Hellena | Oil (4H): Short to support area at 67 (Again).Dear Colleagues, I believe that price is still in a five-wave downtrend. The mid-order wave “3” is in a small correction, but very soon the downward movement will continue. I believe that the price has already closed the gap and may reach the resistance area of 74, then I expect the price to decline to the support area of 67.046. There are 2 possible courses of action: 1) The riskier one is to open a short position on the market. 2) Conservative - wait for the price to rise, and enter with less risk. Manage your capital correctly and competently! Only enter trades based on reliable patterns!

XAUUSD: 2600 support level is in focus, will it hold?Hello all dear XAUUSD traders! Gold price today is trading at $2,620/ounce, down sharply by $64 from the previous day's opening price of $2,684/ounce. Gold fell mainly due to the US dollar holding its position at a 4-month high around 105.5 points. In the same view, Daniel Ghali (analyst at TD Securities) agrees that the possibility of high tariffs applied during Donald Trump's presidency and the demand to hold USD are putting pressure on gold prices, as it is also related to the possibility that the US Federal Reserve (FED) may delay cutting interest rates. Technically, the price is reversing and intends to test the liquidity zones at the bottom... Emphasis on dynamic support at 2600. A consolidation before a breakdown is forming. If the price breaks this support level, selling pressure may increase. I do not rule out another attempt to retest resistance, say 2680-2685 before continuing lower following the classic structure as mentioned on the chart. Overall, both fundamentally and technically, the market feels in favor of the bears...

Gold Prices Plummet Today (November 12)Global gold prices have dropped significantly, mainly due to the strong rise of the US dollar and an increasing willingness among investors to take on risk. The primary reason is that the market is expecting a cautious policy stance from the Federal Reserve under the leadership of President-elect Donald Trump, which has boosted investor confidence in economic stability and reduced the demand for gold as a safe-haven asset. Looking at the technical chart, the EMA 34 and EMA 89 lines have not shown any signs of reversal, indicating that the downward trend in gold prices is still intact. Currently, the nearest resistance is at 2,706, while solid support is at 2,609. If gold continues to face selling pressure at the resistance zone, the likelihood of a deeper decline towards the support level at 2,609 is quite high. There is even a chance that gold could break through this support level if it revisits the resistance at 2,661. Will gold prices continue to fall, or will there be a reversal in the future? What do you think?

China's economic concerns drove oil prices lower Concerns regarding China's oil demand and the dollar's strength have decisively impacted oil prices, driving USOIL down to its lowest since October 29th. China's inflation data reveals significant weakness, intensifying fears of deflation. Additionally, the Trump administration's pressure on China is expected to exacerbate economic challenges for the nation, raising serious concerns about a potential downturn. After breaking the 70.00 threshold, USOIL retreated to 68.00. Both EMAs widen the gap, indicating a continuous bearish momentum. If USOIL breaks the trendline, which has extended since mid-Sep, the price may fall further to this year's low of 64.50. Conversely, if USOIL breaches the resistance at 70.00, where EMA21 coincides, the price could gain upward momentum toward 73.50.

Gold Bearish Trend Analysis: New Bottom May Be FormingWelcome to all gold traders! After a volatile week with a series of news, today's gold price has gradually shown a downward trend. At this time, gold is fluctuating around the 2670 threshold and has not yet found the momentum to escape the downward trend. Many people must be wondering: Why did the gold price drop so sharply? Regarding the international market situation: The main reason for the recent gold sell-off is the strengthening of the USD, which increased sharply after a series of remarkable economic news. In particular, bond yields increased due to concerns about new tax policies and tax cuts that could push inflation back. Investors reacted to the possibility that the Fed would maintain tightening policies for longer, putting great pressure on gold prices. Gold Technical Analysis and Forecast: On the technical chart, gold has broken below both the 34-day and 89-day exponential moving averages (EMA), which is a clear signal that the downtrend could continue. Currently, gold is hovering around the support level of 2665, while the nearest resistance level is at 2680. If the support level of 2665 is broken, there is a high possibility that gold will continue to fall to lower levels, such as the bottom of 2643 and even deeper.

XAUUSD: The Downtrend Is Not Over YetDear Traders! Today, gold prices fell sharply, ending the week at $2,684, recording a decrease of 0.83%. The rising US dollar, fueled by political uncertainty, put a lot of downward pressure on gold. The shift of investors to riskier assets added to the selling pressure on gold in the market, reinforcing the bearish trend. Analysis of the 4-hour chart shows that gold prices are currently facing resistance at the important resistance zone of $2,700 - $2,715. The 34 EMA has crossed below the 89 EMA, a sign that sellers are in control. If the price fails to break through this resistance zone and continues to be under pressure, gold is likely to find support at $2,640 - $2,656. In the event that the price drops below $2,640, the short-term bearish outlook will become stronger, with a deeper target in the near term.

