Forex trading WTI at 50% Fibonacci level – Gold at record highs [Video]

We all witnessed the big fall in the indices based on tariff threats and then confusion over the new Chinese AI sensation — Deepseek.

Thanks to the resilience of investors who bought the dip, the stock markets are recovering nicely.

With the S&P500, for example, almost filling the price action gap.

Tomorrow, the White House is planning to implement 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada.

If so, this may cause turmoil with the currency and stock markets so expect the unexpected when you start trading on Monday.

We have been following our short trade on WTI Crude Oil and the pullback to the upside has broken through the upper trend line.

There is an OPEC meeting scheduled for Monday so we could see some movement.

If OPEC decides to increase or maintain the same level of production, we could see the bear run continuing.

The Stochastic oscillator is overbought but we need to keep an eye on our technicals and the news.

Also, on the daily chart, we see price action bouncing up from the 50% Fibonacci level.

Gold is now at record highs, probably as a safe haven while we ride out the US Tariff stupidity.

Purchases by central banks taking cover has price action beating last November’s highs.

Warsh needs to restore his reputation
We were glad to see our deeply negative reaction to the Warsh press conference was not some personal peculiarity. Just about everybody in the financial press felt the same way. The consensus is building it’s not the Fed in the dog-house but only Warsh. Today the WSJ changed it tune and blasted Warsh—"the honeymoon is already over..”
9-3: Is the Federal Reserve’s vote tally Warsh's new forward guidance?
The rate did not move. Neither did the statement, and that’s the more interesting fact. Set the July 29 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement beside the one issued on June 17, and the two documents are identical apart from a single verb and a paragraph at the bottom naming three dissenters.
