NAS100 4 HOUR – Benign neglect

The lack of concern by Trump &Co. over what they call short-term pain has helped fuel an already shaky market over the ledge.
On the downside, see the chart for key support levels (18294, 17235, 16958) but more important is there should be offers lying in wait on any decent bounce
This article is worth a read as it describes today’s price moves with insights you will likely not find elsewhere

Just amusing of a stupid old fool I just wonder whether we could see 143 by the end of the week clearly once the US market closed and the Asian market opened last night we had a trend day which you have frequently described as being a liquidation day
Should we get 143? It would obviously be an access move on one could play a contra trade.
Depending on the speed that it gets there
Mtl – all that is fine, but there are two very important facts to think about:
– Is EU really strong enough to play the game ( I don’t think so)
– Trump said several times very clearly : we are not going to let those leaches suck our wealth through fixed currency rates – in my personal translation – Weak Dollar
So we either wait and see or someone teaches Trump the lingua of markets
I added an addendum to this article after the reversal in XAUUSD made it a victim of collateral damage…
Bobby / the current market bias is UP for the euro which is UP vs the dlr a tad over 2%
solid sub-1.0950 would likely be needed to tame current bias.
sofar, maybe notably, european suits have not launched counterattack tariffs blabbing that they are open to negotiations. Saw a headline that EUs trade ministers to be meeting next week. Players apper to have reprice ECB rate expectations somewhat all the while gumflapping from policymakers appear to try to remain cautious about rates in the s/term at least
EURUSD Weekly
Now this is going to give us some real perspective on future moves..
1.12950 is again ( same as on daily) a very important level and in my opinion that one will be the answer to “ are we going to 1.17850 and even 1.21450” or we going to hit the wall at 1.13 area and go back to the Downtrend.
What I don’t like is today’s rally – too much , too fast – and usually it happens as a blow of rally…but taking into account reasons behind the move, and Formation that is becoming clear we are on the road to much higher levels.

EURUSD Daily
340 pips Rally – nice, but is it sustainable or we can see next move in opposite direction and with the same force?
Here comes the Daily chart

First support is at 1.09550, followed by 1.09250 & 1.08850
Resistances are at: 1.11450, 1.12150 & 1.12950
1.12950/1.13 is what we have to glue our eyes at.
heading into NY session
USD is on back foot.
10-yr 4.059.
one could argue significantly. circa 3% vs euro. copper is down as is oil. one could read opposite meanings from copper and from oil, but also same ideas about slowing economy prospects.
