Bitcoin touches $ 76,000 - next?Bitcoin (BTC) continues to capture investors’ attention as it maintains a stable upward trend. Currently trading around $76,226, BTC has seen a 1.96% increase in recent sessions. This growth is supported by positive technical indicators and a favorable market environment, leading many investors to believe Bitcoin could reach the $80,000 mark in the near term. But what are the key factors influencing BTC’s price, and what strategies are suitable in this current market context? News Impacting BTC's Price Growth in the U.S. Stock Market: Following Donald Trump’s recent election victory, the U.S. stock market has surged, fostering a positive investor sentiment. This optimistic outlook has spilled over into the crypto market, with Bitcoin benefiting from an influx of enthusiastic investments. Increased Institutional Interest: Large financial institutions are continuously pouring capital into Bitcoin, viewing it as a hedge against inflation and a diversification asset. These organizations see Bitcoin as part of their defensive strategy against inflation, reinforcing the cryptocurrency’s upward momentum. BTCUSD’s New Prospects BTCUSD's technical chart indicates promising growth potential, especially if the price sustains above key Fibonacci support levels. Investors should closely monitor the Support 1 zone and the $77,003 resistance level to seize opportunities when the trend is confirmed.

EURUSD has a strong selling pressure - clear signs of discountThe EUR/USD pair dropped to nearly 1,0780 in the context of the demand for US dollars increased again on Friday during Asian trading hours. In addition, the proposal to increase tax by Donald Trump put pressure on Euro compared to the US dollar. Ben personally predicts that, without unexpected breakthroughs, EURUSD will likely turn to an important support area of ​​1,0720 - 1,0740. In addition, technical indicators are not very satisfactory when the EMA 34 and EMA 89 are creating additional resistance right above the current price, increasing the pressure to decrease for Eurusd. With this situation, the market is more likely to have an EURUSD will have a deeper decline.

USDJPY rises sharply, supported by rising channel !USDJPY is showing significant upside momentum today, trading firmly within a well-defined bullish channel on the 4-hour chart and currently trading at 153.89. This bullish move reflects a stronger USD influence, fueled by recent events surrounding former President Donald Trump. Despite the steady push from technical factors, USDJPY may face resistance near 154.00. This area may act as a short-term hurdle, as the pair’s upside momentum may slow down once it reaches this level. A minor pullback within the channel is expected, which would help confirm the ongoing trend. This pullback could take USDJPY down to the support zone around 153.000, testing both the 34 and 89 EMAs for further strength. If the pullback is successful, USDJPY is expected to continue its upward trajectory, heading towards the upper boundary of the channel. The next important resistance zone lies above 156,000, which aligns with the top of the channel, representing a crucial level to watch for further gains.

XAUUSD: Buyers Dominate!Dear traders! Today, gold prices have made an impressive recovery, rising more than $48.4 to $2,708.8/ounce, marking a strong move with an increase of more than 1%. This recovery is reinforced by the weakness of the US dollar, along with the news that the Federal Reserve is expected to cut interest rates by 0.25% this Thursday. Although future interest rate cuts may face challenges if former President Trump returns, this trend opens up many positive opportunities for gold in the short term. As seen from the 1-hour chart, the uptrend is forming and is being consolidated after the correction. In addition, the current gold price is reacting at the support zone of the two EMAs (34 and 89), creating a notable area. Therefore, Victor personally appreciates that based on the current momentum, if the price breaks the short-term resistance level near $2,710, the possibility of gold prices continuing to increase to higher levels in the coming time is high. At the time of writing, the realization phase is forming, Victor is waiting for confirmation with the aim of strengthening further.

