Dissecting the moves in EURUSD - 'RARE' 1HR CHART
Aktualisiert
We are going to dissect the moves we traded live in the Telegram and Tradingview chats using EURUSD this week. So let's get started from the beginning …
On Monday those following were notified to start working longs, positioning for a short swing move towards 1.13.
After failing to clear the middle of the range on Tuesday NY session meant and with the main drivers of the week still to come it was a sending early hints for a good opportunity to do some profit taking ahead of Fed.
On Wednesday a rather dovish Fed via inflation triggered the second wave in our flows which lasted till NFP. A retrace all the way back to the bottom of the range right on time for clearing the EZ inflation and NFP double.
Both macro prints came in with my expectations. For those following the daily updates sent you will already know, the expectation was for overshoots on European Inflation (remember we had issued early confirmation on Tuesday) and a slight miss on wage expectations for NFP. This would allow EURUSD to finish the week on a positive note. After ticking both of these boxes it should be sending loud alarms that it’s time to start working longs again from the bottom of the range.
Now it is exactly the same as before .. taking some chips off the table in the middle of our range and leaving the rest for the home-run at 1.13 to complete the ABC sequence.
For those wanting to recap on the macro and foreign policy drivers
Europe is not out of the woods yet … Growth rising via domestic demand. Unemployment falling to new cycle lows. However, PMIs and Germany Ifo readings have not given the rebound I was expecting. A dovish ECB opened the window for further easing via tiering systems yet overshoots on the inflation front on Friday will be enough to take it completely off the table.
US growth beating expectations via increasing inventories looks unsustainable and a reversion is highly likely. Macro data prints are still implying the US remains in good shape and it’s too early to talk about recessions being imminent although capital inflows are starting to dry up and we will mark the turn in the cycle this Autumn.
On the political front, a US-China trade deal is around the corner. I expect the final summit to come in late May. A trade deal will be enough to support the recovery in China and Europe. From a markets perspective on the FX board, a deal will support EUR as well as commodity currencies notably AUD, NZD, CAD and NOK.
A great few trades paying for stops and we are in perfect sync. Well done those following and positioned for the move towards 1.13.
