Timing wise & FA wise :

=> initial swing via ST FED cut expectations (we are there) : min 1.114x max 1.133x

=> retrace swing via ECB (slight) expectations/facts measures. I've just seen ECB statement but, well, they run out of ammo, there is not a lot to expect (compared to FED). FED to set the trend, ECB to provide the ebbs and flows. Perfect, timing wise, as ECB meeting comes before FOMC : min 1.101x max 1.083x

=> impulsive swing : uptrend resumes via further rates cuts expectations on FED side (June, Sep, Dec as current implied probabilities show) : min 1.164x max 1.191x

Quoting Replicant
As it stands, FED cuts implied probabilities : => Probability(50bp cut in March) = 100% That will set EURUSD max rates differential down from 1.75% to 1.25% => Probability(25bp cut minimum in June) = 87.2% That will set EURUSD max rates differential down from 1.75% to 1.00% in June => Probability(25bp cut minimum in Sept) = 58.6% That will set EURUSD max rates differential down from 1.75% to 0.75% in September => Probability(25bp cut minimum in Dec) = 32.3% That will set EURUSD max rates differential...
=> This is what current ST flow in EURUSD was pricing in. Only timing (before March FOMC) is a surprise.

Watch out as Fact might trigger the retrace swing once knee jerk reaction on news fade away.

Epidemiology 101

Lethality rate = number of deaths / number of confirmed cases

Mortality rate = number of deaths / number of estimated cases

A lot of people mixing these 2 notions and comparing covid 19 lethality rate with seasonnal flu mortality rate.

Covid 19 contagion mode hasn't been yet modelized , hence number of estimated cases can't be yet interpolated. There is no mortality rate available for covid19.

"break up"
"direct flow to 1.133x (1.1344 is the exact level that should cap the flow)" super

Last June 2019 SH rejection (1.1344) has capped the flow so far, intraday scalpers smelt the bargain (high 1.1341)

{quote} so do you see eurusd going down next?
We only had an intraday retrace with FED's cut fact (intraday retrace from 1.120x to last break up point @ 1.109x). Of course, we will have a retrace swing.
But now it's still the initial swing. As said earlier, 1.133x was/is a good area to try. 1.141x is next one. Tbh, I can't see price going beyond these levels without a breath. We have ECB next thursday, and good NFP expected today. So timing wise, retrace swing looks imminent.

But don't forget the real dish will be the impulsive swing that will pan out after. From a strict rates differential perspective, we had already unlocked 1.164x and 1.191x. But now with the new break down in Equities, further FED cuts are expected and it's now 1.225x that is unlocked !!!

TA wise all these levels are still locked though. But holding 1.124x fot the W close today (= MT reversal), will unlock first one 1.164x.

EURUSD MT Map update

EURUSD looks set to hold the break (1.124x) for the W close => We have a MT reversal

Meaning :

1) We have now a MT Bottom confirmed @ 1.101x.

2) Top of the range 1.162x (D1 says extrem at 1.164x) is now unlocked TA wise. (as said earlier, it was already unlocked monetary policy wise via FED expectations)

3) MT wise, everything below 1.101x is a cheap area to load tickets for the top of the range with best value area, the MT rejection at 1.095x.

4) MT Flip is SH @ 1.141x.

==================================================

Next week is an ECB week.

Plus, we will have first post covid19 EZ macro data in the wires.

=> Timing wise, ST wise, MT wise, context points to a retrace swing from 1.133x (or last chance, 1.141x as hinted in discussion above).

Only a flop from ECB will kill the retrace imo which will trigger a direct flow to MT top 1.162x. Very very high chances that 1.16xx handle is under watch by ECB.

For the retrace, supports to track to take profit/ or to position for the impulsive swing to 1.16xx :

1.122x (H1 reversal down trigger/last D1 break up) ==> 1.109x (H4 reversal down trigger/major D1 break up) ==> 1.101x (MT Bottom)/1.099x (previous ST Bottom) ==> 1.095x (MT rejection) ==> 1.092x (ST reversal) ==> 1.083x (ST Bottom)

After OPEC+ discussions flop last week (ending a 3Y old pact), OPEC countries removing their limits on their own output, reports now hinting SA is going to raise its production by 10% next month to 11 millions barils/day (max capacity they have is 12 millions/day).

It looks more a mind game between Putin & MBS than an oil war to me, but that should be enough to visit the bottom of the MT range 35.xx with extrem target at 31.xx. At least some good news as it might be a breather for WW economy under covid19 shock, especially for airlines companies.

Crude MT Chart looks clear (and also reflects imo how information is completely asymetric on all oil topics as, PA wise, it looks clear a lot of hands had already positionned for these moves......)

I saw Italy is closing the shop. That's insane, it's a random coronavirus not the smallpox. In terms of public health, a recession is far more dangerous via unemployment, poverty, crimes .. WHO backing the move is scary as other countries might now follow.

Market wise, It's going to be very hard days in Equities until another "infected" country categorically rejects this solution.

We still have this week 2 expected push down factors :

Equities crash pulling EURUSD up during Asian session, that reminds me that crazy week in August 2015. Bears, if leverage allows it, should sit tight imo and raise their stops, high chance week ends with a long long wick on W chart as ECB is now almost forced to pull the trigger.

We might be trading uncharted waters... ES already trading LT levels (!) whereas we don't even have a single post-crisis macro data released. {image}

ES has tested LT reversal down trigger @ 272x, hands bought the level but end of month is far away...

It still has plenty of time to visit Winter 2018 Bottom (262x and extrem (rejection) @ 252x) before closing the month above 272x.

EURUSD update

=> long long wick in play on W chart as expected

=> via very loud noise in financial newspapers ECB is ready to deliver as expected :

1) a 10bp cut on deposit rate (from -0.50% to -0.60%)
2) and, the real deal, an increase in private bonds purchase via their Corporate Sector Purchase Programme (CSPP) : Increase by €20bns/month minimum + extension of eligibility (wider perimeter)

Well done those who sit tight

EURUSD ST Map update

We have a first attempt of a rejection of the highs on D1
Day closing below 1.1336 and we will have that rejection

After a 700+ pips rally, price hasn't still drawn a single SL but it looks on its way now (done deal once we have that rejection, wherever it happens)

As it stands, we are heading towards a fake break up of ST range (~ August 2015 like) : a break up that occured only on inertia via equities crash, as hinted last sunday night, and not via CB expectations.
