Eurodollar

The Euro SagaWelcome to our analysis of the EURUSD currency pair. We'll be examining the price actions captured on a 1-day (1D) candlestick chart, as well as a longer-term 6-month (6M) candlestick chart. On the 1D chart to the left, we can observe the trajectory of the Euro over the past year. The currency endured a steady decline throughout last year, eventually settling at a low around the 0.95 mark. However, in 2023, we witnessed a corrective rally that saw the Euro rebound to the 38.20% and 50% Fibonacci retracement levels, with the latter being tested twice. The current price action exhibits a certain level of neutrality, as corroborated by the Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovering around the 45 mark, which is typically interpreted as neutral. As we look to the week ahead, continuous upward momentum could potentially propel the Euro to revisit the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level, which lies around the 1.127 mark. Transitioning to the 6M chart on the right, we see a broader picture that is quite revealing. The RSI trend over the decades has primarily been bearish, suggesting a persistent weakness in the Euro. This bearish divergence, characterized by the price reaching a high in 2008 while the RSI was recording lower highs, could indicate a lack of robustness and stability in the Euro. The implication of this analysis is not immediately clear but serves as an important consideration for investors. On this 6M chart, we've also highlighted the 61.8% Fibonacci level in yellow, which has acted as both a support and resistance level for the Euro multiple times over the past decades. This level demonstrates significant strength, and it could very likely be revisited in the upcoming weeks. Turning our attention to the fundamental aspect of this analysis, it's crucial to consider the latest news surrounding the Euro and European politics. It's been noted that the Eurozone's attempts to diversify its energy sources away from Russia will continue to face challenges due to unresolved geopolitical issues with the Kremlin into 2023. The threat of a complete cessation of Russian natural gas exports to Europe remains a significant risk. Also, despite Germany entering a recession, the European Central Bank (ECB) is still expected to raise interest rates further. The anticipation of more interest rate hikes by the ECB in the coming months is creating an expectation buffer for the EUR/USD pair, limiting any significant depreciating moves​. In conclusion, while the technical analysis presents a mid/short-term mixed outlook for the Euro, the undercurrents of the fundamental analysis provide additional depth to our understanding. Keep in mind that markets are dynamic and subject to change, and this analysis should be used as a guide rather than a guarantee. As always, it is recommended to use this information in conjunction with your own research and risk tolerance. Happy trading!

Creation of the Top wick / Weekly Candle / End of WeekThere are only two things that can happen on Friday's Daily Candle 1) Price may continue to create a larger weekly candle body or 2) the weekly candle will form a larger wick and retrace This week we are observing the latter Price is pulling away from the High prices created during yesterday's New York Session If the Daily candle closes beneath 1.0762 then we have returned back into the range and will be eyeing out potential short setups to begin next week. For Buys I would've preferred that we would have held 1.07615 Daily S/R Zone as we can see it played a key role in pivoting on 6/2, 5/19, and 3/27 Now we continue the range as far as Im concerned. We may pullback to the highs ( 1.0774 and 1.0786) early next week ( Monday/Tuesday ) then dive back to support at 1.069 Daily Support.

Ongoing Range above Key level 🎴We can observe the Ongoing Range above our Key Level ( Weekly Level 1.066 ) Monday Asian Session -> Bearish Monday London Session -> Bearish Monday NY Session -> Bullish Tuesday Asian Session -> Range, and at best slightly Bullish Tuesday London Session -> Bearish Tuesday NY Session -> Bullish Both London Session's this week have been Bearish thus far. As we approach unemployment claims data on Thursday NY Session, I can observe a Bullish London Session and increase overall on Eurusd until then. Price is not quite having the effect it once had when we initially dipped into our Weekly level last week 1.06636. The reactions off the Weekly level are becoming smaller and less pronounced. We are still holding steady however and price has not dipped below our weekly level since the initial touch. Short Sellers are happy that the Daily candle is closing bearish and they would prefer a close below Daily support at 1.06885. Buyers are happy that the decrease over the last 4 weeks on Eurusd has come to a halt as the Daily timeframe ranges above our weekly level through 1 week and 2 days into the next week. The manufacturing data yesterday was bullish for Eurusd and caused an increase in the price. Consequently, this increase was corrected down to the price of EU prior to any manufacturing data. However, NY session has been bullish for the 2nd day in a row as EU holds steady above our weekly key level. Today I had a very good trading day taking buys at lower prices near what was a 1Hr Zone at the time 1.067. The Level has since turned into a 4Hr Zone as New York has successfully rejected those lower prices.

