New Zealand's central bank expected to lower rates by a quarter-The New Zealand dollar has rebounded on Tuesday. NZD/USD is trading at 0.5615, up 1.3% on the day. This follows a 5% plunge over the past two days. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand is widely expected to lower interest rates by a quarter-point at its rate meeting on Wednesday. The markets have priced in a quarter-point cut at 75% and a jumbo half-point cut at 25%. The RBNZ slashed rates by a half-point in February, a response to weak economic growth and an inflation rate of around 2%, the midpoint of its target band. The market meltdown and escalation in trade tensions due to new US tariffs could force the RBNZ to lower rates faster and deeper than previously expected. There is massive uncertainty in the air and the central bank will have to re-evaluate inflation and growth expectations, given the tariff turmoil. There is growing talk of a global recession, which would badly hurt New Zealand's export-reliant economy. China is New Zealand's largest trade partner and the escalating trade tensions between the US and China could turn into a New Zealand nightmare. China has imposed 34% reciprocal tariffs on the US, drawing a threat from President Trump that he will counter with a 50% tariff if the Chinese tariff is not removed. The RBNZ is dealing with the tariff crisis without Governor Adrian Orr, who suddenly resigned last month in the middle of his five-year term. The government has appointed Christian Hawkesby as Governor for a six-month term, after serving as the acting governor after Orr resigned.

USDCNH Tests Key Pattern Resistance on PBOC’s Loose Yuan FixThe trade war between China and the U.S. is escalating, and the Chinese yuan is starting to feel the pressure. After the U.S. raised tariffs to a total of 54%, China responded with a 34% increase of its own. Now, Trump has threatened an additional 50% tariff hike if China doesn’t withdraw its retaliation. It appears unlikely that either side will back down at this stage, and the trade war is set to intensify further. In addition to retaliating, China is also preparing to defend its economy. According to several news reports, Beijing is planning to frontload stimulus measures aimed at boosting domestic consumption, subsidizing exporters to cushion the blow from reduced U.S. trade, and supporting stock market stability. The People’s Bank of China will likely play a central role in this effort, using tools such as rate adjustments and daily yuan fixings. The latest yuan fixing came in above 7.20, the highest level since 2023. With this looser fixing and ongoing trade war pressure, USDCNH is pushing higher. The ascending triangle formation which typically breaks to the upside is also supporting bearish bets on the yuan. If China proceeds with a small and controlled devaluation, as many expect, a breakout from this triangle pattern is likely. The potential target for the breakout could align with one of the parallel lines of the lower boundary of the formation, which are currently around 7.61 and 7.75, and gradually rising. With time, a move toward 7.80 is well within reach by the end of the year.

Merck & Co. (NYSE: $MRK) Sets Up Q125 Earnings Call for April 24Merck & Co. (NYSE: NYSE:MRK ) will hold its Q1 2025 earnings call on April 24 at 9:00 a.m. ET. Company executives will present financial results and performance updates during the call. As of April 4th, 2025, MRK closed at $81.47, down $4.92 (5.70%). The stock has declined steadily since peaking at $134 in June 2024. In Q4 2024, Merck posted global sales of $15.6 billion, a 7% increase from the previous year. Sales growth stood at 9% when excluding foreign exchange effects. Full-year 2024 revenue reached $64.2 billion, a 7% increase over 2023. Human health sales grew 8%, driven mainly by oncology treatments. KEYTRUDA remained the company’s top product with sales of $7.8 billion in Q4, rising 21%. WINREVAIR generated $200 million in sales, while new vaccine CAPVAXIVE added $50 million. The Animal Health division showed strong momentum, growing 13% year-over-year. Merck’s global reach extended to nearly 500 million people in 2024. However, GARDASIL vaccine sales dropped 18% in Q4 due to lower demand in China. This led Merck to pause GARDASIL shipments to the region temporarily. Operating expenses for the quarter totaled $7.4 billion. The company reported a gross margin of 80.8%, up by 3.6 percentage points. Earnings per share came in at $1.72. For 2025, Merck expects revenue between $64.1 billion and $65.6 billion. EPS guidance is set at $8.88 to $9.03, excluding foreign exchange impact. The Medicare Part D redesign could reduce revenue by about $400 million in 2025. This would affect WINREVAIR and other small molecule oncology drugs. Technical Analysis MRK stock is currently testing a major support level at $81.A confirmed breakdown at this critical level could push the stock lower. Price momentum and volume suggest a likely continuation of the bearish trend unless support holds. With the bearish pressure in place, the next support level lies at $70. The weekly chart shows consistent lower highs and lower lows since June 2024. MRK has fallen nearly 65% from its peak of $134. If the $81 current support holds, a short-term rebound is possible, with an immediate resistance target around $95. Reclaiming this level may signal early signs of a trend reversal. If a strong break at the $81 level is witnessed, the next target remains the $70 support. The current trend favors sellers. One thing to watch closely is the April 24th, 2025, earnings call as performance updates may provide clarity on near-term price direction.

