Key takeaways Nvidia’s 16% pullback ahead of earnings has become the deepest correction in its medium-term uptrend, driven by valuation concerns, AI bubble fears, and notable investor exits (SoftBank and Peter Thiel’s Thiel Macro LLC).The sell-off has amplified downside pressure across U.S. equities, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 falling 5% and 7% respectively, underscoring Nvidia’s outsized influence as the largest weight in both indices and a central pillar of the AI-driven market rally.Despite the correction, Nvidia’s medium-term uptrend remains intact above the 183.30/177.70 support zone, and a break above 198.70 could reignite bullish momentum toward its all-time high, while a drop below 177.70 risks a larger multi-week correction. Artificial intelligence (AI) juggernaut Nvidia will report its third-quarter earnings after the close of the U.S. session on Wednesday, 19 November 2025.Read more: NVIDIA (NVDA) Q3 2025 Earnings Preview: Navigating the AI Stress TestSince hitting a recent fresh all-time high of 212.19 on 29 October 2025, the share price of Nvidia has wobbled and staged a decline of 16% (high to low) to print an intraday low of 178.91 on 7 November 2025.The latest 16% correction (high to low) in Nvidia marks its deepest drop since its current medium-term uptrend phase kick-started on 7 April 2025, on the backdrop of overvaluation and Artificial Intelligence (AI) bubble fears, coupled with prominent investors, SoftBank and Peter Thiel’s hedge fund, Thiel Macro LLC, that sold off their entire stakes in Nvidia ahead of today’s earnings release.Nvidia’s share price drop triggered a negative cascading effect on the US market The souring sentiment around Nvidia has reinforced a bearish reflexivity loop across broader US equities, dragging the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 down roughly 5% and 7% from their late-October record highs.As the largest constituent in both indices, holding weights of 7.5% in the S&P 500 and 14% in the Nasdaq 100. Nvidia’s weakness carries a disproportionate market impact. Over the past three years, the US equity rally has been powered largely by AI-driven optimism, making the current pullback particularly sensitive to shifts in Nvidia’s trajectory.The fate of the US stock market is highly dependent on Nvidia’s earnings growth prospects. Hence, the ex-post earnings share price reaction of Nvidia will be pivotal for the US stock market.Let’s now shift to Nvidia’s potential share price trajectory from a medium-term technical perspective, focusing on the next one to three months.Preferred trend bias (1-3 months) – Medium-term uptrend remains intact zoom_out_map Fig. 1: Nvidia medium-term trend as of 18 Nov 2025 (Source: TradingView) Watch the key medium-term pivotal support zone at 183.30/177.70 for Nvidia to maintain its current medium-term uptrend phase.A clearance above 198.70 upside trigger level is likely to increase the odds of kicking off a new bullish impulsive up move sequence to retest the current all-time high of 212.19 before the next medium-term resistance at 224.50/227.00 (Fibonacci extension cluster).Key elements The recent decline seen at the start of this week has managed to find support at the lower boundary of an ascending channel in place since the 5 September 2025 low.The price action of Nvidia has formed a daily “small body” candlestick pattern on Tuesday, 18 November 2025, suggesting that downside momentum has eased.The daily Chaikin Money Flow indicator, a derivative of price and volume, has rebounded after it hit a 15-month low of -0.23 on 6 November 2025. Its current value is at -0.01 as it looks to reintegrate above the zero line. These observations suggest a potential revival of bullish momentum accompanied by a rise in volume.Alternative trend bias (1 to 3 months) A breakdown below 177.70 key support damages the medium-term uptrend phase of Nvidia to kickstart a multi-week to multi-month corrective decline sequence to expose 164.60 and the long-term pivotal support of 153.00 (also the 200-day moving average).

Markets are getting rocked up and down across asset classes lately.Cryptos are getting sold off aggressively (Is the selling done or is it only a first wave?).Equities are seeing some record volatility compared to the past few years in frantic +1% up and down moves, as can be seen today.Even Metals are failing to gather traction after reaching some new records towards the end of last month.They are holding relatively well compared to the other asset classes that performed great throughout 2025, but the fact that they can't seem to attract inflows during high-range risk-off profit-taking points to a deeply confused market.The dominant 2025 trend of Stocks, Cryptos, and Metals rallying simultaneously is what has been broadly called the Debasement Trade (a trade rooted in the debasement of the US Dollar and fiat currencies in general).But when all these anti-fiat assets fall at the same time, what is truly happening? zoom_out_map Metal Performance since Mid-October 2025. November 18, 2025 – Source: TradingView Bank of America has sent out warnings on dangerously low cash levels, which usually doesn't rhyme well with risk asset performance (or any asset, except Treasury bonds).This flow could signal the start of a trend where massive profit-taking and position closing—a potential Re-basement Trade (contrary to the debasement trade)—takes hold.In the waiting for such developments to happen (or not), let's dive into two timeframe charts for Gold (XAU/USD) and Silver (XAG/USD) to spot what key levels can come into play for upcoming trading.

