EUR/USD : Expect a Fall ? Let's See ! (READ THE CAPTION)With a new review of the Euro/Dollar chart, we can see that the price has been corrected by entering the old FVG range and is currently trading in the range of 1.08 ! The first scenario is the fall from this range and the second scenario is the first rise to 1.087 and then the start of the fall again! Considering today's important meeting of the Federal Reserve, we cannot consider one scenario with more certainty, so we will follow the chart step by step!

CADUSD: Looking very bearish to meI'm expecting to see USD strength through March with a Hawkish Fed that has strength ibn their economy, compared to all other crosses.
Looking at the 4hr chart I'm seeing a couple of bearish engulfing candles and therefor looking for a short in an LTF.
There is very choppy water between 0.735 and 0.7366 so we may see a lot of indecision here but I'm overall bearish and expect the drop down to major support.

USDJPY H4 (19th Feb)Could the USDJPY correct further to the downside, with DXY weakness dragging it lower?
Despite potential downside on the USDJPY, i'd still prefer to look for buying opportunities while the BOJ's monetary policy continues to diverge from the FOMC. (who knows how long this will last)
Look for a potential bounce on the USDJPY a the 149.60 (interim support and 23.6% fib retracement) or 148.70 (key support level and 38.2% fib retracement area)
How to BRR 101Refer to my prev AMD post back in Jan for credibility - I predicted run to 158-165 when it was in the 130s (result: ran to 180s).
Now we have a buy the dip opportunity after earnings sell off. There is still too much demand for this to tank yet, it wants one more high (at least).
Path to targets is the solid black line. Bullish channel its respecting is the dashed blue channel, every time it dips outside of that it gets bought up fast:
- Initial target = 187.50 by 2/9/2024
- After that hits it will pullback to around 176
- If 176 can hold as support it will make one final run to 192-199 by early March 2024
Trailing Stop loss is 2 consecutive closes below the dotted red line.
Entered Feb 16 175 calls for 3.50 on 1/31/2024 (underlying 167.67)
Will FOMC cause a EUR/USD rush?We’re coming down to the last hour stretch for the trading day (depending on your location, I’m in New York so closing time is 5:00 P.M. (1700)
As indicated in my previous idea for the EUR/USD, it has been a pretty slow decline for the past 10 days however; it is still wedged in, in terms of a still valid falling wedge pattern.
If the daily candle closes with a gain, that signifies a strong indication of a bullish move but the question is, if the bulls decided to run, how far will the up move be?
If targets are at the pattern projection, we’re looking at 1.0900 minimum which is in the same area at the main pivot zone.
If sellers come pouring in, then I’d project a move down to at least 1.0750. With FOMC on the horizon, I wouldn’t be surprised if price whipsawed to stop many traders out before actually making any significant move.
From a purely technical point of view, we’ve got a falling wedge with what is now a more prominent “hidden” MACD divergence.
Long term, I’m bullish on the EUR/USD due to a large bullish pattern that can be observed on both the Monthly and Quarterly time frames.
Projected long term price targets are 1.1500 followed by a second target of 1.2000
We shall see tomorrow with FOMC and NFP Friday morning.
Trade safe and manage risk.
Update: Here is the fundamental and TA for Crude oil PricesWednesday we had inventory reports that showed an increase in US oil production combined with the feds hawkish interest rate sentiment which sent prices deep into discount. OPEC did announce they will be cutting oil production while US supply did increase apparently, US production has slowed down the last 18months. I believe next week this will start to reflect in the Crude oil inventory report, if economic data starts lessen it will give us a strong push to the upside amid the rising tension in the middle east (OPEC cuts and Nile attacks).

Bears Beware of FOMCPapa Powell might be the catalyst for final blowoff top.
Massive surge to 5K is within striking distance.
Breakout above B-bands is unusual and virtually always rejected. Watch for it.
From Weds PM 31st until Friday noon we could well see ATH.
So many bears now, "It just can't get any higher!" But it can. Beware.

