In the short term there is a retracement even by Italian indexIn line with other major global index, in the short term there is a retracement even by Italian index. The price reached the resistance area between 21450 and 21550 points. A break on the upside would have led to a continuation of this uptrend up to the next resistance zone located between 21700 and 21900 points. A rejected, ( because as we said "In the short term there is a retracement even by Italian index" ) seems to be happening, should bring the price to retest the key level of support identified by the EMA 200 periods and passing about 20500 points.European Macros The fundamental scenario remains strongly uncertain for the Eurozone. Especially after the last ECB meeting in which Draghi stated that it is not only possible to change monetary policy due to slow growth. It is necessary to restore a low-cost liquidity injection to stimulate the economy by the end of 2019. Fed Effects The uncertainty of the Fed is added to the ECB. In fact the Fed would seem to have decided to not raise interest rates. At least throughout this year, if not also the next. Due to a possible market destabilization with a restrictive monetary policy. In any case, even this choice has left uncertainty among investors who in the short term could liquidate long positions favoring a reversal of world indices.
Ecb
An update to EURGBP for BOENow is a good time for a quick chart update ahead of the BOE and Brexit countdown.
PM May playing politics with a "Queens Gambit"….by asking for the short-extension till the end of June she is trying to force MPs hands to vote for her deal... Options from the EU are still either for (short) Mid-May or (long) lasting into 2020. The risk scenario which will send Pound flying down across the FX board is that the EU reject an extension.
We are tracking the same flows towards the top of the range here, and confidence is increasing after the break yesterday. The damage is almost done technically, a rally through current levels will leave us past the point of no return.
The first targets cleared and now 0.8841 remains the second target which is in play as early as this week. Well done everyone riding this one from the lows, it's not the time to start adding longs if you are not already positioned.
Best of luck!
EURGBP Flash Crash Coming Soon..The previous idea "Strengthening the immune system" received a lot of traction and it is time for a quick update here ahead of the vote in HoC today.
Volatility remains very high in the cross, and after the sharp drop overnight the ladder has been cleared for a move back through
resistance at 0.8670.
Watching this very closely and we have the potential for a huge move to the longer-term key area of interest with a Hard Brexit which remains in the region of 0.97 - 1.00.
Good luck.
What the market expects from the fed ?Macro view
The market expected that the FED on this occasion would not change the value of the interest rate. This had already been discounted in previous sessions. At a fundamental level, the US economy is undergoing a slowdown due also to the shutdown and this, together with the unclear monetary policy, is causing uncertainty. Investors want to see if this aggressive monetary policy can continue or if a period of stalemate has begun. The possibility of a rate cut if the situation remains stagnant.
Rates
For now it is very likely that interest rates can be resumed in the next FED meetings, as the indicators on which the FOMC is based are aimed at this. The rates can be cut towards the end of 2019 if the market does not liked this monetary tightening. This hypothesis would lead the indices to follow the strongly bearish December trend.
Index
At this time DOW JONES, (like SP500 and NASDAQ) tested the respective resistance area and was rejected downwards. The target to which it will aim in the very short term (if Powell makes it clear that there will be further increases soon) will be the area set at 25000 points, then continue towards 24200 if the level just mentioned should have been violated to the downside. The same goes for SP500, which will target 2640 points. The NASDAQ should go back to testing the 6900.
Selling EUR against JPYAfter some positive news from Moody’s last Friday on Italy the headlines are starting to fade making this morning a great opportunity to start getting short EURUSD and EURJPY around current levels.
The ECB introduced a risk premium on the EUR which is only going to increase as the EZ outlook softens. I like playing EUR against pockets of USD strength as we have the possibility for renewed pricing on Fed hikes in the picture and JPY via fiscal year-end repatriation flows.
Best of luck to those trading Euro live this week
Bulls exhausting, whilst early bears squeezed. BIG move coming. As most of you already know the targets below remain in play.

Eyeballing a test of the lows in EURUSDHere expecting dollar bulls to start showing up again for the European morning session.
The long-end curves have been steepening further in Europe led by France pushing the 10s and 30s. Germany joined the party at a slower pace. The market also absorbed heavy supply yesterday from Italy ahead of the Moody's rating this Friday.
We have some updates in the Brexit front coming in a few.
Best of luck those in live trades.
A buying opp for Silver as ECB confirm recession is comingFundamentally we have had a very fast leg down right on time for the Yen repatriation fiscal year end flows to begin. There is a lot more upside in the dollar move to come as investors are running to cash.
Silver will naturally benefit from the risk-off nature of these flows, here we have a great buying opportunity for those wanting to invest in more coins.
