Is the GBP on the edge of a cliff?As the British Pound approaches a major support level of 1.4000, we think it is akin to peering over the edge of a cliff.
With one of the worst headline inflation rates in the developed markets, crippling energy bills, and a newly elected government, the Bank of England (BOE) is in a place few would want to be in. As the next policy meeting date nears, the central bank is likely to raise rates. But by how much?
Too little, and inflation will remain a key issue weighing on the currency’s attractiveness compared to the USD. Too much, and consumers will be crushed with the already astronomical energy bills and rising loan re-payment, likely pushing the UK further into stagflation, something that central banks try to avoid.
Either way, pound traders are likely to be disappointed. And we have not even begun to mention the effects the energy bill cap might have on longer-run inflation.
The technical setup proves more interesting as the current price lies right on the 1.4000 level, a major support level, only ever breached once in 1984 and retested once in 2020. We think a clear break of this will likely lead the pound to fall harder as traders ride the downward momentum.
On a shorter timeframe, the pair is arguably trading in a descending channel. As current prices teeter on the lower channel band, a breakout at the downside could spell trouble, sending the pair lower.
There seems to be little in the way to slow the move lower for the GBPUSD pair as both macro headwinds and technical ones beat down the Pound lower against the USD. With the US Federal Reserve meeting on the 21st and Bank of England meeting on the 22nd of September, we expect higher volatility over the next few days, a snap lower could drive momentum traders to further extend the downside move.
Entry at 1.1450, stop at 1.17400. Target at 1.08000 and 1.06150.

$BTC - O -$BTC Hello my Fellow TraderZ,
We are now coming into the most awaited week where we have FED Rate Hike announcement on SEPT 20/21. So as usual US Equity Markets is reacting to the probable Hawkish action of FED, followed by #CRYPTO as well.
Many of us are expecting the rate hike to be between 0.75bps and 1bps. If we see 0.75bps, it is good and more so like #BITCOIN is pricing in by testing the June lows. Incase we see 1bps, this is a disater then and most probably #BTC would stop at 14k.
But here what I see on DTF is that #BITCOIN is coming to support and probably in the making of DOUBLE BOTTOM pattern which is coupling with the BULLISH DIVERGENCE.
Still hoping for the best. Be cautious and Trade well my Fam. CHEERS!!!

FED rate hike will push the market to the upsideDuring a quantitative tightening interest rates act as a bullish sign in the stock market. So, a 75bps or 100 bps hike will push the stock price up. And then it creates a bull trap. That's when everything will go down to hell.
Master of MarketsIn 2008 the U.S. central bank purchased
$1.25 trillion in mortgage-backed securities
$200 billion in agency debt
$300 billion in long-term Treasury securities
2008 was named QE1 and would continue for the next 6 years before the FED paused and eventually began to tighten.
During times of QE, banks, companies, markets all perform great.
There is plenty of liquidity to operate, margin is cheap.
When the fed tightens, markets get volatile.
Margin becomes expensive.
Most companies will survive this volatility.
They just pass the cost on to the consumer.
This creates inflation. Sticky inflation. Fed has to tighten more to fight inflation.
At this point it’s all they can do. But they risk crashing the markets.
The fed controls just how much air is let out and how fast.
That’s why you saw Jay Powell start with easing, into light QT and now in September the amounts they will be selling are very likely to put more down pressure on the markets.
Just realize the FED can manage the market pressure, it’s the unexpected events during times of low liquidity and high volatility that concerns me.
See the effects of Net liquidity on VIX over the past 15 years.
Never reaching above 30 except during extreme events like the flash crash and china crash..
You can see we’re in a time of extreme volatility as clusters of volatility reaching over 30 4 times since Nov 2021.
What is Net liquidity?
Net liquidity is a formula I found on Fintwit that is supposed to predict the markets movements 2 weeks in advance.
I don’t know if I believe that, but I did some Covariance analysis and there are certainly times during QE with high bullish correlation and QT there is high bearish correlations.
To determine Net Liquidity you need to take
The total assets of the Federal Reserve Balance sheet at 8.8 Trillion.
Subtract The Treasury General Account at 617 Billion
Then Subtract the 2.1T Overnight Reverse Repo
You get 5.9 Trillion in Net Liquidity.
