The following are the most recent pieces of Forex technical analysis from around the world. The Forex technical analysis below covers the various currencies on the market and the most recent trends, technical indicators, as well as resistance and support levels.
The EUR/USD pair rose during the session on Wednesday, and gained significantly. However, as you can see the 1.32 level has offered enough resistance to repel price. The candle itself does look supportive though, so I have to suggest that perhaps this market may have a bit of a bid in a going forward, and that is significant attempt to take out resistance may have been.
The AUD/USD pair initially rallied during the Wednesday session, but as you can see the 1.02 level acted as enough resistance to push price back down. The resulting candle for the Wednesday session was a shooting star, and the fact that it is at the bottom of a significant selloff is of course a very bearish sign as well. The 1.02 level acting as resistance doesn't help the case for the buyers either, as it was one support, and this of course could show a significant push lower.
The USD/NOK pair isn’t necessarily one that many of you will trade on a regular basis. However, the Norwegian krone is a liquid enough currency that successful trades can be placed using it. The first thing to understand about Norway's economy is that it is highly influenced by the price of crude oil. This is because many of those drilling rigs in the North Sea are actually Norwegian owned, and therefore the Norwegian krone is somewhat of a petro currency.
According to Christopher Lewis analysis of the EUR/JPY, “Going forward, I think that eventually the 131 level will get broken above, and the fact that the market is so strong going forward, I think that we will see a move towards the 135 handle at first, and perhaps even much higher levels”.
Gold prices continued to fall yesterday as the bulls failed to overcome the resistance level at 1486 to gain more momentum. It seems that major investment companies and funds are reluctant to buy gold after last month's sharp drop, which caused prices to break out of a massive consolidation area.
The British Pound is showing signs of weekness across most of the key currencies, but none are showing so clearly as the GBP/CHF. THis pair has now made a double top on the daily chart and printed a Pin Bar Reversal candle this time around, AND the double top is the right arm of a large daily 'W' formation, a reversal pattern in itself.
The WTI Crude market had a slightly negative session on Tuesday, continuing the lack of bullishness that we've seen over the last three days. The candlesticks for Friday and Monday both look very shaky at best, but I do see significant support at the $95.00 level. Going forward, I believe that this market is trying to run out of steam and start falling again, but until we get a close below the $95.00 level, I would be a bit hesitant to short this market.
The EUR/USD pair continue to grind sideways during the session on Tuesday, essentially staying in the center of the larger consolidation area that the market has been stuck in for over a month. I see the bottom of this consolidation area as being the 1.30 handle, and the top of it as being the 1.32 level. Until we break out of this 200 PIP range with significant momentum, I find this market very difficult to trade.
The AUD/USD pair fell during the session on Tuesday, which of course is a much of a surprise considering that the Reserve Bank of Australia cut rates to the 2.75% level. However, this market had an interesting reaction as not only did a breakdown, but it didn't break down significantly. Because of this, I feel that the support below must be fairly strong.
The EUR/JPY pair fell during the session on Tuesday, just as the Euro looked weak in general. This pair has an obvious breakout point at the 131 handle, an area that we can't clear quite yet. However, I feel that it's only a matter of time before this market does breakout, and I would be very aggressively long of it when it does.
According to the analysis of the EUR/USD and CRUDE OIL trader profited on a binary options platform.
The XAU/USD pair (Gold vs. the American dollar) closed the session slightly lower than opening but remained within the last six days trading range. Prices have been moving above the Ichimoku cloud on the 4-hour time frame for some time but the bears' camp at 1486 is blocking the bulls' way. Between Fed’s unlimited money printing, ECB's dovish stance and mounting tension in the Middle East, gold will be appealing.
The EUR/USD fell during the session on Monday, as you can see on the chart attached. However, you can also see that the market bounced off of the 200 day exponential moving average as well. This is kind of ironic, considering the fact that the market has sliced through this moving avere quite often recently, that it would even bothered to acknowledge it.
The WTI Crude market tried to rally during the session on Monday, and while he did managed to break above the $97.00 level at one point in time, and you can see that the market got pushed back down. As a result, this candle that formed for the Monday session is indeed a shooting star, and does look very bullish at this point in time.
The AUD/USD pair fell during the session on Monday, bouncing just above the 1.02 support level yet again. That being the case, it appears that this market is going to continue to grind sideways, as the 1.02 level has been massively supportive. This support has been there for roughly 18 months, and as a result I think that this pair will continue to struggle to get below this area.
