USD BREAKING OUT AS US DATA GOES FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH

All eyes on the US Dollar after breaking out to a fresh YTD high. US data is coming in much firmer than expected, in light of the recent NFP report and this week’s hotter than hot CPI figures. In turn, given that the Federal Reserve has added flexibility to its QE taper, strong data is likely to raise risks that the Fed could taper faster than initially expected. That said, the gains in the greenback have been broad based, with fresh YTD lows in the Euro and Sterling, while commodity FX test psychological levels.

OIL AND RATES SUGGESTS USD/CAD IS TRADING AT RICH LEVELS

Taking a closer look at the price action in USD/CAD, it would seem that the move has largely been exacerbated by a squeeze on positioning and thus the pain trade would be for a continued move higher in the pair. The move however, does go against correlated markets, with oil prices and US/CA bond spreads signalling that USD/CAD is trading at rich levels. In turn, I am expecting a short-term pullback, should equities and oil prices remain stable.

FX MOMENTUM STRETCHED

What’s more, judging by my FX momentum score, selling in the Canadian Dollar is looking stretched and thus I would caution against chasing CAD lower. Instead, I am looking for a pullback into 1.2540 where the 50 and 100DMA resides. On the topside however, resistance is situated at 1.2650.

    • I agree this is the perfect time to dca on many token. I see $Floki as the next top meme considering the armies behind it. Also $BGB, $ORDI, $Doge, $Shib, and ADA are among my top watchlist 
    • That's our hopes & I believe WAGMI cos I did also participate in the pre-trade at Bitget. Just get your Exchange's HMSTR address on your app with the memo then input for on-chain withdrawal.
    • The crypto market is buzzing with activity, and both Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) are making waves. Let’s break down the latest movements in their prices and what’s driving these changes. Bitcoin Price Update Bitcoin's price surge: BTC is now trading at $60,172, marking a 4.21% jump over the past 24 hours. Intraday performance: Bitcoin hit a low of $57,650.11 and a high of $60,656.72 today. ETF inflows: Bitcoin ETF inflows have risen to $263.07 million as of September 14. This influx of capital seems to be supporting BTC’s price surge. Market dominance: Bitcoin’s dominance increased by 0.37%, now standing at 56.56%. Market cap: Bitcoin's overall market capitalization has hit $1.19 trillion, reinforcing its leading position in the crypto world. Ethereum Price Update Ethereum’s rise: ETH price has climbed nearly 3% in the past 24 hours and is currently priced at $2,422, as per Coinpedia markets Intraday range: The second-largest cryptocurrency saw a low of $2,338.14 and a high of $2,462.80. ETF inflows: Ethereum ETFs have also seen positive inflows, with $1.52 million added as of September 14. Market cap: Ethereum’s total market cap now stands at $292.89 billion. Expert Insights: A Shift in Market Behavior? Crypto analyst ALI has shared some interesting data about the market activity of Bitcoin and Ethereum. According to ALI: Capital exiting BTC and ETH: Around $2.6 billion worth of Bitcoin and Ethereum has exited the market in the past week. This may be due to sluggish price action, suggesting that some investors are shifting to other altcoins. A possible altcoin pump: Despite the recent outflows, the total market cap has rebounded to $2 trillion, leading many to believe that a major pump may be on the horizon—not just for Bitcoin, but for altcoins as well. What’s Next for the Crypto Market? It looks like the crypto market could be gearing up for a strong rally. Both Bitcoin and Ethereum are seeing solid price movements, and with ETF inflows rising, investor confidence appears to be high. If the market continues to stabilize above the $2 trillion mark, we could see even more bullish activity in the coming days.
