Trading Long GBP/CAD, Nasdaq (US100) in ascending triangle – Brent crude at key Fibonacci level [Video]

Have you seen this Bullish Channel on the NASDAQ (US100)? 

I’m Brad Alexander and in this week’s Market Blast Technicals let’s take a look at EURGBP, GBPCAD, Brent Crude (UK Oil), and the NASDAQ (US100).

Yesterday we looked at a bearish bias in the fundamentals on Crude Oil.

This has been turned upside down by rumours from China about the possible forming of a committee to look at the COVID lockdowns…maybe.

Again, these are only social media rumours so we will watch the news.

We see that price action on Brent Crude is at the 61.8% Fibonacci level of resistance and the Stochastic Oscillator is heading into the oversold zone.

If the rumours are false, we could see a reversal to the downside quite quickly.

These rumours also caused a rally in global stock markets and we see the NASDAQ was no exception.

The uptrend, which started mid-month sees price action forming an Ascending Triangle with a key level of resistance at about 11600.

If price action breaks this level we could see a continuation of this Bullish Channel.

Yesterday, as well, we looked at a possible long position on GBPCAD and we see that the Chinese rumours have created some strength in CAD.

This has driven price action into the lower trend line and we see the Stochastic Oscillator in a very oversold state.

Speaking of Pound Sterling, we see price action on EURGBP at the upper trend line in this bearish trend.

Also, the Stochastic Oscillator is overbought and it may cross over soon.

However, that was the short-term view.

If we zoom out to the daily chart, we see the formation of a falling wedge and the Stochastic Oscillator here is very oversold and the D and K lines have crossed over.

EUR/USD steadies near 1.1750 ahead of final Eurozone CPI amid fading USD recovery

The EUR/USD pair steadies around the 1.1750 area during the Asian session on Wednesday, and for now, seems to have stalled the previous day's sharp retracement slide from the highest level since September 24. Meanwhile, the fundamental backdrop remains tilted in favor of bullish traders and suggests that the path of least resistance for spot prices remains to the upside.

GBP/USD gains ground above 1.3400 on UK PMI optimism

The GBP/USD pair gains momentum to around 1.3425 during the early Asian session on Wednesday. The Pound Sterling edges higher against the Greenback on the upbeat UK preliminary S&P Global Purchasing Managers' Index data. Traders will take more cues from the Fedspeak later on Wednesday. 

Gold extends the range play around $4,300

Gold edges higher during the Asian session on Wednesday, though it remains confined in a multi-day-old trading range. Dovish Fed-inspired bearish sentiment surrounding the US Dollar, along with the risk-off mood, acts as a tailwind for the safe-haven bullion. However, hopes for a Russia-Ukraine peace deal hold back the XAU/USD bulls from placing aggressive bets. Traders also seem reluctant ahead of the crucial US consumer inflation figures on Thursday.

XRP dips as bearish pressure persists despite ETF growth

Ripple is finding footing above $1.90 at the time of writing on Tuesday after a bearish wave swept across the broader cryptocurrency market, building on persistent negative sentiment.

Ukraine-Russia in the spotlight once again

Since the start of the week, gold’s price has moved lower, but has yet to erase the gains made last week. In today’s report we intend to focus on the newest round of peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, whilst noting the release of the US Employment data later on day and end our report with an update in regards to the tensions brewing in Venezuela.

BNB Price Forecast: BNB slips below $855 as bearish on-chain signals and momentum indicators turn negative