Changes in the level of Net Liquidity (step up or step down) are claimed to predict the S&P 500 direction 2 weeks in advance.
The claim is that of a 95% correlation since the transitory quantitive easing and reverse repo were implemented.
I was curious to see if the claims were true.
More on that tomorrow.
$DYDX - BULLISH DIVERGENCEHello my Fellow TraderZ,
Today we'll be talking about $DYDX. We all know #DYDX is a Decentralized Exchange's native token. One of my favorites for the long term portfolio.
Here we see that in the recent pump price got rejected by the High Confluence Zone(containing TL1 + DESCENDING CHANNEL TL + HORIZONTAL RESISTANCE) and now back to its SUPPORT once again.
Clearly a BULLISH DIVERGENCE on 4HTF is easily visible and I personally very excited to take this Trade. Ofcourse we should not overlook #BTC as it is heavily co-related to SPX500 which is itself in bearish pressure due to FED's Hawkish Rate Hikes. But still keep $DYDX in eye .
Japanese yen - calm before the storm?After some mid-week volatility, USD/JPY has settled down. In the European session, the yen is trading quietly at 143.59.
For anyone following the Japanese yen, next week promises to be interesting, at the very least. The Federal Reserve will hold its policy meeting on September 21st, with the Bank of Japan officials meeting the next day. The Japanese yen continues to lose ground against the dollar, and fell to 144.99 earlier this month, a new 24-year low. Japanese officials have responded with well-worn rhetoric about how Tokyo is concerned about the yen's depreciation and warning that all options are on the table. We've heard this all before, but is this time different? Is Japan seriously contemplating a currency intervention to prop up the ailing yen? There has been some speculation that 145 could be a line in the sand for the MOF, but in fairness, there was similar talk when yen hit 130 and then 135, and the MOF and BoJ stayed on the sidelines.
The likelihood is that Tokyo will avoid such a dramatic move, which last occurred in 2011. The Ministry of Finance (MOF) and the Bank of Japan are not happy with the rapid descent of the yen, but an intervention would require the consent of the G-20, which is unlikely to give its consent. The BoJ made waves this week after a report that it had conducted a rate check, which was viewed as a possible prelude to an intervention. Finance Minister Suzuki has been coy about what moves he might make, and refused to comment on whether the BoJ had made a rate check.
The BoJ has rigidly maintained its ultra-loose monetary policy in order to stimulate Japan's fragile economy. As part of this policy, the BoJ has kept a firm hand on its yield curve control, and the price for this stance has been a freefall in the yen, which is done an astounding 30% against the dollar this year. With the Fed looking to hike next week by 75 basis point, and an outside chance of a massive full-point increase, the yen's downtrend is likely to continue, barring a spectacular response from Japanese officials.
1.4363 is the next line of resistance, followed by 144.81
USD/JPY has support at 142.56, followed by 141.88
GBP/USD dips on strong US data, UK GDP nextThe British pound is in negative territory today and has fallen below the 1.15 line. In the North American session, GBP/USD is trading at 1.1497, down 0.38%.
US retail sales rose 0.3% MoM in August, rebounding from -0.4% in July. Excluding gasoline, retail sales were up 0.8%, as consumers responded to lower gas prices by increasing spending on other items. The data indicates that consumer spending is holding up, despite an inflation rate of 8.3%. There was more positive news as US initial job claims fell for a fifth consecutive week, falling to 213 thousand. This follows the previous release of 218 thousand and beat the consensus of 226 thousand.
These releases are especially significant, as the Federal Reserve relies on a strong labour market and solid consumer spending in order to remain aggressive with its hawkish policy as its grapples with high inflation. The Fed is expected to increase rates by 75 basis points next week, with an outside chance of a massive 100bp hike. Inflation has proved to be more resilient than expected, and with the Fed continuing its steep rate-hike cycle, we may see more demand destruction which raises the likelihood of a recession.
The UK wraps up a busy week with retail sales on Friday. Consumers have been hammered by the cost-of-living crisis and predictably are cutting back on spending, which will only exacerbate the grim economic landscape. Retail sales fell by 3.0% YoY in July, and the markets are bracing for an even worse month of August, with an estimate of -3.4%. A release of -3.0% or worse could extend the British pound's losses.
