Consolidation Midweek Rally #8I wanted the price to break last week’s high to confirm that it was moving upward, and this happened on Tuesday. I decided to wait for Wednesday, specifically after 2:30 PM NY time, to see if the price would return to the 15-minute order block. However, that didn’t happen. Instead, the price formed a double bottom, and below it, there was a 4-hour order block and the high of the mitigation block. Seeing this, I chose to step back and not trade. On Friday, I also didn’t trade because I avoid trading after three consecutive daily candles, even though I expected the price to create the high of the week on that day.

Market Year Wrap 2024: Key Highlights and Outlook for 2025Market Year Wrap 2024: Key Highlights and Outlook for 2025 The year 2024 has been a transformative period in the global financial markets, characterised by a mix of challenges and opportunities. Inflation battles, monetary policy shifts, economic uncertainties, and surprising bouts of optimism dominated the landscape. These forces created a volatile yet dynamic environment where some markets flourished while others struggled under significant pressure. From central bank interventions to geopolitical developments and technological advancements, every corner of the financial world experienced notable activity. In this article, we will take a detailed look at the major trends and events shaping the global economy in 2024 and provide insights into what lies ahead in 2025. Inflation and Interest Rates: A Balancing Act In 2024, inflation showed signs of moderation globally. In the United States, it stabilised around 2.7%, marking a notable shift that bolstered market confidence and set a cautiously optimistic tone for the broader economy. Throughout the year, rate cuts dominated monetary policy discussions. Following the unprecedented rate hikes implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, major central banks began scaling back rates. However, they had to walk a tightrope between a complex landscape of lower but still stubborn inflation and resilient labour markets and the necessity for monetary easing. The magnitude and pace of these cuts varied significantly, reflecting differences in economic conditions across regions and creating complex relationships in the forex market. Analysts widely anticipate that policymakers will adopt a more measured approach to easing monetary policy as 2025 unfolds. Most developed market central banks, excluding Japan, are expected to reduce interest rates to neutral levels by the year's end. However, if economic conditions deteriorate more than anticipated, there is potential for central banks to push rates below neutral to support growth. The Fed, in particular, faces a delicate balancing act, as it must carefully navigate potential policy developments—such as trade tariffs—that may not ultimately materialise. At the same time, any resurgence in inflationary pressures could prompt a shift toward a more restrictive rate trajectory in 2025 and beyond, further complicating the policy landscape. Forex Market: A Year of Divergence Currency markets in 2024 were shaped by a combination of monetary policy shifts, economic recovery efforts, and political developments. The US dollar experienced a rollercoaster year, initially depreciating against major currencies as markets anticipated the Federal Reserve’s first rate cut since the COVID-19 pandemic. However, it rebounded toward the end of the year, influenced by post-election optimism and expectations of protectionist trade policies under the Trump administration. The British pound demonstrated resilience throughout 2024, supported by the Bank of England’s patient and measured approach to monetary policy. Despite potential rate cuts, the pound maintained its strength, reflecting confidence in the UK’s economic fundamentals. In contrast, the euro faced significant headwinds. The ECB’s aggressive easing measures widened interest rate differentials with the pound and the dollar, weakening the euro. By the end of the year, trade uncertainty stemming from potential US tariffs weighed heavily on the euro, given the Eurozone’s dependence on global trade. The Japanese yen experienced mixed fortunes, bolstered by the Bank of Japan’s decision to raise its benchmark interest rate to 0.25%, the highest level since 2008. This move provided much-needed support for the yen, although concerns about potential US trade policies created downside risks. Meanwhile, commodity-linked currencies such as the Australian and Canadian dollars saw fluctuations driven by interest rate differentials, global trade dynamics and their respective economies' ties to the United States and China. Analysts caution that President Trump’s tariff policies could intensify the overvaluation of the US dollar in 2025, potentially heightening the risk of global financial instability. The prospect of trade restrictions may add complexity to an already volatile economic landscape. Commodity Markets: Precious Metals Shine, Oil Struggles Commodity markets have seen a resurgence in investor interest. According to data from WisdomTree and Bloomberg, the proportion of investors allocating resources to commodities rose to 79% in 2024, compared to 71% in 2023—an expected rebound after a challenging year for commodities in 2023. Precious metals, particularly gold and silver, emerged as top performers. As of time of the writing on 11th December, gold prices surged by over 30%, while silver outpaced gold with a 35% gain. Several factors drove these impressive performances, including geopolitical tensions, economic uncertainties surrounding the US presidential election, and strong demand from emerging market central banks. According to analysts, these factors should continue supporting precious metals in 2025. Natural gas prices also experienced significant growth, rising 30% to 50% across major markets in Asia, Europe, and North America. Colder weather forecasts have fueled demand, particularly in Europe and Asia. Analysts suggest that this bullish sentiment in gas markets is likely to persist through the winter, with prices unlikely to see significant declines until well into 2025. However, high gas prices are expected to increase power costs globally, straining fragile economic growth in key regions such as China and Europe while rekindling inflationary concerns. Oil, however, faced a challenging year despite geopolitical crises and production cuts. One of the reasons is a weak demand, particularly from China. In the United States, gasoline inventories exceeded long-term seasonal levels. According to analysts, the growing transition to electric vehicles in developed markets represents a long-term challenge for oil demand. Although some analysts anticipate a recovery in 2025 as OPEC+ production cuts take effect and geopolitical risks persist. Stock Markets: Tech Leads the Charge The US stock market delivered robust performances in 2024, reaching new record highs, with the technology sector at the forefront. Innovations in artificial intelligence (AI) played a pivotal role in driving growth, with major companies such as Microsoft, Nvidia, and Amazon reporting strong earnings. This momentum boosted broader indices, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 recording gains of 28.57% and 27.4%, respectively, as of 10th December. The broader market also benefited from declining inflation, interest rate cuts, and better-than-expected corporate earnings. These factors may contribute to the stock market growth in 2025. However, stretched valuations temper some of the optimism, and concerns about potential trade tariffs add a layer of uncertainty. Looking Ahead to 2025: Key Market Drivers As we look ahead to 2025, several critical factors are poised to influence the direction of financial markets. Central Bank Policies Central banks will remain pivotal in shaping financial markets in 2025. The balance between maintaining growth and addressing inflationary pressures will be a key theme for central banks throughout the year, influencing the strength of equity markets. Interest rate differentials will play a significant role in determining currency movements. Global Economic Recovery The global economy is expected to continue rebounding from pandemic effects. GDP growth, employment trends, and trade balances will be key factors influencing financial markets. Trade War Uncertainty Potential trade tariffs pose a significant risk. The scope, products, and geographies targeted will determine the impact on global GDP, inflation, and interest rates. Any escalation in trade tensions could disrupt markets and strain economic recovery. Artificial Intelligence and Innovation AI and emerging technologies may drive productivity gains, offering an upside to global growth. By boosting efficiency and reducing costs, AI could also exert disinflationary pressure, influencing economic dynamics in the long term. Geopolitical Tensions Geopolitical risks, including trade disputes and political conflicts, remain unpredictable but could disrupt markets. Final Thoughts: Embracing Opportunities Amid Volatility The year 2024 brought its share of challenges and opportunities, showcasing the resilience and adaptability of global markets. From navigating geopolitical uncertainties and evolving monetary policies to embracing the transformative potential of technologies like artificial intelligence, market participants faced a dynamic landscape. Looking ahead to 2025, the horizon offers new opportunities. Continued advancements in innovation, shifts in economic policies, and the resolution of key global tensions could set the stage for exciting market fluctuations.

