Crypto Overview: Bitcoin and Ethereum
Bitcoin has been battling a significant resistance point from its past peak, showing little movement despite the volatility. The Commitment of Traders report indicates small speculators are highly active, suggesting caution. Ethereum, on the other hand, shows relative weakness as it hasn't reached new all-time highs, unlike Bitcoin.
Precious Metals: Gold and Silver
Gold remains strong despite some recent pullbacks and is currently in a consolidation phase. Silver shows relative weakness, struggling to break through key resistance levels, making it a potential candidate for shorting if looking to trade precious metals.
Forex and Dollar Index (DXY)
The Dollar Index is currently range-bound, making it a prime time for scalping strategies in forex trading. The EUR/GBP shows a significant rejection at a potential breakout point, hinting at bearish opportunities in the short term.
Stock Market Insights
The S&P 500 showed a robust bounce this week, potentially marking a bullish trend if it can reclaim the anchored VWAP level. Meanwhile, small caps (IWM) remain weak, suggesting a cautious approach if considering investments in smaller companies.
