bullish thesis and to validate the potential for further upward momentum, a clear and decisive move above $2,010/$2,015 is required – a major resistance zone that has consistently thwarted advances since the beginning of the year. While clearing this hurdle might pose a challenge for bulls, a breakout could catalyze a rally towards $2,060, followed by $2,085, May’s high. In the event that gold gets rejected to the downside from its current position, the asset might trend towards support spanning from $1,980 to $1,975. Prices could potentially stabilize in this area on a bearish reversal, but a push below this floor could lead to a retreat towards the 200-day simple moving average situated around the $1,950 mark. Beneath this threshold, attention might refocus on $1,937. XAUUSD XAUUSD SELL 2016 - 2018 ✔️TP1: 2012 ✔️TP2: 2008 🚫SL: 2021

Downtrend when meeting resistance of GBPUSDSterling was last 0.06% lower at $1.2598, but hovered near Friday's over two-month peak of $1.2615, on data last week showing that British companies unexpectedly reported a marginal return to growth in November after three months of contraction. "That indicates the resilience of the UK economy despite the very aggressive monetary policy tightening from the Bank of England," said Carol Kong, a currency strategist at Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA). "But we still expect the UK economy to weaken and experience a short-lived recession." The pound was on track for a roughly 3.7% gain for the month, its largest monthly gain in a year, aided by a falling U.S. dollar.

Gold is likely to fall as it encounters resistance in 2020Gold edged higher in the first Asian release. Research team Phillip Proof said in a commentary that there are certainly many people who believe the Fed has completed its energy bull cycle, noting gold rose to the key $2,000/oz level on Friday. The prospect that the Fed's tightening cycle could end could increase the appeal of the non-interest-bearing precious metal. Spot gold trading increased 0.1% at 2,003.48 USD/oz.

GBPUSD will decrease when it hits resistanceGBPUSD is a bit clearer as we can see a clear pattern of higher highs and higher lows this week. The question will be whether bulls have one more push to the upside and push Cable toward the 1.2600 handle. If we do break below the 50-day MA we have support at the 1.2400 mark and lower at the 1.2360 mark. A selloff ahead of the weekend may also be on the cards as this would be down to profit taking as buyers who got in during the early part of the week may want to close out before the weekend. A lot will depend on the return of liquidity tomorrow and how much risk market participants are willing to take before the weekend.

Markets have dialled back expectations of Fed rate cuts in 2024, with futures now showing a 26% chance that the Fed cuts its target rate at the March 2024 policy meeting, according to CME Group's FedWatch tool. That compares with a 33% chance last week. The euro stood at $1.0904, having risen 0.16% overnight after a series of preliminary surveys showed recession in Germany may be shallower than expected, which offset a downbeat reading of French business activity.

Gold trading ideas todayWorld gold spot price is around 1,991.9 USD/ounce, down 0.92 USD/ounce compared to overnight. Gold futures price for February 2024 on the Comex New York floor is at 2,013.3 USD/ounce. However, experts commented that the decline in gold prices was stopped by expectations that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) had ended the cycle of raising interest rates.

UBS analyst Giovanni Staunovo said that falling prices are a good buying opportunity because at some point the Fed will cut interest rates. This expert predicts that the gold price will increase to 2,150 USD/ounce by the end of 2024. OANDA:XAUUSD BUY 1990 - 1988 TP1: 1995 TP2: 2000 SL : 1983

AUDUSD BUY - High probability tradeHi Everyone, it's been a while but I'll slowly get back at posting my trading ideas here. Today's setup is on AUDUSD. AUD has had a good rally with the US Dollar weakness, which is currently retracing and reaching a key level. My Setup takes into account the 50% Fibonacci retracement as well as 0.65200 area of previous resistance that could be tested as a support to continue to move price up! I'm placing my stop loss below the Order Block that broke recent structure - in case the market does not respect that level, this setup will no longer be valid and we should look for another opportunity. However, I think this is a great trading idea with added confluences! Let me know your thoughts! Good luck! Cheers, Gaspar_Trader

XAUUSD : TODAY'S GOLD TRADING STRATEGY The movement in the precious metal comes amid global economic sentiment hit by a weakening US dollar and speculation about a more dovish policy stance by the Federal Reserve. The Comex gold market has been fueled by these expectations. According to forecasts from CME's Fedwatch tool, there is about a one-third chance that the Federal Reserve will begin cutting interest rates as early as March of next year, with the balance expected by the end of 2023. Further affecting market dynamics is lower-than-expected US bond yields, which are currently lower than Fed interest rates. What's different is that this has brought up discussions about the possibility of demonetization in the near future. Adding to the global economic story are China's pledges to argue for fiscal measures to strengthen the economic recovery. These solutions are spearheaded by the initiatives of Finance Minister Lan Fo'an. However, the cautionary tone was also struck by Richmond Fed President Thomas Barkin, who warned against a slow assessment of the timing of the cake that could require prolonged high interest rates.

The dollar fell to its lowest level in more than two months, falling deeper than last week as investors largely believed that the Federal Reserve The state has completed its rate hike cycle and is looking ahead to when it might begin cutting interest rates.

EURUSD | COULD HAVE A PULLBACK? SELLHey Traders! Okay this trade is against the overall market trend which is typically bad news, however we are sitting a important monthly pivot line 1.09434 in combination with the overbought RSI + the recent bearish harami candlestick formation. I believe should have a pullback towards the 20 MA which is around 60 pips, if that breaks then surely it will drop further down. 📈✅ Since its a reversal trade, I would lower lot size, because the risk is always higher when trading pullbacks.

Bitcoin pullback setup for short entryNothing all too technica l besides the overextension that we have seen. Mostly a short-hunt in my opinion. I am mostly founding this short on the recent performance BINANCE:YFIUSDT had. For those who are new, YFI is a genius-shitcoin that once was deemed to be the next btc I guess? AFAIK there were no recent developments / implementations made but I stand to be corrected. 50% gain in this short period seems just too much eh? Perhaps it is a bit more overextended compared to BITSTAMP:BTCUSD but in a more distilled way. Shitcoins like this paint a perfect picture of the human greed and we can sometimes use them as refrences. TP's really arbitrary, yet I am following a close line around the ascending diagonal line cause it might act as a support.
