USDJPY bulls eye another battle with 4.5-month-old resistanceUSDJPY rises for the sixth consecutive day while poking the yearly high marked in October, mildly bid near 151.70 during early Monday. In doing so, the Yen pair justifies an upbeat RSI (14) line while signaling the fourth attack to cross an upward-sloping resistance line stretched from June 30, around 152.50 by the press time. It’s worth noting that the previous yearly peak of near 152.00 guards the quote’s immediate upside. That said, the pair’s successful trading beyond 152.50 enables buyers to aim for the June 1990 high of 155.80.
Meanwhile, the 150.00 round figure and the 50-day SMA surrounding 149.20 restrict the USDJPY pair’s short-term downside. Following that, the 100-day SMA and an upward-sloping trend line from late March, respectively near 146.20 and 145.30, will act as the final defense of the Yen pair buyers. In a case where the bears dominate past 145.30, June’s high of near 145.00 can test the downside moves targeting May’s high near 141.00 and then toward the 140.00 psychological magnet.
Overall, the USDJPY pair remains in the bullish trend but the upside room appears limited as the multi-month-old rising trend line joins nearly overbought RSI conditions to suggest one more retreat of the buyers.

USDJPY challenges rising wedge on BoJ status quoUSDJPY bounces off 200-SMA while testing the previous day’s rising wedge confirmation as Yen traders respond to the Bank of Japan’s (BoJ) inaction. With this, the risk-barometer pair not only challenges the bearish chart pattern but also teases the buyers, especially amid the looming bull cross on the MACD and a quick rebound in the RSI (14) line. However, the bullish bias remains elusive unless the quote stays beneath the aforementioned rising wedge’s upper line, close to the 151.00 round figure. Following that, the previous yearly top of near 152.00 may prod the buyers targeting the mid-1990 peak surrounding 155.80.
On the contrary, the USDJPY pair’s fresh selling needs validation from the 200-SMA support, currently around 149.00. Even so, the monthly low close to 147.30 could challenge the Yen pair bears before directing them to September’s bottom of around 144.45. In a case where the sellers keep the reins past 144.45, the 140.00 round figure will be in the spotlight.
Overall, the Bank of Japan’s (BoJ) dovish bias keeps USDJPY buyers hopeful. However, a clear upside break of 151.00 and downbeat comments from BoJ Governor Ueda will help the bulls to keep control.
USDJPY retreats within two-month-old rising wedgeUSDJPY began the trading week on a back foot within a two-month-old rising wedge bearish chart formation. That said, the Yen pair snapped a four-week uptrend in the last but failed to confirm the rising wedge, neither it could break the 200-SMA support. However, the RSI conditions and the MACD conditions join the quote’s failure to cross the 50-SMA immediate resistance to keep the sellers hopeful. With this, the bears await a clear downside break of the aforementioned wedge’s bottom line, close to 148.30 by the press time, as well as a break of the 200-SMA support surrounding 147.70, to tighten the grip. It’s worth noting that the monthly low of around 147.30 could act as the final defense of the pair buyers before signaling the theoretical target of the rising wedge breakdown, around the 140.00 threshold.
On the contrary, the USDJPY pair buyers need to cross the 50-SMA upside hurdle, near 149.20 at the latest, to retake control. Even so, the 150.00 psychological magnet can test the Yen pair bulls. Following that, the latest peak of around 150.20 and the wedge’s top line of near 150.80 will challenge the upside momentum ahead of directing the buyers toward the previous yearly high of around 152.00.
Overall, the USDJPY pair teases the sellers but a downside break of the 147.30 becomes necessary for the bearish confirmation.
USDJPY renews one-year high near 150.00USDJPY extends Friday’s rebound from the nine-week-old rising support line while printing the fresh high of the year 2023. It’s worth noting, however, that the overbought RSI (14) line and lackluster MACD signals suggest hardships for the pair buyers moving forward. Also challenging the upside is the 150.00 psychological magnet and a seven-month-old ascending trend channel’s top line, surrounding 151.00. In a case where the Yen pair stays firmer past 151.00, the previous yearly high of around 151.95 and the 152.00 round figure could lure the bulls. Following that, a gradual run-up towards the 127.2% Fibonacci retracement of October 2022 to January 2023 downside, close to 158.80, is highly expected.
