{quote} I got some eu support 1485/94 ish. But sustained below 1499, it may turn bearish. The 30 min at 1485. I had hoped for 1396. But the bond yields are rising, as e markets drop
atm the 30 min held 1485, but the 4h closed below 1499. The 1h at 1458

Typical Annual Move (EUR/USD)Rare Big Years (EUR/USD)
5–8% total 10–15% total Smooth trends Wild volatility
Normal years:
EUR/USD might move 5–7% total from January to December.
Small trends, steady.
Big years (like during 2008 crash, 2011 Euro Crisis, 2020 COVID):
EUR/USD can swing 12% to 20%.
So 13.17% 2025 up is already a BIG deal.
It's not unheard of, but it's not normal either.
Meaning: The higher it climbs, the heavier it feels.
Big money will start looking for reasons to "book profits" (sell into strength) — especially near big old levels (like 1.15, 1.16, 1.17).

The biggest year was 20% in 2003.

The biggest % move ever in EUR/USD (single year) was in 2003:

YearMoveDirection
2003+20.1%EUR/USD up (dollar crash after Iraq war)
EUR/USD went from ~1.0350 to ~1.2400.
The dollar was getting crushed because of war fears, deficits, and a rate cut cycle.Here’s a few more huge EUR/USD years for perspective:

YearMoveDirectionNotes
2003+20.1%UpPost-Iraq war, US deficits
2007+10.2%UpFinancial bubble (pre-crash)
2014-12.0%DownECB negative rates
2020+8.9%UpCOVID chaos (dollar weak)
2005-12.7%DownUS rate hikes

he cant fire powell. And if he did leave (over Trump), a mother loss for the usd... We would have Turkey style inflation. If he tries to fire him the equites would fall harder.. treasury rates would climb. It may kill the usd. Trump destabilized the entire stability of the USA. The world is voting by running away.
More Trump instability, a fuckin moron runs this country. A 6X bankrupt idiot. When rates go up, it increases the deficit. Because we pay more in interest

This short video only should destabilized the entire stability of the USA ( tariffs + inside news ).

I think he is waiting a support from KSA, finish the deal with ukrain to take 50% from the ukrain resourses and a golden egg from his tariffs otherwise i don't think he have a real ideas to support the economy.

{quote} It may kill the usd.
Not kill "in the literal sense"
this just will let the economy weakens for a period of time, then the country returns to stability again after several years ( under another president ).

The next 1h close is a 12h close. Above 1544 leans bullish, below 1499 leans bearish. Between may range

The day close and the 12h is above lc. 1497. It may be a limited drop.

Trump likes to set records. With 1 week left this month. He may have the worst drop in Dow history. He is in the running to beat 1931, the worst year in the DOW. During The Great Depression. I'm getting less fan mail from his cult supporters. That has to mean something. Time to party like 1931! Break out the apple carts.

I don't think he will be fired. I believe it's enough to place the blame on him for not cutting interest rates in an environment that, apart from tariffs, seems non-inflationary for the moment.

The board of governors control the interest rate. Powell has his 1 vote. They all voted not to cut. He would need to force more than 1/2 of them out. Powell has the law on his side, and can afford to fight it. If he forced them all to resign. Circuit breakers will be hit. The USD would fall. We would likely have mass market panic. Exactly what would happen is speculation. I doubt it would be good.
The old man shit the bed and tries to blame it on others. This is all DT 2.0. Putin's useful idiot. They took our buildings on 911. Trying to take us down. Puting did it without firing a shot.

Everybody knows there's a problem with China and with the way we have the deficit. Europe has 450 million people and is quite similar to the U.S yet trade balance looks way better. Unfortunately, I don't think Trump will achieve much. We're already getting close to 30 days since April 2nd and no one seems to be in a hurry.

And from Lagarde's statements today, it seems like the Europeans are kind of getting closer to China. I see that the President from Mexico hasn't signed anything either, nor has India, even though Vance was there today. I'm afraid He will soon have to give in to the market again. Probably that's also why we're seeing a good rise in equities today

They may seem that way. But people in other countries dont like to take a bullies shit. The point of view from someone living in the U.S. dont have the same perspective. Its just human nature when someone tries to screw you, you screw them back. That's just part of being free. You dont want someone in another country to control you. So those free people will have a grudge. When you fuck your friends, you lose trust. We won't get that back with the moron in the bighouse. It took many decades to build trust. He pissedit away in a few months
