Dax - Breakout in Play!We got some decent news over the weekend:
US/China trade truce, constructive surprise
Trump meeting with Kim Jong Un, a Russian/Saudi OPEC+
agreement on extending cuts. The markets are currently
digesting this risk-on sentiment with CHF and Jpy sold,
NZD, CAD and USD bought, and equities strong.
We like Dax longs this week especially after the
strong gap open.
Buy on a break of 12592 looking for 12740s!

BSVUSD - Continuation Breakout Setting Up!Technical Setup forming on BSVUSD with a continuation breakout towards recent highs.
AUDCAD - Data Divergence Inspires Shorts!RBA Gov Lowe came out and said that it is "not unrealistic"
to expect a further cut to the RBA's cash rate.
We like playing AUD weakness against recent CAD
strength, after a splendid CPI beat yesterday.
Prefer pullbacks to get aboard, towards the short-term
resistance because the main target is close.
Dow Jones - Continuation Breakout Setup ahead of FOMCStocks received a boost from the more positive wave of
headlines relating to a US-China trade deal. This led to a big
push in the equities markets, before things settled down.
Ranges are likely to hold before tonight's FOMC decision.
The trend is up and continuation breaks are favoured
if we get the dovish FOMC that everyone expects.
Trade AFTER the event - not before.
EURUSD - Bias Negative, Waiting for Draghi at SintraSlow morning in FX. Most traders are waiting for
Draghi at Sintra or the FOMC on Wednesday.
Euro fell back after the bullish ECB meeting and
now momentum is negative. Is the market is ready
to embrace a U-turn and explore the opposite direction?
Only Draghi or Powell will provide the answer.
Play continuation breaks, likely on any Sintra news today.
BSVUSD - Continuation Breakout Setting Up!There has been a lot more buzz around adoption as the price
of Bitcoin surges, with many mainstream names coming out in
support of blockchain integration. Demand for web 3.0
applications is on the rise.
As usual, the technical aspects are more influential
than the fundamentals for BSV.
The upwards momentum has started again and we like
the odds of buying a continuation breakout today.
Dow Jones - Risk-Off Returning, Shorts Favoured!Risk appetite is once again sour after Trump tweeted
and a Washington Post interview fuelled concerns over
political pressure on the Fed and trade woes anew.
The US President first tweeted that the US is put at a
‘big disadvantage’ as US rates are kept too high while
others are devaluing their currencies, explicitly
mentioning the EUR and CNY.
Separately, Trump said that he is currently ‘holding up’
the deal between the US and China on trade, accusing
China of reneging on previously agreed terms.
We believe there is more pain in store for equities today,
and would sell the Dow here near resistance.
CadJpy - Long Setup in Play!The Jpy crosses have benefitted from the weekend
news of an agreement between the US and Mexico,
and on reassurances from the Chinese government
that it will continue to provide stimulus.
We like using the risk-on sentiment to buy CadJpy
given the strength seen in the Loonie since
last week's employment numbers.
Buy on dips towards 81.80 or on a break of the
continuation level.
GBPCAD - Looking for Shorts After GDP Data!UK leadership hopefuls launch campaigns to take
control of Brexit today. Initial news due around
17.00 CET. Boris Johnson is the main candidate
and he is pro-Brexit.
GBP is being pressured because of this,
since no EU-Government wants to see a
no-deal Brexit.
At the same time, Canadian data was
extremely strong and we like the odds
of further weakness in GBPCAD today.
UK GDP is due in around 1H, and we also
suspect it will be worse.
Sell on worse data, or after a pullback to resistance.
GBPCAD - Get Short On Pullbacks to 6970/80!PM May will be leaving today, and this opens
the debat for her successor. Boris Johnson
is the main candidate and he is pro-Brexit.
GBP is being pressured because of this,
since no EU-Government wants to see a
no-deal Brexit.
At the same time, IVEY PMI was better
yesterday and CAD Employment may beat.
We like shorting pullbacks from current levels to 6980.
