EURUSD bagged and taggedAs mentioned before, so long as DXY has not reach the finishing line, which is the higher time frame upside objective,
Risk Off will still be in play.
Same narrative, different pair.
What happens when DXY finally gets to the upside objective? We sit sideline and study what it wants to do next.
There are only 3 possible direction of the market, Bullish / Bearish / Consolidation.
Usually, in my opinion, after a prolonged rally / decline, price will tend to consolidate for a bit.
After consolidation comes expansion. The question is, expansion to the upside or downside?
Now, this short-term bullishness of USD as I previously stated, could be Bear Market Rally for USD.
Mr Powell will likely hike rates again in the next Federal Fund Rate announcement.
In theory, higher interest rate means bullish for currency.
But look at US domestic debt condition. Will that spook investors?

AW 10Y Bond Yields - The Large Pullback Ahead Means Recession...In this video I talk about the bigger picture going back to 1150AD and how I have always anticipated this move up in rates.
See down below all videos that are related to this idea.
We are in a correction phase of Wave 2 in Bond Yields.
This type of expansion means that they are preparing themselves for a recession even though they don't mention it.
They know.
The FED must always keep the public distracted with the inflation narrative.
The truth is that they have to keep the party going therefore they will use manipulated data to justify their actions.
This is all done through compartmentalization which is used by governments and the military industrial complex.
This is also done to the public to make sure you are happy even though you are losing everything.
Sound familiar? The truth is they have been slowly preparing you for the future.
Don't think that it's coming because it's been here the whole time.

Prudential (PRU.l) bearish scenario:The technical figure Channel Up can be found in the daily chart in the UK company Prudential plc (PRU.l). Prudential plc is a British multinational insurance company. It was founded in London in May 1848 to provide loans to professional and working people. The Channel UP broke through the support line on 22/02/2023. If the price holds below this level, you can have a possible bearish price movement with a forecast for the next 25 days towards 1 173.20 GBX. According to experts, your stop-loss order should be placed at 1 336.00 GBX if you decide to enter this position.
Prudential's stock increased significantly by 41% over the past three months. But the company's key financial indicators appear to be differing across the board and that makes us question whether or not the company's current share price momentum can be maintained.
While the company does have a high rate of reinvestment, the low ROE means that all that reinvestment is not reaping any benefit to its investors, and moreover, its having a negative impact on the earnings growth.
Prudential's earnings have declined over five years, contributing to shareholders 21% loss.

On the lighter side of thingsThe questions in recent times...
- Is the federal reserve going to slow down on future rate increases?
- Could we see a cut in rates in 2023?
- With terminal rates still undecided, could it be revised higher?
Perhaps the height of the Central Banker of the US Federal Reserve could be a leading indicator of interest rate decisions! (I'm not being serious, but it was interesting to see the correlations)
I started trading FX when Chair Bernanke (5ft 8in) was in the prime position and oversaw a steady decline in interest rates (ignoring the fact that the Global Financial Crisis caused significant turmoil in the markets)
The current Chair, Jerome Powell stands at 5ft 10in, an increase from Chair Yellen at 5ft 3in. A change in the Central Banker height trend has led to US interest rates climbing higher from 0% to the current of 4.75%!!
Chair Greenspan (5ft 8in), was THE first central banker I've read about and probably what got me interested in the financial markets, ushered in a strong US economy in the 90s. Greenspan oversaw rate hikes as he too battled with "high" inflation in 1997.
So, perhaps instead of overthinking about employment, CPI, GDP, QE, and YCC, all we have to do is pay attention to the change in the height of the Federal Reserve Chairperson.
What do you think?
Reduce inflation rate from 6.5% to 3% this years, says WilliamsFOMC's Williams speech did not do much, as he was echoing what Jerome Powell already said 2 days ago. Rate hikes to resume, but at slower pace. Williams mentioned that inflation rate in the US should cool off to 3% this year, now at 6.5%. That's 50% lower.
Question is, how much more rate hike is required to push inflation down by 50%? Will that be somehow somewhat slowdown the US economy as a whole? A whole lot more tightening will need to take place, as I see it. Lending has already begun to tighten and credit is more difficult to obtain due to stricter requirements by banks.
Hmm... how will this play out?

