EUR/USD

4 hour

The EUR/USD is building a minor correction within the larger uptrend (blue line). A bullish continuation is likely to see price test the 1.1750 round resistance level. The momentum is part of a wave 3 (orange) which is part of larger wave 5 (purple) of wave 3 (green).

1 hour

The EUR/USD broke the support trend line (dotted blue) of the rising wedge chart pattern mentioned in yesterday’s analysis. Price retraced back to the 38.2% Fibonacci level of wave 4 (purple) and bounced at the support level. The bullish breakout above the correction and resistance trend line (dotted red) could price move towards the Fibonacci targets of wave 5 vs 1+3.

USD/JPY

4 hour

The USD/JPY has bounced the 200% Fibonacci target of wave 3 vs 1 (orange) but the retracement could stop at the resistance trend lines (red and orange).

1 hour

The USD/JPY completed a wave 3 (green) and made a retracement to the 50% Fibonacci level of wave 4 vs 3. Price turned at the resistance and broke below the support trend line (dotted blue) which could indicate a bearish breakout towards the Fibonacci targets of wave 5 vs 1+3.

GBP/USD

4 hour

The GBP/USD could be building a correction via a WXY (purple) wave pattern. A break below the small channel (blue) would indicate the potential for price to retrace lower towards the 61.8% Fibonacci target of wave Y vs W.

1 hour

The GBP/USD is completing an ABC (grey) correction within wave X (purple) unless price manages to break above the channel, which could see price test the previous top and Fibonacci levels.

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

Ripple Price Forecast: XRP potential bottom could be in sight
