Blake and Chris are back! Markets are turning bearish, and crypto and equities are in trouble. We talk current markets and look at a wide range of asset classes, both fundamental and technical analyses and what you need to know about trading this week.
The tides in FX are turning and after a period where the JPY was smashed on a central bank divergence thematic, some are now seeing ‘value’ and buying JPY, others covering JPY shorts.
With implied vol high across asset classes and traders question the prospects of stagflation and recessionary risk, relative interest rate settings, and carry, are having less of...
Blake and Chris are back! The Fed has hiked rates and markets are alive. We talk current markets and look at a wide range of asset classes, both fundamental and technical analyses and what you need to know about trading this week.
Falling wedges are typically continuation patterns, following a pullback consolidation period with the primary trend moving higher.
As we see on the daily - there's been a sizeable move higher in EURAUD after breaking out of the highs of the multi week range at 1.4680, where it subsequently rallied into 1.5050 without any retracements.
We see that price has since...
We saw CADCHF sideways range for quite some time between 0.7360 and 0.7500 on the H4 timeframe, then buyers finally stepped in, and it rallied to 0.7620
As expected, the market pulled back into the former range resistance, now support, at 0.7500, and stalled there before dipping and finding liquidity as buyers stepped in once again.
We are starting to see buyers...
It’s the last trading session in April and the USD is higher for the fourth consecutive month with a gain of 5.1% - unless we see a USD collapse in the session ahead this would be the best monthly gain since 1967!
Considering as the seasonals are so negative for the USD in April (over the past 20 years GBPUSD has closed higher 85% of the time, AUDUSD 70%), the...

We have seen USDJPY recently pullback and consolidate after the extended run towards 130.00 on the H4 timeframe.
The pair found support and a base at 127.50 which has led to a breakout of the falling wedge. We are also seeing a clean breakout on the RSI.
IF the breakout is sustained and the pair clears 128.20, then we could see USDJPY make a run towards the 130.00...
Last week we saw bulls take control from the bottom of the wedge and close well above 1.37.
We have seen a 50% retracement of last week’s candle so far which is also sitting around the 1.3650 minor support and wedge retest area. We could see a wedge breakout and retest in play from here. If price action (H4) continues to hold above 1.3650, then this would...
GBPNZD faced big selling pressure on the higher time frames into the 1.9400 resistance, reversing back with the sellers taking control. We also saw a partial downside break of the rising channel established last week. We could possibly see a retracement into intraday resistance as well as a retest of the channel, where a rejection there could see a continuation...
While gold has been out of favour of late, ‘resilience’ is still a key vibe in the gold market and despite the rise of the USD and US bond yields, one could easily argue gold should be closer to $1800 in this environment. When markets don’t fall on such reliable historical inputs, we must ask why and is it telling us a message about a potential turn in the...
