The Bitcoin pullback has now taken a deeper turn and we have fallen back to $40k which is a key Psychological level and potential support. A break lower here would open up $38 and $34k which is the recent lows of this year. The market correlation with Crypto and traditional stock risk appetite is getting closer and a reversal in US stock markets should help...
AUD/USD has baffled trading breaking out of the years range to the topside last Tuesday after the RBA changed to a hawkish stance. AUD/USD rally was reversed sharply later in the week as US yields exploded and Oil eased back on Chinese lockdowns. Still market is expecting RBA to raise in June now so if the USD rally based on US Bond yields can stop or reverse...

Wheat has been the most volatile commodity since the war started and we have fallen back to $1000 as peace talks improved. Similar to Oil though peace will not fix the supply/demand issues with Ukraine and Russia accounting for 30% of wheat exports. The consolidation period is likely over and if we can get some positive price action more buyers are likely to...
Buying have reclaimed control of Gold in recent session forming support above $1900 and we have started to march higher once again. As the war drags on and Inflation spikes Gold is a natural hedge for many investors but it has disappointed many with the large reversal but this very common and the 2nd wave of buying now could be more important. A failure at...
AUD/JPY has led the charge higher but as we get into Friday and overbought territory then we look for pullback levels to buy from. At some point Oil should drop or USD/JPY and this can bring us back to Y90 on AUDJPY but bigger support would be the FIB support at Y88. As long as commodities and interest rates are high AUD/JPY is well positioned to do...
Crypto markets were on the back foot last week, feeling the pressure as governments were looking at the asset as a way around sanctions. Compounding the affect was the U.S. government ordering an executive order looking into crypto assets.

We approach US NFP this month with USD very strong at 98 on the Dollar index. Most of the USD strength is on the back of EUR/USD selling which is at the key 1.10 level ahead of the US Jobs number. Forecast at 400k the cleanest pair to trade is USD/JPY which will go up if strong or down if weak. But given we in uptrend on USD if the number is weak but doesn't...
Oil reversed sharply from $116 to $108 when it was reported that Iran nuclear deal could bring Iran's Oil production back into the world supply if they give up Nuclear weapons. We had initially talked about selling $120 but it began early and now is not simple to sell these levels which are much less oversold and is a different sort of trade to a quick smash and...
