EUR/USD delays recovery

Downside risk has materialized, as the pair has reversed its direction at a resistance area 1.2790/1.2819 and is now charting a bearish engulfing pattern. EUR/USD gravitates towards a confluence of 100 and 200-day SMAs and may soon erode it, given that most of technical indicators continue to give "sell" signals and the price lacked bullish impetus after it first met

The interim uptrend, which started a couple of days ago, has successfully managed to continue, as today the XAU/USD exchange rate experienced another consequent movement upwards. As for now, the price is slowly approaching the weekly R1 at 1732, which might bring some bearish momentum, however, if it is breached, then the exchange rate will probably reach the 55-day SMA

NZD/USD trims gains

A recent breach of a bullish trend-line that has been respected by the market since mid-June proved to be false and NZD/USD has already returned within the upward-sloping channel. Nevertheless, the current position of the price is unstable and attainment of higher levels, such as 0.8202/18 and 0.8279/94, is required in order to claim that the pair has preserved its

USD/CAD targets 0.9917/0.9891

USD/CAD has closed above parity for several days, notwithstanding, it was unable to continuously remain above 1.0014/00 and has already slipped beneath 0.9987/72. The currency pair carries on gaining bearish momentum, as suggested by weekly technical studies, but should overcome 0.9942/31 and, most importantly, 0.9917/0.9891 before the medium-term outlook is changed to negative, as it is the key support at

AUD/USD consolidates just above 1.0386/68

On all relevant timeframes technical indicators suggest absence of any action by the price, which has moved only 10 pips since the start of the day, if we disregard shadows of the candle. Despite the outlook being currently neutral, the risk is to the downside, since fluctuations of AUD/USD are restricted by a major bearish trend-line at 1.0444/49 from above,

EUR/JPY recommences recovery

Even though with a little hesitation EUR/JPY still managed to climb over an intersection point of an up-trend and a down-trend resistance lines at 103.63, meaning that a sharp two-day rally of 270 pips initiated last Wednesday carries a significant amount of an upside potential. The closest targets are situated at 104.95 and 105.29/48, but are likely to strongly oppose

USD/CHF weakens

USD/CHF was unable to get a foothold above the 200-day SMA last week and thus the currency couple looks inclined to soften even further. The nearest target resides at 0.9393, although it is expected to give in eventually and pave the way towards 0.9364/43. In the meantime, resistances at 0.9422/29 and 0.9452/76 should prevent prolonged surges.

USD/JPY retreats from a high of 81.55

A sharp rally from 79.38/23, which is mainly formed by the 55 and 200-day SMAs, proved to be unsustainable and was halted ahead of 81.79/92, resulting in an inception of a bearish correction. The U.S. Dollar could weaken until the level of 80.89/67 is reached, though we also cannot rule out a deeper retracement, back to 79.38/23, as neither 80.25

GBP/USD is headed towards 1.5932/67

The cable preserves its upside potential and appears to be aiming for 1.62 in the medium term. At the moment the currency pair is confidently approaching a dense resistance area composed of a monthly S1, the 100-day SMA and several other studies. A close above 1.5932/67 would thus imply continuation of an up-trend, while a failure to breach it is

EUR/USD rebounds from 1.2740/19

EUR/USD is moving away both from the 100 and 200-day SMAs and is currently well-positioned to extend the rally through the nearest resistances up to a major bearish trend-line situated just above 1.30. Formidable support at 1.2740/19 should limit possible losses, since near-term technical indicators give a strong "sell" signal and suggest existence of a threat to a bullish scenario.

NZD/USD sets eyes on 0.82

USD/CAD plummets from parity condition

Parity condition/200-day SMA introduced more resistance than anticipated and pair plummeted almost 50 pips already. However, current market sentiment and technical indicators allow us to believe that it is just a temporary setback and, if even pair wont rally far above parity condition, it should stay in 1.00-1.004 (Bollinger band) boundaries for some time more.
