The Australian dollar is under pressure, hitting a year low due to the strong US dollar and weak housing data from China, with potential further declines if key support levels are breached. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq shows bullish momentum, with traders eyeing a resistance level around 22,350, while the ASX 200 benefits from a Santa Claus rally. Bitcoin continues to rise, surpassing $108,000, although traders should be cautious of potential pullbacks, while gold faces pressure from anticipated interest rate cuts and a stronger dollar, with critical support at $2600.