GBP/USD is testing resistance at 1.1548. Next, there is resistance at 1.1689
There is support at 1.1417 and 1.1306
Nasdaq 100 index analysis: US real yields dominateThe Nasdaq 100 index ( US 100 ) has moved in the opposite direction of US real yields ( DFII10 ), which are the difference between nominal Treasury yields and market-based inflation expectations (also known as Breakeven yields). Real yields serve as a measure of the Fed's rate tightening aggressiveness.
The 30-day correlation between Nasdaq 100 and US real yields is currently at -0.83, indicating a strong and inverse negative relationship.
US real yields have risen dramatically since the start of the Fed hiking cycle in mid-March, from -0.7% to around 1% as of this writing, reflecting increased market expectations of a more stringent monetary policy.
This means that the nominal yield on a 10-year Treasury (3.45%) is currently about 1% higher than the market measure of inflation expectations for the next 10 years (2.45%).
Positive real returns on a safe asset like US Treasuries undoubtedly act as a deterrent to investing in riskier assets like stocks.
Technology stocks are also way more sensitive to changes in Federal Reserve interest rates than stocks in other industries. Higher interest rates reduce the long-term expected cash flows for tech companies. As a result, tech stocks fall more than the overall stock market. The Nasdaq 100 has underperformed the broader S&P 500 ( US 500 ), which is down 17.7% year to date versus -26.5% for the tech-heavy index.
After the US inflation rate continued to beat market expectations this week, markets have already fully priced in a 75 basis point hike at the FOMC meeting next week.
The chances of another 75 basis point hike in November are also increasing, which would bring US interest rates to 4% ahead of the December meeting. Stronger rate hikes could put additional pressure on the tech-heavy Nasdaq index .
USD/JPY slides after BoJ rate checkThe Japanese yen has posted sharp gains today. USD/JPY is trading at 143.09, down 1.00% on the day.
The yen has taken investors on a roller-coaster ride this week. On Tuesday, the dollar shined, posting broad gains against the majors and climbing 1.19% against the yen. The catalyst for the upswing was the US inflation report, which was higher than expected. The yen has recovered most of these losses today, after reports that the Bank of Japan had conducted a rate check, which could signal currency intervention in order to prop up the ailing yen.
The BoJ has rigidly maintained its ultra-loose monetary policy in order to stimulate Japan's fragile economy. As part of this policy, the BoJ has kept a firm hand on its yield curve control, and the price for this stance has been a freefall in the yen, which is done an astounding 30% against the dollar this year. Japanese policy makers have fired verbal warnings about the yen's depreciation causing deep concern, but the markets have learned to ignore the rhetoric, which hasn't been backed up by any action.
The yen hit 144.99 last week, a new 24-year low, and there has been speculation that 145 is a line in the sand for Japan's Ministry of Finance, which would be responsible for a currency intervention by purchasing a massive amount of yen with US dollars on the currency markets. Japanese officials haven't ruled out intervention, but there is a legal hurdle as Japan cannot intervene in the currency markets without permission from the G-20. The last time Japan intervened to prop up the yen was in 2011, in the middle of a financial crisis in Asia. Still, investors will be paying close attention to the BOJ's meeting on September 22, which comes just one day after the Fed's next meeting. Any hints of intervention could send the yen sharply higher.
If, however, Japan decides once again to stay on the sidelines, the yen has more room to fall. The Fed is likely to raise rates by 75bp at the upcoming meeting, but there is a reasonable possibility of a massive 100bp hike as well. With the yen at the mercy of the US/Japan rate differential, I expect the yen to continue to lose ground, barring some dramatic action from Tokyo.
1.4363 is the next line of resistance, followed by 144.81
USD/JPY has support at 142.56, followed by 141.88

US03MY increases more, Markets surprised at CPI data !?😲CPI the Core inflation, which is the focus of most traders, rose 0.6 percent in August, a larger increase than in July.
Although the US inflation decreased in August; But it was still higher than economists had expected, signaling that the US Federal Reserve will remain aggressive in raising interest rates.
Also Eight days before the new Federal Reserve interest rate meeting, the 3-month bond yield has increased by 0.75% in the transactions so far.
After announcing the inflation data, the yields of government bonds with different maturities increased by +6%.
The point being that the 3month is highly correlated to the federal funds rate,
It seems ,the Federal Funds Rate continues to rise , likely at a more modest pace and maybe with less regularity.
