Market Sentiment Shifts: Fear & Greed, Liquidity & Next Cycle🌍 A truly global look at the market!
😱 The Fear & Greed Index has been sitting at 29 for the second day in a row, after recovering from 22–23 — even though the market has been trying to bounce for two days
That means all euphoria is dead — no more 10–15 random spikes a day.
📉 Short-term — not great.
📈 Long-term — that’s actually good.
⚠️ The index trying “get the bottom,” but historically major trend reversals happened around 10–15 points — keep that in mind.
💰 Meanwhile, index USDT.D looks ready for another big downward wave, which usually means stablecoins start flowing back into crypto 🐸
(Which ones? That’s the mystery for all, will see soon 😉)
🪙 A short bullish phase might last until spring 2026, or, if the cycle stretches, even until late 2026 – early 2027 😉
⁉️ But here’s the key question — where will the new money come from?
Because liquidating traders for $30–50B and then handing out “cashbacks” of $400–500M… that’s laughable 🐔
And expecting a March 2020-style buyback again? Unrealistic.
👉 Back then, people were locked at home, got freshly printed $, and instantly sent them to exchanges 💵
That was a real injection of fresh blood into the market — hundreds of billions.
Now? Nothing like that… or not yet 😉
🤔 What do you think — will a new wave of liquidity appear soon, or does the market still need more pain before the next leg up?

GOLD volatility, monetary policy and political riskThe global OANDA:XAUUSD went through a volatile trading session on Tuesday, as prices fell more than $50 in the North American session before recovering around $30, ending the day in the green. As of Wednesday morning, November 12, spot gold stood at around $4,128/ounce, up around $2 on the day.
The main drivers of this development came from two opposing factors: the prospect of the Federal Reserve (Fed) possibly cutting interest rates in December, and capital withdrawals from gold ETFs after a long rally.
Policy pressures and labor market signals
U.S. private payrolls data, according to preliminary estimates from ADP Research, showed a weekly average of 11,250 job cuts in the four weeks ended October 25. The weaker-than-expected figure sent the dollar to a low of 99.29, giving gold a chance to rebound.
The move comes just as Washington is about to end its longest government shutdown in history, which has stalled the release of economic data. Investors are hoping the reopening of the government will quickly bring a wave of pent-up data that will help better determine the true state of the U.S. economy.
“As the government reopens, we’re going to start seeing more cracks in the economy,” said Marc Chandler, chief strategist at Bannockburn Global Forex. This expectation reinforces the belief that the Fed will begin its easing cycle in December. According to the CME FedWatch tool, the probability of a rate cut has risen to 64%, while Fed Governor Milan hinted at the possibility of a 50 basis point cut due to a weak labor market and slowing inflation.
ETF Profit Taking, Gold Temporarily Adjusts
However, gold’s rally was capped by profit-taking in the ETF market. Bloomberg data shows gold ETFs have seen four straight weeks of outflows, after eight weeks of net buying. “Every 1% move in the gold price translates into about 10 tonnes of ETF outflows,” said Michael Haigh, head of FIC research at Société Générale.
The reversal reflects investors’ defensive sentiment after gold peaked at $4,380 an ounce in mid-October, a new record high amid political uncertainty and expectations of lower interest rates. Still, safe-haven demand was strong enough to help prices recover to $4,126.77 by the end of Tuesday’s session, up 0.3%.
US Politics: A lull ahead of data
The US Senate has passed a deal to reopen the government, while the Republican-controlled House is expected to approve it this week, before it goes to the White House for President Trump to sign into law. The reopening of the government not only ends the government shutdown but also sets the stage for a new cycle of data releases, including official jobs and inflation reports.
Medium-term outlook: Gold demand remains strong
Despite short-term volatility, fundamentals remain supportive of gold. The precious metal has risen more than 55% year-to-date, on track for its biggest gain since 1979. “The medium-term support from global easing to central bank demand remains intact,” said Christopher Wong, a strategist at OCBC.
Summary
The gold market is operating in a cycle of monetary policy expectations and geopolitical safe-haven sentiment. As the Fed moves closer to easing and delayed data looms, price volatility is likely to remain high.
However, with sustained central bank buying and global risks remaining intact, gold remains a strategic asset in a reshaping global financial landscape.
Technical analysis OANDA:XAUUSD
Gold prices are maintaining a short-term uptrend channel formed from the October bottom. After a deep correction around $3,970 – $3,850/ounce (corresponding to the Fibonacci levels of 0.382 and 0.5), the price has bounced back and is currently trading around $4,123, close to the technical resistance zone of Fib 0.236 at $4,128.
The moving average (MA21) is currently at $4,055, acting as a dynamic support zone in the short term. The recent candlestick structure shows that the bullish momentum is being consolidated with a series of higher lows, while the RSI has recovered towards 55, confirming that the bullish momentum is regaining the upper hand.
If gold holds above the $4,055 zone, the next upside targets are:
• Near resistance: $4,216 – $4,220 (psychological level and 0.236 Fibonacci resistance zone).
• Extended resistance: $4,308 – $4,380 (historic old peak zone).
On the contrary, if the price loses $4,055, the $3,972 – $3,846 zone will become the main support zone to watch, corresponding to the lower boundary of the current uptrend channel.
The overall trend remains bullish, provided the $4,055 support zone holds. The current phase is a recovery accumulation phase, which could open up a further rally towards $4,300 if US economic data continues to be weak and the Fed reinforces easing expectations.

