Technical Analysis – GBPUSD unlocks 3-month high; holds in ascending channel

Posted on November 24, 2020 at 8:18 am GMT

GBPUSD came close to breaking the eight-and-half-month high of 1.3487 on Monday, finishing the day at new three-month high slightly below the 1.3400 handle. Moreover, the price has been developing within an upward sloping channel since September 23, holding above the simple moving averages (SMAs) and the Ichimoku cloud. According to the RSI, the market could maintain positive momentum in the short-term as the indicator is positively sloped above its neutral threshold of 50, and the MACD oscillator is holding above its trigger and zero lines. On the [..]

Technical Analysis – AUDUSD suppressed by key resistance section

Posted on November 23, 2020 at 4:12 pm GMT

AUDUSD is retreating below the 50-period simple moving average (SMA) at 0.7290, after deflecting off the upper Bollinger band, currently encompassed in the resistance ceiling of 0.7324-0.7344. The advancing 100- and 200-period SMAs are promoting strength in the pair, while the 50-period SMA is transmitting a more neutral tone. The short-term oscillators mirror the recent weakening in the price. Strengthening negative momentum is displayed in the dipping of the RSI underneath its 50 mark and the declining stochastic %K line [..]

Technical Analysis – US 500 index edges east, capped by 50-MA

Posted on November 23, 2020 at 2:30 pm GMT

US 500 index (Cash) appears to be stuck trading between the 3,511 and 3,640 levels. The price seems to be consolidating underneath the 50-period simple moving average (SMA) after retreating from the upper boundary of the sideways move. The rising 100- and 200-period SMAs are sponsoring the positive picture, while the directionless Ichimoku lines and the flattening 50-day SMA are endorsing the short-term horizontal bias. The short-term oscillators are reflecting weak momentum but are slightly tilting to the upside. The [..]

Technical Analysis – Gold range bound; foundation floor under pressure

Posted on November 23, 2020 at 9:49 am GMT

Gold recently has been tiptoeing around the base of a more than two-month sideways market, after plunging below the Ichimoku cloud and the 50- and 100-day simple moving averages (SMAs). The slipping 50-day SMA and the unclear bearing of the horizontal Ichimoku lines, are promoting consolidation in the yellow metal. The short-term oscillators reflect conflicting signals in directional momentum. The MACD, in the negative region, is holding below its red trigger line, while the stochastic %K line is pushing over [..]

Technical Analysis – USDJPY finds strong support around 103.70; continues to drift lower

Posted on November 23, 2020 at 9:12 am GMT

USDJPY remains under pressure and risk is still to the downside as prices continue to drift lower from the 105.65 resistance. However, the pair is finding strong support around the 103.68 level. The short-term technical indicators are flattening and point to more weakness in the market. Looking at the 4-hour chart, prices are looking capped by the 20-period simple moving average (SMA) and the red Tenkan-sen line which are negatively aligned. The RSI indicator is holding in the negative region with weak momentum, while the [..]

Technical Analysis – EURUSD consolidates around 1.1900; indicators are flat

Posted on November 23, 2020 at 7:53 am GMT

EURUSD has been trading within a consolidation area of 1.1611-1.1960 over the last four months, remaining above the Ichimoku cloud and the short-term simple moving averages (SMAs) the last five days. According to the technical indicators, the RSI is moving sideways in the positive area and the MACD is standing above its trigger and zero lines with weak momentum. Immediate resistance could come from the 1.1915 barrier, tested several times in the past. Driving the market higher, the 1.1960 hurdle [..]

Technical Analysis – Tesla’s stock shoots to new record high after joining S&P 500

Posted on November 20, 2020 at 1:03 pm GMT

Tesla’s stock overshot above a symmetrical triangle in the four-hour chart and unlocked a fresh record high of 508.26 after its entrance to the S&P 500 community, but failed to close above September’s top of 501.50 on Thursday. The Stochastics is seeking a turning point above their 80 overbought mark as the RSI seems to be slowing pace while remaining comfortably above its own 70 overbought level. In other indicators, the red Tenkan-sen is also reflecting some uncertainty about the positive momentum in the price as [..]

Technical Analysis – US 30 index range bound; skewed positive above 29,195

Posted on November 20, 2020 at 10:49 am GMT

US 30 stock index (Cash) is facing the capping 50-period simple moving average (SMA) at 29,502, after improving a bit off the lower Bollinger band at 29,195. The index, ever since it logged a fresh all-time-high of 30,091 on November 9, has been trading in a ranging market between 28,838 and 30,091. That said, the flattening 50-period SMA and the conflicting signals in momentum within the short-term oscillators, promote a developing horizontal picture. The MACD is in the negative zone [..]

Technical Analysis – NZDUSD rallies towards previous high of 0.6945

Posted on November 20, 2020 at 9:54 am GMT

NZDUSD is trading not too far from the 0.6945 resistance level and momentum indicators suggest there is still some optimism for the pair to advance again. The near-term bias is looking bullish as the RSI is edging north in the bullish area, while the MACD is trying to extend its movement above its trigger line. Price action at the moment is above the Ichimoku cloud so the risks are to the upside. Should the pair make another run higher, it’s likely to [..]

Technical Analysis – GBPJPY puts breaks on decline after trendline rejection

Posted on November 20, 2020 at 9:00 am GMT

GBPJPY drifted higher and above all its daily simple moving averages (SMA) on the back of encouraging vaccine news and Brexit hopes last week, though the support-turned-resistance ascending trendline was there once again to block the way above 140.00. The area around the blue Kijun-sen line managed to stabilize the downfall from the trendline around 137.33 and the price is currently trying to return above the 50% Fibonacci of the 142.69 – 133.00 downleg. In momentum indicators, the Stochastics favour [..]
