GOLD--> Local trend changing? Will it rise to new ATH?OANDA:XAUUSD after a false breakout at 2700, the price has returned to a correction phase, aiming to consolidate its potential for continuing the trend. In the current situation, the fundamental backdrop is shifting in favor of the metal, which active buyers are pursuing...
Gold has not reacted significantly to the previous rally of the dollar, despite hawkish signals from the Fed.
The reason for the metal's rise lies in the escalation of tensions following the UK and US allowing Ukraine to use weapons to strike deep into Russian territory. Russia responded with stronger attacks afterward. Fundamentally, these actions make gold a safe haven choice for protecting assets.
This week, due to the Thanksgiving holidays in the US, trading volumes are expected to fluctuate sharply at the beginning of the week.
Technically, it is predicted that the precious metal could update its ATH this year. However, short-term levels ahead need to be monitored closely. Specifically:
Support levels: 2685, 2675, 2650
Resistance levels: 2711, 2733, 2750
Nonetheless, the upcoming resistance levels must be observed, as they are likely to trigger the next move for the metal. The adjustment toward the nearest liquidity zones is expected, but we are not talking about a reversal. The correction could end quickly, and the price is likely to return to an upward phase. The medium-term target is 2731-2750.

Super Micro Computer (SMCI): Could this be 2024’s comeback?Could we be witnessing one of the most remarkable comebacks of the year?
NASDAQ:SMCI surged an incredible 123% in just eight trading days, turning our position back into profit—a scenario that seemed unlikely not long ago. This highlights how patience in trading often pays off. The key reclaim of the Point of Control (POC) at $26.59 is a pivotal development. It’s crucial that NASDAQ:SMCI remains above this level as the week ends, which could also mark a significant monthly close.
On the technical side, NASDAQ:SMCI was oversold on the 3D timeframe for the first time since March 2020, which may partly explain the rapid recovery and increased buying pressure.
Fundamentally, last week marked the stock’s best five-day stretch on record following the appointment of BDO as its new independent auditor. This move, combined with a submitted compliance plan to Nasdaq, aims to address the delayed filing of its annual 10-K and quarterly 10-Q forms—previously threatening delisting.
If NASDAQ:SMCI successfully files these reports, investor confidence could soar, potentially driving the stock much higher. However, failure to meet these requirements could result in a sharp sell-off. While we could have added at the bottom, patience remains critical as the situation evolves. ✅
Trader Health: Preventing Common IssuesThe life of a trader, while exhilarating and financially rewarding, can also be fraught with unique health challenges that often go unrecognized until it’s too late. Unlike traditional jobs that offer the flexibility of sick leave and ensure a steady income during times of illness, traders operate within a high-stakes environment that demands their constant attention and decision-making. This reality places the responsibility of health maintenance squarely on the shoulders of the individual. In this post, we will explore some of the most prevalent health issues faced by traders and offer practical steps for prevention and management.
THE VITAL IMPORTANCE OF HEALTH FOR TRADERS
📍 Eye Strain and Visual Fatigue
One of the most frequent complaints among traders is eye strain, resulting from prolonged hours spent gazing at computer screens. The desire to capitalize on market opportunities often leads to extended periods of focus, which can take a toll on one's vision. To combat this common issue, traders are encouraged to:
🔹 Take Regular Breaks: Step away from the computer every two hours for at least 15 minutes to give your eyes a rest.
🔹 Utilize Diverse Strategies: Employ trading strategies that require varying levels of focus, such as alternating between short- and long-term trades. Utilizing indicators that visualize data with color-coded areas can also help reduce mental fatigue.
🔹 Practice Eye Exercises: Remember to blink frequently and shift your gaze to distant objects to alleviate strain.
🔹 Seek Medical Advice: At the first sign of visual discomfort, it’s wise to consult a healthcare professional and consider taking a break from trading.
📍 Musculoskeletal Disorders
Another significant health concern for traders is the risk of musculoskeletal disorders, including back pain and arthritis, often resulting from poor posture and extended sedentary behavior. To mitigate these risks, consider the following recommendations:
🔸 Maintain Proper Posture: Sit upright with a supportive chair and keep your screen at eye level to reduce neck strain.
🔸 Strengthen Core Muscles: Engage in regular exercises to strengthen back muscles and improve overall posture.
🔸 Change Positions Frequently: Avoid staying in one position for too long; adjust your seating arrangement or take short walks to foster movement.
📍 Psychological Well-being
Traders are also susceptible to psychological challenges, including anxiety, sleep disturbances, and addictive behaviors. The pressure to perform can create a vicious cycle of overwork and emotional strain. Address this by:
⚫️ Recognizing Signs of Stress: Be aware of the symptoms of burnout and take proactive steps to manage your workload and emotional well-being.
⚫️ Diversifying Activities: Engage in hobbies unrelated to trading to provide mental relief and prevent burnout.
⚫️ Building a Support Network: Establish connections with fellow traders or mentors to share experiences and cultivate a positive outlook on trading.
📍 Combating Harmful Habit
In an effort to cope with the stresses of trading, some may turn to alcohol or excessive caffeine. While these substances may offer temporary relief, they can lead to detrimental health effects. Instead, opt for healthier leisure activities that promote relaxation and physical health, such as:
▶️ Physical Exercise: Incorporate regular physical activity into your routine, whether through swimming, cycling, or even visiting a shooting range.
▶️ Mindfulness and Relaxation Techniques: Engage in practices such as yoga or meditation to enhance mental clarity and resilience.
📍 The Importance of Physical Activity
Prolonged periods of inactivity can lead to various health problems, including cardiovascular issues, obesity, and muscle atrophy. To counteract these effects, traders should aim to:
🔔 Break Up Sitting Time: Set a timer to remind yourself to stand and stretch or walk around every hour.
🔔 Engage in Regular Exercise: Incorporate both cardiovascular and strength-training workouts into your weekly schedule to maintain overall health.
📍 Conclusion
In the dynamic world of trading, safeguarding your health is paramount for sustained success and well-being. The rigors of this profession present unique physical and psychological challenges that, if left unaddressed, can lead to serious health implications. Ultimately, recognizing the signs of stress and prioritizing self-care is essential for achieving a balanced and productive trading career. As we navigate the complexities of the financial markets, let us also commit to prioritizing our health. The journey of a trader should not only be measured in financial gains but also in the quality of life lived.