Crude Oil - Look for Longs at 53.00 towards 54.20!Oil prices rose around 1% to move further away from five-
month lows hit earlier in the week, buoyed by a report
that Washington could postpone trade tariffs on Mexico and
signs OPEC and other producers may extend crude supply
cuts.
We like the odds of a bounce from 53.00 towards the short-term
resistance in the 54.20s.
EURUSD - 1.1300 in Sight, ECB Action totally Priced In!EurUsd remains in a range after the ECB
left rates unchanged, announced favourable
TLTROs and pushed the first rate hikes into
2020.
This was ALL PRICED IN. The Euro is now
higher as a result.
We may take out the 1.1300 level if Draghi
does nothing to inspire dovishness.
EURNZD - Sell on Intraday Pullbacks!The Euro has held up recently due to the US Dollar weakness.
However, ECB Villeroy said Europe was facing great economic
uncertainties, with trade tension the biggest threat to growth.
On the data front, Eurozone CPI was softer than expected.
At the same time, Kiwi did receive a bit of support after the
RBNZ Assistant Governor said rates would remain 'broadly'
around current levels.
Tomorrow's ECB meeting is forecast to be on the dovish side.
We expect more weakness in EurNzd going forward.
Prefer intraday pullbacks towards 0.7000 to get aboard.
BSVUSD - "Real" BitCoin in Accumulation, Poised for BreakoutsNo change in our stance on BitCoin. We are in a range, consolidating ahead of future breakouts. Bias remains up as the market accumulates for a break through all-time highs.
GBPAUD - Downtrend intact, Awaiting LoweThe Australian Dollar has been bid up on Tuesday, despite
today's RBA rate cut and round of softer Aussie retail sales.
Why is AUD stronger despite the rate cut? Simply because
it was already priced into the market, while the softer data has been less of a focus.
We are close to targets currently, and we have Gov
Lowe speaking in just over 30 minutes.
Stay flat ahead of Lowe, prefer pullbacks to engage this trend.
Dax - Looking to Short on Pullbacks!US equities slid and sovereign bonds surged as investors
feared President Trump's shock move to slap tariffs on
Mexico risked tipping the United States, and maybe the
whole world, into recession.
The risk-off move has been strong during Asia and we
like Dax shorts as a way to play this theme into Europe.
Today, since we already pushed through the target,
we like shorts on pullbacks into the pullback zone.
BSVUSD - Continuation Breakouts Favoured!We like continuation breakouts on BitCoin from the current situation.
However be cautious of aberrations and spikes. Liquidity on the "true" bitcoin is very low
and thus the cryptocurrency is prone to manipulation.
Keep your stops in the machine at all times, and prefer short holding periods.
This is a trading vehicle, not an investment!
GBPJPY - Get Short on Pullbacks!Risk off is definitely the theme today.
Asian stocks and U.S. futures tumbled on Trump’s
Mexico tariff surprise, while reports of Beijing’s plan
to restrict exports of rare earths to the U.S. if needed
added to ongoing trade war angst globally. Data also
showed China’s manufacturing sector slowed more than
expected in May.
JPY crosses have been sold aggressively. Today we
favour only pullbacks in order to get acceptable
risk:reward.
Dax - Continuation Breakouts Probable on Risk-Off!US equities slid and sovereign bonds surged as investors feared President Trump's shock move to slap tariffs on Mexico risked tipping the United States, and maybe the whole world, into recession. We like the odds of selling Dax this morning on a continuation break, in line with the risk-off sentiment.
BitCoin - BSV at All Time Highs! Get Long On Pullbacks!We are initiating coverage of the "real" Bitcoin
after Craig Wright (craigwright.net) claimed
to be Satoshi Nakamoto.
Coverage of Crypto will always be more technical
in nature than in FX or other assets as it is a
purely speculative vehicle.
Yesterday's Continuation breakout pushed prices
to all-time highs. Profit taking is to be expected now.
Prefer pullbacks into shor-term support to get long
again ahead of a new breakout!
BSV - "Real" BitCoin Poised for Further Gains!We are initiating coverage of the "real" Bitcoin
after Craig Wright (craigwright.net) claimed
