USDX DAILY CHART – EURUSD PROXY (57.6% of the index)
Using USDX as a EURUSD proxy, 104.76 equates to eurusd 1.0800-14 support.
Note, EURUSD appears it will break a 5 day pivot around 1.0850, which is a bearish sign and contrary to what one would expect ahead of the FOMC meeting tomorow.
Read Bobby’s eqrlier posts. He summed it up well.

To the extent that worries about pricey tech stocks and rising AI capex spending were partly behind last week’s market shakeout, Microsoft’s quarterly update should prove a key moment later on Tuesday, just as the Federal Reserve’s latest policy meeting gets under way.

THIS WEEK’S MARKET-MOVING EVENTS (all days local)
US focus in the July 29 week will be narrowly fixed on two times: 14:00 ET on Wednesday when the FOMC releases its policy announcement and 8:30 ET on Friday when the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes the July employment numbers. Markets are anticipating that the FOMC statement will set the stage for a rate cut in the near future, presumably the September 17-18 meeting. For payrolls, healthy moderate growth of 180,000 is the call.
The Bank of England will announce what is expected to be a rate cut on Thursday, while the Bank of Japan is expected to hold rates steady on Wednesday but announce its reduction schedule for bond purchases. National CPI’s in Europe begin on Tuesday and will followed by Eurozone harmonised inflation data on Wednesday.
GDP’s unfold on Tuesday with first estimates for the second quarter to open with France then Germany followed by Italy and finally the Eurozone. Marginal to modest growth is generally expected.
Japanese industrial production on Wednesday is expected to fall steeply reflecting new safety test issues in the auto industry. A sleeper in the week but a report that should never be overlooked because of its policy implications is the quarterly US employment cost index on Wednesday. A sharp fall in this index, however unlikely, could raise talk for a rate cut at that afternoon’s FOMC announcement.

This Week
Aside the Summer Holidays that slowed down everything , this week’s data makes it even worse…
Drawing lines on Charts is kind of a waste of time and empty expectations.
Being exclusively a Technical Trader, this is Hell for me….
It is difficult for me to explain it fully, but those of you who are long in this know – way how market moves ( or not move for that matter) is just wrong….Bars on smaller time frames are way too small, so even when right you won’t make much…but if they come for your stop it can be doubled…just like that…
Market is very light and all eyes are now locked on the Data.
EURUSD DAILY CHART – WAITING FOR THE FOMC
Having paused above 1.08 yesterday EURUSD has bounced but would need to trade at 1.0850 to extend a 5-day pattern where this level has traded.
Whatever the case, logic says the dollar should have a limited upside once the focus shifts to Wednesday’s FOMC meeting but first has to get past the BOJ decision.
For day traders, little to go for unless either side of 1.08 or 1.0871 is taken out.
Otherwise, watch to see if 1.0850 can trade.
WASHINGTON, July 29 (Reuters) – The Federal Reserve is expected to hold interest rates steady at a two-day policy meeting this week but open the door to interest rate cuts as soon as September by acknowledging inflation has edged nearer to the U.S. central bank’s 2% target.
Fed likely to hold rates steady one last time as inflation fight finale unfolds
USDCAD WEEKLY CHART – NEW 2024 HIGH
Having traded to a new 2024 high (1.38653, I went to a weekly chart to fimd
1.3896 – 2023 high
1.3977 = 2022 high
as the next key levels on the upside.
For day traders, 1.3850 will likely set its tone with support on deep dips as long as it trades above 1.38 but no stops left unless a new high is made..
Next key even is the US FOMC deision on Wednesday.