Meanwhile, the aforementioned immediate support line joins the late October 2022 swing high to challenge the short-term USDJPY bears around the 148.90-85 zone. However, the quote’s weakness past 148.85 will make it vulnerable to dropping toward the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of around 146.70. Should the Yen pair sellers keep the reins past 146.70, June’s high of around 145.00 might become their favorite. Above all, a convergence of the stated bullish channel’s top line and 61.8% Fibonacci ratio, close to 142.60, becomes the key to witnessing a reversal of the seven-month-long bullish trend.
Overall, USDJPY’s pullback appears overdue but the bulls are more likely to keep the reins.
USDJPY bulls struggle within rising wedge, focus on 147.30USDJPY stays defensive at an 11-month high, losing upside momentum after a three-week winning streak, as market players await this week’s key Japan inflation data, as well as the US Durable Goods Orders. Also, sluggish RSI (14) line and MACD signals add restrictions to moves and challenge the Yen pair buyers. Furthermore, a rising wedge bearish chart formation comprising levels marked since early August also keeps the pair sellers hopeful. However, a convergence of the 100-SMA and the stated wedge’s bottom line, close to 147.30 at the latest, becomes necessary for the sellers to retake control. Even so, the 200-SMA and the monthly low, respectively around 146.40 and 144.45, may test the buyers ahead of highlighting the rising wedge’s theoretical target of 140.30 and 140.00.
On the contrary, the latest high of around 148.50 guards the immediate upside of the USDJPY pair ahead of the stated wedge’s top line of around 149.00. In a case where the Yen pair remains firmer past 149.00, the 150.00 round figure and the previous yearly high of around 152.00 could lure the pair buyers. Following that, the June 1990 peak of around 155.80 will act as the last defense of the bears.
Overall, USDJPY bears appear tiring but the buyers seem determined to give a tough tight before leaving the throne.
USDJPY bulls run out of steam around mid-146.00sUSDJPY again flirts with the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement of the October 2022 to January 2023 downturn within a five-month-long bullish channel. Though, the overbought RSI (14) and looming bear cross on the MACD signal pullback of the Yen pair. That said, the tops marked in late June and early July join the 21-DMA to highlight the 144.60-50 zone as a short-term key support. In a case where the risk-barometer pair drops below 144.50, the late July swing high around 142.00 might stop the sellers before challenging them with the 140.00 support confluence comprising 100-DMA and the bottom line of the stated channel.
Meanwhile, a daily closing beyond the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level of around 146.50 will direct the USDJPY buyers toward the November 2022 peak of around 148.85 and then to the 149.00 round figure. Following that, the 150.00 round figure might test the Yen pair’s upside before highlighting the previous yearly high of around 152.00.
To sum up, the USDJPY pair’s pullback appears overdue but the downtrend appears off the table beyond 140.00.
Gold buyers seek re-entry but road towards north is long and bumGold braces for the first weekly gain in five while bouncing off the multi-month low marked earlier in the week, piercing the 200-DMA of late. The upside bias gains credence from a looming bull-cross on the MACD, as well as a recovery in the RSI (14) line from the oversold territory. However, a nine-month-old previous support line, close to $1,950, precedes a downward-sloping resistance line from early May, around $1,955 at the latest, to restrict the short-term upside of the XAUUSD. Also acting as a barrier towards the north is a three-month-old horizontal resistance area surrounding the $1,985 and the $2,000 psychological magnet. In a case where the metal remains firmer past $2,000, the yearly high of around $2,067 will be in the spotlight.
On the flip side, the recent low of around $1,885 holds the key to the Gold seller’s entry. Following that, the early-March swing high of near $1,858 and the YTD bottom around $1,804, quickly followed by the $1,800 threshold, will challenge the XAUUSD bears. Should there be a sustained downtrend of the bullion past $1,800, the November 2022 peak of around $1,767 will act as the final defense of the buyers.
Overall, the Gold Price is likely to recover but the reversal of the multi-day-old bearish trend is still unclear to predict.
