EURUSD Daily Analysis

1_EURUSD_H4_2508  

EURUSD (1.1270): EURUSD closed bearish yesterday with the breakout from the inside bar’s low of 1.1284 confirming the downside. Support at 1.1200 is now in sight. Any pullbacks could be limited to the inside bar’s low of 1.1284 through 1.1300. On the 4-hour chart, we can see the Stochastics currently in the oversold area following the downside breakout below 1.1300 which confirms the view that EURUSD could see a short-term/intraday bounce to the upside. Support is seen at 1.12400 on the smaller time frame while 1.1200 remains the main support of interest.

USDJPY Daily Analysis

USDJPY (100.47): USDJPY continues to remain muted with price seen trading strongly inside the range of 101.16 – 100.038, set on 17 August. We maintain the view that 100.50 – 101.00 needs to be cleared in order for USDJPY to see any hopes of a test to 102.00 – 103.00 region. To the downside, support at 100.00 seems to hold prices for now.

GBPUSD Daily Analysis

GBPUSD (1.3225): GBPUSD extended the gains to 1.3200 but the daily chart shows a potential hidden bearish divergence near this level. This could mean that GBPUSD could post a minor correction back to 1.3000 to establish support provided GBPUSD can break down below 1.3200 – 1.31700 level which is now likely to hold prices. On the 4-hour chart there are no clear indications just as yet, but watch for a possible bearish divergence on the Stochastics to confirm this view.

Gold Daily Analysis

4_XAUUSD_H4_2508

XAUUSD (1326.00): Gold prices closed at 1324.16 yesterday with price currently at the minor support of 1327.50. In the near term, we can expect gold prices to post a modest bounce to the upside, back to the 1332 – 1335 region. However, the bias remains to the downside for a test to 1300. The bearish view changes only if gold prices manage to post a bullish close above 1332 – 1335, in which case a retest back to 1350 cannot be ruled out.
