Technical Analysis – USDMXN prints a bearish doji and pulls back

Posted on August 29, 2019 at 1:02 pm GMT

USDMXN is printing a red candle in the four-hour chart after creating a bearish doji, signaling the continuation of the negative correction. The RSI has also reversed south after peaking slightly below its 70 oversold level, providing additional discouraging signals for the near-term. Yet, as long as the RSI hovers above its 50-neutral mark, any weakness could appear short-lived. On the way down, the 20-period simple moving average (SMA) could curb bearish actions ahead of the ascending trend-line which is currently [..]

Posted on August 28, 2019 at 3:31 pm GMT

The bulls continue to dominate, something also signaled by the momentum indicators’ bullish demeanor. The MACD is rising and distancing itself from its red trigger line in the positive territory, whilst the RSI despite moving further into the overbought region, has turned down. Although no clear reversal signals are apparent, caution for a short-term [..]

Posted on August 28, 2019 at 8:41 am GMT

AUDUSD has endured a 20-day trading range with upper boundary of 0.6820 and a lower boundary of 0.6734. The bears seem to be in control, keeping the price closer to the lower boundary, but have yet to close below it.

The momentum indicators are also implying that the negative directional momentum could pick up, bringing a new [..]

Technical Analysis – GBPJPY puts upward pattern in standby mode

Posted on August 28, 2019 at 7:22 am GMT

GBPJPY sat on the sidelines after confirming the start of an uptrend by creating a higher low at 127.45 and a higher high at 130.68 in the four-hour chart. The pair is likely to stay uneventful in the short-term as the RSI and the Ichimoku indicators are flattening and the MACD is rising slowly. However, the fact that the technical measures remain in bullish territory and the 20-period simple moving average (SMA) holds above the 50-period SMA suggests that the positive bias, [..]