-------------------------------
Bond Yields:
The yield on a government bond is the interest rate that the government borrows at. Government bonds, because they are safe, therefore tend to have a lower yield because investors are not demanding a high rate of interest for lending to the government.
Bond yield is the return an investor realizes on an investment in a bond.
A bond can be purchased for more than its face value, at a premium, or less than its face value, at a discount .
The current yield is the bond's coupon rate divided by its market price.
Price and yield are inversely related and as the price of a bond goes up, its yield goes down.

GBP/USD steady after solid UK job dataGBP/USD is in positive territory today. In the European session, the pound is trading at 1.1731, up 0.42%. GBP/USD continues to take advantage of US dollar weakness and has gained 240 points since Thursday.
Inflation has hit a staggering 10.1% and the Bank of England is projecting that inflation may not peak until 13%, with some analysts predicting an even higher peak. The manufacturing, services and construction sectors are either in contraction or stagnation and the country is going through a major change, with a new prime minister and a new monarch. The UK has phased out energy imports from the UK, but the weak EU economy is taking a toll on the UK, as the two are close trading partners.
The UK labour market remains robust, one of the few bright lights in a grim economic landscape. Unemployment has fallen to 3.5%, a 50-year low, but wage growth in the three months to July rose 5.5% YoY, up from 5.2%. Employment rose by 40 thousand, down from 160 thousand prior and well below the forecast of 128 thousand.
For the Bank of England, the job numbers actually increase the odds of a supersize 75 basis point hike next week, as wage growth continues to rise and the labour market continues to tighten. The BoE, which has failed to show until now that it can curb spiralling inflation, may regain some credibility with a 75bp move.
All eyes are on the US inflation report, which will be released later today. The markets could be treated to mixed results - headline inflation is expected to drop to 8.1% (8.5% prior), while core CPI is forecast to rise to 6.1% (5.9% prior). With the Fed intent on remaining aggressive in order to tame inflation, the markets have priced in a 75bp increase at the September 21st meeting. The inflation release should be treated as a market-mover for the US dollar and has additional importance as it is the final key release before the Fed meeting.

GBP/USD faces resistance at 1.1790. Above, there is resistance at 1.1931

XAUUSD Weekly AnalysisAccording to latest Gold Weekly analysis ,the price had entered an important Bullish Order Block. By this movement we expected this range to prevent Gold from Downward trend further.. In the last two weeks , When the price entered the 1690$ range , it faced a positive reaction and this order block was finally able to stop the heavier Fall! during this week ,If the weekly candle closes above 1730$, we can expect a new upward trend in the price , whose mid-term target can be in the range of 1800$ to 1830$! Hope this analysis was useful to all the traders.
BTC Can move like this chartAss you can see this week is so important for all Crypto users .So BTC needs to hold 22000$ level. But we have A FVG in 20500$-21500$. I think BTC have to pullback to this zone and clear all buy limit orders and there is a important point about bitcoin is the 99 moving average is a strong level to hold the price ever time the btc wants to break this MA more buyers open more long position. So pay attention more for break down of it This analysis will be updated. 9.13.2022
Euro climbs to 3-week highThe euro is red hot, having gained close to 2% in just two days. EUR/USD is trading at 1.0144, up 0.97% on the day.
The ECB showed last week that its hawkishness was not limited to words, as the central bank delivered a massive 0.75% rate hike, for only the second time in its history. The markets are paying attention, and the move has triggered an impressive rally by the euro. The ECB sent a powerful message that it is committed to curbing inflation by raising rates, even at the risk of a recession. President Christine Lagarde said at the meeting that she expected three or four more hikes, and the markets have priced in 0.50% increases at the October and December meetings.
The economic outlook in the eurozone remains grim, with PMIs pointing to weakness in manufacturing and business activity. Russia has shut down the Nord Stream 1 pipeline which supplies gas to Germany, raising fears that the eurozone countries could face an energy shortage this winter. It should not come as a surprise that confidence levels are weak. The ZEW Economic Sentiment index remains mired in a deep freeze, and slowed to -60.0 in July, down from -55.5 in September.
