Article By RoboForex.com

EURGBP, “Euro vs Great Britain Pound”

EURGBP is trading at 0.8673; the instrument is moving inside Ichimoku Cloud, thus indicating a sideways tendency. The markets could indicate that the price may test the cloud’s downside border at 0.8665 and then resume moving upwards to reach 0.8805. Another signal in favor of a further uptrend will be a rebound from the downside border of the Triangle pattern.

The Analytical Overview of the Main Currency Pairs on 2021.05.07

by JustForex

The EUR/USD currency pair

Technical indicators of the currency pair:
  • Prev Open: 1.2003
  • Prev Close: 1.2062
  • % chg. over the last day: +0.49%

The EUR/USD currency pair was bullish on Thursday. Positive news background in Europe played a key role in it. Buyers managed to protect the support level of 1.2002 and create a new level at 1.2027 point.

Trading recommendations
  • Support levels: 1.2027, 1.2002, 1.1957, 1.1835
  • Resistance levels: 1.2074, 1.2108, 1.2145, 1.2176, 1.2212, 1.2243

The price held above the moving average, while the MACD indicator moved into the positive zone. At the moment, a local up-trend has formed, so traders should look for buy positions up to the key resistance level of 1.2108.

Alternative scenario: if the price breaks out through the 1.2108 level and holds above, the general uptrend is likely to continue.

The GBP/USD currency pair

Technical indicators of the currency pair:
  • Prev Open: 1.3891
  • Prev Close: 1.3898

  • Resistance levels: 1.3913, 1.3996, 1.4149

There is no optimal entry point for GBP/USD on the H1 timeframe right now. Traders need to wait for any of the participants to be active. The best strategy would be to either trade intraday local moves or stay out of position until the “Non-Farm” news is released.

Alternative scenario: if the price breaks out through the 1.3913 resistance level and holds above, the bullish scenario is likely to become active again.

The USD/JPY currency pair

Technical indicators of the currency pair:
  • Prev Open: 109.17
  • Prev Close: 109.04
  • % chg. over the last day: -0.11%

The USD/JPY currency pair declined slightly on Thursday, but volatility is still low. Most likely the situation will not change until the release of the US macrostatistics today.

Trading recommendations
  • Support levels: 108.87, 108.44, 108.19,107.77, 107.47, 107.04
  • Resistance levels: 109.49, 109.64, 109.95, 110.51

The price is still trading above the moving average, but the MACD indicator is completely inactive. Under such market conditions, the best strategy would be to trade intraday deals with short targets.

Alternative scenario: if the price drops below 108.44, the downtrend is likely to resume.

USD/JPY
There is no news feed for today.

The USD/CAD currency pair

Technical indicators of the currency pair:
  • Prev Open: 1.2265
  • Prev Close: 1.2146
  • % chg. over the last day: -0.97%

The USD/CAD currency pair fell by 0.97% on Thursday. The price held below the support level and went further down. The divergence on the MACD indicator did not work properly this time.

Trading recommendations
  • Support levels: 1.2138
  • Resistance levels: 1.2251, 1.2321, 1.2388, 1.2414, 1.2519, 1.2618

The trend remains bearish for USD/CAD. The price will not make a deep pullback with such a strong trend, so traders should be looking for sell positions from resistance levels on intraday timeframes.

Alternative scenario: if the price breaks through the 1.2321 resistance level and holds above, a local corrective uptrend is likely to form.

Sterling Whipsaws On BoE Rate Decision

By Lukman Otunuga Research Analyst, ForexTime

Sterling was injected with a burst of volatility on Thursday after the BoE announced they will reduce the pace of weekly asset purchases to £3.4 billion from the previous rate of £4.4 billion.

As widely expected, the central bank voted unanimously to leave interest rates unchanged at their current record low of 0.1%.

Falling Covid-19 cases, the rapid progress in vaccine rollouts, easing lockdown restrictions, and improving domestic conditions have brightened the UK’s economic outlook. Reflecting these positive developments, GDP is forecast to expand sharply in the second quarter of Q2. Annual economic growth for 2021 is projected to be around 7.25% – the strongest seen since the second world war. In 2022, the bank sees GDP at 5.75% versus the previous estimate of 7.25%.

In regards to inflation, this is expected to reach 2.5% by the end of 2021 before dropping back to 2% in the medium term.

Overall, the Bank of England sounded optimistic over the UK’s post-pandemic economic recovery. However, it felt like the bank took a leaf out of the Federal Reserve’s book in regards to messaging and cooling expectations around tightening monetary policy. Bank of England Governor, Andrew Bailey stated during the press conference that the decision to reduce gilt purchases was not tapering.

What does this mean for the Pound?

After the initial whipsaw, the British Pound later weakened against the Dollar and other G10 currencies.

The weakness could be based around the Bank of England not sounding as hawkish as expected and BoE Governor Bailey’s comments during the press conference. Nevertheless, Pound bulls remain supported by the positive developments in the United Kingdom. Looking at the currency’s performance since the start of 2021, it has appreciated against most of its peers in the G10 space excluding the Canadian Dollar and Norwegian Krone.

