EURUSD - Looking for Support at 1.11 as ECB Poised to Act

on August 16, 2019 | By Stuart McPhee | EURUSD

In the last few days the EURUSD has fallen back down to the key 1.11 level where it is currently looking for some support after trying to push beyond the key 1.12 level for the entire week prior. The numerous doji and pin bar candlesticks showed how enthusiastic the selling was during that period repelling buying above 1.12. For the last four months the EURUSD has enjoyed a lot of support from the 1.11 level so it is likely to rebound a little off this level.

XAUUSD - Steady Above $1500 as US Equities Fall Sharply on Recession Concerns

on August 15, 2019 | By Stuart McPhee | XAUUSD, Gold

In the last week or so, gold has been content to trade in a narrow range resting on some support at $1500 as it trades at six year highs. Two weeks ago, gold surged higher off support at $1400 towards the recent six year high above $1450, which was reached two weeks ago, before its recent surge higher yet again. It was well supported by the $1400 level for the last month or so, and any time it has moved lower, it has been quickly bought up and supported, pushing it back above this level. If gold was to decline from its current highs, you could reasonably expect it to receive support from $1400 again.

US30 - Rallies Back Above Key 26000 Level Again as Markets Expect More Cuts

on August 14, 2019 | By Stuart McPhee | DJIA, US30

In the last week the US30 Index has rallied a little back above the key 26000 level after it suffered its largest falls this year dropping sharply from near its all time highs down to its lowest levels in two months near 25000 a week earlier. It does look likely to struggle to return to its previous highs, although it has become quite volatile in the last week or so trading around 26000. Prior to the fall and for the last few weeks, the US30 index remained close to its all time high set several weeks ago, after it has surged higher throughout June.
