    EUR/USD Fundamental Analysis: February 6, 2019

    [​IMG]

    The euro major pair had a steep drop during yesterday’s trading as the US dollar took the lead in the broad market for the fourth straight days. And yet, the pair was able to move downward with the recent price rally of the pair boosted by the weakened dollar in the market instead of the euro’s strengthening. This occurs in the background of bearish tone due to dovish Fed statements and mixed macro data in the US market. At the same time, the euro is struggling as investors stand heedful with concerns on the economic sluggish growth due to below expectations macroeconomic data in the eurozone. The successful breakout of the dollar was driven by good risk appetite in the broad market, as well as the not so good macro data results.

    The macro data also restricted movement in the early American hours while there is an insufficient drive for the euro to maintain its growth with the recent highs. Added to the strengthening of the dollar, it supported a steady downward movement and exceeded multiple significant support levels during the Asian trading session. Continuing on, the pair dropped below 1.14 in the background of the thin market during the holidays and less volatility and trading volume that hindered the market for a breakthrough in the support area.

    For today, investors are waiting for the release of macroeconomic data and resulted to a bearish breakout. On the European calendar, the pair remains subdued for the day except for the release of the German manufacturing orders. On the other end, there is the release of building permits, core retail sales, core durable goods orders, and Preliminary GDP data qoq in the US. A positive outcome of these US macro data induces the pair to overcome the critical support level of 1.1390 that opens further decline of the pair towards the middle of 1.12. Yet, this would support the euro to gain higher than 1.14 given the negative US data but this may not be easy with the greenback growing steadfastly in the broad market for the fifth straight day.

    EUR/USD Fundamental Analysis: February 7, 2019

    The euro major pair is moving in a steady decline following a bearish breakthrough during the US session. Yesterday, it closed on optimistically for the fifth straight session after it struggled in the morning when Donald Trump gave his speech, giving a chance for investors to divert from risks. At the same time, with a pessimistic fundamental data surrounding the euro and positive macro data from the US supported the dollar for a bearish breakout. Consequently, the pair had a sharp decline prior to consolidation around the middle of 1.13 during the early Asian hours. Fed may have a dovish sentiment on its rate hike but the US dollar sustained its positive position in the market as investors and analysts assume the Fed to proceed with the rate hike this year.

    Moreover, a good fundamental data surrounding the US Treasury bond yields support the dollar bulls since the beginning of this week’s trading and hovered higher than 1.362, increasing by 0.06% on the day. With the Asian session traders returning the market after the holidays, the trading volume, as well as volatility are expected to increase significantly. Furthermore, the investors are hoping for good macro data and open opportunities for short-term profit.

    In the US, the Initial Jobless Claims data is anticipated while in the EU, several reports are to be released including the EU Economic forecast, German Industrial Production, and trade balance data, and ECB Economic Bulletin. Positive results will spur the euro and likely to sustain its consolidative rate but a negative outcome will further bring the price down towards 1.12.

    On the technical aspect, there will be less resistance below as it moves smoothly below the 20-, 50- and 100-MA in daily and hourly intraday charts. As for the indicators, both RSI and stochastic signal lines are directed towards the oversold area in the hourly chart while it is still below the oversold area in the 4-hour and daily charts, which means that there is a high chance for the decline of the pair to continue for the day.

    EUR/USD Fundamental Analysis: February 8, 2019

    [​IMG]

    After four succeeding bearish trading, the euro major pair finally gained some momentum towards the end of the week. However, the euro bulls have limited the downward movement and close optimistically for the week. The week began with the US dollar taking the lead amid the thin trading during the holidays affecting market volatility, volume and risk appetite in the majority of the Asian session. Furthermore, below expectations released macro data in the euro zone escalated concerns in the market as investors worry on the tendency of a slowdown in the euro area economic activity amid the Brexit negotiations. In turn, these factors give a bearish sentiment to the common currency. At the same time, this supports the dollar’s attempt for a bearish breakout.