Gold 30 m – Gatekeeper Zone: Momentum or Pullback1. Fundamental Overview
Gold (XAU/USD) finds support amid safe-haven demand and expectations for a Federal Reserve rate cut, which eases the opportunity cost of holding gold.
The relaxing risk-sentiment (e.g., government funding issues, geopolitical risks) is adding to underlying buying pressure.
On the flip side: A stronger U.S. dollar and improved risk appetite may cap upside in the near term.
Fundamental bias summary: Neutral-to-bullish. The backdrop remains supportive, but momentum needs to catch up.
2. Technical Analysis (30 Minute Frame)
Price recently approached the USD 4,150-4,155 zone but showed signs of hesitation.
Key levels to watch:
Resistance zone: ~ USD 4,150-4,200. A clear break and close above here on 30m would signal momentum.
Support zone: ~ USD 4,050-4,000. A break below this region risks a pullback.
Technical indicators: The RSI remains above mid-line, suggesting room for upside—but momentum is not yet decisive.
Technical bias summary: Slight bullish tilt only if a breakout above ~4,150 occurs. Otherwise, risk of consolidation or pullback increases.
3. Trade Plan & Key Levels
📌 Bullish Scenario:
Entry: Go long if price closes on a 30-minute candle above ~USD 4,150 and retests it.
Stop-Loss: Around USD 4,000, below key support.
Targets:
TP1: ~USD 4,250
TP2: ~USD 4,350 (if breakout is strong)
📌 Bearish Scenario:
Entry: Consider short if price rejects the 4,150-4,200 zone and breaks below USD 4,050-4,000 on 30-min chart.
Stop-Loss: Around USD 4,170.
Targets:
TP1: ~USD 3,900
TP2: ~USD 3,800
📌 Wait Mode:
If price remains trapped between ~4,050 and ~4,150 without clear trigger → hold off and wait for clarity.
4. My View for Today
I am leaning conditional bullish: the fundamentals support gold, but the trigger will be a technical breakout above ~USD 4,150. If that happens, upside momentum could run toward ~4,250+ levels.
If no breakout, the more likely scenario is sideways action or a pullback toward ~USD 4,000-3,900. I will not chase until a clear 30-minute confirmation emerges.

After hitting resistance level going to target Gold is trading around 4080, showing a strong bullish momentum after bouncing from the support trend line. The price has broken above the previous resistance level, confirming an uptrend continuation. As long as it holds above the 4039 support zone, the bullish bias remains strong. The next potential target is 4153, where price may face some resistance before further upside movement.
Bullish breakout setupA bullish breakout setup for Gold Spot (XAU/USD) following a clean break above the descending trendline resistance. Price has surged through the prior supply zone, confirming strong buying momentum. The ideal buy area lies between 4,137 – 4,144, aligning with a retest of the broken trendline and structure zone, which could now act as support. A stop-loss below 4,120 protects against a false breakout or liquidity sweep into the previous order block (OB). The target is set at 4,200, which corresponds to a significant resistance and psychological round number. Volume spikes on the breakout support bullish continuation, suggesting buyers are in control. A pullback into the highlighted zone before resuming the upward move would offer the best risk-to-reward entry opportunity.

