The price returned to test the medium term key supportThe price returned to test. The price returned to test the medium term key support at 123.8. If it were violated to the downside with closure below it would be a strongly bearish scenario. This would immediately lead it to the next static support at 122.6. Within a couple of sessions then could try to break it down. The pair could reach the next support area at 118 in a week. If, on the other hand, this level, where is the price now, resisted, a very short uptrend will follow up to the static resistance set at 125.7. Most plausible scenario Given the macroeconomic situation that is causing markets and investors worry, it is very likely that shortly we will be able to see a retracement of the main indices. This shifting investors to Japan’s currency. The scenario that is taking shape in the European currency also weighs heavily. The ECB’s stagnant economic and monetary policy is weakening the euro. The currency will continue to depreciate throughout 2019.

No Deal Brexit Worse than Slower GrowthI've talked extensively on how a no deal Brexit is more likely here: This is primarily my reasoning behind why I'm neutral to short on EURUSD in the medium- to long-term (1 to 3 months). There's plenty of other good reasons to be short EURUSD including continued weak data releases from the Eurozone, possible continuation of a recession in Italy, and potential negative growth for Germany in Q1 2019. While I think that the euro can make some moves to the upside, it is still probably limited to the downward channel with short-term monthly resistance in spite of a break in this resistance last week.

Focus will shift to additional ECB easing very soonThe removal of 2019 hikes is worth highlighting because it does not fully support the story we are being told from macro data meaning the bar is set high for any further hikes. History tells us it’s very unusual for the Fed to pause for a long time in hiking cycles before resuming meaning this is likely the end of hikes in the cycle. See tradingview for a more detailed review of the Fed. Focus will soon shift back to additional easing from the ECB who are more dovish than Fed so any upside will remain capped in EURUSD. I remain confident in the 1.09 forecast for Q2. We have PMIs tomorrow, inline or overshoots there will be enough to turn the ship south...otherwise we are set for more consolidation. Good luck

"One and Done" ... An update to EURUSD for FEDOn the monetary side, Fed taking the spotlight so let’s start digging into the details… Expecting the Fed to lower the “dots” signalling one hike in 2019 … a “one and done” approach. June seems unlikely now as the Fed has started to focus on inflation to keep equity markets happy. My base case is for a hike in December meaning the dollar looks underpriced at current levels and with a lingering ECB easing risk premium EURUSD will start the leg lower after we clear Fed and PMIs. From a technical standpoint we are sitting at strong resistance, any kneejerks higher (unlikely) will attract a lot of selling interest. Best of luck all those trading Fed

Brexit, Bank of England and Norwegian kroneThe key event on Thursday was the announcement of the results of the Bank of England meeting. As expected, there were no surprises: the rate left unchanged, as the volume of the quantitative easing program. However, the statement that perhaps a gradual limited tightening of the policy may be needed, can be interpreted as a “hawkish” and this is good for pound. And before that, the British currency ignored the excellent data on retail sales in the UK in February (+ 0.4% m / m + 4.0% y / y, with the forecast -0.4% m / m + 3.3% y / y). The reason for such attitude is clear. This, of course, is about Brexit. Recall yesterday the EU had to give the UK a response regarding the postponement of Brexit. Brussels gave Teresa May a two-week delay. The current situation is: if next week the British Parliament does not approve the deal, then by April 12, Britain should decide whether to seek a much longer delay or British leave the EU without a deal. This could be used to buy the pound cheaper. Meanwhile, The Central Bank of Norway, raised the rate on Thursday. This is the second increase since last September. Against the background of the negative rates of the ECB, such actions of the Central Bank look simply defiant. As a result, the Norwegian krone continues to strengthen in the foreign exchange market. We recommend to pay attention to its medium-term purchases. Considering how aggressively the Bank of Norway is behaving. The current uptrend of the krona is in the process of being formulated Today is going to be kind of busy with macroeconomic statistics data such as: retail sales and inflation in Canada, indices of business activity in the Eurozone and the United States, so it is not going to be boring. Our basic trading positions are unchanged: we are looking for points for selling the dollar in the foreign exchange market. We are buying oil and gold, increasing the short position in ruble, and now we are taking a medium-term long position in the Norwegian krone.

