1.173x held the close yesterday

Despite the green engulfing (which btw is irrelevant as it didn't happen after a break of the lows), there is not even a floor on H1 (yes yes)

1.176x for a floor (hence why my stop sits there)

To the short side, price needs to tick below 1.170x to trigger the continuation down via FED agenda

Next friday, EZ inflation coming (still marked yellow in FF calendar ffs). Remember CL said ECB start discussions in October to unveil tapering agenda. So, timing wise, it will be good to clear 1.162x before the release.

Last break down point, 151.4x, still capping in GBPJPY.
Yen flows are heavily (always) correlated to Equities risk on/off. For reference, US Equities - ES - still has so margin for its retrace : 449x.
This to say, trade stop might be exposed if ES completes the full retrace.

Checked, right before EZ inflation releases.

Next ECB meeting coming very late in October though. Anything very deep below 1.16 handle in between will add fuel to inflation and will corner ecen more ECB for next meeting.

EZ is ahead of the US on that front, who are still a long way from pre-covid levels (as FED outlooks and last JP statements pointed out)

Last friday EZ inflation release ticking +3.4% => EURUSD building a floor

Insane number, marked yellow in FF calendar. Thx for raising the level FF ....

Again, remember ECB said at last meeting they will start discussions in October to unveil tapering agenda. No wonder how biased are going to be the discussions under such print. Inflation has more chances to become structural in EZ than in the US because of employment figures that are already back to pre-covid levels in the zone (labour shortage, wages up up up).

TA wise, for the record :

1.155x has floored the flow to the tick twice.

This said, there is only a confirmed floor on H1 (1.157x). On H4, it's trying to build one at 1.159x (not confirmed yet). On D1, sailing above 1.168x would be a start.

FA wise, only decent FA event this week is NFP. Expectations is +490K which is a poor number regarding the number of destroyed jobs via the lockdowns (cruising speed should be above at least +700K/+800K per month to catch up pre-covid levels). But as FED outlooks pointed out, their members are fully aware revovery on that front will be slower than previously expected.

This to say, floor under construction in the pair should hold the NFP flow fingers in the nose if the release is inline or even slightly overshooting.

=> 1.149x, major MT break up, looks very exposed now. 1.149x is also 50% retracement of the 1.063x --> 1.234x MT swing.

Still sideline in the pair but with now a pending long at 1.149x to try to ride another attempt of the pair to build a floor (prolly via upcoming NFP ; employment = the soft side of US recovery).

Ok so where are we in the pair ?

FA wise :

=> last friday, another big flob in Jobs report, twice in a row, "employment = the soft side of US recovery" checked again. Remember FED runs a dual mandate.
=> today, inflation numbers have confirmed peak is behind and keep cooling down. For reference, annualized core inflation rate of the last 3 months = 2.4%, ie. back on earth. Of course yoy figures still very high following last summer numbers.

TA wise :

Watch out : EURUSD is trying right now on US open to build a floor at 1.154x.
=> Pair needs to break up 1.159x to confirm the floor.

- Bold/balls trade : buy here 1.154x for 1.161x, 1.168x, 1.175x
- If cautious: just wait for the break of 1.159x to aim the same targets ; drawback = poor r:r as it would be a momentum/expensive entry

======================================================================

FA minutes of last FOMC to be released tonight
As we saw,that meeting was very hawkish and triggered the flow 1.173x-->1.155x.
But, following last jobs numbers, what is important now to track in the meeting report is how much jobs number could weigh on FED tapering agenda.

On the EZ side :