    With its decline for a week, the release of macro data from the US hinders the dollar bulls to continue with its further decline. There is no enough momentum for recovery for the dollar bulls given the pessimistic unemployment data while the bulls are in a calm state in the broad market. Yet, the euro cannot take advantage of the upward momentum amid the lack of major economic data to support a price rally. Hence, this results in range-bound trading after intraday lows close to the middle of 1.35, which will likely persist throughout the day since there is minimal chance for a breakout with no fundamental data to support this.

    Meanwhile, minor reports are anticipated to come out from the EU and the United States. The German trade balance data and preliminary French Q4 NFP data are anticipated to come out from eurozone while the WASDE report and U.S. Baker Hughes oil rig count data are scheduled to be released from the US.

    On a technical aspect, it seems that it lacks the strength to determine the direction as it stays close to recent lows.

    USD/JPY Technical Analysis: February 22, 2019

    The dollar against the Japanese yen is trading slightly higher on Friday amid a relatively low volume. For the sixth trading day, volatility stays below the average after below expectations outcome of the US economic data. Various data including Durable Goods, Core Durable Goods, the Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Index, Flash Manufacturing PMI and Existing Home Sales are less than expected outcome which settles the Fed concerns over this economic struggle ahead.

    Looking at the early price action, the USD/JPY pair will probably trade for short-term at 110.693. If the price stays above 110.693, it will signify the presence of buyers. The initial target of the week’s high at 110.950. Breaking this level would induce an upward growth to change that closing top price reversal of 111.130.

    On the other hand, if the price stays below the level of 110.693, it will indicate the presence of sellers. The primary target will be the main Fibonacci level of 110.452. Crossing to the weak side would mean a stronger drive for momentum with the lower limit at 110.255 as the next goal.

    EUR/USD Fundamental Analysis: March 11, 2019

    The euro is trading higher on Monday for a while prior to the opening of the US session, driven by the reaction of the market to oversold induced by a steep decline last week. The dovish signals from the ECB last week affect the long-term price movement, hence, we can conclude that the rally will not last for a long time.

    It is likely that we are also looking for price parity after the results of a mixed US employment has come out. This implies that the US economy is presently weakening. However, after the recent stimulus program of the ECB, it may mean that the eurozone is on the weaker side of the two nations.

    We can expect for low volatility after the release of the US sales report at 12.30 GMT especially if this turns out less than the forecast. The core retail sales report is anticipated to increase by 0.4% while retail sales are likely to come out flat.

    According to the daily chart, the price trend is moving downward and if it reaches the level of 1.1176, the downtrend will likely continue. The initial target is the Gann angle at 1.1560 in consideration of the price action at the beginning with upward momentum. Overcoming this angle would mean the short-partaking is getting stronger and could lead to a rally towards the 50% level of 1.1298.

    The short-range is presumed to be at 1.1420 and 1.1176 with the retracement zoner at 1.1298 and 1.1327 as the initial upward target. Meanwhile, sellers are likely to test the area given that the main trend is downward. However, if the current intraday fails to exceed today's’ intraday high of 1.1247, then we can assume the possibility of a short-term pullback to a short-term pivot of 1.1213.

    EUR/USD Fundamental Analysis: March 13, 2019

    [​IMG]

    Yesterday’s trading of the EUR/USD pair began in a subdued manner for this week. Meanwhile the price moved upward during the Asian and early European session which limited the gains of investors prior to the UK parliament meeting and limits having any major bets. Even after the release of the a mix macro data from the European calendar, the impact was not that prominent on the price movement but a strong resistance was encountered close to the level of 1.127, which then rallied and traded range-bound. This was supported by the mixed macro data which then weakened the greenback. Soon after, the us dollar gained momentum and strengthened in the late European hours after the release of optimistic US macro data.

