Emini S&P: higher as expected in the longer term bull trend as 'buy-the-dip' continues to be the winning strategy. We beat the all time high at 5066 for a new buy signal & initially hit the next target of 5090/94 then 5120/25 with a high for the day exactly here on Friday. Further gains are expected this week to 5140/45.

Any downside correction should find support at 5065/60. Longs need stops below 5050.

Nasdaq March futures could dip to a good support level at 17800/750. Longs need stops below 17700. A break lower meets what should be the best support for this week at 17600/500. Longs need stops below 17400.

We have resistance at the all time high at 18120/145. A sustained break higher is buy signal for this week, initially targeting 18200/220 & 18260/270, probably as far as 18320/340.

Emini Dow Jones March futures beat this week's high at 38900/909 & the all time high at 38980-39012 as expected, after the short term consolidation and hit my next target of 39160/220.

The break above 39270 on Friday only reached 39343. As long as we can hold above support at 39000/38900, we can eventually target 39450/500, probably as far as 36650/700.

However longs at 39000/38900 longs need stops below 38750.

EUR/USD remains offered below 1.1600, seems vulnerable near multi-month low

The EUR/USD pair struggles to capitalize on the overnight bounce from the 1.1530 region, or the lowest level since November 2025, and lower for the third consecutive day on Wednesday. Spot prices slide back below the 1.1600 mark during the Asian session and seem vulnerable to slide further.

GBP/USD weakens to near 1.3300 as geopolitical risks bolster US Dollar

The GBP/USD pair attracts some sellers to around 1.3310 during the early European session on Wednesday. Escalating conflict in the Middle East triggers a "flight to safety," supporting the US Dollar against the Pound Sterling. Traders will take more cues from the US ADP Employment and ISM Services Purchasing Managers Index reports, which are due later on Wednesday.

Gold sticks to intraday gains above $5,150; upside seems limited amid bullish USD

Gold preserves its modest intraday gains through the Asian session on Wednesday and currently trades just above the $5,150 level, up around 1.30% for the day. Investors remain concerned about a prolonged conflict in the Middle East and its impact on the global economy amid an already uncertain environment.

Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple struggle for direction as consolidation persists

Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple prices trade with a cautious tone at the time of writing on Wednesday as upside momentum continues to fade across the broader crypto market. BTC remains within a parallel channel, ETH struggles below key resistance, while XRP remains fragile within a descending channel. These top three cryptocurrencies by market capitalization continue to struggle to establish a directional bias amid the consolidation phase.

When rates start driving the bus through a war zone

The volatility regime itself is also changing character. EM carry trades thrive in calm markets. They suffocate in environments that resemble Buckaroo Banzai trading conditions, where headlines move faster than models. That is exactly the world investors are now trying to recalibrate to. Euro rate volatility had been remarkably subdued even while equities were wobbling. That stability is now being questioned, and once volatility leaks into rates it rarely stays contained. Indeed, carry trades love calm seas. War turns the ocean into white water.

Solana Price Forecast: SOL consolidation near resistance as ETF inflows offer mild support

Solana price is facing slight rejection as it approaches the upper boundary of the consolidation range at around $88 on Wednesday. Institutional demand is strengthening as spot Exchange Traded Funds recorded two consecutive inflows so far this week.
