Technical Analysis

GBPUSD: Falling wedge teases buyers ahead of UK/US dataThe GBPUSD currency pair is currently at its lowest point in over a week as traders wait for important data releases on Wednesday. This data includes the UK’s S&P Global/CIPS PMIs for August and the US Factory Orders and JOLTS Job Openings for July. The Pound Sterling has recently broken below a key support level comprising a one-month-old ascending trend line, which has now become resistant. Bullish technical formation, bumpy road to south challenge GBPUSD bears Despite the recent decline, the GBPUSD pair is holding up well due to a bullish pattern known as a falling wedge and several support levels. The MACD indicator also shows a decreasing bearish trend, which could help GBP/USD buyers. Additionally, the RSI indicator suggests there isn’t strong market support for the current downtrend. Technical levels to watch While the short-term falling wedge restricts the GBPUSD pair’s immediate moves between 1.3080 and 1.3120, the support-turned-resistance line from early August and a seven-week-long horizontal region act as additional trading filters around 1.3150 and 1.3050-35 respectively. Apart from that, the 50-SMA and 200-SMA could challenge the momentum traders around 1.3170 and 1.2935 in that order. In a case where the GBPUSD pair remains firmer past 1.3170, it will refresh the yearly high while aiming for the falling wedge confirmation’s theoretical target surrounding 1.3300. Alternatively, a downside break of the 200-SMA support of 1.2935 will make the Cable pair vulnerable to slump toward mid-August swing low near 1.2800. Looking forward… In the short term, GBPUSD might continue to trend lower, but the bears are losing momentum. Any disappointment in US data could quickly bring buyers back into the market, especially given the bullish technical indicators.

Gold Nears Peak, Awaiting Breakout at 2,530Gold prices rose in the Asian session on Thursday, nearing record highs as the dollar cooled ahead of key inflation data that could influence rate cut prospects. XAUUSD is in an uptrend, supported by the EMA 34 and EMA 89 lines. The price is currently fluctuating around 2,515, showing signs of a continued uptrend. Support 1 at 2,440 and Support 2 at 2,490 serve as key support levels. These levels align with the EMA lines, indicating strong support. The main resistance zone is around 2,530, where the price may struggle to break through. If this resistance is clearly breached, a strong breakout could occur, and the price may continue to rise to higher levels. A clear break above the 2,530 resistance could signal a good buying opportunity. The next target could be higher levels around 2,550 or beyond.

USDJPY: Bears flex muscles within five-week-old triangleThe USDJPY currency pair has fallen for the first time in five days after hitting a resistance level on a one-month-old chart pattern. This drop reflects a shift to safer investments as traders await important economic data and deal with the return of full trading activity after a long weekend in the US and Canada. Buyers losing ground Along with the change in market sentiment, a few technical indicators suggest the USDJPY might keep falling. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is moving out of the overbought zone, and the MACD is showing less bullish momentum. However, sellers need to see the price drop below 144.20 to gain control. Technical levels to watch The important support level is 144.20. If the price falls below this, it might continue to drop. The 100-day simple moving average (SMA) at 146.10 is another key level that limits immediate losses. Additional support levels are 144.00 and the August low of around 143.40. If the price drops further, it could target the seven-month low of 141.70 and the psychological level of 140.00. On the contrary, an upside break of the stated triangle’s top line, currently around 147.30, isn’t an open invitation to the USDJPY buyers as the 200-SMA hurdle of 148.80 acts as an extra upside filter. Also challenging the Yen pair buyers is mid-August swing high near 149.40 and the 150.00 round figure. What next? The USDJPY is likely to continue falling and might hit new lows for the year. However, the sellers need confirmation from upcoming US economic data and a break below the key support level of 144.20.

GBPJPY: 200-SMA again challenges buyers amid sluggish week-startGBPJPY reached a one-month high but then pulled back from the 200-day moving average (SMA) as traders get ready for important news this week, including PMIs and the US jobs report. The US and Canadian Labor Day holidays are allow the cross-currency pair to consolidate the previous weekly gains, especially amid the cautious mood in the market. GBPJPY buyers slowly tighten their grip… Although the 200-SMA has been restricting the GBPJPY pair’s upside momentum since mid-July, a higher low formation in the last fortnight signals that the buyers are gradually winning over. Also, the bullish MACD signals and upbeat RSI conditions add strength to the upside bias. Key technical levels to watch… Given the 200-SMA’s repeated attempts to stall the GBPJPY upside, the buyers are advised to wait for a daily break past the key moving average, around 192.25, to take fresh long positions. Following that, the 50% and 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level of the quote’s December 2023 to July 2024 upside, respectively near 193.30 and 196.75, will lure the bulls. It’s worth noting, however, that a seven-month-old previous support line, close to 199.00, quickly followed by the 200.00 psychological magnet, could test the upside momentum. Meanwhile, a drop below the immediate rising support line at about 190.70 could lead to further declines. Next support levels are around 190.00 and 188.00, with potential further drops to 184.80 and 182.50 before reaching a new yearly low around 180.10. Looking ahead… With the US and Canadian holidays and upcoming key economic data, GBPJPY might stabilize in the short term. However, if the market reacts negatively to the data, the bullish trend could be challenged.