    The European calendar remains calm from the release of non-farm payroll in France in the fourth quarter while in US session, there is the release of the core CPI update and speech from FOMC member Brainard prior of UK parliament’s vote on Brexit deal. Both of the French and US macro data are unlikely to have a strong impact on the price movement with a neutral forecast or unchanged data. On a technical aspect, a breakout would determine the price direction which will likely be the main reason in short- and long-term outlook. Moreover, with the May deal and widening spread between German and American 10-year bonds will probably favor the US dollar.

    The euro major pair moved in a two-way price movement driven by investor sentiment because of headlines. There is high-risk appetite throughout the day which supported the euro to move in a positive price action early in the day. However, news of a delay in meeting between the Chinese and US presidents to sign a trade deal later this month to April which influenced the investor sentiment to be cautious in the late European market hours. In turn, the EUR/USD pair dropped slightly but attention is still focused on the UK parliament vote to extend the article 50 deadline and price in the majority of global traders.

    Investors wait for the release of the macro data to get some hints on the trading session which is about to close for the week. On the fundamental reports, data on Italian CPI & HICP and Euro area CPI data from the EU calendar are expected while report on Industrial production data, JOLTs Job Openings, Michigan Consumer sentiment, and Michigan Consumer expectation from the US are scheduled to be published.

    On the technical aspect, there is less resistance on the upper side of the channel if Brexit continued in front of the UK parliament and high-risk appetite in the broad market.

    This week starts with a fresh new high for the euro major pair. However, all of the gains were erased after the release of a weakened European PMI, particularly from the German and Eurozone. The results were not expected by investors. Moreover, will the presence of uncertainty, there was an increase in selling bias for the currency, which resulted to a downward rally which was mainly due to the weakened manufacturing added to the concerns on US-China trade war in the background of Brexit negotiation that affects the overall imports and exports of the nation. Uncertainty will probably resume during the week.

    With the big drop of the EUR/USD pair on Thursday, the price could not break the resistance level of 1.1318. This was followed by a slight reversal on Monday morning after its plunge to recover the previous losses and reached 1.131.

    Fundamental data from the US particularly the Chicago Fed activity index and Dallas Fed manufacturing activity are anticipated in the afternoon. Meanwhile, reports from German will be published by the CESifo group. This gives signals on the present conditions and business assumptions in Germany. Forecasts are positive for these expected data.

    The euro major pair began the week with optimism after a sharp drop on Friday. They managed to have positive results across the day and close with a slight upward movement at the end of the day. Events on both the EU and the US bond market had a big impact on the price activity. Meanwhile, the bond market induced a risk-averse reaction to the European and American markets. Yet, the positive macro data from Europe as well as a slight rebound in American bond that lessens the aversion of traders to risk in yesterday’s price movement.

    The German macro data favored the euro to have gains. During the US session, it was apparent that there is a healthy risk appetite on trading activity. Thus, the euro closed on an optimistic note in the broad global market yesterday. Yet, the bond market still gives hints for a US recession, which also restricted the gains for euro yesterday.

    During the Asian hours, the pair traded range-bound prior to the update of the EU macro data, which will confirm the positive signals. At the same time, the pair has a bearish pressure due to Brexit negotiation. In the meantime, traders are heedful and careful in placing major trades, although the positive fundamental macro data can drive momentum and short-term opportunities for direction.

    Today, data on Building Permits, Housing starts, and CB consumer confidence are anticipated from the US and the release of GFK German Consumer Climate data are scheduled from the eurozone.

    The euro major pair had a slight correction at the beginning of the Thursday session after the rise in the US dollar index. It rose with a dovish sentiment from the major world banks.

    Yesterday, the ECB President Mario Draghi gave a signal of a possibility of a decline in the global economy. The central bank of New Zealand maintained the interest rate but hinted at the likelihood of a rate cut in the near term before or around the month of November. The price remained calm at the level of 1.1387 after the news saying that Theresa May will resign if the deal on Brexit is rejected twice.

