Today, Bitget CFD Chief Analyst Lewis Huang pointed out in an online live broadcast themed "Cooling Interest Rate Hike Expectations: Technical Analysis Takes Over Trends" that the current global financial market is at a critical juncture of alternating macro narratives and market trends. He emphasized that with the recent overall economic data being released, market concerns about the Federal Reserve maintaining an aggressive interest rate hike path have significantly cooled. Against the backdrop of weakening macro fundamental pressures, capital is seeking new directions, and market logic will gradually shift from "news-driven" to "technical-driven."Regarding the current market landscape, Lewis Huang stated that when macro expectations become consistent or stable, "technical analysis will reflect all market information." In the practical analysis segment of the live broadcast, he deeply dissected the latest chart structures of gold, U.S. stocks, and popular stock indices. He pointed out that due to the retreat of interest rate hike risks, non-yielding assets (such as gold) and risk assets (such as stock indices) are showing clearer technical boundaries. He suggested that CFD traders should temporarily reduce their reliance on macro data speculation at this stage and shift their trading focus to price action itself, leveraging key support and resistance levels and trend indicators to flexibly capture trading opportunities in swings and trends under changing market sentiments.
