A potentially nice setup is forming on #GBPUSD.
High trading activity around 1.2718 during its prior decline could act as a magnet for prices on the daily.
The 200-day MA has flipped from resistance to support and no immediate signs of a top on price and OBV is confirming the rally.
A strong trend has formed on the 1-hour chart with a potential bull flag. The...
With oil prices having fallen around -25% from the September high, a correction higher may be due.
And as prices failed to hold beneath $70, Wednesday's bullish hammer (which is also a higher low) has caught out eye). The hammer was coupled with above-average volume to suggest demand around $75, and the initial break below $70 was seen on strong negative delta...
Based on the observation that US equity markets tend to perform well heading into Thanksgiving, we decided to take a proper look at the figures. And it turns out, the Wednesday ahead of Thanksgiving tends to average the strongest positive returns of 0.54% with an 80.6% win rate.
The Nasdaq followed its seasonal tendency to rise on Monday, and closed at a...
We've found an interest setup on gold's 1-hour chart. A double bottom has formed just above the weekly pivot point, with a slightly higher low forming a bullish engulfing candle.
Moreover, the cycle low was seen on high volume and strong negative delta (far more sellers than buyers on that 1-hour candle). And this suggests bears could be trapped around that...
Last week's swing trade to $90 worked out well, yet momentum ha since shifted lower.
I noted in the recent COT report that managed funds and large speculators have been trimming long exposure in recent weeks, and that managed funds increased short exposure last week despite the slew of negative headlines surrounding the Middle East conflict. This also...
EUR/CHF posted a decent rally from its October low, yet we're yet to see a meaningful pullback. But one may be near.
A 2-bar bearish reversal has formed at a resistance zone and the 200-day EMA. Tuesday's high is also a lower high in relation to the September high.
From here we're looking for some bearish mean reversion towards the monthly pivot.
What makes...
Gold prices rallied nearly 11% over a 3-week period into the cycle highs. Yet the characteristics of its clean, strong bullish move have been replaced with choppy price action since it failed to hold above $2000.
A shooting star formed on Friday following its false break of $2000 to form a lower high on the daily chart. And this was followed by a bearish...
Whilst USD/JPY remains range-bound within a tight range just beneath 150, GBP/JPY appears to be making a break higher.
The daily chart remains in a strong uptrend and momentum has recently realigned with that trend. Prices have teased the retracement line ahead of the UK open, so we're either looking for prices to break above the prior swing at 138.82 high or...
Yes, the DAX is clearly within an established downtrend on the daily chart. And its drawdown from its record high is relatively shallow at just -11.5% by historical standards - meaning we suspect further losses could be coming.
Yet its failure to break beneath the December high and March low has not gone unnoticed. And given it formed a bullish hammer around...
The Aussie has risen for a fifth day, but it is worth noting that minor rallies tend to peter out around the 5-6 day mark. Price action on the 1-hour chart also suggests the rally could be corrective, against its drop from 65c-63c.
Given a bearish RSI divergence is forming on the 1-hour RSI (14) and the 50-day EMA resides around the weekly R1 pivot, we're...
The Aussie fell in line with our bearish bias last week, thanks to stronger-than-expected CPI data from the US and the Middle East conflict. Yet despite the risk-off sentiment, the Aussie held above 63c last week and formed a bullish engulfing day on Monday.
A bullish engulfing candle also formed on the 4-hour candle, prices are back above the September low and...
We saw the pullback into the support area we were waiting for, around the 200-dar EMA on the 4hour chart and weekly pivot point. A bullish engulfing candle also formed at the end of the session, and whilst prices have gapped lower at the open, we're now looking to enter long and target the resistance zone around $90.
We have a busy claendar today for forex traders, with US producer prices data, FOMC minutes and several Fed members set to speak. Clearly this lineup has the potential for some larger moves on the US dollar, and that helps explain why the 1-day implied volatilty level for EUR/USD is nearly 200% of its 20-day average.
What’s grabed our attention is that DXY has...
Gold has fallen around -7% since bearish pinbar high around 1950, and has done so in a relatively straight line. Yet bearish momentum has receded, and prices are holding above the monthly S1 pivot point. The decline has also failed to test 1800 (a likely solid area of support), which adds to the case we may be due a bounce.
We’re not looking for any home runs,...
Once again we saw AUD/JPY rally above 96 before reversing lower, which is a pattern we have seen occur four times since January 2022. A shooting start reversal formed on Friday and the cross fell around -4% Tuesday’s low, breaking a bullish trendline before finding support at the 200-day EMA, February high and 96 handle.
We’ve seen two modest up days since,...
EUR/USD has managed to retrace further from its YTD low during Thursday’s Asian session, and it looks set to extend its countertrend move (assuming yields retrace lower). A bullish RSI divergence formed ahead of the recent lows, and momentum has turned higher, and it looks like EUR/USD now wants to reach for the 1.05570 – 1.0600 level, near the weekly pivot point,...
We all know that global indices have been under pressure whilst the US dollar and bond yields scream higher. But with the S&P 500 respecting key levels of support and forming a bullish hammer on Wednesday, perhaps it is time for at least a sympathy bounce?
Furthermore, the hammer low perfectly respected trend support and closed above the 200-day EMA, with a...
Gold prices enjoyed their best day in nearly three weeks on Friday, with clear bullish range expansion helping it to rally from the 200-day EMA after finding stability above 1900 on Thursday.
However, Friday's high met resistance at the 50/100-day EMAs and prices pulled back to the 200-day average. Given we have an FOMC meeting looming this week, we might find...
