Forex Market Sentiment Strategies

In forex trading, high performance often hinges not only on fundamental knowledge and technical analysis skills but also on the collective psychology of market participants. Leveraging market sentiment can thus be effective. This article discusses forex market sentiment, unravelling its nuances, exploring key indicators and sources, and offering strategies you may use to integrate sentiment analysis with technical indicators.

Understanding Forex Market Sentiment

Market sentiment in forex encompasses the collective mood and attitude of traders towards a particular currency pair. Traders often categorise market sentiment into various types, primarily:

Bullish Sentiment: Indicates an optimistic outlook, where traders expect the price of a currency to rise.
Bearish Sentiment: Reflects a pessimistic outlook, suggesting that participants expect a currency's value to decline.

Market Sentiment Indicators and Sources

Sentiment analysis in trading requires research into specific indicators and data sources, allowing for the integration of market psychology with objective market data.

Dollar Declines Following Weak Macroeconomic Data

The final trading week of November may prove to be the worst this month for the US dollar. Following the release of Chicago PMI data and the US Q3 GDP report, USD/JPY and USD/CAD have fallen to key support levels.

USD/JPY

A retest of the critical resistance level at 156.00 proved decisive for USD/JPY buyers. The rejection from this level confirmed the previously formed "bearish engulfing" pattern and led to losses exceeding 400 pips. Yesterday, the price fell below the 152.00–151.50 range, which had initiated the pair’s rally after Donald Trump's election victory. In upcoming trading sessions, this range may be retested, but now as resistance. If buyers fail to hold above 152.00, a further downtrend toward 150.00–149.00 is possible.

Key upcoming events that could shape USD/JPY’s trajectory include:

• Today at 17:00 (GMT +3): Dallas Fed Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Index (US)
• Tomorrow at 02:50 (GMT +3): Japanese Industrial Production data
• Tomorrow at 17:45 (GMT +3): Chicago PMI report (US)

Brent Crude Oil Consolidates Ahead of OPEC+ Meeting

The ATR indicator on the XBR/USD chart has dropped to its lowest level since early autumn, signalling reduced volatility. This likely reflects market participants awaiting announcements from the OPEC+ meeting scheduled for 1 December.

Overall, Brent crude prices remain under pressure due to:
→ reduced tensions in the Middle East, with reports this week confirming a ceasefire agreement between Israel and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah;
→ news of rising crude oil inventories in the U.S.;
→ forecasts of slower oil demand growth from China in 2025.

On the other hand, the $70-71 range serves as strong support, marked by key lows from 2023-2024.

HP Inc. (HPQ) Shares Drop 11%

HP Inc. (HPQ) shares plummeted 11% following the release of its quarterly earnings report:

→ Earnings per share (EPS): Actual = $0.93, Expected = $0.93
→ Revenue: Actual = $14.05 billion, Expected = $13.09 billion

While HP Inc.'s reported revenue and EPS aligned closely with analysts’ expectations, the market was disappointed by its forward guidance. According to FactSet, the company forecast EPS for the next quarter at $0.73, falling short of the $0.85 expected by analysts.

As a result, HPQ shares dropped below $35 for the first time since October 1. Is now the time to buy shares in this leading provider of PCs and high-tech products?

USD/JPY Chart Analysis: Bears Target the 150 Yen per Dollar Level

Thanksgiving in the U.S. might have been expected to bring calm to financial markets, but Forex trading in Asia tells a different story following the release of Japan's Consumer Price Index (CPI).

According to Forex Factory:
→ Actual = 2.2%
→ Forecast = 2.0%
→ Previous = 1.8%

Signs of sustained inflation growth have spurred currency market participants to buy yen, speculating that the Bank of Japan might raise interest rates. The upcoming December meeting could see rates increased to 0.5%, which would mark the highest level since 2008.

As a result, the yen strengthened by approximately 1% today, hitting its highest level in six weeks and briefly dipping below the psychological level of 150 yen per dollar.

What Is the Difference Between Brent and WTI Crude Oil for Traders?

