1.1360/1.1340 support
During the EU summit, the UK and the EU reached a draft of the Brexit, but the market worried that the Spanish government intends to oppose the draft of the Brexit, so that the Brexit agreement could not be finalized and continue to affect the performance of Euro.

GBPUSD
1.2815/1.2835 resistance
1.2765/1.2740 support

It is believe that the current US dollar is weak, and there is a chance to further explore the low. However, it is necessary to pay attention to the British government and the Prime Minister's remarks. If the speech is positive, there is an opportunity to boost the pound's resistance to the 1.2850.
 
USDCHF 
0.9935/0.9920 support
0.9965/0.9980 resistance

112.75/112.55 support

0.7275/0.7295 resistance
0.7220/0.7200 support

At present, we are closely monitoring the impact of oil price performance on the Canadian dollar.
 
EUR/GBP
0.8925/0.8945 resistance
0.8880/0.8865 support
A few days ago, Euro and the pound have fallen by a hundred points, but the magnitude is the same. It has not affected the volatility of the euro against the pound. The euro is currently performing better and maintaining the upward trend of the euro against the pound. If the pound falls, the euro may rise to the pound.
 
EURCHF 
1.1340/1.1355 resistance
1.1300/1.1280 support
The Brexit issue continues to worry, Italy's finances may be sanctioned by the EU, causing the euro to fall, while the Swiss franc is performing normally, causing the euro to fall against the Swiss franc. If Euro may decline future in the near future, the euro may further decline against the Swiss franc.
 
XAUUSD 
1228/1230 resistance
1222/1220 support
The Brexit problem in the UK has created new risks, and the price of gold has increased due to risk aversion. In addition, the new news means that the Fed may stop raising interest rates after a possible interest rate hike in December, so that gold will once again test for $1,230. But the stock market returns strengthened, gold may go down. At present, long and short positions are in competition and attention is paid to trading risks.
 
US crude oil futures:
55.55/56.05 resistance
53.90/53.50 support
Earlier, the oil group agreed to cut production next month, and the Fed intends to suspend interest rate hikes, which once stimulated the rise in demand for crude oil. It is expected that the supply of crude oil will have the opportunity to reduce the price of oil. The reduction in US crude oil inventories is expected to return oil prices to US$55 and then US$58. The winter starts , crude oil demand generally rises and oil prices are expected to rise.
 
BTCUSD:
4680 / 4920 resistance 
4060 / 3875 support 
US Fed intends interest rate hike and US government starting to control and setting legal regulation to all crypto currencies, it made the demand changed.  Some crypto miners said they already stop mining, probably let the bitcoin price stable. However, the crypto currencies may keep downward until next FOMC meeting in mid-December. The  downside target may test lower support. If the bitcoin break USD4680 resistance, hopefully, that can be change the trend.
