Forex trading short Gold and Silver – WTI Crude Oil in symmetrical pennant [Video]

Brad Alexander FX Large Limited

On Monday we spotted short opportunities on Gold and Silver.

The short opportunities on Gold and Silver happened but it didn’t last too long.

But we may have another chance after this rally which followed double bottoms.

Price action is starting to reverse already with the stochastic oscillators both overbought and turning below 80.

However, wait for confirmation like a further fall and/or a bearish engulfing candlestick pattern before you pull the trigger.

If you are a conservative trader, you might want top wait for confirmation on the daily charts.

Here we have a bullish bias on gold but a bearish bias on silver with the stochastic oscillators heading for overbought.

Also, don’t forget about the US Non-Farm Payrolls tomorrow which could send any pair in the right or wrong direction.

Also, today the market is expecting a lowering of Interest Rates from London.

GBP is already falling so watch for volatility and opportunities

We have been following this symmetrical pennant on WTI for some time now and price action fell and rebounded off the lower trend line with incredible precision.

Many of the European indices opened this mooring with a gap to the downside.

Looking at price action this month, it might be a bit risk for gap trading right now.

EUR/USD appears supported by the 200-day SMA, for now

Following an early pullback to multi-week lows near 1.1670, EUR/USD now manages to reclaim the 1.1700 region as the NA session draws to a close on Monday. The steep retracement in spot follows the equally strong move higher in the US Dollar, as investors continue to assess the geopolitical landscape in the wake of the US and Israel attacks on Iran.

GBP/USD hits new yearly lows near 1.3300

GBP/USD adds to the recent bearish tone, approaching to the key 1.3300 support to reach fresh YTD troughs against the backdrop of the robust performance of the US Dollar. Indeed, Cable’s decline comes amid the firm demand for the safe-haven space in the wake of the US and Israel attacks to Iran.

Gold eases some ground, approaches $5,300

Gold now surrenders part of the earlier advance, reshifting its attenton to the $5,300 zone per troy ounce at the beginning of the week. Indeed, the yellow metal’s firm performance appears propped up by incresing geopolitical jitters in the Middle East, which at the same time fuels the demand for the safe-haven space.
