For UsdCad with the BoC announcement today, if 3535 survives it likely tests the highs of 3605. If it fails to accelerate there then we should see 3500.
GV – No way I am on the buy side of UsdJpy, even if it takes off uphill, with the BoJ lurking. For me, its sell buy waves and deploy resting/trailing sell stop entries.
Powell: With market expectations now aligned with Fed’s 3 rate cuts the general feeling is that Powell will be content with what financial markets currently expect and that will not want to rock the boat.
As always markets move in a surprise of look to spin an event to fit its view.
Entertaining the sell side of GBPUSD from 2727 and EURUSD m from 0877. Do not see either pair accelerating substantially from here headed into NY with Fed speak on tap. Could be a stale day pre-Fed speak.
according to jeff cox:
* Fed Chair Jerome Powell heads to Capitol Hill on Wednesday with markets intent on getting more clarity about how the central bankf plans on proceeding with monetary policy this year.
* Central to the question of how the Fed acts from here on out is its view on inflation and how Powell expresses that.
* Powell’s testimony before Congress comes at a ticklish time for markets: After breaching historic highs, major stock averages have sold off this week.
