Markets are under pressure from several directions. The AI trade is unwinding, the Fed has turned hawkish, oil is at $100, and the US midterms add another layer of uncertainty. Is this the time to cut risk or to start buying? It comes down to risk-reward. Below, we lay out the technical setups for the Nasdaq, the S&P 500, and gold, what we are watching, and the instruments we would use to express our preferred trades. The charts tell a clear story. Before committing capital, traders need to decide whether to protect profits or build long exposure, and we explain which direction we think the market will move next.
Gold - broken uptrend? Or is this a new buying opportunity?
