Bounced off Daily Zone 1.07971 & Large Daily Wick is Bullish 🤷Value in Description ⬇️ Beware we have returned close to our extreme prices after an abrupt beginning to the week. Price fell into the abyss as optimistic buyers
were a bit too early like myself. This NY session though we managed to grab a spot on the train. I was bearish walking into the week and was expecting a pullback to these prices. However ,
after that start to the week and observing how the daily candle may close with the large bottom wick, it gives me more confidence that we may blast through the extreme prices
at 1.093. Our next target may be the previous monthly candle wick at 1.103 and which is also the next weekly Zone above where we are currently at (1.088)
NFP on friday will be catalyst for large move here. Especially with this start to the week. We already have a large imbalance and it's obvious.
More analysis : We have created a Lower Low on the 4Hr TF. NFP is setting up early in the week at extreme prices 1.093 area. Retesting, before we move back down to 1.079 and reject extreme prices at a Monthly and weekly S/R level at 1.09.

DXY Potential Forecast | Pre-CPI | 14th March 2023Hi everyone, back with a pre CPI forecast.
Today's CPI release will be wild and will be the determining factor to solidify the general direction and bias on the USD.
There has been very bearish sentiments on the USD since last Friday after NFP's release.
Fundamental context
1. Employments was good, well above the forecasted or what the market has been pricing in.
2. This shows the strong labor market in the US economy.
3. However, average hourly earnings increased at a decreasing rate to 0.2% from 0.3%.
4. This shows the slowing down of the wage inflation, which is directly correlated with the inflation print and numbers, showing an important signal/sign that inflation could be worse off.
5. In addition, unemployment rate increased by 0.2% compared to previous months.
6. The average earnings and unemployment rate prints showcases the effect of the continuous rate hikes that the Fed has partaken in.
7. This directly discourages the Fed from taking on a more hawkish stance in the market, upon seeing the fruition of the restrictive policy the Fed has performed.
CPI
1. If CPI were to be worse off than forecasted, this really solidifies the bearishness of the USD as it confirms that the Fed policy has been coming to fruition and there might not be a need to hike interest rates anymore.
2. However, if CPI print continues to be resilient and strong or greater than expectations, there is a marked chance that the Fed will hike interest rates by 50bps in the upcoming FOMC meeting, in which this hawkish stance will continue to drive the market bullish for the USD.
3. All eyes will be on the CPI print tonight.
Regards,
Chern Yu

GBP - Weekly/Daily close will be key! GBP - Weekly/Daily close will be key!
GBPUSD - At a very key resistance, we have NFP today that will shift the market. We did have GDP m/m Bullish 0.3 Higher than expected. I think when it comes to GBP there are very bearish views when it comes to there fundamentals and there rate hikes but I don't think the situation as bad as it's considered. What does this mean and how can we trade this opportunity? Well, we can first wait for daily close and see how we close and perhaps wait for pull back and get in long taking us back towards key resistance areas of 1.21 half areas and target areas 1.23. However, if we are fail to close above we are back within the range until further clarification. Don't forget to check minor pairs such as EURGBP & GBPAUD as commodity FX is lagging there are plenty of trading opportunities, including GB10Y W set up.
Now we do have NFP, if that beats expectation we could get pull back in GBP. However, if it comes out lower than expected NFP I expect dxy to decline and majors to rise. And see how price reacts if it beats expectations and by how much and vice versa - that's what is very key!
Now regarding GBP technical view:
High: 1.21560
Low: 1.18420
Pattern: Wedge/Channel
A break above the highs and 200/50 EMA I expect further bullish momentum and target area of 1.23 areas. If we are to break below of 1.18 handle then 1.15 is still on the table. However, at this current moment of time we are within the ranges and we have to respect that, in addition you could even go to lower time frame of 4hr and get better price!
Trade safe and have a great weekend!

EUR/USD Set To Record Second Straight Weekly Gain After NFPThe EUR/USD pair advanced on Friday as the dollar weakened across the board following February's nonfarm payroll report release.
At the time of writing, the EUR/USD pair is trading above its opening price at 1.0655, up 0.73%on the day, having reached a three-week high of 1.0700 in the aftermath of the report. After bouncing two-month lows earlier this week, the pair has dodged a bullet and is on track to post its second weekly gain in a row.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the U.S. economy added 311,000 jobs in February, beating the market's consensus of 205,000 but down from the stunning January reading of 504,000 (revised from 517,000). On the other hand, wage inflation, measured by the average hourly earnings, slowed to 4.6% YoY, below the market's expectations of 4.7%. In addition, the unemployment rate unexpectedly rose to 3.6% from its previous reading of 3.4%.
The mixed job report tempered expectations of a 50 bps rate hike by the Federal Reserve at the March 21, 22 meeting. Odds of a 50 bps increase have fallen to around 40% from above 60% before the nonfarm payrolls data.
Additionally, the shutdown of the Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) by U.S. authorities on Friday raised concerns about the financial system, putting lower rate increases back on the table.
Against this backdrop, U.S. bond yields have fallen sharply, with the 10-year yield at 3.71%. The 2-year rate has dropped to 4.63% from above 5% earlier this week. Wall Street main indexes are posting losses of more than 1% each.
Next week's U.S. Consumer Price Index figures will also be key in shaping expectations ahead of the FOMC decision.
From a technical viewpoint, the EUR/USD short-term bias has improved, as indicators are entering positive territory on the daily chart, while the price has regained the 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA).
A break above the 1.0700 level would pave the way to a steeper recovery, targeting the 1.0800 zone. On the other hand, short-term support levels could be found at 1.0570, 1.0530 (100-day SMA) and the 1.0500 psychological level.

NASDAQ Trading Alert: Technical Setup and NFP Impact AnalysisAs we approach the upcoming non-farm payroll (NFP) report this Friday, there is a setup on the NASDAQ that's worth noting. However, I won't be taking any trades at the moment due to the potential impact of the NFP report on the market. Nonetheless, I'll still provide some technical insights to keep you informed.
It's worth keeping in mind that if the NFP beats expectations, this could potentially send the NASDAQ back to the downside. With that said, let's take a closer look at the technical side of things.
Recently, the NASDAQ has broken a higher time frame trendline and created a continuation pattern. If we see clear price action and a reclamation of our "Key Zone," there may be an opportunity for more upside. However, it's essential to exercise caution as this is a risky setup.
It's important to manage any trades carefully, especially given the potential market impact of the NFP report. By doing so, traders can mitigate potential losses and take advantage of any potential gains. So, good luck traders and stay vigilant! We hope this analysis helps you make informed decisions in your trading activities.

USDCHF for a possible bounceAfter price broke structure to the upside, it reacted off a higher timeframe supply which it used to retrace back towards the initial expansion that left behind a clean OB with an imbalance.

NFP to possibly fuel this move too.