🔥 Bitcoin Losing The Short-Term Uptrend? BAD Reaction To FOMCWith the FOMC practically concluded, the market is reacting with a strong sell-off in both crypto and stocks. The FED has announced to keep their interest rate stable for the 4th time in a row, as it wants to see a stronger reduction in inflation before cutting rates.
Higher rates for longer, the market doesn't like that.
As seen on the chart, BTC is trading in a decent uptrend for the last week. However, there's a risk that the FOMC will mark a top and that the bears will take over from here. Keep in mind, bears are still waiting patiently after the post-ETF sell-off.
If BTC breaks through the bottom support, we could quickly fall back towards 41k or even lower.
GOLD.. need to watch these areas, whats next??#GOLD.. well guys market very well hold your upside area 2054 as we discussed in our perveiouys idea,
so now below 2054 market immediate support is 2045 keep close it.
because if this is buying scnerio then 2045 is the supporting area,
stay sharp guys because FUND RATE & FOMC STATEMENT on table in a while.
these range need your focus guys, 2045 is your key level now..
trade wisely
good luck
THE KOG REPORT - FOMCThe KOG REPORT – FOMC
This is our view for FOMC, please do your own research and analysis to make an informed decision on the markets. It is not recommended you try to trade the event if you have less than 6 months trading experience and have a trusted risk strategy in place. The markets are extremely volatile, and these events can cause aggressive swings in price.
On Sundays report we said we had 3 levels in mind for the week ahead. 2010-12, 2030-35 and extension level 2045-50. It’s this level here we were expecting a move into for a potential tap and bounce, however, on Monday we activated long and took our trades from the 2018 completing another Excalibur target today around 2043. We’re still within the plan on the KOG Report, but FOMC is likely to throw us some curve balls, so we’ll have to play the cards we’re dealt for the rest of the week!
So, for todays move we’re still looking at extreme levels, not only due to FOMC, which may already be priced in, but also for NFP. We’re going to highlight the above resistance level as 2060-5 as a potential target level from support regions below, that’s if the price level is not touched during the rest of the week. This now turns 2030-35 into support on the flip which could be a level they dip into on the move, to then continue the move to the upside, before we then see a reaction in price.
Pre-event plan, we’re going to stick with one scenario, if we get it we’re in, if not, we’re happy to sit and wait for the right set up. If you’ve taken enough from the market already, please also do the same. We’ll be looking for price to push up into the 2060-65 region and hold, this level we feel holds an opportunity to short the market back down into the 2050-45 price point, and then below that 2030-35. Price will need to break below the 2030 level to complete the move to the downside, as we initially wanted in the KOG report on Sunday targeting the break of 2000!
Price breaks above 2060-65, we’ll sit and wait for tomorrow and let Excalibur activate.
KOG’s bias for the event:
Bullish above 2030 with targets above 2060 and above that 2065
Bearish on break of 2030 with target below 2010
Please use this as a guide, FOMC is most likely priced in. It’s the press conference 30mins into the hour where the market will be looking for clues to future economic news. We may see some late sessions movement across the markets, so please make sure you have a strict risk model in place, if you’re going to try and trade it. Otherwise, sit it out, wait for them to move the market to where they want to, then look for the right set up at the right time.

Dollar Index (DXY): FED Rate AHEAD! 💵
Today, we are expecting FED interest rate decision and FED press conference.
In this video, I share a detailed technical outlook and potential scenarios for Dollar Index.
Watch carefully, because it will help you to prepare for the coming news.
❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️
higher prices on Crude oil (update) If prices continue to struggle going bullish after inventory
or week come in red. I expect prices to drop into mitigation and if that happens you will see an explosive move on oil.
Otherwise, they should take buy side liquidity @70.77 and come back into internal range (mitigation/volume imbalance)
Mind you, if the fed also cuts rates today that will weaken the USD and strengthen foreign currencies creating more demand for oil and short inventory reports will surge prices higher.