Has US inflation peaked? We'll get a look at US CPI for August, with the markets expecting inflation to fall to 8.1%, down from 8.5% in July. Following the unexpected drop in July's inflation release, market exuberance that the Fed would make a U-turn on its aggressive tightening sent the equity markets up and the US dollar sharply. The Fed has remained consistent with its stance and the markets appear to have internalized that the tightening cycle has some more room to run. The markets have priced in a 75 basis point hike at the meeting on September 21st. Tuesday's inflation report will be doubly important, as it marks the final economic release before tomorrow's meeting. If inflation hits 8.1% or higher, it would likely cement a 75bp move by the Federal Reserve.
EUR/USD has support at 1.0107 and 1.0008
There is resistance at 1.0152 and 1.0257
WIX: Bear market rally?Wix.Com
Short Term - We look to Buy at 65.69 (stop at 58.33)
Although the bears are in control, the stalling negative momentum indicates a turnaround is possible. The trend of higher lows is located at 60.00. A weaker opening is expected to challenge bullish resolve. Support is located at 65.00 and should stem dips to this area. Preferred trade is to buy on dips.
Our profit targets will be 84.99 and 92.00
Resistance: 85.00 / 110.00 / 200.00
Support: 65.00 / 53.00 / 34.00

Gold amid rising yields and dollar strengtheningSince we last covered gold , most of our views have played out, as real yields rose and dollar strengthened significantly.
As central banks remain committed to fighting the greatest inflation seen in decades, we see continued headwind for the yellow metal. Going back to our real-yield and dollar analysis framework, we see 2 key points.
Firstly, real yields have increased significantly as US Interest rates rise at unprecedented levels due to back-to-back rate hikes. Central bankers have continued to pre-empt the markets on the rates hiking path, and we see no reason for the US Federal Reserve to change its stance anytime soon. Thus, we think that real rates are likely to continue upwards.
Secondly, the dollar is now trading at a 20-year high. With no major resistance until the 120 level, we see a clear path upwards as the backdrop of higher yield continues to favor the dollar.
Looking at the charts we see a potential double top chart pattern, for gold. With the first peak slightly higher than the second and current prices trading near the neckline, we think the bearish set-up is almost complete for gold and prices are likely to decline from here.
Barring any surprise data points from now till the next FOMC meeting in 2 weeks’ time, it is highly likely for the Fed to continue its hiking path which will drive real rates & the dollar higher. This presents a strong headwind to gold which could tip lower if we see a clear break of the neckline. As such we think gold is caught between a rock (higher yields) and a hard place (stronger dollar).

INFLATION HAS TOPPED OUT!Good day
We have all heard the news regarding the FED increasing interest rates in order to solve the inflation "crisis" we are currently enduring. Some say this is great, some say this is horrible, however, overall this move was inevitable as markets such as this are cyclical and manipulatable by those who control monetary policy. For those who are in the market for a quick buck that follows the advice of so-called pro traders, this may not be the greatest time for you. On the other hand those with diamond hands, the smart money understand the benefits of this very rare occurrence in time. Not only will you be handed a highly decreased asset to invest in, in the next few days/weeks but, your spending power will increase due to the FED's attempt to bring inflation to 2% on top of a substantial increase in wealth once we are out of the thick of it. (2024)
It is not possible to know when inflation will reach 2%, only those who control the market fluctuation know these dates but for now, we need to understand that we are going to be in a recession most likely for the better part of 2 years, which coincidentally will line up with the cyclical bull market structure of BTC. Could this be a coincidence or are we heading for a bull market never seen before? it could be argued that the crypto space specifically has been held back in the recent bull market and like a spring will eventually jump to levels only one could dream of.
This statement will be strengthened dramatically as the world moves into a space where digital currency becomes the framework of the exchange of value internationally and in all aspects of the current macroeconomic structure. This narrative will only be pushed on an institutional level once the ever-desired and increasing space achieves regulatory clearance of some sort in order to enable governments to sustain some sort of market dominance. This idea is widely unexcepted by the retail investor as most feel governments must be done away with in order to open up for a fully decentralized network to govern our financial sector globally... as great as this sounds it just sounds more and more like a pipe dream.
We as people need to have some sort of governance and a system that regulates our decision-making on a financial level or else chaos will break out leading to potentially societal collapse. But on the bright side, the crypto space will eventually allow for a stable deflationary environment where our wealth will have a safe haven to grow.
All we need to do is sacrifice complete decentralization in order to achieve a potential innovation of the financial system that will revolutionize finance forever... In this case, we all win...
