EUR/USD Long Against The RetailersLast week the dollar was mostly weak with DXY currently sitting at the 101 area and is about to test the key 100 level most likely after last week's much worse-than-expected Chicago PMI which came at 46.9 versus the expected 51 which was already far lower than the previous 55.8 and now sliding in the below 50 contraction zone. Another negative for the dollar could be the U.S. Navy killing Houthi Rebels in Red Sea. Last week was quiet for the Euro with no economic release so we are left with the overall expectation that the ECB is trying to look hawkish pushing back on cutting rates soon. - This week Tuesday 16:15 we have Euro Manufacturing’s PMIs in Spain, Italy, France, Germany, and the Eurozone which are mostly expected to stay around the previous levels which are still well below the key 50 level for the indicator. - Also Tuesday we have a 1st tier US Manufacturing PMI which is expected to drop from 49.4 to 48.2 but after the sharp decline in last week’s Chicago one, a surprise to the downside can be expected which will weigh on the dollar further. We have an extremely Bearish DXM paired with Institutional traders favouring the euro combined with the 5 year seasonality being slightly bearish sitting at -0.69% but the 10-year one being at positive 0.14% so seasonality can be considered neutral for our potential trade. Potential entry at 0.50 Fib retracement level on the 4H which is also a Big psychological level being at 1.10 area with 0.5R and another 0.5R after a bullish engulfing candle. SL on the first potential entry will be at 1.09240 which is around 88pips which is more than the ATR average at this zone for the whole of 2023 Daily chart.

How Fed policy impact sharp movements in Forex pairsIn the second installment of my series on trading FOREX currency pairs, I emphasize the significance of adopting a macro view and comprehending central bank policies for achieving consistent profits in forex trading. For those new to trading, I suggest revisiting my first post where I delve into the significance of analyzing interest rate differentials for your initial trading idea. It's advisable to steer clear of trading signals provided by educators or social media traders that lack explanations and do not share a verified P&L, or lack a proven track record of consistent profitable trades by withholding their brokers statement. If you're aiming to incur losses in your trading journey, then feel free to join those who request payment for sketching lines on charts and label them as trading signals Today, let's explore the influence of Federal Reserve speakers on potentially reversing EURUSD trends within the context of the broader macroeconomic landscape. By focusing on what Fed speakers communicate and acting on those, rather than relying on technical indicators, one could have achieved a very respectable 100% (even +600%) gain in their trading account, despite the modest 4.88% rise in EURUSD throughout the entire year! In Summary the 2023 macroeconomics landscape, Eurozone: • Economic Growth: The Eurozone economy experienced a slowdown in 2023 due to the war in Ukraine, the energy crisis, and rising inflation. However, growth remained positive, surpassing initial expectations. • Inflation: Inflation surged in the Eurozone in 2023, fueled by energy costs and supply chain disruptions. The ECB embarked on a gradual tightening of monetary policy, raising interest rates for the first time in over a decade. • Geopolitical Risk: The war in Ukraine significantly impacted the Eurozone, raising concerns about energy security and economic stability. • Political Developments: Political uncertainty in Italy and other Eurozone countries could have weighed on the Euro at times. United States: • Economic Growth: The US economy was comparatively strong in 2023, although growth moderated compared to the previous year. • Inflation: Inflation also rose in the US, prompting the Federal Reserve to embark on a more aggressive tightening cycle, raising interest rates significantly faster than the ECB. • Monetary Policy Divergence: The differing pace of monetary policy tightening between the ECB and the Fed created a major headwind for the Euro, strengthening the US Dollar. • Trade Tensions: US-China trade tensions continued to simmer throughout 2023, adding to global uncertainty and potentially favoring the USD as a safe haven currency. Mapping out the occurrences of currency-moving statements by Fed speakers along a timeline reveals their substantial influence compared to any technical analysis or chart data. By acting on Fed speak, one could substantially reduce their losses or increase their profits by creating very specific Fed trades 1. 2nd Feb FOMC Meeting: Fed maintains rates, but hints at future hikes 2. 15th March Powell speech: Emphasizes commitment to fighting inflation 3. 3rd May FOMC Meeting: Fed raises rates by 50 bps, signals faster tightening 4. 8th June Powell speech: Warns of potential recession risks 5. 25th July FOMC Meeting: Fed raises rates by 75 bps, strongest hike in decades 6. 20th Sept FOMC Meeting: Fed raises rates by 50 bps, reiterates commitment to fighting inflation 7. 2nd Nov FOMC Meeting: Fed slows pace of hikes to 25 bps, acknowledges economic slowdown 8. 14th Dec Powell speech: Indicates a Fed pivot Make sure you plan your trades in accordance with the following FOMC meetings in 2024 January 30-31 March 19-20* Apr/May 30-1 June 11-12* July 30-31 September 17-18* November 6-7 December 17-18* * Represents a summary of economic projections - ie market movers Good luck traders and here's to a triple digit account gain in 2024.

