AUD/JPY snaps the series of higher highs and lows carried over from last week after struggling to test the March high (95.75). In turn, AUD/JPY may continue to give back the advance from the start of the week, with a move/close below the 92.80 (50% Fibonacci extension) to 93.30 (23.6% Fibonacci extension) zone bringing the monthly low (91.42) on the...
NZD/USD gives back the rebound from earlier this week to hold below the monthly high (0.6023), and lack of momentum to hold above the 0.5900 (23.6% Fibonacci retracement) to 0.5930 (78.6% Fibonacci extension) region may push the exchange rate towards 0.5820 (38.2% Fibonacci retracement). Next area of interest comes in around 0.5740 (78.6% Fibonacci retracement)...
GBP/JPY pulls back ahead of the January high (198.26) to halt a five-day rally, with the recent weakness in the exchange rate keeping the Relative Strength Index (RSI) below 70. Lack of momentum to push above the 195.70 (61.8% Fibonacci extension) to 196.60 (23.6% Fibonacci extension) region may push GBP/JPY towards the weekly low (193.39), with a break/close...
The recent rally in the price of oil seems to be stalling as it struggles to extend the series of higher highs and lows carried over from last week. In turn, crude may give back the advance from the weekly low ($61.02), with a break/close below the $59.20 (78.6% Fibonacci retracement) to $60.90 (78.6% Fibonacci retracement) zone bringing the monthly low ($55.30)...
Gold has been trending lower amid growing risk appetite with stocks surging higher. With no big bearish catalyst in sight for stocks, the market mood is optimistic and that means the pressure on gold is growing for a drop. The big macro driver has been a thaw in US-China trade tensions. With tariff rollbacks on both sides and negotiations showing real progress,...
1.1200 is the key level to watch for traders, with price action around it likely to provide better guidance than the barrage of conflicting macro takes doing the rounds right now. If the price remains below it, establish shorts with a stop above it for protection, and vice versa if the opposite occurs. Even with Tuesday's snapback, the edge still leans slightly...
Price marked an outside-weekly reversal off key support last week with USD/CAD rallying more than 1.9% off the lows. The advance is now testing initial resistance hurdles at 1.3962/97 - a region defined by the 52-week moving average, the 2022 swing high, and the 23.6% retracement of the yearly range. The immediate focus is on a reaction off this mark with key...
Over the past five trading sessions, the EUR/JPY pair has climbed nearly 2% in favor of the euro, once again reaching a key resistance zone in the short term. For now, the bullish bias remains intact, driven by the weakened yen, which has lost demand in recent sessions. As a safe-haven currency, the yen has struggled to hold investor interest as trade tensions...
The GBP/USD sold off Monday on the back of the US-China trade truce, which lifted the dollar. Today, we saw a rebound in major currency pairs including the cable. But was Monday's price action following the weekend developments a game changer? I think it was, and feel the US dollar has more room to the upside. For that reason, I am expecting the GBPUSD to hold...
As shown in chart above, price action is hovering near the neckline of a well-defined double top pattern, formed between December 2024 and February 2025, similarly across the Dow and SPX500 charts. This reinforces a key resistance zone that could either validate a more sustainable bullish outlook into 2025 — or trigger another correction if rejected. Nasdaq...
In line with the inverted head and shoulders formation seen on the DXY from its 2025 lows, EURUSD has completed a breakout of its own head and shoulders pattern, reaching the 1.1070 target. With the 4H RSI rebounding from oversold territory, a bullish bounce for EURUSD appears likely toward the 1.1140 level. A clean hold above this resistance could extend gains...
GBP/JPY has been on a run with more than 1,000 pips gained on the pair from the April 9th low around the 185.00 handle. There's been a few different clean setups, as well, such as the ascending triangle when the 190.00 level was holding as resistance, and then support. The BoJ rate decision helped to prod JPY weakness and then there's been widespread...
Along with other risk assets, crude oil has had a positive day, albeit a much quieter one compared to the major indices. It has been held back in part by the dollar also finding good support. So, I think a large part of the rally today in WTI is just a function of the market pricing in higher demand because of lower tariffs. Thus, it is the removal of a bearish...
News of a preliminary trade agreement between the U.S. and China fueled a rally of more than 1.1% in the US Dollar with the index surging into confluent downtrend resistance today at 101.77/92 - a region defined by the objective September high and the high-day close (HDC). A topside breach / close above this threshold is needed to suggest a more significant low...

EUR/USD bears took another step forward to start the week and at this point the structure on the four-hour chart remains clean, with a fresh lower-low to go with the recent build of lower-highs. The weekly chart looks similarly toppy as the pair is now working on its fourth consecutive weekly loss, following the shooting star formation that showed up in...