USDJPY portrays bullish consolidation beyond 200-SMAUSDJPY posted a three-week winning streak but ended Thursday on a negative note. That said, a convergence of 50-SMA and a seven-week-old horizontal area surrounding 145.00-145.10 restricts the immediate downside of the Yen pair. Following that, the early-month high of around 143.90 and the 200-SMA level of around 142.15 will act as the final defense of the buyers. In a case where the quote remains bearish past 142.15, as well as breaks the 142.00 round figure, the odds of witnessing a slump towards the 140.00 round figure and then to the late July swing of near 138.00 can’t be ruled out.
Alternatively, a corrective bounce in the USDJPY price could challenge the latest multi-month peak of around 146.60 before trying to restore the bull’s confidence by poking the previous support line stretched from July 28, around 146.80. In a case where the Yen buyers remain dominant past 146.80, the 150.00 round figure will be crucial to watch as the key upside hurdle, a break of which could allow the upside to aim for the previous yearly top surrounding 152.00.
Overall, the USDJPY buyers are taking a breather but not off the table as the key supports hold.
Gold stays bearish despite corrective bouncesGold braces for the fourth weekly losses even as a one-month-old falling support line defends intraday buyers. That said, the recovery appears elusive unless crossing the 200-SMA level of around $1,940. Even so, multiple tops marked since late May, surrounding $1,985, constitute a strong resistance for the bulls to cross before taking control. Following that, a run-up toward crossing the $2,000 round figure will be a cakewalk for the XAUUSD buyers while $2,050 and May’s peak of around $2,066 could gain the market’s attention afterward.
On the flip side, the aforementioned support line, around $1,887 by the press time, could keep poking the Gold sellers. However, a break of which could quickly drag the XAUUSD to the 61.8% Fibonacci Extension (FE) of the metal’s May-July moves, near $1,863. It’s worth noting that the bullion’s weakness past $1,863 will make it vulnerable to testing the yearly low of around $1,804, quickly followed by the $1,800 threshold.
Overall, Gold sellers keep the reins unless the prices remain below $1,985 but the downside room appears limited, which in turn suggests intermediate bounces in the price.
EURUSD sellers tighten grips ahead of a busy weekIn addition to posting the fourth consecutive weekly losses, the EURUSD also ended the week on a negative note while piercing a 10-week-old rising support line, now immediate resistance around 1.0950. Also keeping the Euro sellers hopeful are the bearish MACD signals. However, the RSI (14) line is below 50.0 and suggests bottom-picking, which in turn highlights the monthly low of around 1.0910 as short-term key support. Following that, July’s bottom surrounding 1.0830 and the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement of May-July upside, near 1.0770, can check the downside moves targeting May’s trough close to 1.0635.
Meanwhile, a corrective bounce needs to cross a convergence of the 100-SMA and the 200-SMA to convince the intraday buyers of the EURUSD pair. Even so, a fortnight-old horizontal resistance area surrounding 1.1045-50 could test the bulls before giving them control. Even so, the tops marked during late July may offer breathing space to the buyers near 1.1150. In a case where the Euro pair remains firmer past 1.1150, the odds of witnessing a run-up towards challenging the yearly top marked in July around 1.1275 can’t be ruled out.
Overall, EURUSD is on the bear’s radar as traders await more details of EU/US growth and inflation.
USDJPY pares weekly gains with eyes on sub-140.00 zoneUSDJPY extended a pullback from a five-week-old horizontal resistance by slipping beneath monthly horizontal support and 200-SMA, despite the latest rebound, as markets sensed the Bank of Japan’s (BoJ) exit from the loose monetary policy and unimpressive US employment report. Also keeping the Yen sellers hopeful are the bearish MACD signals and downward-sloping RSI (14) line. With this, the bears are all set to challenge the 141.00 round figure comprising the 50% Fibonacci retracement of the June-July downturn. Following that, the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level of 140.30 and the 140.00 psychological magnet may test the downside move. It’s worth observing that a three-week-old rising support line, close to 139.55 at the latest, acts as the last defense of the buyers.
