On EURCHF and SNB Intervention Potential

Watching $EURCHF closely here. It's been range-bound for a while, but the recent move back up to 0.9405 has me thinking. Given the SNB's history, they are notoriously sensitive to a strengthening franc, and 0.9400 has felt like a psychological barrier for some time. I'm putting the odds at about 60% that we see some form of verbal intervention, or even a subtle shift in rhetoric, if $EURCHF pushes firmly above 0.9420 and holds for a couple of days. They've shown a willingness to act, albeit subtly, even without explicit targets. It's not about them drawing a line in the sand like in the past, but more about managing expectations and preventing a run-up that could choke off their exports. The domestic inflation picture isn't screaming for a stronger CHF, so I don't see them just letting it rip higher unchecked.

Predicting BDL's trajectory by month-end

Looking at $BDL's recent performance, specifically the day's range of 48.21–49.9 and current price at 48.73, I'm leaning towards it closing May within a 47-51 range. I'd put the odds of it touching 52 at least once before month-end at around 30-35%. The upside momentum has been fairly consistent, but there's a strong resistance area around 50-51 that has historically capped rallies. A push past that would require significant news or broader market tailwinds.

Predicting MRVL's next major resistance test by end of Q2

Considering $MRVL's recent momentum, closing at 234.33 today after a solid 5.54% jump, and having touched 240.18 intraday, I'm thinking about the probability of it retesting its all-time highs around 260-265 before the end of Q2. Earnings are still a bit out, but the sector seems to be finding its footing. My rough odds for seeing $MRVL hit or exceed 255 by June 30th are about 60%. The underlying demand for AI-related infrastructure chips, which $MRVL is heavily involved in, doesn't seem to be slowing, and while today's move was strong, it feels like there's still some room for upward revision on growth forecasts. The risk, of course, is a broader market pullback or any sudden competitor news, but the trend looks favorable for now.

Thoughts on EURCAD for month-end close

Been watching $EURCAD quite a bit lately, and it feels like we're in a bit of a tug-of-war here. We've been hovering around the 1.6049 mark, bouncing between 1.60416 and 1.60688 today, and it's making me wonder where we might settle by the end of the month. Looking at the broader picture, the market seems to be digesting a mix of conflicting signals from both sides of the pond.

My gut feeling, just based on the current range-bound action and some of the underlying economic data coming out, is that we're likely to see $EURCAD close out July somewhere between 1.6020 and 1.6100. I'd put the odds of that happening at around 65-70%. There's enough support just below current levels to prevent a major capitulation, but also enough resistance to keep it from shooting past 1.61, unless we get some unexpectedly strong data or a significant policy shift before then. It's not a strong directional play, more of a consolidation forecast.

Thoughts on $NATGAS holding above 2.70 through next week

Looking at the current $NATGAS price, holding around 2.712, I'm leaning towards a higher probability of it staying above the 2.70 mark through next week's close. We've seen a bit of consolidation here, and while the seasonal trends aren't screaming for a massive rally, the daily range has been fairly contained. I'd put the odds at around 60-65% that we don't break significantly lower and close below 2.70 by Friday. The primary risk, of course, would be an unexpected shift in short-term weather forecasts or a build in inventory that surprises significantly to the upside, but absent those, the current price action feels somewhat sticky.

CORN Futures Hitting $19 by Month-End?

Looking at the recent action in $CORN, especially with today's strong move, I'm thinking about the probability of us seeing $19 before month-end. We're currently at $18.26, and the day's high of $18.295 shows good momentum. Weather patterns in key growing regions are still a significant unknown, and supply chain bottlenecks, though improving, could still cause volatility. I'd put the odds of hitting $19 by the end of the month at around 60%. There's enough upward pressure from demand projections and lingering supply concerns, but a downside surprise on weather or a sudden influx of inventory could easily cap further gains. It feels like we're approaching a critical inflection point where either a breakout or a consolidation phase could occur. Interested to hear if others are seeing similar signals or if I'm perhaps overestimating the bullish sentiment.

