USDJPY 1 HOUR CHART – TESTING UPSIDE BUT…

Having held above 152 on Friday USDJPY has bounced to start the week,
One hour chart showing a risk to the upside that would need to take out 154.13 to expose the post-US election high at 154.71, g or this will be just a swing within the range.
Note, 153.98 is the remaining FIBO (78.6% of 154.71-151.28) , suggesting 154 may be pivotal.
On the downside, use short-term charts if looking for support with more meaningful levels not until the 152s.
EURUSD WEEKLY CHART – EXTENDS LOW

As posted in our Weekly FX Chart Outlook
Most at risk is EURUSD, which found support below 1.06 on 2 days but failure to hold 1.08+ on the retracement keeps a risk on 1.0665 and 1.0600 should the 1.0682 be broken.
Extend low, pause so far just above 1.0665 (low 1.0668)
For the week ahead it is like digging out after what was not a normal trading week. So, use last week’s low/high as broad ranges (see below) that either have to narrow unless the USD highs are taken out.

THIS WEEK’S MARKET-MOVING EVENTS (all days local)
The week ahead brings key economic data, highlighting inflation pressures and growth challenges. In Germany, October CPI is expected to rise 0.4% monthly and 2.0% annually, while the UK labor market may see unemployment edge up to 4.1%. US inflation remains a focus, with forecasts for October showing a 0.2% rise in headline CPI and 0.3% in core, pushing annual CPI up to 2.6%. Japan’s producer inflation may reach 3.0%, driven by energy costs amid geopolitical tensions.
Growth remains sluggish in Japan and the UK. Japan’s Q3 GDP is forecast to increase just 0.2%, a sharp slowdown due to weak consumer spending and business investment. The UK is also expected to post modest Q3 growth of 0.2%.
In the US, retail sales for October could see a boost from hurricane recovery and Amazon’s Prime Day event, with strong demand for vehicles and household goods. This week’s data will provide key insights into inflation trends, growth momentum, and consumer behavior across major economies.

China-related assets slide as MOFCOM disappoints
Good morning USA traders, hope your day is off to a great start! Here are the top 4 things you need to know for today’s market.
4 Things You Need to Know
European bourses are entirely in the red, with sentiment hit after China’s NPC press conference disappointed markets; US futures remain flat.
DXY is slightly firmer, with the JPY strong whilst the Antipodeans lag given the lack of fresh stimulus measures from China.
Bonds are on a firmer footing, with modest outperformance in Gilts and as USTs await Fed speak from Bowman & Musalem.
Crude oil, XAU and base metals are all on the backfoot, following the underwhelming Chinese NPC press conference.
Markets often assume the worst and then take a breath to assess the situation. This appears to be the case with the Trump Trade, where bond yields have backed off, the dollar has given back some of its post-election gains and today stocks finally seem to be taking a breather.
I posted this last night for US500
Are stocks the outlier in the Trump Trade as they continue to rise while the other components retrace some of the post-election moves?

EURUSD 1 HOUR CHART – KEEP IT SIMPLE

To keep it simple, 1.08 is the buy/sell; bias indicator that will dictate whether the retracement has legs or the downside stays at risk.
To negate this retracement attempt and shift the focus back to the lows, 1.0746 would need to be broken.
On the upside, a move above the 61,8% level (1.0840) would be needed to shift the focus back to 1.09
Note the 2 blue Amazing Trader lines drawn off 1.0824, which indicated a change in the directional risk (back to the downside) has so far paused above 1.0746.
Current intra-day range 1.0760-90, too tight to last.
