Building a Trading Model for Price Action Trading

Gold price closes in on $3,400 as the record rally regains strength on Easter Monday. Concerns over US-China trade war escalation and the Fed’s independence smash the US Dollar to three-year troughs. RSI stays overbought on the daily chart, with thin volumes likely to exaggerate moves in Gold price.

EUR/USD trades roughly 1.5% higher so far this Monday as the relentless US Dollar selling drives it toward the 1.1600 threshold - the highest level since November 2021. Growing concerns over a US economic recession and the Federal Reserve’s autonomy continue to exert downward pressure on the USD.

GBP/USD continues its winning streak, recapturing 1.3400 in European trading on Monday. The extended US Dollar weakness, amid US-Sino trade war-led recession fears and heightened threat to the Fed's independence, continue to underpin the pair. Thin trading is set to extend. 

Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and XRP, the top three cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, extend their last week’s recovery on Monday, even as trader sentiment is hurt by the US President Donald Trump’s tariff policy and announcements.

Will the US strike a trade deal with Japan? That would be positive progress. However, recent developments are not that positive, and there's only one certainty: headlines will dominate markets. Fresh US economic data is also of interest.
