    Overview of Gold: $1,300 Break Remains Indefinable Despites the Weak tone in US Dollar

    XAU traded a bit lower against USD and closed at 1288.78.

    · Gold picked up a bid on Monday, tracking the weak spot in the US dollar, but the bull momentum ran out of steam at $1,295.
    · The dollar index (DXY) fell to 2.5-month lows below the 100-day MA.
    · The yellow metal is still struggling to break past $1,300.
    · $1,276 is the level to beat for the bears.

    According to the Analysis, The XAU/USD.X pair is expected to find support at 1282.62, and a fall through could take it to the next support level of 1276.47. The pair is expected to find its first resistance at 1294.99, and a rise through could take it to the next resistance level of 1301.21. Previous Day range was 12.37 and Current Day Range is 7.69.

    The yellow metal failed to cross the psychological barrier of $1,300 on Friday and carved out a bearish-lower high of $1,288 yesterday, despite the drop in the US dollar - gold's biggest retribution.

    Notably, the dollar index found acceptance below the 100-day moving average (MA) yesterday and fell to 95.64 - a level last seen on Oct. 22.

    The greenback is indeed on the defensive, having closed below the 100-day MA for the first time since Sept. 27 amid dovish Fed expectations.

    The yellow metal is still struggling to pick up a strong bid. As of writing, it is reporting moderate losses at $1,286 per Oz. Gold's inability to capitalize on DXY's break below the 100-day MA likely indicates the bulls are facing exhaustion.

    Overview of Crude Oil: WTI Continues to Climb on Trade Hopes

    US Oil – also known as West Texas Intermediate (WTI) and Texas Sweet Light – is another type of ‘sweet light’ crude oil, that has a lower sulphur content and density than UK Oil. It is drilled in North America, primarily in Texas, Louisiana and North Dakota, and sent via pipeline to Cushing, Oklahoma for price settlement. As this is a landlocked area, most WTI oil is consumed in the US, making this the primary benchmark for the US market.

    According to the analysis, USOil.x pair is expected to find support at 48.95, and a fall through could take it to the next support level of 47.89. The pair is expected to find its first resistance at 50.60, and a rise through could take it to the next resistance level of 51.89.


    USOil.x previous day range was 16500 and current day range is 9000.


    · US-China trade talks continue, and markets continue to bid up on hopes of progress.

    · Commodities are catching a relief run on hopes of improving trade, after a tense ending to 2018.


    Crude energies markets are continuing to spin higher as investors hope for peaceful trade talks to resolve between the US and China, which are at present underway at the vice-ministerial level, extending into a third day of talks with traders awaiting announcements following the trade meetings. Trade tensions between the US and China have spun out broader market sentiment in recent months, and investors are looking for any signs of a recovery in global trade in order to offset the increasing signs of economic slowdown across the planet for 2019.

    The Energy Information Administration's (EIA) Crude Oil Stocks Change Indicator is published weekly. It measures the number of barrels of commercial crude oil held by US companies. It is one of the indicators affecting world oil prices.

    Growing crude oil stocks indicate a weaker demand for oil and can have a negative impact on the oil barrel price.

The indicator is calculated as a change in the reported month compared to the previous one. The calculation accounts for taxes on goods and services, however it is not adjusted for inflation.

    Technical Overview of Bitcoin by XtreamForex

    Bitcoin breaks key levels again after breaching $4k.
    Long term bottom is not in place yet.

    Bitcoin, the king of Cryptocurrencies, has broken down of some key levels after breaking below $4,000 and is now at the risk of breaching $3,000 too as long term bottom is not yet in place for the largest crypto.
    BTC/USD trading flat on day at $3,633 and in less than one percent range for the day - typical low volume and even lower volatility weekend trading that is. Earlier this week, Bitcoin and all the other major coins saw massive sell-off all over again, resulting in BTC breaking $4,000 again and as a result also broke some key levels on the short term (180-minute) as well as long term (daily) chart.
