ridethepig | CAD Market Commentary 2020.04.08Commodity currencies reached the 🔑 value levels to load for this final leg down in risk. As mentioned here last week 0.62xx was the level to load in AUDUSD and NZDUSD.
I also loaded an entire short CAD portfolio with USDCAD testing the 1.395x outguessing a negative outcome tomorrow. In best case scenario we will see a ‘handshake’ which wont be enough to offset this huge demand shock, I will keep an ear on the wires with live coverage resuming as usual from today.
I am closely tracking for the final sweep to the lows in Oil, for those following in the previous strategies we are entering into fill or kill territory with the final $15 targets:
Monthly
For all those wanting to dig deeper and build a basket around short CAD I would recommend unless you know what you are doing to start your positions with a hedge, outguessing the flop tomorrow will trigger a major sell off in the black stuff.

ridethepig | EURGBP Market Commentary 2020.08.14EURGBP finding a bid from 0.900x as widely expected since earlier in the month. Here actively adding longs on the pullback for a move towards 0.915x highs.
Little Britain are still nowhere near out of the woods yet with the 'oven ready’ Brexit still to come later this year.
For those wondering why not Cable? It’s very tough to time a bottom in the dollar with the artificial devaluation underway, flows will eventually exhaust hence recommending caution in GBPUSD. My preferred vehicle for expressing a weaker GBP and profiting from the economic bondage is EURGBP.
On the technical side, those with a background in waves will know we are preparing for an impulsive wave targeting the 0.908x and 0.914x minimum flow. Eyes on the close today, a lot of talk making the rounds of a pound clearout.

EURJPY's Last KissDuring past weeks Euro has been gaining against most major currencies. The main factor that drove this rally was the impulse of ECB to stimulate and restart the economy with decent monetary package. Since then, the sentiment remained bullish and EURO had faced long-term high which it easily broke. Now the market needs to gain momentum again and on this occasion the chances of possible long position arises.
As the price created new high, we were able to draw a Fibonacci retracement levels from the last swing and thus expect next price of interest for turnover. Very important levels are 50% and 38,2% of Fibonacci, which are also in confluence with the long-term resistance (now support) at $124.22, which is respected since 5th of June and has already accounted for 6 successful retests, which makes it really strong. With the ECB monetary policy consideration it is likely, that the price will continue to surge and at least retests the last swing high.
To make the setup more probable, a supportive trend line (M15) can be drawn to make the timing of the trade even more accurate.
Signals:
- 50% & 38,2% Fibonacci levels of retracement
- Long-term broken resistance, now support to be retested
- Positive ECB sentiment
- Expected break of the corrective M15 trend line
Despite the positive ECB sentiment, it is necessary to think about the macro fundamentals, which set the value in longer time period!
ridethepig | EURGBP Market Commentary 2020.07.22🔸 An 'ingenious' saving move from Europe and finally they are able to get debt mutualisation through. It will be very bullish for EURUSD in the Medium and Long term horizons, although the ST will become a lot more cloudy via Covid as we enter into the Autumn / Winter for the Northern Hemisphere.
I prefer to play EUR on the crosses and vs. GBP is a no-brainer considering that no-deal brexit is still to come and counter any short-lived GBP strength. I am fortunate enough to be dealing with an audience who can take a hint and understand when not to believe politicians.
It went:
Next came:
And now we are entering into a whole game, because EURGBP is a good example of how even in FX both sides can align to the same direction and define the central strategy.
Here the following line remains that Brexit is giving up competitiveness and market access (at least in the Short-term we can agree whatever your view is on the matter) which opens up the need for currency devaluation. As long as the UK side makes soft, it makes it difficult to build a constructive view on GBP.
The latest ‘track and trace’ systems entering into the picture will weigh heavy on consumer confidence and ensure GBP will remain soft. Actively tracking the same loading zones with 0.905x to add longs in EURGBP and 1.270x to load shorts in GBPUSD.
A previous example was last year with the elections, but this is no less imaginative.
In a situation where both fundamental sides align, EURGBP will be able to turn the 0.91xx handle into a new base for activity which we can handle in an almost virtuoso fashion.