    Despite the global economy being sensitive, the EUR/USD pair may still have a bright outlook and remain optimistic on closing amid the major events today. Data on business climate for March and the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) index for March from the eurozone are anticipated to be released from Europe while the GDP for the fourth fiscal year is scheduled to be released from the US. This data is important as it would have an impact on major currency pairs including the euro.

    The Simple Moving Average was found above the pair’s trading level, which gives a bearish tone for the day. It was able to reach the resistance level of 1.1267 in the past few days and there is a chance to achieve this area again today. However, it seems that there is no momentum to push the pair considering the MACD indicator.

    The euro declined more than the strong resistance level of 1.1192 during the North American session after the drop in US-German yield spread. However, the decline seems to have diminished on Wednesday morning. The attempt to work on the strong resistance level has succeeded as it moved slowly towards the next resistance level.

    With the most recent optimistic news related to the US-China trade deal almost close to the resolution supported the crude oil prices up to $70 per barrel level, which is also anticipated to raise the EUR/USD pair.

    In the Eurozone, Markit will release the March PMI monthly Composite Reports on Manufacturing and services for Eurozone, which is expected to be close to the previous result. Additionally, the February Retail Sales (YoY) from Eurostat is also scheduled in the eurozone. Meanwhile, in the US, the March Non-Manufacturing PMI from the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) will be published. Although, this won’t have a big impact.

    The pair broke the upper level of 1.1220/1.2230 from 78.6 retracement level. Yet, it failed to break the resistance level of 1.1270 as it trades higher than the SMA for the important levels to come. The pair now have a bullish sentiment on its future outlook. Yet, the MACD shows no hints of bullishness to buy.

    The euro major pair is trading at a higher price on Monday session but stays in the range of yesterday for the third time. This chart movement imposes indecision and impending volatility which is driven by a weaker US dollar.

    There is pressure over the dollar after the result of sluggish growth of the US non-farm payroll report with subdued average hourly growth. Hence, traders are likely to set positions prior to the release of the minutes of the meeting of the US Fed on monetary policy on Wednesday.

    Although, the pair shows upward main trend to the swing chart despite the longer downward trend. After buyers broke through the previous main top at 1.1420 and trading to 1.1177 will shift the trend downward. However, a move towards 1.1448 will probably cause a continuation of the upward movement.

    A maintained move higher than 1.1232 will indicate the presence of buyers with the first upper target at the minor top of 1.1255. Passing this level could bring the euro pair to the next upward Gann angle of 1.1287 with highly likely speed up to 50% level of 1.1316.

    On the other hand, if the price stays below 1.1232, this would mean the presence of sellers with the next downward target at 1.1183, 1.1185 and 1.1187. A rebound is anticipated on the primary test of 1.1183 to 1.1187. But if this does not happen, then we can anticipate for the pair to extend up towards the bottom of 1.1177 and the trend with shift downward through this main downtrend.

    The euro major pair extended its consolidation within the range of 1.1273 and 1.1280. With rising geopolitical tensions from the FOMC minutes and the most recent update on Brexit, the growth of the global economy is affected negatively.

    The US dollar remained weak after the FOMC published a dovish sentiment on economic growth.

    The EU officials announced a flexible extension of Brexit until October 31, which means that Britain can exit before the deadline before the set date given that the deal can be ratified before the specified date. This means that they are hoping for EU to finish at an earlier data. In case that the UK is unsuccessful to ratify the deal on May 23rd, it means that EU elections can take place.

    In the eurozone, Data on Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (YoY), the Consumer Price Index (YoY), Consumer Price Index (MoM) and Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices(HICP) (MoM) is scheduled to be released today. On the other hand, in the US, data on March Producer Price Index ex Food & Energy (YoY), an update on weekly Initial Jobless Claims as well as Counting Jobless Claims are anticipated to be published today.

