EUR/USD: Euro may have found the bottom of the downtrend

Denis Joeli Fatiaki Independent Analyst

What happened in the last 24 hrs of the trading session?

EUR/USD: The Euro bounced at around the support trend line highlighted in yesterday's update at 1.13607 and made one attempt to break out at 1.14240 during the European session but was unsuccessful and retreated to 1.13950.

The Euro ended the European session with a high low which is an indication that the pair may have found the bottom of the current pullback and may start to make changes to the direction of the trend.

What is going on now?

EUR/USD: The Euro made only one attempt to challenge the current breakout point at 1.14240. However, the pair has bounced at 1.13950 support and the trend line highlighted on the chart and is now starting to show signs of life as it moves parallel to the support trend line and heads back up. The pair is currently trading at 1.14010 just above 1.13950 support and will need to hold above this point to continue to the upside.

My thoughts on what may happen

1. EUR/USD: The pair may have found long-term support as the current price action indicates a potential change to the direction of the trend could be underway. However, the pair will need to break and hold above 1.14240 to progress to its first target at 1.14798. The pair will also need to hold above 1.13950 support to avoid falling to 1.13607 support.

2. Support: 1.13950, 1.13607

3. Resistance: 1.14240, 1.14465, 1.14798

4. It is good practice to apply a stop loss to all your trades to protect your capital in case the market moves against your position.

5. Estimated target: 1.1478, 1.15330

AUD/USD remains above 0.7200 after China's trade data

AUD/USD sits above 0.7200 in the Asian session on Tuesday, near its highest level since May 14. The US Dollar stays under pressure as a rallying Japanese Yen outweighs support from hawkish Fed bets and geopolitical tensions. This, along with firming expectations for another RBA rate hike later this month, acts as a tailwind for the Aussie. However, mixed China trade balance data keep the pair restricted.

USD/JPY recovers to 154.00 amid hawkish BoJ repricing

USD/JPY is recovering from six-month lows of 152.89, retesting 154.00 in European trading on Tuesday. However, the upside attempts appear limited as Japan's upbeat wage growth data and Q2 GDP revision cement bets on a BoJ rate hike next week and continue to boost the Japanese Yen. Meanwhile, US Dollar selling remains unabated despite hawkish Fed expectations and rising geopolitical tensions, lending additional support to the pair.

Gold traders seem hesitant below $4,450 as Fed rate hike bets counter softer USD

Gold retreats to the lower end of its daily range heading into the European session, though it holds above the $4,400 mark amid a softer US Dollar. However, hawkish US Federal Reserve expectations, along with persistent geopolitical uncertainties, offer some support to the safe-haven buck and keep a lid on the non-yielding bullion.

Ripple and Stellar outlook: Hold bullish bias above EMAs as derivatives back upside

Ripple (XRP) and Stellar (XLM) hold above the key support zones on Tuesday, hinting at an upside move. Derivatives metrics further support the recovery, with both altcoins showing positive funding rates and rising long positions. Derivatives data shows a bullish tilt among XRP and XLM traders.

Diesel’s record $100 warning: The oil shock hiding in plain sight

The Oil market may look calmer than it did a few months ago, but diesel is sending a very different message.
