During the previous period, the 10Y US Treasury yields were heading toward the 4,8% level, in a fear of potential higher inflation in the US supported by the strong jobs market. However, posted inflation figures during the previous week, showed that the inflation level in December was modestly below market estimate. This was a sign for the market that the Fed might actually pursue with a planned two rate cuts during the course of this year. In this sense, Treasury yields tumbled down, toward the lowest weekly level of 4,57%. Still, they are ending the week at the level of 4,62%. In addition to a slowdown in inflation, a note from Fed Governor Waller that the Fed might cut multiple times this year, further cooled down the Treasury yields. It could be expected that the markets will continue to consolidate in the coming period, after the inflation figures showed that there is a decreasing trend, regardless of a strong jobs market. However, there is still a day to watch on Monday, January 20th, where an inauguration of a new US administration will take place. There is some probability for a higher volatility on this day, but still, it could not be expected for some higher moves to either side.
The GBPJPY currency pair is below the EMA200 and EMA50 in the 4-hour timeframe and is moving in its upward channel. If the corrective movement continues towards the supply zone, we can sell with a suitable risk reward. According to the latest Bloomberg survey, the UK government faces significant challenges in restoring investor confidence, as the pound and British bonds continue their downward trend. Following a decline in UK markets early in 2025 due to rising concerns over debt and inflation, about 51% of the 250 participants in last week’s survey predicted the pound would fall to between $1.15 and $1.20 by the end of June. This would mark the currency’s weakest level in over two years. Meanwhile, 45% of participants anticipate greater volatility in the pound, with 10-year UK bond yields expected to rise above 5% this year.Taylor, a member of the Bank of England, emphasized the importance of staying vigilant against potential risks. He suggested that recent data indicate a worsening economic outlook and that interest rates should be reduced promptly to avoid further challenges. In Japan, households expect prices to rise in the coming year. The percentage of households with such expectations increased slightly from 85.6% in the previous survey to 85.7%. However, five-year inflation expectations have seen a slight decline. According to the Bank of Japan, average annual inflation expectations among households stand at 11.5%, based on the latest survey. Goldman Sachs economists predict that the Bank of Japan will raise interest rates next week. The firm also remains optimistic about the yen, expecting any action by the Bank of Japan in January to support the currency. Market pricing suggests that an interest rate hike by the Bank of Japan is almost certain. According to Bloomberg, Kazuo Ueda, Governor of the Bank of Japan, will evaluate the need for a rate hike on Friday. Expectations for an interest rate increase have grown, provided that potential shocks from the early days of Trump’s presidency do not materialize. While other central banks, particularly the Federal Reserve, are focused on rate cuts, the Bank of Japan is moving in the opposite direction, aiming for a gradual return to conventional monetary policies. The Bank of Japan is set to announce its first interest rate decision of 2025 on Friday. During its final meeting in 2024, the bank decided to keep rates unchanged. Governor Ueda stated that more data is needed to justify a rate hike, highlighting concerns about wages and uncertainties surrounding Trump’s economic policies. Since then, new data has shown a significant rise in November inflation, with December inflation pressures also intensifying. Wages also grew in November. Additionally, a summary of opinions from the December meeting indicates that a rate hike could occur sooner than investors anticipate. Given these developments and recent remarks from BoJ officials, investors assign an 80% probability to a 0.25% rate hike. However, the Bank of Japan has a long history of disappointing expectations for rate increases. If Trump adopts an aggressive stance on tariffs in his upcoming speech, the BoJ may once again refrain from raising rates, potentially leading to a decline in the yen. If the Bank of Japan does raise interest rates, the yen is likely to strengthen, but the associated risks are asymmetrical. The negative impact of refraining from a hike could outweigh the positive effect of an increase. Nonetheless, a further decline in the yen might prompt Japanese authorities to intervene to support the currency.
