EUR/USD and Cross Pairs: Levels, Ranges, Targets

Brian Twomey Brian's Investment

NZD is most affected by USD changes to interest rates because its next in line after NY markets close, its the nation to open Asia trade and NZD Dairy is priced to USD. Most importantly, NZD sits behind the smartest and most forward RBNZ. As usual, Its the only central bank ahead of the curve. NZD/USD has been volatile and will continue its volatility to beat its counterparts AUD/USD, USD/CHF and USD/JPY.

The must break line for NZD below is 0.7231 then further supports at 0.7110 and 0.7016. Above 0.7453 and a stasis line exits as next break point. Current NZD is overbought and we're looking lower.

Further why NZD trades is the common theme this week for a vast majority of pairs is a tight tight market and containment within 40 pip ranges. 40 is the number this week as overbought oversold hits current prices.

AUD/USD's range problems as mentioned must result in a higher AUD to relieve the pressure. What happened was AUD went higher. Supports exists at 0.7531 and 0.7520. We're looking lower for AUD and selling rallies.

Remember January's CAD/MXN at overbought 15.00's. CAD/MXN jumped to 16.70 then went on a long dive to current 13.44. Its price is low low especially in relation to CAD/JPY, EUR/USD, CAD/USD and EUR/USD. Yet CAD/MXN's price on its own volition is low low. Above breaks are located at 13.99 and 14.03 vs below at 12.96 and 12.47.

CAD/JPY is overbought and big break below is located at 83.01.

CAD/ZAR Resistance points 9.7629, 9.7649 and 9.8845 Vs below at 8.6247. Higher in CAD/ZAR sends EUR/USD much lower. CAD/ZAR at current 9.66 and break at 9.76 then look out below EUR/USD.

EUR/JPY. Supports 122.59 and 121.52. Not a favored long pair as massive resistance has been built into current prices for the past week, today is no different as 124.90's should contain EUR/JPY.

AUD/CAD. Support 0.9916 Vs Resistance at 1.0076 and 1.0135. Explains EUR/JPY lack of upside.

EUR/USD. Stuck today from 1.1144 to 1.1249. We selling above and buying below.

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.