Negative Real RateReal rate is different from interest rate. Real rate is the difference between interest rate with the inflation. We have been running on negative real rate for a decade plus. This is an accommodative measure by the Fed to make sure the market is still running hot. S&P500 has been running well during this period of time where the interest rate is kept below the inflation. However there are several occasion where the negative real rate is running deep in 1970s and 2020s, which prompt the Fed to raise the rate. However so far we have not seen real rate hikes goes into positive territory yet. When the real rate is in positive territory S&P500 index will also running well as the economy is running well without Fed's life line support. However I'd expect that the market will be flat and volatile during transition between negative to positive real rate, because the market trying to figure out whether the economy would be running well or not when the life support is removed slowly.
GOLD BULLISH SCENARIOGOLD is described as a safe haven against war, inflation, and banking collapse as we can see on the daily chart. The 2 fat red candles are basically 3 interest rate decisions in two consecutive days which were all hikes. Uptrend support shows signs of resuming the previously steady uptrend. The dovish comments from Powel can be interpreted as neutral, in our case here is support for that trend.

DXY GAME ON!! SPIKE COMING FOR THE DOLLAR?Last week's surprising jobs report sticky inflation, and persistent and frothy financial conditions may force the Federal Reserve members into a more hawkish position, forcing them to keep the heat on interest rates and the money supply.
Many market participants were looking for a pause in rate hikes as soon as next month and possibly a pivot to lowering rates shortly after. This new data is going against what the Fed was trying to accomplish in this rate hike cycle, which is
to keep inflation within mandated guidelines, and to tame loose financial conditions, dashing the hopes for a pivot in policy anytime soon and pushing that pivot out for far longer than some were expecting. This will put upward pressure on bond yields and a dollar so heavily shorted causing the pivot crowd to close out some of their short positions as the Fed puts the screws to the money supply and inflation. This classic cup and handle setup illustrates the effect the Fed Policy may have on the dollar.
FFR Inversion with 2 Year USTMany believe the Fed kept the Federal Funds Rate (FFR, in orange) too low for too long. But the recent path of hiking has caused the FFR to now get above the 2 year UST yield (in blue) -- a situation that rarely happens, and rarely is a "good" sign for markets. Stay alert.
The Pure Short Interest Rate Play: /GEThe long interest rate play may have been one of the most productive plays of, oh, the last five years or so (maybe more) with shorts in (pick your poison) SHY (1-3 year maturity paper), IEF (7-10), TLT (20+), EMB (emerging market), HYG (junk) being the rage, particularly with the Fed giving the market a fairly good idea of the when. Unfortunately, the point at which the Fed starts considering easing is -- at least at this point -- more fuzzy both in terms of timing and the terminal rate at which we end similarly covered in fur.
That being said, it's good to be prepared and to look at the who's, what's, when's, and where's of where you might take the purest form of a bet that rates ease from that point forward and that (at least in my little noggin) is with /GE.
Pictured here is /GE, where you can see how fabulous the short was from basically ZIRP to where we are today, with the box wrapped around a potential terminal rate of between 5.25% and 5.75%. My basic notion here is to long /GE in some fashion in this area or ultimately where the terminal rate ends up, particularly when the Fed gives us some sense of the "when" of a potential cut. Chairman Powell has indicated a lack of likelihood for a 2023 cut with the CME Fed Watch Tool reflecting that to some minor extent,* but -- as we've seen repeatedly -- the landscape (inflation, unemployment, yada yada) can change, so the terminal rate may end up slightly (or not so slightly) different from current expectations of 500-550 bps and the timing of any eventual cuts slightly (or not so slightly) different from the markets thoughts on the matter.
* -- Currently, the Tool indicates that the market is leaning (but somewhat equivocally) toward a small potential cut in June, but is looking more toward the end of the year toward potential cuts at the moment (i.e., at the November and December meetings) which are similarly equivocal.
GBPJPY Key Support Zone GBPJPY Has retested off the key support zone again to create the end of a triple bottom that we previously saw break out bearish but with last weeks positive news for GBP and the downward trend of the JPY add confluence to the pivot point and we could see prices rise, that being said amidst the gloomy outlook on the undecided interest rates in the UK it would be wise to see how we react after market open going into next week and if we continue bearish to retest the support or break through.
XAUUSD Potential Bearish Trade.The chart for XAUUSD could be a bearish trade given that the Federal Reserve increase interest rates to 25bp, this Federal decision could affect the XAUUSD trade favor to USD side, but according in the Federal report by Jerome Powell, Chairman of Federal Reserve, "that is for Congress to raise the debt ceiling so that the United States government can pay all of its obligations when due," Powell said. "Any deviations from that path would be highly risky. And no one should assume that the Fed can protect the economy from the consequences of failing to act in a timely manner." Powell said.