Regular readers will know that we avoid fundamental analysis In these reports - we stick to the price. But that doesn’t mean being blind to the world around us. On Monday January 20, Donald Trump will be inaugurated as US President. I’m sure many of you have your political views about Trump - but just keep those away from your trade ideas! The crypto market - and Bitcoin especially - has been on a huge rally since Trump spoke at a Bitcoin conference in favour of cryptocurrencies last year. There’s a chance President Trump could mention Bitcoin in his inaugural speech but even if he doesn’t, the prospect of favourable regulation is broadly positive for Bitcoin - or if we’re more honest - the idea of better regulation could be enough justification to keep the crypto bull run going for now. Bitcoin On the weekly chart, we can see Bitcoin (BTC/USD) has been trading sideways around the $100,000 level - with roughly $90,000 as support. But bigger picture it’s a huge uptrend and we want to trade in line with the trend (as always) Importantly - it just closed the week back over the critical $100K mark - and it did so with a bullish engulfing candlestick that engulfed the previous 3 weeks. As a reminder - where the week closed is more important than the high or low of the week - and a weekly close is more significant than a daily close. You can think of the closing price as the price that everybody agreed was the right price for that period. The final missing piece to the bullish breakout is a weekly close at a new record high. https://www.tradingview.com/x/BQTHgWj5/ On the daily chart we are watching the broken trendline as well as the $100k level as support that needs to hold if the breakout is going to happen soon. But while the price trendline is not especially reliable with only two ‘touches’ or swing points the broken RSI trendline is much more significant and shows a big pickup in momentum that will be needed if the price is to break out. https://www.tradingview.com/x/mVve4I9l/ If the breakout does happen, the first barrier that needs to break is $110,000 but after that $120k then even $130k could come quite quickly given Trump’s inauguration this week. But - as always - that’s just how my team and I are seeing things, what do you think? Share your ideas with us - OR - send us a request! Send us an email or message us on social media. cheers! Jasper
Hello traders, I want share with you my opinion about Euro. Looking at the chart, we can see how the price some time traded inside the range, where it declined to the resistance level, which coincided with the seller zone, and then dropped to the support line, breaking the 1.0460 level. Then price turned around and started to grow near the support line until it reached the resistance level, after which it turned around making an impulse down, breaking the support line, and entering to buyer zone. After this movement, the Euro bounced from the buyer zone and started to grow to the resistance level, but when the price almost rose to this level, it turned around and started to decline inside the pennant pattern. In the pennant, Euro declined to the support line, breaking the support level, after which rebounded and quickly rose to the resistance line of this pattern, breaking the support level one more time. And now, the price continues to trades near this line, so, for this case, I think that the Euro can correct to support line of pennant. Then it will start to grow and even can exit from the pennant, after which continue to move up next. Therefore I set my TP at 1.0400 points. Please share this idea with your friends and click Boost ?
During the previous two weeks, the US equity market went through a short term correction, amid investors fears that the Fed might halt further cuts of interest rates during the course of this year, due to stronger than expected jobs market and potential surge in inflation in the US. The December inflation figures were posted during the previous week, which showed that the inflation in the US was held below market expectations, which brought back some optimism among investors. The S&P 500 recovered from losses, and ended the week at the level of 5.996. However, the question still remains if the index took a path toward the upside, or is this only a short term optimism? An inauguration of the new US Administration is scheduled for January 20th, where the markets will closely watch what measures will be actually taken within the first week, from all the promises from the pre-election period. The most challenging move is the one related to trade tariffs with China, which might bring some negative impact to the US economy. In this sense, Monday will be a day to watch during the week ahead. For one more week, tech stocks were in the focus of market attention during the previous week. Tesla stocks gained over 3% for the week, followed by other big tech companies and the semiconductor industry. The only stock that is still struggling to regain market cap is Apple, whose shares were hit by news that Apple is losing market share in China due to strong competition from local smartphone producers. Banking sector was also closely watched, as they posted quarterly results. As their earnings were higher from expectations, the stocks of major US banks gained significantly within the week. Goldman Sachs and CITI Group were traded higher by roughly 12%, while JPMorgan was traded higher by 8%. For the week ahead, Monday is the day to watch. After the President-elect won the US elections in November, the market reacted in a positive manner. Whether this optimism will continue to hold after his inauguration is to be seen during the week ahead.