USD Buyers Surprised by News Release 🎋 Hold or fold? Manufacturing Data sent Eurusd price soaring 42 Pips in less than 11 minutes as the expected figure missed. Is the current Price sustainable for Eurusd? The Weekly candle dipped down to down Daily Support Level 1.06684 and coinciding with manufacturing data we have rejected our Daily support level. In order for the current Daily candle to close bullish price needs to close above 1.07107. Bullish Argument - If the Daily candle closes where it currently sits, it looks like a Bullish hammer candle. - A Bullish Hammer candle rejecting Daily Support Level 1.06884 - Price has retraced Asian session and London sessions's bearish descent - I am anticipating a steady bullish recovery in EURUSD price since the meeting minutes on May 24 ( For more, please check the post " Ultimate Catalyst : Interest Rates News " ) - The Weekly candle last week closed as a Doji candle, an Indecision candle as bears ran into a wall at our weekly support zone 1.06643 Given all of this, It is very common to see News releases get corrected. I believe this will occur over the next few sessions as we could observe during the May 10th CPI announcement. On this announcement Price initially spiked up with news. This occured only to see Eurusd price corrected as the market digested the news. It took 18 Hours before Eurusd corrected the May CPI news. Price on Eurusd was decreasing to close out last week. This week price had only been decreasing with exception for the New York session manufacturing data news release. I am anticipating Eurusd to range and gather more orders around 1.0688 Daily support before seeing anymore upside.

More Gas in the Tank? Eurusd 🌬️If we are trading with the trend then it would be wise of us to continue to look for short setups. However, Price has plunged to the downside plenty and it is reasonable to ask when will we see a correction. My thoughts are that we see a dip early in the week. Buyers eventually show up around our weekly level 1.06654 and we continue up for the rest of the week or consolidate after liquidating late shorts. The debt ceiling controversy may be used as an excuse to pump risk assets. It would also provide a nice opportunity for the dollar to pullback. Alot of talks about the dollar being over-extended may see a last and final burst to liquidate any dollar shorts at these level's. After that the dollar may then ease off the highs and pull down for the rest of the week. (Meanwhile EurUsd would go up) A double bottom looks like it may be forming on the 4Hr and so we may an increase on Eurusd sooner rather than later. Anything may happen and so we must follow the processes we have set in place to protect ourselves. Expect nothing from the market and it cannot dissapoint you. There is always another day to trade your setup as there is always another week to execute your strategy. Trading Talk: The way in which I execute my two setups during NY session are as follows. Setup 1: Outline the specific zone you would like to execute this setup. Set your alert(s) Setup 2: Pick your current bullish or bearish bias and write it on the chart. I only allow myself up to 15 Trades / Day But I will not lose more than the Percentage equivalent of 2 Losing trades. Beforehand my risk management strategy was only as good as my skill. But Sometimes to a fault. Now my risk management strategy is as good as my Preparation. And this will encourage only the higher quality setups. Have a good trading week.

Jobs Data 🏗️ / Weekly Level 1.06643 Eurusd Jobs Data was expected to ease over the prior period as the U.S. may have had a smaller amount of job opportunties for it's citizens during the month of May. It turns that the U.S. had more about 160,000 more job openings than was expected. So this is positive for a few reasons - Data was expected to ease over the prior period but we didn't ease and instead the U.S. gained job opportunities during May. - Data was better than expected by a significant margin when compared to previous job openings data releases. This is Optimistic for the U.S. Economy. The impact of the News on price action has initially gone down and dropped from our 4Hr S/R level at 1.07018 Moving Forward I anticipate consolidation or a retracement in price while we hold above 1.06643. If we continue our descent and USD news turns out to be strong enough, our next target is 1.06235. After that, and with NFP data on friday, we may continue to drop to 1.05435. I took a buy at our weekly level 1.0665 when price creased the initial low created during the first 1 minute of news. I have since been stopped out by a small margin before price retraced in my anticipated direction but would take the trade once more given the chance. Weekly Level's are quite strong area's on the chart. Stronger than Daily Level's! They Hold quite frequently as we can observe from the trading earlier in the day. 2 Hours after London open was when we initially tapped into 1.06643 Weekly Level. It coincided with the new 4Hr candle and explains why you can observe no bottom wick on the previous 4Hr candle. Big Players trading on the Higher timeframes are supporting a demand area here. As a scalper I have them to help with my intra-day activities.

