Market update 14 Feb 2024

A sharp selloff happened after the live session as the market reacted to the CPI data.

The magnitude and supply are slightly less than 31 Jan 2023. So far yesterday’s drop in S&P 500 (ES) did not pose a great concern yet. 4850 is a meaningful support that needs to hold.

Meanwhile, Russell 2000 (RTY) had a more severe drop, as shown below:

RTY failed at the key level - 2000 twice.

If it breaks below the support at 1925, the major indices like S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, and Dow Jones are likely to join the sell-off as Russell 2000 leads the way down.

A commitment above 2000 is the key to broadening market breadth and the bullish momentum will return.

We will get more clues in the next few days.

The bearish analogue in S&P 500 discussed in the tweet below is still valid and could be unfolding accordingly.

"This is like a topping formation. We have seen it right here. Although this probably like a megaphone type of the formation rather than a rectangle.

In terms of the overbought condition analog. There's a chance for it to follow this kind of the pullback." $ES $SPX #SP500 pic.twitter.com/fVEZuen9iQ

AUD/USD hits three-week highs past 0.7000

Finally, AUD/USD has managed to reclaim the key 0.7000 yardstick on Tuesday. Indeed, the pair clinched its third day in a row of gains, following the persistent correction in the Greenback amid the generalised improvement in the risk-linked galaxy.

USD/JPY flatlines near 158.50 as markets seek direction

USD/JPY steadies around 158.50 in the Asian trading hours on Tuesday. Traders prefer to wait on the sidelines ahead of Japan’s National Consumer Price Index inflation data later on Friday. Meanwhile, elevated US bond yields provide some support to the US Dollar against the Japanese Yen.

Gold just failed at $4,150. This is the next stop

Gold prices trade without a clear direction on Tuesday, hovering around the $4,170 region per troy ounce and still struggling to regain upside traction following Monday’s pullback. In the meantime, lower US Treasury yields and a marked pullback in the US Dollar come in tandem with the yellow metal’s price action.

Dogecoin Price Forecast: DOGE struggles below key moving average resistance

Dogecoin (DOGE) is trading marginally above $0.0800 on Tuesday, up 1% on the day, against lows around $0.0785. The meme coin is cautiously navigating a broader lethargic cryptocurrency market where Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and Ripple (XRP) are struggling to gain momentum.

Markets at a turning point: Bitcoin, Gold, FX and Tech react to a heavy macro week

The new trading week opens with a mixed but revealing picture across global markets. Indices, commodities, FX, tech stocks, and cryptocurrencies are all sending one message: risk appetite is alive, but it is cautious, selective, and highly sensitive to macro signals.

The US Dollar fell. Gold didn't rally. That tells you everything

Gold (XAU/USD) is struggling to capitalize on a weaker US Dollar (USD), after repeatedly failing to establish itself above the $4,200 level. The precious metal remains confined to a relatively narrow trading range despite a combination of developments that would normally support higher prices.