Most Read: NVIDIA (NVDA) Q3 2025 Earnings Preview: Navigating the AI Stress TestGold prices have had a topsy turvy start to the week but the $4000/oz handle has held firm. Bulls have returned and price has bounced off the confluence area at $4000 but needs acceptance above the $4100/oz handle for the rally to gather steam.The question on the minds of market participants is whether or not Gold bulls will remain in control after the Fed minutes release and Labor data on Thursday?Technical Outlook - Gold (XAU/USD) Looking at the four-hour chart below, the technical picture is interesting.Having bounced off the ascending trendline which lined up with the $4000/oz handle, Gold broke above the 100-day MA and is now testing the descending trendline drawn from the November 13 high around $4245/oz.A break of the descending trendline and the 50-day MA around the $4096/oz handle could open up a potential rally toward the previous descending trendline touch at $4212/oz.Of course there is a resistance area around the $4150/oz handle which could prove to be a stumbling block but bulls may be emboldened or if not will be eyeing US labor data and the Fed minutes as a potential catalyst.To keep the bullish momentum going, the 100-day MA at 4041 is now a crucial near-term support area. If this area holds, it should bode well for bullish momentum.Gold (XAU/USD) Four-Hour Chart, November 18, 2025 zoom_out_map Source: TradingView (click to enlarge) Market Dynamics and Data Releases The price of Gold (XAU/USD) has appeared relatively unaffected by the moves in the US Dollar Index of late. However, this does not mean that correlation is no longer something to keep an eye on.This week's Fed minutes and Labor data releases will play a major role in rate cut expectations which will impact market sentiment and the US Dollar Index. This in turn will play a major role in the movement of Gold prices moving forward.The aggressive repricing of rate cut probabilities for the Feds December meeting (93.7% probability a month ago vs 51.1% probability at present) has kept Gold gains in check. zoom_out_map Source: CME FedWatch Tool However, a weak print on the labor data front could see rate cut expectations spike and thus propel Gold higher once more.Markets already know broadly what to expect from the Fed minutes release as it was Fed Chair Powell's tone and the 10-2 vote split at the Fed's October meeting that kickstarted the hawkish repricing of rate cut expectations.Thus the event could be sidelined by market participants in favor of Thursday's labor data release. zoom_out_map For all market-moving economic releases and events, see the MarketPulse Economic Calendar.

Currently trading at 0.79952, having recovered losses from earlier in today’s session, USD/CHF is up +0.42% in today’s session.Having recently suffered its worst weekly performance since June, falling by 1.38% in week 46, dollar-franc now looks for support near the key level of 0.8000, having recently formed a triple bottom on the daily timeframe.Otherwise, markets now eye an all-important FOMC Minutes release tomorrow.What’s next for USD/CHF?USD/CHF: Key takeaways 18/11/2025 Succumbing to bearish pressure in last week's trading, USD/CHF has found some support in the past few sessions and is currently looks to secure a three-day winning streakWhile changing expectations of Fed monetary policy is offering some short-term upside to the dollar, consistent safe haven flows and a recent US-Switzerland trade agreement continue to cement the franc’s position as best-performing major currency year-to-dateWith the next Federal Reserve meeting scheduled only three short weeks from today, markets now turn their attention to tomorrow’s FOMC Minutes release, with markets already readjusting expectations of another 25 BPS cut to end 2025 Read Kelvin’s coverage from earlier in today’s session: USD/JPY: Potential minor top at 155.30, USD at risk of bearish reversal towards 154.20/153.65USD/CHF: Safe haven flows, trade deals & a hawkish Fed While if I had a franc for every time I’ve mentioned safe-haven flows when talking about USD/CHF this year, I’d probably be able to buy a fair few cups of coffee, the fact remains that geopolitical tensions, dubious sovereign debt levels, and a shake-up to global trade all continue to add to the premium for renowned safe-haven currencies like the Swiss Franc.While in years previous, much of this demand for more secure and reliable stores of wealth would have split somewhat between different currencies, the dollar and the yen have undeniably fallen by the wayside in favour of the franc in terms of safe-haven appeal.Case in point: the Swiss franc remains the best-performing major currency year to date, with the euro in a close second place. zoom_out_map SXY, EXY, BXY, AXY, CXY, JXY, NXY, DXY, TVC, TradingView,18/11/2025 As ever, let’s break down some of the macroeconomic themes at play in USD/CHF markets.USD/CHF: Fundamental Analysis 18/11/2025 Safe-haven flows continue to benefit the franc: While I have explained this in full as part of previous coverage, it would be remiss not to mention that an increase in safe-haven demand has been the deciding factor in CHF strength throughout 2025.Between ballooning US government debt, a downgrade of US sovereign credit, global trade tensions, and continued world conflicts, there is clearly no shortage of tailwinds for safe-haven assets, with the rally in precious metal pricing and franc value sharing some common ground.While deflationary pressures in the Swiss economy, alongside a rumoured return to negative rates, have somewhat called the franc’s status as ultimate safe-haven into question at times this year, the market has clearly voted with its feet in 2025, with falling dollar value compounding this effect further. US-Switzerland trade deal: Announced earlier this week, the conclusion of a significant tariff agreement between the United States and Switzerland has offered some upside to the Swiss franc, with whispers of a trade deal between the two countries confirmed and finalised.Read the full press release here: Joint Statement on a Framework for a United States – Switzerland – Liechtenstein Agreement on Fair, Balanced, and Reciprocal Trade, whitehouse.govWhile I can’t speak for anyone else, when I think of the Swiss economy, I think of pharmaceuticals, luxury watches, and jewelry, which is, as it happens, far from just anecdotal. The Swiss economy consistently ranks highly in terms of the ratio of total exports to total GDP, particularly when compared to its European counterparts.As such, and with an economy that relies heavily on exports to countries like the US, any notion of positive developments on trade tariffs will disproportionately benefit the franc, as seen in last week’s trading. Fed’s hawkish repricing: While the above would support a strengthening of the franc over the dollar, recent upside in USD/CHF pricing suggests there’s something more at play.That fly in the ointment is recent developments in Fed monetary policy, with an almost certain 25-basis-point cut in December, perhaps not so certain after all. zoom_out_map CME FedWatch, 18/11/2025 To add to a pre-existing hawkish tilt from the Federal Reserve, who, to give credit, has consistently attempted to temper market expectations of a rapid easing cycle, Vice Chair Jefferson shared some choice words in a speech yesterday: “Given that outlook, I supported last month's decision to reduce our policy rate by 1/4 percentage point. That step was appropriate because I see the balance of risks as having shifted in recent months as downside risks to employment have increased. The current policy stance is still somewhat restrictive, but we have moved it closer to its neutral level that neither restricts nor stimulates the economy. The evolving balance of risks underscores the need to proceed slowly as we approach the neutral rate.” Vice Chair Jefferson, speaking at the the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, Kansas City, Missouri Fair to say: the Federal Reserve is less dovish than previously thought some weeks ago, primarily on labour market concerns.As can be expected, a more hawkish Fed is positive for the US dollar, especially considering the SNB currently offers an interest rate of 0.00% compared to the Fed’s 4.00%, marking a significant differential. zoom_out_map USINTR & CHINTR, TradingView,18/11/2025 Markets, now cast their watchful eye totomorrow’s FOMC Minutes release, and will of course be looking for further clues regarding December’s decision.Wednesday, November 19th, US FOMC Minutes, 14:00 ESTUSD/CHF: Technical Analysis 04/11/2025USD/CHF: Daily (D1) chart analysis: zoom_out_map USD/CHF, D1, OANDA, TradingView, 18/11/2025 In the spirit of honesty, I would personally steer clear of trading USD/CHF at the moment, at least until price looks to break out of the current range.Technically, USD/CHF has traded sideways since late July, but it is also entirely at the mercy of Fed commentary in the minutes tomorrow, so the fundamental picture remains somewhat unclear.If I had to trade, I would be looking to the upside, especially considering the recent triple bottom and pin bar, but again, I’d want further confirmation. In any case: Price targets and support/resistance levels:Price target/Resistance #1 - $0.80575 - 78.6% Fib from previous analysisSupport #1 - $0.79935 - 78.6% Fib from previous analysisSupport #2 - $0.79465 - Bottom of range Read Zain’s coverage on markets today: Markets Today: Bitcoin Slips Below $90000, Yen Eyes Recovery, Gold Hits 1-Week Lows as Markets Brace for US Data Opinions are the authors'; not necessarily that of OANDA Business Information & Services, Inc. or any of its affiliates, subsidiaries, officers or directors.