EURUSD: short term stop before the parity The US inflation data was in the market focus during the previous week. It was a missing puzzle for the current period, for the investors' sentiment in terms of the next Feds move. Inflation rate in December was standing at 0,4% for the month, in line with market expectations, same as inflation on a yearly level at 2,9%. The core inflation in December was 0,2% for the month and 3,2% on a yearly basis. As for other macro indicators posted during the previous week, the Producers Price Index in December was standing at 0,2% for the month and 3,3% for the year. Both figures were below market expectations. Retail sales in December were higher by 0,4% compared to the previous month, a bit lower from market estimate of 0,5%. The number of building permits in the US was lower by 0,7% on a monthly basis in December, while housing starts were higher by 15,8% for the month. Industrial production increased in December by 0,9% for the month and 0,5% on a yearly basis. The full year GDP growth in Germany is -0,2% in line with market expectations. Industrial Production in the Euro Zone was standing at 0,2% in November, bringing total IP at -1,9% on a yearly basis. Inflation rate final for December in Germany is 0,5% for the month and 2,6% for the year. Figures were in line with market expectations. Inflation rate final in the Euro Zone in December was 0,4% for the month. Supported by lower than expected inflation figures, the US Dollar continued to strengthen during the previous week. The lowest weekly level of the currency pair was 1,018 on one occasion. However, the majority of deals were conducted around the level of 1,028 level, while the highest weekly level reached was at 1,034. The RSI continues to move modestly above the oversold market side, since November last year. The moving average of 50 days continues to strongly diverge from its MA200 counterpart, without an indication of potential slowdown. In a week ahead, there is no scheduled release of currently significant macro data which could potentially move the market toward one side. However, it should be considered that the market will closely monitor the inauguration of the new US Administration, where some volatility might emerge. In this sense, Monday, January 20th should be closely watched. As per potential eurusd moves, charts are showing potential for a short term support line at 1,20 to be tested in the coming period. This level does not represent a significant one, when looking at the longer chart frame, but only a short term stop before the eurusd parity. Important news to watch during the week ahead are: EUR: Producers Price Index for December in Germany, ZEW Economic Sentiment Index for January in Germany, HCOB Manufacturing PMI Flash for January in Germany, and the Euro Zone; USD: Existing Home Sales for December, Michigan Consumer Sentiment final for January,

Previous two weeks were a bit shaky for the crypto market, as investors were anticipating a changed Fed's mood for interest rate cuts during the course of this year, due to strong jobs market and potential increase in inflation. Still, December figures showed that there is no need for such a fear, so the markets returned into the positive mood. The crypto market gained during the previous week, while BTC managed to get back toward levels above the $100K. BTC started the previous week by testing the resistance line at $95K. This level was easily crossed, so BTC continued its path toward the $105,5K which was the highest weekly level. The RSI currently moves around the level of 65, leaving some space for a further surge in price, until the clear overbought market side is reached. The moving average of 50 days started a divergence from MA200, indicating that no cross will occur in the future period. The week of inauguration of the new US President-elect is ahead. The event is scheduled for Monday, January 20th. Considering his strong support to the crypto ecosystem in the pre-election period, it could be expected that the crypto market will continue to be in a positive mood. There is a chance for BTC to reach its ATH level in the week ahead, which was at $107,9K in December last year. Whether the market will be ready to push the price further to the upside is about to be seen. From the perspective of the technical analysis, levels above the $107,9K are treated as uncharted territory, so in this case, BTC will create a new history.
