The AUDUSD is building a bearish wedge ahead of the CPI data due out on the 25th in Australia. The market is a little nervous as last week the inflation data out of New Zealand came in well below expectations. The AUDUSD is building a bearish wedge intraday, with lower highs and consistent lows. A break above the .6380 level or below the .6285 level would cause a...
The NZDUSD has broken a key horizontal support at the .5860 level today and has tested the 127% extension of the recent range (end of August to present) at .5815. This is also previous resistance back from October 2022. A move below the .5816 would put the long term 78% retracement and 161% Fibonacci extension at .5732 as the next downside target.
The USDCNH is breaking out of a triangle today ahead of key Chinese data. On Wednesday morning in Asian trade, China will release retail sales, GDP< unemployment rate and Fixed Asset Investment. Ahead of this, the pair is already threatening a move to the key resistance at the 7.3800 level. A level that has capped the market in October 2022 and Sept 2023. A break...
The USDCHF still is trying to complete a double top, so back at the neckline may be a good short from here back below the .9000 level in the days ahead
A lot of times traders like to "assume" something is going to happen without having enough evidence. Them "front run" their own trade idea thinking they are confident they will be right. This is a good example of a pair that needs just a little more ev9idence that a turn is upon us. If you watched the Week Ahead video, at the 17:15 mark, I discussed the risk of...
Even though stocks are higher because of this, don’t get too excited that US 30yr yields look like they have found resistance near term. From the looks of it, we have, at least until Friday when the Non Farm Payroll data is due for release. In the near term, the 5% level capped the rally with the 161% extension just above at 5.05%. The daily RSI was overbought and...
The USDCHF is at risk of a false breakout. The move above the .9150 is quickly reversing today as the sentiment was about as bearish we have seen in recent years (Daily Sentiment Index was at 5 on Wednesday). Price has moved far enough higher to squeeze shorts out of the market and entice new long trades. A close back below .9150 should target the 200dma or...
Intraday Update: The Cable is within 50 pips or so of completing the head and shoulder pattern. it has been so well telegraphed in the markets that the risk is that we start finding buyers between current levels of 1.2130 and 1.2100 that we never reach the projected 1.2070 target, Daily RSI is very oversold, which is becoming a risk for bears. May not be the time...
We have discussed the Russell 2000 head and shoulder pattern and long term double top on many venues, whether this weekend's Week Ahead" video, or on our daily FACE shows, it's a familiar chart. However, the daily RSI has just reached oversold. Oversold and become MORE oversold and the pattern targets are actually towards 2022 lows, but the 78% retracement of the...
The German Bund has finally broken support in the bearish channel and targets the 127% extension of the March 2023 impulsive move higher. Following the ECB last week, and ahead of the FOMC this week, we have yields rallying in the USA with the 10yr note falling alongside the bunds as traders are nervous ahead of the decision. RSI in the Bunds are pointing lower...
The S&P500 (SPX) is at a key resistance level. It is the 78% Fibonacci retracement of the September range, triangle resistance (descending trend line) and also completing an AB=CD equal leg move since September 7th. Intraday RSI has just reached overbought, so it will be interesting if we get a pivot/reversal of a continuation from these levels. A breakout would...
The 10yr notes market made a big reversal today following the CPI data. And this move could continue following the US retail sales tomorrow as economists are expecting a downtick in US consumer spending. We are far from a reversal, but given the big "outside day" bullish reversal candle near key long term support near the 109'00 level, we could see a much bigger...
An "Ascending Wedge" is ultimately a bearish reversal pattern, but that doesn't mean that today is the day it breaks. We are at support, and relative strength RSI is pointing lower, but the index may find support ahead of the CPI inflation data next week. The level to be watching is the resistance at the 35053 level, which is the 61.8% retracement that held the...
The gold market looks like it is developing a descending wedge near term which could spend the next weeks developing below the 1950 level. This would be a compliment to the bullish breakout we are seeing in the US Dollar index near term. Last week the Gold market respected the 61.8% Fibonacci level at 1948, and despite the slight break of the 1950 level, the...
The DXY daily chart is breaking out, and the extensions reach for 105.48 (38% retrace) and 106.08 (127% ext) over time.
The US Dollar showed a reversal following the S&P PMI’s today, this was following weak Eurozone and UK PMI’s earlier today. This does suggest US “exceptionalism” may be coming to an end (for now) and that the US could suffer the same fate as the rest of the world. This move comes just before the Jackson Hole Symposium, which will showcase Federal Reserve Chair...
I have attached a tweet to my chart explaining the channel support and 200dma before we bounced today.
Crude breakdown has a couple implications: 1. Lower low. 2. 38% retrace is at 78.09 3. USDCAD has broken new trend highs and well above 200dma.
