XAUUSD – Gold

Supports : 2380.00 & 2370.00

Resistance : 2405.00 , 2425.00 & 2435.00

Look at the chart : if it closes this bar ( 55 min) below 2390.00 , we’ll see the test of that support line below 2370/2380

But if it closes above 2395.00 we’ll be shooting for 2425.00

USDJPY Daily

142.050 Support

148.050 Resistance

I would expect some calming in coming few days – if so, this might be the perfect pocket for trades…

US Kirby… closest we have ever been to a Hamas-Israel ceasefire

[SF Monedge]

If the put/call ratio in US stocks hit 91 again the math favors selling.  One metric I am watching.  It should coincide with another disgusting-mentally ill Olympic opening ceremony type event out of France.

[SF Monedge]

I will likely be on the sell side of US stocks tomorrow or the next day.

[GVI Forex 2]

Risk on start in the US…focus on stocks…FX in the background… but USDJPY is not correlating

[SF Monedge]

I like the sell side of New Zealand around 6420, goes with the dominant flow.  Would require this overnight buying to start a new dominant buy cycle against Dollar so the sell is worth exploring on a decent probabilities fashion.  Some internal metrics support.

[SF Monedge]

Buy side of UsdCad looks to have decent R/R approaching 3720/30.  It is entering a value where it either goes on a tangent to the downside from there or holds and continues the more dominant bias.

[SF Monedge]

Buy side of UsdJpy and UsdMxn are treating me decently this morning.  Right here is decent if you missed entry, albeit a bit on the dicey side because price is precisely in the middle of what I perceive as exhaustion areas.  You either get it perfectly or the market has other ideas and soon.

JP, no need to think about the 1/3 but question is whether the carry trade is dead for now.

[Mtl JP]

ahhh yes … that “imminent” retaliation

(Bloomberg) — Oil rallied as markets globally recovered from a recent rout and investors remained on edge over the possibility of a retaliatory strike from Iran on Israel. … /.

– Some ccies over 1% gain moves on the usd
– On the other hand : yen, chf : down, good hits
Stock looking to open uP

Odds of DLR gaining – 104 a sell if seen ? – continue to be iffy in my optique
I agree with those who suggest the carry trades cleaning is not complete

US500 4 HOUR CHART

While the carry trade/recession fear sell-off seems done for now, this CFD feed needs to take out 5310 to suggest more legs to the upside.

In any case, there should be support on any decent dip today should one occur.

How do we know that cross flows are driving the market?

When two currencies move in opposite directions you can assume there are real money cross flows

Look at USDJPY and USDCHF (both up sharply) vs firmer commodity currencies and GBP is up as well.

XAUUSD 4 HOUR CHART

Having failed to test 2353, XAUUSD has bounced along with others that sold off on the carry trade unwind.

Resistance is at 2417,  2400 stands in the way.

Will find a boid if it stays above 2378.

From the Morning Bid report

At the heart of the problem over the past week was that the BoJ move seemed to puncture an estimated half trillion dollar yen-funded currency ‘carry trade’, catapulting the currency higher in the process. About two-thirds of those short yen positions may have already been unwound, according to estimates by JPMorgan.

A look at the day ahead in U.S. and global markets from Mike Dolan

In an extraordinary round trip over the past week, world markets have rebounded sharply from days of turbulence – thanks in part to Bank of Japan almost apologising on Wednesday for its role in the ruckus – and traders now try to figure out what’s next.

EURUSD 4h

Supports : 1.09050 , 1.08850 & 1.08650

Resistance : 1.09250 , 1.09350 & 1.09600

Last 24h EURUSD is biding its time in some kind of a sideways correction.

Needs to go above 1.09350 to renew the pressure to Up.

Pattern wise – it is in the middle of nowhere…

Time wise – it should move in next 2 h.

[GVI Forex 2]

USDCAD 4 HOUR CHART – testing support

As noted, commodity currencies benefiting from a bounce in risk and end, for now, to the carry trade unwind.

As this chart shows, USDCAD has layers of support (tested 1.3743) but is on the defensive as long as it trades below 1.3787/90/1.38

If it trades 1,37-1.38, then keep an eye on 1.3750 to set its tone.

[GVI Forex 2]

USDJPY 4 HOUR CHART – 150?

The old trading adage that what matters is the reaction to news more than the news itself was evident today in the reaction to the BOJ Deputy Governor’s comments (scroll below). It is a form of verbal intervention without even having to mention the currency market.

Scoll below for FIBO levels.

On the upside, 148 is one of those pivotal levels, high today 147.89. Above 148 would put 150 back on the radar.

On the downside, expect support as long as it trades above 146.35

Note, whenever you see a sharp move in USDJPY, look at other currencies as there is usually an offset (see prior post)

[GVI Forex 2]

AUDJJPY 4 HOUR CHART – On the rebound

As I have been noting, with JPY carry trade unwinds appearing to be over for now and the deck cleared of JPY buy stops, the mood in markets has changed.

This has seen JPY give back some ground, especially vs. the commodity currencies.,

This has  lifted AUDUSD as AUDJPY recovers although NZDJPY is the outperformer today.

As this chart shows, key level is not until 98.72, a break would confirm the low is in.

In any case, expect support on dips as long as above 95.49