3 (bullish) ideas for $TRAC (BRC20)Narrative: CRYPTOCAP:BTC BTC and the BRC-20 tokens are taking a little breather, which is certainly good for the market in the medium term. I'm particularly bullish on LSE:TRAC , a project that sits at an MC of just under 100 million and for which I believe a 10x is within the realm of possibility. These 3 bullish ideas come to mind - accumulation at $4 and at $5 (green zones), TP from $7 (red). Of course, things can turn out completely differently. Do not forget that the crypto market in general and the new protocols on BTC such as Ordinals, Stamps, PIPE, etc. in particular are subject to huge volatility and any project can go to 0 at any time. HIGH RISK! NFA.

How Short rates affect EURUSDThis excerpt is part of a larger blog post where I'll delve into my 2024 trading strategy and explain the rationale behind my trades. For those new to trading, early career decisions play a pivotal role in shaping one's trading trajectory, significantly impacting both profitability and mental ability to continue trading over the years. The two choices are clear: 1. Follow trade signals devoid of explanations, endorsed by traders concealing their identity, background and their P&L data. These traders may excel at marketing on social channels but might be grappling with substantial losses or in most cases lack proof of making consistent profitable trades in their short careers. They often will have conflict of interest arrangements with brokers, encouraging frequent trading leading to unnecessary losses. OR 2. Grasp the art of consistently making trades by understanding fundamental drivers. This involves being discerning about trades based on volatility parameters that have a higher probability of profit. If option 1 resonates with you, then it's time to redirect your attention to the myriad of 'Educators' who, despite lacking real trading experience, are eager to part you from your hard-earned cash. Always demand a verified P&L link (not screen shots) and observe their response. For those opting for option 2 , this marks the commencement of a series of blog posts interpreting endogenous and exogenous factors that influence forex pairs and how to capitalize on them. Background. When I formulate a trade idea, my first task is to gauge the purchasing power of a currency. This involves analyzing an extensive set of historical indicators like PMIs, NMIs, CC, building permits, etc. The resulting scorecard, based on historical values, aids in determining whether a currency is gaining or losing purchasing power. Comparing this exercise across other G10FX currencies provides the foundation for my trade. I can identify which currency has a short bias, which has a long bias, and the specific pair I am confident in shorting or going long. All this occurs before delving into volatility parameters (which we'll explore in a future post). When a future data is released, the movement in the pair is either confirming or contradicting the trade idea, the trade idea is still valid but maybe it doesn't have as much margin of safety as first thought. In this blog, I'll delve into one key statistical driver— the short-term interest rate differentials. While crucial, it's not the sole determinant of EURUSD movement. Last month, Jay Powell's Fed hinted at considering three rate cuts in 2024. This decision stems from the U.S. economy's accelerated path to disinflation. Powell, having waited for inflation since 2018 and taking no action in 2021 & 2022, aims to prevent the economy from slipping into deflation. Simply put, disinflation benefits equities and the economy, but deflation is detrimental to jobs and the stock market. Meanwhile, the ECB has adopted a cautious "wait and see" approach, despite its economy teetering on the brink of deflation and a slowing trajectory that may raise concerns later on. The ECB is keen to avoid replicating the error made by Jean-Claude Trichet, who acted hastily in 2012, leading to the collapse of several Greek and Italian banks and triggering a 14-year period of Euro instability. Notably, the ECB operates under a single mandate, distinguishing itself from the Federal Reserve, which manages two mandates. Currently, the ECB has communicated no intention to engage in rate cuts, opting to maintain higher rates until the data supports such a shift, particularly if inflation consistently remains below the 2% threshold. Given the current scenario, we work with the available information. According to the latest dot plots, the Federal Reserve anticipates three rate cuts, while market sentiment hints at eight cuts in 2024, not all of which have been fully factored in yet. Comparing the current interest rates: Federal Reserve: Current: 5.500% Priced in (10-year): 3.8% (1.7%) European Central Bank: Current: 4.500% Priced in (10-year): 2% (2.5%) The existing interest rate differential is expected to continue narrowing towards 0.8%, propelling the EURUSD higher to around 1.20-1.23 by year-end as new data confirms the U.S. trajectory toward disinflation. While this ascent may not follow a linear path, periodic reevaluation of the trade (around 1.15-1.17) will be necessary as quarterly data is released. There's potential for an accelerated upward movement on EURUSD, reminiscent of the 2017-2018 surge from 1.05 to 1.25. With the trade idea now taking shape, the focus shifts to volatility parameters. These factors will dictate trade size, determine permissible drawdown levels before exiting, and guide decisions regarding necessary hedges. Details on these considerations will be explored in future posts. For full transparency, my P&L (+700%) is readily available on my profile page, along with information on my community. Wishing fellow traders a successful hunt and a happy new year.

