Chart Analysis

On the daily timeframe, ORANGE: D1 formed a Triangle and is moving towards the upper border of a wide neutral range. A number of technical analysis indicators formed signals for further growth. We do not rule out a bullish move if ORANGE rises above the Triangle resistance line, 200-day moving average and upper Bollinger band: 117.5. This level can be used as an entry point. We can place a stop loss below the Parabolic signal and the lower border of the neutral range: 107.5. After opening a pending order, we can move the stop loss to the next fractal low following the Bollinger and Parabolic signals. Thus, we change the potential profit/loss ratio in our favor. After the transaction, the most risk-averse traders can switch to the four-hour chart and place a stop loss, moving it in the direction of the bias. If the price meets the stop loss (107.5) without activating the order (117.5), it is recommended to delete the order: the market sustains internal changes that have not been taken into account.

Fundamental Analysis

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) lowered its forecast for the US orange crop. Will the ORANGE quotes grow? The USDA now expects the US orange harvest to amount to 4.45 million tons in the 2020/2021 agricultural season. This is 4% less than the previous estimate and 15% less than in the 2019/2020 season. At the same time, the orange crop in Florida may decrease by 23%, in California - by 4%, and in Texas - by 22%. Recall that in the previous 2019/2020 season, the orange harvest decreased by almost 4% compared to the 2018/2019 season. Thus, the negative dynamics may last for 2 seasons in a row. US stocks of frozen orange juice concentrate in February this year were 16% lower than in February 2020.

EUR/USD regains 1.1400 amid renewed US Dollar weakness

EUR/USD is attempting a tepid bounce above 1.1400 in European trading on Monday, helped by a broadly weaker US Dollar.

Gold stays in red near $4,050 as US-Iran clash revives inflation fears

Gold price remains in the negative territory around $4,050 in Monday's European trading.

How Kevin Warsh upended the game plan for Gold

Something is breaking inside the Federal Reserve's new strategy, signaling a massive regime change for macro markets. Under the leadership of newly appointed Fed Chair Kevin Warsh, the traditional framework of forward guidance and predictable rate paths could be dismantled soon.

Regime change: Inside Kevin Warsh's first move to make the Fed unreadable on purpose

The rate did not move. That was the least interesting thing about Kevin Warsh's first meeting in charge of the Fed. The FOMC held its benchmark at 3.50%-3.75% for the fourth straight meeting, exactly as priced, and then the new chair used his first press conference to dismantle the machinery the market has leaned on for a decade.
