US-Oil 28th mayTurning our attention to US-Oil as our second highlighted pair this week, we've witnessed a complete reversal in order flow. However, I anticipate another change in the upcoming week. There are two possible scenarios: either we continue with the current bullish momentum, further accumulating liquidity, or we reach the upper range boundary and switch to a bearish outlook. Our strategy involves monitoring the 15-minute swing range and assessing if it aligns with the order flow on lower time frames. If there is confirmation, we will consider shorting oil, aiming for the significant weekly level (SWL) on the 15-minute chart as our primary target. Considering the overall fundamentals, over the weekend, the US has reached a deal to extend and increase their debt default. This development suggests the potential for a substantial market movement upon the opening. We'll be closely monitoring market openings and price action throughout the week.

💲Learn DXY - US. Dollar Index ✅Why Be Interested? The strong dollar has been getting a lot of attention lately. Some U.S. companies are blaming the strong U.S. dollar for lackluster earnings, while economists say it's helping the Federal Reserve’s ongoing fight against high inflation. But how do you know when the dollar is strong or weak? That’s the job of the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) ☑️What Is the U.S. Dollar Index? The U.S. Dollar Index is a market index benchmark used to measure the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other widely-traded international currencies. The Federal Reserve established the dollar index in 1973 to track the value of the U.S. dollar. Two years earlier, President Richard Nixon had abandoned the gold standard, which allowed the value of the dollar to float freely in foreign exchange (forex) markets. Since 1985, the dollar index has been calculated and maintained by Intercontinental Exchange (ICE). ☑️The Dollar Index History and Makeup The formula for calculating the value of the U.S. Dollar Index includes the dollar’s relative value compared to a basket of foreign currencies. Initially, it included the Japanese yen, British pound, Canadian dollar, Swedish krona, Swiss franc, West German mark, French franc, Italian lira, Dutch guilder, and Belgian franc. Following the creation of the euro in 1999, the number of currencies was reduced and the formula for the dollar index was adjusted. Today, the basket includes just six currencies: the euro (EUR), Japanese yen (JPY), British pound (GBP), Canadian dollar (CAD), Swedish krona (SEK) and Swiss franc (CHF). ✅How Is the U.S. Dollar Index Used? The USDX allows traders and investors to monitor the purchasing power of the U.S. dollar relative to the six currencies included into the index's basket. Investors also use the dollar index as a litmus test for U.S. economic performance, particularly when it comes to imports and exports. The more goods the U.S. exports, the more international demand there is for U.S. dollars to purchase those goods. When demand for the dollar is high, USDX rises. ☑️Dollar Index Shortcomings: The weightings of the currencies used to calculate the index were based on the United States’ biggest trading partners in the 1970s. As a result, its calculation doesn't include emerging market currencies, like the Mexican Peso (MXN) or commodity currencies. It also doesn't include China’s renminbi (CNY), even though China is now the largest U.S. trading partner by a wide margin. Therefore, the index may be less useful as an economic measure than in previous decades. ✅What Makes the U.S. Dollar Strong? A combination of higher inflation, the Fed's aggressive tightening campaign and a global search for yield have all contributed to the strong dollar. A strong dollar means other global currencies have been relatively weak, which exacerbates inflationary pressures and financial market volatility. 📍In Conclusion: The Dollar Index can be used as a gauge of the Dollar strength or weakness, and it’s futures can be used to profit form Dollar moves without betting on any individual Dollar currency pair which provides diversification. However, the Index is somewhat outdated which needs to be accounted for when using it. ❤️Please, support our work with like & comment!❤️ Please, support my work with like and comment!

