GBPUSD sellers taking more and more control in trading today

The GBPUSD has moved lower in trading today.  The early catalyst was getting below its 100 hour moving average (blue line in the chart below). The price then moved down and below a swing area between 1.2386 and 1.2397. The 200 hour moving average is also near that area 1.23989 and is now close risk for sellers.  Stay below 1.23989 (call it 1.2400), and the sellers are more in control.

EURUSD falls helped by weaker ISM services data today

The EURUSD is moving to a new session low in early US trading. The pair is being helped by weaker ISM services data today (and perhaps better jobs on Friday in the US - although it was mixed). Technicals are bearish below a swing area between 1.0690 and 1.0704. Stay below is more bearish today. The price is also below the 100 and 200 hour MAs, tilting the bias to the downside. On the downside, the next target comes in at 1.0660 and then the...

The NZDUSD buyers tried to extend higher, but failed. What now?

The buyers in the NZDUSD tried to break higher on Friday, moving above a key 200 hour MA on the hourly chart and swing level on the daily chart. However, momentum failed and the price rotated lower.  Prior to the rally on Thursday and Friday, the price did break below the 50% midpoint of the range since 2021 low on the daily chart opening the door for lower levels.  That break also failed leading the snap back rally higher.  So for the week,...

The AUDUSD runs higher on Friday but stalls at a key level. What next?

The AUDUSD made new cycle lows this week, but bottomed midweek and moved higher on Thursday and Friday. The move back to the upside took the pair back into a "red box" that confined price action for 3-months.  The break failed. The buyers returned.  However, the run to the upside on Friday ran into resistance against the high of a swing area on the daily chart, and a key retracement level on the hourly chart (the May trading range)....

USDCAD sellers take the price below key 100/200 day MAs tilting the bias to the downside

The key move technically in the USDCAD last week, was the move back below the 100 and 200 day MAs. That tilted the bias more to the downside for the pair from a technical perspective. The other thing of note from the daily chart is the convergence of the 100/200-day MAs. That is indicative of a non-trending longer-term market which could be a clue for a break outside of the range... soon. Non-trend transitions to trend.   The video will outline the...

The week ahead: USDCHF sellers had their shot on Friday, but missed.

The USDCHF sellers had their shot on Friday on the break of the 200-hour MA, but could not sustain momentum. The better US jobs report started the wheels in motion for a move back to the upside. That took the price back above the 200 and 100-hour MAs in the process (at 0.90564 and 0.90718 respectively).  However, there is also key upside target resistance at 100-day MA and the 50% retracement of the 2023 trading range both at 0.9126. That level...

EURGBP sellers remain in control, but some key support held this week

The EURGBP fell to the lowest level since December 2022 this week. The run lower moved into a swing area on the daily chart which has done a good job of defining resistance and support going back in time (to as far as 2021).  The holding of that level has given buyers some support to lean against. The price for the pair is higher today. Having said that, drilling into the hourly chart, the price remains below the following 100 hour moving average...

What key levels are in play for the EURUSD ahead of the US jobs report

As the market awaits the US jobs report, the EURUSD has positioned itself between key moving averages. On the topside the 100 day moving average and 38.2% retracement of the range since the April high is resistance near 1.0811. On the downside the 200 hour moving average 1.07312 and the 100 hour moving average 1.07151 would need to be broken to increase a bearish bias.

The sellers in the USDJPY are making a technical play

The price remains below its 100 hour moving average, and is also below its 200 hour moving average.

Yields are also now in negative territory with the 2-year yield down around 1 basis point and the 10-year down -3.1 basis points.
