USDJPY 

The Japanese yen has significantly benefited from current market volatility,
being one of the most prominent safe-haven assets.
The pair hit a new yearly low around 142 before witnessing a corrective upward movement toward 143.43.
The pair is expected to retest the key resistance-turned-support area around 144.
If a reversal pattern appears at this level, a decline toward 142 and then 139.50 may follow.
However, if 144 is breached, the upward correction may extend toward 146.

 

U.S. Dollar Index

The U.S. dollar remains negatively impacted by ongoing market volatility
and the continued imposition of tariffs between the U.S. and China.
The dollar index has dropped to levels not seen since July 2023,
especially amid expectations of increased rate cuts throughout the year.
This increases the likelihood of continued downward movement toward the 97.5 level,
where some corrective upward movement may begin.

 

 

 

 

EURUSD 

The EURUSD pair is trading around 1.1358 as the U.S. dollar weakens due to tariffs and declining inflation,
raising expectations of further rate cuts.
Technically, the pair has reached levels not seen since 2022.
If it breaks through 1.1489, the bullish trend may continue toward 1.1686.
However, if signs of weakness emerge around 1.1489, a new bearish correction wave may begin.

 

EURAUD

The EURAUD pair is trading around 1.8051 after undergoing a bearish
correction at the end of last week, driven by euro weakness.
This supports the continuation of the downtrend toward key support levels around 1.7700,
from which the pair might resume its upward movement.

 

NVIDIA 

NVIDIA stock recovered some of its recent losses,
benefiting from Trump’s decision to exempt certain tech goods from tariffs.
The stock reached around $110, expecting continued upward movement in the coming days,
targeting resistance levels around $113 and then $120.

Oil

Oil returned to bearish trading last week after Donald Trump’s comments regarding increased U.S. oil production,
which heavily pressured oil prices, especially with the ongoing yen crisis.
Oil traded at around $74.5; if it breaks the $73 level, bearish momentum may continue,
targeting the following support levels near $70.
However, if a reversal price action emerges near the current sub-demand levels,
the oil may see a new rise toward $77 per barrel.

 

Gold

Gold is trading near its historical highs after increasing market risks last week,
Donald Trump’s continuous remarks drive investors to turn to gold as a haven.
Gold closed last week at $2,770, retreating from $2,785,
which might lead to a slight bearish correction to retest the support
levels around $2,760 before rising again towards the historical peak at $2,790,
potentially setting new record highs in the coming weeks.

 

 

 

 

USDJPY

The USDJPY pair stabilized around 155.95 after the Bank of Japan raised interest rates by 25 basis points last week,
strengthening the yen against a basket of currencies.
Provided it remains below the 156.67 level, the pair is expected to target 153.40 in the upcoming period.

 

Nasdaq

Optimism persists in U.S. stock markets following Donald Trump’s presidency.
The Nasdaq achieved notable gains last week before experiencing bearish trades during Friday’s session.
The Nasdaq is expected to continue its upward momentum,
targeting the historical peak at 22,149, after which a new bearish corrective wave may occur.

 

EURUSD

The EURUSD pair is trading around 1.0491 after witnessing gains last week due to a weaker dollar and euro recovery.
The pair will likely continue its upward momentum toward resistance levels at 1.0536.
If it breaks this level, the bullish trend may extend to 1.0629.
However, if reversal price action appears around 1.0536,
the pair might return to bearish trades, targeting 1.0433.

Gold

Gold continues its upward solid movement, reaching a new historical high by the end of last week around the 2721 level,
after breaking the previous peak at 2685.

expected to be around 2770, especially after absorbing the recent corrective downward wave.
At the beginning of the week,
gold may see a corrective wave to retest
the role reversal level around 2685 before continuing its upward momentum.

 

Oil

Oil is trading around the 68.78 level after a significant drop at the end of last week’s trading,
influenced by poor data from the Chinese economy, signaling an escalation of China’s economic crisis.
This has negatively impacted oil prices,
with expectations that
oil may continue its downward movement toward the demand levels extending around 66.30,
after which we may witness a new upward wave for oil.

 

EURUSD

The EURUSD pair saw strong downward movement last week, closing around the 1.0865 level.
The pair experienced some upward correction toward the end of the week,
but overall, the dollar’s strength continues to dominate the pair’s trading.

However, if the pair breaks and closes above the 1.0883 level, it could continue to rise toward 1.0949.

US Dollar Index

Despite the U.S. Federal Reserve approaching its second interest rate cut in its
upcoming November meeting, the
U.S. Dollar Index continues to rise.
The weakness of other currencies drives these increases as major central banks continue to cut rates,
supporting the dollar’s gains. The
U.S. Dollar Index reached 103.46
and is expected to continue rising, targeting 104.75 in the coming period.
