EUR/USD surges after consolidation phase

EUR/USD finally broke higher from its consolidation phase, with price remaining within a trend of higher highs. That recent failure to break below $1.1572 was telling, with the 76.4% Fibonacci level ultimately providing a good buying opportunity.

We are looking at a clear bullish short-term trend set against a bearish longer-term picture. With that in mind, further upside should be expected until we see the price break from this trend of higher lows (below $1.1582).

GBP/USD rebounds but risks another move lower here

GBP/USD has been largely consolidating this week, with price drifting lower in the wake of the gains seen in the first three-weeks of October.

There is a good chance that this current phase is a precursor to us heading higher, but bullish positions are favoured above $1.3829. Until then, there is a risk we see this pair fade to continue the recent retracement phase.

AUD/USD continues to move higher as pair hits three-month high

AUD/USD has been on a consistent uptrend over the course of October thus far, with the price rising back into levels not seen since July.

That trend looks likely to persist from here, with a break back below the $0.7453 level required to negate this bullish trend.

EUR/USD claws back some losses

After Friday’s losses, EUR/USD's small recovery has taken place, but it is far from clear that the buyers are regaining the upper hand.

The failure to push on above the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) last week would suggest the sellers are in control, but at present the view is more neutral. A recovery above $1.17 would put the price back on a more short-term upward footing, while a drop back below $1.1534 would suggest a fresh move to the downside is underway.

GBP/USD heads lower

The GBP/USD price has rolled over in definitive fashion, and in a way that suggests we could see October’s gains further eroded as the downtrend reasserts itself.

The fall back below $1.37 and the lower highs in late October point towards a bearish view, and the price action over the past three days has certainly favoured the sellers.

EUR/USD remains at risk despite Monday’s gains

EUR/USD has been trying to regain lost ground over the course of this week, coming off the back of Friday’s sharp decline for the pair.

However, with a wider bearish trend in play, that break below $1.1572 does highlight the potential for another turn lower before long. With that in mind, a bearish outlook holds unless the price rises up through $1.1692 resistance.

GBP/USD continues to head lower

GBP/USD is on the back foot ahead of tomorrow’s Bank of England (BoE) meeting. While we are expecting to see the bank raise rates, there are questions over whether the meeting will provide a more dovish stance in regard to future rate movements.

The downward trend of lower highs seen over the course of the past three-months does highlight the potential for a bearish continuation move like the one currently taking place. As such, further downside does look likely, with the continued creation of lower intraday highs key to that. A rise up through $1.3693 would be required to bring about a wider upside move for the pair.

Source: ProRealTime

USD/JPY continues to consolidate below key resistance

USD/JPY has been consolidating below the long-term resistance level of ¥114.73 of late. The near-term trend does still remain bullish, but that does raise the risk of a near-term pullback.

However, a decline through ¥113.00 would be required to provide that bearish signal. Instead, we have seen another 76.4% Fibonacci support level come into play here, with the price on the rise since. As such, there is a good chance we remain within this consolidation pattern, with a break through either ¥113.00 (bearish) or ¥114.73 (bullish) bringing a fresh signal for traders.

EUR/USD

The dollar has strengthened once again with EUR/USD, and this has put further downward pressure on the pair.

A move back to the October lows at $1.1524 now seems likely, with a firm bearish view still in place. Additional declines would target $1.1392, a key level back in 2020. A more bullish view requires a move back above late October’s high at $1.168.

Source: ProRealTime

GBP/USD

Dollar strength is pushing GBP/USD lower, but there is the potential for a recovery should the Bank of England (BoE) prove to be more hawkish than expected.

Today could see heightened volatility around the interest rate decision and press conference, but with the rate increase so widely expected it could equally pass without much incident. The reversal from yesterday’s highs near $1.37 suggest a more bearish view prevails, with $1.355 and then $1.345 coming into view. Buyers will want to see a move back above $1.37 that then brings the late October highs around $1.384 into view.

EUR/USD turning lower once again

EUR/USD has started to fade this morning, following a strong end to the week. The recent retracement phase appears to be over, with the price creating lower highs over the course of the past fortnight.

That points towards this latest rise being a likely short-term rise before the bears come back into play. With that in mind, another bearish phase looks likely from here, with a rise through $1.1616 required to bring about a more bullish view. To the downside, a break through $1.1514 is key in exiting this month-long period of consolidation.

