With little news events this week in the US, sentiment from last NFP and inflation data could carry over to this week. Volatility may be lower than the previous weeks, but we do have key earnings to watch out for. Will still be looking to have some spreads on the market if I find an opportunity.

Sentiment this week started off optimistic especially in the tech space as we look forward to earnings kick off. This week, however, there are a handful of financial earnings reports. Since we do not have any significant USD news coming up this week, all markets are likely to drift higher on any kind of solid earnings growth.

With a neutral reading on the EdgeFinder, gold still hovers between all time highs and the $2,600 level of support. With lower inflation data last week and possibly strong earnings growth this quarter, demand might shift away from gold and more into the stock market.
The metal still seems bullish in the long run due to more devaluing of the dollar, but this week might not result in much higher prices on gold. Especially if sentiment switches further from risk-off and tensions in the Middle East ease, a healthy pullback on gold seems probable.

Another factor that could keep indices higher is if oil prices decline, although the EdgeFinder readings suggest that oil is still bullish. Good economic readings for oil to continue climbing may push prices, but there are fears of an oversupply in the amount of barrels in inventories.
Oil also gained from Middle East tensions and risk-off scares. So if this does not become a major global issue, prices may come back down to test the lows in the $60s. Lower oil prices are very important to maintaining lower inflation that the Fed has been battling for 3 years now. So getting higher prices in oil could result in higher CPI data, causing inflation fears to come back again.

Retail is slowly getting away from shorting anything in the global markets. USDCAD and SPX are the only short positions on our list today. Meanwhile, gold, NIKKEI, DAX, UJ, GU remain mixed. The top bought assets are indices and other metals. USD is majority short in the crowd.

COT has something else to say about sentiment last week. Most indices except DOW are shorted by smart money. This could mean that the rally we are seeing today and the past few days last week are retail-led. Although higher stock prices seem probable in the last quarter of the year, we need to watch for euphoric trading in the short term which usually results in a pullback of some sort. Heavy buying of oil and treasuries is actually more of a risk-off move from institutions.

Retail sales is one big USD event this week, although it will likely not have a tremendous impact on price action. Earnings may overshadow this report, but it is still important to look at this data. Expectations are to be higher than last month's report on a month-over-month basis.

Gold is stuck in consolidation post geopolitical tensions and lower inflation data in the US. Although there is a strong bullish case for gold, there is a chance that price can eventually retrace down to the $2,600 and under towards the $2,550. The metal has been in a strong uptrend since June which has been respecting the relative levels of support and resistance between each trend line.

With little news this week and earnings optimism, the stock market may continue to drift higher even though yesterdayโs move was hardly a drift. Buying at all time highs is not advisable, but the market refuses to correct by any significant amount. This week is likely not going to be the week where prices pull back either. Trading the US indices should be done with caution since there is always more risk to the upside when prices are at all time highs.

EUR/USD is sitting at support and might have bottomed if this hammer candle holds by the end of the day. The EdgeFinder still has the pairโs score marked in the bearish camp after a resurgence of dollar demand on good economic data and inflation data. Expectations of softer rate cuts are higher due to lower CPI y/y and PPI and somewhat sticky Core CPI.

๐ฎ Master the Markets with the Business Forecast
The Business Forecast in EdgeFinder offers key economic projections for the next four quarters, helping traders analyze crucial data like interest rate and inflation forecasts.
How can it help you?
By focusing on a single metricโlike inflationโyou can compare forecasts across currencies (USD, EUR, JPY, GBP) to spot trends and make strategic decisions.
Example:
If inflation is forecasted to be higher in the USD compared to the EUR, this might signal that the U.S. Federal Reserve could raise interest rates to combat inflation. As a trader, you could anticipate USD strength relative to the EUR and adjust your trades accordinglyโsuch as buying USD or selling EUR/USD to capitalize on expected currency movements.
With the Business Forecast, you can stay ahead of market trends and trade with confidence. ๐๐

Bitcoin +9 on EdgeFinder
Regardless of a Trump or Harris victory, bitcoin looks like the highs could be reached in the last quarter of the year. Due to softer inflationary data from CPI and PPI, investors are likely going to put money into more speculative assets like the stock market and bitcoin which somewhat acts as a leveraged ETF of the S&P. Trump has also endorsed the crypto when he held a bitcoin conference in Nashville during the summer. The next level price could test could be around $70,000 if the rally continues from the breakout above the falling trend line on the 1D timeframe.