Market News Report - 24 November 2024It's become clichéd to report another bullish week for the dollar. Meanwhile, the Japanese yen and the British pound were among the most bearish.
The dynamic with the greenback is interesting in that, despite the bearish fundamentals, the currency is still pretty strong. Let's cover this idea and more in our latest market news report.
Market Overview
Below is a brief technical and fundamental analysis breakdown for all major currencies.
US dollar (USD)
Short-term outlook: weak bearish.
The Fed recently cut the interest rate by 25 basis points/bps from 5.00% to 4.75%. While labour data was down recently, this was mainly due to the impact of US hurricanes and labour disputes with Boeing.
While some mildly positive economic data exists, the bearish bias remains for USD, with STIR pricing indicating one more 25 bps cut in December. However, Powell stated on November 14th that the economy isn't giving signals that the Fed must be in a rush to cut rates.
The Dixie continues to head north, touching the key resistance at 107.348. Meanwhile, the key support is far away at 100.157, which will remain untouched for some time.
Long-term outlook: bearish.
A noteworthy point about the recent Fed meeting is the removal of the line "the committee has gained greater confidence that inflation is moving sustainably towards 2 percent." Finally, Powell also clarified that the US elections won't affect their decisions going forward.
The big takeaway is that the Fed will see how fast/far they should cut rates.
Euro (EUR)
Short-term outlook: bearish.
The short-term interest rate (STIR) markets were predictably accurate as the European Central Bank (ECB) cut the interest rate last month. However, they remain data-dependent on what to do in the future (although they are quite concerned about slow growth).
Short-term interest rate markets have indicated an 84% chance of a rate cut in December (also backed by the ECB's Stournaras). Also, we have seen weaker economic data across various European nations.
Another concern is that a protectionist US policy (with Donald Trump winning the election) could impact trade in the Eurozone, suggesting the potential for lower growth due to tariff risks. Actually, the dollar is among the euro's main drivers.
The euro has clearly broken the key support we mentioned previously (1.07774) - the next area of interest is 1.04485. Meanwhile, the key resistance remains far higher at 1.12757.
Long-term outlook: bearish.
The latest rate cut and the avoidance of indicating a clear future move for the December meeting are among the key down-trending factors. However, any improvements in economic data (according to the ECB) would be a turnaround.
The threat of a fresh trade tariff with Trump is hugely influential and may cause the euro to be sold off on tariff fears.
British pound (GBP)
Short-term outlook: bearish.
The Bank of England (BoE) recently cut the bank rate from 5% to 4.75% as anticipated. The language indicates they need to be restrictive and a "gradual approach" to policy easing. Governor Bailey also highlighted that rates will probably be brought down cautiously.
Despite this, we saw a slight increase in GBP/USD. This may be in line with the BoE's slightly hawkish attitude due to recent inflationary pressures.
Like other dollar pairs, GBP/USD has looked bearish for some time. After breaching the key support at 1.26165, the next area of interest is now 1.22994. Meanwhile, the resistance target is far away at 1.34343.
Long-term outlook: weak bearish.
The BoE sees inflation (its main concern currently) as being stickier for longer. Bailey wishes to see it down to 2%. This is a moderately hawkish hint. Overall, incoming CPI (and other economic) data will be important for the British pound.
Japanese yen (JPY)
Short-term outlook: bullish.
The Bank of Japan (BoJ) recently kept the interest rate the same at the end of last month. So, our outlook remains largely unchanged. However, a rise in USD/JPY could raise the possibility of the BoJ's intervention.
At the last BoJ interest rate announcement, Ueda stated that hikes would continue if the central bank's projections weren't realised. Last week, he backed up this sentiment by saying that keeping real interest rates too long for too long would lead to higher inflation, which is a hawkish suggestion.
The 139.579 support area is proving quite strong, boosting the yen since mid-September. Still, the major resistance (at 161.950) is too far for traders to worry about.
Long-term outlook: weak bullish.
The BoJ's tightening stance and inflationary pressures give the yen a bullish mood. The central bank wishes to avoid further JPY weakness, with Finance Minister Kato warning against 'excessive FX moves.'
We should also keep an eye on US Treasury yields, as rising yields could derail JPY upside. Conversely, any declines in US yields would likely provide a major boost to the yen.
Australian dollar (AUD)