GBP/USD turning lower once again, following BoE selloff

GBP/USD has been hit hard since last week’s Bank of England (BoE) meeting, with the price reversing all the gains seen throughout October. The pair is heading lower once again this morning, with the key $1.3412 support level providing a notable hurdle for the bears.

The wider downtrend seen over recent months does point towards a potential decline through that support level. While there will be limits to this decline, we are yet to see a signal that the bulls are coming back into play. As such, a break through $1.3516 would be required to bring about a more positive outlook.

AUD/USD weakness looks like retracement phase

AUD/USD has been losing ground over the course of November thus far, with the pair looking to be within another retracement phase given the bullish pattern seen since the August low.

Thus far we have moved back into the 50% retracement, signalling the potential for another bout of downside. However, whether it takes place here or at a lower Fibonacci support level, there is a good chance we soon see the bulls come back into play for this pair. A rise up through the prior swing high (currently $0.747) would bring a bullish reversal signal.

EUR/USD bounces from support

EUR/USD bulls will be hoping that the pair can see its way to a broader recovery now that the price has managed to arrest its decline for the time being. The price has bounced from $1.1524, holding the October low.

A move towards $1.17 could now be contemplated, or at least a move back to the 50-day simple moving average (SMA), currently $1.167. Sellers will be hoping for a renewed drop that challenges $1.1524.

GBP/USD rebounds as BoE disappointment fades

Last week’s sharp decline with GBP/USD has been partly recovered, which will give some hope that a higher low has been created, compared to the September low, and that a new bounce can begin.

Gains will target $1.37 and then onwards towards $1.385. Sellers will view talk of a higher low as contentious at best, and that instead a move back towards $1.34 can test this support zone.

USD/JPY pullback continues

The retreat with USD/JPY from the October highs is still in play, with the price now heading towards the ¥112.00 swing high from late September, and then to the 50-day SMA at ¥111.92.

But the uptrend is firmly intact and we will be on watch for a higher low to be created that will reinforce the bullish view.

EUR/USD starts to roll over once more after recent rebound

EUR/USD has been on the rise over the course of this week thus far, with the pair regaining lost ground since Friday’s low of $1.1513.

A break up through the $1.1617 resistance level would bring a more positive picture into play. However, we are instead seeing the bearish trend kick back in here, with the decline below $1.157 highlighting the beginning of a downward turn.

GBP/USD rolling over after recent rebound

GBP/USD has started to weaken after a retracement into the 61.8% Fibonacci resistance level at $1.3593.

The selloff seen over the course of the past fortnight looks like it could soon come back into play, with a bearish trend still relevant until the price rises through the $1.3698 resistance level. Until then, there is a chance we could see the price turn lower and head back towards the $1.3411 support level.

AUD/USD pullback continues as the price hits 4-week low

AUD/USD has continued its decline, with the pair dropping back into a four-week low. However, the wider trend points towards a trend of higher lows, with the recent period of weakness looking like a retracement before we turn higher once again.

For now, we could see further downside in a bid to continue this bearish short-term trend. However, the wider picture does point towards a strong likeliness that the pair turns higher once again before long, with a rise up through the prior swing high (currently $0.7432) required to bring that wider bullish view back into play.

EUR/USD continues to decline, with yesterday’s drop providing the break below support that reinvigorates the downtrend currently in play.

The $1.1392 level becomes the next to watch to the downside as sellers seize control. The overall view has remained firmly bearish following the rally to the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) at the end of October.

GBP/USD pushes to the downside

The GBP/USD decline has revived, heading towards the lower bound of the wide descending channel in place since late July.

The expected USD/JPY bounce has materialised here, and now the price looks set for a resumption of the move towards ¥114.50, and higher if the uptrend is set to continue.

EUR/USD falls back into trendline support

EUR/USD has been on the back foot over the course of the week, with the price breaking $1.1514 support and moving swiftly into trendline support. This raises the risk of a rebound for the pair, although we are yet to see any such sign as it stands.

A move up through the $1.1477 level could bring about expectations of a wider retracement phase. However, we will ultimately require a rise through $1.1609 to bring about a more reliable bullish signal for pair.

GBP/USD falls into 10-month low

GBP/USD has been on the back foot following a hesitant The Bank of England (BoE) rate decision, with the pair falling into a 10-month low. However, we are seeing the pair turn higher this morning, with the price heading towards the $1.3433 swing high.

A break up through that level would bring about an upward phase and potential retracement of the wider sell off from $1.3607. As such, keep a close eye out for whether or not we break $1.3433 as a key gauge of sentiment for the day ahead.

