HOW WRONG is Justin Lahart ?

Kamala Harris Wants to Ban Price Gouging. What Do Economists Say? The line between gouging and normal market forces can be pretty thin. And stopping it is no easy feat either. – By Justin Lahart in WSJ

Lets see…
Price gouging solves itself when 1) the first gouger runs out of supply and when “me too” opportunists arrive with new supply.

2) price gouging, in its pure certified form, gets solved when the gouger gets either shot by pissed gougee or by govt price-control enforcement forces.

USDJPY 4 HOUR CHART – 145!!

Support at 145.18 is this week’s low but 145 is perhaps more important as only 144.03 lies below ahead of the 141.68 low.

No key resistance levels until much higher so use 145.50-80 as an initial band.

EURUSD leading (res 1.1135-50) while GBPUSD lagging after early run through stops and then quick retreat?

Why?

Look at a EURGBP chart

TRADER ALERT

A downward revision of 1 million jobs would reduce employment creation to 1.6 million jobs for the year, from 2.6 million, said Marc Chandler, chief market strategist at Bannockburn Global Forex in New York.

“That’s why I think that the market is still pricing in about a 25% chance of a 50-basis-point cut in September,” Chandler said. “People thought the Fed was behind the curve in raising rates, and now many people think the Fed is behind the curve in cutting rates.”

Here is one of my “rules” when discussing The Amazing Trader.

Don’t guess at a top or bottom until there is a reason (i.e. AT tells you) to do so.

See my earlier post… there was a setup that was never confirmed (EURUSD hekd 1.11)

GBPUSD 15 MINUTE CHGART – STOP HUNT

One oif my favorite sayings is…

The forex market lives to run stops.

Look at this GBPUSD chart to see what I mean.

Note the break of 1.3044 tested the “:50” level.

Only back below 1,30 would ease the risk though.

could be , could be not

ahhh … the fear of getting clobbered and eaten by nigel jubbs
the uncertainty of the strenght and ferociousness of the bulls’ mood of some trying to p!ss on their parade
by trying a short for under 1.11

hahahahahaha

Could be that the USD lows are in for today… have to watch charts to see if AT confirms and if EURUSD goes back below 1.11 (last 1.1105).

Yesterday I posted (factually per Reuters) that hundreds of millions of individual social security and sensitive data had been hacked and sold on the black market in the dark web in recent weeks.  Almost a billion actually.  The place to go to see if your data has indeed been hacked and sold is https://npd.pentester.com/.

UPDATE: USD EXTENDING LOWS (EXCEPT USDCAD)

EURUSD trying to establish 1.1100+ for a run at 1,1135-60 after downside pause above 1.1092.

USDJPY breaking its overnight 145,84 low, 145.18 was Monday’s low. exposed if break holds. Equities opening a touch lower.

GBPUSD 1.3044 high still looms above

(IF)  UsdJpy is to stall on the sell side today it would be around 145.60, if not then 145.20/30 area and you could hit a home run on a retrace.  The bias is short so it’s a technical risk play.

I could say something egomaniacal like “Euro is now officially a sell” but that would be an absurdly arrogant means of verbiage.  I wonder how many of them said something almost verbatim this morning in other forums.  When a CTA, I learned to be more realistic and responsible than that with one’s language.

[SF Monedge]

There is zero reason to be long UsdJpy today unless some unusual dominant fundamental or market activity condition suddenly arises.  Eu metrics are dominant on the buy side in some metrics but there is clear positioning in other metrics on outside months which shows sell side interest building so current levels are producing a pivot level as I type.  When this happens usually a sustained shift takes place lasting for one week minimum.

Bloomberg – Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Wells Fargo & Co. economists expect the government’s preliminary benchmark revisions on Wednesday to show payrolls growth in the year through March was at least 600,000 weaker than currently estimated — about 50,000 a month.

Has the FED has become a veiled political arm and not a FED?  Many are more than satisfied that is the case.  Regardless, the hidden figures alters the interest rate outlook and the presents the likelihood they are behind the curve in reducing rates which ultimately will cause highly chaotic economic results for quite some time.
