Technical Analysis – US100 index bulls wait above symmetrical triangle

Posted on October 15, 2019 at 1:10 pm GMT

US100 stock index looks to be filling a symmetrical triangle in the daily chart as the market managed to register another higher low this month at 7,460 but it remained below the resistance line drawn from the 8,033 record high. According to the RSI and the MACD an upward move is more likely than a downside correction as both indicators are pointing up in the bullish area. Questions, however, remain about whether the bulls are strong enough to close above the downward-sloping [..]

Technical Analysis – WTI oil futures resume slide, return focus to the downside

Posted on October 15, 2019 at 9:27 am GMT

WTI oil futures are looking increasingly bearish after slipping below the 50-period simple moving average (SMA). The short-term oscillators are turning negative. The RSI is accelerating the negative momentum, falling further below the neutral mark. The MACD is also pointing to negative pressures, dipping below the zero line. However, the SMAs reflect mixed signals and thus could yet manage to confine the price within a sideways market. To the upside, buyers have a tougher task in hand, as they would need [..]

Technical Analysis – GBPUSD violates March downtrend; cautiously bullish in short-term

Posted on October 15, 2019 at 7:42 am GMT

GBPUSD traders turned indecisive following last week’s impressive rally that drove the price slightly above the 1.2700 level and just below the 200-day simple moving average (SMA). The short-term momentum indicators suggest a cautiously bullish bias as the RSI and the Stochastics maintain an upward direction not far below the overbought territory. Regarding the market trend, however, technical signals are more optimistic since the pair has created a higher high around 1.2580 and a higher low at 1.2200, violating the downtrend [..]

Technical Analysis – Gold consolidates, capped by SMAs

Posted on October 14, 2019 at 10:10 am GMT

Gold buyers are attempting to tackle the converging simple moving averages (SMAs) in the sideways market. The 20-period SMA, from a flattened state deflected off the horizontal 100-period SMA completing a bearish crossover of the 50-period SMA, suggesting that the commodity is leaning more towards a short-term negative outlook. The short-term oscillators reflect weakening negative momentum. The MACD although below its red trigger line in the negative zone, looks to cross above it, while the RSI beneath its 50-level, is [..]

USDCAD trades between the converging simple moving averages (SMAs) with the sellers attempting to move underneath the 50-day SMA, after a deflection off the upper band of a two-month trading range. The signals from the tangled SMAs are indistinct.

Technical Analysis – GBPCHF looks overbought after steep rally

Posted on October 11, 2019 at 7:22 am GMT

GBPCHF staged an impressive rally on Thursday, recouping most of the losses recorded since mid-September and rising well above its simple moving averages (SMA) and the Ichimoku cloud on the four-hour chart. The forceful upside correction, however, looks fragile as the fast-stochastics and the RSI signal overbought conditions, indicating that the bullish action is running out of steam and downside pressures may occur in the short-term. To keep the bulls in play, the price needs to hold above 1.2380 and more importantly on top of [..]