AUD/USD downtrend continues despite early rebound

AUD/USD has similarly been regaining ground this morning, with the price moving up towards the $0.7311 swing-high.

EUR/USD saw plenty of downside over the course of the past week, with the pair slumping into a fresh 15-month low.

We are starting the new week with consolidation around trendline support, with a chance that we could soon build another upward retracement phase as a result. A push through the $1.1487 level would bring such a rebound into play. Until then, the sell-off remains in play as the price contends with trendline support.

GBP/USD rebound showing signs of weakness

GBP/USD has been attempting to regain lost ground of late, with the price on the rise on Thursday and Friday.

However, the bearish trend does remain intact unless the price pushes up through the $1.3607 swing-high. While the relatively shallow nature of this latest rally brings the potential for further upside here, a break back below 80 on the stochastic would bring risk of another bearish turn for this pair.

AUD/USD starts to regain ground after deep pullback

AUD/USD is on the rise once again this morning, following on from the rebound seen on Friday. The wider pattern of higher lows is worth noting given the latest fall back towards the 76.4% Fibonacci level ($0.7261).

With that in mind, there is a chance we see the pair push higher from here to continue that pattern. However, we would need to see a break up through $0.7431 to bring greater confidence that this rebound will persist. Until then, there is still a good chance of a bearish turn to continue the intraday pattern of lower highs and lows.

EUR/USD continues to plumb new depths for the year, lurching lower yesterday to a level below $1.14 for the first time since July 2020.

The next target to the downside is the $1.124 swing high from the very end of 2019. So far there is no sight of a more bullish short-term move, and even a rally towards $1.16 would still provide the potential for a lower high and a reinforcement of the downtrend.

GBP/USD bounce continues in cautious fashion

Things are looking a touch better here for GBP/USD bulls, although even here the pair is still edging up only from a lower low.

A rebound from here towards the upper bound of the current daily descending channel would see the pair head back towards $1.37. Sellers at present may look for a reversal of the past three sessions of gains, which in this case would see $1.3365 broken to the downside and a firmly bearish leg lower begin.

EUR/USD rebounds off lows

The dramatic slump of the past three weeks seems to have paused for now, as EUR/USD price rallies back above $1.13, having fallen below this level only two days after dropping below $1.14.

It is still too early to argue that a lower low is in, and the price could easily roll over and resume its move to the downside. A recovery above $1.14 would help reinforce the view that a bounce could be in play.

GBP/USD struggles higher

GBP/USD has managed to eke out some gains over the past week, but without much real momentum. It has been knocked back from the day’s highs so far this week, with gains faltering as the price nears $1.345.

This suggests that sellers retain the upper hand, and we look for a reversal below $1.34 that would renew the bearish view. A rally above $1.345 would start to suggest a near-term bounce is in play.

Hopes of a bigger rebound have been dashed for now as AUD/USD price slumped back to $0.73 yesterday.

EUR/USD rebound gathers pace

EUR/USD looks like there might be some short-term strength to this bounce, as the price edges up after rebounding yesterday.

If nothing else, the yawning gap between the price and the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) at $1.1606 would suggest some kind of reversion, although given the strength of the downtrend we should not expect this to run too far. Any rebound would still likely set up a possible shorting opportunity with a more compelling risk-reward outlook than the current price action.

After making heavy weather of it over the past week with GBP/USD, yesterday finally brought the bounce the bulls were looking.

Like EUR/USD, this rebound is likely to be short-lived, but a move towards $1.3575 and then the 50-day SMA at $1.3639 now looks to be a possibility. From further up, however, we should still expect selling pressure to build, maintaining the overall bearish outlook.

A move up through the likes of $0.7291 and $0.737 would be needed to build a stronger case for such a bullish resurgence.

EUR/USD continues to fall

There is still no sign of a real rebound for EUR/USD, as sellers continue to pile in. Slight rebounds intraday merely provide selling opportunities, with no real change to the overall picture.

The latest swing-high of $1.1374 continues to provide the ‘line in the sand’; a firm bounce has to clear this to provide any change to the bearish narrative.

GBP/USD pushes to new low

Having hit a new lower low yesterday the way seems clear for the GBP/USD price to renew its move to the downside.

As with EUR/USD, rebounds merely set up fresh opportunities for sellers to add to positions, and unless the price can move back above $1.3515 this bearish view remains firmly in place.