Key takeaways The Japanese yen has been the weakest major currency over the past month, with USD/JPY climbing nearly 3%—outpacing the US Dollar Index’s 0.9% gain—amid political pressure for looser monetary policy.USD/JPY’s surge above 155.00 has heightened FX-intervention risk, prompting verbal warnings from Japan’s Finance Minister over rapid, one-sided yen depreciation.A high-stakes meeting between BoJ Governor Ueda and Prime Minister Takaichi later today could trigger short-term volatility, with technical signals pointing to rising odds of a minor bearish reversal unless USD/JPY breaks above 155.30. In the past month (based on a rolling basis), the Japanese yen has been the weakest major currency against the US dollar. The USD/JPY rose by almost 3% as of Tuesday, 18 November 2025, at the time of writing, surpassing the 0.9% return seen in the US Dollar Index over the same period (see Fig. 1). zoom_out_map Fig. 1: 1-month rolling performances of major currencies against the US dollar as of 18 Nov 2025 (Source: TradingView) The current bout of weakness seen in the Japanese yen has been attributed to political jawboning by the new Japanese Prime Minister, Takaichi’s penchant for an accommodating monetary policy to drive economic growth, going against the Bank of Japan (BoJ)’s current monetary policy stance of gradually rising interest rates as inflation trend in Japan has stablished above BoJ’s 2% long-term target.FX intervention risk has increased with BoJ Ueda-PM Takaichi meeting on the horizon The USD/JPY has surged past the 155.00 psychology level on Monday, 17 November, from the 7 November 2025 low of 152.82, and it continued to trade higher in today’s Asia session, 18 November, as it printed an intraday high of 155.38 to record a 10-month high.The sharp rise in USD/JPY has triggered a verbal warning from Finance Minister Katayama, who reiterated concerns over rapid, one-sided yen moves in the FX market.Separately, a closely watched meeting between BoJ Governor Ueda and Prime Minister Takaichi is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. local time. Any post-meeting comments related to monetary policy could spark meaningful short-term volatility in USD/JPY.Let’s now outline the short-term trajectory for USD/JPY over the next 1 to 3 days, along with the key technical elements and levels to monitor.Preferred trend bias (1-3 days) – Minor bearish reversal below 155.30 zoom_out_map Fig. 2: USD/JPY minor trend as of 18 Nov 2025 (Source: TradingView) Bearish bias with 155.30 as key short-term pivotal resistance for the USD/JPY. A break below 154.75 may expose near-term weakness towards the next intermediate supports at 154.20 and 153.65 (also the 20-day moving average) (see Fig. 2).Key elements The minor uptrend phase of USD/JPY from its 29 October 2025 low of 151.89 to Tuesday, 18 November 2025, intraday high of 155.38 may have reached a terminal exhaustion point, as price action has hit the upper boundary of the bearish “Ascending Wedge” configuration.In conjunction, the hourly RSI momentum indicator has traced out a bearish divergence before exiting its overbought region on Tuesday, 18 November 2025, during the Asia session.These observations suggest that short-term upside momentum has started to wane, which increases the odds of a minor bearish reversal on the USD/JPY.Alternative trend bias (1 to 3 days) However, a clearance above 155.30 key resistance invalidates the bearish reversal scenario for a further squeeze up towards the next intermediate resistances at 155.80/155.95 and 156.50/156.70.