S&P 500 Records Largest Weekly Decline Since 2020The S&P 500 Index has suffered its steepest two-day drop since the pandemic crash in March 2020. On April 4th, 2025, the benchmark index closed at 5,074.08, down 322.44 points (5.97%). This marks a loss of $5.4 trillion in market value across just two sessions. The sell-off followed comments from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. He warned that President Donald Trump’s new tariffs could lead to persistently higher inflation. All 11 sectors in the S&P 500 closed in the red. Only 14 stocks remained positive as Nvidia and Apple fell more than 7%, while Tesla dropped 10%. The Nasdaq 100 Index plunged 6.1%, confirming a bear market after losing over 20% from its February peak. The rapid decline mirrors the speed seen during the 2020 COVID crash and the 2000 dot-com bust. President Trump announced sweeping tariffs on U.S. imports on Wednesday. These include a 10% general tariff and higher rates on dozens of countries. China responded by imposing a 34% levy on American goods. The tit-for-tat measures triggered fears of a full-scale global trade war. Global markets reacted sharply. Investors pulled out of stocks and moved into safer assets like government bonds. The two-day loss of $5 trillion on the S&P 500 set a new record, surpassing the $3.3 trillion loss during March 2020. Rick Meckler, of Cherry Lane Investments, said the escalation is now deeper than many investors expected. The initial belief that tariffs were a negotiation tactic has now given way to serious market concerns. Technical Analysis: Price Approaching Key Support Zones. Will They Hold? The S&P 500 has shown a bearish trend since early 2025. Several weekly candles have closed bearish, confirming a strong downtrend. Currently, the index is trading lower toward a key ascending trendline near $4,930. The $4,930 support level may offer short-term support. A bounce from here could see a brief recovery. However, the sentiment remains bearish without strong economic data or policy changes. Further Downside Risk If Support Fails Another horizontal support sits at $4,780. If both support levels fail, the index may fall toward the $4,500 psychological zone. This level is crucial as it marks a long-term support and potential reversal point. At present, bearish momentum dominates, with much strength coming from trade war fears. Unless data shifts investor sentiment, the downtrend may persist.

