USD strength returns post-interest rates, forex trading on Gold falling to support [Video]

After the Republican win in the US elections last week, we saw USD strength.

That was followed by weakness after the lowering of Interest Rates.

What next?

Well, after the lowering of Interest Rates, USD continued stronger.

We can see price action on the EURUSD chart as EUR is the weakest currency.

Price action reversed after the Interest rate decision with this hanging man candlestick pattern and a turn of the stochastic oscillator from overbought.

We have to move to the weekly chart to see that we are at a level of support from April and an oversold stochastic oscillator.

We had even more dramatic movements with AUDUSD but we are close to recent support.

The weekly chart on AUDUSD tells a bearish story as well with price action at the lower trend line and at least one technical signal.

We see a similar story on GBPUSD and I encourage you to check all the USD pairs.

Gold as well, had similar price action.

While we are looking at weekly charts, WTI is close to the magical level of support of $66.

Apparently, this bearish move was caused by a selloff based on negative sentiment of Donald Trump’s foreign policies.

That’s all for now.

EUR/USD meets initial support around 1.1800

EUR/USD remains on the back foot, although it has managed to reverse the initial strong pullback toward the 1.1800 region and regain some balance, hovering around the 1.1850 zone as the NA session draws to a close on Tuesday. Moving forward, market participants will now shift their attention to the release of the FOMC Minutes and US hard data on Wednesday.

GBP/USD bounces off lows, retargets 1.3550

After bottoming out just below the 1.3500 yardstick, GBP/USD now gathers some fresh bids and advances to the 1.3530-1.3540 band in the latter part of Tuesday’s session. Cable’s recovery comes as the Greenback surrenders part of its advance, although it keeps the bullish bias well in place for the day.

Gold bounces back toward $4,900, looks to FOMC Minutes

Gold is attempting a bounce from the $4,850 level, having touched a one-week low on Tuesday. Signs of progress in US–Iran talks dented demand for the traditional safe-haven bullion, weighing on Gold in early trades. However, rising bets for more Fed rate cuts keep the US Dollar bulls on the defensive and act as a tailwind for the non-yielding yellow metal. Traders now seem reluctant ahead of the FOMC Minutes, which would offer cues about the Fed's rate-cut path and provide some meaningful impetus.
