Japanese Candlesticks Analysis 24.06.2022 (USDCAD, AUDUSD, USDCHF)

Article By RoboForex.com

USDCAD, “US Dollar vs Canadian Dollar”

As we can see in the H4 chart, after forming a Harami reversal pattern close to the support level, USDCAD may reverse in the form of another ascending impulse. In this case, the upside target may be the resistance area at 1.3095. Later, the market may break this level and continue growing. However, an alternative scenario implies that the asset may correct to reach 1.2920 first and then resume trading upwards.

AUDUSD, “Australian Dollar vs US Dollar”

As we can see in the H4 chart, AUDUSD has formed a Hammer reversal pattern near the support level. At the moment, the asset is reversing and forming a new rising impulse. In this case, the upside target may be the resistance level at 0.6970. After testing the level, the price may rebound from it and resume the descending tendency. At the same time, the opposite scenario implies that the price may fall to reach 0.6815 and continue the downtrend without any corrections.

USDCHF, “US Dollar vs Swiss Franc”

As we can see in the H4 chart, after testing the support area, the pair has formed several reversal patterns, for example, Hammer. At the moment, USDCHF may reverse in the form of a new ascending impulse. In this case, the upside target may be at 0.9735. After testing the resistance level, the price may break it and continue trading upwards. Still, there might be an alternative scenario, according to which the asset may fall to reach 0.9540 and continue the ascending tendency only after the correction.

Week Ahead: Euro to climb on more aggressive ECB rate hike bets?

By ForexTime 

Last week, we cited the possibility of the US dollar falling as recession fears mount.

At the time of writing, the benchmark dollar index (DXY) is set for a weekly decline, ending a run of three consecutive weekly gains. The softer greenback has in turn allowed EURUSD to resurface back above 1.05.

The bloc’s currency will be in focus going into the second half of 2022, amid these scheduled data releases and events in the coming week:

Monday, June 27

  • CNH: China May industrial profits
  • US crude: EIA weekly US crude inventories (delayed from last Thursday)

Tuesday, June 28

  • GBP: BOE Deputy Governor Jonathan Cunliffe speech
  • USD: San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly speech; US June consumer confidence

Wednesday, June 29

  • JPY: Japan May retail sales, June consumer confidence
  • AUD: Australia May retail sales
  • ECB panel featuring ECB President Christine Lagarde, Fed Chair Jerome Powell, and BOE Governor Andrew Bailey
  • EUR: Eurozone economic confidence; Germany June inflation
  • USD: US 1Q GDP (third print); speeches by Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester and St. Louis Fed President James Bullard
  • US crude: EIA weekly US crude inventories

Thursday, June 30

  • JPY: Japan May industrial production
  • NZD: New Zealand June business confidence
  • CNH: China June PMIs
  • GBP: UK 1Q GDP (final print)
  • EUR: Eurozone May unemployment
  • Brent: OPEC+ meeting
  • USD: US weekly initial jobless claims, May personal income/spending, May PCE deflator

Friday, July 1

  • NZD: New Zealand June consumer confidence
  • AUD: Australia June manufacturing PMI
  • JPY: Japan June Tokyo CPI, May jobless rate
  • CNH: China June Caixin manufacturing PMI
  • EUR: Eurozone June CPI and manufacturing PMI
  • USD: US June ISM manufacturing, June S&P Global manufacturing PMI

The Eurozone’s incoming unemployment and inflation data are set to be interpreted within the context of the European Central Bank’s plans to raise interest rates.

As things stand, the ECB has already well-telegraphed to the markets its intentions for a 25-basis point rate hike in July. The ECB could then trigger a larger 50bps hike at its following meeting in September.

Those two hikes alone should bring the curtains down on the ECB’s negative interest rates regime, with markets expecting 200 basis points in hikes between now and March 2023.

However, the ECB may be forced to front-load its rate hikes, just like the Fed is doing, if the Eurozone’s inflation print comes in much hotter than expected.

The median estimate for the June CPI print is 8.3%, which would be a fresh record high for the Eurozone, and also higher than May’s 8.1% year-on-year print.

