As I noted, Trading in the New Trump Effect Era: Actions Speak Louder Than Words.
Well, President Trump is never at a loss for words as he has followed through on his campaign promise to impose tariffs.
However, these are still just words until tariffs are actually enacted.
Should Traders Take President Trump at His Word?
Many have seen me say when there is a geopolitical event or crisis, markets tend to price in the worst-case outcome and reassess later. The Trump tariff soap opera feels like a combination of the two (geopolitical event/crisis)..
After President Trump took office markets started to price in the worst-case impact of tariffs (e.g. inflation/higher bond yields/trade war, etc).
EURUSD, for example, set its low at 1.01777 on January 13 and one month later it has had an erratic recovery that has 1.05 on its radar, helped by hope for an end to the Ukraine war.
My point is if you take a step back after the frenetic headline driven whipsaw trading seen each day this week, there is some logic to the price action. The worst-case outcome does not appear will materialize
As you can see in forex, equities and bonds, markets have adjusted accordingly to reality. At a minimum, a two-way risk has been restored to what looked like might become a one-way street.
ETHUSD – Ethereum
This coin behaved perfectly technical so far – after very sharp drop of almost 50% it bounced strongly of the long term support line .
Pattern still suggests more downward pressure and tests of the supports, but as long as 2.190 holds on there is a good probability of renewed Up trend.
I would like to warn you all that time wise it might take another month, unless some news/data sparks immediate interest.
