Brian Twomey Brian's Investment

From last week, DXY becomes overbought in the middle 105.00’s and oversold at 103.90’s. DXY traded 104.12 lows and traveled to 105.88 highs into massively overbought territory. DXY remains severely overbought with limited upside potential and every ability to trade 103.00's.

USD/JPY's big line break this week at 135.45 traded to 135.35 then 137.90 highs. USD/JPY was deeply overbought at 137.00's but allowed to travel a few pips higher due to DXY overbought to overbought status. A gamble trade to 137.00's is the same as saying overbought USD/CAD must travel to more overbought at 1.3800's to accommodate USD/JPY at 137.00's. The easier and more profitable trade was long USD/JPY from vital 135.45 to just under 137.00's then short at the highs.

USD/JPY began this week: 136.06, 136.59, 137.64. USD/JPY begins next week: 136.19, 136.69, 137.68. USD/JPY's averages changed but USD/JPY's position remains constant to no change status. Big break for lower is now 135.69.

EUR/USD ia trading around vital 1.0559 Vs next level below at 1.0519. Limited upside exists to DXY as limited downside exist to EUR.

EUR/USD next week will trade 2 X's DXY.

GBP/USD is not only oversold from vital 1.1992 but also from 1.2500's. GBP/USD could travel to low 1.2100's next week and EUR/USD to 1.0700's.

From last week: GBP/JPY shorts at low 164.00’s targets low 163.00’s until the break at 162.68. GBP/JPY traded to 163.84 to lows 163.00 then the break materialized at 162.68 and traded to 161.60 lows. Higher for GBP/JPY must clear 162.62.

GBP/JPY is inching closer to the 159.21 target. This means all JPY cross pairs trade much lower for about another 300 pips as GBP/JPY will take all JPY cross pairs lower.

Deeply oversold AUD/USD has every potentil to trade middle 0.6700's next week and NZD/USD to high 0.6181 and 0.6199.

AUDUSD Actual 52 pips Vs 34.

AUDEUR 29 pips Vs 32.

AUDGBP 29 Vs 28.

AUDJPY 66 Vs 46.

AUDCAD 60 Vs 46.

AUDNZD 44 Vs 54.

Overall currency markets are slowly moving to the next level of slowdown of prices in a brand new regiment of price movements. Slow the currency price means a severe adjustment to slower stock index prices and every market instrument on the planet.

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. The pair’s slight gains comes against the backdrop of a humble decline in the US Dollar as investors continue to assess the latest US CPI readings and the potential Fed’s rate path.

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. Cable’s improved sentiment comes on the back of the Greenback’s irresolute price action, while recent hawkish comments from the BoE’s Pill also collaborate with the uptick.

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

Bitcoin's upside remains largely constrained amid weak technicals and declining institutional interest. Ethereum trades sideways above $1,900 support with the upside capped below $2,000 amid ETF outflows.

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.
