Using my platform as a HEATMAP shows
.. the dollar trading firmer except vs. the JPY, a reversal of what wax seen at this time yesterday as mood turns to risk off (and an unchanged GBPISD… weaker EURGBP)

USDJPY came within 10 pips of 151.30 and then went into retreat
EURUSD printed 1.08 (6th day in a row) but no higher
XAUUSD at a new record high
Tame EZ flash CPI

DAX Slumps as Auto Tariffs Take a Toll
Frankfurt’s DAX fell more than 1.5% to trade below 22,500 on Thursday, underperforming its regional peers, with auto stocks pushing down the index.
US President Donald Trump announced 25% tariffs on all car imports, exacerbating the trade dispute with the European Union.
He also warned that he would impose substantially higher tariffs on the EU and Canada if they coordinated efforts to counter trade tariffs.
I was just asked how do you know there is a real money sell order in the JPY?
My reply:; It’s like a tug-of-war with the USD caught in the middle
When yiou see 2 currenies move in oppodite directions vs the USD, (e.g. buying EUR and GBP, selling JPY)you can assume there is “real money” buy or sell order in the cross.

6 Things You Need to Know

Updates which weigh on European equities with Auto names lagging, US futures mixed/firmer
DXY mixed with GBP outperforming in an attempted recovery from Wednesday’s action while JPY lags
EGBs and USTs diverge as they focus on growth and inflationary implications of the latest rhetoric respectively
Crude benchmarks lower, TTF choppy, XAU gains and base metals slip
Using my platform as a HEATMAP shows
… the dollar trading mixed to lower after aextending its upside in early trading.
EURUSD range 1.0733-1.0787 so…
…if -.07 does not trade then a 4 day pattern around this level will be broken (bearish indicator).
Approaching month/quarter end rebalancing said to favor dollar buying.
XAUUSD catching a bid
Relatively light calendar
U.S. weekly jobless claims, final Q4 GDP revision, pending home sales
Otherwise it remains a Trump and tariffs headline driven market
EURUSD 4h
Situation is not clear, yet but indications are here…
We have two important levels to watch now:
1.07600/700 above the head
1.07200 below
Return above 1.07700 would be indicative of renewed Up trend
Break below 1.07200 would open a road to 1.05000
Daily ranges are pathetic, and obviously only force are stop losses.
