Emini S&P September futures

Emini S&P can target 6488/90 (hit) & 6516/20.
A break above 6525 can target 6550/6555.
First support at 6465/6460 & longs need stops below 6455 (we traded down to 6453.50 but if you held on the worked perfectly).
Very strong support at 6445/6435 & longs need stops below 6425.

Nasdaq September futures

Emini Nasdaq break above 23800/23845 targets 23960/990 (hit) then 24150/200 (almost there!).
Above 24240 look for 24400.
We made a low for the day 3 ticks above an excellent buying opportunity at 23790/740 & longs need stops below 23650.
Just be aware that a weekly close below 23500 starts next week with a more negative bias & risks a slide to 23300/260.

Emini Dow Jones September futures

Emini Dow Jones we wrote: move above 44750 this week triggers a retest of 44900/950 as predicted & even the all time high at 44230/45312 is possible.
Targets hit!
However bulls need a break above the longer term trend line at 45400/45450 for a new buy signal next week.
Failure to beat 45400/45450 risks a slide to 45070 & 44800/750.

EUR/USD looks weak below 1.1800

EUR/USD has slipped back under pressure, breaking through the 1.1800 support and drifting towards the weekly lows near 1.1770 ahead of the opening bell in Asia. The move reflects renewed strength in the US Dollar, with steady geopolitical tensions keeping its demand firm. Moving forward, the release of the German labour market report and flash inflation figures should keep European investors entertained on Friday.

GBP/USD threatens the 200-day SMA near 1.3440

GBP/USD rapidly leaves behind Wednesday’s strong advance, coming under heavy pressure and retesting the 1.3440 zone, where the critical 200-day SMA is located. Cable’s deep pullback follows the strong gains in the Greenback, while investors continue to pencil in a potential BoE rate cut in March.

Gold trims gains, slips back to around $5,170

Gold is now facing some downside pressure, hovering around the $5,170 region on Thursday. The yellow metal surrenders part of its earlier gains on the back of the resurgence of the buying interest in the Greenback. In the meantime, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East continue to limit the downside potential for now.