11/04 Weekly SPX Market Analysis with seamless GEX levelsThe U.S. presidential election is on November 5, and this week we can expect increased volatility due to the uncertainty. For options traders, one thing is certain: volatility will likely rise leading up to the election, peak around the results, and then gradually subside as the “fireworks” end. It’s essential to consider this in every trading decision. While the current Implied Volatility (IVx) isn’t extremely high, the IV Rank (IVR) is quite strong at 41, and this is likely to remain due to the increasing uncertainty. Based on the blue OTM (Out of The Money) delta curves, the market is currently pricing in a strong downward movement for the week, aligning with the negative gamma zone and negative gamma profile. For a bullish shift, we would need a strong push above 5845 to enter positive gamma territory (HVL level is the battleneck). ⏩ The 5700 level is a key PUT support across multiple timeframes. If this level breaks, turbulence is expected, with increased downward movement likely to follow, first to 5650 and potentially down to 5600, where larger PUT gamma walls are located. ⏩ According to the 16-delta OTM curve, a close above the previous all-time high is less likely. If there’s a strong breakout to the upside, the positive gamma threshold stands at 5850, and above this, buyer pressure could extend up to 5925. ⏩ I consider the 5700-5845 range as a “chop zone,” where high volatility is expected this week. In this zone, bears and bulls will be in constant battle, and I do not expect a clear trend. I focused on Friday’s expiration in this analysis, as market outlooks remain highly uncertain ahead of the election. The strong PUT pricing skew is a natural phenomenon and is expected to increase, especially since we are in a negative gamma zone. For December expirations, PUT options cost nearly twice as much as CALL options, as shown by our oscillator for 12/20 expiry. There’s already ~6% IV backwardation between the 11/08 and 11/11 expirations, making this ideal for time spreads. However, caution is warranted—front-month PUT calendar and diagonal spreads can easily turn negative if front IV rises more than back IV. Remember! It’s not mandatory to trade during highly uncertain periods! Staying out of the market is also a position, and sitting in cash is actually the safest choice, especially in a volatile week like this. ⏩ You can check my previous week's analysis, every one was accurate, I hope this one will useful too. 10/28 SPX 10/21 SPX 10/14 SPX 10/28 QQQ 10/14 QQQ

Gold prices to fall steadily by the end of 2024Gold prices are trending down today, falling below the critical $2,700 level and currently hovering around $2,659. The main driver behind gold's decline is the surging USD, coupled with investor expectations that tensions in the Middle East and Ukraine may ease. Additionally, previous profit-taking and short-selling activity have further "sunk" this asset. If this trend continues, gold may test lower support levels around $2,603, after revisiting the 0.786 Fibonacci level and declining in line with the Elliott Wave 5. Investors are advised to seize short-selling opportunities while closely monitoring market movements in the coming period!

Bitcoin Approaches Important Support Zone, Waiting for New BreakBitcoin is currently trading around $69,962 after a slight correction and touching the support zone between $68,102 and $68,976. This price zone has proven to be a strong support zone in the short term. The 4-hour chart shows that the price is in a consolidation and accumulation phase after the previous strong rally, with the 34 EMA and 89 EMA acting as dynamic support levels. If the price holds the support zone and does not break below, Bitcoin could continue to fluctuate and form a short-term bottom pattern in this area before retesting the resistance level at $70,182. If this level is broken, a further uptrend could emerge with a target towards the $72,718 zone. However, in a negative scenario, if the price breaks below the current support zone, BTC could face further downward pressure towards lower support levels. Investors need to closely monitor fluctuations and macro news that affect the market.

BTCUSD price analysis: Prospects of intact price increaseBTCUSD is currently trading around 67,957, continuing the recent decline. Despite the pressure on Bitcoin, the long -term prospect is still positive, because it continues to move in the parallel channel. Looking at the technical indicators, we see that BTC has maintained its position on EMA 34 and EMA 89, signaling the potential for reversing. It is expected that, after checking the lower boundaries of this main canal and the ema, the price increases may continue. This can cause Bitcoin to aim for higher goals, capable of reaching new high levels over 73,000. What do you think about this view? Do you believe that Bitcoin has enough power to maintain its position in the price increase or is there a stronger risk of decline?

Gold price today: Continuing momentum!Ben hello everyone. Today, gold price is tending to decrease, after not passing the resistance vertices of 2790-2750, the price has begun to decrease and currently trading at $ 2728. This decline takes place before important events such as the US presidential election and the interest rate of the US Federal Reserve (Fed). As seen on the 2 -hour chart, it can be seen that gold price is still reacting around EMA 34 and the discount has not been broken, showing that the downtrend has not ended. Due to these factors, according to Ben's personal opinion, it is expected that gold price will continue to decrease in the near future, which is likely to reach about $ 2708 lower than $ 2709.