SHORT EURUSD (Monthly Timeframe)EURUSD on the monthly timeframe is bearish and its downtrend channel and heading back to parity or below parity levels. The current month's close will form a bearish engulfing pattern, a retest of the double top neckline, and a failure to close above the resistance (supply zone) at area 1.09-1.10. which confirms its next possible leg down movement continuation to the next support (demand) zone at area 1.03-1.04 and a break of such level, next levels are to the previous low 0.95 and to the new low at the lower monthly downtrend channel at the level 0.90.

Sovereign Debt Crisis - Cracks Showing in the Yen?Long position on OANDA:USDJPY Interest rates on US dollars are rising globally, at a very rapid rate. Capital has been flowing towards the United States for the last couple years, as a global flight to security occurs as fear rises in markets during times of turmoil. Because the US Dollar is the reserve currency of the globe, debts backed by US Treasuries are quickly becoming expensive - particularly for sovereigns. Sovereign debt, particularly long-tenor notes and bonds, have demonstrated to be very illiquid in the last decade. Globally, central banks have attempted to combat this issue with lower interest rates and quantitative easing. This theory, however is fundamentally flawed since it does not address the lack of price discovery in these markets. Central banks can support these markets domestically, but without a foreign buyer they hold little value, and the currency will experience inflation relative to other currencies. In this instance, this is the US Dollar. See this chart of the British 10-Year Bond (Gilt) Futures, where there was a panic in the market a few months ago as pension funds holding large quantities of Gilts were rendered insolvent. The same pattern can be observed on a USDGBP chart, as capital fled the nation and its debt lost value (rates rise). The crisis that nations now face, is that they are burning the candle at both ends. Japan has been employing strict interest rate controls, and extraordinary liquidity-providing measures to domestic banks for decades to stimulate inflation. In the past couple months however, they have begun to employ currency controls, to curb the loss of value of the Yen in FX markets. Despite this inflation they have had little success stimulating growth domestically. Negative rates reflect a negative demand for sovereign debt, as if the entity "buying" it must be paid to do so. Rates have also gone negative in Europe, see the financial capital, Germany, has struggled since 2009 to find a market for its debt. US banks are reluctant to lend via repo to European banks for their sovereign entities possess such great risk The Reverse Repo facility (RRP) has become a black hole for capital around the globe. During QE it offered the highest return on cash for money-market funds and other money market participants. As rates rise globally, so too does risk. As markets like Europe are unable to keep up with the rise in rates as is occurring in the United States, so capital will continue to flee these nations under duress and create a feedback loop. The RRP is a zero-risk investment, so offers a safe home for flighty capital looking to liquidate long-term debt. See chart of Yen, inverse Euro and RRP usage The Bank of Japan has become unable to control the market on its 10-year debt security, and it will continue to rise and push against the imaginary "ceiling" imposed on it, until a currency crisis occurs and a crisis in sovereign debt markets may begin to be realised. Capital will flow very quickly towards the United States in this event. Since it is the financial capital of the world still, as it is the reserve currency of most foreign governments, any assets priced in US dollars will grow in value. Particularly equities, this will be a theme in markets over the following years. War in Ukraine will continue to create massive inflationary pressure globally, as capital concentrates around a very expensive and complicated geopolitical conflict. Rates will continue to rise until this is resolved, and sovereign debt will quickly become un-affordable as the price falls due to rate increases. Debt is already concentrating in short-term debt markets, like REPO, FIMA, SOFR and so on. Pension and mutual funds will quickly be rendered insolvent as they are the parties which hold gigantic quantities of these dangerously illiquid bonds. BEWARE of these markets, they are a ticking time bomb and all global currencies have a massive exposure.

