Daily Forecast - 27 March 2017

USDJPY Spot

USDJPY severely oversold on the daily chart but we continue lower which is not a surprise as stated on Friday, to the next target of 110.50/40. However we do not hit support until we reach the 200 week moving average at 110.10/00. Exit shorts, but trying longs will be risky...might be better to wait for a bullish signal first.

Above last week's low at 110.60 may allow recovery in oversold conditions towards 111.05/10, perhaps as far as resistance at 111.35/40. A good chance of a high for the day. However on further gains look for a selling opportunity at 111.70/80.

EURUSD Spot

EURUSD now trying a break above resistance at 1.0820/30...shorts need stops above 1.0855. As I write we have only reached 1.0849, so the break is not convincing but if we do hold above 1.0840 the outlook turns positive initially targeting 200 day moving average resistance at 1.0880/90. This is now the main challenge for bulls today in overbought conditions. If you try shorts use stops above 1.0920.

Failure to hold above 1.0820 signals a false breakout this morning & risks a slide to minor support at 1.0770/60. On further losses look for better support at 1.0720/10 for some profit taking on any shorts.

AUDUSD Spot

AUDUSD holding the best support for today at 7610/00 as expected, targets 7635/39 then resistance at 7656/60. Watch for a high for the day. Above here is more positive targeting only minor resistance at 7692/96 then 7715/20.

The best support for today again at 7610/00 to try longs with stops below 7585. A break below 7585 is a sell signal & targets a good buying opportunity at 7525/15. Try longs with stops below the March low of 7488.

GBPUSD spot

GBPUSD hits the next target of 1.2525/30 as expected & despite overbought conditions we could reach 1.2575/80. On further gains this week look for 1.2610/15 then the 1.2672/1.2707 January/February highs.

Failure to beat re-targets 1.2525/30 support in the 1.2476/60 area & in fact we bottomed exactly here on Friday. However the most important support of the day is 1.2415/05.

EUR/USD keeps the rangebound trade near 1.1850

EUR/USD is still under pressure, drifting back towards the 1.1850 area as Monday’s session draws to a close. The modest decline in spot comes as the US Dollar picks up a bit of support, while thin liquidity and muted volatility, thanks to the US market holiday, are exaggerating price swings and keeping trading conditions choppy.

GBP/USD flirts with daily lows near 1.3630

GBP/USD has quickly given back Friday’s solid gains, turning lower at the start of the week and drifting back towards the 1.3630 area. The focus now shifts squarely to Tuesday’s UK labour market report, which is likely to keep the quid firmly in the spotlight and could set the tone for Cable’s next move.

Gold sticks to a negative bias below $5,000; lacks bearish conviction

Gold remains depressed for the second consecutive day and trades below the $5,000 psychological mark during the Asian session on Tuesday, as a positive risk tone is seen undermining safe-haven assets. Meanwhile, bets for more interest rate cuts by the Fed keep a lid on the recent US Dollar bounce and act as a tailwind for the non-yielding bullion, warranting caution for bearish traders ahead of FOMC minutes on Wednesday.

AI Crypto Update: Bittensor eyes breakout as AI tokens falter

The artificial intelligence (AI) cryptocurrency segment is witnessing heightened volatility, with top tokens such as Near Protocol (NEAR) struggling to gain traction amid the persistent decline in January and February.

US CPI is cooling but what about inflation?

The January CPI data give the impression that the Federal Reserve is finally winning the war against inflation. Not only was the data cooler than expected, but it’s also beginning to edge close to the mystical 2 percent target. CBS News called it “the best inflation news we've had in months.”

XRP steadies in narrow range as fund inflows, futures interest rise