Gold - favourable environment ($1320/25 and $1346.40 in play 2Q)Gold - favourable environment in uncertain world ($1320/25 and $1346.40 in play 2Q19) - Gold is the main beneficiary of the current path of softening tone from the world's most imminent central banks (ECB 7.03, Fed 20.03, RBA, BOC, PBOC, etc). - Liquidity is one of the factors supporting gold. The relaunch of TLTRO in Europe and the ending of QT in the US. - The final stage of the business cycle and slowing world economy is making gold attractive in terms of allocation a bit of assets (10%-15%) during next 4-6 quarters getting good average price. - Although gold isn't pretty cheap (at least inexpensive or smth equal to "hold") after 9.4% rally during last six months and 2.6% ytd it still has potential for rebound towards $1320/25, $1346.40 or even $1355/65 this year in case of more prominent debate on rate cut in Europe or the US. - Any profit taking in gold could be limited by support at $1283 or $1276 and weakness below $1300 seems to be a buying opportunity for short-term and mid-term speculative horizon. Bull case is intact until gold prices trade above EMA(200) at 1270$. - $1250 and lower looks like "cheap" gold in terms of long-term investments.

In the short term there is a retracement even by Italian indexIn line with other major global index, in the short term there is a retracement even by Italian index. The price reached the resistance area between 21450 and 21550 points. A break on the upside would have led to a continuation of this uptrend up to the next resistance zone located between 21700 and 21900 points. A rejected, ( because as we said "In the short term there is a retracement even by Italian index" ) seems to be happening, should bring the price to retest the key level of support identified by the EMA 200 periods and passing about 20500 points. European Macros  The fundamental scenario remains strongly uncertain for the Eurozone. Especially after the last ECB meeting in which Draghi stated that it is not only possible to change monetary policy due to slow growth. It is necessary to restore a low-cost liquidity injection to stimulate the economy by the end of 2019. Fed Effects  The uncertainty of the Fed is added to the ECB. In fact the Fed would seem to have decided to not raise interest rates. At least throughout this year, if not also the next. Due to a possible market destabilization with a restrictive monetary policy. In any case, even this choice has left uncertainty among investors who in the short term could liquidate long positions favoring a reversal of world indices.

An update to EURGBP for BOENow is a good time for a quick chart update ahead of the BOE and Brexit countdown. PM May playing politics with a "Queens Gambit"….by asking for the short-extension till the end of June she is trying to force MPs hands to vote for her deal... Options from the EU are still either for (short) Mid-May or (long) lasting into 2020. The risk scenario which will send Pound flying down across the FX board is that the EU reject an extension. We are tracking the same flows towards the top of the range here, and confidence is increasing after the break yesterday. The damage is almost done technically, a rally through current levels will leave us past the point of no return. The first targets cleared and now 0.8841 remains the second target which is in play as early as this week. Well done everyone riding this one from the lows, it's not the time to start adding longs if you are not already positioned. Best of luck!

EURGBP Flash Crash Coming Soon..The previous idea "Strengthening the immune system" received a lot of traction and it is time for a quick update here ahead of the vote in HoC today. Volatility remains very high in the cross, and after the sharp drop overnight the ladder has been cleared for a move back through resistance at 0.8670. Watching this very closely and we have the potential for a huge move to the longer-term key area of interest with a Hard Brexit which remains in the region of 0.97 - 1.00. Good luck.

What the market expects from the fed ?Macro view  The market expected that the FED on this occasion would not change the value of the interest rate. This had already been discounted in previous sessions. At a fundamental level, the US economy is undergoing a slowdown due also to the shutdown and this, together with the unclear monetary policy, is causing uncertainty. Investors want to see if this aggressive monetary policy can continue or if a period of stalemate has begun. The possibility of a rate cut if the situation remains stagnant. Rates  For now it is very likely that interest rates can be resumed in the next FED meetings, as the indicators on which the FOMC is based are aimed at this. The rates can be cut towards the end of 2019 if the market does not liked this monetary tightening. This hypothesis would lead the indices to follow the strongly bearish December trend. Index  At this time DOW JONES, (like SP500 and NASDAQ) tested the respective resistance area and was rejected downwards. The target to which it will aim in the very short term (if Powell makes it clear that there will be further increases soon) will be the area set at 25000 points, then continue towards 24200 if the level just mentioned should have been violated to the downside. The same goes for SP500, which will target 2640 points. The NASDAQ  should go back to testing the 6900.

Selling EUR against JPYAfter some positive news from Moody’s last Friday on Italy the headlines are starting to fade making this morning a great opportunity to start getting short EURUSD and EURJPY around current levels. The ECB introduced a risk premium on the EUR which is only going to increase as the EZ outlook softens. I like playing EUR against pockets of USD strength as we have the possibility for renewed pricing on Fed hikes in the picture and JPY via fiscal year-end repatriation flows. Best of luck to those trading Euro live this week