A New week and Eu continues the descent 💎Eurusd is currently jumping around inside a tight intra-day range. Eurusd appears to be rejecting our 4Hr S/R Zone and maybe EU will turn into another textbook opportunity to sell a resistance zone in a downtrend. We have bearish momentum and a wick to fill on the previous week's bottom wick. The previous week's bottom wick currently stretches 45 pips that we can easily go fill. London Open appeared to want to drop to the downside but the market was not ready. For New York we have returned to the top of the range and the bulls are struggling. The NY Open 1Hr candle attempted to make a move up but ended up leaving a wick and closing back inside our 4hr range between 1.082 4Hr Zone and 1.0806. A tight knit 14 pip range possibly distributing to the downside. Another clue is the 4Hr candle that closed 1Hr ago, failing to close above 1.082 4Hr S/R Zone. The Daily Candle has been bullish but the upside has been limited due to our 4Hr 1.082 Level. (Sellers are protecting this area) The Daily Candle keeps testing buyers as it threatens to flip at our 4Hr Support level 1.0806. This is where the market opened at Asian yesterday and if 1.0806 4hr zone doesn't hold then we will be looking towards a retest of 1.078 1Hr Zone in which we would be filling the previous week's bottom wick with momentum. Momentum that has been carried over from the previous week. Looking for this price 1.078 soon or we may range longer and will have to re-evaluate.

EUR/USD -25/5/2023-• The pair lost more than 300 pips in 2 trading weeks • Short and medium term trends are bearish for the following reasons: 1- Prices broke below a long term ascending trend line and is trading below it for the second day 2- Prices are trading below 20,50 and 100 Moving Average 3- Prices broke below the 61.8% Fibonacci level of the latest advance 4- Prices are trading inside a parallel downward channel • Long term trend is neutral to bullish as we got some mixed signals for the following reasons: 1- Prices are still trading above the 200 Moving Average, a long term bullish signal 2- 1.07 support level is holding for now and this might give the bulls a double bottom signal entry if the pair gathers momentum again All in all, prices are expected to go sideways soon as the downward channel is tight and we are approaching oversold conditions and strong support. Bulls are aiming to get a double bottom entry at 1.0710 Bears target a break below 1.0710 to get another leg down to 1.0510 Traders, if you like this idea please comment and like ✅ Here to answer all your questions, Good luck

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.

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.

Going with --> Gut Feeling/Spider Instinct🕷️/Sixth Sense The Weekly Candle closed bearish last week. This created the second weekly bearish close in a row denoting bearish momentum. 1.0866 Weekly S/R Zone is no longer relevant. Our Relevant weekly level's now stand as -Weekly Resistance Level : 1.1024 -Weekly Support Level : 1.06647 Our Daily Level's stand as - Daily Support Level : 1.07597 - Daily Resistance Level : 1.08739 I think it's reasonable to see some selling pressure to start off the trading for this week. Or may we at least anticipate a double bottom sort of structure and retest of our 1hr Zone 1.07802

Unemployment Data was a Catalyst for more Eurusd Downside 🚅The Weekly Candle is now plunging down into a Free Fall. Unemployment Claims Data was poised to improve with 10K less people filing for Unemployment. The data was better than expected as more than 20K less people filed for unemployment in comparison to the previous period. In previous posts I talked about how this may provide a continuation for further downside and more Dollar Buys to come (More Eurusd Sells to come). This occurred and so now the question is if Momentum will continue to help Eu Fall to the next Daily Zone at 1.07598. Our Weekly Target was just hit at 1.07925 4Hr Zone but price may keep dropping hard. -The Weekly Candle last week Printed bearish below our Weekly S/R Zone 1.0866 - The first two days of this week saw Euro buyers to not be able to sustain themselves - Price was gathering liquidity setting up the move for later in the week which we are seeing now - Price did a perfect break and retest at 4Hr level 1.08462 and returned back to the lows at 1.08150 1Hr Zone just prior to news -Looking at the 4Hr Timeframe we can at least expect an 8ish Pip bottom wick on this NY 4Hr Candle -Look at the sell pressure, price keeps dropping and I'm looking towards 1.07592 Daily Level to end off the week from here
