Last week saw gold bounce back after holding its one-year old bullish trend line and support around $3,120-$3,167 range. As well as that, this area was also the point D of an AB=CD move, sometimes called a bullish Gartley pattern. This area will be key on any future dips – bearish if we go below it. For now, gold is consolidating, but starting to look a bit...
Over the last five trading sessions, USD/MXN fluctuations have shown a variation of barely 1%, indicating the emergence of sustained neutrality in the pair's recent moves. For now, the slight bearish bias in USD/MXN has managed to maintain a steady downward trend, as the Mexican peso benefits from short-term weakness in the U.S. dollar—as shown by the DXY index,...
USD/CAD has responded to confluent support at 1.3714/29 - a region defined by the 78.6% retracement of the September rally and the 38.2% retracement of the 2021 advance. Note that the 25% parallel of the descending pitchfork converges on this threshold over the next few days and a break / close below is needed to fuel the next leg of the decline / mark downtrend...
WTI crude is grinding into a pivotal horizontal support near 6,020 after another sharp rejection near the 50-day SMA: Support at Risk: Price is pressing into the horizontal support zone formed by May’s lows (~6,020). A clean break below would shift momentum back decisively to the downside. Bearish Structure: Price remains well below both the 50- and 200-day...
USD/CAD is clinging to key horizontal support around 1.3780 after a recent sharp decline: Support Retest: Price briefly dipped below the 1.3780 area before buyers stepped in, forming a potential short-term base.

The USD/JPY has rallied decisively today, aided by the shift in Japanese bond sentiment. The pair has broken several short-term levels and moving averages. At the time of writing, it was trading bang in the middle of the 144.00 -144.80 resistance area, formerly support. We also have the 21-day exponential moving average residing here. As things stand, the next...

The U.S. dollar, pressured by debt concerns, has declined toward critical 2025 lows near the 98 level. Meanwhile, the euro has stabilized near 1.1380, now trading above the upper boundary of a 16-year descending channel originating from the 2008 peak and extending through 2024. This breakout positions EUR/USD for a potential long-term bullish move—provided the...
How many more failures above $33.50 will silver bulls need to see before they step aside and let the market correct? Nine times since mid-April we’ve seen the level breached, only for price to reverse lower—providing a decent short setup if and when the bulls give up. Positions could be established around the level with a stop above $33.69 for protection,...
Over the past five trading sessions, silver has managed to sustain a significant short-term bullish move, posting a steady gain of just over 4%. The current bullish bias has remained relatively consistent, as global risk perception stays elevated, mainly due to the ongoing back-and-forth of the trade war. In his recent comments, President Trump announced that he...
USD/CHF is teetering on .8200 horizontal support, with a break of the level opening the door for a move towards the April low at .8040. With price and momentum indicators both trending lower, and Friday’s bearish engulfing candle warning of further dollar weakness, the ducks appear to be lining up for downside near term. If the price breaks .8200 and holds...
The case for EUR/USD upside was looking good even before Donald Trump’s latest tariff backflip on EU imports, with Friday’s engulfing candle joining momentum indicators like RSI (14) and MACD in generating bullish signals. With the price banging on the door of minor resistance at 1.1380, a bullish setup has been generated. If the price can clear 1.1380 and hold...
GBP/USD has just done something that hasn't happened in three years, trading above the 1.3500 level. The last time this happened in the pair was before the Federal Reserve began the rate hike campaign in 2022, and over the past four months its been a strong reversal of more than 1,400 pips as USD bears have taken back over. At this point weekly RSI is showing in...
Timing moves can be difficult on both long and short-term basis. But when price goes oversold on the weekly chart, it can be really difficult to chase the move lower, such as we saw in DXY back in late-April. The currency hit a major spot of confluent support on Easter Monday and at that point RSI on the weekly was in oversold territory for only the second time...
It was a painful week for both USD and USD/JPY bulls as both markets retreated massively following four-week spurts of strength. In both, a Monday breakout in the prior week was soundly rebuffed, but it still seems as though USD/JPY is driving USD markets and the prospect of greater carry unwind can keep that as a force to be reckoned with. There could be...
USD-weakness was back in a big way this week and even as other pairs had yielded to the USD-breakout into last Monday, with fresh lows in EUR/USD and fresh highs in USD/JPY - USD/CAD retained its bearish structure with a hold of resistance right at the 1.4000 level. Price is now 250ish pips lower as sellers have went back to work and there's potential for...
