The Analytical Overview of the Main Currency Pairs on 2021.09.01

by JustForex

The EUR/USD currency pair

Technical indicators of the currency pair:
  • Prev Open: 1.1796
  • Prev Close: 1.1808
  • % chg. over the last day: +0.10%

The inflation rate in Europe increased to 3% on a year-on-year basis, which is much higher than the target indicator of the European Central Bank of 2%. The new ECB program implies some deviation from the target, but what kind of deviation is acceptable and what is not – it’s all up to the officials. Therefore, a 50% jump in prices might cause some concern for investors as the central bank might start taking action to suppress inflation.

Trading recommendations
  • Support levels: 1.1799, 1.1759, 1.1704, 1.1620
  • Resistance levels: 1.1817, 1.1854, 1.1894, 1.1934, 1.1969

From a technical point of view, the general trend of the EUR/USD currency pair is bearish. But the price is trading above the moving average and tried to break through the priority change level, but failed to consolidate higher. The MACD is signaling a divergence in the opposite direction. Under such market conditions, it is best to look for sell trades from the resistance levels, where sellers show initiative. Buy trades can be considered only after a pullback or after a breakthrough of the priority change level.

Alternative scenario: if the price breaks through the 1.1817 resistance level and fixes above, the mid-term uptrend will likely resume.

  • – US ADP Non-Farm Employment Change (m/m) at 15:15 (GMT+3);
  • – US ISM Manufacturing PMI (m/m) at 17:00 (GMT+3).

The GBP/USD currency pair

Technical indicators of the currency pair:
  • Prev Open: 1.3759
  • Prev Close: 1.3755
  • % chg. over the last day: -0.03%

In July, The UK consumer credit did not increase for the first time since February, indicating a slowing recovery from the crisis. Business confidence reached a four-year high, but companies expressed concerns about staff shortages, which could eventually lead to wage increases in the coming months.

Trading recommendations
  • Support levels: 1.3741, 1.3692, 1.3632, 1.3614, 1.3525
  • Resistance levels: 1.3793, 1.3772, 1.3886, 1.3935, 1.4002

On the hourly time frame, the GBP/USD trend is bearish. The MACD indicator became negative. Under such market conditions, it is better to look for sell trades from the resistance level, where sellers show initiative. Buy positions can be considered only with short targets throughout the day.

Alternative scenario: if the price breaks through the 1.3885 resistance level and consolidates above, the bullish scenario will likely resume.

The USD/JPY currency pair

Technical indicators of the currency pair:
  • Prev Open: 109.92
  • Prev Close: 109.98
  • % chg. over the last day: +0.05%

Japan is still struggling with an outbreak of infection. Many regions have suspended vaccination because of the problems with the Moderna vaccine. Moreover, a group of Japanese researchers have discovered a new mutation of the Delta strain. Japan’s economic situation is complicated before the election of a new prime minister.

Trading recommendations
  • Support levels: 110.11, 109.43, 109.19, 108.65
  • Resistance levels: 110.34, 110.66, 110.95, 111.48

The main trend of the USD/JPY currency pair is bullish. Due to the strengthening of the dollar index, the price managed to break above the flat structures yesterday. The MACD indicator has become positive. Under such market conditions, traders should look for buy trades from the support level, where the buyers show initiative. Sell positions should be considered only on the lower time frames from the resistance levels with short targets.

Alternative scenario: if the price falls below 109.18, the uptrend is likely to be broken.

USD/JPY
There is no news feed for today.

The USD/CAD currency pair

Technical indicators of the currency pair:
  • Prev Open: 1.2601
  • Prev Close: 1.2612
  • % chg. over the last day: +0.09%

Canada’s growth indicators data turned out to be disappointing: GDP unexpectedly decreased by 0.3% in the last quarter. The Canadian dollar is a commodity currency, so the USD/CAD currency pair is highly dependent on the dynamics of the dollar index and oil prices. Yesterday, the dollar index slightly strengthened, while oil remained at the same level. As a result, the USD/CAD currency pair restored it’s position.

Trading recommendations
  • Support levels: 1.2602, 1.2554
  • Resistance levels: 1.2656, 1.2713, 1.2812, 1.2891, 1.2951

In terms of technical analysis, the USD/CAD trend is still bullish. The price was testing the priority change level yesterday. But it couldn’t break through the level, and failed to consolidate below. A false breakdown zone was formed. It is better to look for buy positions from the priority change level where buyers show initiative. Sell positions can be considered from the resistance levels, or after the breakthrough of the 1.2602 support level.

Alternative scenario: if the price breaks through the 1.2602 support level and fixes below, the uptrend will likely be broken.

Inflation in the Eurozone increased to a ten-year high

by JustForex

Amid a temporary strengthening of the dollar index, major US stock indices declined yesterday. The Dow Jones index decreased by 0.11%, the S&P 500 index decreased by 0.13%, and the NASDAQ index lost 0.04% at the close of trading. 7 of the 11 sectors closed in the red zone. The technology and energy sectors declined most. But despite that, the S&P 500 index added almost 3% at the end of the month. It is the seventh month of growth in a row. And while the Fed is in no hurry to tighten its monetary policy, the rally is likely to continue. Investors’ attention is now focused on labor market data, which will be released later this week. The Federal Reserve relies on employment reports, so very good figures may provoke investors to start selling.

Amid the return of millions of employees from remote work to offices, shares of video conferencing service Zoom fell by more than 15% after the company signaled an earlier-than-expected decline in demand. Investors now expect the Q3 report period will not be so profitable as the previous ones.

