In Tuesday's session, the XAU/USD surged to $2,035, reaffirming its bullish scenario in the daily chart. Despite central banks evading sooner rate cuts, bulls still show dominance favored by lower US Treasury yields, often seen as the cost of holding non-yielding metals. On the hourly outlook seems under strain as investors consolidate gains, leading to a loss in momentum as indicated by weakened technical indicators.

Looking at the signals on the daily chart, the bull's strength prevails. This bullish sentiment is supported by the positive upslope of the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the increasing green histogram bars of the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), both suggesting a strong buying momentum. Besides, the price is trading above its 20, 100, 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMAs), underlining the dominance of buyers in the longer-term trend. In addition, as long as the buyers manage to hold above the 20-day average, the outlook will still be positive for the short-term.

Shifting focus to the hourly chart, the momentum seems to show some exhaustion as investors start to consolidate their gains.This indicates that in case no fundamental stimulus arises, the price may continue trading flat ahead of Wednesday's Asian session.

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 remains vulnerable below $4,200 on Fed hike bets

Gold is under mild selling pressure on Monday, trading at around $4,170. The US Dollar advances modestly in thin trading, supported by bets that the Federal Reserve will hike rates at least one more time before year-end.

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

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?
