Daily Forecast - 28 July 2016

AUDUSD Spot

AUDUSD recovered quickly from the 7417 low & will need to hold above first support at 7478/73 to test resistance at 7505/15. This is the main challenge for bulls today but shorts need stops above 7535. A break higher is a buy signal & targets minor resistance at 7570/75. Further gains target 7595 then trend line resistance at 7640/45.

Failure to hold above first support at 7478/73 targets minor support at 7455/50 then 7420/16 & perhaps as far as minor support at 7405/7395. A break lower targets 7375/70 & perhaps as far as strong support at 7330/20 which should be a good buying opportunity.

USDJPY Spot

USDJPY holding below first resistance at 105.50/60 targets 104.80 & minor support at 104.65/60 before the best support of the day at 104.30/20. Try longs with stops below 103.90. However a break below 104.00 is a sell signal & targets 103.60 then only minor support at 103.30/20.

First resistance at 105.50/60 but shorts need stops above 106.00. A break higher targets 106.15 then 106.48/53. We have strong resistance from here up to 106.60/70 as you may remember & this is still relevant. Shorts need stops above 107.00. We need a close (preferably a weekly close tomorrow) above 107.00 to confirm further recovery in August.

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.
