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.
Next economic data focus is on JOLTS job openings in about an hour
US 10-year tested 4.40% (last 4.389%)
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…

Mind you, all time High of Modern times is at 160.360
It is becoming kind of hilarious….a Small correction is like 1000 pips lower, and a decent one…well…how about 2.500 pips .
Trading it on anything bigger than half an hour chart takes some Cojones 😀

EURUSD 15 MIN CHART
It is only a 20 pip range so far, too tight to last. Price action is typical for the start of a quarter, especially this one after a 4 day weekend, as the market re-liquifies.
As the chart shows, 2 red AT lines drawn off the low indicate a shift in risk to the upside that has seen a move up but faces resistance at 1.0744.
Not seen on this chart, the gap in price after the ISM report yesterday is to 1.0772. The key target on the downside remains at 1.0694.
Note while steadying vs the dollar, EUR is trading soft on some of its crosses (e.g. eurgbp, eurcad)
It feels more like the start of a new year than the start of the second quarter.
The key focus will be on US data and how the bond market reacts.
Powell speaks tomorrow.
USDJPY remains in a 151-152 range, betterment bid in the upper half. I read that any intervention should it occur would target a 5 yen drop. I also read that the effects of intervention would be short-lived.
EURUSD stays soft but tight range, suggests a cautious approach awaiting key data from mid-week on
