The current week in the financial markets has been particularly interesting, as the “Super FOMO rally” for Gold persisted, driving the price of the metal to above $4300. Other markets wobbled without any significant development, with S&P500 having locked in the range between $6500 and $6700.

For the present moment, Gold has made an unstoppable upward move for around 2 months in a row without significant corrections, which is the absolute record for many years. As the “fear of missing out” attitude moves to the retail sector, as people are building in queues to buy and sell physical Gold around the globe, the peak of the rally might be achieved soon. However, it’s difficult to predict the exact points of reversal, as the bullish trend.

On Friday last week, the US president Donald Trump had softened the rhetoric, stock indices rebounded on Friday, sending the S&P 500 to its best day since August. Gold and metals have corrected from peaks, displaying some relief for the “Super FOMO rally”.

The government shutdown in the US still continues, which has put on hold some important economic publications, such as the US inflation, for example (the anticipated publication was on Oct 15th). The next date of the publication is scheduled for Oct 24th.

This week, traders will look forward to speeches of several FED’s members, and the expected US inflation on Friday. The expected crude oil stocks change will be published on Wednesday.

In this review, we will focus on several trading opportunities, which might potentially unfold this week.

JPM

The JP Morgan stock is testing the dynamic support area, moving inside the 14-day swing from the peak of 29th of September, 2025. The downside move may reverse off the support zone, as the swing is already mature, and according to statistical studies, directional moves rarely last for more than 16 days for this instrument.

If volatility in the market bounces back and the relief rhetoric from Donald Trump improves the sentiment, markets may exhale this week, with a focus on the financial sector, and strong names such as JPMorgan.

The expected target area may be around $309-310.

USD/CAD

USDCAD is moving inside of a rising wedge above the dynamic support zone and may resume the upswing this week, as the US dollar index may get support after softening rhetoric of Donald Trump. Yields of 30-year bonds of Canada have declined, but with less volatility than for the US treasuries.

The weakness of Crude oil futures pressures CAD against the USD, and focuses traders on the long side of USDCAD in the near future. The position of the price of USDCAD is above 200-day moving average, which boosts the bullish momentum for this currency pair.
