Dollar Weakens Amid Concerns Over New TariffsThe U.S. dollar traded weaker on Thursday, dropping 0.22% in the DXY index, despite the release of economic figures that slightly exceeded market expectations. This negative move becomes technically significant as it occurs near the 200-period moving average, a key level that was breached earlier in March, placing the greenback under greater short-term selling pressure.
The key economic data released was the Q4 2024 Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which showed an annualized growth rate of 2.4%, marginally above the expected 2.3%, though representing a notable slowdown from the previous quarter’s 3.1%. This growth was primarily driven by consumer spending, which rose 4%, its fastest pace since Q1 2023, and higher government expenditures (3.1%), partially offsetting declines in fixed investment and exports.
Despite the apparent economic optimism suggested by these figures, the underlying strength of the dollar remains questioned due to recent trade policy decisions by the Trump administration and the significant deterioration in consumer sentiment during Q1 2025. Particularly noteworthy is the announcement of new 25% tariffs on imported vehicles and auto parts, effective from April 3. Trump labeled this date as the "Liberation Day" for the U.S. automotive industry, asserting the primary goal is to stimulate local production and correct historically unfair trade practices.
However, substantial risks emerge from this policy, including potential disruptions to global supply chains, a significant increase in new vehicle prices (ranging from an additional $4,000 to $12,200 per unit), especially affecting electric vehicles highly dependent on imported components, and inflationary pressures that might compel the Federal Reserve to reconsider its current pause on restrictive monetary policy.
Additionally, the auto industry immediately reacted negatively, with shares of giants like General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis declining, while Canada and the European Union strongly opposed the measure, considering potential retaliatory actions that could escalate global trade tensions.
In this scenario, markets closely watch Friday’s release of the PCE inflation report and the University of Michigan's inflation expectations index, indicators that could provide crucial insights into the Federal Reserve's next moves. The Fed remains cautiously on the sidelines, evaluating the real impact of governmental trade policies on inflation and economic growth.
Ultimately, although today the dollar exhibited technical and fundamental weakness, its future outlook continues to hinge significantly on domestic and international political and economic dynamics, promising continued high operational volatility in the near term.

Yesterday I took a long walk and i thought about you.
Because I want to help you learn how to trade.
Look at this chart in order to find this chart I used the rocket booster strategy.
What is the rocket booster strategy?
It has 3 Steps:
#1-Price has to be above the 50 EMA
#2-Price has to be above the 200 EMA
#3-Price has to Gap up
These shows you a strong uptrend on the week and on the day ratings.
Also considering the oscillator
Should give you a sell signal on your *New* TradingView screener.
But this has to be on a daily chart.
But one last step.
The MACD signal line (blue) Should be below the MACD level line (orange).
This gives you a red bar below the zero line.
If you don't understand this don't worry I will make video for you next time.
For now understanding the technical terms

Gold Tests Trendline, 3000 Target Still in SightGold’s horizontal move ended on Friday with the breakdown of the short-term support at 3025. Since then, the critical 3000 level has been tested twice but is still holding for now. The short-term trend has turned bearish, leaving gold prices stuck between the downward pressure from above and key supports at 3000 and the 200-hour moving average.
Trump's recent softer messaging regarding the April 2 tariffs has temporarily eased upward pressure. Today's consumer confidence data will be significant, especially ahead of Friday's PCE release.
If the short-term downtrend channel holds, another attempt at the 3000 level could occur today, and a break below 3000 might intensify downward momentum.
On the upside, the immediate resistance levels to watch are the short-term downtrend line and 3030, both very close to the current price. A breakout above these levels could signal a continuation of flat move above 3000 until key economic data arrives later this week.
S&P 500 Correction Channel Keeps Bulls in Control, for NowThe S&P 500 has formed an uptrend channel after breaking out of the "tariff panic" downtrend, which had dragged the index down more than 10%. But is this new short-term uptrend merely a correction, or has the real direction changed? That’s the key question, one that will likely be answered in early April when the new tariffs take effect.
February consumer confidence data didn’t look promising, but much of the negativity had already been priced in during the earlier 10% sell-off. However, this week’s PCE report, combined with next week’s tariffs and jobs report, could become a catalyst for determining the short- to medium-term direction.
The 200-hour SMA has now reached the upper line of the trend channel. Together, they may create a strong resistance level. To the downside, 5700 is a key horizontal support level. By the end of this week, it will converge with the lower boundary of the channel, right as both the GDP and PCE data are released. Including the time factor, this confluence could mark the main short-term support.
As long as the trend channel holds, bulls remain in control.
EURUSD bearish optionEURUSD loses bullish momentum. We see a deceleration of the bullish impulse and a transition to consolidation that led to a breakout of the trend line below 1.08500. The next important level is 1.08000 because below that we can expect a stronger pullback, maybe even a return to 1.05000.
Buy, hold, and let those sweet returns melt in your portfolio!Guys, we all know the sector rotational for consumer defensive is now rebounded
regardless the sector rotation or tariffs noise, agribusiness and sugar remains an essential commodity in our daily life.
There are strategies that Wilmar has taken for the past 3 years. We have seen the share price is being strongly supported at SG$3.03.
Given the essential nature of sugar, Wilmar’s strategic positioning, strong financials, and resilient consumer demand, this could be an opportune time to buy and hold for long-term gains.
🗝️ Key Investment Considerations:
Strong Technical Support – Wilmar’s share price has consistently held above SG$3.03, indicating a solid support level.
📙 Fundamental Strength – The company has a wide economic moat, benefiting from its integrated agribusiness model.
💰 High Insider Ownership – With a 74.7% stake held by major investors, management has significant “skin in the game.”

