<p>The major US indices are closing the day with declines across the board. The declines were led by the Dow but the S&amp;P also fell by 1%. The Nasdaq was the best of the worst. </p><p>For the week, the pattern was the same as flow of funds moved into the big tech cap stocks of the Nasdaq. The Dow fell on the week and the S&amp;P had a modest gain. </p><p>A look at the final numbers for the day shows:</p><ul><li>Dow Industrial Average fell -384.52 points or -1.19% at 31861.97</li><li>S&amp;P index fell -43.64 points or -1.10% at 3916.65</li><li>NASDAQ index fell -86.75 points or -0.74% at 11630.52</li><li>Russell 2000 fell -45.34 points or -2.56% at 1725.89</li></ul><p>for the trading week:</p><ul><li>Dow Industrial Average closed near unchanged at -0.15% </li><li>S&amp;P index closed up 1.43%</li><li>NASDAQ index was the big winner with a gain of 4.41%</li></ul><p>The small cap Russell 2000 was actually the worst performer with a decline of -2.64%</p><p>For the NASDAQ index after declining below its 100 day moving average last Friday and again on Monday, the price rebounded to close above its higher 200 day moving average on Tuesday (at 11395.53 currently). Although the price traded above and below the 200 day moving average on Wednesday and Thursday, it took off on Thursday before correcting lower today. Nevertheless being above the 200 day moving average is a positive from a technical perspective for the index. </p>

<p>WTI crude futures are settling down $1.61 or 2.36% at $66.74.</p><p>The high price extended up to $69.83. The low price traded to a new low going back to December 2021 at $65.38.

That’s the largest one week decline since April 2020. The settlement price was just above the 200 week moving average at $66.14.

<p>IN trading today, the EURUSD moved higher in the Asian session, fell in the European morning session , and is moving higher in the US session. </p><p>The move has taken the price positive on the week (it closed at 1.0636 last Friday). Ironically, the close from last week is right near the midpoint of the week’s trading range. However, this week, the pair has its share of ups and downs. </p><ul><li>On Monday the price initially moved higher than lower and then back higher</li><li>Tuesday the pattern was lower than higher.</li><li>On Wednesday after reaching a new high for the week at 1.07592, the price tumbled all the way down to 1.05147 as Credit Suisse became a catalyst and provide a downside tailwind. Expectations for a softer ECB was priced in. </li><li>Thursday the ECB raised rates by a greater than expected 50 basis points. Once again, there was a a volatile up, down and back up day. The price closed higher.</li><li>Today, once again the price moved up and down and back up again. The final move to the upside has taken the pair to new intraday highs.</li></ul><p>Technically, the price rise today has now seen the pair extend above its 100 hour moving average at 1.06583, and the 61.8% retracement of the week’s trading range at 1.06658.</p><p>Today’s catalysts has been lower US rates which has weakened the US dollar. The two year yield is now down 30 basis points at 3.831%. The 10 year yield is down 20 basis points to 3.382%. Yesterday the trend in rates was the opposite with the US yields moving higher.</p><p>What now?</p><p>The bias more positive above the 100 hour moving average 1.0658. On the top side, there is a swing area between 1.06908 and 1.0704. Get above that area would increase the bullish bias.</p><p>Alternatively, move back below the 100 hour <a target=“_blank“ href=“https://www.forexlive.com/terms/m/moving-average/“ class=“terms__secondary-term“ id=“d39a8864-434f-487e-bd1e-f9b895111210″ target=“_blank“>moving average</a> and then below the 200 hour moving average 1.06278, and sellers are back in control.</p><p>Next week the <a target=“_blank“ href=“https://www.forexlive.com/terms/f/federal-reserve/“ class=“terms__main-term“ id=“0139b451-c49a-48a1-8365-838a83595a97″ target=“_blank“>Federal Reserve</a> will meet and announce their rate decision on Wednesday. They also will release the dot plot on rate expectations. </p><p>Currently, the terminal rate implied by the market is below 5% at 4.95%. Recall in December when the last dot plot was announced, the Fed officials had the terminal rate at 5.11%. So traders have taken out one 25 basis point hike from that December. Having said that, a week or two ago, the expectations for the terminal rate was upwards toward 5.75%. People were talking about a terminal rate of 6% or higher.</p><p>That is more dovish of course, but even more dovish is the futures contract for January 2024 are now implying that the Fed will lower rates to 3.95%. That is down about 100 basis points from the terminal rate.</p><p>Before the Fed went into the blackout, comments were about the Fed pushing rates toward 5.25% (and for some above), and then being rates steady for an extended period of time (and certainly not before the end of 2023). Now, the market sees the Fed rate moving down by 100 bps. </p><p>Wednesday will certainly be an interesting day. The volatility seen this week may certainly be a precursor for what we can expect.</p>