GBPUSD trapped within 200 pip range

The currency pair remains trapped in a wide 200 pip range on the daily charts.

Support can be found at 1.3800 and resistance at 1.4000. Given how prices are hovering above the 20-day and 50-day Simple Moving Average, this could provide a platform for bulls to attack with the first level of interest back at 1.4000. Given how the GBPUSD has been trapped within this current range since mid-April, it may take a fundamental catalyst to break out if the technicals fail.

Should prices secure a solid close above 1.4000, this could open a path towards 1.4110. Alternatively, a move below 1.3800 may trigger a decline towards 1.3715.

  • Resistance levels: 1.2074, 1.2108, 1.2145, 1.2176, 1.2212, 1.2243

Alternative scenario: if the price breaks out through the 1.2108 level and holds above, the general uptrend is likely to continue.

  • Prev Open: 1.3885
  • Prev Close: 1.3908
  • % chg. over the last day: +0.16%

The GBP/USD currency pair is trading in a narrow range. A bunch of important news from the UK is expected to shake up the price today. Considering that the buyers are pushing the price to the 1.3835 resistance level and no changes are planned in monetary policy, the price is likely to resume growth.

Trading recommendations

Technical indicators of the currency pair:
  • Prev Open: 109.30
  • Prev Close: 109.18
  • % chg. over the last day: -0.11%

The USD/JPY currency pair continues to stay in a flat, without any changes. Japan and China are going back to work today after a long weekend, so traders should expect an increase in volatility.

Trading recommendations
  • Support levels: 108.87, 108.44, 108.19,107.77, 107.47, 107.04
  • Resistance levels: 109.49, 109.64, 109.95, 110.51

The price is still trading above the moving average, but the MACD indicator is completely inactive. Under such market conditions, the best strategy would be to trade intraday deals with short targets.

The USD/CAD currency pair

Technical indicators of the currency pair:
  • Prev Open: 1.2307
  • Prev Close: 1.2265
  • % chg. over the last day: -0.34%

The USD/CAD currency pair continues to trade in the range. Buyers are actively defending the 1.2270 support level. The price fails to break down and holds below. The MACD indicator is showing a divergence, so traders should expect a rebound.

Trading recommendations
  • Support levels: 1.2270, 1.2165
  • Resistance levels: 1.2321, 1.2388, 1.2414, 1.2519, 1.2618

The trend remains bearish on USD/CAD, but the movement has switched to a flat structure. Such scenario is likely to last till Friday, where the interest rate news is expected. The best strategy in a wide flat would be to trade from the borders of the corridor. But taking into account the bearish context, it makes more sense to look for sell positions from resistance levels, despite a possible rebound upwards.

Alternative scenario: if the price breaks through the 1.2414 resistance level and holds above, a local corrective uptrend is likely to form.

EURUSD forms death cross

By Han Tan Market Analyst, ForexTime

The world’s most traded currency pair could be about to drop further.

EURUSD has formed what’s known as a “death cross”, whereby its 50-day simple moving average has crossed below its 200-day counterpart.

Such a technical event typically heralds further declines.

The currency pair is now testing the psychological 1.20 mark as a support level, failing which then the early-February low of around 1.1955 could be the next area of interest for bears.

May is typically a bad month for the euro. Over the past 10 years, the euro has averaged a 1.63% monthly decline versus the US dollar in May alone.

And in living up to such a track record, indeed the euro’s fortunes have been already dismal so far this month, with the shared currency weakening against most of its G10 peers so far this week.

Fundamentally-driven traders and investors will be eyeing these economic data releases due before the weekend:

  • Thursday, 6 May – Eurozone March retail sales data, Germany’s March factory orders
  • Friday, 7 May – Germany’s industrial production and external trade

Still, better-than-expected readings of the Eurozone economy may only have a limited impact on the euro’s performance.

Despite the rosier economic outlook for the EU, the US dollars appears to have a bigger say on EURUSD, with the greenback supported by stabilising US Treasury yields.

As for ECB President Christine Lagarde, who’s due to make a speech later today, she and her colleagues at the European Central Bank may not mind this softer euro. After all, a weaker currency would help buffer its economic recovery. A weaker currency can make Europe’s exports become more competitive on the global stage, while supporting the central bank’s inflation goals.

EURGBP climb loses steam

As for EURGBP, the currency pair’s attempts to break out of its downtrend has been capped by the 0.872 region, with the currency pair now finding support around its 50-SMA for the time being.

The Bank of England’s decision today is also in keen focus, although the central bank is unlikely to adjust its policy setting. Yet, the forward-looking investor will be monitoring the BOE’s economic outlook, considering the stellar progress the UK has enjoyed with its vaccination programme. The inoculation campaign’s early successes have already prompted UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson to expect the end of social-distancing measures by June 21. Such a move would be a massive boost to economic activity in the UK.