PLTR: Range for October 2024

Considering the current market dynamics, particularly the ongoing shifts in tech sector valuations and Palantir's recent performance trajectory, I'm looking at $PLTR's potential range for October 2024. The stock is trading at 174.04 right now, having seen a daily range of 173.84–180.18. While the broader market sentiment remains a significant factor, Palantir's increasing government contracts and enterprise AI adoption are providing a robust underlying narrative.

My take is that we'll likely see PLTR consolidate within a tighter range than some of the more volatile tech names. I'd put the probability of $PLTR trading between $160 and $195 by month-end October 2024 at around 70%. Below $160, I think the downside catalysts would need to be pretty substantial, like a significant contract loss or broader market correction. Above $195, we'd probably need some unexpected positive news, perhaps a major new product launch or a beat-and-raise on earnings projections. The current price action seems to suggest a period of digestion after its recent moves, and that generally favors a range-bound outcome.

EURCAD's Rocky Road to 1.61 by Month-End

Alright folks, another spin on the crystal ball here, focusing on $EURCAD. Currently sitting around 1.60542, after bouncing off a low of 1.60357 today. I'm putting the odds of us hitting 1.61 by month-end at roughly 60/40 against, so 40% probability, give or take.

My reasoning is less about any seismic shifts and more about the path of least resistance being... well, sideways to slightly down, but with a potential dead cat bounce that falls short. We've seen it chew through resistance at 1.60882 today and then get promptly rejected. The market seems content to hover in this 1.60-1.608 range. While a push to 1.61 isn't out of the realm of possibility – a hawkish ECB whisper, a soft CAD data print – I just don't see the conviction there. It feels like the smart money is content to fade these upper range excursions for now, waiting for a clearer catalyst. There's not enough juice right now to propel us cleanly through, and I reckon any attempt will be met with sellers. Of course, I've been wrong before, usually right before I decide to actually put money on it.

EURCHF dipping below 0.935 by month-end: a contrarian view?

Been watching $EURCHF action, particularly the resilience around the 0.937-0.938 region. Most seem to be betting on a bounce or consolidation here, given how stretched things feel on a daily. However, I'm leaning towards a decent probability (say, 40-45%) of us seeing a print below 0.935 before July rolls in. The SNB's recent rhetoric, coupled with what seems like persistent, albeit subtle, safe-haven demand for CHF whenever global jitters surface, suggests that this floor might be more fragile than it appears. It wouldn't be the first time a perceived support level gives way with an exasperated sigh.

My reasoning isn't fundamentally about a massive EUR deterioration, but more about continued, grind-it-out CHF strength, perhaps even a bit of an opportunistic shove from larger players once the holiday-thinned liquidity kicks in closer to the end of the month. It’s certainly not a high-conviction forecast, but enough to make me pause before joining the long crowd.

Predicting $SI's next move after today's pop

Interesting to see $SI break out today, currently at $20.73. That's a strong move from its $18.88 low this morning. The question now is whether it holds above $20.00. I'd put the odds at about 65% that we see $SI trade above $20.00 by Friday's close. The momentum is clearly there, and while it's up against resistance around the $21.00 mark, the overall precious metals complex looks like it's trying to find a footing. A close above $20.00 would confirm some bullish intent, but I wouldn't bet the farm on it going parabolic from here. It's still choppy out there. We need to see follow-through.

On TOP's sustained momentum post-earnings

Considering the recent movement and particularly today's close at 11.13, holding the gains from earlier. There's a decent chance, maybe around 65%, that $TOP breaches 12.00 by the end of next week. The sentiment seems to be catching, and the range today 10.84–11.34 suggests buyers are willing to step in on dips, which is often a precursor to a higher leg up if general market conditions hold. It's not a certainty, but the setup points towards continued positive pressure.

13

VNM holding 17.00 through month-end - realistic?