Gold: Buyers await triangle breakout, Fed inflationGold prices are currently stable within a triangle pattern that's been forming for a week. Traders are waiting for the US Core PCE Price Index data for August, which is the Federal Reserve's preferred measure of inflation. Gold prices have been fluctuating around last week’s record high, and technical indicators like RSI and MACD suggest mixed signals. Buyers are optimistic… Even though gold doesn’t have strong upward momentum right now, last week’s rebound from a key support level, combined with weak US data and a dovish Fed outlook, keeps buyers hopeful. Uncertainty about the global economy and central banks cutting rates also supports this optimism. Key technical levels to watch… Gold’s movement is currently limited between $2,530 and $2,504. If it breaks above $2,530 and stays above the recent peak of $2,532, it could move towards $2,600. The triangle pattern suggests an intermediate target of around $2,590. Meanwhile, a downside break of the stated triangle’s bottom line, close to $2,504, will need validation from the $2,500 psychological magnet and the previous resistance line stretched from mid-July, now support around $2,472, to convince Gold sellers. Even so, a two-month-old ascending trend line surrounding $2,427 will act as the final defense of the buyers. What next? Gold is on a positive path and could reach new highs, especially amid the dovish Fed outlook. Even if the upcoming US inflation data is strong, it might only cause a short-term dip, which could be a new buying opportunity.

EURUSD: Rising wedge signals bullish exhaustion, focus on dataEURUSD pares its biggest daily loss in 11 weeks early Thursday. In doing so, it's bouncing back from a key support level and the 50-Exponential Moving Average (EMA). EURUSD bulls take a breather… This rebound suggests that the Euro might be running out of steam before important economic data is released. Among them, the first reading of Germany’s inflation for August and the US Q2 GDP’s revision gain the attention of intraday traders. That said, the RSI (Relative Strength Index) and MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) indicators suggest a potential bullish trend, but confirmation is needed. Key technical levels to watch… The EURUSD buyers need validation from a one-week-old horizontal resistance area surrounding 1.1150 and the US/German data to keep the reins. Following that, the yearly high marked earlier in the week around 1.1200 will lure the Euro bulls. In a case where the quote remains firmer past 1.1200, the aforementioned wedge’s top line of near 1.1250 and the previous yearly top of 1.1275 will act as the final defenses of the sellers. On the contrary, EURUSD sellers must wait for a clear downside break of 1.1100 to confirm the bearish chart formation and aim for further declines. In that case, a convergence of the 200-EMA and an ascending trend line from early June, the previous resistance near 1.0980, will be in the spotlight. Should the pair remain bearish past 1.0980, the odds of witnessing further downward trajectory toward the rising wedge’s theoretical target of 1.0680 can’t be ruled out. What next? In summary, the EURUSD is currently on a positive track, but further gains may depend on upcoming economic data and potential pullbacks.

USD/JPY: Bearish Pressure Below 147.000 USD ResistanceThe H4 chart of USD/JPY shows the pair trading under a descending trendline with consecutively lower highs. The 34-day EMA currently sits at 145.707 USD, near the lower support level, serving as strong support if the price continues to decline. The MACD indicator shows divergence between the MACD line and the signal line, indicating weakening bullish momentum, reinforcing the likelihood of a price correction. Traders might consider selling if the price tests the resistance around 147.000 USD but fails to break through. A take-profit could be set near the 145.000 USD support with a stop-loss slightly above the previous high to minimize risk. On the news front: U.S. economic data, especially the upcoming Nonfarm Payrolls report, will significantly impact USD/JPY. Positive data could strengthen the USD, supporting the pair's bullish trend.