Most Read: Gold (XAU/USD): 9% dead cat bounce rally at risk of reversal, watch US$4,036 downside triggerThe chip giant, NVIDIA (NVDA), will report its third-quarter earnings on November 19th after the market closes. This report is viewed as a crucial test for the entire AI market, since NVIDIA is seen as a key leader in the industry.Expectations for the company are extremely high leaving very little room for error; NVIDIA must deliver strong results, particularly in its future sales forecast and provide assurance that companies will continue to spend heavily on AI. Due to these high stakes, the stock market is preparing for significant volatility, with predictions that the stock price could swing by 6% to 8% immediately after the results are announced.What to Expect? NVIDIA’s Q3 financial expectations face a unique challenge: the consensus estimates already sit above the company's own official guidance. zoom_out_map Source: LSEG, Created by Zain Vawda The consensus estimate for Q3 revenue ($54.8 billion) implies that the market has fundamentally discounted NVIDIA’s guided midpoint ($54.0 billion). For the stock to react favorably, analysts generally require revenue to hit at least $55 billion, with targets closer to $56 billion preferred to validate the ongoing momentum. Failure to surpass the consensus estimate, even if company guidance is met, would be interpreted as slowing growth and likely trigger a pullback.Key Focus Areas Blackwell Execution and Margin IntegrityNVIDIA’s growth is almost entirely dependent on its Data Center division and the successful, timely rollout of its new Blackwell (B200) chip. Investors must see the company flawlessly execute this production and deliver the expected $8 billion jump in Data Center revenue, while also maintaining a very high profit margin (near 74%) to justify its premium pricing.Q4 Guidance and Demand DurabilityThe forward guidance for Q4 FY2026 will be the largest determinant of the stock's immediate reaction. Wall Street is currently anticipating Q4 revenue guidance in the range of $61.29 billion to $61.57 billion. Any guidance falling below $60 billion would be considered severely disappointing and likely lead to a sharp correctionThe necessity for a strong Q4 guide stems from persistent market skepticism concerning the longevity of the AI capital expenditure (capex) boom. Investors worry about "circular AI spending" and the risk of temporary inventory overbuilding by hyperscalers. Management must use the earnings call to provide qualitative reassurance regarding the long-term commitment of cloud providers, offering clear commentary on order visibility into 2026 and robust forward capacity planning. Evidence of diversified demand, particularly from early Sovereign AI deals and enterprise inference adoption, is crucial to counter the narrative of overreliance on core hyperscaler contracts. This qualitative clarity on the future demand curve is arguably more important than the Q3 numbers themselves, given the stock’s stretched valuationGeopolitical Risk and CompetitionGeopolitical headwinds have intensified, imposing a permanent structural limit on NVIDIA's market access. Q3 guidance already explicitly excluded Chinese H20 chip shipments due to U.S. export restrictions. Further compounding this issue, new guidance from the Chinese government in November 2025 now mandates that state-funded data center projects use only domestically made AI chips.This converts a temporary disruption into a structural market exclusion in a major government sector. Investors require concrete evidence that global diversification is accelerating fast enough to permanently offset the lost revenue from this structural decoupling.Competitive risks are also materializing. While AMD’s Instinct line presents a direct challenge in computational horsepower, the most significant long-term risk to NVDA’s pricing power stems from hyperscalers designing and deploying their own custom accelerators (ASICs) to reduce the "Nvidia tax".Potential Implications for NVIDIA Share Price For NVIDIA's stock rally to continue and reach the highest price targets, the company must achieve a decisive "beat and raise": it needs Q3 revenue above $55 billion and the future sales forecast (Q4 guidance) must be significantly above the $62 billion expected by analysts.This success must be backed up by clear comments that ease market worries about how long the AI spending boom will last, confirming that the new Blackwell chip is being produced perfectly and that the company has strong sales orders lined up through 2026.If NVIDIA only meets the Q3 target but gives a cautious Q4 forecast (below $61.5 billion), the stock will likely fall sharply, because its current high valuation assumes the best possible outcome.NVIDIA (NVDA) Daily Chart, November 17, 2025 zoom_out_map Source: TradingView Follow Zain on Twitter/X for Additional Market News and Insights @zvawda Opinions are the authors'; not necessarily that of OANDA Business Information & Services, Inc. or any of its affiliates, subsidiaries, officers or directors.

The week has started with wiggly trading, leaving traders firmly on the fence when it comes to risk-sentiment. Despite the broader market indecision, a few specific names are holding the major indices together, notably Alphabet (Google), which trades higher by 4% after Berkshire Hathaway disclosed a $4.3 billion stake in the company. Names like Tesla and the semiconductor giant Micron (MU) are also providing support. However, most stocks are trading close to unchanged or slightly in the red at the open. zoom_out_map US Equity Heatmap (11:20 A.M.) – November 17, 2025 – Source: TradingView Investors remain anxious over the path of AI investment. The massive capital expenditure required for large AI projects was initially easier to fund when the market was pricing in lower rates. However, recent hawkishness from Fed officials signaling that they are unlikely to cut rates again this year has cast a shadow over the sector. This has intensified scrutiny over already stretched tech valuations.Markets are expected to get at least some clarity soon, with public US data expected to resume promptly. Crucially, the BLS has announced they will publish the September NFP report on Thursday, November 20th. While the chance of a rate cut remains uncertain (currently around 40%), a clear signal of a more restricted labor market could be the key decision-maker for the Fed. Everything will now depend on the incoming data.In any case, traders can rejoice of such volatility which provides opportunity on both the buy and sell side – Take a look at the VIX where spikes have become more frequent and has actually formed some upward sloping trends. zoom_out_map VIX (Volatility Index) and its rise – November 17, 2025.