And if its unemployment rate continues to show resilience, with markets expecting the May print to be 10 basis points lower than April’s 6.8% print, that could even pave the way for ECB officials to become even more aggressive in its battle against record-high inflation!

EURUSD eyes 50-day SMA resistance and 1.035 support

If this narrative holds and markets ramp up their bets for a more aggressive ECB, that could help EURUSD retest its 50-day moving average as the immediate resistance level, currently hovering around the 1.06 mark.

Otherwise, a lower EURUSD could bring the 1.035 support region back into focus, having offered the world’s most popular currency pair two chances to rebound since May.

 

Overall, EURUSD is expected to continue being guided lower by its 50-day SMA, as has been the case over the past 12 months.

The euro’s upside remains capped by two major themes:

  • Recession risks are still clouding the Eurozone’s economic outlook, noting that the Russia-Ukraine war is still raging off the bloc’s eastern borders.
  • Fragmentation risks also weigh heavily on the euro, and the ECB’s new anti-crisis policy tool must be able to convince the markets of its effectiveness. Otherwise, the yields disparity could run out of control and trigger unruly declines in EURUSD.

 

Of course, the US dollar will have a major say on EURUSD’s performance. If the prospects of a US recession loom larger, that could translate into more moderation for the buck and more relief for the euro.

And with ECB President Christine Lagarde potentially offering more policy signals side-by-side with Fed Chair Jerome Powell mid-week, that could offer fresh catalysts for the EURUSD as we head into July.

Still, the ECB has to deliver on the market’s hawkish rate hike bets while keeping the region’s fragmentation risks at bay, in order to sustain hopes of a recovery for the euro.

The Analytical Overview of the Main Currency Pairs on 2022.06.24

By JustForex

The EUR/USD currency pair

Technical indicators of the currency pair:
  • Prev Open: 1.0564
  • Prev Close: 1.0520
  • % chg. over the last day: -0.42%

German and French PMI data showed that the Eurozone economy is starting to show signs of a slowdown. In Germany, the manufacturing PMI decreased from 54.8 to 52 while the services PMI dropped from 55 to 52.4. In France, the manufacturing PMI decreased from 58.3 to 54.4, and the services PMI declined from 54.6 to 51. Typically, a PMI falling below 50 is a sign of recession in which the central bank raises interest rates. At that time, Fed spokesman Kazimir said yesterday that some Eurozone countries might face a short-term recession.

Trading recommendations
  • Support levels: 1.0408, 1.0379
  • Resistance levels: 1.0555, 1.0611, 1.0680, 1.0723

From the technical point of view, the trend on the EUR/USD currency pair on the hourly time frame is bearish. The price forms a wide corridor, and the MACD indicator has become inactive. Under such market conditions, sell deals can be considered from the resistance level of 1.0555 or the upper border of the flat, but only after the additional confirmation. A price move above 1.0611 will change the priority. Buy trades are best to look for on intraday time frames from the support level of 1.0408 or the lower border of the flat, but only with confirmation and short targets.

Alternative scenario: if the price breaks out through the 1.0611 resistance level and fixes above, the uptrend will likely resume.

The GBP/USD currency pair

Technical indicators of the currency pair:
  • Prev Open: 1.2263
  • Prev Close: 1.2260
  • % chg. over the last day: -0.02%

The UK Manufacturing PMI declined last month from 54.6 to 53.4, while the service sector remained at 53.4. Despite all the media talk about the dire state of the UK economy, the PMI shows that business activity in the UK is higher than in the Eurozone.

Trading recommendations
  • Support levels: 1.2238, 1.2093, 1.1974
  • Resistance levels: 1.2422, 1.2470, 1.2523, 1.2629

From the technical point of view, the trend on the GBP/USD currency pair on the hourly time frame is bearish. The situation is very similar to the euro. The price forms a wide corridor, while the MACD indicator shows no activity. Under such market conditions, sell deals can be considered from the resistance level of 1.2422 or the upper border of the flat, but only after the additional confirmation. Buy trades are best to look for on intraday time frames from the support level of 1.2238 or the lower border of the flat, but only with confirmation and short targets.