EUR/USD as everyone's eyes are on Brussels,RETRACEMENT?FA:
Currently, EU leaders are discussing the possibility of a Corona Virus Stimulus package; with there being a standstill between the frugal four (Austria,Netherlands,Sweden,Denmark) and the "Club Med" members (Greece,Italy and France) whom want the stimulus to be treated as a grant but the frugal four disagree.
As discussions go on, and the lack of news in the USA and States facing further closures- we could see a strong bullish turn around for the Euro against the dollar.
(USA) Expansionary fiscal measures set to reach expiry at the end of July- with talks being held this week on what the next move is- we should see some strong movement.
TA:
EUR/USD has been strong and has rallied quite strong to break a long term downward trend to turn bullish, however, it is now approaching resistance, so what's next?
Resistance is also placed at a HTF support thus now resistance level, as well as being a key Fibonacci level- therefore we can expect a retracement- unless Brussels decides otherwise
Can be treated as a short trade with stops placed outside of the green area; with it hedged with a break-out trade
If the euro breaks that region and the further resistance, it could approach levels not seen since 2014

Dax daily: 16 Jul 2020Yet another great prediction. If you've read our analysis yesterday and traded it accordingly, we congratulate you for great profits. As we predicted, the price had an initial push lower to closed the gap, which correlated with past VPOC. This was the level which had double significance for buyers who stepped in to take the price to 12 882 and even broke out this resistance. This one functioned to suppress further bullish momentum and Dax quickly returned to retest its importance. The price was oscillating up and down, just to close the day on the same level and formed the VPOC slightly above it.
Important zones
Resistance: 12 882, 13 119
Support: 12 592
Statistics for today
Detailed statistics in the Statistical Application
Macroeconomic releases
13:45 CEST - ECB Main Refinancing Rate + Monetary Policy Statement
14:30 CEST - ECB Press Conference
14:30 CEST - USA - Retail Sales & Unemployment claims
Today's session hypothesis
Today's session opened below 12 882. Market participants will most likely attempt to retest yesterday's close as it correlates with the S/R zone and the VPOC too. This is the area where we'll need to monitor the price action to further establish directional bias. Dax is slowly aiming higher and if the continuation prevails, our bullish target lays up at 13 119. Stay on alert as we have a day packed with fundamental releases and these could easily rock the boat.
EURUSD: Shorts possible but... 1,1380/40 first target thenHi,
bulls are "cleaning" stops ahead of ECB tomorrow or is it something more ?
If its stop hunt only we should see now creation of upper shadow.
... and if thats the case I will go with shorts
Stop above 1,1490
First Target 1,1380/40
Second Target: 1,1220/1180
Good Luck!
Dax Renewed Upward Momentum Having dropped significantly in June on fears surrounding a second lock down the Dax has regained it's upward momentum as it seeks to break above long term resistance above 13000. Though no major announcements are expected, the ECB on meeting on Thursday could lead to significant price action in particular coupled with a number of US earnings releases this week.
ridethepig | EURNZD Trade of the Week📌 In spite of the overshoots to the downside, what we are trading here is a sacrifice... the 'sad tale of the last seller'.
I love it when sellers go overboard.
Threatening to breakdown, without realising the RBNZ has opened the August window for more free money and NZD devaluation via purchases.
The euro occupies the throne in G10 which the dollar has vacated.. We all have our eyes on unity on the fiscal side, and a change of scenery!
The euro continues its dance. The purpose of this move is to put into action the debt mutualisation / consolidation. But the move versus USD is becoming more difficult as risk approaches the horizon via Covid.
In any case... time for a nice late breakfast while positioning in a dangerous situation.