On the flip side, the aforementioned support-turned-resistance zone and the 200-SMA, around 141.85-142.00, challenge the USDJPY buyers before directing them to the five-week-old horizontal hurdle surrounding 144.00. In a case where the Yen pair rises past 144.00, the yearly peak marked in June around 145.10, will be in the spotlight. It should be noted that the quote’s strength past 145.10 could direct bulls toward the 150.00 round figure ahead of highlighting the next year’s top of around 152.00.
Overall, the talks of a looming BoJ rate hike or an alteration into the Yield Curve Control (YCC) policy exert downside pressure on the USDJPY pair but the US inflation is on the cards and can help the pair register another positive week. Hence, it's advisable to be cautious while trading the Yen pair.
USDJPY breaks immediate support despite BoJ inactionUSDJPY appears well-set to reverse the previous weekly gains as it reverses from a three-week-old descending resistance line surrounding 141.00. Also adding strength to the downside bias could be the pair’s break of a fortnight-old support line’s break, as well as bearish MACD signals. However, the below 50.0 levels of the RSI challenges the Yen pair as US Dollar bulls flex muscles ahead of the Fed’s favorite inflation clue, namely the Core PCE Price Index. It’s worth noting, however, that the quote’s recovery remains elusive below 141.00 while the 200-SMA and multiple technical levels marked since June 19 and a 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the June-July downside together constitute the 142.00-10 area as a tough nut to crack for the bulls.
On the contrary, USDJPY sellers need validation from the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement near 139.00 to rule further. Should the Yen pair remains bearish past 139.00, tops marked in March and May around 137.70 and the monthly low near 137.25 will act as the final defenses of the major currency pair. If at all the quote drops beneath 137.25, May’s bottom of near 133.50 and the 130.00 threshold will lure the sellers.
Overall, USDJPY is likely to add to the weekly gains but US data appears crucial to watch for clear directions.
USDJPY grinds higher inside five-month-old bearish triangleUSDJPY marked the first negative weekly close in four despite Friday’s gains. Following that, the Yen pair remains inside an ascending triangle bearish chart formation comprising multiple levels marked since early December 2022. That said, the RSI and MACD conditions also signal a continuation of the recent rebound within the stated triangle. With this, the top line of the aforementioned chart formation, close to 137.80 at the latest, gains the market’s attention, a break of which could defy the bearish pattern and can propel prices towards the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of October 2022 to January 2023 downside, at 142.50. It should be noted that the 140.00 round figure can act as an intermediate halt during the anticipated rise whereas a successful rise past 142.50 won’t hesitate to aim for the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level surrounding 146.70.
Meanwhile, the 100-DMA joins the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level to provide strong short-term support within the triangle around 132.80. Following that, the triangle’s lower line, close to 131.90, will be crucial to watch as a clear break of the same could confirm the theoretical fall towards 121.00. While chasing the said target, the lows marked during January 2023 and May 2022, respectively near 127.20 and 126.30, may act as intermediate halts. However, the USDJPY pair’s weakness past 121.00 could witness multiple supports around the 120.00 psychological magnet.
Overall, USDJPY is likely to decline further as Fed vs. BoJ divergence eases. Though, a clear downside break of 131.90 becomes necessary to convince bears.
GBPUSD portrays bullish consolidation above 1.2400GBPUSD buyers appear running out of steam as it wavers inside a three-week-old trading range. Even so, the Cable pair’s successful trading above the 11-month-old descending trend line close to 1.2320 at the latest, as well as beyond an upward-sloping trend line since the last September, keeps the buyers hopeful. Adding strength to the shorter ascending trend line support is the 50-DMA level surrounding 1.2210. Even if the quote breaks the 1.2210 support confluence, the 1.2200 round figure and the 1.2000 psychological magnet can challenge the pair sellers ahead of highlighting the 200-DMA support of around 1.1970.
Meanwhile, the latest multi-month high of near 1.2550, marked earlier in April, stays on the GBPUSD buyer’s radar unless dropping below the 1.2320 support line mentioned above. Should the Cable pair remains firmer past 1.2550, the 1.2600 round figure may act as an intermediate halt before directing the quote toward the May 2022 peak of around 1.2665. In a case where the pair crosses the 1.2665 hurdle, the lows marked during early April 2022 near 1.2970-80 can test the bulls before directing them to the March 2022 bottom surrounding the 1.3000 round figure.
