As the US Presidential Election got called in favor of the Democratic representative Joe Biden, by most media outlets, the US Dollar continues to plummet across the board.
USD under pressure
When analyzing the currency on an equally-weighted basis, it can be safely stated that the USD has been underperforming by losing nearly 2% vs its main peers. And no matter which USD cross you look at, each and every one communicates the same story – USD sellers have a clear upper hand.
Technical prospects
After dissecting the technical merits, I found the EUR/USD testing bids near-by 1.19, which represents the highest levels since September 17th this year.
What I found extremely interesting is that in the last 24 hours, after applying my proprietary trap traders pattern setup, I could hold a long exposure in the EUR/USD.
If you take a peek at the GBP/USD, you will definitely see a positive change – the moment you can break and accept beyond 1.3180 (highest on October 21st) and key technical inflection point.
The measures of momentum (SMT indicator) and structures (Fractals Breakout Indicator) both communicate confidence and great expectations in the GBP/USD. The shallow dip through 1.31, last Friday, was convincingly rejected off the 13-wma, which reinforces the positive outlook.
As I shift attention toward the commodity-linked currencies, the technical prospects look even more compelling. The AUD/USD delivered a price action that broke a key structural level at 0.7150.
The US Dollar is similarly ‘gripping’ when cross-checked against other commodity-linked currencies, the NZD or the CAD, where both are technically positioned to keep ensuring further gains.
What about the USD positioning against the Japanese Yen or Gold? This is where the weakness of the USD lies. The strong rise in the US equities since the Election Day has had no effects in slowing down the depreciation of the USD against these two assets. This action seals the notion that what we are witnessing is a strong run of capital outflows in the USD.

MARKET STRUCTURES
Markets evolve in cycles followed by a period of distribution and/or accumulation. To understand the principles applied in the assessment of market structures, refer to this video. Fractal breakouts is at the epicenter to assist us in the analysis of chart structures.
MARKET MOMENTUM
In order to assess the market momentum of a particular asset, I’ve promoted for years the idea of using what I call the smart money tracker. The settings and the indicator can be obtained via our Discord room, where traders from all walks of life interact frequently. Watch this video where I go through the layout and all elements of the Discord room in great detail.
PROJECTION TARGETS
The usefulness of the 100% projection resides in the symmetry and harmonic relationships of market cycles. By drawing a 100% projection, you can anticipate the area in the chart where some type of pause and potential reversals in price is likely to occur, due to 1. The side in control of the cycle takes profits 2. Counter-trend positions are added by contrarian players 3. These are price points where limit orders are set by market-makers.
