The Current State of USD/CHF USD/CHF bounced cleanly off support near 0.7890 but is now giving some of that move back. The initial USD bid came as tariff fears cooled, with Trump dialing back threats tied to Greenland, pausing new EU tariffs and outlining a framework for negotiations. NATO comments helped ease tensions further, shifting the focus toward broader Arctic security rather than sovereignty. On the data front, the dollar was supported by another round of strong U.S. numbers. Q3 GDP was revised up to a robust 4.4%, the fastest pace in two years, while jobless claims stabilized around 200k—reinforcing the view that the Fed can stay on hold in January. The current pullback in USD pairs looks more like relative weakness than a broad dollar unwind, driven by strong outperformance in AUD and NZD, which are weighing on the rest of FX. - Alan

Trade small, stick to the plan, and compound over years - don't obsess over short term win/loss streaks. - Nick

2026 is off to a very strong start. - NZDUSD closed out for 155+ pips - Russell2000 trade is floating almost +9R - Gold trade is floating almost +6.5R - JP225 / Nikkei trade is starting off strong - META & AMZN longs from end of last year are holding up well But, I wanted to leave a bit of a note with this. I am experiencing a very strong winning streak - it feels like every trade I take is a winner right now... BUT there will be a time in the future where I feel the exact opposite. There will be and have been times where everything I touch stops out / goes the wrong way. Every strategy has win streaks and lose streaks. Nothing is invincible. In moments like these, it is important not to let it get to your head, and to continue trading with the expectation that a normal drawdown/losing streak is always around the corner. It's not about this trade or the next, it's about the next 1000 trades that matter most.

Will the DXY reclaim its gains? 📈 Chart of the Day: USD/CHF Seems like the CHF basket as a whole is weakening 👀

UK Inflation Surprises Higher The pound is catching a bid after UK inflation surprised to the upside, pushing back against expectations for further BoE rate cuts. Headline CPI accelerated to 3.4%, while sticky services inflation edged higher, reinforcing the idea that domestic price pressures remain firm even as the labor market shows signs of cooling. Meanwhile, the U.S. dollar remains on the back foot as renewed U.S.–Europe tensions tied to Trump’s Greenland rhetoric weigh on confidence in U.S. assets. Markets are watching closely to see whether upcoming remarks restore a “Buy America” narrative or keep pressure on the dollar. Trump on using excessive force: "I won't do that" - Alan

AUD Holds Firm as Markets Eye Jobs Data and Inflation Risk AUD continues it's upward trend as Yields remain elevated. Both AUD and NZD continue to hold relative strength versus major peers as markets await Trump’s Davos speech, which could either cool or reignite Europe-related trade tensions. Focus now shifts back to domestic data. Thursday’s Australian jobs report is expected to show a rebound in employment, with unemployment edging slightly higher and broadly in line with the RBA’s forecasts. The bigger catalyst is next week’s Q4 inflation print. Markets price only a ~30% chance of a February hike, but an upside surprise in core inflation would materially pull forward rate-hike expectations. - Alan

What I love most about this is that the member saw the alert, agreed with the thesis, and took a position of their own — exactly what we aim for inside the community.
