I remember the term leads and lags from my studies in economics but it is not a term I see these days. While I am not privy to the way corporates hedge currency risk, leads and lags are important to understand as they can have an impact when a currency is trending as a business looks to hedge risk or take advantage of it. .
Real time charting lalgo , amazing trading linesa that form patterns to trade.
AT identifies imbalances in a market where one side is having trouble absorbing the flows. It then shares a strategy to take advantage of these patterns to execute “high probability” trades.
Illustration:
One-hour USDJPY chart
Blue at lines indicate an Imbalance to the downside
Gold is above the 50 EMA on the 4 hour timeframe, Stochastic has crossed over below 20%, indicating oversold positions. I believe there’s a reasonable chance that we see a bounce in price.
Dax continues to hit new highs – trend that started in late 2024.
And it goes stronger and faster.
So what might be behind this latest run – last 8 days?
Reuters claims : European stocks hover near record high on defence boost
European shares hovered near a record high on Monday, boosted by defence stocks amid growing U.S. calls for the region to amplify military spending for security.
But in my own view – this was all “written” on charts months ago, and especially after DAX broke above 22.000
GOLD (XAU/USD) opened at around price 2881 early this morning. It then went long (bullish) to the area of 2906, the highest point it ever got to till this moment. We see a retracement to the area of 2895 after which it went a bit long to its former position. The time is 1pm Nigerian time this Monday afternoon and the mood is good.
The price at 1pm is 2901 now. I forsee a small sell to tje price of 2895 to form a support level before a return to its former buy position. Happy Trading.
