Although a one-week-old ascending trend line challenges gold bears of late, repeated failures to cross the 200-SMA signals further hardships for buyers. Even if the quote rises past the 200-SMA hurdle of $1,668, the 50% Fibonacci retracement of the metal’s late August-September downturn, around $1,690, appears a tough nut to crack for the bulls. Additionally, the...
EURUSD jostles with a four-month-old resistance line, as well as the 50-DMA, respectively around 0.9870 and 0.9900, as it lures buyers near a fortnight top. Given the firmer RSI and bullish MACD signals, the major currency pair is likely to refresh the monthly top, currently around the parity level. In doing so, September’s peak surrounding 1.0200 will be crucial...
Gold braces for the second weekly loss but the bears appear hesitant around the yearly low. On the top of that, a bullish triangle formation and nearly oversold RSI suggest that the metal may witness a bounce. Hence, a convergence of the monthly horizontal resistance and the three-week-old descending trend line, forming part of the bullish triangle, around $1,643,...
After staying off the bear’s radar during the first two days of the week, EURUSD returned to the red zone as it broke the weekly support line. The trend line breakdown joins downbeat oscillators to keep sellers hopeful of meeting an upward-sloping trend line support from September 28, around 0.9670. The quote’s further downside, however, will be challenged by the...
AUDUSD rebounds inside a three-week-old falling wedge bullish chart formation and it becomes more important for the short-term buyer’s return as the quote is around the 2.5-year low. It should, however, be noted that only an upside break of 0.6290 hurdle won’t be enough to convince bulls as a horizontal area surrounding 0.6345-65 appears a tough nut to crack for...
USDJPY poked the year 1998 high on Thursday while piercing a weekly resistance line, staying near the immediate resistance line of late. That said, the RSI is overbought as the pair struggles with the 24-year high near 147.70, which in turn suggests hardships for the further upside move. If the quote crosses the 147.70 hurdle, its run-up towards an upward-sloping...
A two-month-old previous resistance line defends gold buyers as they seek clarity ahead of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data. Also keeping the metal bulls hopeful is the 50-SMA’s piercing of the 200-SMA from below, known as the bull cross or golden cross. It’s worth noting, however, that the recovery remains elusive unless the bullion stays successfully...
EURUSD bears take a rest around the two-week-old horizontal support area while waiting for this week’s key catalysts, namely FOMC Meeting Minutes and US CPI. That said, sluggish RSI and bearish MACD signals join the quote’s sustained trading below the 50-SMA to keep sellers hopeful. However, a clear downside break of the 0.9665-50 region appears necessary for the...
EURUSD defends the first weekly gain in three around the 20-year low during early Monday. The recovery also gains support from the RSI and the MACD. However, an downward sloping resistance line from September 12, around 0.9830 by the press time, challenges the immediate upside moves. In a case where the quote rises past 0.9830, the 200-SMA and the 61.8% Fibonacci...
Gold braces for the first weekly gain in three while bouncing off a two-year low inside a one-month-old bearish channel. That said, the metal’s latest recovery approaches a fortnight-old hurdle surrounding $1665. Any further upside, however, will be challenged by the stated channel’s upper limit, close to $1,680. If the buyers manage to defy the bearish chart...
USDJPY has been navigating inside the 300-pip trading range at a 24-year high in the last three weeks. Despite the yen pair’s latest inaction, the lower low on prices joins the lower bottom on the RSI (14), which in turn joins firmer MACD to keep the buyers hopeful. However, a clear upside break of 144.75, comprising the 78.6% Fibonacci Expansion (FE) of the...
GBPUSD holds onto the rebound from an all-time low, marked the previous day, amid oversold RSI conditions. The recovery also crossed the previous record bottom printed in 1985. However, the 1.1000 round figure and a downside sloping support-turned-resistance line from May, around 1.1280 by the press time, restricts the Cable pair’s immediate rebound. Also acting...
Although June 1989’s low test EUR/USD bears, a clear downside break of the 2.5-month-old support line, now resistance around 0.9850, keeps sellers hopeful at the lowest levels in 20 years. Even so, the major currency pair stays inside a bearish channel formation established on May 12 and has its support line located around 0.9490 by the press time. Additionally,...
Gold holds lower ground near the yearly bottom as the market braces for the Fed’s rate hike. In doing so, the yellow metal remains inside a six-week-old trend-widening pattern. That said, the quote is likely to stay bearish unless crossing the $1,715 hurdle. Ahead of that, the two-month-long horizontal resistance area surrounding $1,696 and the $1,700 threshold...
EURUSD gyrates between the 50-DMA and a two-month-old support line surrounding the yearly bottom flashed last week. The steady RSI and bearish MACD signals, however, keep the sellers hopeful as markets await the Fed. That said, a downside break of the aforementioned support line, around 0.9850 by the press time may avail an intermediate halt near the 0.9800...
NZDUSD dropped to the lowest level since May 2020 before bouncing off 0.5940 on Friday. The recovery, however, remains unattractive as the Kiwi pair stays inside a six-week-old bearish channel. Even so, the oversold RSI conditions may allow short-term buyers to aim for 0.6100-10 resistance confluence, including the 21-DMA and the stated channel’s upper line. It’s...
Gold renewed the yearly bottom on breaking the fortnight-old support line, now resistance around $1,700, the previous day. The following consolidation, however, remains doubtful even as the oversold RSI challenges intraday sellers. That said, the precious metal drops towards the 78.6% Fibonacci Expansion (FE) of the August 17 to September 12 moves, near $1,662....
On Monday, EURUSD rose past 200-SMA for the first time in a month and formed a bullish channel. However, the following pullback from 1.0197 flirts with the stated channel’s lower line near 1.0130. Following that, the 1.0100 threshold comprising the 200-SMA, could test the pair bears ahead of the key US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for August. Hence, a recovery...
