Forex and Cryptocurrency Forecast for December 02 – 06, 2024As November draws to a close and December begins, financial markets remain dynamic, shaped by a mix of geopolitical events, monetary policy updates, and investor sentiment shifts. The Eurozone faces persistent economic challenges, weighing on the euro, while gold continues to shine as a safe haven amidst global uncertainty. Meanwhile, the cryptocurrency market, led by bitcoin, is riding a wave of optimism as regulatory developments and institutional interest bolster its upward momentum.
Here’s a detailed analysis of the key instruments,EUR/USD, BTC/USD, and XAU/USD,as we head into the first trading week of December 2024.
EUR/USDThe EUR/USD pair concluded the previous week at 1.0544, remaining within a long-term descending channel. Indicators, including moving averages, confirm a prevailing bearish trend as prices recently broke below key signal levels. However, the potential for a rebound remains.
Early in the week, the pair is expected to test the support level around 1.0345. If this level holds, the pair may see a recovery, with a potential rise toward the resistance area above 1.0735. Such movement could gain support from technical signals, including a test of the RSI support line or a bounce from the channel's lower boundary. On the downside, a decisive break below the 1.0125 level would invalidate the recovery scenario, opening the door for further declines toward 0.9825.
XAU/USD
Gold closed the week at $2,658, continuing its upward movement within an ascending channel. Indicators such as moving averages confirm the strength of the bullish trend, with prices breaching key resistance levels. Despite the positive outlook, a short-term decline may emerge before further growth.
The price is likely to test the $2,525 support level at the beginning of the week. If this level holds, gold could rebound and climb towards $3,005. Signals from the RSI and a bounce from the ascending channel's lower boundary would further support this movement. Conversely, a drop below $2,445 would undermine the bullish scenario, potentially driving prices toward $2,375.
BTC/USDBitcoin ended last week at $97,047, maintaining its upward trajectory within a bullish channel. The cryptocurrency's performance remains underpinned by moving averages and a breakout above key signal areas. While the broader trend is bullish, a short-term correction may precede further gains.
A pullback to the support area near $90,405 could occur early in the week. Following this, bitcoin is expected to resume its ascent, targeting levels above $120,505. Indicators such as a rebound from the bullish channel's lower boundary and RSI trendline support could validate this growth. However, a fall below the $80,505 level would signal a breakdown in the bullish structure and suggest a decline toward $72,665.
The first week of December is set to be a pivotal period for the markets. While EUR/USD remains under bearish pressure, there are opportunities for rebounds if support levels hold. Bitcoin's bullish trend appears intact, though traders should anticipate and prepare for short-term corrections. Gold, as a safe-haven asset, shows strong potential for growth, provided its critical support areas remain unbroken. In light of these dynamics, traders should carefully monitor the markets and adapt their strategies accordingly.
