Daily Trading Strategy (14/11/2023)
During the U.S. market on Monday (November 13), market sentiment was relatively positive, the U.S. dollar stabilized, and gold prices hovered at nearly three-week lows. The market is currently paying attention to U.S. inflation data. Last week, Fed Chairman Powell pushed back against market bets for an early interest rate cut, and investors will get clues on monetary policy from more data. Gold prices hovered near three-week lows on Monday as the dollar strengthened and investors awaited U.S. inflation data for more clues on whether the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates on hold or raise them. After plunging by more than $50 last week, spot gold fluctuated within a narrow range around $1,935, waiting for next clues.
The U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) will be released on Tuesday. A Reuters survey shows that core CPI is expected to rise 0.3% month-on-month and 4.1% year-on-year in October. Both forecast increases are unchanged from September. The dollar rose 0.1% against other currencies after hitting a one-week high in the previous session, making gold less attractive to holders of other currencies. The U.S. dollar index, which measures the greenback's value against other major currencies, was slightly stronger near 105.80, holding on to most of last week's gains. Markets also digested news late Friday that Moody's had lowered its U.S. credit rating outlook to "negative," while focus turned to Tuesday's U.S. consumer price index. Fed policymakers including Chairman Jerome Powell suggested last week that the fight against inflation may not be over yet, prompting markets to scale back bets on rate cuts that had pushed up short-term Treasury yields. rate and supported the dollar. In addition to geopolitical risk-driven safe-haven demand and central bank buying, the macroeconomic backdrop is turning to support gold. The analyst added: "The U.S. monetary tightening cycle is coming to an end and the U.S. dollar has peaked. This may lead to weaker U.S. 10-year Treasury bond yields and the U.S. dollar, which will support investment demand for gold." Over the Diwali weekend, gold in India Jewelers are seeing brisk sales, with recent price drops driving consumer interest.
Technical analysis of gold: From the daily line, the Bollinger Bands are closed. Gold fluctuated slightly after opening during the day. There is currently no effective breakthrough. After the morning low touched the 1933 line again, there was no intention to break through. On the contrary, it rose. , and the bulls in the European market have been * below 1940, then the probability of gold continuing to break higher in the evening is very high. The most likely thing is that there will be a small correction and then a rebound, and the key pressure above gold in the short term remains at 1945 The first line, this position is also the key defensive position in the evening, and the support below is first maintained at the 30 line, touching the support of the golden section point 0.382, which is the first retracement support in the daily upward trend. At the beginning of the week, pay attention to whether the support strength of 1932-1930 can be stabilized. Although the short-term chart is still slightly bearish, the daily line serves as a callback in the trend. If it can recover steadily at the first support, the daily line can still come out strong. Otherwise, further decline will change the upward structure of the daily line.
From the 4-hour chart, the Bollinger Bands opened downward, and the price of gold encountered resistance and fell after rebounding to the middle track. The trend fluctuated and was bearish. In the short term, focus on the two resistance positions above. One is the top-bottom transition position of 1956, which rebounded last week. The first line, the other position is the resistance of the middle track of the 4-hour Bollinger Bands, which is the 1965 first line. Although the current indicator of gold is seriously oversold, there is a need for a rebound to repair the indicator in the short term. However, once the market rebounds and repairs, it is expected to usher in a new round of decline. The current repair of 1932 and 1930 is the key support in the early stage and is also the middle track of the weekly Bollinger Bands. The support is as well as the 10-day and 20-day moving average support, so this point also determines whether the gold short position can continue further!
The 1-hour chart steps down. The previous high point is the critical point, and breaking the low point of 1945-1950 forms resistance. From the perspective of the small cycle structure, it will fall back in the short term, but the daily line has differentiated, and the daily line has touched the support area of the callback. Pay attention to whether it can start to stabilize and rebound today and tomorrow. If it does, it will continue to change and rise. On the whole, today's gold short-term operation thinking is He Bosheng's suggestion to mainly do longs on callbacks, supplemented by shorts on rebounds. The top short-term focus will be on the 1958-1963 first-line resistance, and the bottom short-term focus will be on the 1935-1930 first-line support.
