I POSTED THIS IN OUR BLOG YESTERDAY AND IT TURNED OUT TO BE A TIMELY ARTICLE.

LOOKING ACROSS CURRENCIES AND OTHER MARKETS TODAY SOME WILL CALL IT A CORRECTION DAY.

i CALL IT A LIQUIDATING MARKET DAY, ONE THAT NEEDS TO BE TRADED DIFFERENTLY AS YOU WILL SEE IN THE ARTICLE.

What is a Liquidating Market and How to Trade It?

BTC 4 HOUR CHART – HAS THE AIR COME OUT OF THE BALLO0N?

As I pointed out previously, BTC was not seeing safe-haven flows despite the current geopolitical situation.

This may have been a clue that the air was coming out but looking at this chart the blue AT lines dominating showed a risk on the downside.

What amazes me about BTC is that is when a technical level or pattern holds in something that can move 7% on a Saturday.

With that said, the move below 60000 came close to a key level (see chart) which if broken would leave a void until around 50000.

This shows the importance of 60000 as a pivotal level and the key support line below it.

Balance for EurChf has adjusted to flat now so sell waves should be expected to be under normal until Israel hits.  UsdChf could hold here temporarily at 9100 which could give EurChf enough to hold.  Risk aversion is growing and so Chf itself is only a matter of time for hard downside moves once Israel hits in my view.  This includes options.

judging from say 15 min chart of dlrchf priceaction the only type cashing in is that mossad type

June Jap Yen futures have finally reached a buy point under .6550, per Option Profile, rally forthcoming

That and risk aversion finally kicking in Jay I believe.  I’m short everything vs yen again and UsdChf and EurChf and long AudCad, barely missed fill on EurCad below.  Market is speaking.

GVI, the Option Profile is a proprietary instrument owned by our small startup company.  If you go to gtwo3.com, there is some explanation  …

IMF WORLD ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
STEADY BUT SLOW: RESILIENCE AMID DIVERGENCE
APRIL 2024

… “the global view can mask stark divergence across countries. The exceptional recent performance of the United States is certainly impressive and a major driver of global growth, but it reflects strong demand factors as well, including a fiscal stance that is out of line with long-term fiscal sustainability (see April 2024 Fiscal Monitor). This raises short-term risks to the disinflation process, as well as longer-term fiscal and financial stability risks for the global economy since it risks pushing up global funding costs. Something will have to give.” …

what and when could that be ?

EURUSD 4 HOUR CHART – TRYING TO CORRECT BUT…

Looking at this chart the key level on the upside is clear at 1.0665.

Often, when in a sharp trend, there needs to be a squeeze on weak positions to run some stops )e.g. above 1.0665) before setting a fresh run at a new low or high.

This is the setup after an invisible hand held its finger in the dyke at 1.06.

Whether it materializes or not is still up in the air so just pointing out a risk.

Otherwise, the trend is still your friend.

Margin impact on the EurChf shorts is minimal so almost surely the right side.  Israel could wait for the weekend in a behind the scenes handshake deal with UK, France, US, Canada to not disturb markets and allow time for assessment before Monday but they will strike when the tactical advantage is determined.  Not today likely.
