XAUUSD | New perspective | follow-up details

已更新

The previous week witnessed a risk-averse market atmosphere that helped the US Dollar find demand at the 1,970 area as a safe haven ahead of the FOMC. Economic data from the previous week reveals that though inflation is falling, it still remains well above the Federal Reserve's annual goal of 2% hereby increasing the expectations of another 25 basis-point interest rate hike when the central bank meets next week - a move which is likely going to favor the Greenback. In this video, we have taken the time to dissect the current market structure from a technical standpoint to identify potential trading opportunities ahead of the new month.

The new month has started on a bearish note and it is clearly illustrated on the chart the activities of market participants in the first few hours of the week. So, we are waiting for a signal in the form of either a breakout or a breakdown of the current structure. However, because of the demand zone - it is important to note that the breakdown of the support line will not trigger a sell position as we need a confirmation of selling pressure before joining.

Good morning

注释

The fallout from our morning live session; recall that we are looking at a retest (selling pressure) after the breakdown of the 1,980 level before joining a bearish move.

UPDATE
15-minute outlook

交易手动结束

The buy position moved about 150pips in our direction before the sell pressure resumes. We are waiting for normalcy following a positive ISM manufacturing PMI... update coming soon

Outlook on the 15-minute timeframe

A simple set-up identified as the support line recognized earlier at the 1,980 level has been "supporting" buying pressure in the last couple of hours hence a breakout/retest of the 1,984 will confirm an uptrend. However, a breakdown/retest of the 1,980 level will welcome selling opportunities. Please let's wait for confirmation.