But as anything in trading, its effect will be contingent on continuation.After such a formation, bulls will want to see strong upward candles to retake the hand.Failing to make progress higher could mean that buyers are getting exhausted and could prompt further rangebound action.A break below the Friday lows (24,551) would on the other hand imply further downside.Nasdaq technical levels of interest:Resistance LevelsCurrent ATH 26,283 (CFD)All-time high resistance zone 26,100 to 26,300Intermediate resistance and 4H MA 50 25,700 to 25,850Mini-resistance at 25,500 GapCurrent Pivot 25,050 to 25,200 (immediate resistance and Moving Averages)Support Levels24,879 session lows24,500 Main support October lows 23,997Early 2025 ATH at 22,000 to 22,229 SupportS&P 500 4H Chart and technical levels zoom_out_map S&P 500 (CFD) 4H Chart, November 17, 2025 – Source: TradingView The S&P 500 is holding similar conditions as the Nasdaq, but as typical, with less volatility/ more rangebound characteristics.Holding below the Pivot Zone and Key MAs, bulls still have to do more work if they want to reach new records.Also showing a double bottom, expectations for continuation will be high after the Friday bounce.

Log in to today's North American session Market wrap for November 14A bloody overnight and early morning session quickly got met with a V-shape reversal in US indices today.This sharp volatility saw Gold and other metals suffer large outflows, with gold declining sharply and experiencing significant selling pressure.Today's and this week's all-market action strongly resembled a global portfolio rewiring, similar to what often happens at the beginning of new quarters (even though Q4 is still far from finished).The Nasdaq led the decline overnight, with futures trading seeing sharp drops, before dip-buyers corrected the entire move.This rapid V-shape recovery wasn't fueled by many catalysts, but the same could be said about the selloff.The Dow, which had performed very well earlier this week, did not get as much traction in the subsequent tech-led recovery. However, this tech comeback wasn't global, with Cryptos again seeing bloodshed as participants engaged in broad risk-deleveraging.The lack of data clarity from the BLS is still creating palpable anxiety in markets, which should persist until more information gets released.The cloud should begin to dissipate throughout the coming days and weeks.Actually the BLS just announced that the September NFP report (normally published in early October) will be reported on Thursday, November 20.

Except for a change in fundamentals, expect seesawing action in Energy Commodities.And for the rest, Stocks really have shown their resilience today (look at the moves on the Red-Nasdaq line). The rest will be to see if this holds next week with the ongoing volatility.A picture of today's performance for major currencies zoom_out_map Currency Performance, November 14 – Source: OANDA Labs FX movement has been very contained and rangebound throughout this week – Data releases haven't been the norm with the BLS drought, but there was still an impressive lack of volatility today.Some outflows from traditional G7 currencies towards other fiats such as the Chinese Yuan, Hong Kong dollar (HKD) and many others.A look at Economic data releasing throughout the weekend and Monday's sessions zoom_out_map For all market-moving economic releases and events, see the MarketPulse Economic Calendar. The weekend calendar is relatively light, with attention ongoing G20 meetings.Sunday brings New Zealand’s Business NZ PSI, which remains in contraction territory, and a full set of Japanese preliminary GDP figures.Monday however should be busier, as per usual, with European Commission Growth Forecasts at 6:00 A.M. to start the week, and continued with Canadian CPI data later at 9:30 A.M.There will be quite a few speakers from the ECB and even more from the Fed.US central bank speakers have gathered quite some attention with the December meeting being gradually more uncertain as time goes – It is only priced at 50% for now.Safe Trades!Follow Elior on Twitter/X for Additional Market News, interactions and Insights @EliorManier Opinions are the authors'; not necessarily that of OANDA Business Information & Services, Inc. or any of its affiliates, subsidiaries, officers or directors.

Week in review – Markets remain very anxious This week finally saw the US government reopen after the longest ever government shutdown, which lasted 43 days.News of the deal initially brought a much-needed rally in stocks on Monday, but throughout the week, markets have been plagued by sudden selloffs without much explanation.NOTE: The Bureau of Labor Statistics will publish the Septemnber NFP (normally published in early October) on Thursday, November 20.As explained in our last weekly outlook, participants remain anxious on themes of high valuations, particularly as key participants like Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang issued warnings on US policies and regulations that he believes will restrain progress in AI.Huang stated that China is only "nanoseconds behind America in AI".Many doubts remain after some warnings from private data releases, like the new weekly ADP series, which indicated an average drop of 11K jobs in the private sector in the past four weeks. This has fueled even more anxiety about how the 1.5-month "data dark age" will ultimately look.Adding to the confusion, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced that due to the lack of collection during the shutdown, the October jobs (NFP) and inflation (CPI) data may never be released.Leavitt claimed the data was "permanently impaired," leaving policymakers "flying blind at a critical period".There has been a decent move higher in equities to finish the week after an even more scary open, but participants are all looking at each other to see who moves first. Most Read:The Stock Market is bleeding – What is going on? Expect to receive more news from the BLS as they resume their operations again.From what it seems, they will be prioritizing November releases.However, the September NFP is expected to be released quickly, as early as next week, as its data was collected prior to the shutdown taking effect.Weekly Performance across Asset Classes zoom_out_map Weekly Asset Performance, November 14, 2025 – Source: TradingView Cryptocurrencies see the most outflows once again in the ongoing risk-deleveraging happening throughout Markets.For the rest, despite enormous volatility, most assets have mean-reverted throughout the week, leading to low weekly changes.But for those who have been actively trading and/or watching the action unfold, everybody can confirm that the week has been far from calm. zoom_out_map Crypto Total Market Cap down another 10% this week – Source: TradingView Read More:Gold (XAU/USD) Price Forecast: Triangle Formation Shows Trader Indecision – Will $4,000 Hold?Bitcoin Drops Below $95,000 – Market Under Pressure as Investor Confidence WanesDXY outlook: The dollar drops after the US Government reopensThe Week Ahead – US September NFP and many Inflation releasesAsia Pacific Markets – A focus on Japan and New Zealand combined with PBoC Rate Decision The upcoming week for APAC markets is dominated by high-impact inflation updates, now focusing mostly on Japan and New Zealand data.AUD traders will still have to log in. Monday starts with the release of the RBA Meeting Minutes, offering a detailed look at the Board's recent interest rate discussions and after another week of positive economic surprise (large beats in Employment, delaying cuts further).The primary domestic indicator will be the Wage Price Index (WPI), due on Tuesday evening (20:30 ET), which is the most critical measure of underlying domestic inflation pressure.For those following China, the PBoC Interest Rate Decision on Wednesday evening (21:15 ET) will attract quite some attention.While no change is expected, communication regarding growth and concerns will be closely watched by all participants; China released some pretty bad data the past week, particularly regarding international trade.Japanese data sets the stage early and provides the week's biggest inflation event. Sunday night brings the preliminary Q3 GDP figures to check the economy's pulse.However , the key macro event for JPY traders is Thursday evening's (19:30 ET) National CPI release, but this one is not as closely compared to the Tokyo CPI (releasing next week).NZD traders will also be quite busy, with the New Zealand Producer Price Index (Q3) releasing Tuesday evening, and followed by their Trade Balance data on Thursday.US, Europe and UK Markets – US September NFP Inflation in Canada, Europe and UK + Some PMI spice The upcoming week for traders is highly polarized, focusing on inflation in Europe, the UK and Canada – The picture is still unclear for US data except for a November 20 Sep NFP release!Starting Monday, CAD traders will welcome the Consumer Price Index (CPI) at 9:30 A.M.

