Powell is doing a better job today, especially in fending off political hype mongers, including the genius from Georgia who tried to link FED policy with racial matters.  He noted intent and attention to the development of a Stablecoin, which will inevitably bury meme crypto “currencies.”  They are not currencies.  He also clearly noted the recent US fiscal policies are not sustainable.  This certainly reinforces the idea of a September rate cut of 0.25%.

Powell: US fiscal policy is unustainable

The old adage: Duh! It’s the reaction to news that matters applies to the GBP pop on Pill’s comments.

1.2846 is this week’s high. 1.2860 is key chart resistance.

If the Sterling jump is going to run out of steam it should be right here around 2840/50.  Metrics noted earlier held weight today.

[SF Monedge]

Bitcoin should target 60000 from 58000 today/tomorrow in my metrics.

GBPUSD spikes higher on BOE Pill’s comments… he sounded cautious over an August rate cut but didn’t  give any clear signal…thin market reaction but a reaction nonetheless

[SF Monedge]

Swiss Franc futures should bounce around 1212 this morning and so Usd/Chf should do the reverse from 8990ish if the current metrics stick.

[SF Monedge]

Euro metrics do not have the same robustness this morning as Sterling, they are a mix with a slight bid climate, so it could easily retain the existing overall sell cycle, which remains intact to this point today.

EURUSD 4H

Supports at : 1.08150/200 , 1.08050 & 1.07950

Resistances at : 1.08300 , 1.08450/500 & 1.08750

Lame and slow – can turn either way from here.

We need some incentive for this pair to get a life back….

23.5 hours uniil US CPI when billions will trade on a fraction if a miss vs. the consensus, even if it is just the result of rounding up or down.

Internals showing AudJpy wants to go over the figure, time will tell.  Interestingly the sell cycle in Sterling remains intact but internals are a scorching bid, so either Sterling breaks uphill strongly today or tomorrow and establishes a new buy cycle with higher full figure prints targeting 2900 + or continues to decline toward 2780.  Perhaps consider the offer around 2900/10.

A look at the day ahead in U.S. and global markets from Mike Dolan

Even if U.S. inflation remains too irksome for the Federal Reserve to sound the all clear, there’s much less trepidation overseas.

Fed chair Jerome Powell gave little away in Tuesday’s congressional testimony, remaining coy about the timing of a first interest rate cut as the price picture remains murky but also doffing his cap to a softening jobs market.

Morning Bid: Calm markets as China skirts deflation, NZ doves coo

[GVI Forex 2]

No change to what I posted late yesterday

Let’s see what logic says

If you are short USD you probably would look to hang on until the US CPI report on Thursday, hoping for a surprise on the downside.

[GVI Forex 2]

Calm before the next storm day (US CPI on Thursday).

USDJPY 4 HOUR CHART – 162 LOOMS

Look at how the red Amazing Trader lines are dominating as USDJPY enters the 161.50-162.00 nervous zone.

If I was the BoJ I would hope to see a downward surprise to US CPI tomorrow to give USDJPY some breathing room.

Otherwise, 161.50 is clearly pivotal as above it puts 162 in play.

Key level on the downside is at 160.50

Question going forward is whether there is a line in the sand level for the BoJ.
