XAUUSD – Daily Chart
Those who stated that Gold was to enter a new range of consolidation seem to be right (so far). After trading within $1512 and $1474 for the last 4-5 months, the last 10 days has seen Gold start to consolidate between $1451 – $1474. After attempting to break back into the $1470s and above, The better than expected outlook from the FOMC sent this metal back to its current floor.With volumes severely still oversold, could negative fundamental data we forecasted above, cause a breakout here?
GBPUSD – Daily Chart
After the huge jump in early October where it seems that there were possibilities for a Brexit deal, the news that followed saw cable enter a streak of consolidation. This $1.30 – $1.28 range has been held for the past 3 weeks, and this weeks FOMC run led to us finding us back at the floor. USD gaining in strength, ironically also weakening recent all-time highs in index markets like the SP500. Although the momentum of moving averages do show us a sideways trend, the prospect of an eventual downward cross still exist. With the RSI now at the halfway point of 50, sellers may be waiting on the other side within 48-46 before they really start selling.
Crude Oil – Daily Chart
Those of you who read last weeks newsletter would likely believe you are looking at the exact same chart as last week. This is because the uncertainty in Crude has only grown in the past few days. The start of the week saw further details on the Aramco deal revealed, as a result we saw selloffs ath the $58 resistance level, where the bears have recently dominated. However when US crude inventories showed a lower than expected stockpile of liquid gold, we saw prices rise as a response. Briefly breaking out on Friday, can next week hopefully provide further rises?