USD/JPY Short term Buy read what below 1) Short Term (Maximum One Month) Rating: Buy Average Target Price: 153.00 - 155.00 Justification: Economic Data: Recent US economic data reports, including CPI and employment figures, have been strong, suggesting a resilient economy, which generally supports a stronger dollar. Interest Rates: The expectation of the Federal Reserve maintaining a hawkish stance with potential rate hikes creates upward pressure on the USD against the JPY, especially as the Bank of Japan (BoJ) shows reluctance to adjust its significantly lower rates. Market Sentiment: Analyst projections indicate a bullish trend for USD, with reports highlighting robust performance in USD over major currencies and a potential target nearing 155.00. Geopolitical Stability: The US dollar is considered a safe haven amidst geopolitical uncertainties, maintaining demand over the JPY. 2) Medium Term (6-12 Months) Rating: Hold Average Target Price: 150.00 - 152.00 Justification: Economic Outlook: While the USD looks strong in the near term, medium-term trends suggest some volatility as markets adjust to the Fed's policy changes. Exchange Rate Dynamics: Analysts indicate that USD/JPY may trade in a range as US economic growth faces headwinds from potential recession fears leading into the latter half of 2025. Inflation Impacts: If inflation remains stubbornly high, the Fed may need to adjust rates further, but this could lead to economic slowdowns in the US, impacting growth and therefore the USD. Bank of Japan Policy: Any shift in the BoJ’s policy, especially if it decides to hike rates, would impact the USD/JPY exchange rate and could stabilize the yen against the dollar. 3) Long Term (2-5 Years) Rating: Sell Average Target Price: 140.00 - 145.00 Justification: Economic Shifts: Over a horizon of 2-5 years, structural changes in the Japanese economy might lead to stronger growth outcomes compared to the US, encouraging a stronger yen. Demographic Trends: Japan’s demographic shifts may compel the government to adopt more aggressive fiscal policies, potentially strengthening the yen. Global Economic Position: As the global economy transitions, shifts in trade dynamics and investment flows could favor the JPY over the USD, especially if US economic dominance wanes. Long-Term Interest Rate Trends: If the BoJ is forced to raise rates while the Fed enters an easing cycle, the relative attractiveness of Japanese securities could enhance the yen’s strength against the dollar. Conclusion The USD/JPY pair is positioned for short-term gains due to robust US economic data and a hawkish Fed stance. However, the medium-term outlook reflects potential volatility and a need for cautious holding, while the long-term perspective suggests a potential depreciation of the USD against the JPY as structural factors evolve. Monitoring economic data, interest rate decisions, and geopolitical developments will be critical in refining these views.

USD/JPY Analysis (30-Minute Timeframe)We are currently breaking out of a black trendline, which could signal bullish momentum. My target focuses on the market open, as I anticipate a bullish move, but I will wait for confirmation after the open. Key levels to watch: First Pink Zone (Target 1): If the price reaches this level, it will form a new higher high, confirming the bullish trend. Second Pink Zone (Target 2): If the momentum continues beyond the first pink zone, this will be the next target, indicating sustained bullish strength. This is a critical setup to monitor, with confirmation needed to ensure the breakout holds.
