Ceasefire Signed, Markets React — Time to Trade the Turn?

In partnership with

Ceasefire Relief, Dollar Strength & Technical Clarity

Markets shifted gears this week as geopolitical tensions eased with the Gaza ceasefire, prompting a pullback in safe-haven assets like gold and oil. The S&P 500 retreated from record highs, while Bitcoin dipped below $121K before rebounding — a classic unwind of defensive trades.

The U.S. dollar, however, rallied across the board, defying shutdown concerns and benefiting from repositioning and safe-haven flows. Fed commentary remained cautious, with Governor Barr urging restraint on rate cuts amid inflation risks.

Meanwhile, technical analysis continues to offer clarity in choppy conditions. From EUR/NZD’s pullback to WTI’s correction and EUR/GBP’s resistance test, chart setups are proving to be reliable guides when headlines blur the macro picture.

The theme? When fundamentals pause and politics distract, technicals become the compass.

⚡Daily Broad Market Recap – October 9, 2025

  • S&P 500 pulled back 0.39% from record highs; gold dipped 1.59% to $3,977.

  • Oil fell over 1% to $61 on ceasefire relief; Bitcoin dropped 1.5% to $121,045.

🔥Gaza War Ceasefire: Market Reaction

  • Israel and Hamas signed a ceasefire, easing geopolitical risk.

  • Oil and gold pulled back; Middle Eastern equities rallied.

  • USD gained as safe-haven flows rotated and shutdown concerns lingered.

This issue blends geopolitical relief with technical precision. As ceasefire headlines fade and the dollar flexes, traders are reminded that clean charts often speak louder than noisy news — and that setups thrive when sentiment resets.

Happy Trading!