EURGBP ... and here we go again, looking to buy...Hi,
we have a possibility to see higher levels again but this time Im not going to buy the current dip. What I would like to see is move back above 0,9010/15 and then pullback to 0,9000/8980 and thats going to be my entry.
stop under 0,8960
Three targets: 0,91, 0,9165 i 0,9300/50
Good Luck
ridethepig | EURGBP Market Commentary 2020.07.08📍 The following position comes after a temporary concession break of 0.90x strong support. After sellers came crumbs away the first time, buyers felt at liberty to allow the breach and trap more on the counterplay.
The mysterious trap is coming and buyers wish to occupy the 0.90xx handle rather fast to rule out any cheap entries. At the right moment, we can double down on momentum as price develops .
Let me say a few quick words about the birth of this position; it is closely linked to the GBP devaluation via Brexit and the history of protectionism positional plays...
First there was the complete control of Downing Street and the Treasury, the "no-deal" hijacking was only possible from this populists.
📌 Then came the stratagem of a covid flank which rendered the first 1.15xx test, sellers could not breakdown without profit taking and loading a second barrel. Moreover, the GBP weakness can be played in the crosses:
Admitting the damage of Brexit is worth considering for those still thinking this environment is +ve for GBP. The threat of negative rates would mark the official surrender.

ridethepig | EURNZD July Macro Swing📌 Here tickets are very cheap for those wanting to exploit the NZD weakness via dovish RBNZ. While on the European side, a direct consolidation of the debt, sacrificing Merkel to save the currency. Complex but totally tradable flows.
=> After the textbook move in EURUSD
Euro crosses can almost equalise. In cramped consolidation, you cannot afford to give any easy entries, the false break ruins those soft retail expecting an easy move! Actively looking to build full positions at 1.7325 for the coming weeks and month. A long journey ahead with 1.78 as the main goal, in order to support as best it can the slingshot will move with direction action (instead of a zig-zag).
ridethepig | EURGBP Positional Play📍 EURGBP
What are we trading here?
A counter any false conceptions that we will see a Brexit deal. All headlines produce an immediate effect for trading: wait patiently and quiet and justify fades:
Here the static weakness of GBP can clearly be recognised. Any idea of pullbacks into support will be short-lived. These remain our key loading zones with positional swings!
- In this case, Buyers will refuse sellers the freeing breakdown to prevent any cheap entries.
A ruthless strategy from Downing Street to avoid any extension flanks, and try rather to operate under the premise of No-deal. The strongest hands will be rewarded; one should hang on to the bearish UK story as long as possible.

ridethepig | Golden Cross for EURUSD📍 EURUSD G10 FX Strategy
The analysis of this starting position shows us two important triggers to conduct additional entries to our long positions.
=> A flanking manoeuvre is underway, but also a quick-witted fundamental swing; the euro's transition towards a funding currency and eurobonds saves it from collapse. As long as this expectation exists, the euro is going to have large hands on the bid and sellers cannot administer any traps.

📍 EURUSD Technical Flows
Whatever may be the case, the macro flows are beautiful, as beautiful as the legend of Hamilton. The trigger in 1790 was Britain, for Angela Merkel its Covid. European politicians needed to use a crisis to apply pressure at critical moments. This contact with federalising the debt is a game changing concept and will give euro strength until the dollar devaluation is exhaust...Getting back in touch with the technical flows and our original starting position which is just as miraculous.
Eyes on 1.13 today, taking it with NY will open up 1.15 initial macro targets. This should allow sufficient light on further development of the romance in waves. All the more so, since w have already dug deeper into the live flows and revealed the most difficult secret of all, namely the art of when to marry and divorce positions.

ridethepig | EUR Market Commentary 2020.06.23📍 EURUSD breaking out of the consolidation/chop and starting to tactically move higher.
As you all have noticed, volumes are a lot lighter as markets catch their breath back. The two clashing forces on the risk front remain set to hijack the flows at any time:
1️⃣ an increasing R0 / case numbers and;
2️⃣ re-openings / economic surprises.
Overshoots on the European PMIs front this morning will be enough to trigger the final momentum leg. For those tracking the live flows in FX, invalidation in the current leg higher would come from a close below the 🔑 1.115x support in EURUSD.
