BTC 4-HOUR CHart

Let’s look at BTC as it trades over the weekend.

The consolidation range is clear as shown on the chart

70000 continues to be a focal point and will ultimately set the tone with its record high looming above.

Below 68335 would be needed to postpone the risk.

Re TFT and others like it – Had a millennial friend who treated it like a video game.  Can’t trade but thinks he can, bitcoin will erase the US Dollar by end of 2030, little ears for professionals who have been around a while, won’t shut up about it.  Message to novices out there…this isn’t a game.  Use your head a bit better and it might turn out ok.

Another Prop Firm Collapse! – The Funded Trader Shuts Down.

Rumors have been swirling through the prop industry for weeks the TFT has been in trouble. N ow it seems that another one has shut down.

See this video explaining the situation and more from Lux Trading Firm (if the video shuts off because of the forum refresh, click on it again and move the video to the spot you left off). It is worth viewing.

XAUUSD 4 HOUR CHART – New record high

XAUUSD is now trading uncharted territory where there is a void on the upside. This makes the most recent high the closest key resistance.

On the downside, expect support as long as 2200 holds, stronger if 2222 becomes support.

USDJPY 4 hour chart – Intervention of not?

Range is very clear 151.00-151.97 but next week is a new ball game.

There seems no compelling reason to intervene as verbal intervention has so far cooled threat but noit negated the threat to 152 and higher.

If they are serious about squeezing the USDJPY longs, then breaks of 151.00/0/trendline/150.26 (and 150.00) would be needed.

WASHINGTON, March 29 (Reuters) – The latest U.S. inflation data is “along the lines of what we would like to see,” Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said on Friday in comments that appeared to keep the central bank’s baseline for interest rate cuts this year intact.

US February inflation data ‘along the lines’ of what Fed wants, Powell says

[SF Monedge]

My belief is the data supports the Fed sitting tight where they are on rates still.  And so depending on what transpires over the next 60 days they may not cut in June.

[GVI Forex]

No surprises in PCE data. USD moves down a touch, little incentive to push too hard but be wary, the market is not liquid.

3 hours until Powell. Most will pack it in after the data.

EURUSD 4h

Make your own conclusions, but if it stays another 15 min above 1.07900…it will try Up

[Belgrade Knez]

I have a feeling that market is going to react for 5min to the red data release and that’s it for the day ….. which way? seems depend on the news outcome

JP, I was referring to the data, not Fedspeak.

I doubt if he would change his tune but it would be a surporise.

[Belgrade Knez]

spreads are way to high at the moment …. waiting for NYO to get some volume in and spread to get to normal so can make some profit

For anyone looking to trade in a holiday thinned market the wait is on for the Fed’s favored n indicator – core PCE

Consensus is

0.3% m/m vs 0.4% in Feb
2.8% y/y vs 2.8% in Feb

Market will react to a surprise

Those still trading would normally pack it in after the data but Powell speaks 3 hours later.
