BTC 4 HOUR CHART _ STILL DISAPPOINTING

BTC remains aa disappointment, not only its failure to stay above 65K but also its failure to act as a safe haven.

It is now dependent on staying above 60K or  rik aa run to 57-59K.

US500 4 HOUR CHART – Consolidation or retracement?

Retreat from the record high so far holding off a serious retracement by staying above the 5772 line.

With a Geopolitical cloud hanging over markets and Friday’s US jobs report looming, keep an eye on 5700 as that will likely set the tone.

No matter what, the Middle East risk should keep stocks cautious into the weekend.

XAUUSD 4 HOUR CHART – Consolidating

With geopolitical tensions/safe haven flows cutting short thoughts of a retracement so let’s keep it simple.

Record high is 2685 but if you assume range is 2600-2700m then look for 2650 to have a magnetic quality and set the trading bias.

YSDJPY DAILY CHART – AIMING HIGHER?

USDJPY trying to build momentum to the upside and while 146.49 is the near term focus, the key level is 147.20.

Should 136.20 be taken out then 139-150 comes into play.

On the downside, 144.50-00 is the key support zone.

If GbpUsd 3250 survives the pair is likely going up fairly well looking out a bit.

10yr 114’21 is a price magnet.  I see risk off sentiment creeping in since the start of the hour.

Stocks so far hanging in there while USD trades with a bid

Use the anti-dollar EURUSD 1.1050 as a USD bias setting level (last 1.1042)

As noted earlier, USDJPY 146.49 is on the radar if it trades above 145

Ah Losses – books can be written on those 😀 As you disclosed something from past, let me share something of my own :

I was still very young ( but will learn 😀 , when in front of the whole Bank, all the dealers on the desk and General Manager present , went Short on USDJPY – 105.75 , very confident ….calm…full of myself…It moved against me a bit, but not much…fine…part of the game…next morning, Chief dealer on the desk calling me at around 6 am – hysterical….rate was on 107.50…position wasn’t small…I explained him that all is OK, it is just an Uptick and soon they’ll go for below 100 ( perfect target at 80 and possibly new low…no questions asked…Of course it went 109….112….I was forced to close it at 115….

I moved to USDDEM – end of story 😀

P.S. I still remember some significant rates for different currencies , and even use them as part of my passwords 😀

Bobby –

I would like to offer a sample of how incredibly accurate I can be.  But based  on a loss.  THE perfect loss.

Years ago when on the phone with my CTA partner in New York, I bought Dow futures at the exact high tick.  That tick remained the high for 6 months.

My partner could not stop laughing.  My reputation got around a bit after that.  You must have a sense of humor in this business.

I did close the trade quickly lol.

The perfect loss.

Markets are manipulated from the stone age of course, but what makes it interesting is the fact that all those manipulations make sense at the end of the day – looking at charts one can easily spot ( IQ needed 😀 “rules” that drive the market.

Different manipulators with always different agendas exclude each others in the process – for one to earn the other has to lose – so bottom line : look carefully and use their manipulations in your own favour….

[SF Monedge]

And example of my earlier post.  Years ago another CTA in New York and I would time Dow futures based on a Dow Jones Newswire commentary that came out at exactly 11am PST / 2pm EST every morning.  The market would almost instantly go strongly the opposite direction of what the commentary said.  This went on for over a year with only the rare occasions it did not transpire that way.

If you pay attention you can find how, when, and where markets are being manipulated.

[SF Monedge]

BOJ comments are very calculated.  I obviously intensely monitor various markets.  That comment earlier is the third time in a row that a comment was made at exactly the time/price where various types of algorithms would move the market counter to BOJ wishes.  Zero question about it.

USD got a boost from ADP jobs beating on the upside (even though it is not a good indicator of NFP… once again, it is the reaction to news that matters

[GVI Forex 2]

USDJPY 145.33 last

Reaction to news is what matters… first BoJ Gov, then the PM… although as noted earlier 145 was at risk on a break of 144.50-55 and further risk of above 146
