Market Overview
The latest technical data presents a remarkably clear picture.
The market has shifted decisively toward a
broad-based U.S. dollar rally.
In addition to the existing themes of:
- Rising equities
- Weak Japanese yen
we are now also seeing simultaneous selling pressure across:
- Euro
- British pound
- Australian dollar
- New Zealand dollar
- Gold
- Silver
This is becoming a classic case of
a U.S. dollar dominance market.
Strongest Currency
U.S. Dollar
USD/JPY
160.88
Strong Buy across all timeframes
USD/CHF
0.8038
Strong Buy across all timeframes
This is an exceptionally bullish setup.
Most notably, USD/JPY has remained resilient even after breaking above the 160 level.
Dollar buying remains firmly intact.
Euro
EUR/USD
1.1465
Strong Sell across all timeframes
The euro is currently one of the weakest major currencies.
Short-term, medium-term, and long-term signals are all aligned to the downside.
EUR/JPY
Strong Sell across all timeframes
Despite broad yen weakness, the euro continues to decline, highlighting underlying euro weakness rather than yen strength.
British Pound
GBP/USD
Strong Sell across all timeframes
GBP/JPY
Strong Sell across all timeframes
The pound is under heavy pressure across the board.
In fact, sterling may currently be weaker than the euro.

Strong Sell across all timeframes
NZD/USD
Strong Sell across all timeframes
Risk-sensitive currencies are experiencing significant weakness.
AUD/JPY
NZD/JPY

The Canadian dollar continues to suffer from declining crude oil prices.
Precious Metals

Trading Perspective
The clearest trending opportunities at present are:
Potential Long Trades
- USD/JPY
- USD/CHF
- Nikkei 225
Potential Short Trades
- EUR/USD
- GBP/USD
- AUD/USD
- NZD/USD
- Gold
- Silver
The most striking feature of the current market is that EUR/USD, GBP/USD, AUD/USD, and NZD/USD are all showing Strong Sell signals across every timeframe.
This indicates that the market is being driven overwhelmingly by a single dominant theme:
Broad-based U.S. dollar strength.
At the same time, the Nikkei 225 has advanced beyond 71,000 and continues to rank among the strongest equity indices in the world.