Such optimism may also encourage a hawkish tone out of BOE officials who may hint at an eventual paring back of its bond purchases today.

Such hints may spur further gains in the Pound, potentially pushing EURGBP below its 50-SMA and on a path towards its mid-March lows of around 0.85377.

Japanese Candlesticks Analysis 05.05.2021 (USDCAD, AUDUSD, USDCHF)

Article By RoboForex.com

USDCAD, “US Dollar vs Canadian Dollar”

As we can see in the H4 chart, after completing the correction close to the resistance level and forming several reversal patterns there, including Long-Legged Doji, USDCAD may reverse and start a new decline towards 1.2215. After testing this level, the price may resume its descending tendency. However, an alternative scenario implies that the asset may grow to reach the resistance level at 1.2380 before resuming its decline.

USDCAD

AUDUSD, “Australian Dollar vs US Dollar”

As we can see in the H4 chart, during the pullback, AUDUSD has formed several reversal patterns not far from the support level, such as Hammer. At the moment, the asset may reverse and resume trading upwards. In this case, the upside target may be the resistance area at 0.7825. At the same time, an opposite scenario implies that the price may fall towards the support level at 0.7695, test it, and then resume its ascending tendency.

AUDUSD

USDCHF, “US Dollar vs Swiss Franc”

At the moment, after forming several reversal patterns, such as Inverted Hammer, not far from the support area, USDCHF may reverse and form a new pullback. In this case, the correctional target may be the resistance level at 0.9175. Still, there might be an alternative scenario, according to which the asset may continue falling to reach 0.9025 without reversing and correcting.

The Analytical Overview of the Main Currency Pairs on 2021.05.05

by JustForex

The EUR/USD currency pair

Technical indicators of the currency pair:
  • Prev Open: 1.2063
  • Prev Close: 1.2013
  • % chg. over the last day: -0.41%

The EUR/USD currency pair fell by 0.41% on Tuesday. The sellers were able to defend the resistance level of 1.2074, where the price showed a sharp downward reaction.

Trading recommendations
  • Support levels: 1.2002, 1.1957, 1.1835
  • Resistance levels: 1.2074, 1.2108, 1.2145, 1.2176, 1.2212, 1.2243

The MACD indicator started to signal a divergence, and the price failed to break through the support level of 1.2002. Such market conditions are not good for the sellers, so there is a high probability of a rebound in the next trading sessions.

Alternative scenario: if the price breaks out through the 1.2108 level and holds above, the general uptrend is likely to continue.

The GBP/USD currency pair

Technical indicators of the currency pair:
  • Prev Open: 1.3906
  • Prev Close: 1.3885
  • % chg. over the last day: -0.15%

On Tuesday, the GBP/USD currency pair traded in a range near the moving average. Buyers are actively defending the 1.3835 support level, while sellers are holding the defense at the 1.3913 resistance level.

Trading recommendations
  • Support levels: 1.3835, 1.3801, 1.3756, 1.3690
  • Resistance levels: 1.3913, 1.3996, 1.4149

There is no optimal entry point for GBP/USD on the H1 timeframe right now. Traders need to wait for any of the participants to be active. The best strategy would be to either trade intraday local moves or stay out of position.

Alternative scenario: if the price breaks out through the 1.3913 resistance level and holds above, the bullish scenario is likely to become active again.

The USD/JPY currency pair

Technical indicators of the currency pair:
  • Prev Open: 109.06
  • Prev Close: 109.28
  • % chg. over the last day: +0.20%

On Tuesday, the USD/JPY currency pair traded relatively quietly. This is primarily due to the bank holidays in Japan, which will last until Thursday. Volatility is low.

Trading recommendations
  • Support levels: 108.87, 108.44, 108.19,107.77, 107.47, 107.04
  • Resistance levels: 109.49, 109.64, 109.95, 110.51

The price is still trading above the moving average, but the MACD indicator is completely inactive. This indicates a possible start of a flat. Under such market conditions, the best strategy would be to trade intraday deals with short targets.

Alternative scenario: if the price drops below 108.44, the general downtrend will continue with a high probability.

The USD/CAD currency pair

Technical indicators of the currency pair:
  • Prev Open: 1.2274
  • Prev Close: 1.2304
  • % chg. over the last day: +0.24%

The USD/CAD currency pair continues to trade in the range. On Tuesday, the price showed the expected small rebound from the support level of 1.2270. The price reached the 1.2321 resistance level, but buyers failed to consolidate higher, and the price returned to the balance.

Trading recommendations
  • Support levels: 1.2270, 1.2165
  • Resistance levels: 1.2321, 1.2388, 1.2414, 1.2519, 1.2618

As for USD/CAD, the trend remains bearish, but the movement has begun to switch into a flat structure. The best strategy in a wide range would be to trade from the borders of this corridor. But taking into account the bearish context, it makes more sense to look for sell positions.

Alternative scenario: if the price breaks through the 1.2414 resistance level and holds above, a local corrective uptrend is likely to form.
