Forex trading Gold and Silver, WTI and Brent in cup and handle pattern [Video]

Last time we spotted this ascending triangle on the S&P500.

When price action broke the lower trend line it fell substantially.

Yesterday, earnings reports and fundamental news were unfavourable to many large US equities and all the US indices fell.

But, we can see how the stochastic oscillator showed us the reversal as bargain hunters piled into the markets.

However, we will keep an eye on our trend lines to ensure the direction as this may be the start of a bear run.

The NASDAQ had the same reaction but we see no evidence of a bear run.

In fact, we will watch our support and resistance levels for range trading opportunities.

The DJIA seems to be the most pessimistic, fundamentally and technically.

It is very rare to see the 3 major US Indices behaving this diversely from the technical perspective.

Last time we were wondering if the bear run on WTI & Brent Crude Oil was ending and it looks like our hunch was correct.

We now see price action in a cup and handle pattern (yes, this is a real pattern) which is usually bullish.

But, watch your technicals and the news from the Middle East.

Speaking of geopolitical news, Gold reached another all-time high, pulled back, and is heading back up again.

The stochastic oscillator is now heading back up from oversold.

That’s all for now.

CFDs and FX are leveraged products and your capital may be at risk.

EUR/USD flirts with daily highs, retargets 1.1900

EUR/USD regains upside traction, returning to the 1.1880 zone and refocusing its attention to the key 1.1900 barrier. The pair’s slight gains comes against the backdrop of a humble decline in the US Dollar as investors continue to assess the latest US CPI readings and the potential Fed’s rate path.

GBP/USD remains well bid around 1.3650

GBP/USD maintains its upside momentum in place, hovering around daily highs near 1.3650 and setting aside part of the recent three-day drop. Cable’s improved sentiment comes on the back of the Greenback’s irresolute price action, while recent hawkish comments from the BoE’s Pill also collaborate with the uptick.

Gold clings to gains just above $5,000/oz

Gold is reclaiming part of the ground lost on Wednesday’s marked decline, as bargain-hunters keep piling up and lifting prices past the key $5,000 per troy ounce. The precious metal’s move higher is also underpinned by the slight pullback in the US Dollar and declining US Treasury yields across the curve.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP in choppy price action, weighed down by falling institutional interest

Bitcoin's upside remains largely constrained amid weak technicals and declining institutional interest. Ethereum trades sideways above $1,900 support with the upside capped below $2,000 amid ETF outflows.

Week ahead – Data blitz, Fed Minutes and RBNZ decision in the spotlight

US GDP and PCE inflation are main highlights, plus the Fed minutes. UK and Japan have busy calendars too with focus on CPI. Flash PMIs for February will also be doing the rounds. RBNZ meets, is unlikely to follow RBA’s hawkish path.

Ripple Price Forecast: XRP potential bottom could be in sight

Ripple edges up above the intraday low of $1.35 at the time of writing on Friday amid mixed price actions across the crypto market. The remittance token failed to hold support at $1.40 the previous day, reflecting risk-off sentiment amid a decline in retail and institutional sentiment.
