Index
DOW JONES: Overbought and at the top of the Channel Up. Bearish Dow Jones is on a bullish 1D technical outlook (RSI = 59.534, MACD = 196.180, ADX = 37.569) that up to last week was overbought but now the momentum shows weakness on losing steam as the price is at the top of the Channel Up pattern. The 1D CCI is showing the same decline from overbought levels that it showed before the three major declines in 2023. This keeps us bearish on Dow, targeting the 0.382 Fibonacci level (TP = 36,500) which was the first target of the two prior HH of the Channel Up.

S&P500: Channel Up topped. Correction possible.S&P500 is only a few points away from hitting the HL trendline of the long term Channel Up (started on the October 13 2022 Low). That would be the second time to test the patterns absolute Top. The 1D technical outlook is on standard bullish levels (RSI = 67.767, MACD = 49.570, ADX = 38.770) but the 1D RSI in particular has formed the very same pattern it did during the July 2022, January 2023 and December 2022 Channel Up Highs.
Consequently we have all the technical evidence we need for a 1 month at least short. The first Support is the 1D MA50 but in order to keep the long term uptrend on sustainable levels, it would be better to approach the 1D MA200. We expect the pullback to almost hit the 1D MA200 and touch at least the 0.382 Fibonacci of the Channel (TP = 4,600).

GOLD|SHORT OR LONG?Hello friends, I hope you are doing well.
You can see the gold chart in the 1-hour time frame.
By fixing the candle above the supply area and collecting all the liquidity in this area.
Now we have a new supply area (2051-2056) and we have to wait for the reactions in this area.
We have the 1-hour demand area (2031-2033), which has caused significant upward movements three times.
The general trend is upward, we are currently in a trending range, this trend may change from this area.
DXY SHORT TERM BULLISH !!!HELLO TRADERS.
As I can see DXY on smaller TF creating H & S pattern we are looking for it to test the downtrend line once in 2024 and then all the way down its just a trade idea has a look on our previous analysis share Ur thoughts with us, we appreciate Ur love and comments.
Stay Tuned for more updates!
NASDAQ: Is the correction starting?Nasdaq isn't overbought on the 1D time-frame anymore but technically it remains bullish (RSI = 63.538, MACD = 210.050, ADX = 41.826) and will continue to be as long as the two month Channel Up holds. It may be supported by the 1D MA50 but if the index follows the late July peak formation and crosses under the 0.382 Fibonacci level, then we expect a technical short term correction. The crossing will be our sell entry trigger and we will target the S1 level (TP = 16,200).

GOLD|Weekly roadmap and important areasHello guys, I hope you are doing well
Let's review what happened last week
You can see the gold chart in 1 hour.
As we expected, the resistance zone prevented the growth of the gold price.
We have a support level, we have to wait for this level to be broken, if we had a close candle below this level, we can enter sell positions in reversals.
There is a possibility that the demand zone (2004-2008) will be tested again.
In general, selling pressure is more on gold.
Look for more sales positions.
Important areas are drawn on the chart.
Look for confirmation to enter trading positions by using candlestick patterns and trend breakouts.
I mentioned the types of candlestick patterns in the previous post, be sure to read them. In this way we work, smart money, candlestick patterns are one of the trading tools.
There is a lot of strong news in the coming week, starting from the FOMC, FEC speech, which will obviously discuss the further situation with inflation and interest rate, and NonFarm Payrolls on Friday. This period is expected to be quite volatile, but only in its second half.
Pic:1h time frame important areas
support level:(2014)-(2004-2008)-(1992-1998)
resistance level:(2023-2025)-(2031-2036)
Are we close to peak China pessimism?President Xi Jinping’s New Year address put paid to hopes of much larger stimulus.
In his address, President Xi pointed to the consolidation and enhancement of the
economic recovery and no signs of a boost from policy coming. Furthermore,
China’s economic growth for 2023 came out at 5.2%, above the central
government’s 5% forecast, which it boasted it was able to achieve without relying
on large stimulus.
China’s real GDP growth to slow further in 2024. Investors' pessimism towards China’s economy could be nearing a peak given recent efforts by policymakers to stabilize sentiment.
Policymakers acting to stabilize sentiment: China’s policymakers are
feeling the need to stabilize investor sentiment and this week have taken two
steps in this direction. First, following a recent State Council meeting, Premier
Li Qiang suggested help is on the way for China’s beleaguered stock market.
Newswire reports suggest this help could include CNY 2.3trn of funds (mainly
from SOEs) to buy Chinese equities to prop up the market. Such a measure
could help put a bottom on investors’ China pessimism. However, such purchases would not address their underlying concerns including a weak residential property market, local government debts, the lack of policy easing, and the risk of another regulatory clampdown.
Second, the PBoC surprised with an RRR cut as well as a cut to its re-lending
and discount rates. While I was expecting cuts to both, the
size and timing were surprising given the recent disappointment of the PBoC
keeping its MLF on hold. The PBoC also sounded dovish suggesting further
room to ease policy given the gap between actual and target prices and the
Fed’s pivot towards easing.