Brent Crude and WTI are two of the most important oil benchmarks in the world, influencing global markets and trading strategies. While both represent high-quality crude, they differ in origin, composition, pricing, and market dynamics. This article explores questions like “What is Brent Crude?”, “What is WTI Crude?”, and “What is the difference between Brent and crude oil from West Texas?”, helping traders navigate their unique characteristics.

Brent Oil vs Crude Oil from West Texas

Brent Crude and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) are two primary benchmarks in the global oil market, each representing distinct qualities and origins.

What Is Brent Crude Oil?

Brent Crude originates from the North Sea, encompassing oil from fields between the United Kingdom and Norway, like Brent, Forties, Oseberg, Ekofisk, and Troll. This region's offshore production benefits from direct access to sea routes, facilitating efficient transportation to international markets. The North Sea's strategic location allows Brent Crude to serve as a global pricing benchmark and influence oil prices worldwide.

This blend is slightly heavier and contains more sulphur compared to WTI. Despite this, Brent Crude is extensively traded and serves as a pricing reference for about two-thirds of the world's oil contracts, primarily on the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE).

MicroStrategy (MSTR) Stock Price Surged Over 60% in November

According to the MicroStrategy Incorporated (MSTR) stock chart:
→ At the start of November, the stock price was around $244;
→ Last Friday, it closed just below $395;
→ This represents a more than 60% increase in MSTR’s price over the month, making it one of the top performers on the U.S. stock market;
→ At its peak on 21 November, the stock traded above $520, reflecting a 115% surge in just three weeks.

Two key drivers supported the bullish sentiment:

1. Bitcoin holdings by MicroStrategy.
According to Benzinga, the company owns nearly 2% of the global Bitcoin supply, a figure projected to rise to 4% by 2023. The current surge in BTC/USD towards $100,000 has significantly increased MicroStrategy's value. Co-founder Michael Saylor stated that the company earns an average of $500 million daily from its Bitcoin investments.

2. Market capitalisation milestones.
In November, MicroStrategy's market capitalisation exceeded $100 billion for the first time. On this note, Seeking Alpha highlighted the potential for MicroStrategy's inclusion in the Nasdaq 100 index. This could prompt large funds tracking the index to purchase MSTR shares for their portfolios.

Direct Access Trading Systems

Direct access trading systems (DATS) offer traders a direct line to financial markets. By bypassing traditional brokerage routes, DATS enable swift, precise trading, essential for strategies reliant on speed and accuracy. This FXOpen article delves into the workings, benefits, and considerations of DATS, providing valuable insights for both seasoned and aspiring traders navigating the fast-paced world of modern trading.

Understanding Direct Access Trading Systems

Direct access trading systems (DATS) revolutionise how traders interact with financial markets, typically in the realm of stock trading. Unlike traditional brokerage platforms, these systems offer direct market access trading, a method allowing traders to place orders directly into the market's electronic order book. Such immediate access is crucial for those who require precision and speed in their trading decisions.

Traditionally, orders placed through brokers are processed internally before reaching the market, potentially causing delays. However, brokers with direct market access provide a conduit for traders to bypass these intermediate steps. These systems typically appeal to day traders and other short-term investors who value the ability to respond swiftly to market movements.

Yen Strengthens on Rate Hike Expectations; Euro Tests Recent Lows

USD/JPY

Over the past week, the USD/JPY pair dropped by approximately 500 pips. As anticipated, sellers tested the critical 150.00–149.00 range. This level may serve as the starting point for an upward corrective rebound.

The sharp decline in USD/JPY is likely tied to recent comments from the Bank of Japan’s Governor, Kazuo Ueda, hinting at a potential rate hike soon. He noted that "economic data is progressing as planned." Following Tokyo's inflation data showing an uptick and increased business investments, experts now predict the BoJ may raise rates by 0.5% at its December meeting.

Technical analysis suggests USD/JPY may begin an upward correction after its sharp fall, as a reversal "doji" candlestick pattern has formed on the daily timeframe.

If the 149.00–148.60 range holds as support, the pair could strengthen towards 151.50–151.00. However, a break below yesterday’s low may resume the downtrend towards 147.00–146.00.