Hedging Price Risk in Silver in a Pivotal Week This is a big week for financial markets, a long-anticipated election in the US is likely to have widely varying impacts across major asset classes. Safe haven assets such as silver stand to benefit from the uncertainty. There is also an FOMC meeting scheduled on 7/Nov (Thu) where the Fed is widely expected to cut rates by 25 basis points. A lower rate environment also serves as tailwind for silver. Finally, the Chinese parliament is expected to announce details of fiscal stimulus on 8/Nov (Fri). Fiscal stimulus in China also stands to benefit silver through higher investment demand as well as industrial demand. In what should fundamentally be a strong week for silver, prices have entered the week on a bearish note following a 3.4% decline last week. While fundamental outlook for Silver remains bullish, this eventful week may drive unwanted volatility. Indeed markets are expecting large moves in silver prices with silver options IV near a 1-year high. Source: CME Group CVOL Investors can strategically deploy CME silver weekly options along with a long position in silver to capitalize on the fundamental increase while remaining protected against volatility. BULLISH FUNDAMENTAL OUTLOOK FOR SILVER Mint Finance covered some of silver’s bullish fundamental drivers in a previous paper . In brief, robust growth from the photovoltaic (PV) sector is driving high demand. PV installations are surging, with global solar installations up 29% year-over-year, driven by aggressive climate policies and energy transition goals. This increase has directly boosted silver consumption, essential for PV production. At the same time, silver markets have stayed in a supply deficit for the past four years. Silver miners have struggled to keep pace with the rapidly increasing industrial demand. China’s massive stimulus package—its largest since the pandemic—also plays a crucial role, freeing up liquidity to revitalize its struggling economy. This stimulus supports sectors like PV and electronics, key industries for silver usage, while bolstering consumer confidence, which translates into heightened demand for silver in electronics and jewellery. Investment demand for silver has started to pick up pace. Since July, U.S.-listed silver ETFs have seen over $942 million in inflows, particularly after the Fed’s rate cuts, which makes non-yielding assets like silver more attractive. HIGHER SILVER JEWELLERY DEMAND IN INDIA The recent festival season in India saw high demand for silver as buyers opted for it over gold. Silver sales by volume are expected to have increased 30-35% YoY while gold sales fell by 15% according to data from the Indian Bullion & Jewellers Association. Rising investor interest in silver is partly due to its relative affordability compared to gold, which is trading at an all-time high. While high gold prices are dampening demand, especially for physical gold and jewellery, silver remains more accessible, supporting increased investment. Rising investment demand, particularly for jewellery, risks pushing silver further into deficit. While jewellery demand for silver had been modest in recent years, 2022 saw a significant increase. According to the Silver Institute, jewellery demand is projected to grow by 4% in 2024 (but below 2022 levels), with actual demand potentially exceeding this due to the strong seasonal trend. Increased demand would further tighten silver supplies, likely driving prices higher over the next year. UPCOMING FOMC MEETING AND CHINA STIMULUS TO DRIVE SENTIMENT China’s parliament has started it five-day meeting on 4/Nov (Mon) and is expected to announce the details of the fiscal support on 8/Nov (Fri). Analysts suggest the fiscal plan could reach 10 trillion yuan ($1.4 trillion), with most funds likely allocated to refinancing local government debt. A substantial fiscal stimulus plan is likely to support silver prices. Recent economic data from China has also shown a recovering industrial sector as China’s manufacturing PMI rose from 49.8 to 50.1 in Oct as the manufacturing sector shifted into expansion after 5 months of contraction. In case the trend continues, stronger industrial demand also stands to push silver prices higher. SILVER IN THE MIDST OF CORRECTION DURING UPTREND Silver continued its bullish momentum from September into October but has corrected sharply over the past week. During the rally earlier this year, when silver prices corrected, they were able to find support at the 38.2% and 61.8% Fibonacci levels. With Silver presently just above the 38.2% level, it may find support here. Silver’s performance in the past two months has closely aligned with monthly pivot points. In both September and October, prices tested these pivot levels before moving higher. However, recent tests have shown smaller deviations from the pivot compared to prior months, suggesting that volatility could push prices slightly lower during this month’s test. There is strong reason to believe that the general bullish trend is likely to continue into next year. According to a poll at the LBMA precious metal conference, delegates expect silver prices to rise to USD 45/oz over 2025, reflecting a 37% increase from present levels. Precious metal analysts were highly optimistic about silver, stating that higher industrial demand combined with continued supply deficit was likely to drive strong gains. SEASONALITY SUGGESTS POTENTIAL FOR LARGE GAINS IN NOVEMBER Silver prices closed out October with a 4.6% increase but are currently nearly flat for November. Historically, November has been a mixed month for silver, with an average price increase of 1.88% since 2000, though with high standard deviation. Notably, only 42% of Novembers have shown positive gains. Despite this variability, past performance shows periods where silver either consistently declined or consistently rallied over multiple Novembers. Over the last two years, November has seen significant growth in silver prices; if this recent trend persists, silver could experience strong gains this month. SILVER’S PERFORMANCE AROUND ELECTIONS Certain safe haven and risk assets (gold, silver, BTC) stand to benefit from a Trump presidency. Historically, elections have impacted silver prices in varying ways. Following the Trump victory, silver stands to benefit. Looking at silver’s historical performance in the two weeks following elections since 1980, prices increased by an average of 0.7% when a Republican replaced a Democrat president. The Democrat-to-Republican shift has led to price rallies in two-thirds of cases. SILVER’S PERFORMANCE AROUND FOMC MEETINGS As mentioned, lower rates have a positive impact on non-yielding investment assets such as silver while also boosting industrial demand during periods with loose monetary policy. During the Fed easing cycles in 2001, 2007, and 2019, silver reacted positively to Fed rate cuts in 68% of cases (performance measured 1 week after FOMC meeting with monetary easing) with an average of 0.9% appreciation on the CME Silver front month contract. Source: CME FedWatch CME FedWatch tool is suggesting that a 25-basis point rate cut is most likely at the upcoming meeting on 7/Nov with a probability of 98%. As the outcome is largely anticipated, the impact of the meeting on silver prices may be minimal. HYPOTHETICAL TRADE SETUP Silver remains bullish with strong fundamental drivers including the rapid growth in the PV industry and strong investment demand. This week, several major events are expected to drive significant volatility in the silver market. While these events are generally anticipated to boost silver demand, prices may remain unstable and could see short-term declines. Silver is currently trading near its support levels, but increased event-driven volatility this week could lead to significant price swings. In late October, for example, silver briefly surged nearly 4% above usual resistance levels during short bursts of volatility. Although trading volume remained concentrated near the support level, the risk of sudden, sharp moves remains. This could result in a long silver position being prematurely closed out. With a long position in silver futures at risk from near-term event risks, investors can deploy CME weekly options to hedge a long position from near-term volatility which increases tail risk. In the following hypothetical trade setup, investors can combine a long position in CME micro silver futures expiring in December (SILZ4) at an entry of 32 with a protective put using CME silver weekly options expiring on 8/Nov (Fri) (SO2X4) at a strike level of 31 (delta 20, premium of 0.087/oz or USD 435) offers a compelling trade setup while remaining hedged against near-term volatility. Using a delta-20 put option keeps the position fully delta-hedged for the week, as the delta of the long micro silver position aligns with the option’s delta at 20. Since each micro silver contract is one-fifth the size of a full contract, this setup effectively maintains the hedge. In case prices dip below 30.64 by Friday due to volatility from the election, FOMC meeting, and China parliamentary meeting, the put option would offset any losses from the futures leg. In the later part of the month, the outlook for silver is likely to be bullish given the fundamental factors highlighted above, in case prices rise, the position would become profitable above 32.44, offsetting the premium paid for the short-term option. The scenarios in which the position loses: 1) In case prices remain between 30.64 and 32.44 2) In case prices fall below 30.64 following the put option expiry on 8/Nov The scenarios in which the position profits: 1) In case prices fall below 30.64 before the put option expiry on 8/Nov 2) In case prices rise above 32.44 at any point It should be noted that it would be prudent to set a stop loss on the long futures position following options expiry at 31 to minimize losses in case of a decline after options expiry.

