The euro made considerable ground against its US counterpart on Thursday, after finding active bids around the 1.24 handle (H4 timeframe). Largely ignoring better-than-expected US ISM manufacturing PMI data, the pair, as you can see, concluded the day marginally closing beyond the 1.25 handle and connected with a H4 AB=CD (see black arrows) 127.2% Fib ext. point...
USD/JPY bulls went on the offensive amid Wednesday’s segment, swallowing the 109 handle and reaching highs of 109.44. This recent bout of buying also completed the D-leg to a H4 AB=CD (see blue arrows) 127.2% Fib ext. point at 109.42, located just ahead of the H4 mid-level resistance at 109.50. While selling has already been seen from this angle, it failed to...
The British pound, as you can see on the H4 timeframe, spent Wednesday’s sessions consolidating beneath the 1.42 handle. As projected, the US Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged which failed to generate much movement.
Meanwhile, weekly price continues to reflect a bullish stance above weekly support at 1.4079. Continued bidding from this neighborhood is...
The US Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged on Wednesday, as expected. The Fed, which hiked interest rates three times last year, mentioned the economy warranted ‘further gradual’ increases in rates. The target range for the federal funds rate currently is 1.25%-1.50%.
The impact of the Fed’s decision/statement was somewhat muted on the charts. The euro...
During the course of recent trading, we saw H4 price bounce beautifully from a 127.2% H4 Fib ext. point at 1335.6 and reach a high of 1348.9, before collapsing back to 1335.6. This move was likely bolstered by the fact that a daily support area at 1334.3-1323.3 is seen a few pips below 1335.6, and also considering that weekly price is re-engaging with weekly...
Leaving the 0.94 handle unchallenged, the USD/CHF edged lower on Tuesday, bottoming a few pips ahead of the 0.93 handle. Although the daily Quasimodo support at 0.9330 remains in the fray, buyers are struggling to register anything of note here. This could have something to do with the fact that weekly price shows that the market could potentially drop as far...
Despite the commodity-linked currency ranging over 70 pips on Tuesday, the unit was unable to muster enough strength to push out of its current H4 range. Since Monday, the AUD/USD has been trading between a H4 demand area at 0.8061-0.8081 and the 0.81 handle.
Taking into account that this market is entrenched within a steep uptrend at the moment, and is also...

While this is an incredibly impressive run, we still have to take into account that weekly price...
During the course of yesterday’s segment, the price of gold was met with strong selling from H4 supply at 1364.7-1360.9.

As you can see on the H4 timeframe, the move saw price marginally whipsaw through a daily broken...
In the later hours of US trading on Thursday, the USD/JPY pair printed a sharp recovery from the H4 mid-level support at 108.50, erasing daily losses and reaching a high of 109.70.

After a near-seven week selloff, the weekly candles shook hands with a weekly support area coming in at 0.9443-0.9515 on Wednesday. This area has been in motion since late 2015, so the bears will likely have their work cut out for them! In the event that this area yields to the selling pressure, however, the next objective seen on this scale is drawn from...
Weekly price, as you can see, continues to trade in the direction of a weekly trendline support etched from the low 98.78, followed closely by a weekly support area at 105.19-107.54.