MATIC/USDT 1DInterval ChartHello everyone, I invite you to review the MATIC chart on a one-day time frame. Let's start by identifying the downward trend using the yellow line, which shows that the price has gone up and is currently struggling to stay above it. Let's start by marking support places for the price and we can see that the first support is at $0.86, but if the price drops lower, we have the next support at $0.72, and then the next support at $0.62. Looking the other way, we can similarly determine the resistance areas that the price must face. And here we see that currently the price has been rejected by the resistance at $1.15, but if we manage to overcome it, we will move towards the resistance zone from $1.34 to $1.57. When we turn on ema cross 50 and 200, we will see the place where the indicator confirmed the return to a strong upward trend. The CHOP index indicates that there is still some energy left for movement. The RSI indicator shows that we have returned to the place where there was a previous rebound, while the STOCH indicator has exceeded the upper limit, which resulted in a slowdown in growth and may result in a price recovery.

ETH/USDT 1DInterval ChartHello everyone, I invite you to a review of ETH in pair with USDT, also on a one-day time frame. First, we will use the yellow line to mark the downward trend lines from which the price came out on top. Now let's move on to marking the support places. We will use the trend based fib extension tool to mark supports, and as you can see, the first support is at the price of $2,152, but if the support is broken, we may see a drop to the area of the strong support zone from $1,881 to $1,738. Looking the other way, we can similarly mark places where the price should encounter resistance on the way up. And here we have the first very strong resistance at the level of $2,459, and then the price must face the resistance zone from $2,833 to $3,028. Now please look at the RSI indicator, which shows a slight rebound from the middle of the range, with room for price growth. However, the STOCH indicator shows that we are exceeding the upper limit, which may limit the upward movement. Index CHOP indicates that there is a lot of energy for the upcoming move.

BNB/USDT 1DInterval ChartHello everyone, I invite you to review the BNB chart. As we can see, after the announcement of the new lanchpad, the price with dynamic movements overcame a strong downward trend line. Also, when we turn on EMA Cross 50 and 200, we will see that the indicator confirms the return to a strong upward trend, now we need to watch whether we will maintain this trend. After such a dynamic increase, it is worth spreading the Fib Retracement mesh to check the current resistance. And here you can see that the price is approaching a strong resistance zone from $320 to $352. However, when the price starts to reverse, we can similarly determine support, and we can see the first significant support at the level of $271, and then we can see the price return to the strong support zone from $225 to $201. The RSI indicator shows that we have exceeded the upper limit, which may result in a price recovery, and the situation on the STOCH indicator is similar, which may also result in a recovery. However, the CHOP index shows that this movement is running out of energy.

