Re the US jobs report, some way it doesn’t matter much this time around but those who trade know it always matters in terms of a reaction.
This time,, a miss on the downsaide would seem to generate the strongest reaction given concerns over the economy.although it could be explained away by distortions from severe winter storms.
If what I heard is accurate, a stronger report would not necesssarily spell relief with the impact of DOGE job cuts yet to be reflected in the data and tarrifs hanging over the economy as a cloud.
1.08550 taken out – if it closes this week above it, road is open for test of long time resistance trendline at 1.11800
That much on the big picture, so let’s now concentrate on trading possibilities intraday.
In a bit over 2.5h data are coming, and in mean time this is what we have:
Resistances: 1.08750, 1.09000 & 1.09500
Supports: 1.08450, 1.08200 & 1.07750
I expect pull backs from here, and waiting for a chance to get Long – either on approach to 1.08200 or Pattern creation after some consolidation ( in case it goes sideways and never reach it)
The huge increase in EU defense spending coupled with The US tariffs may be changing the dynamics of the FX market from a responsive sell high buy low market to a trending market within a bigger neutral range.
If this is so then the extent of trend may surprise the complacent.
Trump again flooding the hedlines. On tariffs, actions will s[peak louder than threats and words but in the meantime will remain a cloud over an uncertain outlook.