EUR USD - FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSISThe US dollar (USD) has staged a comeback against the Pound Sterling (GBP) and Euro (EUR) over the past few weeks, but foreign exchange analysts at MUFG still consider that medium-term depreciation is the most likely outcome. The bank considers that the US Dollar exchange rates are overvalued, especially against the Japanese Yen (JPY) and net capital flows are likely to be less supportive. It also considers that the Euro-Zone and Chinese outlooks are more favourable, especially given that gas prices have declined sharply. MUFG also expects the Fed will cut rates before the ECB while the Bank of Japan will tighten policy. Monetary policy will inevitably be a key aspect. Although the immediate debate is still surrounding the potential for further interest rate hikes, MUFG expects the debate will switch to the potential for a Federal Reserve policy reversal as the US economy deteriorates. According to the bank; “ The Fed will be cutting rates prior to the ECB. Inflation in Europe is stickier due to energy and food prices and the Fed will have much more scope to respond once economic conditions in the US weaken further from here. ” After an extended period of quantitative easing, MUFG also expects that the ECB quantitative tightening programme through bond sales will put upward pressure on longer-term yields and support the Euro. Global Growth Trends Still Favourable MUFG notes that previous forecasts of an extended UK recession have been revised away and the Euro-Zone has also been resilient. As far as China is concerned it adds; “ Recent data has disappointed, in particular on the manufacturing side of the economy, but pent-up domestic demand likely has further to run which will act as a source of global growth this year. ” Although market sentiment has been more cautious, it expects overall growth dynamics will not favour the US dollar as Asia rebounds. A related issue is the key area of energy prices. The jump in energy costs last year was a key reason why agencies such as the IMF and central banks were so negative surrounding the European economic outlook last year. Gas prices have, however, declined sharply with a slump from over 90% from the peak and close to 2-year lows. Gas storage levels are also at very high levels in historic terms ang MUFG expects storage levels will hit 100% in the summer. In this context, lower gas prices will improve the growth outlook and strengthen the trade outlook. The Bank of Japan has resisted tightening monetary policy, but MUFG notes that the economy is strengthening and inflation has increased. According to MUFG; “ we maintain that YCC has passed its sell-by-date and while it remains unclear whether price stability at 2% can be achieved, the BoJ will still move to widen the band or scrap it completely. ” The bank expects that the yen will strengthen sharply if the Bank of Japan lets yields increase which will drag the dollar lower. Negative Long-Term US Debt Dynamics The immediate focus is on the US debt ceiling and political brinkmanship ahead of early June when the US Treasury will run out of cash. These short-term dynamics are mixed for the US dollar with concerns over the economy, but potential defensive support if risk appetite deteriorates. MUFG focusses on the underlying debt dynamics and the potentially unsustainable situation. MUFG notes that the budget deficit in the first seven months of fiscal 2022/23 amounted to $928bn from $360bn the previous year. On a longer-term view, in considers the debt dynamics will be potentially negative for the US currency. De-Dollarization Hype Although MUFG considers that the de-dollarization rhetoric is rather more hype than substance, there is still the risk that long-term confidence in the dollar will decline with scope for some further increase in Euro and yuan central bank reserve holdings. MUFG also notes that there has been strong central bank gold buying and it expects this trend will continue. The bank also sees a risk that the US use of financial sanctions will discourage official players to hold reserves in the dollar due to fears over asset freezes. MUFG notes that there has been an extended period of Wall Street out-performance, but expects this trend will reverse and net capital flows will be less supportive for the US currency. It adds; “ We see a renewed drop in US equities as investors position more assertively for US recession. ” Japan’s Nikkei 225 index has posted a 32-year high and the German DAX index has hit a record high. It also sees scope for a sustained rebound in emerging-market equities after an extended period of under-performance. It adds; “ A reversal of the current period of deep EM undervaluation poses downside risks for the USD in the medium-term. ” Long-Term Peak, Dollar Overvalued MUFG notes that the dollar last year reached the highest level for over 20 years. It also notes that at the October peak the currency index was 2 standard deviations stronger than the average over the past 40 years. It adds; “ Similar extreme levels of USD overvaluation were last recorded in the early 2000’s and mid-1980’s and subsequently proved to be long-term bearish turning points for the USD. ” The bank also considers that the dollar is substantially overvalued, especially against the yen, increasing the likelihood of mean reversion.

