Technical Analysis – USDCAD needs rally above 1.3100 for bulls to gain traction

Posted on January 17, 2020 at 8:27 am GMT

USDCAD is retreating below the 50- period simple moving average (SMA) in the four-hour chart which nicely kept the bears under control on Thursday. Technically the pair could perform neutral to negative in the short-term as the RSI is slipping below 50 and the MACD is fluctuating marginally below its zero and signal lines, whilst in Ichimoku indicators, the red Tenkan-sen line which is moving below the blue Kijun-sen line is another discouraging signal. Below the Ichimoku cloud, the 1.3000 [..]

Posted on January 16, 2020 at 3:51 pm GMT

USDCHF having cracked below the 2019 trough in the last minute in December it ticked to 15-month low of 0.9612 on Friday. The bearish short-term bias remains intact but oversold signals are strengthening now as the RSI is testing the 30 level and the Stochastics are diving below 20, while the price itself is already close to the lower Bollinger band, all hinting that the negative action may be running out of steam. The middle Bollinger band currently at 0.9729 [..]

Technical Analysis – USDTRY pulls back, but maintains broader upward trajectory

Posted on January 16, 2020 at 3:09 pm GMT

USDTRY posted some losses in recent sessions, after the bulls met resistance at the 5.985 top. Yet, the pair continues to print higher highs and higher lows above both its 50- and 200-day simple moving averages (SMAs), which keeps the overall outlook positive. For that to change, the bears would need to post a low beneath 5.68. Short term oscillators suggest that the latest retreat may continue in the immediate term. The RSI, already below 50, is pointing down – [..]

Posted on January 16, 2020 at 3:05 pm GMT

Providing some backing towards this view is the momentum indicators and the Tenkan-sen line, which has distanced itself below its flat Kijun-sen line. In the short-term oscillators, it looks as if negative momentum may be picking up. The MACD is in the negative zone, looking to return below its red trigger line, while [..]

Posted on January 16, 2020 at 1:23 pm GMT

Posted on January 16, 2020 at 11:40 am GMT

Japan 225 stock index (cash) has run out of fuel in its second attempt to overtake the 24,162 level.

Posted on January 16, 2020 at 10:12 am GMT

The RSI entered the overbought territory and is still pointing up, while the MACD surpassed its trigger line with strong momentum. To the upside, the pair needs to overcome today’s top (114.30) to meet a key barrier near 114.60, registered on December 2018.

Posted on January 16, 2020 at 8:08 am GMT

USDJPY is stuck below the 110.00 level after closing above the strong resistance trendline stretched from mid-September 2018. In the short-term, the pair is expected to trade with caution as the slowdown in the RSI’s positive momentum, which is currently near its former peaks, and the negative intersection between the Stochastics in the overbought area, suggest that the bullish action may be running out of steam. If the price retreats, the resistance trendline should turn a support area to verify [..]

Posted on January 16, 2020 at 7:48 am GMT