The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) kept its interest rate unchanged last week, marking the eighth consecutive hold. They emphasised that policy will remain restrictive until inflation moves toward its target. The RBA also lowered its GDP forecasts while the labour market remains tight.
Diarise the upcoming CPI for the Aussie on Wednesday.
Despite the slightly bullish fundamentals, the dollar is dominant against the Aussie. The key resistance level lies ahead at 0.69426, while the major support remains at 0.63484. Despite this bearish setup, consider the interesting dynamic with the opposite fundamentals of AUD and USD in your overall analysis.
Long-term outlook: weak bullish.
While the RBA suggests that rate hikes won't be necessary going forward, it hasn't ruled anything out. Governor Bullock recently mentioned that they would act if the economy dropped more than desired.
It’s crucial to be data-dependent on the Aussie, especially with core inflation as the RBA's key focus area. Also, the Australian dollar is procyclical, with particular exposure to China's geopolitics. Trump's recent win in the US election means the prospect of trade tariffs with China has increased (potentially causing headwinds for AUD).
New Zealand dollar (NZD)
Short-term outlook: bearish.
Unsurprisingly, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZD) cut its interest rate by 50 bps recently and sees further easing ahead. This affirms another cut this Tuesday of potentially the same magnitude.
Furthermore, the central bank is confident that inflation will remain in the target zone, adding more impetus to the bearish bias.
The Kiwi has been on a notable downward spiral, proving the strength of the major resistance level at 0.63790. While lingering around 0.58498, another considerable support target is nearby at 0.57736.
Long-term outlook: bearish.
A 50 bps rate cut is predicted for the meeting on Tuesday. They also revised the OCR rates lower and signalled steady winnings in the inflation battle.
As with the Aussie, potential headwinds for NZD are considered due to the trade tariff issues between China and the United States.
Canadian dollar (CAD)
Short-term outlook: bearish.
The Bank of Canada (BoC) unsurprisingly delivered a 50 bps cut on Wednesday. Further cuts remain on the cards, with the long-term target being 3%.
The BoC is signalling victory over inflation due to the cuts, with Governor Macklem suggesting that they would probably cut further until they achieve the optimal low inflation. In their words, 'stick the landing.'
Overall, the bias remains bearish - expect strong rallies in CAD to find sellers.
While the short-term fundamental biases of USD and CAD are bearish, CAD is the weakest on the charts. USD/CAD has finally exceeded the key resistance at 1.39468. While the new target in the meanwhile is 1.41058, let's see what happens around the former area. Meanwhile, the key support lies far down at 1.34197.
Long-term outlook: weak bearish.
Expectations of a rate cut remain the focal point, with STIR markets indicating a 67% chance of a 25 bps cut and a 33% chance of a 50 bps cut in December. The Bank of Canada has recognised the lower economic growth, and Macklem wishes to see this improve. Furthermore, any big misses in upcoming GBP, inflation, and labour data would send CAD lower.
Still, encouraging oil prices and general economic data improvement would save the Canadian dollar's blushes - the opposite is true.
Swiss franc (CHF)
Short-term outlook: bearish.
STIR markets were, as usual, correct in their 43% chance of a 25 bps rate cut (from 1.25% to 1%) recently. In the Sept. 26 meeting, the Swiss National (SNB) indicated its preparedness to intervene in the FX market and further rate cuts in the coming quarters.
The central bank's new Chair (Schlegel) said they "cannot rule out negative rates." Finally, the October CPI came in weak at 0.6% (another poor result, as for the September data).
Still, the Swiss franc can strengthen during geopolitical tensions like a worsening Middle East crisis.
USD/CHF keeps rising steadily towards the major support level at 0.83326, while the major resistance level is at 0.92244.
Long-term outlook: weak bearish.
The bearish sentiment remains after the last SNB meeting, while inflation is being tamed with lower revisions. We should also remember that the SNB's intervention prevents the appreciation of the Swiss franc.
The new chairman is more keen to cut rates than his predecessor, Jordan. The SNB aims for neutral rates between 0 and 0.50% (currently at 1%). However, STIR markets only see a 33% chance of a 50 bps cut next month.
Conclusion
In summary:
The US dollar remains one of the key currencies to watch, given the recent elections and Trump's potential to affect trade relations with the likes of Australia and New Zealand.
The NZD interest rate decision is the main high-impact economic event this week.
Our short and long-term fundamental outlooks remain largely unchanged from the last few months.
As always, hope for the best and prepare for the worst. This report should help you determine your bias toward each currency in the short and long term.

