Daily HFT Trade Setup - EURUSD highs rejected in HFT sell zone!

FX Trading Revolution Team FX Trading Revolution

We are analyzing the trading activity of HFT algorithms in the Forex market this morning and notice that the EURUSD currency pair has already reached the light HFT selling pressure zone that is noted at 1.1714 and above.

Higher prices were strongly rejected in this area and EURUSD is already on the decline. The FxTR CCI indicator has started to shift to neutral while the Stochastic Oscillator shows a strong bearish divergence between the highs in the price and the highs in the oscillator as can be seen from the chart below. Our Master MACD has also turned neutral on the 1-hour chart this morning.

Also important is that the rejection of higher prices occurs in the same 1.1700 resistance zone where EURUSD was rejected last week. The pair has now formed a double top pattern here inside of the light HFT selling pressure zone.

Risk reward favors short positions today with entries around current levels offering a 2:1 reward to risk ratio. Stops can be placed just above the 1.1720 Friday highs with targets toward the light HFT buying pressure zone - noted at 1.1634 and below. The 1.1620 and 1.1600 levels are also support zones.

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

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.