European stock indices also showed negative dynamics on the last day of summer. The British FTSE 100 decreased by 0.4%, German DAX lost 0.3%, French CAC 40 decreased by 0.1%, Italian FTSE MIB and Spanish IBEX 35 decreased by 0.06% and 0.2% respectively. On the other hand, the FTSE 100 index showed its best month since April, while the European Stoxx 600 index grew for the seventh month in a row. The UK energy regulator has established a £450 million fund for innovative projects that will help the country reach its net-zero climate goals. Ryanair plans to transport more passengers this fall than it did in the summer, raising its plan for the next three months after restoring traffic. The inflation rate in Europe increased to 3% year-over-year, which is much higher than the target indicator of the European Central Bank of 2%. The new ECB program implies some deviation from the target, but what kind of deviation is acceptable and what is not is all at the discretion of officials.

It took nearly a month for gold to recover from a sharp drop in prices that had occurred at the beginning of August. At the end of the month, the price closed at +0.3%. And as far as the Fed puts off the cutting of the QE program, growth is likely to continue.

Aluminum reached its highest level in a decade due to high demand and concerns that China may cut production in an effort to reduce energy consumption and emissions.

According to the American Petroleum Institute, oil inventories fell by 4.045 million barrels last week, which was higher than analysts expected. Today, the OPEC+ meeting will be held, and the crude oil reserves data will be released. Volatility in oil prices will jump. Yesterday, Kuwait’s oil minister suggested that OPEC+ might decide to postpone plans of increasing production by 400,000 barrels per day. However, most analysts and refiners expect OPEC+ to stick to its plans to increase oil production gradually.

China’s recovery has slowed. The corporate growth has almost stopped, and the service sector is contracting. It is negatively affecting the dynamics of major Asian indices. Australia’s GDP increased by 0.7%, but economists are confident that we will witness more consequences of COVID-19 restrictions.

Main market quotes:

S&P 500 (F) 4,522.68 −6.11 (−0.13%)

Dow Jones 35,360.73 −39.11 (−0.11%)

DAX 15,835.09 −52.22 (−0.33%)

FTSE 100 7,119.70 −28.31 (−0.40%)

EURUSD Could Have Reversed

By Orbex

Analysts expect the EURUSD pair to ascend as part of its final 5th wave.

Following the completion of intermediate wave (4) as a triple zigzag, the 5-wave move might consist of minor sub-waves 1-2-3-4-5.

Currently, the market is showing a biased upwards move, forming wave 1.

In the medium-term traders can look for resistance at 1.2268. Intervening wave X marked these levels.

EURUSD

A triple zigzag within the triple zigzag makes a probable alternative to the scenario above.

This type of combination would become part of the second actionary wave of the triple zigzag. This would bring the final intervening wave ⓧ within the minor wave Z.

To complete Z, we can expect a minuette simple (or double) zigzag.

The zigzag could have the pair decline toward 1.1403. At that level, minor wave Z will be at 161.8% of wave Y.

Intraday Market Analysis – USD Sees Limited Rebound

By Orbex

EURUSD continues to recover

EURUSD

The US dollar continues to soften from weaker-than-expected consumer sentiment in August.

The euro bulls gained confidence after the single currency rallied above 1.1800, an important supply zone from the mid-August sell-off. Now, this has turned into an area of congestion along a rising trendline. Furthermore, it is a clear indication of a bullish bias in the short term.

However, an overbought RSI may lead to a limited pullback. A bounce off 1.1795 would propel the pair to the daily resistance at 1.1900.

USDCAD struggles for support

USDCAD

The Canadian dollar stalled after the Q2 GDP fell short of expectations. The US counterpart is testing the 30-day moving average and last week’s rebound failed to make an impression.

The fall below 1.2580 suggests a lack of buying interest. 1.2500 on the daily chart is a critical floor. A deeper retracement would put buyers on the defense with 1.2300 as a potential target.

On the upside, buyers will need to rack up offers at 1.2700 before they could hope for a second chance. Then 1.2900 would be within reach.

AUDUSD rises to major resistance

AUDUSD

The Australian dollar edges higher on upbeat Q2 GDP. The pair continues to recover along a rising trendline after it bounced back from the daily demand area near 0.7100.

The bullish pace accelerated after the first resistance at 0.7170 was lifted. Buyers are pushing towards the major hurdle at 0.7400 from the daily time frame.

A bullish breakout may trigger a runaway rally as medium-term sellers cover their positions. That in turn could end a three-month correction. 0.7290 is fresh support to let the RSI return to neutrality.

USDCHF Zigzag Could Print Fresh Highs

By Orbex

The current USDCHF formation hints at a double zigzag Ⓦ-Ⓧ-Ⓨ in cycle wave y. Currently, the last primary wave Ⓨ is under development.

Due to its complex internal structure, it will most likely take the form of a double combination (W)-(X)-(Y). If waves (W) and (X) have been completed already, then wave (Y) could provide a bullish opportunity.

Analysts expect the end of wave (Y) near 0.947. At that level, cycle wave y will be at 76.4% of wave w.

USDCHF

However, the primary wave Ⓧ may not be fully completed yet. In that case, probabilities suggest that it could take the formation of a double three (W)-(X)-(Y) pattern.

With two-thirds of the structure in wave (Y) completed, we could see prices move in wave C towards the 0.901 area. At that level, primary wave Ⓧ will be at 76.4% of wave Ⓦ.

However, the bullish scenario may be cancelled if the price breaks the cloud’s downside border and fixes below 1.1680. In this case, the pair may continue falling towards 1.1585.
