Weekly forex data: markets look ahead to the NFP

The golden cross of the 50 SMA over the 100 a fortnight ago came ahead of more gains, although price has now moved clearly into overbought based on the slow stochastic (15, 5, 5). The weekly Fibonacci fan has probably lost relevance now that the medium-term trend is clearly upward, but 61.8% might still limit…

Weekly forex data: oil in view ahead of the NFP

From a technical perspective, oil’s uptrend since last summer is clearly still active for now. Brent has failed to break below the 50 SMA from Bands, and there is currently no indication of overbought from either Bollinger Bands (50, 0, 2) or the slow stochastic (15, 5, 5). The key area on this chart for…

Weekly forex data: stimulus progress boosts markets

Tomorrow and early Wednesday are likely to be quite active for EURAUD between German trade data and consumer and business confidence in Australia. Apart from these, the general mood in markets might continue moving further toward ‘risk on’ if Chinese and American inflation are perceived as being strong.

Weekly forex data: stimulus still in view

The obvious pivot point on this chart is the 100% weekly Fibonacci retracement area, i.e. complete retracement of all the euro’s gains in March 2020. A clear breakout below $1.655 might trigger another leg down over the next few weeks. On the other hand, with price having been generally oversold or close to it for…

Weekly forex data: inflation around the world

The downtrend for EURGBP continues to be very strong from a technical perspective, with clearer spaces forming between the 50, 100 and 200 SMAs and price extending below the 38.2% area of the weekly Fibonacci fan. Oversold is an important concern for new sellers here, though, with the slow stochastic (15, 5, 5) having displayed…

Weekly forex data: focus on inflation

From a technical perspective, the uptrend still seems to be active on this timeframe: there has been no clear breach of the 100 SMA. However, price has now moved out of oversold based on both Bollinger Bands (50, 0, 2) and the slow stochastic (15, 5, 5), so more losses this week might be expected…

Weekly forex data: central banks, trade and the NFP

There seems to be more room for gains here by the US dollar from a technical point of view. Moving averages are below the price, with none except the 200 SMA having offered significant resistance in the second half of January, and the 50 SMA from Bands is about to complete its golden cross of…

Weekly forex data: inflation in view

From a technical perspective, support around $1.35 has yet to be clearly broken. Despite the recent movement below both the 50 and 100 SMAs, selling volume remains low this week so far and we now have clear oversold signals from both the slow stochastic (15, 5, 5) and Bollinger Bands (50, 0, 2). Both of…
