refering to my earlier bias around 9100 priceline
9074 is a good start for now.

lets see how puppy bounces hence, trgt remains as long as possie is alive

On UsdChf the only real barriers to the market possibly finding value toward 9000 re at 9065, 9040, and 9020 or so.  Decent template for ones individual risk tolerance or goals.

Like the short as well around here 9105 JP, UsdChf…regarding Summers, he is both highly intelligent but also quite tethered to his opinions even when others disagree.  I think the sudden employ shock is a bad recipe though, surely there can be other ways to tame inflation, taming debt might be one little idea.

USDJPY DAILY CHART… IF I WAS THE BoJ…

Break of 152.99 has not gone far and this suggests the 153 level will be pivotal.

Now I have been writing about the BoJ looking at the same technicals as we do. In this regard, it would ideally like to see USDJPY get to 150,24, (I am using a daily chart to show what supports lie below)…but

I am not in the BoJ’s shoes but I would be wary of going to the well too often and leave the threat of another surprise attack to keep USDJPY below 155.

With all that said, this is a Friday and this often sees one-way markets as the week draws to a close. Much depends on US data but that is for a discussion later on.

The fundamentals suggest inflation should still be headed down, but the Fed isn’t betting on that.

Fed Chair Projects Optimism, But Inflation Data Are in the Driver’s Seat

I do agree that the FED is watching job , I do not agree that “it” (the FED or Job Market ?) is difficult to read.

The Fed Is Eyeing the Job Market, but It’s Difficult to Read
Fed officials are watching labor trends as they contemplate when to cut rates. But different measures are telling different stories – By Jeanna Smialek in NYT

The different this and different that is they are only tryinng to confuse and beduffle the trading peasant and to keep the FED obscure.

Trade Call
DLRCHF 09100
–
take short on dreak down of .9100 price line
target .90 / .8990
Stop Loss: according to own risk tolerence paras; one could concider N of 9120 depending on “energy” of the pop

the additional potential negative is that this trade would be a negative carry.

BTC Daily

Oh my, oh my….do we have some natural channels on BTC – I wasn’t expecting this.

55.700 – if it proves a real support, I will start believing that BTC might become a real currency after all…

Even if it breaks….as long as it stays within the parameters.

This is the reason for me to place it on my Daily watch list.

I’m out flat now with the Gbp purchase at 2525.  May reverse, looking for long positions that stick going forward a week or so (cycle)

with reference to my earlier post about H&S shoulder:
good start

[michael Calif]

For us, the daily big picture is what moves markets .. Option Profile is firmly long Euro futures; prices should move higher until that dynamic changes

[SF Monedge]

Looks like Gbp stalls here around 2525 and head back toward 2500 for now.
