by

The EURUSD moved lower early in the US session but did fins support buyers near a swing area between 1.15422 and 1.15549.

GBPUSD rebounds off trendline support but key resistance levels loom

2026-03-06

by

GBPUSD held support at an upward-sloping trendline on the hourly chart earlier today and then pushed higher, breaking above the 100-hour moving average and holding above it into the New York afternoon session. That move gives buyers something to build on in the near term. However, there is still work to be done to strengthen the bullish bias. The next upside hurdles include the 100-day moving average at 1.3395, followed by the falling 200-hour...

2026-03-06

USDJPY is trading higher on the day despite weaker U.S. jobs data. The move has been supported by favorable technicals, with the low for the day holding near the rising 100-hour moving average at 157.45, which also aligns with an upward-sloping trendline at roughly the same level. With the price currently above those supports, buyers retain the near-term control. A move back below that support zone would give sellers a foothold and could open the...

USDCAD Technicals: USDCAD breaks lower as oil surge weighs on the pair

2026-03-06

The decline has pushed the price below the key trading range between 1.3624 and 1.3724, triggering further selling momentum. With that break, the pair has moved through additional swing levels at 1.3603 and 1.3593 and is now targeting the next downside level near 1.3575. For the bias to...

AUDUSD Technicals: AUDUSD based at a floor near 0.6972 but has work to do . What next technically

2026-03-06

by

The AUDUSD bias remains tilted to the downside, but support near 0.6972–0.6985 has stalled the decline over the last three trading days, with those lows holding above Tuesday’s weekly low at 0.6945. A break below 0.6972 would likely open the door for further downside momentum. On the topside, the 100-hour moving average near 0.7040 has capped rallies on Thursday and Friday. Moving above and holding that level would target the 200-hour moving...
