#Bitcoin - 58K is a big liquidation level. Breaks will open the flood gates for a sharp move lower. Bears well in control . You would not want to be @saylor
#USDYEN has cracked 162 and new 40yr highs . Intervention risk is live . Suggest however Japan may wait post US payroll data Thursday. They will waste bullets if the data is strong with market buying #USD . Post data US on holiday and market illiquid. Fri seems a good day to do it.
Japan Finance Minister has held talks with US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent about the yen falling to 40yr lows. Would suggest intervention risk - and potential co-ordinated intervention is live and could happen at any time . Being long #USDYEN at these levels warrants serious caution !
New Fed Warsh said 5yrs of not achieving inflation mandate is not good enough and over. Rate hikes are coming . Next #Fed meeting in 6 weeks . This will be a live meeting and suggest markets havent priced it properly.
FOMC with a new Fed chair tonight the main risk event for the week. Will be the most watched Fed meeting in years ! Will we get a Hawkish or Dovish Kevin Warsh ? Expect decent market volatility .
#BOJ expected to raise rates today to 1% - a 31yr high !
#USDYEN trades above 160 ! If it is still above 160 today post rate hike - pencil in intervention at some stage later this week.
If you wondering why #USD strong and #XAU lower - check US02Y above 4% and US10Y pushing 4.5% . Yields keep going higher these moves in USD and XAU will continue !
Trump has stated he gives the ceasefire "one percent chance of living " post Iran's unacceptable peace offer.
Market doesnt care - trades at record highs .
#NDX#SPX
Crude back above $100 and up almost 6% to start the week. US equity markets are at record highs and dont care . At some point either the crude price is wrong or equity prices are wrong.

RBA meeting today .
Market expects 25bps rate rise. The third this year .
How much more can mortgage holders take ?
Guess we going to find out in months ahead.
Australian CPI data today . Looks like a horror story coming with inflation spiking to 4.7% from 3.7% last month. RBA meets next Tues and a 3rd rate hike this year looks guaranteed. Should be a tailwind for AUD !
