XAU/USD (GOLD):
Upside momentum slowed considerably Monday, consequently concluding the session unchanged.
In view of the weekly timeframe, bullion is seen crossing swords with the 2018 yearly opening level at 1302.5, which happens to merge with supply painted at 1309.3-1289.9 (red arrow). In collaboration with weekly structure, daily action is seen challenging...
USD/CHF:
Down 0.16% on the day, Monday’s segment witnessed an influx of safe-haven demand for the Swiss franc based largely on global equities shedding ground. This – coupled with the US dollar index extending Friday’s losses sub 96.00 – marginally forced the H4 candles beyond a trend line resistance-turned support (extended from the high 1.0008) and came within...
AUD/USD:
The Australian dollar yielded ground to its US counterpart Monday once price shook hands with its 0.72 handle. For traders who read Monday’s briefing you may recall the piece highlighted 0.72 as a number likely on the radar for many sellers this week.
The ingredients behind 0.72 as a sell zone are down to the following:
• Converges with a local H4...

USD/CHF:
