AUD/USD: Australian currency updates local lows 11.02.2022

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

NPBFX offers the latest release of analytics on AUD/USD for a better understanding of the current market situation and more efficient trading.

Current trend

The Australian dollar is developing a strong "bearish" momentum in tandem with the US currency, testing the level of 0.7120 for a breakdown and updating local lows from February 8.

In addition to technical correction factors at the end of the week, the downtrend was facilitated by strong macroeconomic statistics on inflation in the US, published the day before. The data showed a further acceleration in domestic consumer inflation to 7.5%, which is likely to require the US Federal Reserve to tighten monetary policy sooner during 2022. The start of the interest rate hike cycle is expected in March, when the quantitative easing (QE) program comes to an end.

The focus of investors today will also be on the Fed Monetary Policy Report and data on Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index for February.

Support and resistance

In the D1 chart, Bollinger Bands are reversing horizontally. The price range is almost unchanged, but it remains rather spacious for the current level of activity in the market. MACD is reversing downwards preserving the previous weak buy signal (located above the signal line). Stochastic, having rebounded from the level of "80" is declining, signaling in favor of the development of correctional dynamics in the ultra-short term.

Current showings of the indicators do not contradict the further development of the "bearish" trend in the short term.

Resistance levels: 0.7160, 0.7200, 0.7250, 0.7300.
Support levels: 0.7100, 0.7050, 0.7000, 0.6950.

Trading tips

To open new short positions, one can rely on the breakdown of 0.7100 with the target at 0.7000. Stop-loss — 0.7150. Implementation time: 1-2 days.

A rebound from 0.7100 as from support followed by a breakout of 0.7160 may become a signal for opening new long positions with the target at 0.7250. Stop-loss – 0.7100.

USD/CAD: interest rate hike risks support the US dollar 14.02.2022

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

NPBFX offers the latest release of analytics on USD/CAD for a better understanding of the current market situation and more efficient trading.

Current trend

The US dollar shows ambiguous dynamics of trading against the Canadian currency during today's Asian session, holding near 1.2730.

The instrument managed to demonstrate a moderate positive trend at the end of last week, which was supported by expectations of a further increase in the interest rate by the US Fed against the backdrop of a sharp rise in inflation in the country by 7.5%, which is the highest level since February 1982. Analysts' forecasts assumed an increase of only 7.3% and at the end of December 2021, inflation in the country grew by only 7.0%.

The Canadian dollar, in turn, is still under pressure from a weak report on the labor market, released at the beginning of the month, and expects new drivers for possible growth. On Wednesday, Canada will release a block of macroeconomic statistics on the dynamics of consumer prices in January. On the same day, Timothy Lane, the member of the Board of Governors of the Bank of Canada, will make a speech.

Support and resistance

Bollinger Bands in D1 chart show weak growth. The price range is actively narrowing, pointing at the ambiguous nature of trading in the short term. MACD is growing preserving a weak buy signal (located above the signal line). Stochastic grows more steadily but is rapidly approaching its highs, which reflects risks of the overbought USD in the ultra-short term.

Resistance levels: 1.2750, 1.2786, 1.2812, 1.2850.
Support levels: 1.2700, 1.2650, 1.2600, 1.2558.

Trading tips

To open long positions, one can rely on the breakout of 1.2750 with the target at 1.2850. Stop-loss – 1.2700. Implementation time: 2-3 days.

A rebound from 1.2750 as from resistance, followed by a breakdown of 1.2700 may become a signal for new sales with the target at 1.2600. Stop-loss – 1.2750.

GBP/USD: development of flat dynamics in the short term 16.02.2022

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

NPBFX offers the latest release of analytics on GBP/USD for a better understanding of the current market situation and more efficient trading.

Current trend

The British pound has shown a poor upward trend against the US currency during the morning session, holding near the level of 1.3550. Since the beginning of the month, it has been developing a generally flat dynamic in the short term. The instrument reacted insignificantly due to the improvement in the geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe after there were signs of a resolution of the tense situation solely from the standpoint of diplomacy.

Yesterday, the market focused on macroeconomic statistics from the UK. Thus, the indicator of average wages for December, excluding bonuses, slightly corrected from 3.8% to 3.7%, which is better than market forecasts of 3.6%. In turn, wages, taking into account bonuses for the same period, increased from 4.2% to 4.3%, contrary to analysts' expectations of a slowdown to 3.9%. Jobless claims fell by 31.9K for January after falling by 51.6K last month, while the unemployment rate for December was unchanged at 4.1%.

Support and resistance

Bollinger Bands show a moderate increase on the daily chart: the price range narrows, indicating an ambiguous nature of trading in the short term. MACD falls, keeping a poor sell signal and below the signal line. Stochastic shows similar dynamics and rapidly approaches its lows, indicating that GBP may become oversold in the ultra-short term.

