NASDAQ DXY Timeline compared to DOTCOM BubbleThis is roughly where I think we are in this major bear market cycle.
The index is hovering around the 50 Month TEMA and the DXY is having in a large shorter term correction.
IMHO the market is vastly over-reacting to a single monthly CPI datapoint and there's a lot more pain yet to come.
I suspect strongly that the 100 and 200 Monthly TEMA are still in play over the next 12 months.
CPI
Bitcoin Stable After Wild RideBitcoin plummeted earlier this week off news that major exchange FTX is essentially insolvent. Binance offered to bail them out, but later pulled the deal, exacerbating the situation. Bitcoin tumbled past our level at $17.6K, deep into the $15K's before we pivoted back to $17.6K, after CPI came out softer than expected suggesting that the Fed may pivot in its hawkish rhetoric. Risk-on assets have rallied but the FTX debacle still weighs on crypto. Bitcoin is still bounded from above by $17.6K, and the Kovach OBV has barely inched up. We have had to reference levels we haven't considered in years to get the next level of support down at $15.1K.
CPI Smashes the DXY!The US dollar has smashed through lower levels, careening through our anticipated level of support at 108.50. We fell through the vacuum zone to 107.20, and have broken through this as well. The next level of support is at 106.13. We will see if this gives way to support in the 105's. Any hint at from the Fed that they will remain steadfast in their hawkish stance will cause the DXY to rally again. If we are able to rally again, then 108.50 should provide resistance.
S&P 500 Testing 4000?Stocks have benefited immensely from the CPI print on Thursday which showed that inflation is cooling slightly and therefore may signal a dovish pivot soon in Fed rhetoric. Stock indexes have all rallied accordingly. The S&P 500 is currently at the door of the 4000's. We are testing one level below 4009 at 3978. A red triangle on the KRI does seem to suggest that we will be facing resistance here, but we have not seen a significant retracement. If we do, we should find support at 3937 with 3909 a likely floor. If momentum can continue, then 4009 is the next target.
AUDCAD: Breaking out the major trend due to CPI data.Hey traders, Based on the recent CPI data we can understand that the market is calling for a pivot, soft CPI data tend to give us a bullish stock market and the AUDCAD pair along with NZDCAD is extremely correlated with indices, which means when we have bullish bias on indices we can consider AUD and NZD pairs longs, especially against USD and CAD and you can notice this correlation in current market.
hence, in today's trading session we are monitoring AUDCAD for a buying opportunity around 0.876 zone.
remember to respect proper risk management especially in this type of environment. 1% risk per trade will allow you to not get knocked from the market if you respect a proper RR too.

The Big Turn?Good morning!!! Wow....just wow. What a day yesterday. Caught me way off guard, that's for sure. The CPI report really just lit the markets on fire bringing it back to that upward channel from the October 13th low. A few days ago I was already mentally preparing myself that this market could go touch 4000 or even 4100. I just wasn't expecting to get there so soon. I did say that I would CAUTIOUSLY buy into this market and follow it up to 4000ish. But with the gap up yesterday and strong momentum, I decided to just watch the action and wait for another entry.
So in the near term, looks like it's leaning more bullish. We now have about 64% of stocks above their 50 day, we broke above resistance (3900) and it may have the strength to get to 4100. But then what? Is this the big turn we've all been waiting for? I don't know. Seems that way after what happened yesterday. But I'm still not convinced.
You know, I've noticed that over the years, Goldman Sachs is pretty good at calling where we will end the year on the S&P. Earlier this year, they had originally forecasted that we would end the year at 4300. But then... around June or July? Somewhere around that time. They changed their outlook to 3600. Why? What are they seeing coming in 2023 that we don't? I don't know, I feel something bigger is to come in the coming weeks.
Plan for today: Since we gapped up yesterday, I didn't buy into it and I really don't want to chase this rally until I get a couple more confirmations. Even though we are above the 50 day and broke out of the downward channel, I'll need a few days to see if I should enter any short positions or get bullish. If we end today with a Harami candle and Monday we have an up day... gotta get bullish. But if Monday we have a down day, then that could show signs that we could head lower. I still wanna see that VIX get to 40 or 50. Either way, be patient, stay disciplined and trade the market in front of you. Happy Trading!
Yen extends rally as Japan's PPI easesThe Japanese yen is taking a breather after posting huge gains on Thursday. In the European session, USD/JPY is trading at 140.30, down 0.45%.
