A look at the day ahead in U.S. and global markets from Mike Dolan
With tariff tensions easing a touch for now and price pressures coming off the boil, U.S. Treasury yields have plunged this week – defusing a tense January for bond markets and helping stocks find a foothold in the thick of a noisy earnings season.
Although they backed up a touch early Thursday, 10-year Treasury yields have sliced below 4.5% – dropping more than 10 basis points at one point on Wednesday to their lowest of the year as January ISM service sector readings showed a surprise drop in the prices paid by businesses.

Stocks gain, USD bid ahead of jobless claims, GBP lower with the BoE in vieW
Good morning USA traders, hope your day is off to a great start! Here are the top 4Â things you need to know for today’s market.
4 Things You Need to Know
European bourses at highs; US futures edge higher ahead of a slew of earnings.
USD attempts to recoup lost ground, EUR/USD back below 1.04, GBP awaits BoE.
Bonds in the red but off lows via a strong French auction & stagflationary UK data amid reports of a UK Cabinet reshuffle.
Metals trade mixed amid the Dollar but crude holds an upward bias.
EURGBP 4 HOUR CHART – MIND THE GAP

Continuing the pre-BOE rebound that started yesterday.
Entered the opening week gap, top still at .8355
.8345-55 looks like a sticky zone that includes the PIVOTAL 8350 level, which is so fat the high of the day..
Watch the cross for clues after the BOE decision.
GBPUSD 4 HOUR CHART – Waiting for the BOE

My only question is why was GBPUSD bid at this time yesterday with a rate cut looming today.
What caught my eye at this time was the Power of 50 level after a high at 1.25496, so there is a method to my madness.
Note, a clue of a vulnerable GBPUSD, as I pointed out yesterday was GBP weakness vs the EUR and JPY, evident again today.
Back to charts
Move below 1.2463 breaks the upward momentum… back above this level would put 1.25 in play again.
Below 1.2378 would shift the risk back to this week’s low.
Re the BOE, a rate cut is widely expected and will not be a surprise.
Using my planform as a HEATMAP

Dollar is trading firmerm except vs JPY… but well within this week’s wide ranges
USDJPY back above 152 after brief dip below this pivotal level
GBPUSD softer ahead of expected BOE rate cut (note GBPJPY, EURGBP)
Bond yields are higher after plunging yesterday
Stocks are trading slightly firmer
Gold has backed off from yesterday’s record 2882 high… indicator of tariff sentiment?
GVI 11:39 – donald’s use of promise to apply tariff is akin to extracting information or some action from a counterparty you promise to drill their knee or pull their fingernail(s). It is just a tool to extract action from someone. No interest in actual trade war – only to bend to one’s desired bend-angle.
It feels like markets have begun trading in anticipation of Trump’s tariffs since August. Signals are mixed (i.e. gold up, bond yields down, dollar well of its highs, stocks uncertain) as to whether Trump’s tariffs will turn out to be a Nothing Burger.
Will Trump’s Tariffs Turn into a Nothing Burger?

XRPUSD
This is my view on probable development in coming weeks.
Support at 1.90
Resistance at 3.00
In the case support holds any attacks, we are going to continue moving Up within the lower channel.
It should take 2-3 weeks of consolidation and approach to previous all time high (3.40)
If it happens like that, next target would be in 5.50 area

DAX – GER30
Hero holding Up.
Now joke aside, this is what can happen in coming days:
–         Another test of previous high and failure – simple and everyone would see it ( at least I hope you would)
–         More dangerous variant – New high ( somewhere around 21.900-22.000) and sudden sell off – this kind of development is responsible for at least 50% of clean ups of accounts – pay attention : probability that reaching new high will fuel more of Uptrend is less than 5%
–Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 95% – this is going to be the top for quite some time
Now you got an idea – control your impulses and don’t daydream.

There is also an organized crime aspect of it in that some species of deer and antelope are sacred to some types of groups of non violent people… in this specific case some (bad apples) of those non violent people are a part of an international organized crime gang/ring/network… last I read they operate in canada….. it is so extreme that they placed a price on a celebrity’s head and the threats to his life are soo extreme that he has 24/7 cover… I don’t know exactly what he did to the antelope/deer but i bet it was enough to bring down hell on him…
and by tomorrow morning Indian cops will all over GV… zup zup zup passing information on the radio all across the country… it’s like the gangs have a blood vendetta against the celebrity…
