The USD is building upside momentum although the Aussie retains some lingering bullish potential. Gold is consolidating before another leg lower and low volume in stock […]

Daily FX Technical Strategy: Cross focus as USD consolidates

As the dollar unwinds intraday overbought signals at the start of the week, crosses have drifted off the sidelines but without suggesting a consistent story. EUR/GBP rallied sharply but this move must be kept in context of the downtrend of the last 10 months.

FX Market Technical Research

EUR/USD has held the initial test of the 55 day moving average, this is located at 1.3084. Rebounds are expected to remain tepid and we look for the Euro to remain under pressure and continue to regard the recent high at 1.3487 as an interim peak.

FX Market Technical Research

EUR/USD has eroded the 2 month uptrend support, this has yet to generate much of a sell off, and the market is finding some support from the top of cloud at 1.3096. This is expected to be eroded, technical indicators are negative – the daily RSI is breaking down and the daily DMI has a […]

Daily FX Technical Strategy – Kiwi takes flight

The combination of a slightly stronger USD and slightly weaker stock markets has undermined base metal prices and aluminium in particular. In FX markets, commodity currencies reflect this developing risk-off theme.
