It eventually reversed and moved to the upside, crossing the MA on its way up moving rapidly. It found strong resistance near 1.07160 before retracing back to the mean.

BTCUSD (Bitcoin) 4-Day Chart Summary
Server Time / Timezone EEST (UTC+02:00)
Price Movement
The 35400 resistance was critical for bitcoin. It eventually broke that resistance and almost touched the 36000 level on its way up after it saw a jump. The price soon retraced back to the 61.8% Fibo level and settled near the support levels that were previously acting as resistance levels near 35300. Today the price broke the 36000 resistance and jumped to the next level at near 36800. No retracement was recorded yet.

EQUITY MARKETS MONITOR
NAS100 (NDX) 4-Day Chart Summary
Server Time / Timezone EEST (UTC+02:00)
Price Movement
All benchmark U.S. indices have been experiencing the same path upwards lately. The RSI still shows lower highs, it is a matter of time before the market eventually retraces back. We will wait until we have more evidence that there is an end to this uptrend and support breakouts indicating a reversal and a long retracement for the price correction to the downside. Currently the indices follow a sideways path again with high volatility. Important resistance appears to be near 15360. 15220 acts as an important support and its breakout to the downside will probably indicate the long waited reversal/end of the uptrend.

COMMODITIES MARKETS MONITOR
USOIL (WTI) 4-Day Chart Summary
Server Time / Timezone EEST (UTC+02:00)
Price Movement
The price has experienced a sharp fall recently and strong support at near 77 USD/b was preventing the price from falling further. A breakout eventually occurred to the downside yesterday and the price dropped further rapidly until the next support at 75.5 USD/b and then at even 75 USD/b before retracing back to 76 USD/b. We are waiting to see if this will be the turning point with the price reversing upwards after a long drop. There is not enough evidence to suggest that though. We need more resistance breakouts. Let’s see.

XAUUSD (Gold) 4-Day Chart Summary
Server Time / Timezone EEST (UTC+02:00)
Price Movement
Gold jumped during the NFP report and immediately reversed to the downside with mean reversal. During the jump it reached the resistance at near 2004 UD/oz, however, it reversed lower and remained on the downside. Since then, we have had a clear downward trend. Even though the RSI shows signals of a bullish divergence (higher lows) there is not enough evidence that Gold eventually will change direction. 1940 USD/oz is probably the next support.

News Reports Monitor – Today Trading Day (09 Nov 2023)
Server Time / Timezone EEST (UTC+02:00)
- Midnight – Night Session (Asian)
Inflation data for China show that it re-entered disinflationary territory in October. Both consumer (CPI) and producer (PPI) inflation contracted. The CPI inflation shrank at an annualised 0.2% in October, in line with expectations of a negative figure, and worsened from the 0% reading seen in September. No major shock was recorded at that time.
- Morning–Day Session (European and N. American Session)
The jobless claims for the U.S. will be released at 15:30 which is usually the time the USD sees more volatility. The figure is expected to be reported higher, something logical since we saw from the other labour data related figures that cooling of the labour market is apparent. Employment figures were reported way lower than expected.
No other major releases, no major news announcements. Several speeches take place from central bank representatives throughout the day.
