This week has been the third consecutive week of gains for DXY and this comes in stark contrast to the bearish trend that drove price in early-April trade. This week was of course a lift from the FOMC rate decision, and next week brings inflation back to center-stage with the Tuesday release of CPI. In DXY, we've only seen a mere 23.6% retracement of the 2025...
Over the past two trading sessions, oil has gained more than 4.5%, and is once again approaching the psychological barrier of $60 per barrel. This recent bullish movement persists despite OPEC+’s clear stance on increasing supply in June and the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) cautious outlook on global oil demand for the remainder of the year. As such, it...
Based on the fact that equity markets have surged higher amid trade optimism, one would have expected gold to head lower.

The US dollar had weakened after staging a rally the day before, while the situation between India...
Dow futures cleared not only the 200DMA on Thursday but also downtrend resistance dating back to the record highs set in February, suggesting a new trend may now be underway.

USD/CAD rebounded off the lower parallel of the March downtrend with a breakout of the weekly opening-range extending into pivotal resistance. Support now rests with the low-day close (LDC) / 61.8% retracement of the December 2023 advance / monthly open at 1.3778/98- a break / close below this threshold would be needed to mark downtrend resumption towards the...

Sterling finds itself walking a financial tightrope this week. The GBP/USD is delicately poised between transatlantic central bank decisions and murky trade headlines.

How EUR/AUD interacts with the 50DMA in the near-term may offer a useful steer on directional risks over the medium-term. For now, it’s bounced off the level, finding buyers after the initial disappointment from China’s latest support measures. Still, the long topside wicks on the past two daily candles, coupled with increasingly bearish momentum, suggest downside...

USDJPY remains above the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement zone at 139, stemming from the uptrend between January 2023 (127.20) and July 2024 (162.00).

Gold delivered a powerful signal pointing to a resumption of the bullish trend, completing a morning star pattern that saw it break out of the falling wedge it had been trading over the past fortnight. It would have been nice to catch the initial move, but all is not lost after the price broke above $3367 on Tuesday. The price has run hard, so I’m reluctant to...

In today’s session, BTC has once again posted a decline of over 2%, as the previous bullish bias struggles to break through the $95,000 resistance level.