Stubborn EURUSD protects 🛡️1.076 Daily Level FOMC Meeting Minutes is coinciding with a touch into our Daily Support Level that has held since last Thursday. It's almost been an entire week since the decline has been halted. Yesterday we created a publishing about a potential double bottom, but we may have jumped the gun so to speak. The market may have needed more time to accumulate long orders and trap short liquidity. The Market appears to keep banging its head stubbornly against our 1.076 Daily Level. This morning thus far we could observe a volatile 40 pip range between 1.0795 and 1.075. Day traders have been having a hell of a time. This market reminds me of the FOMC Interest rate announcement about 3 weeks ago. It was a volatile range and turned out to be the turning point in favor of the bears for Eurusd. The market used FOMC as a turning point recently and I think we may see another occurrence as the market shakes out Buyers and Sellers with this volatile price action. Similar to the CPI news shaking out weak sellers 2 week ago, this market may increase. The price is low but the Sellers don't look necessarily persistent in their effort to sell into the 1.076 Daily Level. The Buyers on the other hand are happy to go long at our Daily Support Level as it offers great risk to reward. Price is has made a new low during London but was quickly bought up at our pre-planned 1hr support zone 1.0749. I liken price to return to our 1.08125 Daily Level as we continue to see a volatile range and fight in the 1.07's for Eurusd. I've struggled in my scalping of Eurusd this week and attribute it to psychology. Trading psychology is a very large part of trading and requires constant attention. It must be managed properly and is a skill just as developing a profitable system that suits your personality. It takes time to understand your weaknesses and strengths as a trader. This week I've had a particularly difficult time managing my weaknesses. Time and Patience is the greatest warrior and so I will come back stronger at a later time. Safe trading.

DOLLAR INDEX - FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSISEconomists at UBS, led by Chief US Economist Jonathan Pingle, have also explored potential market reactions to a breach of the X-date. Notably, the US Dollar (USD), Japanese Yen (JPY), and Gold emerge as key assets that could be significantly influenced. In most scenarios, Pingle anticipates a softening of the US Dollar amidst rising uncertainty. Interestingly, the only scenario where the US Dollar might rally strongly would involve a month-long impasse after the X-date. This extended deadlock could cause a significant tightening of financing conditions, boosting the USD in the process. "Only a 1m long impasse post the X-date is likely to cause a tightening of financing conditions sharp enough that it causes the dollar to rally strongly." says Pingle. In contrast, he suggests the worst-case scenario for the dollar arises if the X-date is crossed without any default. The fear of de-dollarisation, the process where the dominance of USD in the global financial system is gradually reduced, becomes a tangible threat in this case. "The worst case for the dollar is if the X-date is crossed without default; de-dollarisation becomes a real threat in this case." he adds. Pingle believes that, from a risk hedging perspective, long positions in Japanese Yen against currencies such as the Australian Dollar (AUD) and Canadian Dollar (CAD) as well as calls on Gold might be the cleanest strategies in the event of a US default. "JPY longs against AUD and CAD and Gold calls are the cleanest ways to hedge against a US default." says Pingle. He further suggests that Gold could fare well across all levels of uncertainty and potential default scenarios. "We see Gold doing well through all levels of uncertainty and default." he adds. In essence, these projections underscore the importance of being prepared for a range of outcomes, as the implications of the current debt ceiling impasse could be far-reaching and diverse across the financial landscape. Debt Ceiling Conundrum: Economists at UBS Unveil Four Possible Scenarios Economists at UBS suggest that there are four potential scenarios that may unfold due to the current impasse over the US debt ceiling. The scenarios, laid out by Jonathan Pingle, Chief US Economist at UBS, range from the most optimistic - in which the debt ceiling is lifted with minor volatility - to the most pessimistic, where a month-long impasse creates significant economic strain. Scenario 1: The Debt Ceiling is Lifted Amid Market Noise The first scenario that Pingle describes involves the debt ceiling being raised ahead of any missed payments, causing some market turbulence but averting significant damage. This echoes previous political disagreements in 2011 and 2013, where market