Last week in the news The US inflation is not as scary as investors previously thought. In this sense, they adjusted previous expectations and returned positive sentiment to financial markets. The US equity markets recovered from losses carried two weeks ago. The S&P 500 ended the week at the level of 5.996. The US Dollar continued to gain in strength, but due to general uncertainty, the price of gold also surged back to the $2,7K levels. The US Treasury yields reacted strongly on inflation figures, bringing back the 10Y US benchmark to the level of 4,62%. In the dawn of the US new Administration inauguration, the crypto market also reacted positively, bringing BTC back above the level of $100K. The US inflation figures were posted during the previous week, which was the major macro event. The inflation rate in December was standing at 0,4% for the month, bringing the inflation figure to 2,9% on a yearly basis. Both figures were in line with market forecasts. At the same time, core inflation was lower from market estimate, reaching 0,2% for the month and 3,2% on a yearly basis. This was information that changed market sentiment from negative to positive. Namely, strong jobs figures initiated a fear among investors that inflation might be higher than previously estimated, in which sense, the Fed will halt further cuts of interest rates. The current situation signals that the market was wrong with previous estimates, and that inflation in the US is on a clear down trend, in which sense, the Fed might continue with planned two rate cuts during the course of this year. The US 10Y Treasury yields also had a strong reaction to inflation data, bringing yields from the 4,8% down to 4,62%. level. During the previous week markets were discussing a new meme coin issued by a new US President-elected, whose inauguration is scheduled for January 20th. The meme coin was issued on a Solana blockchain, where this coin surged by 12% on Saturday and 23% on Friday. News is reporting that this coin currently has a market cap of nearly $5 billion and is the largest coin on the Solana chain. The Bank of Japan is again in the spotlight of investors' attention. Namely, there are an increasing number of news reports noting a potential rate hike by the Bank of Japan in order to support the decreasing value of its currency. Reuters mentioned sources from BoJ which noted higher probability that the BoJ will increase its reference rates on a meeting as of the end of January. Market participants are currently pricing 80% chances for a rate hike at the forthcoming BoJ meeting. Due to the significant amount in carry trades, there is a higher probability that the markets in the US might react in a negative manner to this BoJ action. There was a lot of dust in the media regarding the TikTok ban in the US during previous weeks. However, Reuters posted the latest news that the new President-elect Trump will allow TikTok to operate in the US only if US investors hold 50% stake in the company. Crypto market cap As inflation in the US is clearly under control and on its way down, and as inauguration of a new President-elect is coming due, the crypto market turned to the positive hype for one more time. The majority of crypto coins were traded in a positive sentiment during the previous week, increasing total crypto market capitalization by 11% on a weekly level, adding a new $340B to it. Daily trading volumes were also significantly increased to the level of $382B on a daily basis, from $130B traded a week before. Total crypto market cap increase from the end of the previous year currently stands at 11%, where $340B has been added. Almost all crypto coins ended the week in a positive territory. The highest increase in market cap came from Bitcoin, which increased its value by more than 11% on a weekly basis, adding a new $211B to it. A new $19B came from ETH, which was a weekly increase of around 5% for this coin. XRP was also in the spotlight of the market, which managed to increase its market value by 27% w/w, adding $38B to its market cap. This time Solana should be specially mentioned. Namely, the coin surged by more than 44% after a new meme coin TRUMP was issued on this network, which represents the highest coin on this blockchain. Eventually, the market has a new favorite coin on the market, called TRUMP, issued by the current US President-elect. In only a few days, this coin managed to collect $ 13B in the market cap, and currently takes 16th place on the list of most valuable coins, based on data from Coinmarketcap. The TRUMP coin surged by an incredible 918% for the last seven days. In line with the significant surge in the market cap, Solana also increased the number of its coins in circulation by 0,5% on a weekly basis. Stellar and Algorand had an increase in circulating coins by 0,2%, each. The number of Tether stablecoins increased by 0,7% during the previous week. Crypto futures market The crypto hype is for one more time on the crypto market, but this time also on the crypto futures market. Some interesting developments occurred with BTC futures during the previous week. Namely, all maturities were traded higher by more than 10% on a weekly basis, where futures maturing in December 2026 reached the price of $124.045. This represents the highest ever quoted price for BTC, indicating that the market is extremely positively oriented toward this coin. Futures maturing in December this year ended the week at the level of $114.145. ETH futures were traded higher around 7,5% for all maturities. Futures maturing as of the end of this year ended the week at the level of $3.778. Those futures maturing in December 2026 managed to cross the $ 4K level, ending the week at $4.057.
