US CPI Data Release PreparationTraders Watch Out!
The DXY is likely to see significant volatility with the US CPI for January due today (9:30pm GMT+8), with the current forecast expecting data to be released at 6.2% (Previous: 6.5%).
A slowdown of inflation growth could reinforce the Fed's view of disinflation and could lead to the DXY trading significantly lower. This is because investors would increase on bets that the Federal Reserve would be less likely to continue with its hawkish comments and over-the-top interest rate hikes.
With the DXY currently trading along the 103.20 price level, weakness in the DXY could see the price slide lower toward the key support level of 102.650. However, before the retest of the 102.65 price level, the price would have to first break through the round number support of 103.
However, it would be foolish to rule out the possibility that the data surprises markets, with a higher-than-expected release. (Considering that energy prices traded higher in January)
Trade with Caution
US30 Intra-Week Analysis Feb 14th, 2023Last week we saw price continue to range without showing much direction after Powell gave a very optimistic speech but included the fight against inflation is not over. Price came up to test 34300 and failed to break above before flipping bearish to test 33500, failing to break below as well. Momentum shifted bullish to end the week in anticipation of the CPI data released today, which was expected to be 6.2%. This week with CPI being released at 6.4%, which is lower than before but higher than expected, we've already seen some indecision in the market with a slight bullish push after the data was released. However, us30 should continue bearish as the market continues to price in the data. If we fail to break below 33400 we can see price continue back in the range.
Stay cautious of a PEAK/TOP in the markets today.My SPY Cycle Patterns suggest the markets will establish a PEAK/TOP today - then trend downward.
I created this video to help my followers stay aware of the short-term nature of price in a reactionary price trend - like today.
If you are chasing this rally, stay very cautious of risks related to my SPY cycle patterns. Overall, I expect the markets to peak, stall, then trend downward over the next 48 hours.
Take quick trades with targeted profit targets. This is not a friendly market uptrend in my opinion.
I believe the $408 level is a likely downside price target for the SPY by Thursday.

U.S. stock market remains unchanged despite soaring CPI figures
U.S. stock market futures S&P and NASDAQ have not changed significantly.
The market predicted a fall in inflation compared to the previous month, but it showed an increase not only above the forecast but also compared to the previous month.
Elliott Wave Science Meets the Consumer Price IndexIt would be awesome if TradingView offered a candlestick chart for CPI but considering its only updated once per month, maybe the line graph/chart is the best option (not sure how that works). As for the data available to me, I've done a best effort markup using the science of Elliott Wave Theory. Considering the fluctuations seen on the M(onthly) chart, I believe its possible that CPI is sitting in the midst of a shallow Wave 4 correction. With this in mind, I find it possible that the number stretches into the low-mid 7.xx range between now and March. From there we may see a 2023 low within the 4.xx level.
I will share my thoughts here as I know there is much interest in "what will the CPI numbers be?"... Being that this CPI data is directly based on the actions of humans and the habits that we act on, it should work pretty well with Elliott Wave Theory. I will keep this post fluid and apply analytical updates as monthly results are publicly announced.
Remember these three important things: 1) trade the chart instead of the news and 2) stay safe /3) don't drown!
Plan for XAUUSD with CPI AnnouncementOANDA:XAUUSD
Gold has been trading in the range since last Friday (10th February 2023). It is clear that speculators and investors are waiting for something: maybe some economic indicators like CPI will decide the movement of Gold by today (14th February 2023)
Within the 1H timeframe, It is clear that gold has a strong chance of continuing its downtrend if it breaks below the trading range of 1850-1865 with the the following key support levels:
1st Support at: 1835
2nd Support at: 1825
Key Support at: 1800
On the contrary in a bigger picture of Day timeframe, Gold can still push for another leg upward as the price action has slowed the downward movement. If CPI number comes out in favor of Gold then it has a chance of testing the following key resistance when it breaks the range between 1850-1865 upward:
1st Resistance at: 1880
2nd Resistance at: 1885
Key Resistance at: 1900
The most importance part of all; Place a trade where the Risk to Reward favors in the direction that you choose!!!
#HEX Wyckoff accumulationLike some other #altcoins
#HEXUSDC appears to be showing a #Wyckoff accumulation pattern
not textbook , but a very good guide as to what has occurred during this #bear market
could we have CPI dump today , quite possible
but I am favouring a lower CP LIE and grounds for continuation in the #stock market
Why US30 Will crash hard? CPI data is tomorrow and yet if Feds pivots still alive.
Bad news the inflation still high and slowly cooling down but not at eased. This is a cause of disinflation.. we supposed not to go there way too fast ! This is big reason for markets to crash.
Overall we should expect the big fall pay attention for the CPI news tomorrow morning
This will be the biggest bull trap in history