volatility was relatively short-lived, lasting no more than a few weeks. "The economic impact under this scenario depends almost entirely on the level and duration of disruption that increased uncertainty might create for financial markets." says Pingle. He adds, "We assume in this scenario that any financial volatility would be short-lived, lasting no more than a few weeks." Scenario 2: The Debt Ceiling is Breached but Debt Payments are Prioritised The second scenario involves the Treasury surpassing the so-called X-date but continuing to honour debt service payments. This could result in a significant retrenchment in federal spending as revenues cover only around 75% of non-interest expenditures. "In this scenario, the Treasury goes past the X-date but debt service payments continue to be made." says Pingle. However, he warns that this scenario could have a more detrimental effect on the economy. "The economic outlook is a little weaker... The Federal Reserve likely sees profound institutional risk being thrust into this political fight over fiscal policy." he adds. Scenario 3: Principal and Interest Payments are Delayed after Breaching the X-date The third scenario Pingle presents assumes that the US misses interest payments by more than a three-day grace period, leading to a formal default and probable downgrades. "In this scenario, interest payments are missed and we've assumed by more than the 3- day grace period (i.e. a week) so that we can model a formal default and downgrades that would likely come with that default." says the analyst. He continues, "In this scenario the US faces more serious downgrade risk, CDS default triggers, and downgrades to the GSEs." This, according to Pingle, could potentially lead to immediate consequences for the global financial system, given the USD and US Treasury Securities' status as the world's main reserve currency and 'safe' asset, respectively. Scenario 4: A Prolonged, Month-long Standoff The final scenario, which Pingle describes as highly unlikely, would see a month-long impasse in the US political system over the debt ceiling issue. This scenario, according to the analyst, could have the most significant impact on the economy, potentially doubling the severity of the recession in the US and leading to an estimated job loss of around 700,000. "We give such an outcome very low odds... In this scenario, we could debate the path, but a large negative shock to growth at the current juncture we would argue sends the target range for the federal funds rate back to the zero lower bound." says Pingle. "Depending on the speed of the market moves and if things become disorderly, we would expect the FOMC to 50 bp rate cuts in the next two meetings to see if that helped mitigate market disruption." he adds.

Pingle believes that, from a risk hedging perspective, long positions in Japanese Yen against currencies such as the Australian Dollar (AUD) and Canadian Dollar (CAD) as well as calls on Gold might be the cleanest strategies in the event of a US default. "JPY longs against AUD and CAD and Gold calls are the cleanest ways to hedge against a US default." says Pingle. He further suggests that Gold could fare well across all levels of uncertainty and potential default scenarios. "We see Gold doing well through all levels of uncertainty and default." he adds. In essence, these projections underscore the importance of being prepared for a range of outcomes, as the implications of the current debt ceiling impasse could be far-reaching and diverse across the financial landscape. Debt Ceiling Conundrum: Economists at UBS Unveil Four Possible Scenarios Economists at UBS suggest that there are four potential scenarios that may unfold due to the current impasse over the US debt ceiling. The scenarios, laid out by Jonathan Pingle, Chief US Economist at UBS, range from the most optimistic - in which the debt ceiling is lifted with minor volatility - to the most pessimistic, where a month-long impasse creates significant economic strain. Scenario 1: The Debt Ceiling is Lifted Amid Market Noise The first scenario that Pingle describes involves the debt ceiling being raised ahead of any missed payments, causing some market turbulence but averting significant damage. This echoes previous political disagreements in 2011 and 2013, where market volatility was relatively short-lived, lasting no more than a few weeks. "The economic impact under this scenario depends almost entirely on the level and duration of disruption that increased uncertainty might create for financial markets." says Pingle. He adds, "We assume in this scenario that any financial volatility would be short-lived, lasting no more than a few weeks." Scenario 2: The Debt Ceiling is Breached but Debt Payments are Prioritised The second scenario involves the Treasury surpassing the so-called X-date but continuing