The One Trading Technique That No One Looks At But Will INSTANTLY Improve Your Trading

Gold rises and hits its record high around $4,505 during the Asian session on Wednesday. The precious metal gains momentum as the Israel-Iran conflict and the rising in US-Venezuela tensions boost the safe-haven demand. Furthermore, the recent soft US inflation and cool jobs reports have fueled market expectations for at least two 25-basis-point rate cuts from the US Federal Reserve next year. 

AUD/USD stepped into a second straight day of firm gains on Tuesday, climbing two-thirds of one percent and adding to the previous day’s 0.68% gain as the US Dollar falls across the board. The Australian Dollar is catching a fresh bullish bid as the Reserve Bank of Australia faces down future interest rate hikes in 2026, while the Federal Reserve is expected to get caught in a long-run rate-cutting cycle, depressing Greenback market flows.

The USD/JPY pair tumbles to around 156.30 during the early Asian session on Wednesday. The US Dollar weakens against the Japanese Yen despite the stronger-than-expected US Gross Domestic Product report for the third quarter. Financial markets are likely to trade in a subdued mood ahead of the Christmas holiday. 

The crypto market capitalisation fell by 1.4% to $2.97T, falling below the $3T mark once again. The market was unable to repeat the robust rebound from the local bottom, as it did after 23 November and 2 December, indicating increased pressure from sellers.

2026 may be less about a neat “base case” and more about a regime shift—the market can reprice what matters most (growth, inflation, fiscal, geopolitics, concentration). The biggest trap is false comfort: the same trades can look defensive… right up until they become crowded.

The US Dollar Index (DXY) struggles to find demand on Tuesday, even after strong United States Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Data. The DXY is now trading near the 98.00 price region after touching a three-month low in the Asian trading hours.