<p>In
March NordFX launched another Mega Super Lottery for its clients. The lottery
will run until the end of 2023 and will offer a variety of cash prizes ranging
from $250 to $5000, with a total prize pool of $100,000.</p><p>The
slogan „Your 202+3 Chances to Win in 2023″ was chosen for the lottery
because winners will receive 202 prizes, including three super prizes of $5000
each, in addition to smaller prizes. The total prize pool of $100,000 will be
divided into three parts: $40,000 will be given away in the first and second
draws, and $60,000 in the third, New Year’s draw.</p><p>In
2021 and 2022, NordFX clients had already won $200,000 through the lottery, and
the participation terms lottery remain the same for the 2023. To become a
participant, clients simply need a NordFX Pro account (or to register and open
a new account), deposit at least $200, and start trading.</p><p>Clients
who trade just two lots in Forex currency pairs or gold (or four lots in
silver) will receive a virtual lottery ticket. There is no limit to the number of
tickets each participant can receive. The more deposits and the more actively
clients trade, the more lottery tickets they will have and the greater their
chances of winning a prize.</p><p>The
chances of winning also depend on the date of receiving the lottery ticket.
Tickets awarded from March 1 to June 30 will be entered into the first draw,
tickets awarded from March 1 to September 30 will be entered into the second
draw, and tickets awarded from March 1 to December 31, 2023, will be entered
into the third, New Year’s draw. Tickets received earlier will have a chance to
participate in all three draws, which increases the probability of winning.</p><p>It’s
worth noting that trading experience and success do not affect a client’s
chances of winning. The draw is conducted with a random numbers’ generator, so
both professional traders and beginners have an equal chance of winning.</p><p>Each
draw is conducted online and recorded, and anyone with internet access can
monitor it from anywhere in the world. The correctness of ticket awards can be
checked on <a target=“_blank“ href=“https://nordfx.com/promo/super-lottery-third-draw.html?id=1170457&amp;utm_source=forexlive.com&amp;utm_medium=banner&amp;utm_campaign=lottery“ target=“_blank“ rel=“follow“>NordFX’s official website</a>
where clients can also read the detailed rules for the 2023 Lottery.</p><p>Finally,
it’s important to note that lottery winners receive their winnings as real
money, which they can use for trading or withdraw without restrictions.</p>

<p style=““ class=“text-align-justify“>Once again, just when you thought we might be in for a calmer trading today, there just had to be a twist and it now comes right before we get into North America trading. Bond yields are on the retreat with 2-year yields in the US falling to the lows for the day, down 5 bps to 4.08% while 10-year yields are down 10 bps to 3.48%. This is taking USD/JPY down with it as the pair is down by over 100 pips now to 132.50 levels:</p><p style=““ class=“text-align-justify“>The pair has been struggling to get above its 100-hour moving average (red line) earlier today and this is keeping sellers in near-term control, with sentiment in the bond market vindicating the technicals.</p><p style=““ class=“text-align-justify“>Elsewhere, equities are also starting to come under pressure with European indices paring all of its earlier gains and US futures dropping into the red as mentioned <a target=“_blank“ href=“https://www.forexlive.com/news/equities-start-to-run-into-a-bit-of-trouble-20230317/“ target=“_blank“ rel=“follow“>here</a>.</p>