Gold Dips After Rally: Is This the Perfect Buy Opportunity?Hello wonderful friends! Today, gold prices are showing signs of correction after a period of strong growth, currently hovering around the support level of 2750 USD. Profit-taking pressure after the recent surge has dragged gold prices lower, but the precious metal has maintained its growth momentum for the fourth consecutive month thanks to safe-haven demand. In Ben's view, gold may enter a consolidation phase, fluctuating between 2750 - 2716 USD before entering a tense period with the US election and the important Fed meeting. Moreover, geopolitical factors and uncertainty ahead of the election results will continue to support gold, while investors seem to be taking advantage of the opportunity to "buy on correction".

1 hour XAUUSD analysisGold price chart (XauUSD) in the current 1 hour frame reveal a potential picture with key price areas as follows: Strong support area: The area around $ 2,730 has proved the role of a "wall" of solid support, where the price many times found the thrust up. This price is creating great expectations for investors to buy, hoping to take advantage of the increase in this area. Signs of weakness of the downtrend: Trendline reduces the green color that has been slightly broken, referring to that selling pressure shows signs of slowing down. However, in order to officially confirm the price increase signal, the chart should show that the price exceeds the next resistance threshold. Expect the upper resistance area: If the purchasing force appears and pushes gold prices up, the first resistance levels to be observed will be $ 2,747, followed by $ 2,758 and 2,760 USD. These are the "walls" of the price that the buyer needs to conquer to strengthen the trend of short -term increase. Potential trading strategy: Investors can consider the purchase strategy if they see clear recovery signals from the $ 2,730 support area. The goal will be the above resistance areas. But if the price does not hold this support level and decreases deeper, the short -selling strategies may be considered with the expectation of the price continued to go down.