Overall, the GBPUSD pair remains firmer despite the latest consolidation.
USDJPY eases from key hurdle to the north ahead of BoJ, NFPUSDJPY marked the first weekly loss in three as the key Bank of Japan (BoJ) Monetary Policy Meeting and the US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) looms. The Yen pair’s latest retreat could be cited as a failure to cross the 200 and 100-DMA. Adding strength to the pullback move could be the overbought RSI (14). However, the bullish MACD signals and a three-day-old ascending support line, around 134.15 by the press time, challenge the quote’s immediate downside. Following that, the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level of the pair’s May-October 2022 run-up, near 131.75, could lure the bears before directing them to the 130.00 psychological magnet and the last January’s low, close to 127.20.
Meanwhile, the 100-DMA and the 200-DMA guard the USDJPY pair’s immediate recovery moves near 136.80 and 137.30 respectively. It’s worth noting that the risk-barometer pair’s successful run-up beyond 137.30 isn’t an open invitation to the bulls as the 50% and 38.2% Fibonacci retracement levels could challenge the further advances around 139.15 and 142.20 in that order.
Overall, USDJPY bulls are running out of steam ahead of BoJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda’s last monetary policy show, as well as the key US jobs report for February.
USDJPY bears keep driver’s seat despite BoJ-led rallyDespite rising nearly 300 pips following the Bank of Japan’s (BoJ) inaction, the USDJPY pair remains on the bear’s radar as it is yet to cross a four-month-long descending trend line resistance, around 131.10-15 by the press time. That said, the RSI’s rebound from the conditions also intraday buyers. It’s worth noting that the 50-DMA pierces the 200-DMA from above and portrays a bear cross on the daily chart, which in turn suggests the quote’s further downside unless the pair rises past the 200-DMA hurdle surrounding 136.65.
Alternatively, lows marked during May 2022 surrounding 126.35 precede the 125.00 threshold to challenge USDJPY bears, not to forget the oversold RSI conditions. In a case where the pair bears ignore RSI conditions and dominate past 125.00, the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level and the late March low, respectively around 122.45 and 121.30, could act as the last defenses of the buyers before directing them to the February 2022 bottom of 114.40.
Overall, the bear cross on the daily chart contrasts the BoJ’s inaction and keeps sellers hopeful.
Yield spreads favor EUR longsThe spread between the 10-year US and German government bond yields has dropped below a macro bullish trendline, characterizing the widening since 2008.
In other words, the market says the era of US rates being higher than German rates is passe! And therefore, holding EUR shorts is risky.
EURUSD stays on bull’s radar despite recent pullbackEURUSD retreats inside a six-week-old bullish channel as the holiday season allows buyers to take a breather. The pullback move, however, stays unimportant beyond the 1.0590-80 support zone comprising the 100-SMA and an upward-sloping trend line stretched from December 01. Even so, the stated channel’s support line, close to 1.0500 by the press time, will challenge the pair’s further downside. It’s worth noting that the 200-SMA acts as the last defense for bulls around 1.0450.
On the flip side, the 1.0700 round figure acts as an immediate hurdle for the EURUSD buyers to crack before aiming for the aforementioned channel’s top line, around 1.0760 at the latest. In a case where the pair remains firmer past 1.0760, May’s peak of around 1.0785 and the 1.0800 round figure may act as the buffers before highlighting the late April swing high surrounding 1.0985 and the 1.1000 threshold.
Overall, EURUSD appears losing upside momentum, as per the RSI and MACD signals, but the bears are far from winning the battle.
200-DMA holds the gate for USDJPY bearsUSDJPY fades bounce off the 200-DMA as it failed to cross the previous support line from late May. However, nearly oversold RSI challenges the sellers and hence a short-term consolidation between the 200-DMA and the support-turned-resistance line, respectively around 135.00 and 138.00, can’t be ruled out. Even if the quote rises past the 138.00 round figure, the 21-DMA could challenge the buyers at around 138.50. It’s worth noting that a seven-week-old descending trend line joins the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the May-October upside, near 139.15-20, to act as the last defense of sellers. In a case where the yen pair remains firmer past 139.20, a quick run-up toward the late November high around 142.25 appears imminent.
