15 Apr: USDCHF

USDCHF has long since been a great canary in the coalmine for DXY (USD index).  Today’s green candle is very similar to 11/30 (last day of Nov) so have to take it with a grain of salt.  Keep watching USDCHF for signs of bottoming, that would be an early precursor of a dollar bottom, but any red candle on monday would negate any ST bottom potential.  

15 Apr: USDJPY

USDJPY is a major indicator of the Yen Carry Trade as Japanese citizens have the highest savings rate in the world and a larger portion of them invest in both our equities market as well as our US Treasury market, so any time they buy their yen are exchanged for US dollars thus putting upside pressure on USD & downside pressure on JPY naturally boosting this pairs ratio.

15 Apr: USDCAD

The “Great CAD Awakening” is finally upon us.  Nearly 1 year ago I forecasted that USDCAD was going to entire a great strengthening period and once it did it would going to be an extremely powerful bull market for the CAD.  Sure enough 1.24 came & went as price action flushed straight through the 200MA it it wasn’t even there.  Notice how that prior bull period also coincided during the last major Oil Super-Bull market.  MACD crossing centerline without slowing & Stochastics

22 Mar: AUDCAD

( 5-12-21):   AUDCAD so far has clearly rejected at that upper purple TL resistance.  However, like prior rejections price action has flushed all the way back to the BC before returning back up, so just because the 13MA did not hold it does not necessarily mean it cannot return back up to that TL.  However, with that said…

15 Mar: GBPEUR

The Europound market involves deposits of British pounds outside of the jurisdiction of the Bank of England. This currency pair is especially important because it is the two largest currencies in the DXY US-Basket of currencies, thus it is paramount in the Global Forex Parity thesis.
