<p style=““ class=“text-align-justify“>Equities are barely holding on to the optimism from earlier, owing to Chinese markets bouncing back on re-opening hopes today. European indices are a bit more mixed now with US futures seen trimming gains, now only up 9 points, or 0.23%, on the day.</p><p style=““ class=“text-align-justify“>Bonds are bid though, benefiting from softer Spanish and German inflation readings so far on the session. 10-year German bund yields are down 9.4 bps to 1.898% while 10-year Treasury yields are down 3.6 bps to 3.666% currently.</p><p style=““ class=“text-align-justify“>All of this is translating to a softer dollar on the balance of things, with the greenback losing ground after an impressive showing in US trading yesterday. <a target=“_blank“ href=“https://www.forexlive.com/news/month-end-model-points-to-usd-downside-but-other-factors-favour-usd-bounce-td-20221128/“ target=“_blank“>Month-end talk seems to be suggesting that dollar selling is the play</a>, and that is also a factor for consideration before we move over to December on Thursday.</p><p style=““ class=“text-align-justify“>EUR/USD is up 0.3% to 1.0368 but perhaps more crucially, the pair is now trading back under its 200-day moving average (blue line) at 1.0377 after yesterday’s fall upon nearing 1.0500:</p><p style=““ class=“text-align-justify“>USD/JPY is down by 0.6% to near 138.00 as yields look heavier so far today. However, sellers will need to do more work in order to crack below daily support at around 138.45 as well as 137.65 currently:</p><p style=““ class=“text-align-justify“>Meanwhile, GBP/USD continues to hold in between its key daily moving averages but is now also finding itself caught in between its 100 and 200-hour moving averages in a state of flux so far this week:</p><p style=““ class=“text-align-justify“>Elsewhere, AUD/USD is keeping higher by 1.1% today to 0.6725 and holding back above its 100-day moving average (red line) at 0.6685. That is a positive development but buyers are still largely struggling to break through resistance from the 61.8 Fib retracement level at 0.6767 in the bigger picture.</p>

<p>Nasdaq futures technical analysis video (2 and half minutes):</p><p>I like to look for a ’story‘ that a chart tells me (in my opinion) and also follow charts in hindsight to learn where those stories developed, where there were hints on the way, etc. For example, if there was a failed breakout up, bulls are trapped, and will be disappointed, which hints on more down. Or if a key level was almost tested but market is still indecisive or weak, that it will probably be retested again.Markets love to poke around and test various key levels, usually more than once.One should be careful when doing the above on timeframes that are too low, but doing that on a daily timeframe is fine, usually (there is never an ‚always‘ in this game, you gotta live with the doubt and uncertainty embedded into everything we see and whatever we decide to do).Last but not least, PRICE is the MOST IMPORTANT part of the story and right now, Nasdaq futures is dancing around 11700 which is a key level for the battle between bulls and bears. Once the US market opens, traders would benefit in seeing how the 1 hour candles close in relation to that price.As of now, for me, it seems that if 11700 is not going to be protected, so no hourly candle closing abouve 11750, for that matter, then 11570 area is next and I show why that story unfolded in my mind, within the technical analysis video that take 2 and half minutes to watch.Trade the Nasdaq at your own risk.

However, as debt market rates ticked higher partly in reaction to a move higher in European rates so sent the greenback even higher. The German 10 year moved up about 12 basis points on the day.

The move off the low was able to extend back above the 200 day MA at 1.03877, and is looking to close above that key moving average, giving the pair a positive, bullish bias into the new trading week (on Monday). The price is trading at 1.1402. </p><p>For other pairs, the greenback moved a bit lower in the NY session, but held onto to most of the NY early gains.