Jaguar Land Rover Temporarily Halts U.S Shipments Amid TariffsJaguar Land Rover (JLR), owned by Tata Motors, has paused shipments to the U.S. market this April. The move follows a 25% import tax on vehicles imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump. JLR described the U.S. as a vital market and stated it is now adjusting to new trade rules with business partners. The pause is a short-term step. The company aims to finalize longer-term strategies to manage the new tariffs. Analysts believe other British carmakers may soon follow this approach. Britain's auto sector faces pressure from falling domestic demand and the costly transition to electric vehicles. David Bailey, a University of Birmingham professor, predicts more stoppages. He said automakers will reassess their plans amid rising costs and trade uncertainty. Recent data shows U.K. car production fell 13.9% last year to 779,584 units. Over 77% of these vehicles were exported. The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) voiced concern. CEO Mike Hawes said the timing worsens an already challenging period. He urged swift trade talks to protect jobs and growth. The SMMT has stayed in regular contact with the U.K. government to seek solutions. To soften the tariff’s impact, carmakers rushed to build inventories in the U.S. JLR was among them. U.K. car exports to the U.S. jumped 38.5% in Dec, 12.4% in January and 34.6% in February. According to official figures, British automakers shipped £8.3 billion ($10.7 billion) worth of cars to the U.S. in the 12 months through September. Cars remain Britain’s largest goods export to the U.S. However, goods make up a smaller portion of overall trade. Services account for 68.2% of the £179.4 billion ($231.2 billion) in total U.K.-U.S. trade during the same period. JLR is not independently listed. But looking at the parental company, Tata Motors (TATAMOTORS.BO) trades on India’s BSE. Its stock closed at INR 613.85 on April 4th, 2025 (6.15%). Technical Analysis: Bearish Momentum Since July 2024 Highs Tata Motors stock peaked at INR 1179 in July 2024. Since then, it has shown a sharp downtrend. It has surged in bearish momentum and has been breaking major support levels. In late January 2025, the price broke below key support at INR 715 and has retested it in March 2025. Currently, it trades lower and is approaching the next support at around INR 591. If this level fails to hold, the price may fall to INR 525. The downtrend has persisted for months, indicating sustained bearish pressure in the market. The weekly RSI now reads 32, derived from deep bearish sentiment. If the RSI dips further, it may signal oversold conditions. However, the current momentum suggests the stock could still drop. If INR 591 holds, a short-term bounce may follow, with a short-term recovery phase that could push the stock toward the descending trendline. Still, bears maintain control for now, and a break below 591 may accelerate further losses.

NFP beats but focus is fixated on trade warToday’s NFP report was NEVER going to take much attention away from the trade war – and so it has proved with mixed readings. US rates were being priced lower amid deteriorating trade war risks, which remains the main focal point. Powell is up next, while CPI, PPI and UoM surveys all on tap next week. The nonfarm payrolls data beat expectations, with a headline print of 228K. Most of those gains were in full-time jobs. But the unemployment rate ticked higher to 4.2% from 4.1% unexpectedly. Market’s focus is on trade war, and rightly so. They were never going to go wild on this NFP release. Average earnings came in as expected, rising 0.3% on a month-over-month basis, but the prior month weas revised lower a tad. Year-over-year rate was weaker 3.8% vs. 4.0%. Nothing to get too excited over, but potentially good news as far as inflation is concerned. By Fawad Razaqzada, market analyst with FOREX.com

The Trade War Strikes Back: Market Reeling from Trump’s Tariff MThe markets are not taking Trump’s new round of tariffs lightly. As the S&P 500 dips sharply, investors are reacting to the growing tension between the U.S. and China over trade policy. The new tariffs have ignited fears of a prolonged trade war, sending shockwaves through tech-heavy sectors and dragging major names like NASDAQ:NVDA , NASDAQ:MSFT , NASDAQ:AAPL , and NASDAQ:AMZN deep into the red. 📉 What we're seeing: SP500 is breaking recent support with heavy volume. Tech sector is leading the sell-off, especially chipmakers and global exporters. Uncertainty is pushing investors toward safety, further increasing volatility. 🧠 Key takeaway: This is more than a dip—it’s policy risk priced in real time. Until there's clarity, traders should prepare for more erratic moves. Short-term sentiment has clearly flipped bearish. 💬 Are you buying the fear or staying out of the storm?

USOIL: Key Levels and Bullish Prospects Amid Trade War ConcernsGood morning Traders, Trust you are doing great. Kindly go through my analysis of USOIL. USOIL is currently experiencing market imbalance due to the nature of its opening range, following a gap-down decline last night in response to trade war concerns that have fueled recession fears. The price dropped from its weekly high of 72.22 to a key support zone at 69.00, which is near the week's low. As we anticipate the release of the ISM Services PMI at 3 PM GMT+1, I expect the demand zone to hold, driving the price higher—initially to fill the gap and subsequently toward the 71.35 region. Furthermore, this outlook is strengthened by the formation of a bullish Bat pattern on the M30 chart. The key levels I will be monitoring for potential price action include the previous week's high at 70.10, the five-week high at 70.62, and the 71.35 region. These areas represent significant resistance levels that could be tested as price moves upward. A break below 68.80 will invalidate this outlook. Cheers and Happy trading.