to honour debt service payments. This could result in a significant retrenchment in federal spending as revenues cover only around 75% of non-interest expenditures. "In this scenario, the Treasury goes past the X-date but debt service payments continue to be made." says Pingle. However, he warns that this scenario could have a more detrimental effect on the economy. "The economic outlook is a little weaker... The Federal Reserve likely sees profound institutional risk being thrust into this political fight over fiscal policy." he adds. Scenario 3: Principal and Interest Payments are Delayed after Breaching the X-date The third scenario Pingle presents assumes that the US misses interest payments by more than a three-day grace period, leading to a formal default and probable downgrades. "In this scenario, interest payments are missed and we've assumed by more than the 3- day grace period (i.e. a week) so that we can model a formal default and downgrades that would likely come with that default." says the analyst. He continues, "In this scenario the US faces more serious downgrade risk, CDS default triggers, and downgrades to the GSEs." This, according to Pingle, could potentially lead to immediate consequences for the global financial system, given the USD and US Treasury Securities' status as the world's main reserve currency and 'safe' asset, respectively. Scenario 4: A Prolonged, Month-long Standoff The final scenario, which Pingle describes as highly unlikely, would see a month-long impasse in the US political system over the debt ceiling issue. This scenario, according to the analyst, could have the most significant impact on the economy, potentially doubling the severity of the recession in the US and leading to an estimated job loss of around 700,000. "We give such an outcome very low odds... In this scenario, we could debate the path, but a large negative shock to growth at the current juncture we would argue sends the target range for the federal funds rate back to the zero lower bound." says Pingle. "Depending on the speed of the market moves and if things become disorderly, we would expect the FOMC to 50 bp rate cuts in the next two meetings to see if that helped mitigate market disruption." he adds.

EUR USD - FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSISEconomists at UBS, led by Chief US Economist Jonathan Pingle, have also explored potential market reactions to a breach of the X-date. Notably, the US Dollar (USD), Japanese Yen (JPY), and Gold emerge as key assets that could be significantly influenced. In most scenarios, Pingle anticipates a softening of the US Dollar amidst rising uncertainty. Interestingly, the only scenario where the US Dollar might rally strongly would involve a month-long impasse after the X-date. This extended deadlock could cause a significant tightening of financing conditions, boosting the USD in the process. "Only a 1m long impasse post the X-date is likely to cause a tightening of financing conditions sharp enough that it causes the dollar to rally strongly." says Pingle. In contrast, he suggests the worst-case scenario for the dollar arises if the X-date is crossed without any default. The fear of de-dollarisation, the process where the dominance of USD in the global financial system is gradually reduced, becomes a tangible threat in this case. "The worst case for the dollar is if the X-date is crossed without default; de-dollarisation becomes a real threat in this case." he adds.

Eurusd : Double Bottom [ Daily level 1.076 ] ⛽There is a good probability that Eurusd will create a double bottom structure at 1.07597 on the Daily Timeframe. Here on the 1Hr we can observe a Low formed at the bottom of structure and is bouncing hard. I am anticipating a sort of double bottom structure here on EU. EU is flat after PMI data was released. Data was expected to be generally good and it turned out to be mixed. -This news release lines up with a retest of our Daily Level 1.07597 -The recent 4Hr candle just closed at our 4Hr Support/ Daily Level 1.07597 with no bottom wick signaling to me that there is profit taking for the bear occurring. -After 1Hr of Price action the current 4Hr candle didn't hesitate and has just gone straight up. -The bottom wick for the new 4hr candle thus far has been very minimal. - The 1Hr Candle just closed bullish at our 1.078 1Hr Zone -Often times at the 7am PST candle you can observe a continuation of the previous trend . ( In this case confirmation of a bounce off our Daily level 1.076 -We have clean traffic on the 1Hr chart back up to 1.08 where we may run into some trouble in the short term More Analysis: I bought the low price around the time when the new 4hr candle was opening and earned nearly 1% on the account. I don't necessarily think going short at Support is a wise thing unless you really know what you are doing.