USD/JPY hits new highs

Resurgent USD strength has pushed USD/JPY to a new high, and it looks likely that further gains are ahead, as the broader consolidation gives way to revived bullish momentum.

A drop back below ¥114.20 would be needed to negate this view.

EUR/USD edges higher but GBP/USD and AUD/USD under pressure

A bout of risk-off moves has put pressure on the pound and the Aussie, but EUR/USD is trying to hold firm.

EUR/USD attempts to move up

EUR/USD appears to have stabilised around $1.12 for now, but given the risk-off views across markets this respite may well be limited.

A rebound towards $1.14 would likely bring out the sellers once again, with a much bigger rally back to $1.15 needed to provide some evidence of a more bullish view emerging.

GBP/USD under pressure near $1.32

GBP/USD has hovered near a new lower low, as it breaks out of the descending channel that has been in place since July.

$1.3204, $1.3109 and then $1.3039 become the levels to watch on the downside, if selling gathers pace. A short-term rebound comes within the wider downtrend but could run back towards $1.347 and $1.3515.

AUD/USD slumps to lower low

The risk-off turn has amplified the move to the downside here with AUD/USD, and now the August low at $0.71 is under threat.

After a huge slump from the October peak the price seems content to keep moving lower, which could bring the $0.70 level itself into view.

EUR/USD rolling over after latest 76.4% retracement

EUR/USD has kicked off the new week on the back foot once again, with the upward move seen on Friday now reversing once again in the direction of the trend.

With the price having reached the 76.4% Fibonacci resistance level at $1.133, there is a strong chance we see another downside move. That bearish trajectory remains in place unless we see the price rise through the $1.1374 swing-high.

GBP/USD stabilising after latest decline

GBP/USD failed to see too much volatility on Friday, with Omicron repercussions impacting the Bank of England (BoE) and Federal Reserve (Fed) outlook alike.

With that in mind, the bearish trend remains in play, although an intra-day rise through the $1.3353 does signal the potential for a short-term bounce. A break up through the $1.3513 swing-high would be required to bring about a more positive wider move.

Source: ProRealTime

AUD/USD falls back into long-term support level

AUD/USD has been hit hard of late, with the price breaking back below the $0.717 support level to end the wider trend of higher lows.

That has taken us back down into the late-August low of $0.7106. A break below that threshold would signal a continuation of that recent bearish trend. To the upside, a rise through trendline and $0.7198 would bring about a more positive near-term outlook.

EUR/USD intraday higher high established

A short-term rebound continues to gather pace, with EUR/USD pushing back towards recent highs at $1.1374, having produced a higher high in early trading.

We look for a potential retracement towards $1.127 that will create a higher low for additional or new long positions, with this bullish view negated if the price drops back towards $1.124.

GBP/USD recovers to Friday peak

A more modest bounce here has seen GBP/USD return to the 26/29 November peak at $1.336.

Losses have stabilised for now around $1.33, although we have yet to see any bullish divergence on hourly stochastics. We look for a continuation of gains towards $1.339 and a new higher high, and await a possible higher low as a sign that the bullish view is gathering strength.

USD/JPY slumps below Friday low

The fall below the 26 November low hands the initiative to the sellers, with a USD/JPY bounce back towards ¥113.40 providing a lower high and a better risk-reward dynamic than at current levels.

A move back above ¥114.00 would be needed to put the buyers back in charge.

EUR/USD bounce stalls

Gains with EUR/USD have run into some resistance around $1.135, after the price succeeded in reaching the $1.1376 swing high from the middle of the month.

This bounce has failed to put much of a dent in the downtrend as yet, and a move back below $1.125 would certainly point the way to more losses.

GBP/USD trundles lower

A more steady downward move remains in place here with GBP/USD, as the price makes a new low.

The 50-period simple moving average (SMA), $1.1338 has helped contain any upside so far this week, and so far the bounce from $1.32 earlier in the week has failed to produce any bullish follow on.

USD/JPY in descending channel

Further declines seem likely with USD/JPY stuck in a descending channel that could open the way to ¥112.50 and lower.

Brief bounces this week have seen sellers emerge, and a move above ¥113.50 would be needed to begin to develop a more bullish view.

EUR/USD falls back into Fibonacci support

EUR/USD has been losing traction over the second half of the week, with the price falling back into the 61.8% Fibonacci support level of $1.1283.

The recent struggles to break through $1.1374 highlights the importance of this inverse head and shoulders neckline. A break back below the $1.1235 swing-low would bring about expectations of another bearish breakdown from here. Until then, a bullish turn would likely bring another challenge of the all-important $1.1374 neckline.

