Weekly gain/loss: - 42 pips Weekly closing price: 1.3165 Weekly view: Things are not looking too bright for any sellers positioned within the supply zone fixed at 1.3295-1.3017 right now. Although the bears do still have a hand in this fight, offers slowly appear to be diminishing. However, it won’t be until we see a decisive close beyond the resistance level...
Weekly gain/loss: - 126 pips Weekly closing price: 100.98 Weekly view: The past week’s performance has, as you can see, placed the USD/JPY back around the support level penciled in at 100.61. This is the pair’s third consecutive losing week. On the assumption that further selling is seen from here, the next area to watch beyond current support is a demand base...
Weekly gain/loss: +136 pips Weekly closing price: 0.7620 Weekly view: After a rather aggressive move north seen last week, prices settled just above resistance coming in at 0.7604, following a rebound off of trendline resistance taken from the high 0.8295. Although price has effectively closed above the aforementioned resistance barrier, we feel a more decisive...
Weekly gain/loss: + 73 pips Weekly closing price: 1.1222 Weekly view: Despite last week’s gains, price remains hugging the underside of a major resistance area seen at 1.1533-1.1278. Although we’re confident that this zone will eventually push the pair lower, it’s difficult to judge when that will be as in the past we’ve seen price consolidate for long periods...
So, for those who read our previous report on the USD/JPY pair you may recall that we highlighted the 100.00/100.21 range (green zone) as a possible buy zone. Given that it merged beautifully with a H4 88.6% Fib support at 100.07, a H4 AB=CD completion point at 100.21 and was positioned around the top edge of a daily demand base seen at 99.53-100.23, it should not...
US stocks rallied on the Fed’s decision to leave interest rates unchanged yesterday, consequently forcing price to breach and close above the current H4 consolidation fixed between 18218/18110. Now, what this also did was bring prices very close to a H4 resistance area at 18321-18349, which is complemented by a daily resistance level coming in at 18322 and also...
Thanks to both the BoJ and the Fed yesterday, the USD/JPY couple dropped close to 140 pips on the day (open/close). Several H4 technical supports were wiped out during the bearish onslaught, leaving price closing the day ahead of the key figure 100.00. Taking into consideration that 100.00 ties in nicely with a H4 88.6% Fib support at 100.07, a H4 AB=CD completion...
The EUR/USD attracted fresh buyers into the market yesterday from a H4 demand logged in at 1.1131-1.1143, following the Fed’s decision to leave monetary policy unchanged. This, as you can see from the H4 chart, saw prices eventually cross swords with a trendline resistance taken from the low 1.1045. United with a nearby psychological hurdle seen at 1.12, the team...
While weekly price has established itself around the top edge of a support area at 1307.4-1280.0, and daily candles have taken root within a demand base at 1305.3-1322.8, medium-term direction, at least technically, is likely to be northbound. As such, with H4 movement seen consolidating within a resistance area registered at 1312.0-1316.0, a close above this zone...
In recent sessions, we can see that the USD/CAD continued to range between a daily support level chiseled in at 1.3135 and a H4 Quasimodo resistance level at 1.3244. While weekly action still occupies the upper limit of a supply zone at 1.3295-1.3017, daily price appears to be relatively well-bid from the aforementioned support level. To our way of seeing things,...
Weekly gain/loss: - 81 pips Weekly closing price: 1.1149 Weekly opening price: 1.1152 Weekly view: From this viewpoint, we can see that last week’s weekly candle turned bearish from the underside of a major resistance area coming in at 1.1533-1.1278. Erasing all of the prior week’s gains, this bearish move could trigger further selling in this market this week....
Kicking off this morning’s analysis looking at the weekly chart, we can clearly see that price is trading just ahead of a support area logged in at 1307.4-1280.0. This, by and of itself, is considered by our team as a warning to be extra cautious about taking shorts in this market. With this in mind, we can see that over the course of this week, the yellow metal...
A string of disappointing UK data hit the wire yesterday, forcing cable to fall sharply into the close. Several technical supports were engulfed during this assault, with price only finding support once it connected with 1.3174, which, as you can probably see, merges nicely with a H4 trendline support taken from the high 1.3371. Now despite this support currently...
Weekly gain/loss: - 446 points Weekly closing price: 18043 Weekly view: A succession of offers flowed into the market last week, resulting in prices punching through the support area at 18365-18158, consequently closing the week on its lows. Further selling from this point could potentially drag the equity market down to a support area carved from 17446-17606....
Weekly gain/loss: - 31 pips Weekly closing price: 0.7535 Weekly view: The past week saw the AUD/USD pair chalk up an absolutely beautiful-looking bearish selling wick. Not only did it pierce through a resistance level seen at 0.7604 but it also managed to extend past a trendline resistance taken from the high 0.8295. From a technical perspective, this certainly...
Weekly gain/loss: - 28 pips Weekly closing price: 1.3261 Weekly view: Following three weeks of gains, the GBP/USD printed a clear-cut bearish selling tail last week just ahead of a resistance area coming in at 1.3501-1.3804. This, along with the predominant bearish trend currently in place, could force cable back down to support at 1.2942 this week. Daily view:...
Weekly gain/loss: + 79 pips Weekly closing price: 1.1230 Weekly view: Although the EUR did see an increase in value last week, we have to take into account that price was unable to close above the prior week’s high, and also rejected from the underside of a major resistance area at 1.1533-1.1278. Seeing as how this zone has managed to cap upside since May 2015,...
The GBP/USD suffered further losses yesterday, following a H4 rotation from the mid-way resistance 1.3350. Wednesday’s low 1.3318 was quickly taken out, allowing cable to breach and eventually close beyond the 1.33 handle by the day’s end. Before we discuss possible setups in this market, let’s take a look at the overall picture. Looking up to the weekly chart,...
