USD strength returns post-interest rates, forex trading on Gold falling to support [Video]

After the Republican win in the US elections last week, we saw USD strength.

That was followed by weakness after the lowering of Interest Rates.

What next?

Well, after the lowering of Interest Rates, USD continued stronger.

We can see price action on the EURUSD chart as EUR is the weakest currency.

Price action reversed after the Interest rate decision with this hanging man candlestick pattern and a turn of the stochastic oscillator from overbought.

We have to move to the weekly chart to see that we are at a level of support from April and an oversold stochastic oscillator.

We had even more dramatic movements with AUDUSD but we are close to recent support.

The weekly chart on AUDUSD tells a bearish story as well with price action at the lower trend line and at least one technical signal.

We see a similar story on GBPUSD and I encourage you to check all the USD pairs.

Gold as well, had similar price action.

While we are looking at weekly charts, WTI is close to the magical level of support of $66.

Apparently, this bearish move was caused by a selloff based on negative sentiment of Donald Trump’s foreign policies.

That’s all for now.

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.
