Hanging Man vs Hammer: What Is the Difference?
Daily Market Analysis By FXOpen in Fundamental_JyOBIKFy_o

Candlestick patterns reveal how buyers and sellers interact within a single session, often hinting at potential turning points. The hammer and hanging man patterns look identical but tell completely different stories depending on where they appear. This article explains the difference between hammer and hanging man candlesticks, their structure, and how they?re traded.

The Hammer Pattern Explained
A hammer is one of the visual signs that selling pressure is weakening. It forms after a decline and has a small real body near the top of the candle, a long lower shadow, and little to no upper wick. The long shadow shows that sellers drove the price down during the session, but buyers managed to push it back up before the close?a sign that downside momentum may be fading.

For the pattern to count as a hammer, the lower shadow is usually at least twice the height of the body. The candle can be any colour, but a green or bullish hammer often reflects stronger buying interest by the end of the session.

Some traders mistakenly refer to a hammer forming mid-trend as a reversal candlestick, but that?s inaccurate. The hammer only signals potential reversal when it appears after a clear decline.

Nasdaq 100 Analysis: Early November Movements Raise Concerns
Daily Market Analysis By FXOpen in Fundamental_Yd7usxtw_o

As the chart shows, the Nasdaq 100 index (US Tech 100 mini on FXOpen) gained around 6% in October, supported by several key factors:

→ The meeting between US President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping, which helped ease tensions in trade relations between the world?s two largest economies.
→ A 0.25% rate cut by the Federal Reserve.
→ Positive earnings from major tech companies, including a strong report from Alphabet (GOOGL).

However, the market?s behaviour in early November is cause for concern ? on the morning of 4 November, the stock index fell to its lowest level in a week. Bearish sentiment is being fuelled by:

→ uncertainty over the timing of the end of the government shutdown;
→ a weaker-than-expected ISM Manufacturing PMI report, which may reflect the impact of Trump?s tariffs on US industry.

Today, 4 November, after the close of the main trading session, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) is set to release its quarterly earnings report and outline its plans for the near future.

→ IBM announced a breakthrough in quantum computing made possible through the use of AMD chips.

Buoyed by this wave of positive news and high expectations, AMD?s share price climbed above the psychological $250 mark (+61% since early October), reaching a record high.

The Dollar Index Near a Key High
Daily Market Analysis By FXOpen in Fundamental_Z84O8Gay_o

As shown on the Dollar Index (DXY) chart, the strength of the US currency is currently hovering near an important high reached in August. Market sentiment is being influenced by:

→ the ongoing government shutdown, which has already become the longest in history;
→ traders? assessment of last week?s developments, including the Fed?s interest rate cut, the meeting between the US and Chinese presidents in South Korea, and quarterly earnings reports from major corporations.

Adding to the turbulence is the political factor: according to media reports, Democrats have achieved victories in several local elections. Notably, Zohran Mamdani ? a Muslim candidate from the Democratic Party ? has been elected Mayor of New York for the first time.

Nikkei 225 Plunges from Record High
Daily Market Analysis By FXOpen in Fundamental_VRa1Uj7d_o

As the chart shows, the Nikkei 225 stock index (Japan 225 on FXOpen) formed a historic peak around 52,500 points only yesterday ? but today it has fallen sharply, with losses at the session low reaching approximately 7%.

Bearish sentiment was fuelled in part by a slump in shares of Japanese investment giant SoftBank, which dropped by around 14%. The company?s heavy exposure to sectors linked to artificial intelligence and cryptocurrencies, both currently under pressure, has raised investor concerns.

The decline in the Nikkei 225 appears to be an extension of the sell-off in US technology stocks recorded yesterday, driven by a stronger dollar and growing fears of an AI-fuelled bubble.

Euro at the Lower End of the Range, Pound Under Pressure Ahead of the Bank of England Meeting
Daily Market Analysis By FXOpen in Fundamental_29gBsKOV_o

Daily Market Analysis By FXOpen in Fundamental_29gBsKOV_o

European currencies remain under pressure for the third consecutive week: the euro is consolidating near the lower boundary of its range, while the pound continues to decline ahead of tomorrow?s Bank of England meeting. The pressure on both pairs persists amid growing uncertainty across global markets. An additional factor is the risk of the ongoing US government shutdown, which could delay the release of key data and influence assessments of the Federal Reserve?s monetary outlook.

Investors are maintaining a cautious stance: the Bank of England meeting, scheduled for tomorrow, could set the tone for the pound in the coming weeks. The market is divided in its expectations ? some participants anticipate that the regulator will keep rates unchanged but adopt a softer tone in its comments, while others expect hints of a possible rate cut later in the year. Any signs of dovish rhetoric could further weigh on the pound, particularly in light of weak domestic data and growing evidence of economic cooling.

Liquidity Grabs: Identification and Trading Strategies
Daily Market Analysis By FXOpen in Fundamental_yGC1sEeM_o

Have you ever seen prices suddenly spike beyond a key level, only to sharply reverse? That may have been a liquidity grab, one of the major components of Smart Money trading. Understanding this concept may help traders anticipate where price may go next. In this article, we explore what liquidity grabs are, how to detect them, and how they may fit into a trading strategy.

Understanding Liquidity in Trading
Liquidity is about the ability to buy or sell an asset without causing a sharp price movement. High liquidity is characterised by a dense presence of buyers and sellers, resulting in tight spreads?the small difference between ask and bid prices?and potentially smoother price movements. Conversely, low liquidity involves fewer participants and wider spreads, leading to potentially abrupt price changes even with small trades.

The level of liquidity can vary dramatically depending on several factors, including the time of day, prevailing market events, and specific price levels. For example, major currency pairs like EUR/USD experience higher liquidity during overlapping trading hours between New York and London markets, facilitating smoother transactions.

Dollar Steadies Near Highs as Markets Await Fresh Signals
Daily Market Analysis By FXOpen in Fundamental_pXAP8rmF_o

The US dollar is consolidating after reaching new local highs, holding near key technical levels amid mixed macroeconomic data. The Dollar Index remains close to the upper boundary of its recent range, reflecting a balance between weak domestic indicators and steady demand for safe-haven assets as uncertainty surrounding the US government shutdown persists.

Data released on Wednesday by ADP showed employment growth of just 42K, signalling a cooling labour market and potential slowdown in private-sector activity. The ISM business activity indices for the services and manufacturing sectors displayed mixed trends, reinforcing concerns about the pace of the economic recovery.

Gold Price Surges Above $4,000
Daily Market Analysis By FXOpen in Fundamental_9Qb3aRQ9_o

As the chart shows, XAU/USD climbed above the $4,000 mark today, a move likely driven by:

→ Weakness in the US dollar index ? or a pullback from the resistance level discussed in yesterday?s DXY analysis.

→ Concerns over the ongoing US government shutdown ? according to media reports, one consequence has been that American airlines began limiting ticket sales in November.

Palantir Technologies (PLTR) Shares Fall Despite Strong Earnings
Daily Market Analysis By FXOpen in Fundamental_XAGQbEhA_o

Palantir Technologies (PLTR), a company specialising in big data analytics software, released a strong quarterly report this week:

→ Earnings per share: actual = $0.21, expected = $0.17
→ Revenue: actual = $1.181 billion (up 63% year-on-year), forecast = $1.09 billion

Palantir thus reaffirmed its status as a leader in the field of artificial intelligence. Yet, despite the impressive results, PLTR shares fell following the release. Why?

It is likely that much of the optimism had already been priced in during the company?s 150% rally earlier this year. In other words, the drop in PLTR?s share price appears to have been driven purely by market sentiment and overly high expectations, rather than any weakness in the company?s fundamentals.

Understanding Candlestick Wicks: Basics and Techniques
Daily Market Analysis By FXOpen in Fundamental_e4xPZdES_o

Candlestick wicks often contain critical information about buying and selling pressure that body patterns alone may not reveal. By analysing wick length and position, traders can understand price rejection, momentum shifts, and liquidity zones. In this article, we explain the meaning of candlestick wicks and outline several strategies traders may use.

Understanding Candle Wicks
You likely know this already, but to recap: candle wicks, or shadows, are the thin lines above and below a candlestick?s body that indicate how far the price moved during a specific period. Candle wicks, extending beyond the body of the candlestick, offer a deeper insight into market dynamics than open and close price levels. Their lengths and positions relative to the candle body unveil the tug-of-war between buyers and sellers within a given timeframe.

A long wick candle to the upside suggests that buyers pushed the price higher, but sellers eventually overcame, driving the price down from its peak. Conversely, a lengthy lower wick indicates sellers initially dominated, with buyers making a strong comeback.
