US30 (DOW JONES/ WALLSTREET 30) MARKET ANALYSIS

Image
  US30 price dropped to a key H1 demand level at 29120.82 & 28837.20 which also corresponds with a major weekly demand level. Price dropped to demand, formed candle close inside followed by a large H1 bullish engulfing candle and a rally out of demand confirming a bullish reversal. Price formed candle close above demand, retested it then continued with the rally, rallying to the 1st H1 high at 29589.90 confirming a shift in market structure to bullish. However, price has still not yet taken out that H1 high and I anticipated a drop back to retest demand and accumulate more bullish orders to take out the H1 high and continue with the rally. I missed out on the optimum entries at the start of the rally but looking to take buy positions after a retracement back to demand.

INTEREST RATES WEEK? FOMC NEWS RELEASE AND ITS IMPACT ON THE USD

Image
Good evening traders, I hope you're all good and had a great weekend. The last trading week was one to remember as it was full of high impact news  from the Swiss National Bank on Swiss Franc (CHF) monetary policy to Bank of England releasing their monetary policy report and the most high impact being the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) that shook the markets after the interest rates hike.  Job gains have been robust in recent months and the unemployment rate has remained low. Inflation remains elevated, reflecting supply and demand imbalances related to the pandemic, higher food and energy prices and broader price pressures. The Committee seeks to achieve maximum employment and inflation at the rate of 2% over the long run. To support this, the Committee decided to raise the rates from 2.50% to 3.25% , a 75bps hike and anticipates that ongoing increases in the rates will be appropriate. The Fed estimates an increase to 4.40%, another 115bps hike in the near future which ...
