-6,966 USD | Is the $4,000 Gold Market Real? → Pullback Buy Strategy Continues
✅ Weekly P/L (Nov 3–Nov 7)
-6,966 USD
The early part of the week saw losses expand due to unfavorable entries in cross-yen pairs.
However, those losses were gradually absorbed in the second half of the week as position adjustments and capital allocation revisions worked effectively.
🧭 Market Environment for Next Week (Nov 10 Week)
This week will feature:
-
Expectations surrounding Japan’s new administration
-
Ongoing U.S. rate cut debates
-
Uncertainty from the U.S. government shutdown
➡ A market where direction is unclear, but price swings can still be large.
🇯🇵 Japan: New Cabinet will influence yen trends
A cooperation framework between the LDP and Japan Innovation Party is secured, with Sanae Takaichi effectively confirmed as Prime Minister.
Expected policy stance:
-
Fiscal expansion + continuation of monetary easing
→ Often compared to “Sanaenomics.”
Implication:
Seen as yen-weakening friendly, making it easier for USD/JPY downside to remain supported.
However:
-
Finance Minister Jōnai’s funding scandal remains a political risk → may trigger temporary yen spikes.
🇺🇸 U.S.: CPI came in weak, but markets did not react cleanly
-
Both headline and core CPI were below expectations → supports rate cut probability
-
But the government shutdown complicates the picture:
| Issue | Impact |
|---|---|
| Official data releases delayed | Less reliable macro signals |
| Market relies on alternative indicators | Overreactions occur easily |
➡ Dollar will likely rotate between Buybacks ⇄ Selling, lacking sustained direction.
💱 Trading Strategy by Currency
USD/JPY
Expected to fluctuate within 151.50–155.00.
-
Yen-weak backdrop remains
-
But 154.70–155.00 is heavy with selling supply
| Price Zone | Strategy |
|---|---|
| 152.70–153.10 | Buy dips |
| 154.70–155.00 | Take profit / reduce exposure |
EUR/USD
Eurozone growth remains sluggish → rallies likely to be sold.
| Price Zone | Action |
|---|---|
| 1.1600–1.1650 | Sell rallies |
| 1.1350–1.1400 | Take profit on shorts / buy to cover |
GBP
-
Weighed down by tax hike expectations + BOE dovish tilt
→ Better suited for short-term tactical trading, not trend positioning.
AUD
Direction unclear until Nov 13 Australian employment data →
✅ “Not trading is also a strategy.”
📅 Key Events Next Week
| Date | Event | Market Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Nov 10 | BoJ “Summary of Opinions” / Takaichi cabinet policy outline | Whether yen-weak stance continues |
| Nov 11 | UK Employment / US Bond Market Holiday | Low liquidity → High volatility risk |
| Nov 13 | AU Jobs / US CPI (may be delayed) | Main turning point of the week |
| Nov 14 | US Retail Sales / EU & China data | Often a “direction-settling day” |
✅ Final Summary (One-Liner)
This is not a week to aim for big wins — it’s a week to ride the waves.
Risk management and positioning matter more than directional conviction.
📜 Weekly Commentary — “Your Gut Sends Signals, Just Like the Market”
The gut reacts to more than food:
-
Stress
-
Sleep quality
-
Daily rhythm
➡ It acts as a sensor of overall condition.
Markets behave the same way:
-
Don’t watch only price — watch market condition and tone.
| Gut Signal | Market Signal | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Bloating / discomfort | Increased volatility / changing momentum | Stress or imbalance is building |
| Irregular lifestyle | Overtrading / news overload | Reset is needed |
| Stress reaction | Emotional trading | Calmness becomes priority |
Both gut and market send “small warning signs first.”
The key is noticing them.
✅ Key Takeaways
-
When volatility increases, don’t rush decisions
-
If stressed → step away from the screen
-
Sleep & physical condition are part of trading performance
When the body is unstable, decision-making becomes unstable.
So, stabilizing daily routine = stabilizing your win rate.
🌿 Closing Words
“Your gut is honest. The market is honest.”
The small discomfort, the unusual emotion, the move you wouldn’t normally make —
those are the signals that separate survivors from the rest.
Next week, watch the market and your own condition with equal attention.
Have a calm and steady week. 👋