GBP/USD turning lower from trendline resistance

GBP/USD is on the back foot this morning, with the price turning lower from trendline resistance once again.

The failure to break from this trend of lower highs provides us with a continued bearish outlook, with that view holding unless the price pushes up through $1.337 resistance.

USD/JPY breaks resistance, bringing potential for ST gains

USD/JPY has managed to push up through the near-term ¥113.33 swing-high, helping to lift the tone for this under-pressure pair.

With the price having consolidated around the key ¥112.72 November low, this would be the kind of area that we could see a short-term rebound. As such, watch for a potential short-term move higher, with a decline through ¥112.67 required to bring the bearish trend back into play.

GBP/USD has been regaining ground this morning, with the price pushing up towards a descending trendline.

A push-up through the $1.3333 swing high resistance level, would be required to bring a more positive outlook for the pair. Until then, the current rise could bring about another move towards trendline resistance to continue the intraday trend of lower highs.

USD/JPY on the rise within recent consolidation phase

USD/JPY is on the rise this morning, with the pair looking to continue the consolidation evident around the ¥113.72 support level.

A move up through the ¥113.61 swing-high would bring greater confidence in a recovery from here, with tentative optimism around the Omicron variant bringing the potential for a reversal of this recent sell off. A break below the ¥112.50 level would be required to negate the notion of an impending bullish reversal.

EUR/USD continues to grind lower, with the pair losing traction as money flows back into those currencies that could benefit from monetary tightening in the coming months.

GBP/USD has rallied up into trendline resistance overnight, with the pair failing to gain traction starting to lose traction in the early hours of this morning.

USD/JPY breaks through resistance to bring bullish outlook

USD/JPY has managed to break up through the ¥113.61 resistance level overnight, bringing about a bullish signal after a period of weakness for the pair. That recent decline into trendline support came after markets considered the dovish implications for the Federal Reserve (Fed) if Omicron turned out to result in global lockdowns.

However, tentative signs of optimism over the mild effects of the Covid-19 virus have helped lift sentiment for this pair. Keep an eye out for future Omicron announcements to impact sentiment for the Fed and thus USD/JPY.

Short-term gains have been capped here with EUR/USD by trendline resistance from the 30 November high. So far there is little sign of a break higher, with a potential return to $1.12 if selling pressure builds.

Aside from this, we would look for a more bullish view should the price be able to clear $1.13.

GBP/USD gains capped by trendline

GBP/USD continues to show an unwillingness to head below $1.32, but as with EUR/USD trendline resistance from 30 November has prevented any move to the upside.

A move above $1.33 would be needed to open the way to some short-term bullishness, within the broader context of the downtrend of the past two months.

EUR/USD breaks resistance

EUR/USD has succeeded in breaking higher, pushing above trendline resistance yesterday. Gains however have stalled for now at $1.133, as they did at the beginning of the month.

Broader upside would require a move above $1.135, but the longer-term downtrend remains in place.

GBP/USD continues to struggle

Unlike EUR/USD GBP/USD remains under pressure, hit by changing expectations of a UK rate hike and the return to some Covid-19 restrictions.

The yawning gap between the price and the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) above $1.35 refuses to close, and so far there looks like no sign of a move to the upside, which would require at least a move back towards $1.33.

Gains with USD/JPY have stalled at ¥113.60, as the price retreats back below the 50-day SMA. This drop will need to move below ¥113.00 to indicate the sellers are back in control.

Alternately, the bullish view is revived with a move back above ¥113.80.

The EUR/USD bounce of earlier in the week has been reversed and now a move to the $1.1186 level seems likely.

This would then open the way towards further downside. The relatively weak bounce in momentum indicators such as stochastics points towards a resumption of the downtrend in due course.

GBP/USD still unable to bounce

After a small recovery yesterday the GBP/USD price is under pressure once again.

We look for a push back towards $1.316, as the downward move of the past month reasserts itself. A revival above $1.33 still looks a distant prospect for now, but would be needed to provide a more short-term bullish view.

Having rallied along with equity markets after a bruising decline in November, the AUD/USD price has stalled around $0.7185.

Hopes of a recovery are bolstered by EUR/USD price holding $1.125.

However, it will need to break trendline resistance from the late October high, which points towards a rally above $1.132. Bears will continue to look for any short-term strength as a selling opportunity, while a break towards $1.12 and below revives the downtrend.
