EURUSD drops within bearish channel with eyes on Jackson HoleEURUSD prepares for the sixth consecutive weekly fall as ECB and Federal Reserve bosses prepare for the annual showdown at the Jackson Hole Symposium. That said, the Euro pair remains pressured within a one-month-old descending trend channel amid downbeat RSI and MACD conditions, which in turn suggest less downside room and highlights the stated channel’s bottom line of around 1.0785 as the key support. In a case where the sellers dominate past 1.0790, the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement of May-July upside, near 1.0770, will act as the final defense of the buyers, a break of which will direct the prices toward May’s bottom of 1.0635.
On the contrary, a fortnight-long falling resistance line, close to 1.0880 at the latest, guards immediate EURUSD recovery within the bearish channel formation. Following that, the mentioned channel’s top line of near 1.0980 and the 200-SMA surrounding 1.1015-20 could test the Euro buyers before giving them a charge. In that case, the monthly high of 1.1065 and the late July peak of 1.1150 may check the upside moves ahead of directing the quote to the yearly top of 1.1275.
Overall, EURUSD bears appear running out of steam but the buyers need strong reasons to retake control, which in turn highlights the central bankers’ speeches at the key event for the pair traders to watch.

PostMortem on BankNifty Today & Analysis of 22 MAY 2023First time in many weeks, banknifty underperformed nifty50. Ideally this move should have come last week when nifty50 had 2 more resistances to break and banknifty was near ATH. Better late than never.
Nifty50 shooting pass banknifty is actually good for the entire stock markets in India. Only when all the components have caught up - a bullish trend is synchronized. This will pave the way for further breakouts.
Friday we went home with the news that Rs2000 denominated currency notes are getting removed from circulation w.e.f Sep 30 2023.
Theoretically this should be good news for the banks - approx. 2-3 lakh crore stashed cash is going to return to the banking sector. Majority of this will flow into fixed deposits, debt mutual funds, equity mutual funds & stocks. From a formal economic perspective - this may be the best decision ever made. Ideally Rs500 currency also should be withdrawn in the next 3 to 5 year (according to me) so that the digital migration will gain more momentum.
Having said that, I assume the economists & advisors has taken into consideration what will happen to the informal economy which is the silent backbone of real economic activity in India. Nobody has any clue how much of turnover is happening there - but its still huge!
Kirana shops, road side vendors, dalals, brokers, drivers, maids, caretakers, chaiwalas etc are all from the informal sector. I am not really sure how many of them even have a bank account, leave alone financial investment opportunities.
My grandfather used to carry cash with him, keep some in almari & some in the cash-pot near pooja room. Usually when the number of notes goes up - he exchanged it for the highest denomination available & stored it. He did not use a bank account then! I assume there would be lot of people in India who does the same even today (hope they get saved).

Coming back to our analysis, as per the options data there was lot of fresh shorts taken at CE side. Mostly in the afternoon session. This contradicts with the nifty50 view which has got some new hope as the H&S pattern was negated today.
The encircled traded region which just nullified a bearish chart pattern would have caused lot of momentum shift. Again as per options data shorts were created on the PE side.
As I see it, market participants are long on nifty and short on banknifty. A real tough scenario to play out as banknifty has 38% weightage. Possible options are niftyIT to outperform (12% weightage) along with Reliance (10%) & LT + ITC (8%).
This should be a mega fishing week for the option sellers as a strong breakout could only emerge if there is short-covering on banknifty. Nifty by itself may not be able to pull all the weight. Tomorrow's Finnifty expiry may lead the way when few positions in HDFC & Bajaj twins gets unwound.

15mts is in a range based trade as of now which kind of makes it a good reward:risk for non-directional option strategies ultra short term.

1hr shows the trading range getting narrowed, the lows are getting shifted higher and the highs are getting lower. What follows is usually a range expansion. Chart may say the break would be on the upside, but the reality could be dependent on even macro/news events. EURUSD remains on the bull’s radar beyond 1.0900EURUSD prins mild gains within a one-month-old bullish channel even as RSI eases from the overbought conditions. That said, the impending bear cross on the MACD joins the major currency pair’s inability to stay beyond 1.1000 to lure sellers. However, a clear downside break of the stated channel’s bottom line, close to 1.0900 at the latest, becomes necessary for the confirmation of downside bias. Even so, the 50-SMA and an ascending support line from early January, respectively near 1.0745 and 1.0585 in that order, appear tough nuts to crack for the pair sellers before retaking the control.
Meanwhile, the EURUSD recovery needs to sustain above the 1.1000 psychological magnet to convince buyers. In that case, the aforementioned channel’s top line, close to 1.1100, may test the upside momentum. Should the Euro price remains firmer past 1.1100, the 61.8% Fibonacci Expansion (FE) of its between November 10, 200 and March 15, 2023, near 1.1200, could lure the upside momentum. During the run-up, the late March 2022 top surrounding 1.1185 can act as an intermediate halt.
Overall, EURUSD bulls appear to run up out of steam but the bears have a long and bumpy road before taking control.

Bull flag keeps USDCAD buyers hopefulUSDCAD grinds lower inside a bullish chart pattern. That said, the 50-DMA hurdle surrounding 1.3570 guards the Loonie pair’s immediate upside before highlighting the flag’s upper line, around 1.3620. In a case where the quote rises past 1.3620, the odds favoring a run-up toward the monthly high of 1.3976 and then to the 1.4000 psychological magnet can’t be ruled out. Following that, the theoretical run-up challenging the previous peaks marked in 2020 and 2016, near 1.4670, could be expected.
Meanwhile, the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of June-October upside, near 1.3250, could restrict short-term USDCAD downside ahead of the tops marked in July and early September, near 1.3220 and 1.3210 in that order. Should the quote drops below 1.3210, the 1.3200 round figure will precede the stated flag’s bottom line, surrounding 1.3115, to challenge the pair’s further downside. It’s worth noting, however, that the bear’s dominance past 1.3115 won’t hesitate to recall August month’s low of 1.2727 to the chart.
