BRENT – Broke Stuck, Below 77.85 Negative Pressure Strong…
After retracing from 125 levels, Brent, which has been moving within a horizontal area that has been stuck since November 2022, broke down the area it was stuck in and retreated again until the 75.10 level seen on December 9, 2022. In terms of not being the bottom region of the recent time, this region is important and there may be a reaction.

The Japanese Yen, which gained value as a safe haven with the bankruptcy of the bank called SVB in the USA on Monday, was exposed to some sales yesterday. Today, with the emergence of the default risk of Credit Suisse in Europe, it is valued as a safe haven again, and as a result, the USDJPY parity is priced at 132.50.

EUR/USD
EUR/USD – Credit Suisse Incident Created Great Panic in Euro…
We mentioned the importance of 1.0735 for the EURUSD parity at the beginning of the week. The closing of the daily candle above this resistance was important for the continuation of the possible rises, but this did not happen. Today, in the news feed, the CDS premium of Credit Suisse bank exceeded 800, creating a great panic on the Euro side. Although ECB members remained determined to increase interest rates by 50 basis points at the meeting to be held tomorrow, they did not support the Euro and the pair retreated to 1.0530. 200 pips retracement in one day.
As such, the uptrend line from 0.9550 is now being strongly tested with support intent. If the trend and/or 1.0530 support is broken, a strong drop in the pair is possible. Possible reactions are important, but it is difficult to be permanent in this environment in the short term. We will carefully monitor the 1.0530 line.
