Since I'm the type of trader who guides himself by the Price Action mainly, I prefer the phrase "show me the charts and I'll tell you the news" by Bernand Baruch.
2/6 Pre-Powell speech we had some headlines from #ECB officials signaling a potential 75bps rate hike due to #inflation and problems in the #EURO zone.
This caused $EURUSD to tap the supply area and perform a beautiful liquidity grab before resuming the current trend.
3/6 After losing the 1.00 / parity area, $EURUSD buyers must defend the $0.995 level. If we see that level taken out on a daily closing basis the target for this "bearish flag" pattern is $0.96 area, a -3.46% give or take.
4/6 Without no surprise the #DXY carved out a "BullFlag" pattern in the last 4 days with resistance around 108.8 area. IF $EURO drops below $0.95 area and goes towards $0.96 that means:
3.46 (potential drop) x 57.6% (EURO % of DXY) = +1.99296% on DXY just from EURO juice.
5/6 Taking in consideration that #BOJ (Bank of Japan) just commented that they will continue with their current stance and keep printing, DXY might go also higher helped by the $JPY who also has a hefty % from the Dollar Index.
6/7 Now, if all these happen or even if I'm watching them as they are developing, how can one be bullish #Equities short term? #SP500 looks abysmal today printing a big bearish engulfing candle after taking out 4140. If buyers don't close at least above 4120, oh boy👀.
7/7 None of the above is guaranteed that will happen, are my views on what might happen based on current Price Action and what levels can be opened if those patterns are confirmed.
I don't know what FED,ECB or BOJ will do but if $EURO reaches $0.96 it reconfirms that PA is King!

1/23 This thread is dedicated to @SantiagoAuFund - Dollar Milkshake Theory.
I thought it's a good idea to break down the "ingredients" in DXY milkshake, but from TA only perspective.
Let's dive in 🧵👇:
Start with the video below first.
2/23 Good, now that you have watched the video I want to remind everyone that "The Dollar Milkshake Theory" is a THEORY not a certainty that those events will happen and that all #USD scenarios will play out.
Same thing for my TA breakdown, so take it with a grain of salt.
3/23 So everyone has a clear understanding of the #DXY , here is a quick explanation below:
The U.S. Dollar Index consists of 6 foreign currencies.:
Euro (EUR), JapaneseYen (JPY), BritishPound (GBP), Canadiandollar (CAD), SwedishKrona (SEK), Swiss Franc (CHF).
All eyes where on the CPI, Core CPI and PPI reports this week. The slowdown in inflation is actually a confirmation that FED's demand destruction program starts to be felt by markets.
2/16 The 10YUS bonds are retesting now the "Neckline" of the daily Head&Shoulders. If buyers manage to push the price beyond 2.9% and close above it on a weekly closing basis, it means that the breakout was a fakeout and that might put a break to the RiskOn assets rally.
4/16 Continuing my idea from the last analysis, DXY looks toppy on monthly and it confirmed my fakeout theory. I still want to see more confirmation, meaning a clear weekly close under 105, but for now RiskOn assets are happy with this weaker DXY.
2/8 Q: OK but moving the SL in profit you don't have same RR.
A: Let's extrapolate, from 500 trades if I manage to have SL in profit for 400 of them & 100 closed on usual SL with RR 1/2.5 you think is a good ratio?
This is my "edge" & I'll capitalize on it while minimizing loses
3/8 What happened with the initial $BNB short:
After the trade went ITM (in the money) I placed the StopLoss in profit and on yesterday's better than expected #CPI print it was closed.
I almost never trade on high volatility news, so I waited for the dust to settle.
Waited for the dust to settle after FED Chair Powell speech. SP500 had an intraday decline of 1.25% when J.Powell said that they will use 50bps rate hike starting May if needed.
2/12 The effects were minimal and the traders bought back late into the session managing to put SP500 only on a -0.25% day. This continuation of the trend after the breakout from the channel, enforces the idea that a current bottom in stock might be in.
3/12 Don't know about others, but I wouldn't want to short this monster weekly candle. Although Bitcoin is lagging and didn't caught up with SP500, this doesn't come as any surprise because the 42k area is a major resistance + turning point since January 2021.
The DXY continued its move lower, broke the Neckline from the DoubleTop pattern but bounced from 97.710 area and failed to print a new LowerLow.
2/13 DXY had a strong rejection from the 99.2 area and closed the week red. The "Double Top" is an extremely bearish technical reversal pattern that forms after an asset reaches a high price two consecutive times with a moderate decline between the two highs.
3/13 We didn't have the last confirmation from the Price Action, meaning that the price went under the Neckline, but failed to close daily under it. The bounce was decent on lower timeframe, so I'm really curious to see if the DXY will continue lower and the reversal next week.
#Bitcoin and the whole crypto market passed yesterday another important pressure test. The FED Reserve raised the rates with 25bps. As expected and as we discussed previously, the effects were minimal on risk-ON assets.
2/12 DXY printed in the last 2 weeks a DoubleTop W pattern, which is a bearish reversal pattern. Not even the FED raising the rates couldn't help the DXY push above the monthly resistance at 99.4 region.
3/12 However we still need DXY to close 2-3 days under 98 to confirm this downtrend, expose 96 region and trigger a rally from RiskON assets such as SP500, Bitcoin and $EGLD. Any bounce from DXY and a daily close above 99 would invalidate this pattern.
