I’ve noted over many years how trend trading is better off shorter time frame charts during the European and US sessions when the FX Indices are divergent, as they are currently, and last night was a quintessential example of this phenomenon. My TC Trigger continues to be a great help with identifying trend line breakout trades and there were 6 of these since my post from yesterday, all triggering whilst I’m not around.
USDX daily: there is Flight to Safety chat about the moves seen across Gold and Yen pairs but it’s not evident with the US$! Another down day after respecting the top of the Ichimoku Cloud and recent trend line.
Gold and Silver: Gold is honing in on its major 6-year bear trend line but Silver has broken, tested and now bounced of its 6-year trend line. Both gave great opportunities off either 14 ‘ or 30’ charts overnight:
Gold 4hr: a trend line breakout above $1,265 for 90 pips. The major 6 year bear trend line is just above and near the $1,280 level so that is one to keep in focus in coming sessions:
Gold 30 min: note the flat trading during Asia and much of the early European sessions. A different story for US traders though with my TC indicator offering a great signal here!
Silver 4hr: I noted the test of this major 6-year bear trend line in yesterday’s post but now note the bounce off this resistance-turned-support:
Silver 30 min: a decent TC signal here:
Silver 15 min: and a decent TC signal here too!