ET) with the release of the Eurozone Core HICP (CPI).The EU will also publish crucial forward-looking sentiment figures on Friday with the HCOB PMIs (4:15 - 5:00 A.M. ET), giving a fresh look at economic activity.As for the US, the week is a waiting game of surprises, particularly with the BLS uncertainty.Traders will look at the interest-rate-sensitive Housing Starts and Permits on Wednesday (8:30 A.M. ET).The market’s real focus will be on potential past releases throughout next week, the New weekly ADP series on Tuesday, and Friday's Michigan Sentiment Survey (11:00 A.M. ET), which offers direct insight into consumer confidence and, more importantly, long-term Inflation Expectations.Of course, the Swiss Franc is on watch as well, with SNB Chair Thomas Jordan speaking on Friday, and any policy hint will move the safe-haven currency that has seen quite some inflows again this week. zoom_out_map For all market-moving economic releases and events, see the MarketPulse Economic Calendar.

Bitcoin plunges below $95,000, erasing nearly all 2025 gains amid rising market uncertainty and fading hopes for a Fed rate cutMassive outflows from Bitcoin ETFs and $1.3 billion in liquidated leveraged positions deepen the sell-off, highlighting weak market liquidity and investor anxietyStrategy Inc. under pressure, as its market value nears the worth of its BTC holdings; Michael Saylor announces new Bitcoin purchases and urges investors to “HODL." On Friday, Bitcoin fell below the $95,000 mark, reaching $94,508 – its lowest level in about six months. Since hitting a record high of $126,251 in early October, the cryptocurrency has lost nearly 25% of its value. It is now dangerously close to erasing all gains made in 2025, with the year-end price of 2024 standing at $93,714. zoom_out_map Bitcoin, daily timeframe, source:TradingView Massive ETF Outflows and Leveraged LiquidationsOne of the key drivers of the decline is the significant capital outflow from Bitcoin-based ETFs. On Thursday alone, approximately $870 million was withdrawn – the second-largest daily outflow since these instruments were launched. The market is still reeling from the mass liquidation on October 10, when around $19 billion in leveraged positions and over $1 trillion in total crypto market capitalization were wiped out. In the last 24 hours, another $1.3 billion in leveraged positions was liquidated, further intensifying selling pressure.Macro Pressure and Weak Liquidity Worsen the OutlookBitcoin’s correction is closely linked to the broader sell-off in risk assets, particularly U.S. tech stocks. Investors are increasingly revising their expectations for the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy. Following recent hawkish remarks from Fed officials, hopes for a rate cut in December have significantly diminished.Adding to the concern is the declining liquidity in the crypto market. Market depth – the ability of the market to absorb large orders without significant price movements – has dropped by around 30% compared to peak levels earlier this year. As a result, even moderate trade volumes can now lead to sharp price swings.Strategy Inc. in Focus as Michael Saylor Steps InStrategy Inc., one of the largest corporate holders of Bitcoin, has also come under pressure. Its stock around 2%, raising concerns that its market value could dip below the value of its BTC holdings (approximately $61 billion). The company’s total enterprise value, including debt and preferred equity, currently stands at $74.8 billion. zoom_out_map Strategy Inc. , daily timeframe, source: TradingView Michael Saylor, Strategy’s co-founder, announced that the firm is “buying a lot” of Bitcoin and promised to reveal more details on Monday. He also urged investors to “HODL” – a call to hold on to their Bitcoin despite the ongoing downturn. The current environment for Bitcoin remains highly volatile and uncertain. The next few trading sessions could be critical in determining whether this is merely a short-term correction or the beginning of a deeper bearish trend.

