EURUSD Analysis: Price is Forming a Rebound from the Support of 1.085 From the high of the year, set on July 18 near the level of 1.125, the price of EUR/USD fell in 1 month to the support of 1.085 (-3.4%). Today, the EUR/USD chart shows that the market is forming a rebound from this support, which has been in place since mid-June. What will be the further development? Bullish arguments: → The market is in an uptrend (indicated by the blue channel) in 2023 and its lower boundary, which forms a powerful block of support at the level of 1.085, can help the bounce develop into a meaningful swing. → Support may come from SMA (100). Bearish arguments: → The higher the price of EUR/USD rises, the closer the level of 1.095 becomes, which acted as support; but after the pin bar on August 10, the level was broken, and now resistance can be expected from it. If this is indeed the case, the market will form a weak bounce from the block of supports in the 1.085 area — a threatening sign for the current ascending channel.

Gold Price Updates Minimum of the Year against the Background of Rising Yields of US Govt Bonds Treasury yields are rising, especially for long-term periods. For example, the yield on 10-year bonds today is 4.28%, and a month ago it was 3.88%, a year ago, 3.02%. Barron's writes that yields may continue to rise amid sustained inflation. Rising US government bond yields are attracting investors who are diversifying their portfolios by moving capital away from the gold and equity markets, which is having a bearish effect on them. So, according to information from MarketWatch, August could be the worst month in 2023 for the S&P 500 index precisely because of rising bond yields. And according to Bloomberg, at the end of last week, the assets of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) investing in gold approached the level of 2.8 thousand tons, having updated the minimum since March 30, 2020. Today, as the chart shows, the price of gold has updated the minimum of the year. Bearish arguments: → The price dynamics is developing within the bearish channel, which has been in effect since May. → The price has consolidated below the psychological level of 1900 dollars per ounce, from which we can now expect resistance to the price increase. Bullish arguments: → The market is oversold, as evidenced by the daily RSI indicator. Therefore, the probability of a bullish correction increases. This week, the BRICS summit and the Jackson Hole conference will take place, the news from which can have a significant impact on the price of gold. VIEW FULL ANALYSIS VISIT - FXOpen Blog...

BTC/USD price analysis: The Price of Bitcoin Collapses by about 8% in One Day This morning the BTC/USD price is near 26,500, the lowest price since mid-June. What is the reason for this? Among the drivers of the decline may be information that Elon Musk's SpaceX company intends to sell (or has already sold) USD 373 million worth of bitcoins. However, the collapse could have been influenced more by technical than by fundamental factors. On August 8, we wrote that the ADX indicator fell to a minimum since the beginning of the year — that is, the market was in a protracted flat. It was a vulnerable position for the birth of a new impulse. Note that the USD 30K psychological level acted as resistance in August — the price was not able to stay higher for long. It was logical to assume that the bears would try to take the initiative. And it happened this week — notice the widening bearish candles on August 15-16 as we approach the 28,800 support. The decline triggered a cascade of stop-losses (more than USD 1 billion worth of positions on cryptocurrency exchanges were liquidated), which intensified the selling wave.

XRP/USD Price Rolls Back to Important Support July was marked by the end of the trial between the SEC regulator and Ripple Labs in favor of the latter, which led to a sharp increase in the XRP token to a price above USD 0.9, but then a rollback followed after the first emotional reaction. By the way, the trial is not completed yet. As it became known, the SEC intends to appeal the court's decision. Bearish arguments: → The price of the XRP token may fall after the SEC formally files an appeal. → The price of the XRP token has rolled back by more than 2/3 from the July rapid growth — this is too deep a size for a normal correction.

GBP/USD Analysis: The Pound Trying to Grow on News from Labor Market On Tuesday morning data from the UK market were published: → base wage rose at a record pace in the second quarter. It was 7.8% higher than a year earlier, representing the highest annual growth rate since 2001. → at the same time, the number of unemployed also increased. In July, 29k applications for unemployment benefits were submitted (expected - 19.2). The first reaction of the pound is growth. It is possible that market participants have increased fears that wage growth will give the Bank of England more grounds for a sharper increase in interest rates. At the same time, the bullish momentum faded quickly, in line with the bearish momentum that has dominated the GBP/USD market since mid-July (as shown by the black line) amid the formation of the SHS pattern. However, the situation may change. VIEW FULL ANALYSIS VISIT - FXOpen Blog... Disclaimer: This article represents the opinion of the Companies operating under the FXOpen brand only.

USDJPY Analysis: Rate Reaches Max of the Year The uptrend in 2023 is due to the difference in the monetary policy of the Bank of Japan and the US Federal Reserve. As the chart shows, USD/JPY hit 145.22 yen per US dollar today. The last time such a rate was relevant was in November 2022 after foreign exchange interventions (marked with arrows). Since the USD/JPY rate has again reached the level of 145 yen per US dollar, which is important for the Japanese authorities, traders expect official warnings regarding interventions, but there are none yet. Reuters reports the words of Joey Chu, head of Asian currency research at HSBC: "We believe that the Treasury will start moving in the 145-148 range." Bullish arguments: → The ability of the exchange rate to recover from a sharp fall in early July indicates the strength of demand in the market. → The chart shows that the rate has not yet reached the upper limit of the ascending channel. → B→C retracement after A→B advance was less than 50%. → Central bank monetary policy differentials are unlikely to change any time soon. Bearish arguments: → Presumably, traders may take profits from long positions, fearing currency interventions, which will slow down the current bullish trend. → This morning there was a false breakdown of June-July highs to force sellers to close positions and lure buyers in the wrong direction.

