GBP/USD
The British pound fell a bit during the session on Monday, but again of course we have just had the May Day celebrations, which of course would naturally work with lesser volume. I believe that the 1.2750 level underneath continues to be support, and I think that it’s only a matter of time before the buyers return on a pullback. I like the idea of reaching towards the 1.30 level above, and after that the 1.3450 level after that as it is the top of the previous consolidation area. I think that th…
GOLD
After running above the $1,295-level in the middle of April as the post-March rate hike rally extended further, Gold prices have begun to reverse and have continued to head-lower as we march towards another FOMC rate decision on Wednesday of this week. This is relevant because over the past six months, the two rate hikes offered from the Federal Reserve have appeared to function like kerosene on a scalding hot market, further driving the bullish move in the wake of the Fed’s policy tightening. …
EUR/USD
The EUR/USD pair initially rallied during the day on Tuesday, but the 50-day exponential moving average has yet again offered resistance. It looks now that every time this market rallies, the sellers are willing to jump in. I believe we are going to reach towards the 1.05 handle underneath, but that is a massive barrier to overcome. Because of this, I think short-term scalping to the downside will more than likely be the best way to trade this market, and therefore short-term rallies offer value…
USD/JPY
По време на търговията вчера доларът понижи стойността си от 114.41 до 114.06 йени. Тази сутрин валутната двойка се търгува на нива 114.04. При движението днес, ако доларът преодолее успешно зоната на съпротива 114.56 - 114.65 йени, целта на движението ще е достигане и тест на зоната 115.19 - 115.23 йени.

EUR/USD
The EUR/USD pair fell significantly during the day on Monday, as word got out that Hillary Clinton was not going to be indicted. Because of this, it’s likely that the markets seem to be more comfortable with the “status quo” than the uncertainty of a nationalistic America. At this point, looks as if the market is reaching down to the 1.10 level below, which has previously been support and resistance. With this, I feel that it’s only a matter of time before the market tries that area and perhaps …
GOLD
Gold ended the week up $26.67 at $1304.13, as a weaker dollar, sagging risk appetite and intensifying worries over the outcome of Tuesday's presidential election helped lure buyers back into the market. The XAU/USD pair initially tested the $1272/0 area but found enough support to reverse and broke through a key resistance at $1286. As a result, the market reached the $1307/4 zone. The latest data from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) showed that speculative traders on the Chicago…
GBP/USD
The GBP/USD pair has been going back and forth for quite some time now, as shown on the weekly chart that I have attached to this article. The 1.20 level below is a massive support barrier and I do not believe that it’s going to be very easy to break down below that handle. On the other hand, there is massive resistance at the 1.2850 level above, and of course a bit of psychological resistance at the 1.25 handle. Recently, most people want to focus on the fact that the United Kingdom voted belie…
USD/CAD
The USD/CAD pair has been grinding higher lately, and I believe that will continue to be the case. Ultimately, one of the things that you need to look at when it comes to this currency pair is that the oil markets are so influential when it comes to the Canadian dollar. Ultimately, I think that the market will be paid attention to crude oil as not only is the US dollar strengthening longer-term, but the reality is that the demand for crude oil seems to be falling. Crude oil added 14 million barr…
