EURUSD 4 HOUR CHART – -FOCUS ON 1.05
EURUSD is back below 1.05 following a double top at 1.0528 yesterday and yet to test 1.05, which has printed 5 days in a row.
While a break of this pattern would send a bearish signal it would only be confirmed if 1.0449=50 is firmly broken.
Meanwhile, there is a full day ahead for this pattern to be extended or fail.
Range so far today: Â 1.0459-92

Month-end FX hedge rebalancing expectations
Banks are releasing their month end rebalancing expectations for February and there is a consensus for USD demand.
Deutsche Bank’s model signals for February, based on current equity performance, suggest a reasonable shift toward USD buying. The largest relative outperformance is most pronounced versus European equities and therefore points towards EUR/USD supply.
In combination with the standard corporate month-end flows being more USD positive, sales of EUR/USD are one of Deutsche’s higher conviction views for the week ahead from a flow prospective.
The bank also notes how this is the first time in a while that the U.S. equity underperformance has been versus all of the rest-of-the-world indices that they track. This adds to its more bullish USD bias in the short term, especially due to the lack of other news flow for the week ahead.
Deutsche also highlights its seasonality charts and a sizable selling of NZD/USD on the day before month end, February 27, of 0.58% on average over the last 10 years. AUD/USD also shows a skew towards average selling on the month end date itself (February 28) and the day before.
Tesla – TSLA
Something to spice up this dull EUR morning…
Tesla Has Lost $400 Billion In Value During Trump Presidency. What the Charts Say Comes Next
Data Shows Europe Sales Are Down 45%
Charts are clear – Tesla tried to hold on 350 level, but banana slide was too slippery for it.
We are looking at 255 as a potentially base building level, unless….Tesla just slides through it as well.
Some support might be seen between 295 and 310, but resistance at 325 is looming dangerously.
For those of us that are endlessly in love with V6 Turbo engines it is a very pleasing development, but those of you that hold  this losing stock is painful…I know…time to change your driving habits…
Out a bit earlier… giving EURUSD some support as market starts to factor in the Russia-Ukraine war end game