XAUUSD Facing Resistance Pressure, Clear DowntrendThe 4-hour (H4) chart of XAUUSD shows a strong resistance at $2,500, where the price has repeatedly failed to break through, indicating dominant selling pressure. The 34-day EMA at $2,506, close to the current resistance, reinforces the short-term downtrend if the price cannot surpass this level. Current candlestick patterns also support the short-term bearish trend, especially as the price has tested and failed to break the $2,500 resistance multiple times. Regarding news: International economic and political factors, particularly U.S. labor data this week, will be key influencers on gold prices. If employment data is positive, the USD may strengthen, putting further downward pressure on XAUUSD.

US NFP: Gold Faces USD PressureGold is fluctuating within an upward channel but shows signs of adjustment from the upper resistance area. On the H4 chart, EMA 34 is above EMA 89, indicating a slight upward trend. However, the continuation of this trend depends on whether the price can bounce back from the support level. Gold may test the support area at $2,480. If this level holds, the price could recover to the resistance level of $2,530. Otherwise, it may continue to decline to $2,500. Regarding news: The US NFP report could significantly impact XAUUSD. If NFP is better than expected, the USD will strengthen, putting pressure on gold prices.

SBI Cards and Payments [Potential Swing]Since October 2021, SBI Cards and Payments has been on a downward trajectory, eventually finding support at 690. However, the weekly chart suggests the stock may be entering an accumulation phase. Since January 2024, the price has been fluctuating between a low of 690 and a high of 760, which could indicate consolidation as buyers gradually accumulate shares. Additionally, there has been a noticeable increase in trading volume since October 2023, suggesting growing interest in the stock. From a technical perspective, the weekly MACD appears positive and is on the verge of gaining momentum, signaling a potential shift in market sentiment. The monthly MACD also reflects a steady decline in seller momentum, further indicating increasing buyer interest. At this stage, only two resistance levels have been identified. A breakout and sustained movement above the second resistance level (R2) will be critical in confirming a stronger upward trend. If the stock successfully maintains levels above R2, further resistance levels will be marked, providing clearer targets for future price action. Potential Risk : The primary risk to the stock's upward trajectory is the possibility of a broader market correction. Disclaimer : This analysis is intended for educational purposes and is not a recommendation to buy. It is important to learn how to recognize and understand patterns in stock movements.

EURUSD Awaits Rate Signals, Risk of Bullish ReversalInvestors are waiting for rate signals from the Fed as U.S. inflation remains high, while the ECB faces pressure to adjust rates due to the Eurozone's sluggish economy. The short-term downtrend in EURUSD is prevailing, confirmed by the EMA 34 crossing below the EMA 89, indicating growing selling pressure. The chart shows strong support around the 1.10630 level, where prices have bounced multiple times, creating a solid support zone. The resistance zone is around 1.11450, which is a potential target area if prices rebound from the support level. The RSI (14) is currently hovering around 36-38, suggesting the market is in an oversold state. This indicates a potential reversal or a short-term pullback. If the price holds the support at 1.10630 and shows a rebound signal, there is a possibility that EURUSD will retest the resistance at 1.11450.

USDJPY Adjusts, Forms New Resistance, Awaiting Signals from BOJCurrently, USDJPY is adjusting after breaking out of a downward channel, creating a new resistance zone at 145.000 and showing signs of a potential reversal. The EMA 34 and EMA 89 lines are currently above the price, acting as dynamic resistance levels and applying downward pressure. The key support zone lies around 143.500. If the price drops to this level and strong buying pressure emerges, we can expect a potential rebound from here. Traders should closely monitor price action at key support and resistance levels. Entering buy or sell positions should be based on clear price action or technical signals. On the news front: The Japanese yen stabilized on Thursday after a strong rise earlier in the week, driven by bets that the Bank of Japan will further hike interest rates this year following a series of tightening signals from BOJ officials.

USDJPY: Off 13-month-old support during short-term downtrendUSDJPY has bounced back from a key support level that’s been in place for 13 months but remains in a short-term downtrend. The pair faces resistance from this old support line, now turned resistance, and the 21-day moving average (SMA). USDJPY recovery appears unreal… Although USDJPY is recovering from significant trendline support of around 143.70, indicators like the RSI and MACD suggest a strong bullish trend may not be likely. Additionally, market uncertainty before upcoming Japanese economic data and the US Core PCE Price Index (a key inflation measure) adds to the uncertainty. Key technical levels to watch… USDJPY pair’s recovery appears less convincing unless it crosses the 200-SMA hurdle of 151.20. That said, the 21-SMA and the multi-month-old previous support line, respectively near 146.40 and 149.80, quickly followed by the 150.00 threshold, will challenge the buyers before giving them control. On the contrary, a daily closing beneath the 143.70 trend line support will direct the USDJPY bears toward the late 2023 bottom surrounding 140.45 and the 140.00 psychological magnet. In a case where the prices remain bearish past 140.00, an area comprising levels marked since March 2023, close to 137.90-70, will be the last defense of the buyers. What next? USDJPY is at a critical support level. A short-term bounce is possible, but the chance of further declines is higher unless the pair breaks through the 151.20 resistance.

