EURUSD stays defensive near key support line on Fed dayEURUSD fades bounce off an ascending support line stretched from early January as market players brace for the US Federal Reserve (Fed) monetary policy announcements on Wednesday. It’s worth noting, however, that the RSI (14) line is nearly oversold and the MACD flags bull cross, which in turn favors the Euro pair’s sustained trading beyond the stated support line, close to 1.0640 by the press time. That said, the quote’s weakness past 1.0640, will make it vulnerable to decline towards March’s bottom surrounding 1.0515 before testing the yearly low of around 1.0480.
Alternatively, the EURUSD pair’s recovery moves will initially aim for the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of January-July upside, near 1.0790. However, a two-month-old descending resistance line and the 200-day SMA, respectively near 1.0815 and 1.0830, could challenge the Euro buyers past 1.0790. In a case where the pair manages to remain firmer past 1.0790, as well as cross the 1.0800 round figure, the odds of witnessing a run-up towards the late August swing high of around 1.0940 can’t be ruled out.
Overall, EURUSD remains bearish even if the oscillators challenge the downside bias.
Softlanding
Gold bears prepare for another stunt as US inflation loomsGold Price again prods the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) support, after failing to break the same during late August, within a 2.5-month-old falling wedge bullish chart formation. The sluggish MACD signals and a downward-sloping RSI (14), not oversold, also favor the XAUUSD bears in breaking the 200-EMA support of around $1,910, which in turn will allow the precious metal to test the $1,900 threshold. However, the stated wedge’s bottom line of around $1,880 could challenge the commodity sellers afterward. In a case where the quote remains bearish past $1,880, the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement of its February-Mary upside, close to $1,860, will act as the final defense of the buyers before directing the prices toward the early 2023 low of around $1,805.
On the contrary, the Gold Price recovery will aim for the 100-EMA hurdle of surrounding $1,930. Following that, the aforementioned bullish chart pattern’s top line, close to $1,945, and the monthly high of near $1,953 could challenge the XAUUSD buyers. In a case where the bullion remains firmer past the $1,953 hurdle, the odds of witnessing a rally towards July’s peak of $1,987 and then to the theoretical target of the wedge formation, close to $2,045, can’t be ruled out. It’s worth noting that the $2,000 psychological magnet acts as an extra filter toward the north.
Overall, the Gold Price appears to decline further but the downside room seems limited unless the US CPI offers an extremely strong figure for August month.
Rising wedge lures USDJPY sellers amid hawkish BoJ concernsUSDJPY begins the week on a negative note while extending a downside gap during the early hours of Monday. Adding strength to the bearish bias about the Yen pair are the concerns about the Bank of Japan’s (BoJ) exit from the ultra-loose monetary policy easing and a five-week-old rising wedge bearish chart pattern. It should be noted, however, that multiple supports stand tall to test the pair sellers on their way to the theoretical target of the rising wedge confirmation, around 139.20. That said, the stated wedge’s bottom line of around 145.60 acts as an immediate challenge for the bears to retake control. Following that, the 200-SMA and an ascending trend line from mid-July, close to 144.70 and 143.40 in that order, will precede the 140.00 round figure to also check the pair’s downside momentum ahead of highlighting the 139.20 mark.
On the contrary, another rejection from the BoJ policymakers to the hawkish bias and strong US Consumer Price Index (CPI), scheduled for Wednesday, could renew the upside bias about the USDJPY pair. In that case, the tops marked since last Tuesday around 147.90 will provide headwinds to the Yen pair’s recovery. It should be noted that the stated wedge’s top line, around 148.10 by the press time, holds the key to the buyer’s entry. In that case, the north run will aim for the 150.00 psychological magnet ahead of targeting the previous yearly high surrounding 151.95, as well as the 152.00 threshold.
To sum up, USDJPY bulls appear to run out of steam but the bears need validation from 145.60, BoJ officials and the US inflation to retake control.
Gold has limited downside room unless it breaks $1,900Gold price appears well set to print the first weekly loss in three as it defends the previous Friday’s U-turn from a key resistance line below the important Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). However, the 50-EMA pierces the 200-EMA from below and prints a “Golden Cross” bullish moving average crossover suggesting a corrective bounce in prices. Additionally, the RSI (14) also rebounds from the oversold territory and hence increases the odds of witnessing a corrective bounce towards the EMA convergence surrounding $1,930. Following that, the 50% Fibonacci retracement of the July-August downturn, near $1,937, may please the XAUUSD buyers before testing them with a seven-week-old descending resistance line surrounding $1,950. Adding strength to the stated trend line resistance is the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement, also known as the “Golden Fibonacci Ratio”.
Meanwhile, the Gold buyer’s failure to defend Thursday’s corrective bounce needs to break $1,915 support to recall the sellers. Even so, a horizontal area comprising multiple levels marked since late June, close to $1,900, appears a tough nut to crack for the XAUUSD bears afterward. It should be observed, though, that a clear downside break of $1,900 won’t hesitate to challenge the previous monthly low of around $1,884 while targeting the early March swing high of around $1,858 and then to the yearly bottom of $1,804, quickly followed by the $1,800 round figure.