Alternative scenario: if the price breaks out through the 1.2422 resistance level and fixes above, the uptrend will likely resume.

The USD/JPY currency pair

Technical indicators of the currency pair:
  • Prev Open: 136.21
  • Prev Close: 134.96
  • % chg. over the last day: -0.93%

The nationwide core Consumer Price Index was 2.1% for the second month in a row and again exceeded the Bank of Japan’s target level. This data challenges the Bank of Japan’s view that the recent price increase is temporary and does not require a withdrawal of monetary stimulus. Such sentiment provided a brief boost to the Japanese yen. But with wage growth slowing, many analysts expect the Bank of Japan to remain on a soft monetary policy rather than fighting inflation by raising interest rates.

Trading recommendations
  • Support levels: 134.10, 133.35, 131.67, 131.00, 130.12, 129.48, 128.76
  • Resistance levels: 135.23, 135.77, 136.66

The medium-term trend on the USD/JPY currency pair is bullish, but the price corrected today to the moving average lines and canceled the final balance. This is a sign of buyers’ weakness. The MACD indicator is in the negative zone. Under such market conditions, buy trades can be considered from the support level of 134.10 or 133.35, but with confirmation. A resistance level of 135.23 is good for sell deals, but only with additional confirmation and short targets.

Alternative scenario: If the price fixes below 133.35, the downtrend will likely resume.

The USD/CAD currency pair

Technical indicators of the currency pair:
  • Prev Open: 1.2945
  • Prev Close: 1.2995
  • % chg. over the last day: +0.39%

The Canadian dollar is a commodity currency, so it depends not only on the USD index dynamics but also on the oil quotes. The dollar index yesterday strengthened after the speech of Jerome Powell in front of Congress, while oil quotes went down. As a result, the Canadian dollar lost some ground. But worth noting that the Bank of Canada is on its way to raising interest rates, and the latest inflation data in Canada showed that inflation is not stopping. Therefore, on expectations of an aggressive rate hike at the next meeting, the Canadian dollar may get a boost soon.

Trading recommendations
  • Support levels: 1.2966, 1.2893, 1.2815, 1.2709, 1.2618, 1.2578, 1.2510
  • Resistance levels: 1.3068

In terms of technical analysis, the trend on the USD/CAD currency pair is bullish. The MACD indicator has become positive, and the buyers are showing their strength again. Under such market conditions, it is better to look for buy deals in the lower time frames from the support level of 1.2966. For sell deals, it is better to consider the resistance level of 1.3068, but it is also better with confirmation and short targets.

Alternative scenario: if the price breaks through and consolidates below the 1.2815 support level, the downtrend will likely resume.

Article By RoboForex.com

USDCHF, “US Dollar vs Swiss Franc”

As we can see in the H4 chart, USDCHF is trading inside the “oversold area”. In this case, the pair is expected to test -1/8, break it, and then continue growing to reach the resistance at 0/8. However, this scenario may be cancelled if the price breaks the support at -2/8 to the downside. After that, the lines in the chart will be redrawn, thus helping us to define new downside targets.

In the M15 chart, the pair may break the upside line of the VoltyChannel indicator and, as a result, continue its growth.

XAUUSD, “Gold vs US Dollar”

In this case, the price is expected to break the support at 1/8 and continue moving downwards to reach 0/8. However, this scenario may no longer be valid if the price breaks the resistance at 2/8 to the upside. After that, the instrument may reverse and grow towards 3/8.

The Analytical Overview of the Main Currency Pairs on 2022.06.23

By JustForex

The EUR/USD currency pair

Technical indicators of the currency pair:
  • Prev Open: 1.0531
  • Prev Close: 1.0568
  • % chg. over the last day: +0.35%

On Wednesday, the dollar fell as US Treasury yields drop amid fears the US economy could slide into recession. It happened after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said raising interest rates could lead to an economic slowdown. Investors fear that aggressive interest rate hikes by major central banks to curb inflation could lead to a global slowdown or recession. Higher rates have strengthened the dollar, but the euro has been rising recently thanks to plans by the European Central Bank to raise rates to curb inflation as well.

