EURUSD 4h
1.08200 proved to be a strong Resistance yesterday.
Hence: Close tonight below 1.08000 ( preferably below 1.08900) would be Bearish for tomorrow.
EURUSD Opened just below 1.08000
And that was a typical “Retest” and not re test – English and literature 101 has no place in Trading.
Resistances: 1.07800, 1.08000 & 1.08200
Supports: 1.07600, 1.07450 & 1.07300

Economists polled by Dow Jones see the headline PCE price index reading rising 0.3% in February and 2.5% from 12 months earlier.”

Carney says Canada cannot rely on U.S. any longer and must achieve ‘economic autonomy’
such as thusly:
““Over the coming weeks, months, and years, we must fundamentally reimagine our economy,” Mr. Carney said. “We will need to ensure Canada can succeed in a drastically different world. The old relationship we had with the U.S. based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military co-operation is over.”

we will … blablabla … roar
Dora 7:04 .. retest … under my skin …
the ying yang about whichever s result of a “retest” is that it is game between buyers and sellrs and the chipping away at them and their respective reasons for flushout as multiple returns are a manifestations of new oand/or additional players.
I suggest that the gaming in FX is not subject to the traditional buy low sell high theories seen in stocks.
One can see market commentary here on g-v about something called “sustained” but without numerical value mentioned. For that, I suggest to study the meaning of “wick”s or “tail”s on a time bar – not to minimize the shape of the candle’s body – and see if that can help trade with bit more confidence.
GME – GameStop Corp.
GameStop Just Went Full Crypto–And Wall Street Is Panicking
GameStop GME just dropped a bombshell and investors are reeling. The company announced it’s ditching more of its retail footprint and diving headfirst into Bitcoin (BTC-USD), raising $1.3 billion via zero-coupon convertible bonds to buy the cryptocurrency as a treasury reserve asset. Shares initially surged 14% on the buzz, but that excitement didn’t last long. Within 24 hours, the stock nosedived nearly 25% at 2.07pm, giving back all its gains and then some. While retail traders lit up the meme-stock boards, analysts were quick to question whether this pivot is a bold reinvention or a desperate roll of the dice.
Let’s not sugar-coat it: GameStop’s core business is bleeding. Sales fell 28% year-over-year, and it’s closed a quarter of its stores in the past year. Management says the Bitcoin move is about optimizing returns and staying liquid, but the timing raised eyebrows. Crypto markets have already surged 27% since November so why now? Strategy MSTR pulled off a similar playbook in 2020 and saw its stock skyrocket, but it’s sitting on a massive Bitcoin stash and trades at a tighter premium. GameStop? Not quite the same setup, and investors know it.
Where is Roaring Kitty now…meow meow 😀

USDJPY DAILY – Key resistance cited

Chart: Positive but faces a key resistance at 151.30, which stays at risk while above 150.50-60.
Note weak JPY crosses (e.g. firmer GBPJPY) adding to USDJPY demand’
I have not seen any specific news to account for the weaker JPY, which reminded me that March 31 is Japanese fiscal yearend.
I remember when this was a key time for FX and stocks but have not heard much talk about it in recent years. So, no clue whether this has been a factor but something to keep an eye on once March 31 passes.
