Emini S&P June futures

  • Emini S&P break above 5780 opens the door to 5810/20 which was hit quickly yesterday

  • Resistance at 5810/20 today & shorts need stops above 5830. Targets: 5790, 5770

  • A break above 5830 is a buy signal & sees 5820/10 then act as support to target 5860 & 5880.

Nasdaq June futures

  • Emini Nasdaq break above 20200 hit targets 20290 & 20350/370.

  • Minor resistance at 20450/500 is key to direction today.

  • A break above 20500 is another buy signal targeting 20560/580 but we should struggle here.

  • Bulls need a break above 20600 for the next buy signal.

  • Holding minor resistance at 20450/500 targets a buying opportunity at 20150/100 & longs need stops below 20000.

GBP/USD defends 1.3550 after UK inflation data

GBP/USD is holding above 1.3550 in Wednesday's European morning, little changed following the UK Consumer Price Index (CPI) data release. The UK inflation eased as expected in January, reaffirming bets for a March BoE interest rate cut, especially after Tuesday's weak employment report.

That said, the fundamental backdrop warrants caution for bulls ahead of the FOMC Minutes, which will look for more cues about the US Federal Reserve's rate-cut path. 

Pi Network rally defies market pressure ahead of its first anniversary

Pi Network is trading above $0.1900 at press time on Wednesday, extending the weekly gains by nearly 8% so far.

The technical outlook focuses on the $0.1919 resistance as bullish momentum increases.