The week wrapped up with a key inflation release. Japan's Producer Price Index slowed to 9.1% in October, down from 10.2% in September. Still, this was above the consensus of 8.8%. Consumer inflation is running around 3%, much lower than in other developed countries but high for Japan. The Bank of Japan has taken note of the rise in inflation but has said that it will not change its ultra-loose policy until it is convinced that inflation is not transient.
The yen has fallen around 20% this year against the dollar but jumped on the bandwagon on Thursday after a soft US inflation report caused the dollar to plummet. Headline inflation dropped to 7.7%, down from 8.2% and core inflation dropped to 6.3%, down from 6.6%. Although inflation remains high, both indicators were lower than expected, which triggered a stampede as US stock markets soared and the US dollar was crushed.
The soft inflation report has raised expectations that the Fed will ease up on the pace of tightening and will raise rates by "only" 50 basis points rather than 75 bp at the December meeting. According to Fed Watch, the markets had priced in a 50 basis point hike in December at 55% (45% for a 75 bp move) prior to the inflation release. This changed dramatically after the inflation release - currently, a 50 bp hike is priced in at 85%, with just 15% for a 75 bp move.
Investors seem to be ignoring Fed Chair Powell's comment last week that the benchmark rate would peak at a higher level than previously expected, which could mean a terminal rate of 5.0% or even higher. The enthusiasm investors are showing could dampen if the upcoming employment and inflation reports point are stronger than expected.
USD/JPY has support at 139.66 and 138.88
142.11 is the next resistance line
How far will EURUSD continueDuring the news yesterday, we had weak USD and a sharp rise on EURUSD.
It looks like this move will continue but you should not forget the Daily chart!
EURUSD is in a downtrend and this upside move could come to an end very soon!
The next level where we should see some reaction is 1,0284.
CPI DATA SCENERIO 1 (DROP IN CPI DATA)- Lower inflation printing than 0.4%
- Dollar weakness
- Bullish gold, equities and even crypto
- FED weakening stance
- Hints of slowing rates for DEC and months to come
If inflation prints lower than that of the previous month of 0.4%, we will be looking at bullish continuations in gold as the institutions have already priced in their buys from the lows. As they have received news beforehand that the prints will be lower at 9:30pm with FED pivots in play slowing rate hikes to 50 BPS in months to come. Breaking above the all-time resistance of 1730 KL could signify a change of market structure of gold if accompanied with low inflation prints.
XAUUSD potential retracement and entrydownbeat US CPI data about inflation led a market rally which bulls are looking for clues to extend. There was a classic textbook double bottom after which the downtrend reversed into said rally. I myself caught a buy from 1712 to 1731 which was nice. I expect a retracement to 0.786 and probably price consolidation for the next day between 1 and 0.786. When the new York session opens on the 12th of November a bullish movement maybe present.
Sorry for the lack of detail today,
have been busy with uni
A more detailed idea will be published shortly,
TRADE WITH CAUTION
GOOD DAY
xauusd Update for gold.
Negative US data impacted on this chart.
Some may see it as an elliot wave theory approach in the 4H chart with waves 2 and 4 pretty small.
The fact is that the pair is now bullish. So, the three green line are in my view the key support levels for intraday trades
especially the 1730 zone which is in confluence with 0.5 Fib level.
Furthermore, the 1764 level has been a strong resistance level which has not been touched since 26th of August.
Watch price action. Big wicks etc close to this level. if price breaks above and holds it will go for the 1803 level.s
On the other hand, there an equal probability for price to sell a bit and seek for support close to the above mentioned fib levels and green line
supporting areas.
GBPUSD short but be aware of US CPI volatilityLooking for some reversals from the previous signals. Yesterday we didn't get any triggers, which signals a change in trend in itself.
Today is US CPI so I am expecting some volatility and for traders to get stopped out.
DXY could go higher and break through the relative equal highs, this could amount to just a stop run and at this point we wait to see if its a liquidity grab or not.
GBPUSD has a couple of imbalances on the way down to fill but there is also one above. The reason I favour GBPUSD shorts today is due to higher cpi readings, leading to rate hikes, leading to dollar strength. Technically the DXY also made its weekly low (so far) on Tuesday and this is known as turnaround Tuesday.
USDJPY confirms a possible long USD and GBPJPY confirms a short pound. But that makes the Yen a problem.
