GBPUSD looks to be creating a floor above the Ichimoku cloud and slightly below the 50.0% Fibonacci retracement level of the downward wave from 1.3200 to 1.1409, near 1.2307. The bullish crossover of the 20- and 40-period simple moving averages (SMAs) is confirming the recent upside correction in the 4-hour chart after the aggressive dive […]

WTI oil futures for May delivery have been in quite a sideways trade since the plunge to an 18-year low of 20.50 last week on the four-hour chart.

GBPCHF’s recent pullback seems to be struggling to decisively close above the area from the 1.1671 inside swing low – from August 2019 – to the fresh highs of 1.1717, after plotting an all-time low of 1.1109. The short-term oscillators reflect increasing positive momentum for now. The MACD, in the positive zone, has improved slightly […]

Gold’s reputation as the ultimate safe haven asset took a real beating lately, as the collapse in stock markets forced investors to ‘sell everything’ in order to meet margin calls. Yet, that might be about to change. With central banks unleashing a tsunami of quantitative easing (QE) at a time when fear is running rampant […]

EURJPY managed to hold above its recent low of 116.11 this week even though the 121.00 resistance area added some pressure. The positive performance in the market, however, is not the only good news. More importantly, the pair seems to be forming a double bottom pattern around 116.00 in the weekly chart which could be a bullish […]

USDCHF is extending its downside correction off the 0.9900 peak past the fresh low of 0.9717 and into the Ichimoku cloud slightly underneath. Aiding this move is the recent bearish crossover within the declining Ichimoku lines and the strengthening negative demeanour in the short-term oscillators. The MACD is descending under its red trigger line and […]

The pound is not usually synonymous with risk-sensitive currencies. That label is commonly used to describe commodity-driven currencies such as the Australian and Canadian dollars that move in tandem with global risk sentiment. But with the United Kingdom now formally having left the European Union, Brits could not have picked a worse time to ‘go […]

NZDUSD continues to consolidate within the Ichimoku cloud over the last couple of sessions, following the pullback from the eleven-year low of 0.5468. The pair remains above the bullish crossover within the 20- and 40-period simple moving averages (SMAs) in the 4-hour chart, confirming the recent upside tendency. Technically, the RSI is pointing up in […]

The spotlight is now turning to the ascending trendline as the RSI and the Stochastics are retreating in the bullish area. The […]

GBPJPY’s pullback from the multi-year low of 123.97 appears to be displaying symptoms of weakness after reaching back to the 133.13 level, which is the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the down leg from 147.95 to 123.97. Backing this view is the downward sloping blue Kijun-sen line and the intact bearish mode within the Ichimoku lines. […]

EURUSD recovered in recent sessions following an aggressive sell-off, but the bulls seem to be having trouble overcoming a downtrend line drawn from the March peak. The near-term outlook therefore remains negative for the time being, though a break above the downtrend line and more importantly above the 1.0890 zone, could turn it back to […]