JPY: Tokyo driftThe sharp falls in Tokyo inflation for January remind investors of the ending of the
BoJ’s YCC and/or NIRP in 2024 are not set in stone. Tokyo inflation is a very good
leading indicator for the nationwide inflation data. Tokyo inflation excluding fresh
food as well as headline inflation plunged below the BoJ’s 2% target to 1.6% YoY;
well below the consensus forecasts. January is the first time Tokyo inflation
excluding fresh food is below the 2% target in a bit over 18 months. Tokyo inflation
excluding fresh food and energy dropped to 3.1% YoY; also well below the
consensus forecast. The Tokyo inflation data will challenge the increased
confidence expressed by BoJ Governor Kazuo Ueda in his post-meeting press
conference that the central bank will meet its inflation goal. This confidence helped
the JPY stage a modest rally this week as JGB yields moved higher in anticipation
of the formal ending of YCC as well as NIRP in the coming months. The Minutes
to the BoJ’s December meeting continue to feed this speculation as Board
members shared the view that deepening discussion on the timing and pace to
raise rates was required.
Another factor that can give ground to the Yen is the BOJ intervention in the Forex market which had already happened a couple of times in 2023. They are closely tracking the USDJPY rate and tend to intervene around the 150.00 level which is about to be tested soon. For now, BOJ prefers FX interventions as they are effective so far and not damaging the already deflating economy as real interest rate increases would do. The Japanese Governor Ueda is also using his words wisely as we can see, only speaking about potential interest rate hikes affects the currency as if they increased them already although getting out of the ultra-loose policy is highly unlikely in 2024.
Check out my other ideas below:
Rate-cut discussions are prematureThe ECB left its monetary policy unchanged, in line with expectations. The information available since the December meeting has largely confirmed the central bank’s assessment of the medium-term inflation outlook, leaving the Governing Council (GC) in a wait-and-see mode. ECB President Lagarde confirmed her Davos comments, hence indicating that she still expects the first rate cut to come in summer, but the market is not convinced, and dovish remarks here and there actually fueled meaningful rate-cut expectations already for the April meeting. While the
ECB’s GDP and CPI forecasts will likely be revised down in March, the GC seems absolutely determined to play it safe on inflation, and this will continue as long as the labor market holds up. I still expect the first rate cut in June, followed by a gradual reduction at a pace of 25bp per quarter towards a broadly neutral level of 2%.
Despite ongoing weakness in indicators of economic activity, the GC appears relatively relaxed about the growth outlook, largely thanks to ongoing resilience in the labor market. The statement mentions signs of recovery in some leading indicators, despite most of them still pointing to broad stagnation in GDP.
Did Ms. Lagarde want to signal that the GC is warming up to the idea of an “early” start to the easing cycle? Probably not. Her rhetoric was mainly aimed at strengthening the message that the ECB is data-dependent, as opposed to calendar-driven.
EU faces pressure to defuse mounting anger as farmers protest aGiven the mounting anger and protests by farmers across Europe, there appears to be a significant challenge stemming from contradictory and potentially detrimental agricultural policies. The grievances include increased costs for agricultural diesel, additional fees for water consumption, complex regulations, and objections to bans on pesticides and herbicides mandated by the EU's Green Deal. The farmers are also concerned about the import of beef from countries like Brazil and Argentina, which they argue have laxer rules on animal welfare, making competition difficult.
This unrest, originating in France but spreading to neighboring countries, signals a broader issue with unpredictable government decisions affecting agriculture. In the Netherlands and Germany, similar protests have arisen over regulations to cut nitrogen emissions and phase out fuel subsidies, respectively. In Germany, there is also resentment over what is perceived as the unfair application of environmental policies.
With protests extending to Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Hungary, and Bulgaria, concerns range from unfair competition from cut-price cereals to high taxes and tight regulations. The impact of droughts, floods, and wildfires, combined with the squeeze from green policies, has fueled discontent.
For investors, this could be a pivotal moment to consider commodities such as cereals, soybeans, and copper. The disruptions in European agriculture may create fluctuations in the market, making these commodities potentially attractive for investment. However, it is crucial to monitor developments closely as tensions continue to grow, and the agricultural sector shapes up to be a major issue in the upcoming European Parliament elections in June.
