Gold hits new all time highs every day

Gold

  • Gold we wrote: The bulls are unstoppable & there is almost panic buying.  A break above 4151 can target 4166/4169, 4173/76 & 4181/84.

  • All targets were hit with a new all time high at 4186, almost exactly at the upper target.

  • Eventually we could reach as far as 4235/38.

  • Severely overbought conditions concern me but at this stage I cannot even think about a short position....however I would not be surprised to see a sudden downturn, such as we experienced last week, so keep your trading under control!

  • I wrote that yesterday and it still applies today.

  • Yesterday we collapsed to buying opportunity at 4105/4095 & longs needed stops below 4090.

  • The long worked perfectly as we caught the low of the day and shot higher from to  4090 to 4186.

  • As stated above the next target is 4235/38 & above here look for 4246/49.

  • Sharp pullbacks could still be expected at some point during the day in severely overbought conditions.

  • Support at 4120/4110 & longs need stops below 4095.

  • A break lower targets a buy opportunity at 4065/4055, with a good chance of a low for the day here but longs need stops below 4040.

  • Targets: 4100, 4150, 4180.

EUR/USD drops to daily lows near 1.1630

EUR/USD now loses some traction and slips back to the area of daily lows around 1.1630 on the back of a mild bounce in the US Dollar. Fresh US data, including the September PCE inflation numbers and the latest read on December consumer sentiment, didn’t really move the needle, so the pair is still on course to finish the week with a respectable gain.

GBP/USD trims gains, recedes toward 1.3320

GBP/USD is struggling to keep its daily advance, coming under fresh pressure and retreating to the 1.3320 zone following a mild bullish attempt in the Greenback. Even though US consumer sentiment surprised to the upside, the US Dollar isn’t getting much love, as traders are far more interested in what the Fed will say next week.

Gold makes a U-turn, back to $4,200

Gold is now losing the grip and receding to the key $4,200 region per troy ounce following some signs of life in the Greenback and a marked bounce in US Treasury yields across the board. The positive outlook for the precious metal, however, remains underpinned by steady bets for extra easing by the Fed.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP pare gains despite increasing hopes of upcoming Fed rate cut

Bitcoin is steadying above $91,000 at the time of writing on Friday. Ethereum remains above $3,100, reflecting positive sentiment ahead of the Federal Reserve's (Fed) monetary policy meeting on December 10.

Week ahead – Rate cut or market shock? The Fed decides

Fed rate cut widely expected; dot plot and overall meeting rhetoric also matter. Risk appetite is supported by Fed rate cut expectations; cryptos show signs of life. RBA, BoC and SNB also meet; chances of surprises are relatively low.

Ripple faces persistent bear risks, shrugging off ETF inflows

Ripple is extending its decline for the second consecutive day, trading at $2.06 at the time of writing on Friday. Sentiment surrounding the cross-border remittance token continues to lag despite steady inflows into XRP spot ETFs.
