Brian Twomey Brian's Investment

Yesterday's EUR/AUD as written was oversold and heading higher from 1.5422 and achieved 1.5552 or 130 pips. AUD/USD as written below 0.7617 targets 0.7589, 0.7561 and 0.7504. AUD/USD achieved 0.7531. From 0.7591 yesterday, AUD/USD traded +60 pips.

Next AUD/USD targets 0.7504 then begins oversold at0.7477.

EUR/AUD big break for higher is located at 1.5653 and a massive line at 1.5628. As EUR/AUD tops are close then signifies AUD/USD bottom at 0.7506. Time today to reverse the trade as short EUR/AUD and Long AUD/USD.

For AUD/USD shorts today are located at 0.7582 and 0.7577 to target bottoms at 0.7515 and 0.7506.

EUR/AUD big break lines are located at 1.5588 and 1.5557.

AUD/EUR today informs EUR/AUD wider ranges are located at AUD/EUR bottoms at 1.5620 and tops at 1.5460. EUR/AUD bottom today is located at 1.5460 and long to target 1.5499. EUR/AUD short point at 1.5589 and 1.5557 targets 1.5518.

AUD/USD ranges as EUR/AUD and AUD/EUR must decide to break AUD/EUR 0.6392 or 1.5644 and EUR/AUD 1.5653. Once EUR/AUD and AUD/EUR is decided then wider targets are factored for AUD/USD. We haves moves but no strength of trend nor conviction to wider targets.

The difference between EUR/AUD and AUD/EUR is exactly 47 pips as AUD/EUR ranges maximum at 33 pips and EUR/AUD at 79 pips. AUD/EUR normally ranges in daily Asia trade from 15 to 17 pips. It trades 1/2 its allowable distance while EUR/AUD trades 39 pips or 1/2 its allowable distance. AUD/USD is caught in the middle to trade 17 or 39 pips.

EUR/AUD longer term supports are located at 1.5205 and 1.4772. I wouldn't trust a 1.4900 target.

The currency price is a monster and extremely difficult to master. Takes years however if the currency price is conquered then every market price on the planet is much easier to know and profit. But once the currency price is known fully, profits and trading life becomes much easier.

Tomorrow NFP and a holiday which means the Central banks may or may not offer a tradeable price. In which case the only manner to trade NFP is to offer 24 hour trades issued Thursday afternoon. The only other option is to not trade NFP's.

EUR/USD flirts with daily highs, retargets 1.1900

EUR/USD regains upside traction, returning to the 1.1880 zone and refocusing its attention to the key 1.1900 barrier. The pair’s slight gains comes against the backdrop of a humble decline in the US Dollar as investors continue to assess the latest US CPI readings and the potential Fed’s rate path.

GBP/USD remains well bid around 1.3650

GBP/USD maintains its upside momentum in place, hovering around daily highs near 1.3650 and setting aside part of the recent three-day drop. Cable’s improved sentiment comes on the back of the Greenback’s irresolute price action, while recent hawkish comments from the BoE’s Pill also collaborate with the uptick.

Gold clings to gains just above $5,000/oz

Gold is reclaiming part of the ground lost on Wednesday’s marked decline, as bargain-hunters keep piling up and lifting prices past the key $5,000 per troy ounce. The precious metal’s move higher is also underpinned by the slight pullback in the US Dollar and declining US Treasury yields across the curve.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP in choppy price action, weighed down by falling institutional interest

Bitcoin's upside remains largely constrained amid weak technicals and declining institutional interest. Ethereum trades sideways above $1,900 support with the upside capped below $2,000 amid ETF outflows.

Week ahead – Data blitz, Fed Minutes and RBNZ decision in the spotlight

US GDP and PCE inflation are main highlights, plus the Fed minutes. UK and Japan have busy calendars too with focus on CPI. Flash PMIs for February will also be doing the rounds. RBNZ meets, is unlikely to follow RBA’s hawkish path.

Ripple Price Forecast: XRP potential bottom could be in sight

Ripple edges up above the intraday low of $1.35 at the time of writing on Friday amid mixed price actions across the crypto market. The remittance token failed to hold support at $1.40 the previous day, reflecting risk-off sentiment amid a decline in retail and institutional sentiment.
