EUR/USD stays offered, breaks below 1.1400…again
EUR/USD adds to Tuesday’s slight losses and drops below the 1.1400 yardstick in the latter part of Wednesday’s NA session. The pair’s decline comes in response to the persistent recovery in the US Dollar, which seems to have met extra support following the cautious tone from Fed’s Warsh in his comments at the ECB Forum.
USD/JPY loses momentum, hovers around 162.40
USD/JPY now faces renewed downside pressure and slips back toward the 162.40 region on Wednesday, clinching modest losses for the day. Verbal intervention from Japanese officials has done little to curb the pair's advance, as the wide interest-rate differential between Japan and the US continues to favour carry trades.
Gold retreats from tops, back to the sub-$4,100 zone
Gold keeps the bullish performance in place on Wednesday, although is now giving away part of its earlier advance past the $4,100 mark per troy ounce. The precious metal’s marked rebound comes despite the US Dollar’s bid bias, higher US Treasury yields across the curve and positive headlines from the Middle East.

The Nasdaq 100 spent the past few sessions recovering strongly from its November lows, rebounding from 24,307 and climbing back into the 25,100–25,150 mid-range zone.

The habits that actually separate consistent traders from everyone else
There's a version of every trader who shows up at 3 a.m., wide awake, replaying a trade that closed six hours earlier. Recalculating what should have happened. Knowing, somewhere underneath the recalculation, that the strategy wasn't the problem.
