Recession concerns dominate the headlinesEUR/USD 🔼 GBP/USD 🔽 AUD/USD 🔼 USD/CAD 🔼 USD/JPY 🔽 USD/CHF 🔽 XAU 🔽 WTI 🔽 As the dollar remained strong, EUR/USD reached a 20-year low of 1.0160 on Wednesday. Amidst predictions of a local recession and an impending energy crisis, the shared currency is among the weakest. The GBP/USD exchange rate fluctuates about 1.1930, under pressure as the UK government crisis intensifies. Over thirty officials resigned, and many others begged Boris Johnson to quit. The 1922 Committee, comprised of Conservative backbenchers, sought to alter the rules that shield PM Johnson from the second vote of no confidence. The FOMC issued the Minutes of its most recent meeting. The memo demonstrated that Federal Reserve officials concurred that rising inflation necessitated restrictive interest rates and are willing to become even more stringent if inflation persists. In addition, most respondents perceived an adverse risk to growth and a "substantial danger" that rising inflation may stay entrenched. The US Federal Reserve opened the door for another 75 basis point rate rise. Wall Street struggled to register gains throughout the day, but significant indices ended higher. Although the FOMC Minutes' hawkish tone, policymakers refrained from discussing a 100 basis point (bps) rate rise, despite committing to do everything necessary to combat inflation. In addition, policymakers abstained from discussing the recession. The yield curve for US Treasuries remains inverted. Currently, the 10-year note yields 2.93 percent, while the 2-year note yields 2.97 percent. Typically, an inverted curve is viewed as an early indicator of a recession. Against the U.S. dollar, commodity-based currencies exhibited minimal movement. The AUD/USD exchange rate is around 0.6780, while the USD/CAD exchange rate is approximately 1.3040. The USD/CHF exchange rate touched a new monthly high of 0.9743, while the USD/JPY pair finished at 135.85. Gold reached a new 2022 low of $1,732.19 per troy ounce before the end of the trading day. The current price of a barrel of WTI crude oil is $98.40. More information on Mitrade website.

usoilIf 5 waves are in off the march 2020 lows during the covid crash then we topped around $130. We should now correct the entire move in the ABC which looks like a Flat because wave A was very shallow. This means that as long as wave B is in already then Wave C should be 5 waves down and test the golden fib ratio around $58. As the ABC reveals itself I would expect it to be not very neat and clean as I am forecasting today and probably develop into a very complex double or even triple correction to wipe out all the bulls. So this is just a preliminary forecast. We will be looking to buy this dip with crypto win profits because after the correction to USOIL is complete we should expect a new impulsive 5 up to start and go way past $130.

USOUSD OIL,Yesterday's buyer fightback to push a new leg higher?Thanks for tunning in TradingView community. Today we're looking at USOUSD oil and wondering if yesterday's price rejection could lead to a new leg higher from buyers. So far this week, we have seen mixed trade with buyers coming close to breaking last week's high before sellers took hold and set up a two-day retracement. It would have been three, but buyers had other ideas yesterday, stopping sellers once they tested 112.75. Buyers quickly took price back up above 117 and posted a higher close for the session. Today so far price has been on the quieter side. If we can see a new move above yesterday's high, we will be looking for a new up leg, but if sellers can close below 115.14 this could be a warning that the current retracement could have further to go. If we do see a new leg higher would look for price to possibly get back into the 120/21 area if buyers can maintain momentum. Happy Friday, all. We hope everyone has a lovely weekend and good trading.

Has Silver started a new leg lower? Hello, TradingView community. We hope you’re all having a solid session so far. Silver's daily chart has caught our attention today as price formed a solid move lower yesterday, and sellers have broken the low in today’s session. This could be a confirmation that the recovery trend has started to fail. On top of the price pattern, the MA is pointing lower, and the CCI is in its bearish zone. We want to see price close below yesterday’s low and test/break the May 19th low to give this idea more credit. If we sellers can hold momentum and break 21.27, this could show strong seller momentum, and if other factors back up the momentum, we could even see a new move back to the 20.60 area. But, we are looking for sellers to close below yesterday’s low to give yesterday’s move further confirmation. The same pattern can also be seen on gold’s daily chart. Good trading.

USOUSD Oil, continuation higher watch.Good morning/good afternoon TradingView community. Today's video idea is focused on oil as we saw a solid reversal yesterday sellers did their best to get a new leg lower going. Buyers not only stopped the run but put in a solid reversal bar that finished above the 50% point of the previous lower bar. This action has us thinking, could this be the start of a new trend continuation? We are watching to see if buyers can break yesterday's high. A break could be the starting point of confirmation of this idea. The MA and CCi both support further buying, but we really want to see yesterday's high beaten to show that buyers retain momentum. Please check out our video for more detail on our trade idea. Good trading. We hope everyone has a great weekend.