Meanwhile, a downside break of the 200-DMA support of 135.00 won’t hesitate to refresh the monthly low, currently around 133.60. Following that, the August month low near 130.40 and the 130.00 round figure can be witnessed. Should the quote remains bearish past 130.00, May’s bottom of 126.35 will lure the USDJPY bears.
Overall, USDJPY is heading lower as the key week begins. However, it all depends upon the US inflation and Fed meeting.
XAUUSDHello dear traders.
Gold has given mixed signals. In my opinion it is still under bearish pressure but with lack of strong downtrend momentum right now.
10Y and 30Y yields and DXY are green, so this has already pushed prices down fomr the multiple times checked 1670 level. 1670 was great for 50 pips sell.
On the other hand there is the 4H ascending trendline and at the moment while price lies at the support. It could easily bounce back up.
But, my blue arrows indicate a weakness to form higher highs. In conjuction with long spike bullish candles, I see that insitutions have not initiated their real direction.
They do scalp and they do close their profits in a short period of time.
We can go long from 1660 to 1668-1670 with SL below the last support or we may enter long even better after the break & retest of the resistance level.
Try to avoid trading during today's high impact news of USA. Keep an eye of this data to be released, in order to decide which will be the most logical direction.
Otherwise,
If the support is broken, we go short accordingly.
GL!!
Gold portrays bullish triangle but $1,643 is the key hurdleGold 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, gain major attention. Should the metal buyers manage to cross the resistance confluence, an upswing to the 200-SMA level of $1,678 becomes imminent on the way to the theoretical target surrounding the monthly high near $1,700.
Alternatively, pullback moves need to defy the triangle formation by breaking the $1,620 support. Even so, the yearly bottom of $1,614-15 could test the bears before directing them to the $1,600 threshold. Following that, April 2020 low and August 2019 top, respectively near $1,572 and $1,557, could entertain the sellers. In a case where the gold price remains weak past $1,557 the year 2020 low of $1,451 will be in focus.
Overall, gold sellers are running out of steam but the buyers need a clear break of $1,643 for even a small rebound.
USDJPY renews 24-year high with eyes on 141.60USDJPY prints a three-week run-up as it pierces the previous multi-day top to print the highest levels since 1998. Considering the RSI (14) uptrend, not overbought, as well as the bullish MACD signals, the quote is likely to approach the 140.00 threshold. It should be noted that the RSI could turn overbought at that level, given the minor space available, which in turn might trigger a short-term pullback before further advances. In a case where the prices keep rallying past 140.00, the 61.8% Fibonacci Expansion (FE) of the pair’s late March to early August moves, near 141.60, could gain the market’s attention.
On the contrary, a three-week-long ascending support line near 137.75 restricts the pullback of the USDJPY pair, a break of which could highlight the 50-DMA support level surrounding 135.90. If at all the pair drops below the 135.90 DMA support, an upward sloping support line from late May, near 132.10, will be the last defense of the bears before directing them to the 130.00 psychological magnet.
Overall, USDJPY buyers have some spare capacity to renew the yearly peak. However, the upside room is limited considering the RSI conditions.
USDJPY bears battle with key supportsUSDJPY renews its six-week low while extending the downside break of a five-month-old ascending trend line, as well as the 50-DMA. However, the pair’s further declines appear less convincing as the nearly oversold RSI and proximity to the horizontal support zone from late April, around 131.50-25 challenge the bears. Even if the quote drops below 131.25, a convergence of the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement (Fibo.) of March-July upside and the 100-DMA, around 130.00, could act as an additional filter to the south. It’s worth noting that the pair’s sustained south-run below 130.00 could make it vulnerable to drop towards the 50% Fibo. level surrounding 127.00.
Meanwhile, recovery moves might initially aim for the 50-DMA hurdle close to 134.35. Following that, the previous support line from March, around 135.80, could challenge the USDJPY buyers. In a case where the bulls keep reins past 135.80, the 137.00 mark appears the intermediate halt before challenging the recent multi-month high near 139.40 and the 140.00 psychological magnet.
Overall, USDJPY bears seem to run out of steam as they’re close to important support levels.
