Forex trading long on Silver, technicals signal a weaker Yen [Video]

The 4-hour chart on Silver shows us price action falling to the lower trend line in this bull run.

The stochastic oscillator is showing bearish confluence so we may have to be patient if we want to go long on XAGUSD.

If we move out to the 1-hour chart we see what might be a falling wedge which is often a bullish indication.

Gold has pulled back from its highs but we may not have a clear indication until we hear more news out of the Middle East.

Gold and Silver are both paired with USD and we have lots of economic news out of the US this week.

This includes a speech from Jerome Powell, 2 PMIs, and the monthly US Non-Farm Payrolls, so watch for opportunities.

Both WTI and Brent Crude are showing the same overbought signal on the 4-hour charts, but the opposite on the daily charts.

So, a short trade on WTI might seem like the way to go but let’s wait for confirmation.

We looked at JPY pairs last time and we were waiting for a reversal.

All the pairs are showing an oversold stochastic oscillator looking to turn up but we are not convinced yet.

Also, we see the S&P 500 trying to break support on this descending triangle but watch the US economic news here as well.

That’s all for now.

CFDs and FX are leveraged products and your capital may be at risk.

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.

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.

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

US GDP and PCE inflation are main highlights, plus the Fed minutes. UK and Japan have busy calendars too with focus on CPI. Flash PMIs for February will also be doing the rounds. RBNZ meets, is unlikely to follow RBA’s hawkish path.

Ripple Price Forecast: XRP potential bottom could be in sight

Ripple edges up above the intraday low of $1.35 at the time of writing on Friday amid mixed price actions across the crypto market. The remittance token failed to hold support at $1.40 the previous day, reflecting risk-off sentiment amid a decline in retail and institutional sentiment.
