BTC/USDT 1HInterval Chart ReviewHello everyone, I invite you to a quick review of the current situation of BTC in the USDT pair, taking into account the one-hour interval. As you can see, the price is climbing along the local upward trend line.
As you can see, the price is still growing dynamically, and the four-year cycle of bitcoin may change, but here we will lay out a trend based fib extension grid, thanks to which we can see how the price has reached a very important resistance zone from $67,644 to $69,962, and when it positively leaves this zone the increase may reach around $73,055.
Looking the other way, however, if we saw a reversal of the trend, this would have a positive impact on the RSI and STOCH indicators, which at the moment are clearly depleted. The price decline may reach the support level of $65,671, and then a support zone is visible around $63,490 to $62,350.

The EUR/USD pair has discovered a support base around 1.0800 levels, initiating a rebound and
making strides to surpass its prior high. The surge is predominantly attributed to the dollar's

BTC/USDT 1HInterval Short-TermHello everyone, let's take a look at the BTC to USDT chart on a one hour time frame. As you can see, the price dynamically broke down from the local upward trend line.
After unfolding the Trend Based Fib Extension saitka, there is strong support at the level of $60,463, and further support is visible at the level of $58,440.
Looking the other way, you can see resistance at $62,343, and then the important level of $63,539.
There was some room for the RSI indicator to decline further, while the STOCH indicator approached the lower limit, which could have resulted in the correction slowing down.
BTC/USDT 1H Short-Term Chart ReviewHello everyone, I invite you to check the current situation on BTC in the USDT pair, taking into account the one-hour interval. First, we will use the yellow line to determine the upward trend line from which the price has broken down, currently creating a falling triangle in which we can see a movement towards closing the triangle.
At this point, it is worth turning on EMA Cross 10 and 30, because they indicate the moment of confirmation of the transition to a local downtrend, which can potentially be used to play a short-term short.
Now we can move on to marking support areas in case the correction deepens. And here, after deploying the Trend Based Fib Extension tool, we can determine a strong support zone from $50,752 to $50,272, which for now keeps the price from falling further.
Looking the other way, when we unfold the grid again, we can determine this time the zone of main resistance for price increases. And here you can see the zone from $52,020 to $52,400. Only when the price comes out on top and then tests positively will we be able to observe further increases.
When we look at the RSI indicator, we can see a movement in the lower part of the range, which can potentially translate into increases, while on the STOCH indicator, a similar movement takes place in the lower part, which again gives room for local growth.
Trading Through Turbulence: EUR/USD Strategies Amid U.S. Fiscal The current economic indicators, alongside commentary from key Federal Reserve officials, suggest a cautious approach towards the EUR/USD pair. With the U.S. showing no immediate intent to cut interest rates due to a robust labor market and unresolved inflation targets, traders should prepare for potential dollar strength and volatility in the currency markets. The anticipation of a "hard landing" for the U.S. economy further complicates the landscape, warranting a strategic approach to trading the EUR/USD pair.
1. U.S. Interest Rate Outlook:
Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta President Raphael Bostic's recent statements highlight a significant resistance to cutting interest rates in the near term. The robustness of the U.S. labor market and the economy, coupled with inflation not convincingly on track to meet the 2% target, suggests that the dollar might remain strong. Bostic's remarks underscore the uncertainty surrounding inflation, indicating that the Fed is not yet convinced that inflationary pressures are sufficiently under control to warrant a change in monetary policy. This stance is crucial for EUR/USD traders, as interest rate expectations are a primary driver of currency movements. The Fed's cautious approach may bolster the dollar, creating resistance against EUR gains.
2. Market Reactions and Treasury Movements:
The reaction to Bostic’s comments was immediate, with Treasuries falling and holding their decline, reflecting market adjustments to the expectations of continued strong U.S. monetary policy. Conversely, Jupiter Asset Management's move to increase its Treasury holdings to a record suggests a hedging strategy against a potential economic downturn. For EUR/USD traders, these dynamics indicate a flight to safety and potential volatility, with a strong dollar scenario possibly prevailing in the short term.
3. Equity Market Inflows and Implications for the Dollar:
Significant inflows into global equity funds, especially following substantial sell-offs in U.S. stocks by Japanese and Chinese funds, hint at a complex investment landscape. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures' rise indicates investor optimism or speculative positioning, potentially impacting the dollar by influencing risk sentiment. For the EUR/USD, this could mean short-term bullish signals for the dollar, especially if equity market strength translates into confidence in the U.S. economy.
4. Inflation Concerns and Labor Market Strength:
The anticipated high CPI and potential for a similarly high Producer Price Index (PPI) could extinguish hopes for an interest rate cut, further strengthening the dollar. The persistent strength of the U.S. labor market suggests that inflation may not be easily tamed, reinforcing the Fed's cautious stance on rate cuts. For EUR/USD traders, this means monitoring U.S. economic indicators closely, as signs of sustained inflation or labor market overheating could prompt adjustments in trading strategies, favoring the dollar.
The EUR/USD trading environment is marked by uncertainty, with a robust U.S. economy and unresolved inflation concerns suggesting a cautious approach. Traders should remain vigilant, adapting strategies to navigate potential volatility and the implications of U.S. monetary policy on currency movements.