Housing prices yet to adjust to reality of high interest ratesHousing prices yet to adjust to reality of high interest rates
Housing prices can be sticky and take multi-years to adjust
If the interest rates persist for few years, we can see the downward pressure for next few year
Just to be clear this is a multi year cycle.
EURUSD before FEDToday we await the announcement of interest rates by the FED.
This is the most important news right now and is sure to cause movement.
Bear in mind that there will be press conferences 30 minutes after the announcement.
Yesterday we discussed the buying zone which is already reached and we have a rise.
It’s important to see confirmation of this movement after the news. Only then we can enter into new trades.
If we see new rise, the first target will be 1,1000. In case of a clear movement we will be looking for further targets.
My thoughts for this week 31 January 2023US
This week will be a fairly exciting to monitor as Interest Rate announcement and Non-Farm Payroll data will be release. Two heavy hitting news that is very key to understanding further trends in the markets, especially on DXY.
Through entire January 2023, DXY is consolidating steadily and holding ground around 101.500 area. Could this week’s high impact news finally get DXY out of consolidation? We shall see. However, we know that Federal Reserve will be raising rates again by 25 basis points, which mainstream news outlets seem to be mentioning. With this data, theoretically, if rates go up, it is bullish for the currency and vice versa.
Another thing to consider is that, Japan and China are still dumping US Treasuries/Bonds and many other countries are attempting to de-dollarize. Further add to the fuel is US’s national debt ceiling that has been breached last week. These 2 scenarios are very bad for the US economy. How much of bullishness will 25 basis point increase bring about? So far, from the last two, Federal Fund Rate announcement (Nov & Dec 2022), we see that DXY declined even with 50 basis points hike. Could history repeat again? Perhaps DXY can reclaim 102.500 – 103.000 but I do not think whole-heartedly that it will give 105.000 a go.
China
With China’s re-opening, there is definitely positivity circling the global markets. China’s GDP growth was reported up by 3% for the year 2022, higher than expected rate of 2.8% but yet still fell short of March’s target of 5.5%. The sign of growth, though little, is still a sign of improvement. Considering after months’ long Zero Covid policy and geopolitical tension with the West, problematic real estate sector, this slight improvement definitely have greater volume to it than just the number.
We cannot take our eyes away from the long term end goal of China, which is to be the next reserve currency of the world. Collaboration with some powerful nations e.g. Saudi Arabia, Brazil, South Africa, Indonesia, India etc via BRICS+ bloc, brings Xi Jin Ping’s path to dominance one step closer day by day. Recently, Saudi Arabia also made public about their consideration of non-US Dollar for Oil trade. Gold continues to be horded by China, as well as Russia and major central banks of the world, just goes to prove the level skepticism towards the greenback.
Just my thoughts.

VIX long, but how long?VIX price movement is clearly narrowing from a charting technical view, but within the economic fundamentals we have the FED raising rates at an extremely fast pace into a slowdown. Their publicly stated inflation projection was clearly wrong, I highly doubt they will squash inflation with much accuracy given these blunt force tools. For this reason the VIX could go well beyond the 35-40 range if the FED over raised rates. Since Powell was guessing on inflation after injecting more money into the system than ever before(no data to support obviously), it’s fair to assume there is no data to support the current pace and magnitude of raises in this slowing environment. If the current pace is perfect(again no data it would be almost lucky) then the VIX could fall from 35. My base case is the VIX goes over 40 and the FED cuts rates to fix their second mess later this year.
