I'd be tempted to think that around 1.15 there's likely to be significant resistance, especially since the ECB will probably cut rates again.

The range is probably between 1.128 and 1.1423, but the dollar has dropped quite a lot. I'm hesitant to go long here, especially if we slip below 1.136.

{quote} yup confidence in the US has dropped. China said no and the world sees it. That is irreversable. EU and the rest of the world has option now to partner with China as Trump refused to be the world leader like before.
Many of these guys getting their news. From a game show host Joe Rogan like its gospel. People need to consider their news source is not news. Its commentators lining up a bunch of crazies to interview. There is no checking facts or not. The $ for clicks without any source checking. Its making a fools of the guys repeating the BS. The dumbing down of people's common sense. Once in the cult it's hard to get out. Lead by "people are saying", or "I'm just asking". When there is no facts behind it.
The cult tell you what beer to drink, what singers not to listen to, the actors you can't watch, the football you can't watch, even the bible you read. But there is a way for these to get back on the good side of the cult. Just make a donation. And the beer will be free flowing. The leader will even come to your football game. You can't make this up..

I was supposed to take a shot at 1341 from 1406ish. I just turned is on. 1442 was the other place to look {image}
1313 1303 may show something. But the runup above 1313 is like where institutions were selling. but this tariff mess distorted everything
If 1313 would support. It would want to get back above 1442.

You better get the christmas toys etc bought. The tariffs at 140% will be a bargain. The problem will be importers are not going to buy the toys. The toy shortage will inflate toys well beyond the 140%.

DXY I had marked this level when it it was struggling to bounce from previous level. This level also had a gap, filled today. I would be expecting complete reversal soon..... {image}
If DXY wants to bounce this is good enough level to do it.

I’m already buying a bunch of stuff I don’t need, just in case.
By the way, the whole world is watching the 10Y yield and selling dollars when the stock market drops.
These correlations work for a while, until everyone starts doing the same thing, then the lights go out and there's no way out.

{quote} Tucker Carlson is a moron. He says outrages crap for clicks. He was a lefty doing the same thing before. He is a commentator. Thats not factual crap he spills it just click bait
I was interested in what Dr. Soon had to say not the Carlson guy.. I began diving into it and seeing news articles of American Firms investing in China for the recreation of Dr. Soon research then I began tracking down research papers of people involved.. The Video was just the most current one I could find typing in his name and that is what the algo served up..

This is what makes it worse than 2008. The world lost confidence in the usa, the usd via treasury demand. Is the world voting. Pulling out of climate deal, threatening NATO, siding with Russia over Ukraine, Selling Crypto, selling bibles and crystal crosses out the White House. The complete screwing of our friends. I wonder what made people lose confidence?

meaning no fundamental support for usd to bounce, weak dollars will be in play for a long time.

There are a large portion of bonds maturing in June with no buyers

DXY monthly.
If we dont get a bounce here, and there's no fundamental reason we should, then next stop is the trendline.

Yeah. But it will at some point. Slowly but surely people are catching on. Harvard U gave DT a big FU. DT wanted to control the entire U. From curriculum, to hiring of janitors on up. Eventually the usd may bottom, when we look sain again. We pulled all the support in the third world. Now China and /Russia are filling the vacuum. This will set the usa back for decades. Lost trade relations may never come back.

EG the 1h did engulf. I'm shooting for a swing to 8683 by Friday. with any luck by Wednesday. S/l is one's personal decision against tp. There is a rate decision this week. I may close before

Stops are above 1.15.
Also some longs above 1.137 with tp at 1.14

EUR/GBP is interesting. I’ve kind of been expecting it to drop for a while.
Although the last time it was at this level, it bounced back up again.

{quote} Need some verification. Everything should look bullish trend wise now. Even the tariff usd outflow favors a weaker usd. Verify! The numbers pulled from were before the tariffs {image}
Still consolidating. Sorry I closed the shorts from 1440 last week too early. No 4h closes below 1303. 1313 held the last push down. The 12h closed above 1340 a few hours ago, so did the day and week. Pa atm is holding between 1313 and 1367. To drop -1303 probably needs at least a 4h close below. To rise maybe a 1h close above 1367. The ECB cutting rates is the big thing next. At the same time the tariffs have a 90 day reprieve. Meanwhile the disaster master is talking about more tariffs or not tariffs (chips etc). Nobody knows what the mad hatter is doing, including the mad hatter. It changes as often as his 4X diapers.
So as a back up plan, what if the ECB cuts, and the Euro gets stronger over the usd? Don't rule it out.
If it manage to get above 1367 + and closing. 1442 may have some R value.

The rate cut is likely baked in. I have another pending 8553.

In my opinion, we should be at 0.83.
This euro strength is absurd.
I’ve got some older shorts, but I don’t have the courage to add new ones right here.