To sum up, the Gold price remains on the bear’s radar despite the latest recovery.
EURUSD remains on the back foot within bearish channelEURUSD braces for the eighth consecutive weekly loss despite the latest hesitance of the bears surrounding the bottom line of the 1.5-month-old descending trend channel. It’s worth noting that the nearly oversold RSI line and sluggish MACD signals suggest a corrective bounce of the Euro pair, which in turn highlights the previous support line stretched from late June, close to 1.0750 by the press time. In a case where the quote remains firmer past 1.0750, September’s peak of around 1.0885 and the aforementioned channel’s top line surrounding 1.0900 will lure the pair buyers. It should be observed, however, that the bullish bias remains elusive unless the quote stays below the 200-SMA hurdle of 1.0925, a break of which could challenge July’s peak of 1.1275 gradually.
Meanwhile, the EURUSD pair’s weakness might dwindle around the stated bearish channel’s bottom line, close to 1.0695 by the press time. Following that, the lows marked in May and March, respectively near 1.0635 and 1.0515 could lure the Euro sellers. Should the pair bears remain in control past 1.0515, the yearly bottom of around 1.0480 will act as the final battle point for the buyers before giving the throne to the sellers.
Overall, EURUSD is likely to remain bearish but a corrective bounce can’t be ruled out.
USDCAD bulls jostle with 1.3640-50 crucial resistance on BoC DayUSDCAD bulls struggle to keep the reins at a five-month high as markets await the all-important Bank of Canada (BoC) Interest Rate Decision and the US ISM Services PMI for August. That said, the nearly overbought RSI and impending bear cross on the MACD checks buyers as they attack a convergence of an 11-month-old descending resistance line and a horizontal region comprising multiple levels marked since late April, close to 1.3640-50. As a result, the pair’s upside appears difficult and hence needs a strong boost from the BoC, as well as US data, to cross the stated hurdle, which in turn could propel prices towards the yearly high marked in March around 1.3865. Following that, the late 2022 peak of 1.3980 and the 1.4000 psychological magnet will gain the market’s attention.
Meanwhile, the USDCAD pullback may initially aim for the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of August-October 2022 upside, near 1.3500, ahead of retesting the 200-DMA support of 1.3465. In a case where the Loonie pair remains bearish past 1.3465, the early July swing high of 1.3385 and the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement surrounding 1.3200, also known as the Golden Fibonacci ratio, will be on the seller’s radar. Finally, the yearly low marked in July around 1.3090 acts as the last battle point for the buyers, a break of which won’t hesitate to drag the pair below the 1.3000 psychological magnet.
Overall, USDCAD remains bullish but may witness a pullback before the further upside, unless the BoC and US data offer surprises.
EURUSD recovery remains unconvincing below 1.1040EURUSD extends recovery from the 200-DMA, as well as an upside break of a fortnight-old descending resistance line, as markets await the Eurozone inflation data and the Fed’s favorite inflation gauge, namely the US Core PCE Price Index. That said, the looming bull cross on the MACD and upbeat RSI (14), not overbought, also keep the Euro buyers hopeful. However, a clear run-up beyond the previous support line stretched from October 2022, now resistance around 1.1040, becomes necessary to confirm the bullish trend. Following that, the yearly high of 1.1275, marked earlier in the month, will be in the spotlight.
On the contrary, the two-week-long resistance-turned-support of around 1.0880 restricts the immediate downside of the EURUSD pair ahead of the 200-DMA level of 1.0810. In a case where the Euro pair drops below 1.0810, and also breaks the 1.0800 round figure, sellers can aim for May’s bottom of 1.0635 before targeting the yearly low marked in January surrounding 1.0480. It’s worth noting that the downside moves need strongly disappointing Eurozone HICP and CPI numbers, as well as an extremely positive US Core PCE Price Index, to reverse the latest uptrend.
Overall, EURUSD remains in the recovery mode as the key Eurozone and the US data loom.
Concept of Soft,Hard Landing feat Adani Enterprises 1 ) Monthly Time frame story: This story tells us about the fibo retracement
- From the start of the journey of its price action till date, it has given a solid return
- Retracement was always pending in this stock. There can be two types - soft and hard landing type retracement
2) Stock has retraced almost 50-60% of its total lifetime move - Only Issue is Daily time hard landing retracement
Soft Landing
- Stock moving with a zig-zag type formation, that is, making lower lows with lower highs, taking time to reach 50-60% retracement levels, is what we call a soft landing in this contraction cycle of stocks.
Hard Landing
- Stock falling directly with big 20-30% falling bars in a single day and continuing this next day with increasing volumes tells the story of a hard landing, meaning no new
positions are made in between, and only selling side pressure increases without any backing from bulls at all.
3) Execution: The plan here can be that after Hard landing like in the case of Adani stocks, we need to be patient and mark important levels
- Here I have made on the daily time frame 2 patterns - Triangle and W bottom, many other fomrations can be there ( it should be a bullish pattern at this stage, that's all )
A breakout of out it can be played with a small investment amount ( This is not an advice, so consult your fin advisor or take decision on your own trading style )
Good luck
