Tesla (TSLA) Stock Surges Following Trump’s Election Win



According to the TSLA chart:
→ Tesla shares opened this week at $244.25.
→ By yesterday’s close, the stock had reached $296.52.
This reflects a gain of over 21% for the week, with the major boost occurring on 6 November, as news broke of Trump’s U.S. presidential victory—a candidate supported by Tesla’s CEO, Elon Musk.

As CNBC reports:
→ Musk reportedly invested at least $130 million into Trump’s campaign, lending his support as a significant effort in recent months.
→ The president-elect has pledged to roll back regulations that Musk opposes, leading Wall Street to bet on potential advantages for Tesla under the new administration.
Back on 24 October, after Tesla’s earnings report, we noted:
→ Since May, the price has been fluctuating within an upward channel (shown in blue), with the lower boundary acting as a strong support level.
→ The bullish momentum after the earnings release indicated a failed attempt by bears to break this lower boundary (shown with a red arrow).
→ Bulls might continue driving TSLA's price within this channel, aiming to breach the key resistance at $260.

Fed Cuts Rate by 0.25%; Stocks Reach Highs



Yesterday, the Federal Reserve announced a unanimous decision to lower the interest rate from 4.75% to 4.50%, marking the second consecutive cut—a move in line with analyst expectations and forecasts.
“This move will support further progress in controlling inflation as we aim for a more neutral stance over time,” said Fed Chair Jerome Powell.
According to Bloomberg, this decision aligns with the Fed’s efforts to support robust U.S. economic growth, creating positive sentiment for stock indices as newly re-elected President Donald Trump is expected to introduce economic stimulus measures.
However, could tensions arise between the new administration and the Fed? Trump has a record of publicly criticizing Powell and even considered dismissing him during his first term. At a press conference yesterday, Powell was asked if he would step down if requested by Trump, to which he replied decisively, “No.” He added that the removal or demotion of Fed board members, including himself, is “not legally permissible.” Powell emphasized that the U.S. election results would have "no effect" on the Fed’s decisions in the near term.

How to Measure the Trend Strength with the Average Directional Index?



While identifying the direction of a trend is important, knowing how strong that trend is can provide an additional edge. This is where the average directional index (ADX) comes into play. The ADX is a technical analysis tool that helps traders gauge the strength of a trend, regardless of whether the market is moving up or down. In this article, we'll explore what the ADX indicator is, and how to use it to measure trend strength, enhance your trading strategies, and make more confident trades.

What Is an Average Directional Index?
ADX, the average directional index or average directional movement index, is a technical tool developed by J. Welles Wilder in the 1970s to measure the strength of a trend. It ranges from 0 to 100, with higher values indicating a stronger trend and lower values signalling a weaker one. Unlike many technical analysis tools that focus on the direction of price movement, the ADX focuses solely on the trend's intensity. It works in conjunction with two other lines, the positive directional indicator (+DI) and negative directional indicator (-DI), to provide a more complete picture of market dynamics. A rising ADX suggests increasing trend strength, while a falling one may indicate weakening momentum.

What Is Quantitative Tightening and How Does It Work in Financial Markets?



Quantitative tightening (QT) is a critical tool central banks use to control inflation by reducing the money supply. In this article, we’ll break down how QT works, its impact on financial markets, and how it influences the broader economy. Read on to learn more about the effects of QT and how it shapes markets.

What Is Quantitative Tightening?
Quantitative tightening (QT) is a type of tightening monetary policy that central banks use to reduce the amount of money circulating in the economy.
When central banks like the USA’s Federal Reserve or European Central Bank engage in QT, they aim to tighten liquidity by reducing their balance sheets, typically by allowing bonds or other financial assets to mature without reinvestment or selling them outright. QT is a practice often used alongside hiking central bank interest rates, though not always.

Amazon Stock (AMZN) Holds Above $200



On Thursday, October 31, Amazon released its Q3 earnings report:
→ Earnings per share: actual = $1.43, forecast = $1.14;
→ Gross sales: actual = $158.8 billion, forecast = $157.2 billion.
The report exceeded analyst expectations, with additional optimism driven by Trump’s victory and a Fed rate cut, pushing Amazon’s stock price past the psychological $200 mark and reaching a new high above $210.




Today, Amazon’s stock chart shows the price beginning to round off (indicated by an arrow). Does this signal the end of the bullish trend?
Unlikely, given the strong fundamental support. In technical terms, it may be more accurate to consider the price’s vulnerability to a correction, especially as it sits near the upper boundary of an ascending channel.

All-Time Low and All-Time High Trading Strategies



In the volatile world of trading, mastering all-time high trading strategies and understanding how to navigate all-time lows are key. This FXOpen article delves into the nuanced tactics and insights that may help you navigate the peaks and troughs of market conditions, offering comprehensive insights if you are looking to leverage these critical areas for trading opportunities.

Understanding All-Time High and All-Time Low Market Conditions
Understanding the dynamics of all-time high and all-time low market conditions is crucial for traders aiming to navigate these pivotal points effectively.
All-time low trading refers to the scenario where an asset has reached its lowest price level in history, often triggering a heightened interest among investors looking for undervalued opportunities or signalling a potential reversal point. Conversely, all-time high trading occurs when assets are trading at their highest historical prices, indicating strong market optimism or potentially overvalued conditions ripe for a correction.

