Emini S&P futures

Emini S&P March futures broke below minor support again at 6920/6910 to hit my next downside target & good support 6860/6850.

We made a low for the day just 8 points below here but are yet to see any recovery.

This is an important level again today & longs need stops below 6830.

A break lower & especially a weekly close below 6830 is a short term sell signal targeting 6815, 6790/85 & even a retest of last week's low at 6752 is possible.

We then meet strong support at 670/6730 for a buying opportunity with a stop below 6705.

Longs at support 6860/6850 can target 6880/6890 & above 6900 look for 6920/6925 for profit taking before the weekend.

Nasdaq futures

Emini Nasdaq March futures break above 25390 was a clear buy signal initially targeting 25550/25650.

We got close but reversed from 25465 but broke support at 24990/24900 this time with stops below 24800 triggered

If you sold on the break lower, we can target 24690/630 and as I write over night we are only 25 ticks away, so the target is almost achieved.

Further losses are possible for a test of 18 month trend line support at 24500/25400.

Longs need stops below 25300 but below here meets excellent longer term support at 24200/24000.

There is a good chance of a strong bounce from here in the days ahead, but longs need stops below 23850.

After the break lower yesterday, gains are likely to be limited for now, with resistance at 25100/25200 but shorts need stops above 25250.

EUR/USD trims losses, flirts with the 1.1850 zone

EUR/USD is back on the back foot on Wednesday, slipping below the 1.1850 area as the US Dollar picks up some modest traction. The move comes as traders position ahead of a busy run of US data and the release of the FOMC Minutes. Adding to the pullback are reports that the ECB’s Lagarde may step down before completing her term.

GBP/USD flirts with daily highs near 1.3580

GBP/USD manages to set aside two consecutive daily declines and trades with slight gains in the 1.3580 zone on Wednesday. Cable’s uptick comes despite acceptable gains in the Greenback and easing UK inflation figures, which seem to have reinforced the case for a BoE rate cut in March.

Gold regains some shine, retargets $5,000 ahead of FOMC Minutes

Gold gathers fresh upside traction on Wednesday, leaving part of the weakness seen at the beginning of the week and refocusing its attention to the key $5,000 mark per troy ounce, all ahead of the release of the FOMC Minutes and despite the modest uptick in the US Dollar.

Pi Network rally defies market pressure ahead of its first anniversary

Pi Network is trading above $0.1900 at press time on Wednesday, extending the weekly gains by nearly 8% so far. The steady recovery is supported by a short-term pause in mainnet migration, which reduces pressure on the PI token supply for Centralized Exchanges. The technical outlook focuses on the $0.1919 resistance as bullish momentum increases.

Mixed UK inflation data no gamechanger for the Bank of England

Food inflation plunged in January, but service sector price pressure is proving stickier. We continue to expect Bank of England rate cuts in March and June. The latest UK inflation read is a mixed bag for the Bank of England, but we doubt it drastically changes the odds of a March rate cut.

Top 3 Price Prediction: Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple face downside risk as bears regain control

Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple remain under pressure on Wednesday, with the broader trend still sideways. BTC is edging below $68,000, nearing the lower consolidating boundary, while ETH and XRP also declined slightly, approaching their key supports.
