The Merkel news has been dripping through all day but confirmed now she won't run in 2021. Chief economist says the recent regional poor polling results won't make a difference once the dust has settled but he is wrong. It's hard enough to keep a coalition together when there are only 2 of you, but 4 or 5 different parties. Ha.

“Even if Merkel were to be replaced and/or if a new government were to take power in Berlin, with or without new elections, it would not make a major difference once the dust has settled,” Holger Schmieding, chief economist at Berenberg, said in a note. “Any conceivable coalition in Berlin would still be dominated by the mainstream parties CDU/CSU, SPD, Greens and the smaller Liberals.”

Over night (well midnight really) breakouts across the board on USD pairs with EUR,GBP,AUD all breakout of key resistance zones and CAD retesting small Triangle after a breakout last night.  If we see this backed up with a rally away this morning this is very Bullish and the relief rally I have been seeking is on, finally!

AUD is particularly bullish having already made a significant turn last Friday and is approaching a Daily LT channel Upper tram-line.  A breakthrough here will surely seal the rally direction...

I'd like to see a new higher high on the 1 hour chart on CAD to be more confident on this pair but I believe this would be a long term direction confirmation rather than a retrace...

To complete the USD picture, the DX (which for anyone not familiar with it is comprised of: EUR; GBP; YEN; CAD; CHF & Swedish Kroner, it is a bit arcane but a useful overall USD indicator, not tradeable in my view) looks to have completed a wave 1 up and is now set for an A-B-C retrace.  Likely candidates for completion are the Fib 62% and 76/78%, the latter of which would be a Flag breakout retest zone.

Of note I am predicting EURUSD (over 50% of the DX strength) to move in a single 1-5 wave.  This can only happen if other pairs in the DX have a dampening effect (i.e. move in the opposite direction).  USDJPY is in a rally phase aligned to stocks rally.  USDCAD is setting up for a long term rally (unconfirmed!). So this could easily be the case.  Alternatively there is an EW set up that allows for EUR to also make a wave C move in A-B-C fashion, called a complex retrace but let's see how the price action goes before assessing which it is.  One thing that is tweaking my antennae on this latter set up is that while I am expecting a period of EUR strength vs GBP I then expect EURGBP to dive into a strongly LT Bearish move, which could align to a EURUSD complex retrace.

All a bit complicated and technical so for right now I will just be happy if USD drops and reassess later.

Thoughts on USD anyone? @Caseynotes (you used to major on FX) @elle @PandaFace @TrendFollower, anyone else want to join the party?

    • I believe this is nothing but a witch hunt cos apparently Binance is on its way to been the biggest company world over. Also, there are rumours that all this hapenings could be BlackRock making a move to clear the house ahead of the most awaited ETF. Notwithstanding, i took precautionary measures and moved my funds to Bitget and Bybit, better to be safe than sorry yah.
    • Crypto industry maybe seen as one of the fastest growing industries in the world today, boasting of a remarkable growth that is capable of making many forget in a hurry all the hurdles it had to beat during its infancy. Although not void of limitations still, no industry is anyways, it has well exceeded early expectations and earned global interest. So scrolling through my Instagram feeds today and seeing the footballing icon and 8th time Ballon d'or winner, Lionel Messi’s post of him celebrating his 1 year anniversary partnership with the crypto exchange, Bitget, I was left reminiscing all the challenges the industry had to overcome to get to where it is today. As a crypto enthusiast who is eager to see the industry reach greater heights, such high-profile partnership thrills me. For one, for the industry to leap further, the issue of lack of trust must be resolved. Lionel Messi well understands his position in his country Argentina as a demi-god, his 500m global followers on IG idolise him. He and his crew must have done their background checks before endorsing the crypto exchange to protect his reputation and also for his followers’ interest. The global reach from this partnership is also a win for the exchange and the industry in general. It portrays the exchange as trustworthy and reliable, and readily welcomes newbies, further boosting crypto adoption. 2009-2023 has been an adventurous journey for the crypto industry, there might have been some tides here and there but the ship is sailing smoothly. Has crypto industry striked mainstream adoption to afford sealing high-profile partnerships like this? 
    • Binance's former CEO, Changpeng Zhao, has admitted to violating US anti-money laundering laws, which may result in him facing jail time. This news comes as a surprise to many, as CZ is highly regarded in the industry, unlike some other exchange founders who have been caught engaging in fraudulent activities.   The US Justice Department is now seeking a longer prison sentence than the initial 12-18 months and has also denied CZ's request to travel despite his trial starting in February 2024.   Following the news of Binance CZ's guilty plea, more than $1 billion was withdrawn from Binance as investors sought out more secure options due to the uncertainty surrounding the exchange and US regulations.   This raises the question of how this situation will impact the long-term future of cryptocurrency, as well as which exchanges are best for investors at this time.
