EUR/AUD has one final line of defence at 1.6120

Euro/AUD has one final line of defence at 1.6120 from a chart perspective. Stops will be triggered below 1.6100, as the R3 sits there, so that area is going to be crowded. Today’s Daily Pivot is 1.6298, but we only managed 1.6285, and with the market in a downtrend, the pressure remains on the downside unless buyers defend this zone.

If Euro/AUD is going to hold, then the 1.6145–1.6120 area is where contrarian traders will take their chance. No one wants to stand under a falling sword, but this is exactly the type of price action that creates chart patterns — otherwise Double Bottoms would never form.

From 1.6120, we saw a correction back to the 38.2% Fibonacci, and because that Fib held, it kept the downtrend intact while easing the severe oversold conditions. For me, I bite the bullet on this type of setup. I believe in chart patterns, but I also respect trends — so I’m only looking for a correctional move, not a trend reversal.

Stops sit below 1.6080, and I’d be looking to run this back toward the 1.6500 area. For me, it’s a no‑brainer.

For day traders, stick to the Daily Pivot Points — they project the market’s behaviour on a daily basis. Today we have:

  • DP: 1.6298.
  • S1: 1.6213.
  • S2: 1.6150.
  • S3: 1.6008.
  • S4: 1.5866.

Use them daily — they work.

This is a “close your eyes and do it” trade. It could be a corker if you get the timing right and avoid getting stopped out with everyone else below 1.6100. Give it room on the downside, and remember — you can always reverse if it continues to behave like a falling sword.
This is not to be construed as investment advice.

AUD/USD bounces off multi-month low, nears 0.6900

AUD/USD edges higher toward 0.6900 in the Asian session on Wednesday, recovering some of the previous day’s losses to its lowest level since March as the US Dollar stalls the hot US CPI-inspired rally amid hopes of a US-Iran peace deal. Meanwhile, hawkish comments from FOMC members have almost confirmed another December rate hike, which favors USD bulls and should cap the Aussie.

USD/JPY remains capped below 159.00 amid looming intervention risks

USD/JPY struggles to build on the previous day’s strong gains to a near one-month top as intervention risk supports the Japanese Yen while hopes of a US-Iran peace deal cap the safe-haven US Dollar. That keeps the pair's upside limited below 159.00, for now.

Gold puts the $4,000 mark to the test

Gold now accelerates its daily correction, challenging the key $4,000 mark per troy ounce on Wednesday. The precious metal’s continuation of the downward trend comes against the backdrop of a robust performance of the US Dollar, rising US Treasury yields across the board and rising bets of extra rate hikes by the Fed.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP struggle to find footing amid spot ETF outflows

Cryptocurrency prices are broadly consolidating near key lower support levels on Wednesday, led by Bitcoin, hovering around $74,000. Ethereum sits above $2,000 while its upside remains structurally capped. Ripple, meanwhile, holds delicately above $1.00.

Ten questions for China in 2027

2026 has been a year of slowing growth and increasing divergence within China's economy. We saw the gap between external and domestic demand, as well as between the new economy and the old economy, widen significantly. Here, we look ahead to the key questions facing China in 2027.

What the US CPI headline doesn’t tell you about inflation

Brent crude has fallen about a third since mid-October on hopes the Iran war is ending, but diesel, freight and fertiliser costs haven't followed. Those costs reach US consumer prices in stages through 2027 and could keep inflation high after gasoline gets cheaper.
