EURUSD Daily
Another day, another test of trendline – and again failure…
Yesterday a question was raised : what is a Firm break – it is when they manage to close above/below the trendline , and at best twice in a row.
Now twice it failed….
Look at that yellow MA – I know…it means nothing to you…but to me it is a world.
If EUR manages to close tonight just above it, tomorrow we’ll be seeing a sharp leg UP, and most probably a final break of the trendline in that case.
But if it closes just below it – another leg down.
Pay attention to “just above/below” – exactly that…anything else would be no mans land.
As I stated days ago – 1.03500 is the pivotal point, and as long as EURUSD plays around it , both ways are possible. All Bets are OFF Only on the decisive break of 1.04350 and capability of the pair to stay above it.

A look at the day ahead in U.S. and global markets from Mike Dolan
Likely a taste of things to come, stock and currency markets were knocked back and forth on the first day of Donald Trump’s new presidency as they second guessed his trade tariff plans and remained largely in the dark on the issue as U.S. markets return from Monday’s holiday.
Aw I posted late yewterday (note high was 1.0434…..
Is this just a relief reaction that tariffs were not announced on day one of the new Trump era?
For a fatal blow, the daily trendline and 1.0435-55 would need to be firmly broken.
On the downside, only a break of 1.0330-54 would expose 1.03 again.
To keep it dimple today, 1.0350 will wet the intra-day tone while within 1,03-1.04 but updide ie limited while below 1.0385-00
GER30 DAILY CHART – WHEN MIGHT IT PAUSE?

USDCAD 1 HOUR CHART – Elevator doiwn, elevator up
As I posted late yesdterday
1.4279-1.4467 has been the range for over 4 weeks with both sides briefly broken, the past few days, so far without follow throug.
Now that the downside hasa just been tested, a firm move below 1.3279 would be needed to suggest more scope on the downside. Otherwise it is back into the range.
Usdcad ais bck in its range after the tariffs news spike to 1.4516… but this time with support on dips as long as it stays aboive 1.4393.
There are times when markets react to news that makes you want to scratch your head so hard your hair would fall out.
The reaction yesterday to the WSJ tariffs story was one of them. It is why I called it a relief reaction that there was no mention of tariffs on day one.
Well, that did not last the full day as life in the new Trump era started with headline roulette.
As I wrote to a GV member late yesterday afternoon
The reaction Monday was bs. . . Just a matter of when Trump calls for tariffs
Trump made me sound like a genius although I didn’t expect to see it come so soon (scroll below for the headline).
The moral is that life in Trumpworld should be viewed as actions speak louder than words.
As we should all know by now there will will be no shortage of words to create headlines and volatility but in the end actions are what counts.
In this regard the threat of tariffs are words but a cloud over markets and what the actual policy entails is what will matter in the end.
Here is the full story
Trump says he’s thinking of imposing 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico in February
USDCAD DAILY CHART – STILL IN A RANGE?
1.4279-1.4467 has been the range for over 4 weeks with both sides briefly broken, the past few days, so far without follow throug.
Now that the downside hasa just been tested, a firm move below 1.3279 would be needed to suggest more scope on the downside. Otherwise it is back into the range.
