Emini Dow Jones – Nasdaq

Emini Dow Jones September Futures longs at first support at 25720/690 worked perfectly several times as a scalping level on the bounces to first resistance at 25890/920. We have reached as far as 26029 as I write over night.

Nasdaq September Futures held just above best support at 10470/440 & initially topped exactly at the 10650/670 target.

Daily Analysis

Emini Dow Jones now through first resistance at 25890/920 allowing a further recovery towards 26080/100 before a retest of 26250/280. Be ready to buy a break above 26300 targeting 26450/480, 26610/630 & perhaps as far as the 3 week high at 26750/780.

First support at 25910/890 but below here targets a buying opportunity at 25720/680, with stops below 25600. A break lower sees 25680/720 work as resistance, targeting 25530/500 & 25430/380 for profit taking on shorts.

Nasdaq retests potential resistance at the new all time high at 10685/695, where we hit profit taking on Tuesday. Shorts still not a safe bet. A break above 10710 then next buy signal targeting 10735/745 & 10785/795.

Failure to beat the new all time high at 10685/695 (to confirm a short term sideways consolidation trend) targets 10640/630 with first support at 10560/530. Longs need stops below 10500. A break lower targets 10470/440, 10390, perhaps as far as a buying opportunity at 10325/315.

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.