It seemed like nothing could stop stocks in their flawless rally since the April sprint.Wars, tariffs, a deteriorating labour backdrop, geopolitics — all of it somehow kept resolving into more upside, thanks to peace talks, trade deals, and dovish support from the Federal Reserve.But sometimes, the market’s worst enemy is the market itself. zoom_out_map US Main Indices Daily Outlook, November 14, 2025 – Source: TradingView Stretched valuations, overbought technicals, insider profit-taking, and growing hesitation among highly leveraged participants have produced a lethal combination of sharp selloffs.Volatility has been the norm in 2025 — the real concern now is whether these pullbacks from recent all-time highs turn into something deeper.The picture is red throughout all sectors but tech is starting to lead a pullback that will act as a key element to look at for the rest of the session. zoom_out_map US Equity Heatmap (10:28 A.M.) – November 14, 2025 – Source: TradingView Opportunity or reason to panic?

Asia Market Wrap - Asian Stocks Follow Wall Streets Lead Most Read: Dow Jones & S&P 500 Slip More Than 1%, Focus on US Data Releases as Rate Cut Bets TumbleAsian stock markets tumbled on Friday, joining a worldwide selloff after hawkish comments from Federal Reserve officials dampened hopes for a US interest rate cut next month.This fear, combined with a messy schedule of economic data, caused Wall Street to snap its four-day winning streak with its biggest one-day fall since April, which then spread to Asia.Key regional markets saw steep declines: Japan's Nikkei fell 2%, Australia's resource shares slid 1.4%, and South Korea tumbled by as much as 3.6%. Separately, Chinese stocks also eased 0.9% after new monthly data confirmed that both factory production and retail sales slowed down in October, missing analyst expectations.Take a look at how US markets ended yesterday, sentiment which has spilled over into Asian trade. zoom_out_map Source: LSEG China Industrial Output Hits 14-Month Low China’s industrial production grew by 4.9% in October, which was a significant slowdown from the 6.5% growth in September and missed the expected growth of 5.5%. This was the weakest increase seen since August 2024, mainly because activity slowed down in manufacturing and mining, partly due to the Golden Week national holiday.However, the production of electricity, heat, gas, and water actually accelerated. Despite the overall slowdown, growth was still seen in 29 out of 41 major industries, including very strong performances in the automotive, computer/communications, and shipbuilding sectors. For the first ten months of the year, industrial production has risen by 6.1%.European Session - Cautious Open Expected Early European stock futures showed a mixed start, but the past 24 hours have been difficult for global markets as traders suddenly lost confidence that the US Federal Reserve will cut interest rates in December, now seeing the chance as 50/50. This uncertainty caused global stocks, Treasury bonds, and the US dollar all to fall.Adding to the bad mood, new data confirmed that China's factory production and retail sales grew at their slowest pace in over a year during October. Compounding the issue, Federal Reserve official Neel Kashkari further reduced optimism by stating he opposed the rate cut last month and is still unsure about supporting a cut in December.In early European trading, Euro Stoxx 50 futures were down 0.4%, German DAX futures rose 0.1% and FTSE futures slid 0.5%.On the FX front, the US Dollar (USD) is set to end the week lower, with its overall strength remaining near a two-week low and on track for a 0.4% weekly fall.The Swiss Franc similarly held near its strongest level in over three weeks against the Dollar.Meanwhile, the British Pound fell 0.3%, unable to keep the gains it made overnight against the weaker Dollar.In China, the Yuan hit a one-year high against the Dollar, as local exporters reportedly sold off their dollars after the exchange rate crossed a key level.Currency Power Balance zoom_out_map Source: OANDA Labs Oil prices surged by about 2% on Friday because of renewed worries over global supply after a Ukrainian drone attacked a major oil export hub in Russia, the Black Sea port of Novorossiysk. Russian officials confirmed that the attack early on Friday damaged the oil depot, apartment buildings, and a ship in the port, injuring three crew members.Following this news, both major benchmarks saw significant jumps, with Brent crude futures rising to $64.25 a barrel and US West Texas Intermediate crude climbing to $59.94 a barrel.Gold prices rose on Friday and are set for a weekly gain, primarily supported by a weaker US Dollar. The market is currently waiting for the release of more US economic data to get a better sense of whether the Federal Reserve will still cut interest rates in December, especially following recent comments from Fed officials that sounded against a rate cut.Spot gold was up 0.7% at 4,201.70/oz and has posted a strong overall gain of 5% so far this week.Read More:WTI Oil Up 1.7% as Markets Grapple with Geopolitical Shocks and Structural Supply GlutGold (XAU/USD) Price Forecast: Bullish Breakout Gathers Pace as Fed Pivot Expectations Firm, $4250/oz Incoming?Economic Calendar and Final Thoughts On Friday, markets will be influenced by several major announcements.In terms of company earnings, three large firms are reporting: the German insurer Allianz, the Swiss reinsurance giant Swiss Re, and the British aerospace and defense company Rolls-Royce Holdings.Regarding economic data, attention will be on Europe:France will release its final inflation rate (CPI) for October.The Eurozone will release several important figures, including the first official estimate for economic growth (GDP) in the third quarter, flash data on job changes (Employment flash) for the third quarter, and trade figures (trade balance) for September.Moving to the US and markets will be hoping for more clarity regarding October data and whether or not it will be released. If it is confirmed that the jobs data and CPI data for October is not going to be released, this could add to market uncertainty and leave sentiment fearful heading into the weekend. zoom_out_map For all market-moving economic releases and events, see the MarketPulse Economic Calendar.

This will however depend on the overall market sentiment improving.FTSE 100 Index Daily Chart, November 14, 2025 zoom_out_map Source: TradingView.com (click to enlarge) Follow Zain on Twitter/X for Additional Market News and Insights @zvawda Opinions are the authors'; not necessarily that of OANDA Business Information & Services, Inc. or any of its affiliates, subsidiaries, officers or directors.

