This shows the movements made in the SPY during the FOMC minutes in 2022
This week we see what the fed is truly made of. Given continued hawkishness from the Fed in their minutes, by the end of Wednesday I believe we could be hovering just above the pre-covid highs in wait of the inflation report Thursday. If inflation is shown not to be slowing down I believe the follow through on this move down could be jaw dropping. In that case,...
The Australian dollar has edged higher on Wednesday. AUD/USD is trading at 0.6950 in European trade. Australia's inflation rate accelerated in the second quarter, but the market reaction was muted, as the 6.1% gain was a notch below the estimate of 6.2%. Inflation still remains the RBA's number one problem, as CPI jumped from 5.1% in Q1. With inflation coming in...

Goodday traders, Big day today again in the market with US CPI eyed and the FOMC minutes later in the day. A little breakdown of some scenarios so we are prepared: CPI 🔷 Scenario 1: CPI higher than forecast (>4%) Dollar will break the 94.5 weekly resistance and most likely will settle the week with more bullishness to expect in the coming weeks.

Gold rises for the fifth straight day even as market sentiment dwindles. In doing so, the yellow metal keeps the previous day’s upside break of 100-DMA amid recovering oscillators. This in turn joins the market’s cautious mood ahead of the FOMC minutes. Given the US dollar pullback adding to the aforementioned catalysts, gold prices remain ready to battle a...
The price of usd/jpy is not able to break up the static resistance. This because of the macro scenario we can find around the us economy. We can find the minor one around 111.90. From here it is channeled again into a very short/short-term downtrend. That should bring it back to test the dynamic support area. As this movement is one of the most common in this...
Hey guys! Today my intention was to upload a trade update idea on Gold, because we entered another buy. We will be doing it tomorrow night... This one is quite a better one with a nice setup just formed minutes ago during FED announcement. We were waiting on USDCAD for another move to the top - for a short entry after 3 cycles of bullishness. The high was...

After 5days higher EUR$ Statistically is a 80th percentile sell opportunity - the monetary policy minutes were dovish on the margin reiterating and stressing the ECB's willingness to "Boost stimulus again if needed". This should put downside pressure on EUR given september meeting is coming up (when most likely to add to easing). EURAUD and EURUSD shorts here look...
FOMC minutes were neutral-dovish on the margin as expected, with members split on calls for further rate hikes - though there was a general consensus that the Fed needed to acumulate more data before moving on rates (this could be dovish given in real time data has been poor). Several wanted more confidence on inflation, since this is the casewe know inflation...
The RBA was relatively neutral on the margin, keeping their inflation targets the same at 1.5-2.5. However, unfortunately for aussie shorts the RBA didnt offer any forward guidence on sentiment towards further easing, or specific reference to the aussie FX level - despite there being a strong bid bias brewing in the aud$ cross post-25bps cut. Also their forecasts...