Trading recommendations
  • Support levels: 1.0531, 1.0408, 1.0379
  • Resistance levels: 1.0611, 1.0680, 1.0723

From the technical point of view, the trend on the EUR/USD currency pair on the hourly time frame is bearish. But the pressure of buyers is increasing, the MACD indicator has become positive, and the price is close to changing the trend. Under such market conditions, sell deals can be considered from the resistance level of 1.0611, but only after the additional confirmation. A price move above 1.0611 will change the priority. Buy trades are best to look for on intraday time frames from the support level of 1.0531, but only with confirmation and short targets.

Alternative scenario: if the price breaks out through the 1.0611 resistance level and fixes above, the uptrend will likely resume.

The GBP/USD currency pair

Technical indicators of the currency pair:
  • Prev Open: 1.2263
  • Prev Close: 1.2262
  • % chg. over the last day: -0.01%

The UK Consumer Price Index was 9.1% in annual terms (forecast 9.1%, previous 9.0%). Monthly inflation rose by 0.7%. The last time this level of inflation was in 1982. Residential services, primarily electricity, gas and other fuels, and transportation contributed the most to the rise in inflation. To summarize, rising food and energy prices continue to exacerbate the country’s cost-of-living crisis. The main bank rate is now at a 13-year high of 1.25%, and the Bank of England expects inflation to exceed 11% by October. Analysts believe the central bank will be forced to take stricter measures at its upcoming meetings.

Trading recommendations
  • Support levels: 1.2222, 1.2093, 1.1974
  • Resistance levels: 1.2422, 1.2470, 1.2523, 1.2629

From the technical point of view, the trend on the GBP/USD currency pair on the hourly time frame is bearish. The price has corrected to the average values, the MACD indicator has become inactive, and a sideways trend is forming. Under such market conditions, sell deals can be considered from the resistance level of 1.2422, but only after the additional confirmation. Buy trades are best to look for on intraday time frames from the support level of 1.2222, but only with confirmation and short targets.

Alternative scenario: if the price breaks out through the 1.2422 resistance level and fixes above, the uptrend will likely resume.

The USD/JPY currency pair

Technical indicators of the currency pair:
  • Prev Open: 136.58
  • Prev Close: 136.22
  • % chg. over the last day: -0.26%

The Bank of Japan is forced to take increasingly tough action to maintain its yield curve control strategy as other central banks, such as the Fed, continue raising interest rates. Consequently, selling pressure on the yen increases as foreign rates rise. But analysts are confident that it will become increasingly challenging to keep policy soft going forward. Japan imports most of its energy from abroad, so the country’s trade surplus has recently turned into a trade deficit as oil prices skyrocket. And tourists are still unable to visit the island, further depressing demand for the yen. Therefore, the Bank of Japan will be forced to capitulate and raise this ceiling entirely or remove yield controls.

Trading recommendations
  • Support levels: 135.12, 133.35, 131.67, 131.00, 130.12, 129.48, 128.76
  • Resistance levels: 135.77, 136.66

The medium-term trend on the USD/JPY currency pair is bullish. The price has corrected to the moving averages. Under such market conditions, buy trades can be considered from the support level of 135.12, but with confirmation. A resistance level of 135.77 is good for sell deals, but only with additional confirmation and short targets.

Alternative scenario: If the price fixes below 133.35, the downtrend will likely resume.

The USD/CAD currency pair

Technical indicators of the currency pair:
  • Prev Open: 1.2921
  • Prev Close: 1.2946
  • % chg. over the last day: +0.19%

The Consumer Price Index in Canada increased by 1.4% last month (forecast +1%, previous +0.6%). Thus, inflation in Canada reached 7.7% annually, which is a record since 1983. Core inflation (which excludes food and fuel prices) rose from 5.8% to 6.3% year on year. Analysts believe the sharp rise in inflation in Canada will boost investor expectations for a more aggressive interest rate hike by the Bank of Canada, which in turn will add confidence to the Canadian dollar. The Bank of Canada may go for a 75 bps hike as early as the next meeting.

