Gold collapsed from resistance at 1811/15 targeting 1802/00, 1786/83, 1763/60, 1755/53 & 1745. We fell as far as 1732. Further losses are expected targeting 1720, 1700 & 1690/85.

Again gains are likely to be limited in the bear trend with minor resistance at yesterday's high of 1748/50 & strong resistance at 1765/70. Shorts need stops above 1775.

Silver broke key support at 2050/45 for an important sell signal with steep losses as predicted to 2000, 1950/45, 1900 & almost as far as 1880/60 as we become oversold. This is key support for today. A weekly close below 1850 is the next sell signal.

Holding key support at 1880/60 (try longs if you feel brave in the bear trend) targets 1935/40, perhaps as far as 1960/65 for profit taking.

EURCAD broke support at 1.3395/85 for a sell signal & bounced to 1.3390 on Wednesday giving us a perfect chance to enter shorts (if you had not already) before we reached 1.3175 yesterday.

An easy 200 pip profit so far, but outlook remains negative.

EURUSD crashed through the triple bottom for a sell signal this week & fell another 200 pips to my targets of 1.0200 & 1.0170/60, perhaps as far as 1.0120/10 today. On further losses look for 1.070/60 & 1.0030/20.

Gains are likely to be limited with minor resistance at 1.0240/60 & strong resistance at 1.0330/50.

USDCAD first support at 1.2960/50. Longs need stops below 1.2920. A break lower is a sell signal targeting 1.2880/60 then 1.2830/20.

1 year trend line resistance at the June high of 1.3060/80. Shorts need stops above 1.3100. A break higher is an important buy signal. A 200 pip plus move could follow.

EUR/USD weakens to near 1.1900 as traders eye US data

EUR/USD eases to near 1.1900 in Tuesday's European trading hours, snapping the two-day winning streak. Markets turn cautious, lifting the haven demand for the US Dollar ahead of the release of key US economic data, including Retail Sales and ADP Employment Change 4-week average.

GBP/USD stays in the red below 1.3700 on renewed USD demand

GBP/USD trades on a weaker note below 1.3700 in the European session on Tuesday. The pair faces challenges due to renewed US Dollar demand, UK political risks and rising expectations of a March Bank of England rate cut. The immediate focus is now on the US Retail Sales data.

Gold sticks to modest losses above $5,000 ahead of US data

Gold sticks to modest intraday losses through the first half of the European session, though it holds comfortably above the $5,000 psychological mark and the daily swing low. The outcome of Japan's snap election on Sunday removes political uncertainty, which along with signs of easing tensions in the Middle East, remains supportive of the upbeat market mood. This turns out to be a key factor exerting downward pressure on the safe-haven precious metal.

Follow the money, what USD/JPY in Tokyo is really telling you

Over the past two Tokyo sessions, this has not been a rate story. Not even close. Interest rate differentials have been spectators, not drivers. What has moved USD/JPY in local hours has been flow and flow alone.