AUDUSD CATCH 400 PIPSlets analyz deeply
descending broadening wedge breakout has already done after cpi news earlier today
one more indication is inverted heads and sholders breakout confirming clear move to the upside
3rd evidance is dxy breaks ascending broadening wedge and retested syccfully with strong daily bearish candle
now what we needs to do is wait for retest for perfect entry
expecting minimum 400pips profit
Where we're going we don't need... inflationThe date was Oct 21st, 2015.
No I can't tell the future, and neither can movie makers.
What I can tell is the market is aware the next CPI print will come in much lower which is estimated at 7.8.
My estimate in the above chart I have coming in lower at 7.4.
Sit Rep going into tomorrows print.
In my previous ideas and comments I said after the rally we would test the 50D again.
If that failed a test of 20D would come soon after.
This sets the market up for this CPI print.
WARNING!!
10Y auction today at 1pm. Yesterdays 1PM Auction of 3Y ended yesterdays rally.
Expect larger distributions in both directions as market makers jokey for position.
What does it mean?
Expect more indecision over the next 48 hours as bond auctions thru Thursday and more volatility may surface in bitcoin.
Event vol from elections will likely remain high into CPI tomorrow.
Skew for the first time yesterday pulled up from its steep dive.
EURUSD Post CPI Release | Price Went Parabolic!Hi guys,
Chern Yu here. Today I will be touching base on the fundamental news and effects of the CPI release.
Fundamental Context
1. CPI m/m: 0.4% vs 0.6% market consensus
2. CPI y/y: 7.7% vs 8.2% previous
3. Core CPI m/m: 0.3% vs 0.6% previous
CPI has definitely dropped and inflation is slowing down
That is a positive outlook and sign for EURUSD who has been bearish for almost the entire year. The FED pivot might be round the corner and looking for longs seems highly probable.
Market has so far been pricing in a slow down in inflation and CPI prints.
With the news release today, I anticipate price to continue pushing up and for the FED to hike by 50bps in th e upcoming Dec FOMC meeting.\
I believe that there is much upside potential for EURUSD and a slowdown in rate hikes is imminent.
Cooling Inflation Sends Stocks SoaringThe S&P 500 has rocketed after October's data suggests that inflation is weakening. CPI came in at 7.7% against an expected 7.9%. The markets are looking for any excuse to anticipate a weaker Fed policy, and a tapering in rate hike trajectory. Yields have fallen dramatically and risk on assets are flying. The S&P 500 blasted off from 3749, through our relative high at 3848. We still have some room to go before 3909 but that is the next target. It might be the case that stocks equilibrate around these higher levels as the data gets priced in. If we retrace, expect support at 3825.
EUR/USD Soars After Softer-Than-Expected U.S. Inflation DataThe EUR/USD pair jumped to fresh two-month highs on Thursday after the release of lower-than-expected U.S. consumer inflation figures as it favors the case of a less aggressive Fed at the December meeting.
At the time of writing, the EUR/USD pair is trading at the 1.0130 area, 1.2% above its opening price, after bottoming at a daily low of 0.9935 earlier in the session and having struck its highest level since mid-September at 1.0159.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported October Consumer Price Index figures. Headline CPI inflation advanced 0.4% in October while the annualized rate came at 7.7%, much lower than the market’s expectations of 8% and decelerating from September’s 8.2% reading. Meanwhile, core inflation, which excludes food and energy prices, printed a 0.3% monthly rate while the annual rate came at 6.3%, below the 6.5% expected.
As a reaction, markets are now building a stronger case in favor of a 50 bps hike from the Fed at the December meeting. According to WIRP, market participants are currently betting on 80% odds of a half-percentage point hike, while on Wednesday, those probabilities stood at 56%.
The U.S. dollar weakened against most peers, weighed by a strong pullback in Treasury yields across the curve. The DXY index is shedding around 1.3% at the 109.00 area.
On Friday, the Federal Statistics Office of Germany will publish the October consumer inflation figures, which can have some additional impact on the shared currency.
From a technical viewpoint, the EUR/USD short-term outlook has improved as its indicators are gaining ground on the daily chart. The RSI stands above its midline and heads north, not giving signs of exhaustion yet, while the MACD printed a higher green bar, indicating that the buyers are in the driver’s seat.
On the upside, having broken above 1.0100, the EUR/USD following resistance levels could be found at the September and August monthly highs of 1.0197 and 1.0368, respectively. On the other hand, short-term supports are seen at the 100- and 20-day SMA at 1.0030 and 0.9907, respectively ahead of last week's lows at 0.9730.
