The EURUSD is beginning to show signs of a reversal as momentum shifts and moves above its 10-day exponential moving average. The EURUSD has recently experienced a significant move since early February, rising to a high of 1.147, which resulted in it becoming overbought, touching its upper Bollinger band, and pushing the RSI above 70. Now, after a brief pullback,...
Gold is breaking down and may now have formed a double top pattern. The precious metal fell below the neckline of the double top at 3,230, which implies that gold prices have further to fall. A projection of that double top suggests that gold could fall to around $3,000.
There is more at play here, suggesting that something deeper could be unfolding for gold....
The US trade war continues to generate volatility and uncertainty across asset classes. Following trade talks over the weekend between the US and China, US Treasury rates have risen, and the dollar has strengthened against its peers.
This movement has pushed EUR/USD back down to around $1.11, with support near $1.109. Additionally, the pair has fallen below the...
The US dollar has weakened recently against other major currencies including the euro, pound and yen. While it may not have grabbed the headlines, there’s another currency we can add to that list: the Canadian dollar.
The Canadian dollar – which was trading at around C$1.45 per US dollar at the end of January – may continue to strengthen against its southerly...
The Nasdaq 100 has staged an impressive rally over the past two weeks, climbing more than 12% since Monday 21 April to close at roughly 19,970 on Monday 5 May. However, if there were a point at which the advance might pause, it could be near current levels. The index has risen to a key area of technical resistance in the 19,900 to 20,200 range, which could prove...
Natural gas prices have fallen by nearly 30% since early March and now appear to have reached oversold conditions, suggesting a potential bounce of more than 10% back to $3.75 per million British thermal units. Natural gas has risen above its 10-day exponential moving average (EMA), indicating a possible short-term trend change. The 10-day EMA, which previously...
Gold prices have pulled back from the high reached on 22 April and, more importantly, are nearing a break from the recent period of consolidation. Gold is forming a descending triangle, which could provide clues about the direction prices will take.
Typically, a descending triangle is considered a bearish continuation pattern. In this instance, gold has been...
Gold appears to be showing signs of finally cracking after an impressive run higher, with the excitement surrounding its rally potentially approaching a crescendo. The precious metal experienced a sharp intraday reversal on 22 April, a decline that continued into 23 April. Since the recent uptrend began in mid-March, gold has consistently found support at its...
USD/CAD has strengthened significantly over the past few days as markets have been shaken by President Trump’s new trade war with Canada and the rest of the world. That said, USD/CAD may be due for a pause in its recent rally and could consolidate somewhat, having reached some key technical indicators and support levels.
The loonie’s relative strength index fell...
The Nasdaq 100 has continued declining, attempting to find some support after breaking below the August 2024 lows on 4 April. The next obvious support levels lie around the late 2021 and 2022 highs, which, for now at least, are offering some stability. It would not be surprising to see the index test that region during the trading session.
However, a break below...
The Nasdaq 100 has had a rough start to 2025, plunging by nearly 15% over the year so far. Even with the recent rally, the technology-heavy index remains down almost 9%, and where it goes from here appears less certain. Many investors seem to believe that a V-shaped “snapback rally” is due, but the technical pattern — resembling a broadening megaphone — suggests...
The Canadian dollar has strengthened slightly against the US dollar recently and appears to be preparing for another significant move. USD/CAD began weakening around 14 March after it failed to break through resistance at CA$1.445 and fell to the uptrend at CA$1.428. USD/CAD is gearing up for a potential breakout as a symmetrical triangle nears completion.
The...
The diamond pattern in gold has played out, but instead of a reversal pattern, it acted as a continuation pattern this time. However, it is possible that the pattern has been completed, and gold could pause its recent rally before resuming its upward bias.
Measuring from the top to the bottom of the diamond to project the move in gold from the breakout point...
USD/CAD could strengthen over several trading sessions as it moves below an uptrend, with momentum, as measured by the relative strength index (RSI), turning negative. This could strengthen USD/CAD to around CA$1.415 from its current rate of CA$1.433.
USD/CAD has been unable to rise back above CA$1.45 despite multiple attempts since mid-February. The pair’s...
EUR/USD has strengthened materially following news of EU plans to increase defence spending. This has resulted in yields across Europe rising sharply and, more importantly, spreads widening against US Treasuries.
At the same time, US rates have fallen materially as growth fears take hold due to the Trump administration’s new tariff plans. When comparing the chart...
