Taking a step back – key long-term market charts and levels

[Redator]

It is very easy to get lost in the day-to-day action of trading.

As headlines arrive by the hundreds, market narratives are often obscured by short-term movements; a small mean-reverting day can seem like the end of the world as we know it, even when the broader picture remains unchanged.

Hence, as a trader, it is always beneficial to review the higher timeframes to confirm the current trends for most assets, spot any potential hurdle or pattern emerging and to identify key levels that may come into play in the upcoming days and weeks.

Today, we will analyze the Weekly charts for the S&P 500, Bitcoin, Oil, Dollar Index and Gold.
