on May 20, 2019 | By Stuart McPhee | EURUSD, DJIA, GBPUSD, XAUUSD, US30, Gold

On Tuesday last week we covered gold which didn’t have a great week last week as it finished falling sharply away from the resistance at $1300. To start the week it surged higher to its highest level in a month reaching and testing the key level of $1300. The $1300 level has played a significant role with gold in the last few months and it would have come as little surprise to most that the sellers jumped in again at this level and forced prices lower.

EURUSD - Meets Resistance at 1.12 Despite ECB Officials Expressing Confidence

on May 3, 2019 | By Stuart McPhee | EURUSD

In the last few days the EURUSD has rallied back above the new key level of 1.12 only to be sold off very strongly forcing it lower and is now looking likely to threaten the recent trough and two year low near 1.1110. The 1.12 level has ably supported the currency pair in the last couple of months however the overall trend has been clearly down with lower peaks from its trading levels above 1.15 to start the year. Now that the 1.12 level has been strongly broken through it is likely to continue to provide resistance.
