ECB on Thursday with its policy decision.
Odds are HIGH that lagarde and her gang will NOT do anything.
May not as high as this weeks odds but odds of a pre-June cut are also high.
gaming ECB is like a kitten playing with a teenage mouse (ie not a life/death situation)
BTC 4 HOUR CHART – DOES B STAND FOR BUBBLE? IT IS TOO SOON TO SAY THAT.
As I have been saying it is hard to trust technical levels to be exact *(although they are clear on this chart) so I prefer to look at 60000-65000-70000
Currently, it is testing sub-65000 but would need to decisively break below 60000 to suggest air is really leaking from a bubble.
JP re CHF (thanks for asking) I think in the short term against the usd it’s closer to the end than the beginning, as in 9150-9250 should see it run out of gas to some degree. Longer term (months) I have no problem with seeing it back to 1.0000 ish.
I see a smoother path forward for a weaker CHF against the crosses.
The thing that may potentially slow its weakness is some are saying we should be enetering a period of high volatility over the next 1-2 months which maybe could see some safe haven flows into the CHF.
I’m not a huge fan of posting trades after the fact (I’ve been outside busy lately) but last week I switched out of short chf positions and am currently only short eur/usd. Reason being thinking being closer to the end than the beginning (short term) maybe its a prudent risk reward move…. Maybe…
