Market update: Euro reversal signal

FXE daily

Chart

FXE (euro ETF) completed a 2 day volume reversal today.  This means that the prior day was a high volume down day and today was a high volume up day.  Previous instances are highlighted.  Most signals have been reliable.  Near term, the important test remains the upper parallel from the short term fork, now near 1.1040.  If EURUSD is going to recover then I’d think that 1.0885 provides support.

3/7 – EURUSD has cut through everything that I thought would provide support and price has now reached the line off of the 2017 and 2020 lows.  If this doesn’t hold then I guess there is nothing until the March 2020 low at 1.0636.  Near term (see below), price has responded to the lower parallel of the fork from the 2/10 high.  The important test on the upside (if price bounces of course) is about 1.1060.  Finally, daily RSI is below 23.  Previous instances over the last 5 years are shown 2 charts down.

AUD/USD daily

AUDUSD

AUDUSD followed through on Monday’s reversal but price is fast approaching the well-defined .7220s.  There isn’t much change to yesterday’s comments other than noting that .7350 is now proposed resistance.

3/7 – AUDUSD reached .7420s (trendline from 2021 highs) and reversed sharply lower today.  The action probably caps Aussie for a while.  .7280s is a possible bounce level although bigger support isn’t until the channel centerline (blue line…which was former resistance) near .7220. Proposed resistance is now .7375.

NZD/USD 4 hour

NZDUSD

.6850 held as resistance in NZDUSD.  This level remains resistance.  I favor selling into that level and targeting trendline support near .6700.  In the interim, price could bounce near .6770.

3/7 – Kiwi reversed from the line that connects the December 2019 and September 2020 highs.  This line was support in August/September 2021 and resistance in January.  It’s clearly important.  The 200 day average is also just above today’s high.  Focus is lower towards the trendline from the low near .6700.  Proposed resistance is .6850/70.

EUR/CAD daily

EURCAD

EURCAD has reversed sharply higher after slipping under the 2017 low.  Despite the recent plunge, weekly RSI remains above 30 and sports divergence with the price lows.  This is constructive.  Price tagged the January low today so a pullback may be in order.  Watch for support near 1.3950 (see hourly chart below).  Upside focus is the uncovered close from 2/25 at 1.4314.

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.
