UsdPeso is doing the exact opposite of what the talking heads were excited about in recent days should Trump be elected. It is under pressure in tandem with some other Dollar pairs. I think we see 19.60 and perhaps 19.00. The 19.60 has much greater risk of being run to the downside. One would think after those who thought the sky would fall over tariffs/Trump are wiped out, it reverses and sees 20.00 /+ again.

She is on Bloomberg telling everyone Trump is going to de-fund science programs. Columbia is a complete liberal staffed which claimed Trump is Hitler and the economy is red hot. Elon Musk of Space X is on Trumps staff. The economy is far from red hot.
The insanity continues.
Meanwhile it appears stocks and the Dollar are settling into what they more often what they do, which is move opposite to each other. Yesterday was just a 100% display of risk on enthusiasm across the board.
Things may slowly return to normal looking forward.
USD is trading lower
Logic says and easy to say with hindsight
Trading on what Trump might do (e.g. tariffs) when he doesn’t take office for another 2 months and has yet to choose a cabinet is a bit of a stretch so a retracement should not be a surprise.

USDJPY 1 HOUR CHART – MODEST RETRACEMENT
As noted last night, Key target cited here many times is back on the table at 155.20… this is a level the BoJ should not want to see trade.
Whether a hidden hand or some verbal intervention, USDJPY has backed away from 155 but as the table below shows, it is still just a modest retracement, To suggest more than this, 153.40 would need to be taken out.
FIBOS 151.28 – 154.71
EURUSD 1 HOUR CHART – RETRACING
What caught my eye is the 1.0781 resistance a it coincides with a 38.2% retracement, which blocks the 1.0794 level.
Expect a limited upside unless 1.0800-10 is regained.
Given the straight line move down, use FIBOS as potential levels of resistance.
FIBOS 1.0937-1.0682
Is There a Chance the Fed Will Not Cut Interest Rates?
Attention will now shift to Thursday’s FOMC decision where a 25bps rate cut is widely expected. So, the surprise would be no change by the Fed, which cannot be ruled out following the resounding win by President-elect Trump.
