So, while the technicals pointed to further upside, from a tactical perceptive, we could see headwinds to risky assets. What transpired was that various Fed members, even well-known doves such as...

FUNDAMENTAL OUTLOOK: BULLISH
BASELINE
With headline inflation >9%, the Fed has been pressured to tighten policy aggressively, hiking rates by 75bsp at their July meeting, and continuing with Quantitative Tightening. However, as a result of increasing fears of a growth slowdown (as evidenced by recent econ data), the Fed confirmed a more data-dependent...

A possible shorting opportunity on Gold down towards our buying zone. On the smaller timeframe, Gold has completed a 5 wave move, so I am now expecting a pullback down towards 1746 in order for market to fill the imbalance.

Outlook on US500 remains bullish while price remains above 3910. Aiming to fill daily imbalance before potential shift in sentiment. Targets annotated in chart. Monitoring intraday price action for potential trades with bias to the long side.

Hey everyone! here is the updated analysis for the DXY. If you like my chart analysis consider hitting the 🚀 and leaving a comment.
DISCLAIMER:- This is not financial advice.
DXY looks to be inside an expanding diagonal which could make it all the way to that top TL for the 5th leg up.
Or could hit the 618% maybe even overshoot a bit then roll over.
DXY is technically overbought and the market seems to agree. We had a several fair chances to break out above 108 in the past week, but it did not come to fruition. Technical dollar bearish headwinds SEEM to outweigh fundamental bullish dollar tailwinds for the moment. Lately, every time the 0.5 month (100 x 4 hours = 16 days) log-returns is positive and reaches...
On the daily chart we have 2 parallel channels that indicate 2 impulse Elliott Waves.
As per my Elliott Wave analysis, this huge impulse wave has been completed and now we should go sideways or down!
The first trendline is breaking out, and usually that means that other trendlines will break too.
The first target is at wave 4 + 0.382 FIB + parallel channel...
Well, hot job market, inflation peak? not... USD will remain strong till the last quarter of this year. Only will be dismiss if we see strong drop on job market.