Market MoversWhat will happen when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? -- Market Basics -- Commodities are like an "immovable object". They have no legs, they pay no dividends / yield rates. Unlike stocks, owning them doesn't give you the ability to "vote" for the growth of a company. When you buy them, you don't get a "souvenir" contract to hang on your office wall. Commodities are materials, so cumbersome that you have to store them in a freaking silo. Commodities don't expire. You can only buy them, store them and sell them. Perhaps convert them into some other material, but this is in sense a sort of selling and buying. Either we are talking about hard commodities or stocks, markets are based on the exchange of rare / (semi) fixed supply of goods. Markets is a massive supply of goods. But to dance there must be two. If there was nobody to buy and sell, then there would not be any market. Natural/abundant materials like sea water, Markets is a massive supply of traders. -- Market Patterns -- On the main chart I have drawn some colored lines. The zig-zagged orange ones (I call them springs) represent periods of accumulation (or distribution), while the blue abrupt ones represent bull (or bear) corrections. The same springs appear innumerable times in recent Bitcoin history. This cryptocurrency goes through apparent periods of accumulation (orange) and distribution (blue). All of these ovals are periods when price movement takes the shape of a "spring", and between them a short correctional move. -- Wyckoff Analysis -- Wyckoff made some observances of how markets move. Just like our previous analysis, we witness the same "upwards springs" usually seen in periods of distribution. A similar chart can be plotted for accumulation periods. -- Art of Discount -- Capitalism is the art of discounts. A shop (seller) can find customers (buyers) simply by lowering prices (and good advertising). It is the act of deliberate price change that causes market movements. Consider the following scenario. A very specific shirt from a known brand can be sold in innumerable places throughout the world. The historical price of this item is also tracked by financial firms. We consider a fixed supply of this item (this shirt is produced for one year only). Every day copies of this shirt are sold in similar prices (but not identical). A shop can make slightly better discounts to encourage buyers. Another shop in a tourist area can have higher prices due to increased demand. We realize that, while the financial firm tracks the "spot price" of a commodity, it is just calculating an "average price" of the underlying asset. -- Business 101 -- A seller will not sell lower than what they bought. Not all shops are equal. Some of them may have made a large initial order of shirts with a good price from the factory. Other ones made smaller orders with higher initial buying price. Therefore, the following table can be constructed of the available supply of shirts, based on initial buying price. 1000 shirts of $10 each 500 shirts of $11 each 250 shirts of $12 each 125 shirts of $14 each 125 shirts of $17 each IPO is the weighted average price (1000*10 + 500*11 + ... ) / 2000 = $11.1875 (notice that these prices are the ones shops bought from factory, let's say the final selling price to the customer is 2x of the prices above) -- Market Psychology -- With ample supply of shirts, a reasonable buyer will almost certainly buy the best offering they can. They will obviously buy from the cheaper shop they can find, one of the many which have prices of $20 per shirt (2 * $10). While prices are fixed, buyer habits are not constant. They will gradually exhaust the cheaper end of the supply. When 500 of the cheapest shirts are sold, the average price is calculated again. Now there are 500x10 + 500x11 + ... with a total of 1500 and an average price of $11.5833 Price before demand: $11.18, price after demand $11.58 Unsurprisingly, demand has caused prices to increase. Of course this change is not linear. Shops which bought at $10 and have many sellers, will attempt to increase prices from strong demand and increase profits. Price increase will inevitably result in lower demand. The inevitable crash will follow. Demand has vanished and prices abruptly crash. This happens when all $10 shops reached the selling price of $11 ones. A rapid correction back down to $10 follows. A chart of Bitcoin is shown to demonstrate this oscillation. -- End of the Road -- The exact same happens in periods of accumulation in the end of the cycle. In the initial period of market cycles, prices have their lowest price, in the end the highest. (this is not always the case, but it is always the target) When most shirts are sold, all shops are still working, most of them have supply in hand, and selling prices have reached $34 (2x$17). It is then when the most expensive of shops have their chance to make their target profit. Prices have gone so high and the new season is right around the corner. We have reached a dilemma. We cannot increase prices much higher because demand will not show up. If the most expensive of shops cannot reach their target price of $34, they will definitely have to make $17 per shirt to break-even. It is that pressure which makes sellers slowly and progressively reduce prices to find demand. A downward zig-zag is taking shape. -- Conclusion -- This entire idea is by itself a conclusion. A tale of a fight between the unstoppable force of traders against the immovable object of assets. The chaos of capitalism simplified. Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler. Tread lightly, for this is hallowed ground. -Father Grigori
