Trading 'buy the dip' on S&P 500, EUR/USD and EUR/GBP continuing downtrend? [Video]

Yesterday we pointed out USD strength from Friday but price action on USD pairs has either reversed or consolidated ahead of today’s US CPI figures.

We see a clear downtrend on EURUSD and the Stochastic Oscillator is showing us an Overbought signal.

Price action has reached a key level of resistance at the 38.2% Fibonacci level so we may see a reversal here but, again, be aware of today’s CPI announcement.

Last week we were looking at a possible reversal on AUD and it seems to have happened.

AUDUSD broke this Double Top and a clear downtrend has started.

However, price action needs to break this key level of support which is also the 38.2% Fibonacci level.

We see that the ADX on EURGBP was showing us very little throughout August but has now indicated a downtrend.

However, before continuing down, we would wait for the Stochastic Oscillator to turn from Overbought.

Also, if we look at the Daily chart, we can see that price action needs to break this key level of support before falling to the next levels.

Looking at the US Indices, we see another classic “Buy the Dip” scenario, which has worked so well for us all year.

The Stochastic Oscillator is confirming and reversing from its Oversold status on the Daily chart.

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.