UK inflation cools more than expected, GBP/USD loses groundUK inflation for February rose 2.8% y/y, below the market esti mate of 2.9%. This was lower than the 3% gain in January. The main contribution to the drop in inflation was lower prices for clothing and housing. On a monthly basis, CPI rose 0.4%, up from 0.1% in January but lower than the market estimate of 0.5%. Core CPI also eased, falling from 3.7% to 3.5%. The drop in inflation is good news, but the Bank of England remains concerned about the upside risk of inflation. Services inflation, which has been sticky, was unchanged at 5%. The BoE will consider a rate cut at the next meeting in May, but will be monitoring the effects of increased employer taxes starting in April as well as today's Spring Statement. At last week's meeting, the BoE expressed concern over worsening "global trade policy uncertainty" and pointedly mentioned US tariffs. The Trump administration's new trade policy has raised trade tensions and a global trade war would hurt growth and boost inflation. The slight drop in inflation is also good news for Finance Minister Rachel Reeves, who is delivered the budget update earlier today. The update did not contain any further tax increases and announced deep spending cuts. Borrrowing a phrase from the Bank of England at last week's meeting, Reeves said "increased global uncertainty" had increased borrowing costs and led to economic instability. GBP/USD has pushed below support at 1.2940. The next support level is 1.2864 There is resistance at 1.2940 and 1.2991

Recap: Weekly Trade Plan March 10th, 2025CME_MINI:ES1! In this TradingView blog, we will recap our trade plan posted on March 10th, 2025. Please note that this is a recap, and since then, we have also published our updated price map and weekly plan for the current week. Today is also the Federal Reserve's decision day. Here is our updated price map from the weekly plan published on March 10th, 2025: Our updated price map for ES Futures Key Levels: • Important Level to reclaim if no correction: 5795.25 - 5800 • Key LVN: 5738 - 5696 • Mid 2024 range: 5574.50 • Key Support: 5567.25 - 5528.75 • 2024-YTD mCVAL: 5449.25 • 2022 CVAH: 5280.25 It is important to note that when we provide our thoughts and reasoning for the levels we map in our recap, we have the benefit of hindsight. Likewise, when we publish our weekly trading plan and share our thoughts at the start of the week, we are anticipating potential market movements on the hard right edge. This is where randomness and uncertainty are key points. If we were to rank our process chronologically, this is how we note the importance of each component that makes up our plan. 1. Big Picture 2. Key Levels/Price Map 3. Scenarios Our big picture is based on how we view the global macroeconomic and geopolitical landscape. Key levels are mapped utilizing our methodology considering market auction theory and volume profiling. Note how our key level, 'Mid-range 2024', on higher time frame provided support. At times you may see two scenarios, at other times three. Scenarios are just an anticipation which a trader should adjust should any new information come to light. Although you may note that our scenarios play out mostly from reviewing our blogs. Our aim is to help you create a process for yourself. Note how we anticipated near-mirroring price action for the week, though our reasoning was influenced by higher inflation data. However, the inflation reading came in lower than expected. Fast forward to today, all eyes are now on the Federal Reserve’s rate decision, SEP, and the FOMC press conference scheduled for later today.

Gold Forecast: Key Levels Above $3,000Gold remains persistent in targeting its inverted head and shoulders pattern on the daily timeframe, eyeing the 3,040-resistance. However, monthly overbought conditions—seen in 2024, 2020, and 2011—raise caution for potential sharp reversals. • In 2011, an overbought RSI led to a nearly 900-point retracement • In 2020, a similar overbought condition resulted in a nearly 450-point decline • In November 2024, another overbought reading triggered a nearly 250-point drop • Now, gold has once again reached these overbought levels, raising caution for a potential momentum recharge. Key Events: 🔹Israel-Gaza tensions escalate as the 2-month ceasefire ends 🔹Trump and Putin negotiate a ceasefire with #Ukraine 🔹The US Dollar weakens amid trade war risks, with focus on Wednesday’s FOMC for the long-term outlook Key Levels: 🔺Above 3,040: The trend could extend to 3,080 🔻Below 3,040: A reversal may test 3,000, 2,955, 2,930, and 2,900 - Razan Hilal, CMT

