On the charts, I review the Nasdaq (range and 24,750 level), the S&amp;P 500 and Dow Jones which are more affected, and a highly stabilized DAX.

Risk Warning: Trading in leveraged financial instruments may expose you to a risk of loss exceeding deposits and is only suitable for experienced clients who have sufficient financial means to bear such risk. Transactions in foreign exchange instruments (Forex), contracts for difference (CFDs), Futures, Stocks, ETFs... are highly speculative and particularly complex and carry a high level of risk due to leverage. You must ensure that you understand how these instruments work and that you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.

As a result, policymakers are going to take their time. The Americans will be deliberating for 48 consecutive hours. Wednesday evening, at 8:30 PM, we\u2019ll finally get the Fed\u2019s speech. Until then, Tuesday is likely to be a very quiet trading day. The market is clearly going to run in slow motion while waiting for what\u2019s next.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, JP Morgan\u2019s chief economist slipped in a statement. Mr. Bruce Kasman tells us that inflation is going to rise. And that global growth will simply slow down. Honestly, an 8th grader could have guessed that with the current state of oil. Anyway, that\u2019s a very well-paid analysis for an ultimately very logical conclusion. We already know there won\u2019t be any rate cuts.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"geopolitics-and-stock-indices-\ud83c\udf0d\">Geopolitics and Stock Indices \ud83c\udf0d<\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s talk a bit about the market\u2019s chart structure. The Nasdaq is holding up very well in its usual price zone. It\u2019s even benefiting a bit from the current war context. Cybersecurity and drone companies are heavily featured in it. My favorite level still remains 24,750 points. The ideal scenario? Pushing above it and quietly bouncing off it right at the open.<\/p>\n<p>Conversely, the Dow Jones is suffering a lot more right now. Faced with maritime uncertainties, industrial companies and insurers are taking a hit. Donald Trump actually claims he can secure the area with a coalition. But finding solid volunteers is quite complicated. France did send its aircraft carrier to the Mediterranean. However, it remains very cautious and is observing from afar. As a result, the Dow Jones has hit its lowest point of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Over in Europe, the CAC 40 is a bit depressed under 8,000 points. Consequently, nobody really wants to buy it or sell it anymore. The German DAX is doing significantly better. It is tightly boxed in between 23,400 and 23,600 points. The situation there is therefore much more stabilized.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"the-inertia-of-commodities-and-cryptos-\ud83d\udee2\ufe0f\">The Inertia of Commodities and Cryptos \ud83d\udee2\ufe0f<\/h2>\n<p>The asymmetry of the situation is reflected across three major assets:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Oil is bordering on $100, dampening hopes regarding inflation.<\/li>\n<li>Bitcoin is clinging to $71,000, stuck below a strong resistance.<\/li>\n<li>Gold is correcting as the general panic slowly subsides.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Basically, all of this works exactly like a spring. At the beginning of a conflict, everyone urgently looks for a safe haven. Then, after three weeks, incredible human adaptability kicks in. Fear gently diminishes. However, pay attention to the technical signals. If gold breaks its 5,000 support, the market will get anxious.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>In summary, preserve your capital and avoid exposing yourself before Wednesday. A good mental framework will be of the utmost importance. Discipline will undeniably be your best ally for trading well this week. By the way, I have to go, I\u2019m already late to teach my class!<\/p>\n<p><div style=\"margin-top: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"encart\">\n<p>Benoist Rousseau<br \/>\nTrader \u2022 CME Member \u2022 Economic History Specialist<\/p>\n<p>About the author<br \/>\nBenoist Rousseau is a trader, member of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) and the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT), an economic history specialist educated at the Sorbonne and an experienced educator.<br \/>\nIn the GOOD MORNING TRADING series, with over 30 years of experience, he shares his independent analysis of global financial news every morning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><div style=\"margin-top: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>Sign up for the newsletter and receive a $100 USD gift token<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<p><getresponse-form fields=\"email,name\" form-id=\"58f316f9-64b8-49e1-9eb9-dce612bfba6c\" e=\"0\"><\/getresponse-form><\/p>\n<p><div style=\"margin-top: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"tiers-clic tiers-ausha\" data-tiers-js=\"https:\/\/player.ausha.co\/ausha-player.js\"><template class=\"tiers-src\"><iframe name=\"Ausha Podcast Player\" frameborder=\"0\" loading=\"lazy\" id=\"ausha-DmwZ\" height=\"420\" style=\"border: none; width:100%; height:420px\" src=\"https:\/\/player.ausha.co\/?showId=A3nOvHk1pgeM&#038;color=%23751CBF&#038;display=horizontal&#038;multishow=false&#038;playlist=true&#038;dark=false&#038;v=3&#038;playerId=ausha-DmwZ\"><\/iframe><\/template><p class=\"tiers-avis\">By starting the player, you accept Ausha&#039;s cookies.<\/p><button type=\"button\" class=\"tiers-btn\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M8 5.5v13l11-6.5z\" fill=\"currentColor\"\/><\/svg><span>Listen to the episode<\/span><\/button><\/div><\/p>\n<p class=\"tiers-avis tiers-avis--haut\" data-lyte-avis hidden>By starting the video, you accept YouTube&#039;s cookies.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Tense Week Ahead: Central Banks and Analysis This week, every financial market is holding its breath a little.
