How to trade the world economic forum, NASDAQ and S&P 500 recovering? [Video]

Two of the biggest market movers, for every instrument we trade, will be coming up tomorrow.

Let’s take a look!

In today’s Market Outlook, let’s take a look at Forex trading on the WTI and Brent Crude Oil, the NASDAQ, Gold, XAUUSD, Silver, XAGUSD, and AUDUSD.

We were looking at AUDUSD last time, and I warned you to watch for a new trend line after the latest Australian CPI figures.

We are still buying the dip and relying on our indicators to find entry and exit points.

This USD strength is indicative of all USD pairs right now, so check your charts.

If we move out to the AUDUSD daily chart, we see that we are at a key level of resistance, so be careful here.

Also, the markets are waiting for 2 major economic events tomorrow.

If you are new to trading or you may be a bit shy of fundamental analysis, you may be wondering, “What is Davos? What is Jackson Hole?”

Well, these are huge events and market movers, and everyone is paying attention.

The World Economic Forum in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, starts today, and most global financial leaders will be making speeches, doing interviews, and issuing statements.

These will almost always drive currency markets, gold, silver, and indices like the S&P500.

The main event will be tomorrow's speech by Kevin Warsh, the new Fed chair.

To trade these big moves, check out our recent video about the News Catalyst Fade, where we can trade WITH the trend, AFTER the news breaks.

Also, you may have never seen this on an economic calendar: the Prelim Benchmark Payrolls Revision happens once a year as the US Bureau of Labour Statistics revises its figures.

Last year, the revision was a whopping 900,000 jobs so expect volatility.

This USD strength is showing up in gold as we see a reversal to the downside but, again, watch out for the news events.

In silver, we see a similar situation but not as aggressive.

We also see a recovery in the NASDAQ and S&P 500, but watch the news.

Crude has fallen based on better news out of Iran, but, as we know, that could change at any moment.

That’s all for now.

CFDs and FX are leveraged products, and your capital may be at risk.

AUD/USD remains below 0.7000 amid light trading

AUD/USD fills a modest bearish gap on Monday, but remains below 0.7000 in the Asian session amid holiday-thinned liquidity. The US Dollar attempts a bounce even as US bond yields pull back from multi-year highs, limiting the pair. Moreover, diminishing odds of another RBA rate hike in November cap the Aussie.

USD/JPY hovers above 158.00 amid Japan/ US holiday

USD/JPY extends its range-bound price action into a new week, trading above 158.00 as bulls remain on high alert amid speculation that authorities will step in to prop up the Japanese Yen. Meanwhile, softer US bond yields keep US Dollar bulls on the back foot and cap the pair's upside. However, geopolitical uncertainties could limit losses for the safe-haven buck amid thin liquidity due to a holiday in Japan and the US.

Gold sticks to modest losses; seems vulnerable below $4,200 on Fed hike bets

Gold extends its intraday retracement slide from a one-week high, hitting a fresh daily low around $4,170 during the early European session. The US Dollar attracts fresh buyers after a modest downtick amid the US Federal Reserve's hawkish outlook, which, in turn, is seen as weighing on the non-yielding bullion.

Bitcoin struggles as ETF outflows, geopolitical uncertainty weigh

Bitcoin hovers around $83,600 on Monday after a 3.1% correction last week. US-listed spot ETFs recorded an outflow of $681.10 million last week, snapping the three-week inflow streak. Geopolitical uncertainty and mixed signals keep investors cautious.

The week ahead: A critical week as earnings and CPI test market

The Oil price is relatively stable this morning, and US and European stock markets are poised to open higher, as risk sentiment shrugs off an escalation in the Middle East and concerns about rising bond yields.

Has Bitcoin really escaped the macro forces it was built to fight?

Over 17 years ago, Satoshi Nakamoto designed Bitcoin (BTC) on the back of a global financial crisis as an alternative to the global monetary system outside the control of central banks, governments and traditional intermediaries. This raises a key question: has Bitcoin really become independent of the macroeconomic forces it was built to challenge?