- market is a momentum junkie
- can't be bothered to think rationally at the highs or the lows
- here's a co where we can track literal revenues and i'd link to source but the last msg i tried to post (see comment in chart pre-3Q) that was spot on... is somehow shilling something? idk tradingview has moderation issues
- anyway
- 4Q is shaping up well
- USDC is almost 25% of all stables volumes (usdt is >50%)
- regulation clarity
- valuation is something i'd look to dive in on
- but i'm buying spot here and selling dec 19 $90c's for $10 and change for massive IV while i figure it out
- but objectively $20B for this company in this environment is cheap
- lmk what you see or if i'm missing the boat

Gold Price Rebound Setup After Trendline Break – Bullish TargetsGold has pulled back sharply after breaking below the ascending trendline, but price is now stabilizing near the 4100 zone. Chart highlights two key bullish reaction levels around 4120 and 4158, where buyers may re-enter. A clean push above 4120 could open the path toward the upper resistance near 4158, signaling continuation of the broader uptrend.
✅ Trend Break but Recovery Attempt
Price broke below the rising trendline, showing short-term weakness. However, buyers quickly reacted, pushing price back above the 4100 level.
✅ Key Levels to Watch
Immediate resistance: 4120
Next bullish target: 4158–4160 zone
✅ Bullish Scenario
If gold holds above 4100–4105, price can retest 4120.
A breakout above 4120 should trigger momentum toward 4158–4160.
✅ Bearish Risk
A drop back below 4100 invalidates the bullish setup and may push price toward 4060.
USD/ZAR - Is it possible we could see R16.20 again?Finally an analysis, I am hoping to work out with the ZAR.
We are expecting further downside for the USD against the ZAR
M Formation
Price <20 and 200MA
Target R16.20
Is it possible?
Here are some fundamental factors.
💵 Weaker US dollar thanks to soft US labor data → Poor non-farm payroll & jobs figures in the US make rate cut odds rise, hurting the USD.
⚒️ Commodity boost → Gold & other metals are up, and since SA is a big miner/exporter, that means more USD flowing into SA economy, strengthening the rand.
📉 Fed maybe easing → Market expects US rate cuts sooner; that makes USD less attractive vs emerging-market currencies like ZAR.
📊 Good domestic signals → Business confidence, retail sales and some economic activity in SA have been decent, helping investor sentiment for the rand.

USD/JPY - The Cup that is about to Overflow to 167.76USD/JPY Analysis – The Cup That’s About to Overflow ☕💥
The Cup and Handle pattern has completed with precision, and price is now breaking out above key resistance — confirming the start of a new bullish wave.
Trading above both the 20-day and 200-day moving averages, the pair has officially flipped the long-term downtrend into an uptrend. The next stop? A clean run toward the 167.76 target.
Fundamental forces fueling the move:
💵 Strong U.S. dollar: Robust economic data and persistent inflation keeping the Fed hawkish.
💴 Yen weakness continues: BoJ remains ultra-dovish, maintaining negative interest rates.
📊 Yield differential advantage: U.S. Treasuries offering higher returns attract global capital.
🌏 Risk-on sentiment: Investors favoring higher-yield currencies as global growth steadies.

UK showing strong upside once breaks above C&H to 9,772
A very large Cup and Handle has formed on UK100.
There are many reasons for the upside to come but here are a few ones I can think of.
📉 2. Undervalued vs. Other Indices
FTSE 100 has lagged behind the US and EU — now global investors are eyeing it as a catch-up play.
💷 3. Weak Pound Helps Export Giants
A softer GBP = stronger revenue for big FTSE names like Shell, BP, Unilever, etc., which dominate global markets.
🏦 4. Rate Cut Hopes Are Back
With UK inflation cooling, the Bank of England might ease up — which is fuel for stocks, especially banks and housing.
📈 5. Rotational Flows Into Value
Traders are rotating out of overbought tech and into solid dividend/value plays — and the FTSE is packed with them.
And this is looking great for upside.
We can expect upside to come ONCE the price breaks above the brim level.