ICPUSD 1D Golden Cross can kickstart an amazing +250% rally!Internet Computer (ICPUSD) is about to form a Golden Cross on the 1D time-frame. The long-term prevailing pattern seems to be a Channel Up since the February 19 2023 High and November 04 2024 is a technical Higher Low.
The previous one was also formed a few weeks before a 1D Golden Cross, which kickstarted a non-stop rally to the 1.618 Fibonacci extension. The 1.382 Fib is at +250% from the current level at $32.00 and that is our current long-term Target.

NASDAQ looking to hold the 4H MA50 in order to sustain the rallyNasdaq (NDX) broke on Friday above its 4H MA50 (blue trend-line) and today is looking to re-test it as a Support. The medium-term pattern has been a Channel Up since the September 06 Low and every time the 4H MA50 broke following a bottom, it held and sustained the Bullish Leg until the top.
It appears that the most common rally % within this pattern is +6.80%. As a result, assuming the 4H MA50 holds, our Target is 21650.

EURUSD Today's 1D Death Cross turning into a 3 month rally!The EURUSD pair is having a strong bullish reversal after marginally breaking on Friday below the bottom (Lower Lows trend-line) of the 1.5 year Channel Down. The 1W RSI got marginally oversold (below 30.00), which is a technical buy level.
So far it is similar to the October 03 2023 bottom, which was formed on a 1D Death Cross, exactly the kind of pattern that is being completed today! That bottom initiated a strong 3-month rally that hit the 0.618 and 0.786 Fibonacci retracement level respectively. Our long-term Target is 1.08765 (Fib 0.618).

XAUUSD testing the 4H MA50. Entered technical buy zone.Gold (XAUUSD) gave us a strong bottom buy signal on our last analysis (November 18, see chart below) right after it touched the 1D MA100 (green trend-line) for the first time in 9 months (since February 15 2024):
That was an ideal technical Higher Low for the long-term Channel Up and the rally that followed confirmed it. Since the Friday top however it got a heavy rejection and today is back on the 4H MA50 (blue trend-line). That is also the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level, so it is gradually entering the 0.618 - 0.5 Fib Buy Zone.
On top of that, we can see that throughout this Channel Up pattern, every break below the 4H MA50 (during Bullish Leg) was received with a massive bullish reversal. The 4H RSI Higher Lows trend-line can determine the approximate max extension of the price.
In any event, this is a strong short-term buy opportunity. We keep our 2790 Target intact.

