Technical Analysis

In the kickstart video for July 19th, I take a look at the three major currency pairs – the EURUSD, USDJPY and GBPUSD. The EURUSD has moved down continuing the decline from yesterday, and in the process tested its rising 200 hour moving average at 1.08794. That moving average will be a key barometer on

The USDCHF has continued to rebound from its session lows earlier this week, and in doing so, it has moved back above the 200-day moving average (MA) and the broken 38.2% retracement level. However, it is currently encountering resistance around the falling 100-hour MA near 0.8900, which aligns closely with the high of a recent

The USDCAD has climbed higher during the North American session following weaker-than-expected retail sales earlier today. This, coupled with a weaker CPI earlier this week, sets the stage for a rate cut by the Bank of Canada next week (Wednesday). Technically, the price has broken above a downward sloping trendline, maintaining the bullish trend established

FTSE China A50 Index Futures: A practical guide for investors The FTSE China A50 Index Futures (ticker: XIN9) are a vital tool for international investors aiming to tap into China’s vibrant A-share market. Traded on the Singapore Exchange (SGX), these futures mirror the performance of the 50 largest A-share companies listed on the Shanghai and

The AUDUSD is lower this week, but as the week works toward the close, the AUDUSD is running into a cluster of support as the week moves toward the close. The area comes in between 0.6676 and 0.6689. I targeted this area in the post from Wednesday saying: A break… could lead to another multi-technical

Fundamental Overview The Russell 2000 has been on an incredible run ever since the last US CPI report as the index had its best 5 days streak in 24 years. The goldilocks data was the catalyst for a strong rotation from big cap stocks into the small cap stocks, and the momentum was probably exacerbated

The GBPUSD moved higher yesterday, reaching its highest level since July 18, 2023, with a peak at 1.3043 before slowing. This move pushed the price above the July 28 high of 1.2995 and the psychological resistance at 1.3000. Today, however, the price has rotated lower, falling back below both the 1.3000 and 1.2995 levels, indicating

Fundamental Overview The Nasdaq posted its biggest daily decline since December 2022 yesterday as the rotation out of big tech stocks into more rate sensitive names continues. We can clearly see this internal market dynamic unfolding as the Russell 2000 and the Dow keep on gaining. In the big picture, the fundamentals did not change,

As the US trading session draws to a close, the USD/CHF has reached a key swing target area between 0.8818 and 0.88267. This level is crucial for both buyers and sellers. For dip buyers, it offers a low-risk entry point; if the price falls below this range, exiting is advisable to avoid potential market breaks.

Fundamental Overview The USD remains on the backfoot as the US data continues to point to resilient growth with falling inflation. Yesterday, we got a good US Retail Sales report suggesting that the stories of deteriorating consumer spending have been exaggerated. Overall, this should support the soft-landing narrative and be positive for the risk sentiment.

The EURUSD moved lower in the US session and in the process moved down to test the 50% midpoint of the trading range since the December 2023 high. That level comes in at 1.08695. The current price is at 1.0888. The bounce off that support target is a key bounce and bullish signal. Going back

Fundamental Overview The USD weakened across the board last week following another soft US CPI report and benign Jobless Claims figures. The market not only fully priced in a rate cut in September but also started to price in some chances of a back-to-back rate cut in November. Overall, we had a goldilocks data release

The price of crude oil futures is settling at $81.91. That is down $-0.30 or -0.36%. The high price reached $82.58. The low price was at $81.47. Technically looking at the daily chart the price remains below a topside trendline near $84.75. On the downside, the rising 100-day moving average is at $80.54 and remains

If there is someone on CNBC, that I like, it is Josh Brown from Ritholz Wealth Management. He does his homework. He is not opposed to using technicals (in fact he often relies on it). He accepts defeat. He lets his wins run. He is not perfect of course, but he makes a lot of

The US stocks are trading near highs after some declines yesterday. The correction was one day – at least for the S&P and the Nasdaq. The Dow industrial Average rose yesterday as did the small-cap Russell 2000. Today, all the major indices are enjoying strong gains. For the S&P, it erased its -49.37 or -0.88%

Crude oil futures are settling the day at $82.21. That is down $0.41 or -0.50%. For the trading week, the price is down -1.21% after closing last week at $83.16. The decline is the first after four consecutive weeks of gains which took the price up from a low during the week of June 3
