Since March 3, an unprecedented bullish movement has emerged on the GBP/USD daily chart, with the pair accumulating a gain of over 3% during this period.

Today, the market...
Both oil contracts are now lower on the day, giving up earlier gains. From the day's high, WTI is now 2.8% lower and counting as prices test the day's lows. Oil prices moved lower on hints/hopes of peace from the just-finished Trump & Putin talks. The rationale here is that any peace progress would increase the chances of removing sanctions on Russian oil...

Gold remains persistent in targeting its inverted head and shoulders pattern on the daily timeframe, eyeing the 3,040-resistance. However, monthly overbought conditions—seen in 2024, 2020, and 2011—raise caution for potential sharp reversals. • In 2011, an overbought RSI led to a nearly 900-point retracement • In 2020, a similar overbought condition resulted in...

Unlike the Nasdaq and SP500, Dow did not trace the full potential of its double top formation between 2024 and 2025 peaks, yet in a similar manner to the US indices, it rebounded from the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement of the May 2024-Jan 2025 uptrend, coinciding with oversold levels on the 3-Day RSI previously seen in October 2023. The Dow’s rebound from the 40,660...

GBP/USD came very close to a 1.3000 test last week but fell a bit short. To be sure, the bullish breakout in Cable lacks in size and scope to that of the Euro, but with an oversold US Dollar showing potential for pullback, that highlights the possibility of pullbacks in GBP/USD and EUR/USD, as well. In Cable, there's a couple of clear spots of support potential,...
EUR/USD strength continued through the early part of the week, but a big level came into play that ended up holding the high at 1.0943. That's the 50% mark of the 2021-2022 major move, and it's related to the 1.0200 level that came in to hold support in February, leading to a stall in the sell-off that month that pushed into a bullish breakout in March. Bulls...

Despite today's bounce, BTC remains in a broader downtrend, with both the MACD and RSI showing...

Ahead of the UoM consumer sentiment data, the US dollar remains on the backfoot, after this week's weaker inflation data and last week’s sharp decline. The EUR/USD has been among the strongest currencies out there, driven largely by Germany’s ambitious spending plans. Chancellor-in-waiting Friedrich Merz is racing against time to persuade parliament to approve a...