XAU/USD : Gold will rise more? (READ THE CAPTION)Analyzing the #Gold chart on the 4-hour timeframe, we can see that, as expected, the price experienced a very slight correction before continuing its upward movement. In the past hours, gold reached $2710, which we previously identified as a supply zone. As a result, the price reacted to this level and corrected by over 100 pips, currently trading around $2700.
After another minor correction, I believe gold could continue its upward trend. One of the key supply zones to watch is $2736 to $2738—keep an eye on it! 🚀
Please support me with your likes and comments to motivate me to share more analysis with you and share your opinion about the possible trend of this chart with me !

Trading minute impulseOn the minute timeframe of XAUUSD at the moment we have the completion of the impulse formation. If the price continues to move in the direction of the impulse and the support zones do not allow it to overcome the base of the impulse, it may reach the targets 1 and 2. If the price fails to advance in the direction of the momentum and overcomes the support zone at the base of the momentum, it is very likely that the price will move sideways or against the direction of the momentum.
Lingrid | BITCOIN trend CONTINUATION Pattern FormedThe price perfectly fulfilled my last idea. It hit the target level. BINANCE:BTCUSDT market has formed a triangle pattern, which is a trend continuation formation. The price is making higher lows, indicating strong buying pressure. Previously, it reached an all-time high (ATH) of around 93,000 then rebounded from it. If you notice, the price has consistently been testing and bouncing off the support level of 90,000, which appears to be a significant level and respecting the upward trendline. I anticipate that the price to make a new ATH since it broke through the channel and play out the triangle pattern. My goal is resistance zone around 95,000.

Lingrid | GOLD Market Weekly Technical AnalysisOANDA:XAUUSD market has rebounded this week, recovering losses from the previous week, after it bounced off a key support level. Additionally, the market broke through and closed above the psychological level at 2,700. On the daily timeframe, the last five candles have been bullish/green in a row, indicating strong buying momentum.
On the weekly timeframe, the market broke above the previous week’s high with ease, closing above it, which suggests a lack of selling pressure, especially since Friday was packed with high-impact news. On the monthly timeframe, the market clearly demonstrates a liquidity grab below the previous month's low and is forming a long-tailed bar that will hint at future price action on the close.
Given the recent bullish momentum, gold is likely to continue its upward trend, with short-term pullbacks providing buying opportunities. The resistance level at 2,800 appears to be more of a target than a barrier, and I expect gold will bounce off this level creating short-term pullback and continue rising on its third approach.

The same 100-102K target in focusMorning folks,
So, our suggestion that BTC is aimed on 100K and will keep going to it directly seems was correct. J. Yellen resigned, and it was another positive news for BTC.
Anyway, currently we see no reasons to change our trading plan. On daily chart we have bullish grabber, suggesting upward continuation.
So, it is just a few steps until the target. We suggest that some pattern could finalize this action. It might be either butterfly or 3-Drive - they have different shape but the same target. Invalidation point for this setup is 95K lows. THis is for those who trade on intraday charts.
For, greater setups we need to wait for reaction on 100K target. We do not exclude the chance of moderate pullback, so something bearish might be formed there. Let's keep watching.
EURUSD -> Opportunity for Bears to Fill the GapHello dear friends, Ben here!
Overall, after an impressive increase in the beginning of the day, EUR/USD expanded a gap. Theoretically, this usually usually signals a complete inspection of this liquidity area.
Meanwhile, the US dollar index (DXY), monitoring the performance of the US dollar compared to the six main currencies, has dropped to about 107.00 after reaching the highest level in two years as 108.07 in Friday. However, the risk of discount on USD is still limited, as recent economic data has consolidated the expectation that the Federal Reserve (Fed) can slow down the rate of interest cuts, so drought drought Made any increase in EURUSD.
Lingrid | EURUSD Bearish TREND continuation OPPORTUNITYFX:EURUSD gapped up early this morning, and that gap has yet to be filled. The price has been making lower lows following the high-impact news from last Friday. On the weekly timeframe, the price broke below and closed below a significant range zone, indicating a potential bearish sentiment in the market. I believe the market may decline toward lower levels, given the recent bearish momentum. The price is approaching the resistance zone around 1.0500 and above. If the market rejects this resistance and the downward trendline, it could drop all the way down to 1.0200. My goal is support zone around 1.03000
