DLRx 105.72
–
one would have to be somehow handicapped not to see the DLR romping and rampaging accorss the boad (except maybe vs the yen)
as players are likely gaming a few energy vectors:
– goodly yield spread
— eyeballing and anxiously re-pricing FED gang miscalutations about inflation bumps
— GOLD continues to look uP (i.e. good) as is energy in form of oil
some thanks has to go to wild media headlines about harsh diplomacy between Israel and Iran for at least some portion of players running into dlrs thinking “haven”.

EURUSD 1h
As you can see from the chart, we had a second leg down today, so one prolonged move.
We need to rebound to at least 1.06850 and even 1.07050 , and still will be in Down mode.
Support comes at 1.06150.
Keep in mind that it is Friday, so trading interest is fading fast.
I am going to prepare some rules and tips on how to follow my trades /ideas over this weekend.
Probably will write the whole article, so everyone can go slowly over it and be ready for things to come J

Ok I hope everyone enjoyed Monedge yesterday lol. Back to business. Could use some calls from you Bobby. I am spread in every major and a few minors,basically long dollar, could use input on levels like Jy just did, lets make sure I don’t lose money today. My first mistake was watching Christina Aguilera videos while trading, and because I literally was a fighter, a real fighter, like in the ring, I was trading and watching “Fighter” by Christina while trading and got too darn emotional lol. So sitting on multiple positions, can give levels it needed lol. Green almost across the board. Its getting easy.

GPBUSD WEEKLY – UNCHARTERED TERRITORY AS WELL
I had to go to a weekly chart to find key levels following the 1.2499 break (now resistance).
As long as it stays below 1.25, risk is down. With a void of nearby supports, look for 1.2450 to be pivotal.
Of interest, shirt JPU crosses are being unwound, which is one soiurce of USD demand oither than vs USDJOY, which is a touch lower.
FRANKFURT, April 12 (Reuters) – Economists are sticking to their view that inflation in the euro zone will fall to 2% and stay there, a European Central Bank poll showed on Friday, in comforting news as the ECB prepares to cut interest rates.
The ECB’s latest Survey of Professional Forecasters (SPF) put inflation at 2.4% this year and 2.0% in 2025, 2026 and in the longer term — unchanged from the previous round of the poll three months earlier.

I am not sure if these comments, which came out overnight, were a catalyst for the EURUSD breakdown but it bears repeating
ECB’s Stournaras says now is the time to diverge from the Fed, reiterates call for four rate cuts this year, here is a risk inflation will undershoot 2%
——————————————————
European leaders can’t decide anything without US not even do they want to keep daylight savings time or not…..same with the rates ….. it will be what Fed decide and say ECB what to do
