LONDON (Reuters) – A look at the day ahead in U.S. and global markets by Alun John, EMEA breaking news correspondent, finance and markets.
Investors fled from stocks and rushed to dollars in Monday trading in Europe and Asia, as they scrambled to process the consequences of President Donald Trump putting larger-than-expected tariffs on top U.S. trading partners.
Welcome to Febryary Traders, we all saw the loop (big leap) in the markets across all currency pairs. Market is gonna be very volatile this week, remember it’s Non Farm Payroll (NFP) week. This is 12noon and all currencies are moving in different directions but USD/CAD catches my eye.
This currency closed last weelk at 1.4555, and opened very high this week, there is a big jump on the chart to price 1.4702, from where it climbed (bullish trend) to an all high price of 1.4792 before its sudden decline to price 1.4666. I see a further decline (sell) in price, which is to cover the gap it created. Again from my price action knowledge, the last 2 hourly candles that closed on the CAD pairs are sell candles, signalling a further decline in price.
I see price falling to the price area of 1.4555 at least. Today is Monday and we should take things very slow. Market is just returning from a break and it is not yet at full capacity so don’t over Leverage your Account. Risking 2-5% of your Account is ideal to secure your capital.
please …. please me !

Big gap down puts 1.0177 back on the radar… if firmly broken, then there will be calls for parity although a pivotal 1.02 may be equally important in this regard.
Watch the headlines as this is news, not technically driven. Stay aware that Trump could announce EIU tariffs at any time, which should act as a cloud over the EUR. At a minimum, expect a limit on its upside as long as the opening week gap stays unfilled. ..
