Stocks are expected to collapse now

Nasdaq futures

Emini Nasdaq breaks the neckline to a 2 month head & shoulders pattern at around 24850.

Yesterday we wrote: I think there is a greater than 50% chance of a confirmed break below this level sooner rather than later.

This break was expected & is an important medium term sell signal.

A break below 24600 is another sell signal & risks a slide to an excellent buying opportunity at 24200/24000.

Longs need stops below 23850.

Strong resistance at 24850/24950 & shorts need stops above 25100.

EUR/USD climbs to daily highs on US CPI

EUR/USD now accelerates it rebound and flirts with the 1.1880 zone on Friday, or daily highs, all in response to renewed selling pressure on the US Dollar. In the meantime, US inflation figures showed the headline CPI rose less than expected in January, removing some tailwinds from the Greenback’s momentum.

GBP/USD clings to gains above 1.3600

GBP/USD reverses three consecutive daily pullbacks on Friday, hovering around the low-1.3600s on the back of the vacillating performance of the Greenback in the wake of the release of US CPI prints in January. Earlier in the day, the BoE’s Pill suggested that UK inflation could settle around 2.5%, above the bank’s goal.

Gold: Upside remains capped by $5,000

Gold is reclaiming part of the ground lost on Wednesday’s marked retracement, as bargain-hunters seem to have stepped in. The precious metal’s upside, however, appears limited amid the slightly better tone in the US Dollar after US inflation data saw the CPI rise less than estimated at the beginning of the year.