GBPJPY bulls need validation from 192.00 and Japan dataThe GBPJPY currency pair is making gains as it moves within a two-week upward trend, showing renewed optimism early on Tuesday. This rise supports the bullish trend that started in early August and counters the previous indecision seen last week. Currently, GBPJPY is trading above the 100-day moving average and has broken through a six-week-old downward resistance line, which now acts as support. The steady RSI also adds to the positive outlook. For the bullish trend to continue, GBPJPY needs to break above the upper boundary of the ongoing triangle pattern, near 192.00. If this happens, the next significant hurdle will be the 200-day moving average at 194.55. A break above this could push prices toward the late July high of around 199.50 and possibly even the 200.00 mark. On the downside, key support levels are around 189.80, 188.65 (100-day moving average), and 186.50 (previous resistance line). If GBPJPY falls below 186.50, it could drop to the monthly low of 180.10. Besides technical factors, GBPJPY buyers should also watch for upcoming data releases on Tokyo inflation, Japan's industrial production, unemployment rate, and retail trade this Thursday.

Gold bounces off resistance-turned-support, Jackson Hole eyedGold prices have ended a two-day drop as traders look ahead to the key Jackson Hole Symposium in Wyoming, where a speech by Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell is highly anticipated. Gold has bounced back from its recent low, rebounding off the 10-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and a key previous resistance line. Positive signals from the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) suggest that gold could push past the $2,520 mark comprising the 50% Fibonacci Extension (FE) of its February-June move. Following that, the buyers can aim for $2,575 and potentially $2,600. On the downside, gold is supported by the 10-day EMA around $2,482 and a former resistance level now acting as support near $2,474. If gold drops below these levels, it could test the $2,465 mark and the 50-day EMA at $2,415. A further decline past $2,415 would need to break through a support line of around $2,410 and the $2,400 level to shift control to sellers. In summary, gold is on a positive path, but there are hurdles ahead before it can make significant gains.

EURUSD jostles with key resistance, PMI, Fed’s Powell eyedEURUSD traders are taking a break at its highest level since July 2023 as they await August PMI data for the Eurozone and the US. They are also keeping an eye on Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole event on Friday. The overbought RSI indicates a potential pullback, with immediate support around the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level from July-October 2023, near 1.1100. If the price falls, the rising support line near 1.1030 and the range of levels from late November 2023 around 1.1010-1.0980 might hold strong against further declines. For EURUSD buyers to regain confidence, they need to break the yearly high of around 1.1175. Overcoming this could lead to resistance around 1.1200-1.1210 before reaching the late 2023 high of around 1.1275. If the pair surpasses 1.1275, it might gradually rise towards the 2022 high near 1.1500. In summary, EURUSD is still in a bullish trend, though a short-term pullback is possible.

USDJPY sellers keep eyes on 144.00 and FOMC MinutesThe USDJPY pair is currently recovering from its lowest point in two weeks and breaking a three-day losing streak. The US Dollar is bouncing back from a yearly low as traders await the latest Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting minutes. Despite this bounce, the Yen pair is still trading below important Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) and shows bearish signs from the MACD indicator, keeping sellers optimistic. If the USDJPY continues to drop, it might soon test the 144.00 support level, which has held for about 12 days. A fall below 144.00 could push the pair towards the July low of around 141.70. However, the Yen pair will need to move past the 50% Fibonacci Extension near 141.30 before targeting 140.00 and the 61.8% Fibonacci Extension around 139.40-35. On the upside, the 50 and 100 EMAs are likely to cap the USDJPY’s immediate gains, with resistance levels around 147.10 and 148.50. Beyond that, the pair might face resistance at the previous weekly high near 149.40 and the 150.00 level. If it breaks above 150.00, the final resistance points are at the 200-EMA level around 151.15 and the late July swing low near 151.95. In summary, while the USDJPY is currently recovering, the bears remain in control as traders await key news.
