Newsquawk.com paid for itself today reporting Waller comments vs. an illogical market reaction to them.
I have a serious question. When do Fed officials find time to work given they seem to be making speeches all the time?
Federal Reserve Board Governor Christopher Waller, New York Fed President John Williams, Fed Vice Chair for Supervision Michael Barr, Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic, Cleveland Fed chief Loretta Mester, Boston Fed chief Susan Collins and Richmond Fed boss Thomas Barkin all speak.
EURUSD 1 HOUR CHART – GUESS WHERE THE LOW HAS BEEN?
i could repeat the Power of the “50” Level and how it impacts trading sentiment.
So, guess where the EURUSD low has been so far today – you are right if you said 1.0850
By itself, it is just one indicator but you can see that it changed the early mood in this currency but nothing to get excited about in a 24 pip range.
With Gold taking a breather, the question asked in this article, which has stood the test of time ….
A look at the day ahead in U.S. and global markets from Mike Dolan
Partly due to the absence of top-tier economic news this week, world markets have found a relatively calm plateau with stocks near their latest records – and even fizzing metals prices cooling a touch.
Morning Bid: Calm markets hover near highs, metals step back
It is easy to get lulled into complacency when volatility is low and ranges are narrow. However, this is the time to raise your alert as markets can move when you least expect it as I explain in the following:
BTC 1 HOUR CHART – TAKES CENTER STAGE
While XAUUSD takes a pause, attention has shifted to BTC which has moved back above 70000.
As I have said many times, I prefer to look at what I call pivotal; levels rather than fine-tune technical chart points.
In this regard, 70000 now sets the bias with the major record high (not seen on this chart) looming at 73389.
Using chart levels, BTC maintains a bid as long as it trades above 68887 but 70000 is clearly the level that will dictate whether it makes a run at the record high.
GBPUSD 1 HOUR CHART – bID DESPITE LOOMING CPI
Logic would normally say GBP should be trading on the soft side ahead of what is forecast to be a sharp drop in CPI to be reported on Wednesday.
So far, this has not been the case but keep this in mind as the day winds on.
Meanwhile, GBPUSD is maintaining its bid while above 1.2696 with 1.2720 guarding key resistance at 1.2726. Above this level, there is a void until 1.28+
AUDUSD 30 MINUTE CHART – AMAZING TRADER (AT) TRADE ALERT
AT Alerts are built into The Amazing Trader charting algo. This is an alert playing out in real-time. (buy .66547/take profit .66711)
In this alert, with a 0.25% risK and a 1.25x reward, the target was just hit as I am typing.

China Responds
Speaking to the media on Monday, Wang Wenbin, spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, rejected the statement accusing the leaders of having a “cold war” attitude towards China. Meanwhile, the Pro-Beijing press stressed China’s rejection of the so-called “Western narrative” and warned the G-7 not to act as arbiters of global order, and not to interfere in China’s internal affairs.
THIS IS ONE OF MY MUST READ ARTICLES. WHY? BECAUSE I HAVE EXPERIENCED IT AND SWORE NEVER TO LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN.
It is often said that 95% of those trading lose money. While the actual percentage is not that high, it is a fact that the majority of forex traders lose. There may be many reasons for it but the one I see as a major one is what I call the Death Spiral.
BTC DAILY CHART – Trying to play catch-up
BTC playing some catch u.p.. as I have said many times, I look at pivotal levels, such as 60k, 65k and 70k as well as the patterns on a BTC chart more thn specific technical levels in something that can move 5-10$ in a day or even over a weekend.
So, to keep it simple, if it can stay above 65k, then 70k becomes the focus with major/record levels looming above it.
