📊 Technical Analysis — April 2, 2026

■ Overall Structure (Conclusion)

The current market environment is very clear:

✔ Broad USD strength
✔ Risk assets (equities & crypto) weakening
✔ Commodities diverging (Oil ↑ / Gold & Silver ↓)

👉 In short:

■ USD-driven one-way market
■ A unique structure where only oil remains strong among commodities


■ FX Market Overview

● Strong (Bullish Bias)

  • USD/JPY → Strong buy
  • USD/CHF → Strong buy
  • EUR/CHF → Strong buy

👉 Clear USD-dominant trend


● Weak (Bearish Bias)

  • EUR/USD → Strong sell
  • GBP/USD → Strong sell
  • AUD/USD → Strong sell
  • NZD/USD → Strong sell

👉 Non-USD currencies are broadly collapsing


● Cross Yen Pairs

  • GBP/JPY → Strong sell
  • AUD/JPY → Strong sell
  • NZD/JPY → Strong sell
  • CHF/JPY → Strong sell

👉 This is NOT simple JPY weakness
👉 It reflects risk-off driven JPY strength


■ Commodities

● Strong

  • Oil → Strong buy (aligned across all timeframes)

👉 Driven by geopolitical risk / supply concerns


● Weak

  • Gold → Bearish
  • Silver → Strong sell

👉 Unusual behavior (USD strength dominating safe-haven flows)


● Others

  • Natural Gas → Downtrend

■ Equity Indices

● Weak

  • Dow Jones → Sell
  • S&P 500 → Sell
  • NASDAQ → Sell
  • DAX → Strong sell
  • CAC40 → Sell
  • Nikkei → Sell

👉 Global equities are in broad correction mode


■ BTC (Bitcoin)

👉 Moving in line with equities
👉 Clear capital outflow from risk assets


🏆 Trade Opportunity Ranking

■ 🟢 Long Opportunities

① USD/JPY
→ Strongest trend (aligned across all timeframes)

② USD/CHF
→ Stable USD strength

③ Oil
→ Only strong commodity

④ EUR/CHF
→ Safe-haven dynamics + EUR imbalance


■ 🔴 Short Opportunities

① EUR/USD
→ Fully broken downtrend

② GBP/USD
→ Strong downside continuation

③ AUD/JPY
→ Risk-off + commodity weakness

④ BTC/USD
→ Direct impact from risk-off flows

⑤ Silver (XAG/USD)
→ Among the weakest assets


■ Market Essence (Key Insight)

This structure is highly unusual:

■ Typical Risk-Off

  • Risk-off → Gold rises

■ Current Situation

  • Risk-off → Gold falls

👉 This implies:

✔ Exceptionally strong USD
✔ Capital is concentrating into USD


■ Strategy Summary (Pro Perspective)

■ Core Strategy

👉 Stay aligned with USD strength


■ Priority

① Long USD pairs
② Short non-USD pairs
③ Long oil
④ Short equities & BTC


■ Risk Factors

  • USD/JPY → Intervention risk near 160
  • Oil → High volatility (sharp reversals possible)
  • Equities → Short-term rebounds possible

■ One-Line Summary

👉 “USD dominance × Risk asset collapse × Oil as the only outlier”