On the technical side we have completed our first impulsve wave leg to the upside and the retrace in wave 2 is coming to an end. Here building positions for the remaining legs in this move with an initial target of 17.0
Please see the gold charts attached for more information on the impact from a global slowdown on commodity pricing.
Thanks for all the support guys, please remember to like and comment.
An update to the EURUSD chart after a retrace from ECBThe latest rebound from the bottom of the channel has given a soft recovery. We are approaching key resistance areas and for those who are bearish on the USD you will need a constructive break above 1.13 to show anything meaningful in this recovery.
I don't subscribe to the view that we have seen the highs in Dollar and expect these flows to continue well into the summer 2019. I am positioned as most of you already know for 1.09 and even 1.06/1.05 if we see maximum pain with a no-deal Brexit.
For those who are trading the longer-term perspective , I would encourage you to view the monthly chart attached, this is a view I have maintained since last year and still expect a higher low to develop over the 1.03 lows from 2017. This will mark a very interesting buying opportunity, as the noise of a European collapse will have reached maximum volume and most will be screaming for a break of parity. Nevertheless, we will be talking more about this in a few months.
All the best to those who are trading live.
EURJPY Likely To Fall Further! A SHORT trade SetupTRADE TYPE: SELL WHEN THE MARKET OPENS AT AROUND 124.800 LEVEL
STOP LOSS: 126.750
TAKE PROFIT: 123.000
RR: 1:1
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
With the trendline and channel on daily charts broken convincingly, the cross is aiming to test the next crucial support that lies in the 123.000 level! Price has already given the confirmation and the short trade can be executed once the market opens on monday. There are other crucial technical analysis that are too long too explain behind this trade setup, all in all the analysis is based on weekly charts but the structure on the daily TF has given me enough confirmation to take this trade short
FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS
Well what can be said about the EUR! ECB on thursday surprised the markets by its more than expected dovish announcement which sent all the EUR pairs into high selling pressure. The EUR is sentimented to fall further in the coming days.
Shall there be any updates i will provide them here. cheers

The day after DraghiYesterday, Mario Draghi announced a new round of long-term and favorable conditions loans for the banking system.
The new series of operations will be launched from September 2019 and will end in March 2021. The operations will be carried out every three months and each will have a two-year maturity.
In addition, the ECB has confirmed what analysts had expected despite the last meeting at the end of 2018 (which suggested that in September 2019 there could have been a rise in rates), that is: there will be no change in the monetary policy adopted in the last years, keeping fixed interest rates at least until the end of 2019, but it is very likely that this policy will also be maintained during 2020.
All of this, leaves macro analysis unchanged, it is likely that for the next few weeks the EURUSD will be laterally between 1.12 and 1.14, and then proceed in its main bearish trend with final target at 1.08 as soon as Powell resume monetary tightening.
However, we expect a devaluation of the US dollar until March 20: our first target is 1.14 in the short term and then the area between 1.10 and 1.08.
EURUSD Sell offEURUSD Huge sell off today after ECB news slashing projected growth forecasts from 1.7% to 1.1% for 2019. Fundamentally Europe is struggling as an economy with Italy in a technical recession and the remainder of Europe struggling due to China slowing down and the Euro countries being reliant on trade. This all suggests near term growth to be weaker than originally anticipated. The central bank is offering new loans to banks, to help stimulate the economy by boosting spending.
I believe the Euro will struggle temporarily before seeing better numbers towards the end of the year once China has repaired it's relationship with USA and Brexit is done and dusted.
Technically, we have now made a new low. As traders we anticipated this due to the 61.8% of the recent swing high and swing low being tested, with a rising wedge and even psychological number of 1.14 being met and a third touch of a descending TL. From here I believe we will see a correction to at least 1.1300-13500. Generally when using the Fib tool, I look to target -127% as a target. Looking back on previous moves, we have not met this level as a target on the recent swings, therefore I believe we will see a correction at these levels.
This idea would be invalidated on a break below this channel, and shorts executed upon a retest.
EUR/USD breakout As mentioned in my previous post the pair broke below the rising wedge and failed to recover.
The ECB meeting today also disappointed with its dovish message and downgraded growth forecasts.
Also, the committee is launching TLTRO program soon which also increased the pressure on the pair.
My initial target for the rising wedge breakout is 1.1180 which is also 61.8% fibo level of the 2016-2017 up move.
The Ecb today made this move happen faster than anticipated.
I don't recommend selling at this level since EUR/USD is highly oversold and might retrace a little bit to mid 1.12's.
Target to the downside is 1: 1.118 and 2:1.11 psychological level.
Good luck
