GBPUSD - D/4H Technical Analysis Hi traders!
I'm excited to share with you a detailed video analysis of GBPUSD on the Daily and 4H timeframe ahead of the CPI news for the USD.
While on the Daily TF, we're experiencing a bearish trend, we recently reached an important OB area which could indicate a possible 4H drop or pullback that may push the price down soon.
However, it's important to note that there is still a possibility for a 4H bullish impulse that could break the recent top. For now, our focus will be on the sell setups.
I want to remind you to trade with caution and avoid trading during the news event. If you happen to get a sell setup, try taking it after the news has cooled down a bit.
Also, keep an eye out in the comment section as we will keep you updated with our analysis.
Keep up the great work and happy trading!
FOMC
EURUSD Bear Flag PatternHey Traders, in the coming week we are monitoring EURUSD around 1.09884 zone, The bear flag pattern is a continuation pattern that typically occurs after a significant downtrend, signaling a potential continuation of the bearish trend. In this case, the pattern is forming around the 1.09 zone on the EUR/USD currency pair, indicating a potential sell opportunity. So technically we will wait for a breakout and watch a potential retrace from 1.093 support and resistance zone. Fundamentally USD data seems to be bullish with recent feds comments including Fed Waller about the inflation concerns, Fed Williams have mentioned too that Fed Powell should hike rates in the next FOMC early May which have triggered some Dollar strength.
Trade safe, Joe.

2 year yield drifting higher.The 2 year yield saw one of its biggest divergences from the Fed Fund rate during the banking collapse.
Now that the banks have settled the 2 year yield is closing the distance on the Fed Fund rate.
Recapturing the daily 200 MA is bullish for the short term yields.
This move up in yields could be signaling inflation starting to uptick as the economy & labour market remain robust.
Vix sitting at key levelI forsee rates continuing to increase. Banking to continue having a hard time, the value of the dollar to get stronger, and the price of equities to decrease due to less attractive opportunity costs vs bonds. I think a lot of people are not expecting this, and instead were expecting the fed to pause and for a bull market to begin. I think that equities will be re adjusted quite rapidly, and this will cause the vix to spike. Therefore, I am long the vix.
USDJPY Outlook 13 April 2023The USDJPY trades along the 133 support level and could see further downside as the DXY continues to weaken.
However with the continual divergence in monetary policy between the US Federal Reserve and the BoJ, a rebound to the upside is likely to always be on the cards.
If the USDJPY breaks strongly below 133 (and more crucially below 132.70) the price could trade down to 132.
Looking for a possible test and rebound from the 132 round number support level
PPI Data | Bank Earnings | $QQQ Bear Break | - CPI came in 5%, personally i think it was pretty much priced in due to us knowing well ahead of data release at 5.1%
- PPI data tomorrow 530am EST
- bank earnings pre-market Friday.
- NASDAQ:QQQ & AMEX:SPY bear break, need SP:SPX to join SKILLING:NASDAQ tomorrow.
- still holding my AMEX:SOXS , shorting the NASDAQ:SMH /SOXX sector
$SPY Eyeing Downside MomentumAMEX:SPY gap filled yesterday really quickly, but rejected at top and bounced off gold TL in EOD flush. Expecting CPI or FOMC minutes as catalyst for downside.
Note: bank ER is right after FOMC mins. Also, over $7.7B+ dark pool traded between 409.2-409.6 level; may act as S/R as this week unfolds.
Position: Eyeing downside momentum - watching how the market fluctuates beyond CPI and FOMC minutes.
SHY/HYG - Daily, Inverted Candles, SPX overlay - Credit spread(4/10/2023) Monday - I wanted to publish this chart so we can follow the effect the credit spread had on the S&P 500 (SPX). As you can see the inverted candles correlate well with the SPX. Note the candles are inverted and the SPX is not, just to show better correlation. At the time of publishing there has been a significant move in credit that supports underlying conditions for the S&P 500. This is opposite what the FOMC is trying to accomplish as it causes more inflation.
With CPI coming out this week, Bank earnings start Thursday, and then the FOMC goes into blackout before the next Employment situation report for April. A lot can change. Being the last situation report was on Friday (US Markets closed observing Good Friday and Easter), Im not sure that report has been digested yet either.
On Mondays I post a market video and will include this link among the links to the yield curve inversions, and the IEF/LQD (Financial Conditions), unfolds. We can watch the bar replays. I added links to these charts below also.
DXY - Flirting with Historically Bearish LevelThe US Dollar Index (DXY) is still flirting with a historically bearish level and momentum. JPOW has to come out swinging this week during the FOMC to save DXY 101/2 level. Remember, generally speaking DXY down = BTC up.
In the past 30 years, the DXY was rejected along the red line (~101), signaling larger downside moves. Given the recent parabola and retreat by the DXY, momentum in a bearish trend, this is looking like increasingly likely to happen an 8th time in the coming months.