Looking at $VNM, currently sitting at 17.16. We've seen a pretty consistent floor around 17.00. Given the intraday range today and the general market sentiment, I'd put the odds of it closing above 17.00 by month-end at about 65%. There's some significant support building around that level, and unless there's a major external shock, the momentum seems to be holding it above. The question is if it can gain any ground, but simply maintaining this base seems highly probable for now. The recent -2.05% drop today isn't enough to break that psychological barrier from what I'm seeing on the charts.

XOP Monthly Close Above 185

Looking at the current momentum in $XOP, closing the month above 185 feels increasingly plausible. We saw a decent move today, hitting 182.4 at its peak. While there's always the risk of a retracement, the broader energy market sentiment seems to be holding up. I'd put the odds of a monthly close above 185 at around 60%. The key will be sustained oil prices and no major geopolitical shifts that could disrupt supply chains.

15

Thoughts on EM breaking 1.2 by end of month

Been looking at $EM lately, and it's been pretty range-bound around the 1.195 area. Given the current global sentiment and some of the recent manufacturing data coming out, I'm leaning towards a higher probability of it testing and potentially breaking above 1.2 before month-end. Not a huge move, but significant enough to call out. I'd put the odds around 65-70% for it to hit 1.2, maybe less likely to hold firmly above it without a fresh catalyst.

The resistance seems to be softening a bit, and there's no major negative news flow that looks set to derail things immediately. Could see a push from momentum if it gets a sniff of 1.2 again. Of course, any unexpected geopolitical news or a sudden shift in central bank rhetoric could easily invalidate this, but based purely on current technicals and the macro backdrop, that's my lean.

มุมมองต่อ $PLTR ในช่วงสั้นๆ ก่อนสิ้นเดือน

ส่วนตัวมองว่า $PLTR มีโอกาสสูงที่จะเห็นราคาลงมาทดสอบแถว 170 หรือต่ำกว่าเล็กน้อยก่อนสิ้นเดือนนี้นะครับ ให้ความน่าจะเป็นสัก 60-65% เลย ด้วยการเคลื่อนไหวช่วงนี้ที่ดูเหมือนขาดโมเมนตัมขาขึ้นที่แข็งแกร่งแล้ว แม้ว่าก่อนหน้านี้จะวิ่งมาดีมากๆ ก็ตาม แรงซื้อช่วงบนๆ ดูจะเริ่มแผ่วลง ยิ่งถ้าพิจารณาจากราคาปัจจุบันที่ 174.04 และช่วงที่วิ่งมาวันนี้นะครับ การพักฐานก็เป็นเรื่องปกติ แต่ดูทรงแล้วน่าจะลึกกว่าที่หลายคนคิดหน่อย ใครที่มองหาจังหวะเก็บ อาจจะต้องใจเย็นรอดูอีกนิดครับ ส่วน $Y นี่คงต้องข้ามไปก่อน เพราะดูไม่มีการเคลื่อนไหวอะไรให้วิเคราะห์เลย

Predicting VNM's March Close - A Probabilistic View

I've been watching $VNM closely this week, and the price action today, dipping to 17.14, has me thinking about its potential for month-end. Given the broader market sentiment and the way it's been testing support, I'd put the probability of $VNM closing above 17.50 by the end of March at about 35%. While there's always potential for a bounce, the current momentum suggests further consolidation, possibly even a retest of 17.00, before any significant upward move.

Predicting if $VNM drops below 17.00 by EOD tomorrow

Been watching $VNM pretty closely today. It's sitting at 17.16 right now after a decent pullback. The daily range has been 17.14–17.255, so it dipped just below its current price already. Considering the overall market sentiment feels a bit soft, and that intraday low just touched 17.14, I'd put the odds of seeing it drop below 17.00 by the end of tomorrow's session at around 65-70%. It feels like there's some underlying pressure, and if the broader market continues to consolidate or retrace, $VNM looks like it could easily follow suit and tag that psychological 17.00 level. Curious what others are thinking.

Predicting EURCAD Movement by Month-End

Looking at $EURCAD currently around 1.6042, it's interesting to consider the probabilities of it touching the 1.62 handle by month-end. We've seen some pretty choppy action lately, with CAD reacting to oil volatility and EUR to various ECB speeches, but the underlying sentiment seems to be for continued CAD weakness in the medium term, albeit with fits and starts.

