A sustained break of the 100-SMA and gradually rising RSI line keep EURUSD buyers hopeful as global markets await the key central bank announcements scheduled for the week. Although the European Central Bank (ECB) has more reasons to sound dovish and the Fed hawks are in full swing, Omicron threatens the market expectations and may throw a wild card. That said,...
EURUSD fails to extend the corrective pullback from yearly low beyond 20-DMA and previous support from August. The inability to cross nearby hurdles joins bearish MACD signals and RSI retreat to keep sellers hopeful to revisit the recently flashed multi-day low under the 1.1200 threshold. During the fall, the 1.1200 round figure may offer an intermediate halt...
USDJPY bulls struggle to extend Friday’s bounce towards the immediate hurdle surrounding 50-DMA, near 113.45. The lackluster momentum could also be witnessed through RSI conditions, which in turn favors odds of a pullback to 112.50-45 support confluence comprising the previous support line from March and a three-week-old falling trend line. It’s worth noting that...
Although EURUSD bears keep reins around the yearly, the odds of a corrective pullback can’t be ruled out considering the quote’s ability to stay beyond a three-week-old resistance line, now support, as well as 50-SMA. Also favoring the pair buyers is the firmer RSI line and recently bullish MACD signals. That said, November 18 swing high near 1.1375 acts as...
A clear downside break of June 2020 swing high and 61.8% Fibonacci retracement (Fibo.) of March 2020 to January 2021 upside keeps EURUSD bears hopeful to visit a 20-pip horizontal region comprising March 2020 peak and June 2020 trough. However, oversold RSI conditions may challenge the pair bears afterward, if not then the 78.6% Fibo. level of 1.1000 should be on...

Alike other majors, GBPUSD also cheers US dollar pullback to bounce off yearly low during early Monday. Also favoring the corrective pullback is the 61.8% FE level of the cable pair’s moves from October 19 to November 09. Given the steady RSI line battling the bearish MACD signals, the pair’s rebound towards a two-week-old resistance line near 1.3500 can’t be...

The major currency pair’s weakness could also be linked to the failures to cross the 200-SMA, bearish MACD signals and RSI retreat.

EURUSD bears take a breather around weekly low, after a two-day downtrend, during early Wednesday.

Upbeat sentiment helps AUDUSD bulls to battle the key upside hurdle around July highs. The buyers are likely to gain from a firmer RSI line, not overbought, as well as bullish MACD signals but 20-SMA and the upper line of the weekly falling triangle’s resistance line, near 0.7500. In a case where the quote rises past 0.7500, the recent top near 0.7545 and the late...
Although Breakout-Pullback-Continuation (BPC) formation backs EURUSD bulls inside an eight-day-old rising channel, 200-EMA probes the upside momentum of late.

Even so, the upper line of the stated channel, near 1.1700 will be a...

The cable pair stays bid around 1.3655 inside a short-term rising channel during early Monday.

In doing so, the Aussie bulls brace for another battle with the 200-SMA level of 0.7305.