<p>On the daily chart below, we can
see that the buyers are trying hard to defend the 133 handle as depicted by the
long candlesticks wicks. </p><p>The technicals and the
fundamentals are working against the buyers at the moment though. The <a target=“_blank“ href=“https://www.forexlive.com/Education/technical-analysis-understanding-moving-averages-20220425/“>moving
averages</a> have crossed to the downside, which may be an early signal of a change
in trend. </p><p>The Treasury yields keep falling
as the market is expecting the Fed to stop its tightening cycle soon and
deliver rate cuts earlier than expected. </p><p>The market will now look at the
FOMC meeting next week and the economic data to decide if the trend is indeed
downwards now or the market overreacted to the banking ”crisis”. </p><p>On the 4 hour chart below, we can
see that the selling momentum is weakening as shown by the <a target=“_blank“ href=“https://www.forexlive.com/Education/technical-analysis-understanding-divergence-20220429/“>divergence</a> between the price and the <a target=“_blank“ href=“https://www.forexlive.com/Education/technical-analysis-understanding-macd-20220427/“>MACD</a> right at the 133 <a target=“_blank“ href=“https://www.forexlive.com/Education/technical-analysis-support-and-resistance-20220405/“>support</a>. </p><p>We have also the support from the
50 and 61.8% <a target=“_blank“ href=“https://www.forexlive.com/Education/technical-analysis-using-fibonacci-retracements-20220421/“>Fibonacci
retracement</a> levels of the entire upward move since the
gamechanger February NFP report. The sellers may now try another push lower
towards the 61.8% level expecting a dovish Fed.</p><p>On the 1 hour chart below, we can
see that the price may be forming a <a target=“_blank“ href=“https://www.forexlive.com/Education/chart-patterns-guide-20220125/“>falling
wedge</a> pattern. This is generally a reversal pattern, so the buyers will look
for the price to break above the blue trendline to start piling in with more
conviction. </p><p>We may get another push lower
from the sellers as the Fed next week is expected to hike by just 25 bps
instead of the 50 bps that the market was fearing just a week ago. If the Fed
delivers a hawkish 25 bps hike or even surprises with a 50 bps move, then we
may see a quick rally in the pair. Otherwise, the sellers will remain in
control. </p>

<p>On the daily chart below, we can
see that the key <a target=“_blank“ href=“https://www.forexlive.com/Education/technical-analysis-support-and-resistance-20220405/“>support</a> at 32684 was breached and the
sellers started to pile in pushing the price to new lows. The market fell as
the Silicon Valley Bank failed last Friday causing risk aversion across the
board. On Monday and Tuesday the market rebounded a little as the actions taken
by the Treasury and the Fed calmed the markets. </p><p>Yesterday, the fears came from
Europe as Credit Suisse was once again under stress. Later in the day the SNB
offered support for the bank and the market bounced again. The sellers are in
control, but they are struggling to push lower as expectations of rate cuts are
giving the buyers some fuel to keep pushing up. </p><p>The sellers may want to wait for
the price to pull back to the support now turned resistance, the <a target=“_blank“ href=“https://www.forexlive.com/Education/technical-analysis-trendlines-20220406/“>trendline</a> and the red long period <a target=“_blank“ href=“https://www.forexlive.com/Education/technical-analysis-understanding-moving-averages-20220425/“>moving
average</a> as the <a target=“_blank“ href=“https://www.forexlive.com/Education/technical-analysis-confluence-20220318/“>confluence</a> of all these technicals gives a
strong level where they can lean on with defined risk.</p><p>On the 4 hour chart below, we can
see that the resistance at 32684 has also the 50 and 61.8% <a target=“_blank“ href=“https://www.forexlive.com/Education/technical-analysis-using-fibonacci-retracements-20220421/“>Fibonacci
retracement</a> levels. There’s also a <a target=“_blank“ href=“https://www.forexlive.com/Education/technical-analysis-understanding-divergence-20220429/“>divergence</a> between the price and the <a target=“_blank“ href=“https://www.forexlive.com/Education/technical-analysis-understanding-macd-20220427/“>MACD</a> signalling that the selling
momentum is weak and we may indeed see a pullback. From a risk management
perspective, the best thing to do for the sellers is to wait for the price to
come to that resistance and lean on it with defined risk. </p><p>In the 1 hour chart below, we can
see that at the moment there’s some selling pressure. If we see the buyers
pushing the price above the orange swing resistance at 32245, then we may see
them extend the rally to the 32684 level. On the other hand, if the sellers
manage to break the orange swing low at 31640, then they may extend the
selloff.</p>
