Summary
📉 AUD/USD Support and Resistance Levels: The AUDUSD pair retested key support levels between 0.6334 and 0.6363 last week and bounced. Today, the price returned to that area on the daily chart. If the price can break below the low of that swing area, it opens the door for more selling...

The EURUSD is ending the week lower after an up-and-down path to the downside. The move to the downside fell below a cluster of MAs with the 200 hour MA being the one that has put a lid on the pair on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and again on Friday. That ceiling increases the 200 hour MA...
GBPUSD Technical Analysis: Sellers Regain Control
The GBPUSD started the week in a choppy trading range, with buyers repeatedly testing the 200-bar moving average (MA) on the 4-hour chart. Over the first four days (and last Friday), the price briefly moved above this MA multiple times, but each...
US yields are trading at fresh highs, with the 10-year yield up 7.0 basis points today to 4.395%. This marks a 24-basis-point gain for the week, the largest 1-week jump since mid-January 2024.
The rising yields have fueled a strong rally in the USDJPY, which continues to track higher.

0.5772 (October 2023 low)
A break below this support area would strengthen the bearish bias...
The AUDUSD remains under seller control, but a critical support zone between 0.6334 and 0.6363 is currently being tested. This area has acted as a significant floor on the daily chart since November 2023.

The USDCAD moved higher today, extending to a new 4+ year high of 1.4243, surpassing levels last seen in April 2020. The next key target is 1.4264, the high from April 2020. A break above this level could pave the way for further upside momentum.

Fundamental Overview
The US CPI report on Wednesday came in line with expectations and sealed the 25 bps cut next week. That helped the Russell 2000 as the hedges into a potentially hot CPI got unwound. The gains though were short lived. The US PPI yesterday surprised to the upside and weighed...

Gold failed to extend the rally above the resistance zone around the 2723 level and pulled back as we got a technical break, and the US PPI came in higher than expected.

The NZD/USD hit a new low for the year yesterday, bottoming at 0.57604, just within the key swing area between 0.5741 and 0.5772 on the daily chart. The price rebounded into the close and continued higher during the early Asian session today, reaching 0.58138, a swing area aligned with the...
The buyers had their chances to push higher, but momentum failed to materialize. Over the past five trading days, the price moved above the falling 200-bar moving average (MA) on the 4-hour chart during four sessions. On the fifth day, the high for the session stalled precisely at the same MA...
The EUR/USD is following a well-defined technical script after the ECB's 25-basis-point rate cut. The pair initially dropped to a low of 1.0463, just above the upper boundary of a key swing area between 1.0448 and 1.0461. Buyers stepped in at this risk-defining level, triggering a rebound.

The SNB cut rates by 50 basis points to 0.50% from 1.00%, exceeding market expectations of a 25 basis point cut. Following the announcement, the USD/CHF pair climbed from 0.8820 to 0.88937, near the top of a key swing area on the hourly chart, between 0.88808 and 0.88941. Sellers initially...
The AUDUSD moved to the lowest level since August yesterday and in the process tested the lowest level going back to November 2023 near 0.6334. The price bounced higher into the close, ending the day at 0.6368 - just above the swing area high (see red numbered circles) on the daily chart at...
The Bank of Canada cut rates by 50 basis points yesterday and the initial reaction was lower (higher CAD).
However, after falling below a target at 1.4145, and the rising 100-hour MA, the price snapped back higher. In trading today, the initial reaction was to the downside before rebounding...

The selling has...