NEW Switzerland 20 – The Quasimodo Awakens with a BULL Meet the Quasimodo shape – yes, the same name as the hunchback from Notre Dame 😅
But in trading, it’s no fairy tale… it’s a powerful reversal pattern.
We’ve got price above both the 20MA and 200MA, and it’s now broken cleanly above the neckline — confirming the pattern.
That breakout signals a potential rally toward 14,126, as the “hunchback” finally straightens his spine and marches higher! 📈
So, if you ever see this uneven, bumpy structure on a chart, don’t laugh at it — respect it.
It might just ring the church bells for your next winning trade 🔔😄
I actually came up with Quasimodo probably about 15 years ago and still rarely see it come up.
💡 Fundamentals Backing the Upside
🏦 Swiss Stability:
Investors are rotating back into quality as markets calm — and Switzerland is the definition of safe and steady.
💶 Eurozone Weakness:
Capital is flowing toward stronger economies like Switzerland’s.
📉 Inflation Under Control:
Low inflation gives room for growth without central bank panic.
💎 Technical Confidence:
Trend structure, breakout, and clean momentum alignment – it’s a classic “chart trader’s dream.”

A massive shockwave crashes against the golden roller coaster.Gold Price Analysis: Yesterday, gold rose but encountered resistance around 4150, then fell back to around 4100 before rebounding and entering a period of consolidation. As of this morning's trading, it failed to break new highs. The first wave of the upward trend since the short-term bottom at 3886 has stalled. 4160 is the starting point of the second wave of the decline after the previous drop from 4380. Short-term pressure and pullback correction are normal. The overall upward trend remains unchanged. The rise from 3886 to around 4150 represents an increase of approximately $265, and the pullback correction is entirely a normal technical adjustment. However, after encountering resistance around 4150, the upward movement will be delayed. After Monday's surge, many people thought that a rally of over $100 in a single day was coming again. But now, the market is generally in a large range of high-level fluctuations, and it's impossible for it to rise by $100 every day. However, the overall daily uptrend remains unchanged. After a short-term correction, a second wave of upward movement will begin. But there is one thing to be aware of: this wave is a rebound correction after the drop from 4380. If it takes too long to break through and fails to rise further, we should be wary of a weakening momentum and subsequent decline. So, if the market fails to break through the resistance of 4150-4160 after this period of consolidation, the bulls should be cautious.
Gold Technical Analysis: After the morning's pullback, the MACD lines turned downwards again, continuing the death cross signal. Gold prices also showed a structure of lower highs, currently under pressure at the $4145 level. However, since the fast and slow lines are still running above the zero axis, if gold prices cannot fall further and cause the fast and slow lines to cross the zero axis, the bulls may launch another counterattack. The failure to break yesterday's high in the morning indicates that the bullish trend has slowed down. However, the failure to break yesterday's low of $4097 during the Asian session suggests that the bears are not strong either. The battle between bulls and bears is intense, and gold prices have entered a new adjustment period. Therefore, today's strategy remains to sell high and buy low. In the second half of the week, gold will continue to focus on testing the support level below. Currently, the moving averages show signs of crossing upwards, increasing the possibility of gold extending its rebound. However, the short-term upward movement was too sudden and the magnitude of the movement was too large, which brings great difficulty and risk to the operation. Therefore, even if the short-term outlook turns bullish, in actual operation, it is still necessary to wait for a pullback before considering going long. Do not blindly follow the bullish trend without considering the price level. In summary, today's gold trading strategy is to mainly buy on dips and sell on rallies as a secondary approach. The key resistance level to watch in the short term is 4145-4160, and the key support level to watch in the short term is 4110-4095. Friends, please keep up with the rhythm.

Daily SPY (US500) Outlook - Prediction (12 NOV)Daily SPY (US500) Outlook - Prediction (12 NOV)
📊 Market Sentiment
The market continues to lean bullish following the potential resolution of the U.S. government shutdown, along with the proposed $2,000 incentives for U.S. citizens. These developments could drive stronger inflows into equities and sustain short-term positive sentiment.
📈 Technical Analysis
Price moved higher overnight, likely targeting the 686 level, supported by strong momentum carried over from the Dow Jones (US30).
📌 Game Plan
In my opinion, I will look to buy if the price retraces to the 683.5–682 zone for a potential continuation move toward 686.
However, if we see a strong breakout below 682 and a 4H candle close beneath that level, I plan to exit my position. Another possible bounce could occur around 681, but confirmation would be required before entering such a trade.
