USDJPY defends the previous day’s retreat from a two-month high as traders await Tuesday’s US Confederation Board’s (CB) Consumer Confidence figures for June. In doing so, the Yen pair remains mildly offered between the upper line of a seven-week-old rising trend channel and an upward-sloping previous resistance line stretched from early May. It’s worth noting,...
Crude Oil struggles to defend the previous two-week uptrend early Monday, after reversing from a seven-week high on Friday. Even so, a 13-day-old rising support line restricts the black gold’s immediate downside to around $80.30. Also challenging the energy sellers are the bullish MACD signals and upbeat RSI (14) conditions, not overbought. However, the looming...
Gold price seesaws at the highest level in a fortnight early Friday, after rising the most in five weeks the previous day. That said, a successful breakout of the 50-SMA and a downward-sloping resistance line from May 20 backed the precious metal’s run-up on Thursday. Apart from that, upbeat RSI and bullish MACD signals also keep the XAUUSD buyers hopeful of...
EURUSD lacks clear directions early Thursday after rising in the last three consecutive days. In doing so, the Euro pair fades Friday’s rebound from an upward-sloping support line stretched from October as sentiment dwindles amid the return of full markets after the previous day’s Juneteenth holiday in the US. Apart from the struggle to defend the recovery,...
GBPUSD stays defensive after recovering from a one-month low in the last two days. That said, the Cable pair’s latest inaction could be linked to the trader’s cautious mood ahead of the UK’s top-tier data/events, namely Wednesday’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Thursday’s Bank of England (BoE) Monetary Policy Announcements. However, the quote’s sustained trading...
WTI crude oil pares the biggest daily gain in a week while posting mild losses near $79.50 early Tuesday. Even so, the black gold holds onto the previous trading beyond the 200-SMA and a downward-sloping resistance line from late April. Also keeping the energy buyers hopeful are the bullish MACD signals and upbeat RSI (14) line. It’s worth noting, however, that a...
USDJPY struggles to defend a two-day winning streak and the weekly gains while jostling with a seven-week-old symmetrical triangle’s resistance line early Monday. In doing so, the Yen pair also prints an inability to cross a broad resistance zone comprising tops marked since late April, around 158.00-158.50. However, the quote’s sustained trading beyond the...
WTI Crude Oil picks up bids to reverse the previous day’s retreat from a seven-week-old falling resistance line, close to $78.65 by the press time. In doing so, the black gold recovers from a 50% Fibonacci retracement of December 2023 to April 2024 upside, near $77.70. Given the bullish MACD signals and upbeat RSI conditions underpinning the commodity’s rebound,...
The US Federal Reserve’s (Fed) hawkish halt failed to impress the US Dollar buyers as softer inflation data raised doubts about the central bank’s one rate cut in 2024 projections. The same allowed the Gold price to refresh weekly high during its three-day uptrend by the end of Wednesday. However, failure to cross the key SMAs and a looming “Death Cross” of the...
EURUSD licks its wounds at the lowest level in six weeks as the pair traders await the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) for May and the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting of the US Federal Reserve (Fed). Also important are the final readings of Germany’s inflation data for May and speeches from a slew of European Central Bank (ECB) officials. In doing so,...
GBPUSD stays defensive above 1.2700 as traders await the UK’s monthly employment data early Tuesday. In doing so, the Pound Sterling keeps the previous day’s recovery from a seven-week-old rising support line and the 21-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA). Monday’s rebound also justifies an uptick in the RSI (14) line but fails to gather momentum amid bearish...
USDJPY extends Friday’s recovery from the 50-SMA while rising toward a six-week-old descending resistance ahead as the week comprising monetary policy announcements from the US Federal Reserve (Fed) and the Bank of Japan (BoJ) begins with mixed sentiment. It’s worth noting that the Yen pair’s sustained trading above the 50-SMA joins the upbeat RSI (14) and an...
Gold braces for the first weekly gain in three even as it seesaws at the highest level in a fortnight early Friday. That said, the precious metal’s latest inaction could be linked to the cautious mood ahead of the US monthly employment data including the headline Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP). Even so, the quote’s capacity to reverse from a month-old rising support line,...
EURUSD prints the first daily gains in three while approaching the top line of a two-month-old rising wedge bearish chart formation. Apart from the 1.0920 upside hurdle comprising the stated resistance line, the European Central Bank’s (ECB) widely expected rate cut also poses a challenge to the major currency pair’s further upside. Additionally, the sluggish MACD...
AUDUSD picks up bids to consolidate the biggest daily loss in a fortnight early Wednesday even as Australia’s Q1 GDP growth softens to 0.1% QoQ and 1.1% YoY respectively versus 0.3% and 1.6% priors in that order. The Aussie growth numbers also slide beneath market forecasts of 0.2% QoQ and 1.2% YoY. However, prices recover from the 100-bar Exponential Moving...
GBPUSD rises to the highest level since mid-March by crossing an 11-month-old descending resistance line, now immediate support near 1.2800. The bullish MACD signals and the Pound Sterling’s ability to trade successfully beyond the 100-SMA also underpin the upside bias. It’s worth noting, however, that the nearly overbought RSI (14) line challenges the quote’s...
WTI Crude Oil prints a four-day losing streak while falling to over a week’s low early Monday. In doing so, the black gold fails to justify the OPEC+ decision to extend the supply cut agreement toward the end of 2024 and gradually withdraw it in 2025. It’s worth noting, however, that a four-month-old horizontal support zone surrounding $76.20-75.80 will join the...
EURUSD marked the biggest daily gain in a week the previous day while bouncing off the 200-SMA as the Eurozone data came in overall positive while the US statistics mostly disappointed. Also allowing the Euro pair to rebound from the key SMA level is the consolidation ahead of today’s first readings of the EU inflation data and the US Core Personal Consumption...