Trading recommendations
  • Support levels: 1.2920, 1.2815, 1.2709, 1.2618, 1.2578, 1.2510
  • Resistance levels: 1.2980, 1.3068

In terms of technical analysis, the trend on the USD/CAD currency pair is bullish. The MACD indicator has become inactive, the price has corrected to its average values, and a sideways trend is forming. Under such market conditions, it is better to look for buy deals in the lower time frames from the support level of 1.2920. For sell deals, it is better to consider the resistance level of 1.2980, but it is also better with confirmation and short targets.

Alternative scenario: if the price breaks through and consolidates below the 1.2815 support level, the downtrend will likely resume.

Mid-Week Technical Outlook: Commodity Currencies & Majors In Focus

By ForexTime 

– A wave of risk aversion swept across financial markets on Wednesday as mounting concerns over rising interest rates and recession fears whacked global sentiment.

Stock markets flashed red and commodities tumbled amid the risk-of mood, while the Japanese Yen hit a fresh 24-year low against the mighty dollar. In the FX space, commodity currencies got no love, the dollar flexed its muscles while the pound rebounded on rising BoE rate hike expectations. The second half of the week could be volatile for markets due to Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s testimony to Congress on Wednesday and Thursday. Economic data from major economies could also add more spice, presenting fresh opportunities across FX markets.

If technical analysis is what you seek, then check out the setups below covering commodity and major currencies!

AUDUSD to breach major support?

A major breakdown could be on the horizon for the AUDUSD. Prices are under pressure on the daily charts and there have been consistently lower lows and lower highs. A solid break and daily/weekly close below the 0.6850 support could open doors to levels not seen since May 2022 around 0.6650. Should 0.6850 prove to be reliable support, a rebound back towards 0.7050 and 0.7150 could be on the cards.

Time for USDCAD to resume uptrend?

With the Dollar drawing strength from aggressive rate hike bets and the Canadian dollar weakening as oil prices tumble, the USDCAD has the potential to push higher. Prices are trading above the 50, 100, and 200-day Simple Moving Average while the MACD trades above zero. A rebound from the 1.2900 support could trigger an incline towards 1.3100. Should 1.2900 proves to be unreliable support, prices could descend towards 1.2780 and 1.2700, respectively.

NZDUSD primed for significant breakdown?

After bouncing within a 150 pip range over the past few days, the NZDUSD could be preparing to breakdown.

All eyes will be on how prices behave around the 0.6220 support level which has held since May 2020. A strong breakdown below this point could encourage a selloff towards 0.6100 and 0.6030. A move back above 0.6300 may suggest an incline back towards 0.6450 – a level just below the 50-day Simple Moving Average.

EURUSD on standby…

Nothing much seems to be going on when looking at the EURUSD. Prices remain trapped within a range with support at 1.0480 and resistance around 1.0570. The currency could be waiting for a fresh directional catalyst before making its next big move. A breakdown below 1.0480 may trigger a decline towards 1.0350. Alternatively, a move back towards 1.0630 may open the doors back towards 1.0780.

GBPUSD experiencing ‘dead cat’ bounce?

The GBPUSD remains under pressure on the daily charts as there have been consistently lower lows and lower highs. Prices are trading below the 50, 100, and 200- day Simple Moving Average while the RSI has bounced from oversold territory. A strong breakdown below 1.2150 could signal a decline towards 1.2000. Alternatively, a strong move above 1.2300 may encourage bulls to target 1.2450 and 1.2650, respectively.

What next for the USDJPY?

After hitting a new 24-year high… what is next for the USDJPY?

Prices remain heavily bullish on the daily charts with the daily close above 136.00 signalling further upside. Although the USDJPY has slipped from the 24-year high of 136.71, this technical throwback could open doors towards 137.00 and higher. Should prices close back below 136.00, the next key level of interest can be 134.00.

Bonus: Gold waits on Powell

Gold remains in a tight range ahead of Powell’s testimony to Congress on Wednesday and Thursday.

Interestingly, prices are trading below the 200-day Simple Moving Average which could encourage bears in the near term. A close below $1830 may trigger a decline towards $1800. If prices push back towards $1858, a move towards $1870 and $1900 could be on the cards.