Resistance levels: 1.3565, 1.3600, 1.3650, 1.3700.
Support levels: 1.3500, 1.3460, 1.3435, 1.3400.

Trading tips

Long positions may be opened after the breakout of 1.3565 with the target at 1.3650. Stop loss – 1.3510. Implementation period: 2–3 days.

Short positions may be opened after the breakdown of 1.3500 with the target at 1.3400. Stop loss – 1.3550.

AUD/USD: the pair is preparing to end the week with strong growth 18.02.2022

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

NPBFX offers the latest release of analytics on AUD/USD for a better understanding of the current market situation and more efficient trading.

Current trend

During the Asian session, the AUD/USD pair has been trading near local highs of February 10, testing the level of 0.7200 for a breakout.

Significant support for the instrument is provided by rather poor macroeconomic signals that have been coming to the market from the US in recent days. In particular, yesterday, investors drew attention to the growth in Initial Jobless Claims: the figure for the week of February 11 rose from 225K to 248K, which was noticeably worse than market expectations for a decrease to 219K. At the same time, Continuous Jobless Claims for the week of February 4 still decreased from 1.619M to 1.593M, ahead of forecasts of 1.605M. An additional negative moment was the decline in the index of business activity in the manufacturing sector of the Philadelphia Fed in February from 23.2 to 16.0 points, while investors expected a decline to only 20.0 points.

Support and resistance

On the daily chart, Bollinger Bands actively grow. The price range changes slightly, limiting the pace of development of "bullish" dynamics in the short term. MACD grows, keeping a relatively strong buy signal (the histogram is above the signal line), and tries to consolidate above the zero line. Stochastic shows similar dynamics but indicates that the instrument may become overbought in the nearest time intervals.

Resistance levels: 0.7200, 0.7250, 0.7300, 0.7328.
Support levels: 0.7160, 0.7100, 0.7050, 0.7000.

Trading tips

Long positions may be opened after the breakout of 0.7250 with the target at 0.7350. Stop loss – 0.7200.

Short positions may be opened after the breakdown of 0.7160 with the target at 0.7050. Stop loss – 0.7210.

USD/JPY: consolidating around 115.00 21.02.2022

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

NPBFX offers the latest release of analytics on USD/JPY for a better understanding of the current market situation and more efficient trading.

Current trend

The US dollar shows mixed dynamics against the Japanese yen in Asian trading, consolidating near the psychological level of 115.00.

Last week, the US currency showed a moderate decline, but the situation remained ambiguous, and traders unsuccessfully tried to assess the risks of deterioration in the geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe. After some improvement, the situation on the borders of Ukraine becomes tense again, which led to a surge in demand for safe assets. So far, the parties adhere exclusively to diplomatic lines of solving the problem; however, the media are full of various negative scenarios.

On Monday, pressure on the yen is also exerted by weak macroeconomic statistics from Japan. Jibun Bank Manufacturing PMI in February showed a steady decline from 55.4 to 52.9 points, which turned out to be worse than the average forecasts. Today is a public holiday in the US, so business activity statistics will only start appearing on Tuesday.

Support and resistance

On the D1 chart Bollinger Bands are trying to reverse horisontally. The price range is narrowing, pointing at the ambiguous nature of trading in the short term. MACD is going down preserving a moderate sell signal (located below the signal line). Stochastic keeps a confident downward direction but is already approaching its lows, which indicates the risks of oversold USD in the ultra-short term.

Existing short positions should be kept until technical indicators are clarified.

Resistance levels: 115.28, 115.67, 116.00, 116.34.
Support levels: 115.00, 114.50, 114.00, 113.50.

Trading tips

To open short positions, one can rely on the breakdown of 114.50 with the target at 113.50. Stop-loss – 115.00. Implementation time: 2-3 days.

The return of the "bullish" trend to the market with the breakout of 115.28 may become a signal for new purchases with the target of 116.00. Stop-loss – 114.90.

Brent Crude Oil: the uptrend is possible 23.02.2022

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

NPBFX offers the latest release of analytics on Brent Crude Oil for a better understanding of the current market situation and more efficient trading.

Current trend

Prices for "black gold" continue to grow rapidly against the backdrop of the geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe. The day before, Brent Crude Oil quotes rose above 96.50, but by the end of the session corrected to 93.75 (Murray [7/8]).

In general, the situation on the market remains tense: investors fear interruptions in the supply of Russian oil and gas to the market in the event of active hostilities on the borders with Ukraine, which is intensified due to the actions of the German authorities, who suspended the certification of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline the day before. Experts believe that Russia will continue to fulfill its obligations under gas contracts, but will not increase the volume of supplies if necessary, not wanting to increase transportation through Ukrainian territory.

