EUR/USD Is Holding Balance

By Dmitriy Gurkovskiy, Chief Analyst at RoboForex

EUR/USD is looking quite stable; it is rising a little bit early in the fourth September week. All significant drivers have been published, so what investors have to do right now is to analyze them correctly and draw the right conclusions.

So, the information that is already known: the US Federal Reserve cut the key rate down to 1.75%-2.00%, but did it very carefully without any unnecessary comments for investors. The regulator placed specific emphasis on the fact that it wasn’t going to bow to the White House and would continue implementing the current monetary policy instead.

For the American Dollar, the signals that the Fed isn’t going to be aggressive in cutting its rates are surely positive.

Another thing that supports the USD this morning is the resumption of trade talks between the USA and China. Last Thursday, the parties already met and tried to resume the dialog, but barely had any progress in talks, which is widely expected by financial markets.

As we can see in the H4 chart, EURUSD has failed to fix above none of these levels: 1.1080, 1.1040, and 1.1020. Right now, the pair continues trading downwards. Possibly, the price may reach 1.0986 and then grow towards 1.1000. After that, the instrument may form a new descending structure towards 1.0965 and then start another growth to reach 1.1040, thus continuing its consolidation inside a wide range and forming Triangle pattern around 1.1040. If the market breaks this pattern to the downside, the downtrend may continue. From the technical point of view, this scenario is confirmed by MACD Oscillator: its signal line has broken 0 downwards and right now is steadily moving to the downside, thus confirming further downtrend.

In the H1 chart, EUR/USD is consolidating around 1.1030. Possibly, the pair may form one more descending structure to reach 1.0985 and then resume growing towards 1.1040. Later, the market may continue trading inside the downtrend with the target at 1.0965. From the technical point of view, this scenario is confirmed by Stochastic Oscillator: its signal line is moving directly downwards. After breaking 50 to the downside, the indicator may boost the downtrend.

Signs point to a bullish breakout coming in the DAX30 CFD

By Admiral Markets

Source: Economic Events September 23, 2019 – Admiral Markets’ Forex Calendar

As the economic calendar, particularly in Europe, is quite thin this week, our focus will be on the technical side in the DAX30 CFD.

On an hourly chart, we consider the mode to be neutral and range-bound between 12,300 and 12,500 points. But, given the sequence of higher highs and lows, there’s a clear bullish touch.

Given the recent price action, we consider a significant and sustainable break above 12,500 points to be only a matter of time, levelling the path up to the current yearly highs around 12,650 points in the German index.

We project a technical target to be around 12,700 points, given the 200 point range between 12,300 and 12,500.

Only a break below 12,300 points would darken the bullish outlook, switch the mode to neutral, and activate the region around 12,180 points as a first potential target on the downside.

After the Fed: Gold bulls lie in wait, 1,440/50 of interest

By Admiral Markets

Source: Economic Events September 20, 2019 – Admiral Markets’ Forex Calendar

While Gold didn’t take on further bullish momentum after the Fed rate decision on Wednesday, instead stabilised below 1,500 USD, our middle-term bullish outlook stays intact.

With a thin economic calendar into the weekly close, we want to look at the Fed and its decision, and how that could affect the price action in Gold in the days to come.

So, after the Fed cut rates as expected by 25 basis points to 1.75 – 2%, the deeper cut of overnight reverse repos by 0.3% to 1.7% to alleviate funding pressures in short-term lending markets at the beginning of this week, potentially pointing to first signs of a credit crunch, financial stress and a favourable environment for Gold in general. Comments from Fed chairman Powell, stating during his press conference on Wednesday that the Fed may resume organic balance sheet growth earlier than expected (to put it differently: bringing a relaunch of QE on the table, at least between the lines) will rather sooner than later result in attention among Gold bulls.

While Gold didn’t take the bait immediately, we still see the overall advantage in Gold on the upside, technically as long as we trade above 1,380 USD.

In fact, we consider the drop below 1,500 USD not at big deal at all, instead see a potential mid-term long trigger around 1,440/450 USD with an overall potential target around 1,650/700 USD in the weeks to come staying active:
