EURUSD: Prefer to sell rallies

Jim Langlands FX Charts

EURUSD: 1.1146

EurUsd has been under pressure as the dollar continues its recovery following the FOMC decision, assisted by today’s firm US data, with the pair finishing the session just above the Thursday lows of 1.1131.

With the 4 hour/daily momentum indicators looking heavy further losses look likely, which could see a decline to 1.1100/10 and possibly to 1.1075 and 1.1015.

On the topside, minor resistance will be seen at 1.1165 and 1.1200 although I don’t think we are heading back up here today. If wrong, look for a move back to the Thursday high of 1.1228.

While the dailies point lower, selling rallies towards 1.1200, with a SL placed above 1.1230 seems to be the plan.

The EU May inflation figure and the US May housing starts and the Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index are data risks for Friday.

Is Gold about to enter its biggest bull run since 2020?

Gold has stormed back into the spotlight and its next move could leave late buyers chasing. On August 5, the yellow metal surged almost 7% – roughly $174 – to close near $4,308 an ounce, posting one of its biggest daily advances in recent history. A weaker U.S dollar, falling Treasury yields, changing Federal Reserve expectations and renewed safe-haven demand all struck at once.

The rate did not move. Neither did the statement, and that’s the more interesting fact. Set the July 29 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement beside the one issued on June 17, and the two documents are identical apart from a single verb and a paragraph at the bottom naming three dissenters.
