ridethepig | Dollar FocusUntil this advanced coronavirus move was played, the flow had been relatively straight-forward, a smooth transition of the Titanic turning was more an ideal than reality. This corresponds to the process I have remarked on, that the US face a choice between a weaker USD or a weaker Equity market. The lack of restraint from Powell gives way to a mechanical swing towards the 74 handle.
So much for the strategic and theoretical manoeuvre when a full blown demand and supply shock storms into play. The practical value of the spike in USD makes things a lot easier to trade in US 2's 5's curve as you can see the recession is not a matter of if but when:
The Longer term flows here will carry us towards 50 over a 5 wave sequence, those who follow waves will know the technical target is now exposed:
Consumer Staples is showing signs of topping:
While Claims show signs of forming a floor:
Naturally it is all very well to aim for the 75 handle in DXY, driving buyers all the way back, but one must not go so far as to go overboard and intoxicate our strategic execution. As a whole, the defence is being carried out with insufficient knowledge as US virus numbers are only going to tick higher.
Now comes a breakthrough, Fed are funding the Whitehouse which logically comes from having a mandate to keep Equities higher. There is nowhere to hide, a really difficult environment to trade you will say. Excellent understanding of the macro flows and drivers in play are required.

Trump
Let's try to guess ... when it will end. S&PHello friends.
I took the fear index on s&p - vix, we now have almost its maximum purpose, imposed fibonacci ... just for fun, and got the result of 2200. I do not advise buying from this value. Just guessing.
Of all the events, only 2 factors confuse me: the fall rate is too high and the fact that this happens on the eve of the Trump election.
Bitcoin update: Part 6I've updated my analysis by making minor changes such as removing irrelevant trend lines and highlighting more important aspects such as the overall Cup and Handle pattern and converting all previous supports(in green) to current resistance levels(in red). I've also labeled the effect of the corona virus as the Elliot Wave pattern and the Head and Shoulders pattern. Last week I predicted 7600.00, however after a short pause at that level, Bitcoin went on to plunge to 6000.00.
I believe that after a short correction by means of a return to one of the above resistance levels, Bitcoin will reach the 4800.00 level. If you think that this is a big request, don't act shocked when the markets rattle unexpectedly again.
Good luck and follow me for more!

S&P-500On March 17-18, there will be another FED meeting and the interest rate may be lowered, but if they don't reduce it the markets will be hurt. They don't have much space now at 1% and the fourth rate cut will lead to zero-zero or even negative.
Soon the presidential election, the correlation is 100% if the candidate wants to be re-elected and there has been a recession in the financial markets during this time, the president has never been re-elected in conditions like this.
Mr. Trump in one of his main speeches said: "buy shares".
He constantly has commented on the market and in the end, Trump will approach the election with a negative economic market condition.
I think it will harm his chance to be re-elected president again.
When he was in Europe, he said he liked negative rates. Mr. Trump tweeted when Obama was still president that if some president lets Dow Jones drop over 1,000 points happen, you had to shove him in a gun and shoot him in space.
Now the Dow Jones drops 1,000 points every day. The market isn't feverish now because of the coronavirus, the markets aren't looking at the virus anymore, everybody's focusing on the election.
Biden said he'd take Michelle Obama in the team. But it's not gonna help much as I think it will.
Michael Bloomberg withdrew his candidacy, Elizabeth Warren withdrew her too.
In my opinion, he'd be a good rival against Mr. Trump, the other candidates are losing.
Let's see how it goes, I am not a politician and I am not a US resident.
That's my subjective opinion.

EUR/USD: weekly (T)Hi Guys,
please find above an update of the following idea posted a year ago on March 9, 2019
Medium-Term narrative: since Trump has been elected US President at the end of 2016 the dollar weakened a lot at the beginning of his term to regain strenght before 2020 US Presidential Elections.
Long-Term narrative: I have some ideas but I need to outline them on another chart otherwise it may become too messy. But I think this is enough in view of fortcoming US Presidential Elections at the end of 2020.

STOCK MARKET CRASH PENDING...price will bounce around 25k-30k before the next president is elected. Bernie sanders will win. once stocks start to tumble the crash will be put on the corona virus and upon sanders and his socialist stance. Crude oil will dip down to $42 per barrel. you heard it hear first.
ridethepig | JPY Market Commentary 2020.02.26On the risk side, US10Y bouncing from the lows while Global Equities attempt to form a s/t floor. Central Bank co-ordinated policy is only a matter of time, markets have forced FED, ECB, BOC, BOJ, BOE and everything in-between to kiss the hand and keep rate cuts on the table.
JPY is itching to resume dancing the same rhythm but given USD demand via month end rebalancing there will be room to sell USDJPY from cheaper levels later in the week. Look to fade any rallies into 110.7x with initial targets located at 110.3x and 109.8x. Invalidation of the view comes with a breach of 111.2x.