    Henceforth, the euro traded range-bound during the Asian session and remained in the range at 1.1255/1.1285. The EUR/USD pair trades above the Ichimoku clouds, as well as the baseline and the conversion line, giving a bullish signal on future movements. The Bollinger bands remain on a decline, signifying less volatility. The euro major pair hovered at the upper boundary that could open the possibility for a bullish trend.

    Previously, the German spread slid by 232 bp and gave a strong momentum to the euro major pair. After it grew from its lowest point at 1.1294, the pair was trading close to 1.1307 during the Asian hours. The pair stayed close to the secured level ranging at 1.1302/12.

    In the international news, there is optimism regarding the US-China trade agreement with expectations that the pair will end prior to the last week of April.

    The US Industrial scores (MoM) will be released, which is anticipated to cause some volatility. The forecast is presumed to increase by 0.2 percent compared to the previous one.

    In the EU, they will publish the economic sentiment for Germany which will likely have a big impact with the forecast of 0.8 points increase. There will also be the index for the EMU but will have a lesser effect.

    On the 4-hour chart, the price trades higher than SMA, indicating bullish sentiment. The price level of 1.1288 on 200-SMA is higher than 100-SMA, which is how the price looks in general. It seems that the price will be in a neutral stance for short-term

    When looked into the 30-min chart, things urge more towards the neutral side in the near term. However, the euro pair had already breached the 21-day SMA and was afterward trading below the 55-day SMA.

    The euro major pair declined yesterday from the high of 1.1325 and then consolidated close to the level of 1.1300. There were signs of a decline during the early Asian hours. It needs to descend to the strong support level in order to confirm the bearish tone. Still, this pair tries to keep the level at a sustainable level of 1.1300.

    On the technical perspective, the Ichimoku clouds give a bearish tone towards 1.1280 with the baseline and conversion line emerging with the pair. Thus, this generates a neutral forecast. As for the SMA, the price was below the 100- and 200- SMA giving a small bearish trend. However, if it rises backed with the fundamental reports, then the pair will see a strong resistance level of 1.1320.

    Early this week, the ECB officials stated their concerns for strong economic growth but seem far-fetched. The dovish sentiment originated from the drop of the EUR/USD pair. It may worsen the significant fundamental events disappoints market expectations.

    Today, data on German PPI for March (MoM) came out less than the forecast. Other reports including German PMI for Germany will be released later and Retail Sales Control Group for March from the United States.

    EUR/USD Technical Analysis: April 22, 2019

    The euro major pair is moving sideways in a narrow trading range of 1.1237/52. There is some apparent movements on the Thursday session as it dropped to a two-week low amid the increasing greenback. The decline dropped after the release of the US retail sales data which induced the US dollar index to increase.

    As for the pair, it’s decline has further intensified in the background of the weakened data in the German and Eurozone PMI reports. It looks like that after effects of the Thursday session has remained.

    The US dollar reached the level of 97.50 as the monthly high against a basket of currency pair. Also, the crude oil was peaking in high levels during the morning session, which further complicated the condition.

    On the other side, the progress remains risk-averse despite some pessimistic news on Brexit over the weekends. Speculation continues in regards to the resignation UK PM Theresa May while everybody waits for the advancement of the UK parliament officially on April 23rd.

    For the day, data on economic activity index from the Chicago Fed National Activity Index (CFNAI) for the month of March and estimate of the March MoM existing Home Sales from National Association of Realtors are scheduled to be released. If the home sales came out with a drop more than 210K, it will likely result in an increase of the euro major pair.

    In trading, the upper hand seems to be on the bears as the 21-SMA moves along the pair and moves strongly in long-term that could mean a bearish tone for long-term. This is further supported by the 100- and 200-SMA marking higher than the euro major pair. The resistance line around 1.1324 stands strong while the support will probably remain at 1.1212.

    GBP/USD Daily Analysis: April 25, 2019

    The British major pair continued its decline which began since the middle of April. Prior to this, the pair consolidated at the beginning of the trading session. It reached as low as 1.2917, close to 1.2884. So far, it positions at the lowest level this month.

