USD/JPY weekly trade
USD/JPY short 115.56 and 115.63 to target 114.53. USD/JPY achieved 115.56 and 115.63 yet traded to 116.33 highs or off by 70 pips. For the 3rd time in 11 weekly trades, we're forced to add 1 lot and trade to target. This is a bonus as USD/JPY offers the 3rd time for extra profit pips.
USD/JPY begins next week severe overbought. Today's close price doesn't matter from high 115.00's to 116.00's as USD/JPY will remain overbought.
Overbought GBP/NZD traded lower by 273 pips and 270 for EUR/NZD. GBP/NZD opened this week at 2.0436 and 1.7298 for EUR/NZD or a spread of 3100 pips. Current GBP/NZD trades 2.0383 and 1.7182 for EUR/NZD or 3200 pips. Correct is 2600 which means more big moves at 600 pips are ahead for both pairs.
GBP/NZD big line above is located at 2.0572 and 1.7342 for EUR/NZD. Deeply overbought EUR/NZD is the leader pair to assist GBP/NZD lower.
The winners this week were EUR/AUD as it traded 362 pips from 1.6204 to 1.5842 and GBP/AUD 334 pips from 1.9135 to 1.8801.
For next week EUR/AUD 1.5866, GBP/AUD 1.8836 and AUD/USD 0.7191 are crucial levels for longs and shorts.
JPY cross pairs currently trade in deep overbought except NZD/JPY. GBP/JPY as leader of JPY cross pairs targets easily 155.00's from current 157.00's.
GBP/USD traded a fairly neutral 150 pips this week, overbought GBP/JPY will assist next to take GBP/USD lower. GBP/USD big lines below are located 1.3449 and 1.3375. GBP/USD's problem is it lacks rangeability.
Both AUD/USD and NZD/USD trade oversold and long so far is the way next week. The problem pair for AUD/USD is overbought AUD/JPY while NZD/JPY trades neutral.
Overbought CAD/JPY will assist USD/CAD higher next week.
ECB and rates
Negative interest rates is the model from Silvio Gesell in the 1800's. Gesell was brilliant and factored how and why negative interest rates worked. See btwomey.com for Silvio Gesell writings and Gesell's recommended book the Natural Economic Order.
Negative interest rates are actually positive rates but factored from a scale below 0. The scale changed rather than the rates.
ECB's STIR overnight rate trades -0.572 to -0.55 or 0.428 to 0.45. ECB rates would never trade below FED rates at 0.08 and 0.25. Once the FED raises then the ECB will raise by a corresponding amount to match the FED.