My take is there's a roughly 40% chance of $EURCAD hitting 1.62 before the end of the month. The momentum hasn't been strong enough to push it decisively through resistance at the 1.61 area, and without a significant catalyst from either side of the pair, I suspect we'll see more consolidation. However, any unexpected hawkish tilt from the ECB or a sustained drop in crude oil could certainly provide the necessary push. Conversely, a strong CAD employment report or a rebound in commodity prices could easily send it back towards the 1.59s. It's a tricky one, but the immediate path of least resistance seems to be ranging rather than a clear breakout just yet.

A look at $EM and the 1.20 mark by week's end

Been watching $EM pretty closely today, hovering around the 1.195 mark. It’s been a bit of a grind, but the intraday high touched 1.20, which suggests there's some underlying interest or at least a test of that psychological level. The question now is whether we can sustain above it.

My take, looking at the recent price action and the broader sentiment around emerging markets, is that there's a roughly 60% probability we see $EM close above 1.20 by Friday's close. The reasoning isn't complex: we've had a few pushes higher that failed to hold, but the retests are becoming more frequent and the dips less severe. If we get any sort of positive news flow, even a minor one, I think it could be enough to tip us over. Conversely, a rejection here could see us retrace towards the lower end of today's range, maybe 1.19, but I'm leaning towards the former.

US30 holding above 53500 into month-end

Considering the current intraday low of $US30 at 53673.47 and the broader market sentiment, I'd put the probability of $US30 closing above the 53500 level at month-end around 70-75%. While there's always potential for a late-month unwind, the underlying support seems reasonably solid, and the dip has been contained so far today. The larger economic data releases coming up are the main wildcard, but a significant break below that prior support seems less likely than a consolidation or modest rebound from here.

11

USDX holding above 25.50 by end of week?

Given the intraday range of $USDX today from 25.51 to 25.58, and its current value holding at 25.58, there seems to be some underlying support forming. While not a massive move, the bounce off the daily low is notable. I'd put the probability of $USDX closing above 25.50 by Friday evening at around 65%. My reasoning is largely based on the relative strength we've seen in the latter half of today's session, coupled with a general market sentiment that isn't pushing aggressively into risk-on assets, which often correlates with a stronger dollar. It's not a conviction play, just an observation of current flow.

On CAD's Standoff with 96 - A Probabilistic Riff

Considering $CAD's current stance at 95.879, I'm thinking the probability of it touching 96.00 before month-end is sitting around 65%. The daily range has been pretty constrained, 95.879–95.879 being particularly 'exciting' today. What's driving this? Mostly the broader USD sentiment and a quiet data calendar. There's not much on the horizon to give it a significant shove either way, suggesting that the path of least resistance for a small technical move like this might just be upwards if the dollar finds any modicum of strength. It's more about the lack of headwinds than any strong tailwinds, really. If we get even a whisper of hawkish sentiment from any Fed speak, that 96.00 level will likely be tapped. Anything more than that, however, feels like a longer shot.

Odds on $EM hitting 1.25 by end of Q2

Been looking at the recent action in $EM and it's holding up surprisingly well around 1.195. With some of the macro tailwinds discussed in other threads, I'm starting to put some probability on a move higher. Curious what others think about the likelihood of seeing $EM touch 1.25 before the end of Q2. I'm leaning towards a 35-40% chance myself, purely based on current momentum and some technical observations around previous resistance turning to support, but would love to hear if others have different reads or data points.

$Y breaking 850 by end of next week?

Watching $Y this week, it's been pretty range-bound. Given its current trading around 847.79 and the general market sentiment, I'd put the odds of it touching 850 by the close of next Friday around 35-40%. We'd need a clear catalyst for that push, maybe some unexpected positive earnings or a sector-wide uplift, otherwise, it feels like it might just chop around its current levels a bit longer. Anyone else looking at this one?