Dow Holds Steady Above 41,000Unlike the Nasdaq and SP500, Dow did not trace the full potential of its double top formation between 2024 and 2025 peaks, yet in a similar manner to the US indices, it rebounded from the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement of the May 2024-Jan 2025 uptrend, coinciding with oversold levels on the 3-Day RSI previously seen in October 2023. The Dow’s rebound from the 40,660 low aligns with the bottom end of the duplicated channel of its respected up-trend between May 2024 and Jan 2025, strengthening positive rebound opportunities in tandem with the broader market sentiment. Should the Dow hold above the 41,000-mark, levels 41,700, 42,600, and 43,400 may come back to play. From the downside, a clean close back below the 40,600-mark can extend losses in the direction of the double top formation’s target, aligning with possible support levels at 40,200, 39,500, and 38,700.

Nasdaq Hits Double Top Target – What's Next?Amid declining economic confidence and economic growth forecasts, stimulated by expanding trade wars, the Nasdaq has reached the double top pattern target formed between the December 2024 and February 2025 peaks at 19,100. This level also aligns with the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement of the uptrend from the August 2024 low (17,230) to the February 2025 high (22,245). The 19,000 barrier holds significant technical weight, as it coincides with: The golden Fibonacci ratio and the double top pattern target. Oversold conditions on the daily RSI, previously seen in August 2024 and dating back to similar levels in 2022 on the 3-day time frame. Key Levels to Watch: 🔻 Downside Risk: If market turbulence intensifies and the Nasdaq drops below 19,000, the next key level is the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement at 18,300, with potential interim support at 18,700. 🔺 Upside Potential: If markets respond to oversold momentum conditions, a break above the short-term resistance at 19,700 could trigger rallies toward 20,000, 20,300, 20,700, and 21,000. A strong hold above 21,000 could extend bullish momentum back toward record highs.

EURUSD: Trump’s trade war crosses the Atlantic You may be sick of hearing about tariffs, but they are currently the catalyst for a huge amount of volatility in the market and a huge amount of trading opportunities. And now Trump’s trade war has crossed the Atlantic Today, the European Union announced retaliatory tariffs on approximately €26 billion worth of U.S. goods in response to President Donald Trump's recent increase in tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. Targeted products include Harley-Davidsons, bourbon, and jeans—key American exports that have been caught in previous trade disputes. The EU has said it remains open to negotiation but has not ruled out further action. In response, Trump vowed to retaliate, stating, “Of course I’m going to respond.” The daily chart for the EUR/USD shows the pair could fall into a larger corrective decline, given overbought RSI conditions.

GBPUSD Holds Below 0.618 Fibonacci RetracementFollowing the DXY's decline, the British pound surged back above the trendline connecting lower highs between 2014 to 2021, aligning with a key resistance at the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement of the downtrend between the September 2024 high (1.3434) and the January 2025 low (1.2099) at 1.2945. Current Market Setup: RSI on the 3-day time frame is now overbought, aligning with the inverted head and shoulders target formed by the RSI trend near oversold levels, reinforcing reversal potential. Further downside risks persist, with market sentiment hinging on growth data, trade war developments, and US inflation figures. Key Levels to Watch: A decisive close above 1.2850 could pave the way toward 1.3020, 1.3160, and 1.34. Failure to hold gains could trigger a pullback toward key support zones at 1.28, 1.27, and 1.2570. Key Events This Week: US CPI UK GDP Trade War Developments - Razan Hilal, CMT

DOLLAR GAINS BUYER AMID NFP BAD DATA??Dollar seems on hold in it's 2.618 fibonacci support after NFP data released. Will it go higher next week? I see dollar still waiting next data release. I mention JOLTS Job Opening & CPI which both of them crucial in current context of US macro-economy. Strong job opening & CPI means investor and retail trader must be no worries about US macro-economic despite concern about trade war. Otherwise, weak job opening & CPI means labor market and inflation continue cooling down. It will push THE FED to give clear path about their plan for future Interest Rate. So, dollar could make sideways movement (or even gain buyer) but overall still in bearish momentum. Dollar still driven by concern of trade war and if job opening comes weaker than expected, it could gives more power to seller.