    The negotiations between the Prime Minister continued and the Labour party over Brexit. The Labour party requested for modifications in the Agriculture bill while most expected a compromise over Brexit.

    Overall, it seems that things are in favor of the prime minister as May was successful in gaining an early no-confidence vote in the UK parliament.

    For today, data on Distributive Trades Survey in April (MoM) will be released by the Confederation of British Industry with anticipation for a bullish sentiment from analysts. Various March indices will be published as well, namely, US Nondefense Capital Goods Orders (excluding the Aircrafts), Durable Goods Orders, Durable Goods Orders (excluding Defence and excluding Transportation on the other). April reports are also scheduled including Continuing Jobless Claims and Initial Jobless Claims.

    In the technical aspect, the cable pair is trading to its lowest level at 1.2882 for the month. Meanwhile, Bollinger Bands remains low amid expected low volatility and lost its stance on the strong level of 1.300. The price crossed the EMA, showing an upward sign in the short-term. Yet, investors continue to unaffected by the RSI close to 30th figure. The 200-SMA is higher than 100-SMA by 30 pips and majority shows bearish legs for the pair.

    EUR/USD Daily Analysis: April 26, 2019

    The price of the euro major pair rose slightly yesterday after reaching the lowest level on the chart. Yet, trading has remained subdued today as it consolidates close to 1.1136.

    Since the start of the week, it lost around 117 pips for a given period of time. Surprisingly, the euro major pair broke the level of 1.1185 but it didn’t really have an impact on the traders.

    The market worsened with the ongoing EU-US trade conflict and the ECB remained neutral or bearish with the EMU economic growth. Meanwhile, the USD index is also one of the concerns for the pair.

    There are some significant events from the euro which will likely influence the pair for the day yet the steady US data wait for the pair. Nevertheless, the events from the US may support the pair higher.

    Today, the SNB head, Thomas Jordan will have a conference which may affect the Swiss Franc in particular. From the US, report on the Annualized GDP growth for the first quarter will be released of which the experts forecast a bearish outcome with high volatility. At the same time, various data including GDP Price Index, Personal Consumption Expenditure Prices (QoQ), Core Personal Consumption (QoQ) and Consumer Sentiments from Michigan for the first quarter are scheduled today.

    The pair was seen trading close to the 18-month low during the Asian session. The bearish sentiment remains as it moves close to 1.1139. It attempts to rise higher to the upper region of the Bollinger bands, yet, there is a reduction in the background of low volatility. The significant SMA stands strong, suggesting for a bearish movement in the future.

    EUR/USD Daily Analysis: April 30, 2019

    Trading of the euro major pair began close to 0.1184 and find it quite difficult to rise higher. During the Asian session, the pair crossed by more than 90 pips, which looks good for the traders.

    However, the fundamental data was not enough to support the pair which then weakened the dollar. Meanwhile, the US GDP and Durable Goods Orders supported the increase of the greenback. The upcoming interest decision of the Fed is important to be monitored.

    The week ended with the euro major pair being the top concern after the improved European government bond yields. Meanwhile, the topic on UK’s Brexit remains uncertain along with the Sino-US trade deal, which is not surprising for the market at the present condition.

    For today, various data from eurozone including German March Consumer Confidence Survey Index, the KOF Swiss April Leading Indicator, German March Consumer Confidence Survey Index, updated German April Unemployment Change, GDP numbers from EMU (QoQ), German April HICP (YoY) are expected. On the other hand, February S&P/ Case-Shiller Home Price Indices (YoY), Chicago April PMI and US March (both MoM & YoY) Pending Home Sales are scheduled to be released as well.

    On the technical outlook, the euro major pair is on its way to recovery. The pair moves close to the upper area of the Bollinger Bands, indicating upward signals. The important 200-days SMA recently crossed the 50-days SMA and moved below it. Yet, all the major SMA have bullish legs. As for the RSI, it stayed around the overbought area.
