The primary reason UsdJpy and other Yen related pairs jumped off of a cliff is because the new leader of Japan chosen just last night, Shigeru Ishiba, is strongly in favor of a stronger Yen. He is also in favor of a stronger military, which if you have any common sense is a good idea considering the highly dangerous global conditions at present and looking outward.
There are conditions which point to decent oddsof UsdChf stalliing the bleeding around 8390 but as Jay has said for a very long time “be careful about catching falling knives.” So participate owning responsibility of your decisions.
One might think we see 6950 AudUsd eventually. If you were thinking long Usd you were premature. Hence mine and others posts yesterday in the forum to help.
A look at the day ahead in U.S. and global markets from Mike Dolan
U.S. stocks surf new records as the last full week of the quarter comes to a close, with China’s furious monetary easing accelerating the rebound there and Wall Street eyeing the release of the Fed’s favored inflation gauge.
After a barrage of interest rate cuts, real estate props and stock market supports this week, China’s central bank cut its one-week reverse repo rate by another 20 basis points on Friday – trying to get across what it likely sees as an alarming economic slowdown that may see it miss 2024 targets.
When you see a black hole move such as that in USDJPY, you can normally aassume there will be offers above the market by those caught out and hoping for a bounce.
Do you ever wonder why you turn on your screens and it is often hard to figure out which way the forex market will move as it appears to be in balance? Have you ever thought about why currencies settle into tight ranges with interest on both sides before making the next move? Have you noticed how a currency gets stuck in a tight range in one center and needs to see another center open up to break from that range? Well I have and can tell you the reason why.
Similar to US500, NAS100 opened higher but then settled back
.
Chart is clear: Needs to hold above 19842 to keep the risk on the record high at 20771 although 20000 is likely equally important in maintaining a bid.
Resistance starts at 20318, then 20593 ahead of the record 20771 level.
Note that CFD price feeds can differ between broker, even those using the same symbol. Ss, look at the chart pattern if the levels below do not line up with the prices on your chart.
Opened at a new record high but then backed off into a range. This leaves the new high (5773) as the key resistance level,
Using this chart, US500 maintains a bid as long as it trade above 5711.
Note that CFD price feeds can differ between broker, even those using the same symbol. Ss, look at the chart pattern if the levels below do not line up with the prices on your chart.
Still no sign of a top with another record high at 2685.
As I have been saying:
When in unchartered record territory, resistance is only a guess so use the latest record high as the only level that matters. In addition, with no real resistance, the big figure like 2700 would be a potential target/pause level.
Another way to suggest a pause would need a day without a new high.
Support is now from 2650-2670..