Canadian dollar higher as US suspends auto tariffsThe Canadian dollar is steady on Thursday after gaining around 1% over the past two days.  In the European session, USD/CAD is trading at 1.4351, up 0.07% on the day.  We could see some volatility from the Canadian dollar over the next two days, with the release of the Ivey PMI today and the employment report on Friday. The Trump tariff saga took a twist on Wednesday, as the US announced it would exempt automakers in Canada and Mexico from 25% tariffs for 30 days provided they complied with existing free trade rules.  Trump made clear that the trade war between the US and its two neighbors was not over. Trump has been shooting from the hip, imposing, suspending, and re-imposing tariffs against Canada. Is this merely a heavy-handed negotiation tactic?  If so, chances are good that a deal can be reached and a damaging trade war can  be averted.  Canada can ill afford a trade war with the US, as some 75% of Canadian exports head to its southern neighbor.  A trade war would tip the weak Canadian economy into a recession. The Bank of Canada is nervously watching as trade tensions escalate between Ottawa and Washington.  The BoC has said that a trade war with the US would inflict "permanent" damage on Canada's economy and boost inflation.  The BoC is in the midst of an easing cycle and a trade war would complicate plans to futher lower rates. Canada's Ivey PMI fell sharply in January to 47.1 from 54.7, its first contraction in five months. The PMI is expected to rebound in February, with a market estimate of 50.6, which would point to stagnation.  On Friday, Canada and the US release employment reports. 143.75 and 144.19 are the next resistance lines There is support at 143.00 and 142.56

USD/MXN: The Mexican Peso Weakens as New Tariffs Take EffectOver the last three trading sessions, the pair has risen by more than 2% in favor of the U.S. dollar as the threat of tariffs has become a reality. So far, President Trump has confirmed that the measures will take effect today, and there is currently no hope for another deadline extension. The President of Mexico has traveled to the United States for an official meeting, but at this time, there are no expectations that the measure will be lifted in the short term. Given this, investors have determined that the U.S. dollar is likely the strongest currency to consider, especially if there is a potential economic slowdown in Mexico’s activity in the coming months. Consistent Sideways Range For now, USD/MXN remains in a sideways range, defined by a ceiling at 20.91 pesos per dollar and a floor at 20.07 pesos per dollar. The recent bullish momentum has once again tested resistance, and if upward pressure on the U.S. dollar remains strong, it is possible that the sideways channel could give way to an uptrend, which has remained dormant. It is important to note that the latest candlestick in the formation shows strong neutrality, highlighting the barrier imposed by the current resistance level. ADX Indicator At the moment, the ADX line has started an upward trend and is now above the neutral level of 20 on the indicator. This suggests that the average of bullish movements in recent trading sessions is becoming trend-defining. However, it is crucial that the ADX line continues to move away from the neutral level to confirm that buying pressure is strengthening in the short term. Key Levels: 20.91: Major resistance, marking the upper boundary of the broad sideways range and acting as the most critical barrier for the latest bullish move. Breaks above this level could lead to new highs, ending the current consolidation phase. 20.43: Important support, aligning with the Ichimoku cloud barrier as well as the 50 and 100-period moving averages, highlighting the strength of this level. If the price falls below this point, the sideways range could extend further in the coming sessions. 20.07: Final support, positioned at the lowest price levels recorded in December 2024. If the price nears this zone, it could reinforce the bearish outlook, completely invalidating the long-term bullish trend. By Julian Pineda, CFA – Market Analyst

Bitcoin Slips: Buy the Lows or Ride the Sell-Off? Following an extended expanding consolidation from Dec 2024 – Jan 2025, bearish pressure intensified after a downside breakout, increasing the probability of a double-top formation at 108,360 – 109,350. This raises concerns about a potential drop towards the previous major support-turned-resistance zone at 72,000 – 74,000. 🔹 Momentum Check: The RSI has hit oversold levels last seen in Aug 2024, when BTCUSD found a bottom before rallying past 100K. 🔸 Bullish Scenario: If BTCUSD holds above 82,000, upside targets include 86,500, 93,000, and potentially a retest of 109,000. 🔻 Bearish Scenario: A close below 82,000 could accelerate declines toward 79,500 & 72,000, aligning with the 50% & 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the Aug 2024 – Jan 2025 uptrend. - Razan Hilal, CMT
