Technical Analysis – AUDUSD still bullish; encounters upside tensions

Posted on June 1, 2020 at 11:21 am GMT

AUDUSD today overcame the 0.6684 tough resistance from March 9, producing a nearly four-month high of 0.6772 and pushing the medium-term timeframe back into neutral territory. Although the price appears to have stalled ahead of the 0.6777 high from January 29, the Ichimoku lines retain their positive tone while the rising simple moving averages (SMAs) feed the bigger positive picture. The short-term oscillators at the moment display conflicting signals in directional momentum. Taking a glimpse at the RSI, it has [..]

Technical Analysis – USDJPY retreats near 100-period SMA; neutral picture

Posted on June 1, 2020 at 10:00 am GMT

USDJPY has reversed back down after finding resistance at slightly below the 108.00 handle. The momentum indicators are pointing to a neutral to negative bias in the short term with the RSI just below 50 and the stochastic oscillator deep below the overbought area. Further losses below the 100-period SMA should see the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level of the upward wave from 105.98 to 108.10 at 107.30. A drop below this area would reinforce the bearish structure in the short-term [..]

Technical Analysis – AUDJPY rally stalls near 200-day SMA; trendline in focus

Posted on May 29, 2020 at 7:44 am GMT

AUDJPY maintains a clear uptrend in the short-term picture, well supported by an ascending trendline, but now must face the 0.7150 level and the 200-day simple moving average (SMA), which appeared a strong resistance this week, to continue the bullish retracement of the virus-led sell-off. The RSI and the MACD are currently reflecting a weakening positive bias as the indicators seem to be losing steam. Hence, should the price further decelerate, the 70.20 level, which is the 61.8% Fibonacci of the down [..]

Posted on May 28, 2020 at 2:30 pm GMT

USDCHF presently below the 0.9700 mark, continues to zig zag above and below the mostly horizontal simple moving averages (SMAs) in a directionless market that has endured since early April. Glancing at the short-term oscillators, they too mirror weak directional momentum within the confines of 0.9588 and 0.9800. The MACD is just above its red signal line and barely beneath zero, while the RSI has just dipped below its 50 threshold promoting declines. Moreover, the stochastics are also uncertain around [..]
