Forex Commentary:
The U.S. dollar gained strength today as European countries that are heavily in debt were back in the headlines, the cost of protecting the government debt against default rose substantially in the past week in Ireland, Portugal and Spain.
The euro hit its lowest level in more than a week against the dollar, hitting a low of 1.3750 today. The dollar was up against a basket of currencies, as the greenback surged on the back of currency market uncertainty today.
Trading Setups / Chart in Focus:
GOLD
Gold formed a couple of good pin bar setups last week that have since pushed higher and netted savvy traders some very decent pips.
We posted last Friday’s pin bar in the member’s commentary before it came off, it has since broke through resistance and made what was an all time high. Price has rotated lower into today’s New York close, but this setup could have provided a 1 to 2 risk / reward if it was traded correctly. The pin bar setup from November 3rd worked out very well.