NZDUSD Short BiasThe New Zealand Dollar is consolidating, lacking clear directional momentum. However, the short-term outlook appears bearish following a confirmed closure below a key structure zone. A break below the 0.5710 level could serve as confirmation for further downside continuation, signaling potential bearish momentum ahead.
CADCHF Short BiasThe price is currently in a strong position, retesting a key resistance zone, which aligns with the 50% Fibonacci retracement level. Additionally, the 200 EMA is acting as dynamic resistance, reinforcing the bearish bias. Given these confluences, a downside move is anticipated, in line with the prevailing trend.
EURGBP, time to short ! price declined from a supply zone and made a made a clean break and retest on the structure zone, by looking at EMAs (21,50 and 200) we can clearly see that price has broke through them with a strong bearish candle, and currently price is trading below moving averages indicating a bearish control in the market, I expect price to continue down

Pfizer: Oh Buyer Where Art Thou?Pfizer has struggled for years, and some traders may see risk of further downside.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the slide to a new 12-year low in October and November. The drugmaker barely retraced half that move at subsequent highs. It also remained mostly below its October low of $26.87. That may suggest old support has become new resistance.
Second is PFE’s price action at its 100-day simple moving average (SMA). It fell sharply after breaking that SMA in October and now seems to be stalling at the same line. (See white arrows.) That may reflect a longer-term downtrend.
Third, $25.53 was the weekly close in mid-February. It provided support earlier this month, but yesterday the stock returned to the same level. Could that trigger a breakdown?
Next, the 50-day SMA had a “death cross” under the 200-day SMA in late November. The 100-day SMA followed in December. The resulting alignment, with faster SMAs under slower ones, is potentially consistent with a downtrend.
Finally, PFE is an active underlier in the options market. (TradeStation data shows it ranking 13th in the S&P 500 in the last month, averaging about 110,000 contacts per day.) That could make it easier to position for moves with calls and puts.

15 Minutes.
Sideways consolidation on for moving averages to catch up.
For the moment upside is capped 576-579 levels which is also top of channel.
576 - 578 is a good sell for 571-573 levels target for today.
Since 3 moving averages are nearby 9, 21 and 50.
I expect a one-sided movement.
So far, no trade for me for the week.
FART/USDTSEED_WANDERIN_JIMZIP900:FART Cup and Handle on 1D chart! 🔥
✅ The cup is nicely rounded - a sign of bullish accumulation.
✅ Neckline around 0.5561-0.6119 (V-WVWAP) - price is hitting resistance here.
✅ Volume is increasing during the breakout attempt - which is a positive signal.
✅ Possible "eye" - price may correct back to support before further growth.
Targets:
🔹 Cup height measurement: Bottom around 0.3194, neckline 0.5561, gap ~0.2367.
🔹 Target level: 0.5561 + 0.2367 = ~0.7928 (possible bull target on patterning confirmation).
🔹 Fib levels may help - I see first resistance around 0.6176.
How to play it?
📌 Ideal entry: after a pullback to neckline (retest) or during a confirmed breakout with volume.
📌 Stop-loss: Below the last low of the neckline or below the neckline if it becomes support.
📌 Confirmation.
Overall, the pattern looks very bullish, but the reaction to 0.5561-0.6119 will be important. If it fails there, the ears may go lower.