These extremes in market conditions represent significant psychological thresholds for the market participants, as they may lead to increased volatility and liquidity. Traders scrutinise trading at all-time lows to identify the potential for recovery, while those at all-time highs are monitored for signs of sustained momentum or impending pullbacks.

Euro Hits Yearly Lows, Pound Dips Below 1.2800



Looking at recent moves in major currency pairs, it’s clear that market participants have come to terms with Donald Trump's victory in the U.S. presidential election and are starting to prepare for changes to the global economic landscape. Among the new president’s campaign promises was the introduction of additional tariffs on imports to the U.S. For instance, Trump has proposed around a 25% tariff on Mexican imports and a range of 10% to 20% for goods from European nations. Unsurprisingly, the prospect of potential trade wars is impacting the pricing of pairs such as EUR/USD and GBP/USD.

EUR/USD



The Euro has been in decline for the second consecutive week. Yesterday, it hit a new yearly low near 1.0600 but found support at 1.0590, bouncing slightly. If the 1.0600-1.0580 range turns into resistance, the pair may test the lows seen in 2023, around 1.0520-1.0460. A sustained upward move is likely only if the pair firmly clears 1.0730-1.0680.

XAU/USD Analysis: Gold Price Drops to $2,600 per Ounce



On November 4, when gold was trading around $2,750, we observed bearish signals on the XAU/USD chart.
Since then, the price has declined to the $2,600 level, briefly dipping below it — the lowest price since mid-September.
According to Trading Economics, investors may be losing interest in gold for several reasons:
→ Strong U.S. Dollar: A robust dollar reduces gold's appeal as a safe-haven asset.
→ Optimism Following Trump’s Election: Market participants are reacting to Trump’s fiscal and monetary policy pledges, shifting toward riskier assets.
→ Upcoming Key U.S. Inflation Data: The CPI data, expected today at 16:30 GMT+3, may reveal no unexpected negative trends.

S&P 500 Index Stabilises Near Resistance Block



The ATR indicator on the S&P 500’s 4-hour chart (US SPX 500 mini on FXOpen) currently shows a reduction in price volatility.
This drop in volatility can likely be attributed to:
→ The market having fully absorbed the impact of Trump’s recent presidential win;
→ No unexpected news from yesterday’s CPI report, which matched analysts’ inflation expectations.
Looking ahead, Morgan Stanley analysts believe the bull market could face challenges from:
→ A rise in treasury bond yields, potentially diverting investor funds;
→ A strengthening dollar, which could reduce export revenues for large companies;
→ Indicators suggesting stock valuations are becoming even more stretched.

Commodity Currencies Reach New Lows



The rally in Bitcoin, meme coins, and the US dollar that followed Donald Trump’s presidential victory continues to gain momentum. The tariff cuts announced by the new president-elect have already contributed to declines in gold and commodity prices. Combined with the potential for heightened trade tensions with China, the current environment is pressuring currencies such as the AUD and CAD.

USD/CAD



Yesterday, USD/CAD buyers managed to test the psychological resistance level at 1.4000. The pair has long traded within the range of 1.3960–1.3800, but it has recently broken above this channel to reach a two-year high at 1.3960. Technical analysis points to the potential for further gains towards 1.4200–1.4300, provided the 1.4000–1.3960 levels hold as support. A downward correction, however, could bring the pair back to 1.3960–1.3900.

Key events likely to impact USD/CAD pricing today include:
At 16:30 (GMT +3:00): US Initial Jobless Claims.
At 16:30 (GMT +3:00): US Producer Price Index (PPI) for October.
At 19:00 (GMT +3:00): Weekly US crude oil inventory report.

Alibaba (BABA) Shares Drop Ahead of Earnings Report



Tomorrow, on 15 November, Alibaba (BABA) will release its third-quarter 2024 earnings report. Analysts forecast a drop in earnings per share to $2.11 from $2.26 in the previous quarter.
Ahead of the report, Alibaba's share price has shown a downward trend, with a decline of over 20% from its October high. This drop is attributed not only to the waning of the strong bullish momentum seen in the Chinese stock market in September but also to increased competition from Temu and Pinduoduo. However, JP Morgan analyst Alex Yao predicts that "Alibaba will stabilise its market share in the coming years," potentially supporting its position as China's largest supplier.
A technical analysis of Alibaba’s (BABA) price chart reveals that:
→ this autumn, the stock price broke above a multi-year descending trend line (in red);
→ signs of support lines and pivot points suggest an emerging upward channel that could gain relevance in the long term following the breakout.

The daily chart for Netflix (NFLX) shows that its price has risen by more than 10% since the start of November, setting a series of new all-time highs. Today, Netflix's stock price is trading above $830.

→ Revenue: Actual = $9.82 billion, Expectations = $9.11 billion;
→ Monthly active users: Reached 70 million.

Brent Crude Oil Analysis: Bulls Hold the Line at Key Support



The XBR/USD chart reveals that Brent crude oil is trading near its lowest levels of the year.
Several factors are pressuring oil prices:
→ China's uncertain demand outlook: As the world's largest crude oil importer, any signs of weakening demand weigh heavily on the market.
→ A strengthening US dollar: Since Brent is priced in USD, a stronger dollar makes oil more expensive for international buyers, dampening demand.
→ Trump's promises to halt wars, including in the Middle East: This reduces geopolitical risk, which traditionally acts as a bullish factor for oil prices.