GBPUSD: Bullish Rebound Confirmed, Eyes Set on 1.28321In the intricate realm of global finance, the decisions and policies of major central banks wield considerable influence over currency markets. One such pivotal institution is the Federal Reserve, the central bank of the United States, whose recent policy trajectory has had a discernible impact on the GBPUSD currency pair. This essay delves into the nuanced dynamics that unfolded in response to the Federal Reserve's dovish stance and its consequential effect on the GBPUSD exchange rate. The Federal Reserve's Dovish Turn: Central to this narrative is the Federal Reserve's decision to temper the pace of interest rate hikes. The Fed opted for a dovish stance, signaling a cautious approach towards tightening monetary policy. Powell's inclination towards dovishness, characterized by a reluctance to aggressively raise benchmark interest rates, marked a departure from more hawkish postures seen in the last year. Impact on GBPUSD: Commencing on December 14th, an observable surge in the GBPUSD exchange rate ensued, catapulting from 1.25002 to 1.27937. This substantial uptick was emblematic of market participants reacting to the Federal Reserve's dovish signals, with investors seeking higher-yielding assets in response to the diminished allure of the U.S. dollar. The relative attractiveness of the British pound against its American counterpart found favor among traders, contributing to the pronounced rise in the exchange rate. Support Levels and Resilience: While the GBPUSD pair experienced a subsequent correction, touching the support level at 1.26124, its resilience was noteworthy. The bounce back from this support level underscored the underlying strength and confidence in the pound, even in the face of corrective movements. This resilience is indicative of a market sentiment that continues to favor the British currency. Future Trajectory: A Glimpse at 1.28321: As the GBPUSD pair rides the waves of market sentiment and central bank policies, forecasts point towards a potential further ascent. The likelihood of the exchange rate climbing to 1.28321 is grounded in the persisting dovish stance of the Federal Reserve, which, if sustained, could continue to dampen the appeal of the U.S. dollar in comparison to other currencies. Rejection at Support: Unleashing Bullish Momentum In the 2-hour timeframe, GBPUSD witnessed a crucial rejection at the 1.26903 support level, signaling a robust defense by bulls. This pivotal event serves as a potent indicator of underlying strength, hinting at a potential shift in market sentiment and affirming the narrative of a bullish continuation. Technical Analysis: Bullish Rejection Pattern Beyond numerical significance, the rejection at 1.26903 represents a convergence of market forces. Buying interest surpassed selling pressure, forming a bullish rejection candlestick pattern. Traders interpreting this pattern would likely see it as a confirmation of the market's intent to resume its upward trajectory. Continuation of Uptrend: Fueled by Resilience Confirmation of the rejection aligns with GBPUSD's resilience amid corrective movements. Buoyant market sentiment, driven by the Federal Reserve's dovish stance, acts as a catalyst for renewed upward momentum. Surpassing the previous high of 1.27937 becomes critical, paving the way for an ascent towards the envisioned target of 1.28321. Traders armed with confirmation from the rejection may target this milestone in the ongoing bullish trend. Risk Management: Navigating Uncertainties While the support rejection supports a bullish outlook, prudent risk management remains crucial. Unforeseen geopolitical or economic developments could introduce volatility, necessitating vigilance. Traders must be mindful of stop-loss levels and stay attuned to evolving market conditions. Conclusion: In the dynamic realm of currency markets, the rejection at the support level of 1.26903 serves as a pivotal chapter in the ongoing saga of GBPUSD. It not only validates the resilience of the pound but also provides a technical confirmation for those seeking to ride the anticipated wave of bullish momentum. As the pair gears up for a potential ascent towards 1.28321, traders and analysts alike will closely monitor the evolving landscape, mindful of the delicate balance between opportunity and risk in the ever-shifting currents of the foreign exchange market.
