Market Update 8/25 – Fade the USD Drop Soon?

ByJamie Saettele

EURUSD DAILY

Today’s update is brief as markets await Jackson Hole.  The USD drop off of the high (squeeze off of the low in most everything else) is nearing support.  I’m looking to buy the USD dip slightly lower.  Notably, EURUSD 1.1800 is the 50 day average and 8/13 high.  Bears need to step up there in order to keep 1.1600 on track.

USDSEK 4 HOUR

Long time readers know that I look to USDSEK as a bellwether of sorts for the USD.  The structure that originates at the January low is extremely useful in this regard.  The median line has been precise resistance…in June, July, and August.  The 25 line and parallel that extends off of the 7/30 low form a proposed support zone at 8.64-8.6650.  I’m on the lookout for a hold in this zone.

AUDUSD DAILY

Broadly speaking, AUDUSD downside remains favored until .7000/50…and .7290-.7315 remains proposed resistance.  Nothing has changed!

8/17 – AUDUSD finally broke down.  Is this move ‘for real’ or a ‘trap’.  It’s impossible to know at the moment.  I can make arguments for both.  The next critical downside level isn’t until .7000/50 but volume on futures was high today which warns of capitulation (see futures chart below with red and blue bars denoting high volume levels at at least 50 day highs/lows).  Bottom line, proposed resistance is .7290-.7315 and I’m bearish as long as that zone is respected.

This article isn’t about why we onboarded cTrader as a platform. This article is about what we got, and the fact it was much more than we had expected. By exceeding expectations, I don’t mean that we exceeded our KPIs because to cTrader (it’s still too early to tell). We got more than we had expected because we viewed cTrader mostly as an object.

After Friday’s action, the extent of today’s USD drop was a surprise. Additional EURUSD downside is possible though if price reverses right now, which is the 200 hour average, upper parallel of the short term bearish fork, 75 line within the channel from the March low, and VWAP from the June high (see below). Bottom line, the current level is important so let’s see what happens here before determining strategy.

Market Update 8/31 – Pivot Low in the USD?

ByJamie Saettele

USDOLLAR spiked lower on the last day of the month but recovered to finish the day virtually unchanged. Price is RIGHT at 11950. In fact, today’s low was one tick above the April high (former resistance is now support) and just above the 50 day average too. My view is that the USD is still in an uptrend. The question is whether or not the dip within the uptrend is complete. Today’s action (long lower wick into a well-defined level) is a good way to make the next pivot low. Also, 4 hour RSI continues to bottom above 30 (see below). Remember, this is characteristic of a ‘bullish RSI profile’.