Log in to today's North American session Market wrap for November 13The news of the US government reopening yesterday evening did little to stop the bleeding in markets today.Despite the absence of major negative headlines, global markets were hit by a broad and significant correction, spanning both equities and cryptocurrencies.With no clear catalyst to blame, investors seem to be revisiting the tech overvaluation fears that triggered similar selloffs last week. zoom_out_map Bitcoin, Nasdaq and Dow Jones Daily outlook – November 13, 2025. Source: TradingView After an exceptional multi-month rally, sentiment increasingly feels like a market top, and high leverage across assets is amplifying every move. Bitcoin has now slipped back below $100,000, ending a brief period of consolidation above that key psychological level.Gold remains near its highs but is down slightly on the day, and US Treasuries also saw a pullback — leaving one big question: where did the money go?Possibly into hedges: Put options demand appears to be rising sharply, with the VIX surging 15% and breaking above 20, signaling a rapid pickup in fear and protection buying.

Markets head into a busy Friday with Eurozone data in focus and high volatility expectations after today. Eurozone economic highlights are the Eurozone GDP, with growth expected at 0.2% QoQ and 1.3% YoY, alongside employment change and the European Commission’s Economic Growth Forecasts, all of which will help shape expectations for the ECB’s 2026 policy path.Add to the data a cluster of ECB speeches (Escrivá, Elderson twice, and Lane) this makes the morning session particularly dense for EUR traders.The U.S. calendar remains speech-only, with appearances from Schmid, Logan, and Bostic — still no hard data due to the ongoing BLS release delays following the shutdown.Expect some communication from the Bureau in upcoming days to detail when (and if) past releases will get published.Markets are still missing two NFP releases, one CPI and some seven Jobless Claims (without mentioning Retail Sales which was expected tomorrow).

The EUR/USD has gained 1.5% since its November 4th bottom, a move that coincided with dovish US private labor data from the Challenger report.With the U.S. government shutdown beginning to weigh on economic activity, attention has turned toward the Eurozone, which continues to send relatively solid signals: Inflation remains stable in key economies like Germany and France (see comments from Villeroy), while growth, though modest, remains decent with a 52.5 PMI last week and retail sales up 1% year-over-year.As confidence grows in the Eurozone’s more politically stable environment—with a few exceptions such as France—and fund managers continue diversifying away from the U.S. dollar, the euro has seen strong dip-buying flows.Meanwhile, discussions around President Lagarde’s potential successor have emerged, with Knot, Nagel, and De Cos reportedly among the frontrunners—three strong policy voices within the ECB.By the way, these three members tilt more on the hawkish/conservative side for the Euro, which plays a big role in demand for a currency. This conversation is one to track for the upcoming year, as Christine Lagarde's term finishes in 2027 (except for any early resignation on her part).Adding to the supportive tone, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced stricter rules on low-cost Chinese imports, a move interpreted as a sign of European strength, as reflected in today’s market reaction (however, there has been some mean reversion since)Let’s now dive into the EUR/USD rally and spot the key technical levels for the most traded FX pair.

Most Read: The 1.3000 Line in the Sand: Will the GBP/USD Break Higher or Face a Year-End Correction?Wall Street struggled in early trade on Thursday, with the main indexes such as the S&P 500 and Down Jones both sliding more than 1%.This may be a surprise to many given the fact that US President Donald Trump signed a bill ending the longest US Government Shutdown ever. However, the White House comments hint at the possibility that some data gaps are to be permanent and that employment and Consumer Price Index reports for October might never be released.This has no doubt spooked markets with the probability for a December rate cut also dropping below the 50% mark as a result. A sign of the nervousness present in the market.and could be the reason sentiment has taken a bit of a hit. zoom_out_map Source: LSEG Technology and communication stocks were the main reason the market went down. Big companies like Nvidia and Alphabet (Google) saw their stock prices fall, and a popular tech fund called the Magnificent Seven ETF also dropped.However, it wasn't bad news for everyone; Cisco Systems' stock went up after the company announced it expects to make more money than planned this year.In general, investors have been selling expensive technology and AI stocks recently, and using that money to buy stocks in "safer" areas like healthcare. This trend has helped the Dow Jones index reach new record high prices.But, the Dow was also held back by Walt Disney, whose stock dropped sharply because it's signaling a long fight with YouTube TV over carrying its TV channelsS&P 500 Heatmap zoom_out_map Source: TradingView Looking Ahead Market participants will now wait for more information on when US data and what US data will be released. If the jobs data and CPI data for October is not released, this could add to market uncertainty and leave sentiment fearful.Markets have been watching ADP private payrolls data of late which showed that private employers shed over 11,000 jobs a week through late October and Indeed Hiring Lab showed a 16% drop in retail-related job postings in October from a year ago, pointing to continued weakness in the labor market.Despite this several Federal Reserve policymakers have expressed uncertainty about a December rate cut. Comments from policymakers will be eyed later in the day and weeks ahead for more clues.Technical Analysis - Dow Jones Index From a technical perspective, The Dow Jones Index four-hour chart and the price action remains bullish.The previous swing low rests at 47413 which rests just below a confluence area which hosts the 50 and 100-day MA around the 47500 handle.If we get a four-hour candle close below the 47413 handle that would be a change in structure and the probability of a deeper correction will grow.Dow Jones Daily Chart, November 13, 2025 zoom_out_map Source: TradingView (click to enlarge) Follow Zain on Twitter/X for Additional Market News and Insights @zvawda Opinions are the authors'; not necessarily that of OANDA Business Information & Services, Inc. or any of its affiliates, subsidiaries, officers or directors.

Risk assets have been yo-yoing since mid-October, with fundamentals turning increasingly obscure amid the absence of US data, leaving investors hesitant to take on new risk.Cryptocurrencies have also been flashing mixed signals following the early-October rallies in Bitcoin, Solana, and Ethereum.
