The pair is exhibiting its best monthly performance since February, and this week’s bounce off 1.3370 helped the pair to stay in the green […]

EURUSD advanced above a tough short-term resistance trendline in the four-hour chart and as high as 1.1064 after the US CPI figures showed a slightly weaker inflation than analysts expected. The bounce in the price made a bullish inverse head and shoulders (H&S) pattern more clear in the chart, and the fact that the bullish structure is […]
Silver is edging higher as the market is digesting today’s data releases and the bulls are trying to make a stand, following the aggressive sell-off from the July 20 high of 25.25. With the 200-day simple moving average (SMA) broken, the bulls have pinned their hopes in defending the busy 22.24-22.50 area and preventing the […]

Should the bulls run […]
EURGBP is edging higher today, battling with the 0.8635 level again. The aggressive sell-off from the February 2023 highs has probably halted as this pair has been hovering inside the 0.8504-0.8700 range for the past three months. The recent price action is giving rise to a plethora of patterns with the most prominent being a head-and-shoulders structure […]

The month of July tends to bring confusing memories for ECB followers due to the respective 2008 and 2011 meetings.

Are there any similarities with the current ECB situation? What was the […]

AUDUSD fell by 1.0% to a new two-month low of 0.6498 due to China’s disappointing trade figures, becoming the worst performer among major pairs today. The 0.6500 level is being re-examined and there is hope that the pair could pivot at this point as it did last week. Nonetheless, the falling RSI and stochastic oscillators on […]
AUDUSD has fallen sharply in recent weeks, after posting a double top near the 0.6900 region. The neckline of the double top pattern at 0.6600 was soon violated and then acted as resistance for the price action, painting a negative outlook for the pair and signaling the resumption of the longer-term downtrend that started in […]
Even after the US employment report revealed higher-than-expected wage growth for July, investors continued to believe that the Fed has already concluded its own tightening crusade.

EURJPY is edging higher as it appears ready to retest the 16-year high of 157.99.