LTC/USD Analysis: Litecoin Price Declines after Halving On Wednesday, August 2, the planned halving took place in the Litecoin network. Now the reward of miners for each mined block has decreased by 2 times from 12.5 LTC to 6.25 LTC. Theoretically, this should make the cryptocurrency more scarce. On the eve of the halving, experts were bullish. Thus, financier David Cox voiced a forecast about a possible increase in LTC to USD 189.2. Analyst Michaël van de Poppe provided a bolder upside scenario to USD 200. Also positive statements were made by the creator of the Litecoin project Charlie Lee. However, in fact, we see that the LTC/USD rate fell after the halving. VIEW FULL ANALYSIS VISIT - FXOpen Blog...

XAU/USD Price Analysis: Bears Approach Important Support Yesterday, fresh values of the CPI index were published, which testified to a moderate slowdown in inflation in the US. The actual value was 3.2% in annual terms (expected 3.3%, a month earlier = 3.0%, a year earlier = 9.1%). In reaction to the news, the price of gold fell from a daily high around USD 1,930 an ounce to renew the August low. Such behavior can be interpreted as a decrease in the value of the precious metal, as it loses its relevance as a protective asset against inflation. Earlier we wrote that August began for the gold market in a bearish way. The trend continues. Technical analysis of the XAU/USD chart on the 4-hour timeframe shows that: → the price develops dynamics within the descending channel, which has been operating since May of this year; → yesterday there was a test of resistance at the level of USD 1,930, which served as support in early August. This is a bearish sign; → the price of gold is approaching an important support at the psychological level of USD 1,900 per ounce; → a series of lower highs is formed on the chart; → the RSI indicator rose from the oversold zone, forming a bullish divergence pattern.

EURJPY Analysis: Highest Since Fall 2008 Yen Weakening Drivers: → rising prices for energy resources. After all, Japan is a major importer. → The inflation index CGPI (corporate goods price index) indicates a slowdown in inflation. Therefore, this raises the likelihood that the Bank of Japan will maintain an ultra-loose monetary policy. The growth of the euro against the yen is facilitated by the fact that the ECB is pursuing a tough policy. Market participants expect that another rate increase could be made in autumn. The EUR/JPY chart shows that the rate is in an uptrend. The market recovered quickly from the sharp decline on July 27, a testament to the strength of demand. Another piece of evidence is the amount of B→C retracement after A→B rises. It was only about 30% of the momentum. VIEW FULL ANALYSIS VISIT - FXOpen Blog...

XNGUSD: Natural Gas Price Hits 5-month High The hostilities in Ukraine have drastically changed the world's natural gas transportation routes, and yesterday's information about possible interruptions in the supply of liquefied gas from Australia due to the planned strikes of workers led to the fact that the XNG/USD quote jumped above the psychological level of USD 3.0. Citigroup analysts believe that gas prices in Europe could double by January if strikes in Australia, which is an important supplier of liquefied gas to Europe and Asia, drag on through the autumn. And the FT writes that yesterday's growth was accelerated due to the fact that traders closed short positions, thereby increasing demand. The XNG price chart shows that the extremes of summer are forming an ascending channel, and its upper limit has not yet been reached. The ability of the bulls to gain a foothold above the psychological level of USD 3.0 will indicate the strength of demand. VIEW FULL ANALYSIS VISIT - FXOpen Blog...

The Price of Brent Oil Approaching the Highs of the Year The price is driven up by: → the policy of limiting oil production by OPEC+ countries. For example, Saudi Arabia last week announced a cut in production by 1 million barrels per day until the end of September, adding that the decision could be extended. Russia is also reducing production volumes. We wrote about the scenario of increasing growth in the price of Brent oil due to production cuts in a post dated July 7; → hopes/rumors that the Chinese authorities will stimulate the economy, which is not recovering enough after the lifting of COVID-related restrictions. Selling pressure is driven by: → raising rates by Western central banks to fight high inflation. Under the influence of these and other factors, the price of Brent oil rose close to the highs of the year around USD 87 per barrel, forming an upward channel. At the same time, in August, the price bounced strongly from its lower border twice, indicating the strength of demand. On the other hand, the progress of the bulls in the formation of the August high is very small, if you compare this peak with the previous one, set on the 2nd of August — a sign of the exhaustion of the bullish momentum. It is reasonable to assume that the market can find a balance at current levels, and the price will enter the consolidation range, as holders of long positions can take profits after the increase in the price of Brent oil by more than 14% since July 1. At the same time, false breakdowns of the high of the year are not ruled out. VIEW FULL ANALYSIS VISIT - FXOpen Blog...

BTC/USD Price Analysis: ADX Indicator Falls to the Lowest Level of 2023 The latest news from the world of cryptocurrencies could be both bearish and bullish drivers: → PayPal launches a stablecoin that will be pegged to the dollar and backed by US Treasuries; → Cathie Wood believes that the SEC can approve several BTC ETFs at the same time; → the Central Bank of Brazil plans to launch its digital currency called DREX in 2024; → rumors about problems with the USDC stablecoin are spreading in the network; → the US Department of Justice is considering filing fraud charges against Binance. However, the BTC/USD rate has stabilized around USD 29,000 per coin since July 25th. The bitcoin market is showing unusually low volatility (except for the surge associated with news from the Fed). At the same time, the ADX indicator, which helps determine the presence of a trend, fell to its lowest level since 2023. Obviously, this indicates that the market is flat. But note the trend that followed in early 2023 as the ADX fell close to its current low. VIEW FULL ANALYSIS VISIT - FXOpen Blog...