5. ISM manufacturing PMI releasing later on in the day and forecasted 47.4 compared to 47.7 previous.
6. Anticipating USD to have more softer prints which will incentive Fed to take on a more dovish approach.
Technical Confluences
1. H4 support at 101.67.
2. Price could potentially come lower to the support at 101.67.
3. Price currently hovering at the H4 resistance at 1102.899 and is rejecting it.
4. Anticipating further downside momentum on DXY.
Idea
Anticipating bearish price action on DXY for the week and for price to potentially break the H4 support at 101.6.

Technical Confluences
1. Price is nearing the support at 101.67
2. If this support is broken, we could see further bearish momentum and a new low could potentially be formed beyond 100.802.
Idea
With a strong bearish bias for the DXY today, price could potentially tap into 101.67.
However, do take note that it is a Friday and trade safely.

VIX - is the sell 20, buy 30 strategy done?Throughout 2022 you would have done VERY well taking profit when the TVC:VIX hit 20 and accumulating when the VIX hit 30. But has this trend concluded? This movement and profit/accumulation opportunity is consistent with the most recent tightening from 2017 to 2018 where fed funds were rising, and the yield for 2 year treasuries in the bond market exceeded fed funds. When the yield for 2 year treasuries fell below fed funds the VIX remained below 20 until covid hit. The VIX spiked during covid and consistently descended while the market expanded. This pattern is only observed in the most recent cycle and not something that we see consistently repeated historically. If the 2 year remains below fed funds, should not expect the VIX to range between 20 to 30 or will 20 to become the ceiling?
FOMC Coming. Will Volatility Bring Gold Back to Its All-Time HigWhat's going on in the market? We have collected some of the most important news and events that could affect your trading in the near future.
The Fed Is Becoming Not So Hawkish. Can Gold Reach the Top Price?
Investors have seen the Fed as very hawkish in the past 12 months, which has looked less so in the past month.
The financial sector in the US and several regions is undergoing a true stress test.
The Fed's implied Fed Funds Target Rate for 2023 drops by a sizeable distance relative to current conditions, suggesting a more dovish tone.
From a technical point of view, the price of gold is between 1,940 - 2,000 USD per troy ounce, forming a Symmetrical Triangle pattern.
An upward break of this pattern could signal a potential continuation to the range 2,040 - 2,065 USD per troy ounce.
Conversely, if the gold price breaks below this pattern, there is an opportunity to test the previous support area at the range 1,870 - 1,900 USD per troy ounce.
We will keep you informed about current market trends and their drivers. Stay tuned for more updates in the future

DXY:USD continues weakeningHey Traders, in today's trading session we are monitoring DXY for a selling opportunity around 104.3 zone. since the last FOMC USD have showed a strong bearish momentum. first of all there was a soft rate hike of 25 bps and secondly in the speech after the meeting fed Powell didn't showed any intents for further rate hikes which is considered dovish. Technically if we get any extending pullbacks from 102 support we can see a strong selling opportunity around 104.3 zone support and resistance zone at the major trend.
trade safe, Joe.