The prerequisites for further growth in energy prices on the market remain, although the increase in quotations is somewhat restrained by the possibility of concluding an American-Iranian "nuclear deal". In this case, Iran will be able to bring additional volumes of cheaper oil to the market, but in the current situation, even they are unlikely to be able to fully meet the growing demand.

Support and resistance

The price continues to be in an uptrend, the target of which may be at 100.00. The key level for the "bears" seems to be at 91.00 (the center line of Bollinger Bands), the breakdown of which will give the prospect of a corrective decline to 87.50 (Murray [6/8], the lower line of Bollinger Bands). However, this variant of the movement seems less likely, since the technical indicators indicate continued uptrend: Bollinger Bands and Stochastic reverse upwards, and MACD is stable in the positive zone.

Resistance levels: 95.00, 100.00, 106.25.
Support levels: 91.00, 87.50, 81.25.

Trading tips

Long positions may be opened above 95.00 with target at 100.00 and stop-loss at 92.00. Implementation period: 5-7 days.

Short positions may be opened from 91.00 with target at 87.50 and stop-loss at 93.80.

USD/CHF: the US dollar is losing ground gained yesterday 25.02.2022

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

NPBFX offers the latest release of analytics on USD/CHF for a better understanding of the current market situation and more efficient trading.

Current trend

During the Asian session, the USD/CHF pair is actively declining, correcting after yesterday's sharp growth, which led to a renewal of local highs of February 10.

The reason for the sharp rise in the US currency was the escalation of the conflict in Ukraine, as investors try to avoid risk and invest their capital in shelter assets. Russian President Vladimir Putin authorized a special military operation in the Donbas, which immediately resonated in the markets – investors began to abandon risky assets in favor of shelter assets massively. Strong macroeconomic statistics from the US provided additional support for the US currency on Thursday. Thus, annual data on GDP dynamics for the fourth quarter of 2021 reflected the expected economic growth of 7.0%. At the same time, the GDP price index accelerated from 7.0% to 7.2% over the same period, ahead of forecasts of 6.9%.

On Friday, traders focus on a block of macroeconomic statistics from the US on the dynamics of orders for durable goods and personal income and expenses of American households for January.

Support and resistance

On the daily chart, Bollinger bands reverse into a horizontal plane. The price range consolidated within a fairly wide range, fully consistent with the observed trading dynamics. MACD reversed upwards, forming a new buy signal (the histogram is above the signal line). Stochastic demonstrates similar dynamics, signaling further development of the upward dynamics in the nearest time intervals.

Resistance levels: 0.9250, 0.9276, 0.9300, 0.9341.
Support levels: 0.9220, 0.9200, 0.9175, 0.9157.

Trading tips

Short positions may be opened after the breakdown of 0.9220 with the target at 0.9157. Stop loss – 0.9250. Implementation period: 1–2 days.

Long positions may be opened after the rebound from 0.9220 and the breakout of 0.9250 with the target at 0.9300. Stop loss – 0.9220.

USD/CAD: US dollar wins back losses 04.03.2022

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

NPBFX offers the latest release of analytics on USD/CAD for a better understanding of the current market situation and more efficient trading.

Current trend

During the Asian session, the USD/CAD pair is growing uncertainly, developing the “bullish” momentum formed yesterday, when the instrument was trading near local lows since January 26.

Investors are in no hurry to open long positions on the US currency, preferring to wait for today's publication of the final report on the labor market for February, hoping to receive additional confirmation of the possibility of raising interest rates during the March meeting of the US Federal Reserve. Given the aggravation of the situation around Ukraine, it is likely that the regulator may change its original plans. Some concern is caused by the US statistics on business activity published in recent days, which reflects the rapid decline in sentiment, especially in the service sector.

The Canadian currency is supported by the actions of the Bank of Canada. On Wednesday, the regulator expectedly raised interest rates by 25 basis points to 0.5%. Yesterday, the head of department, Tiff Macklem, stressed that the Board of Governors of the bank expects further tightening of monetary policy as the national economy grows, while the previous target levels remain unchanged.

Support and resistance

On the daily chart, Bollinger bands reverse a horizontal plane: the price range slightly expands from below, trying to keep with the surge in trading activity in the middle of the week. MACD indicator tries to reverse upwards, keeping its previous sell signal (the histogram is below the signal line). Stochastic shows similar dynamics, retreating slightly from its lows, signaling that the US dollar is oversold in the ultra-short term.

Resistance levels: 1.2700, 1.2750, 1.2786, 1.2812.
Support levels: 1.2650, 1.2600, 1.2558, 1.2500.

Trading tips

Long positions may be opened after the breakout of 1.2700 with the target at 1.2812. Stop loss – 1.2650. Implementation period: 2–3 days.

Short positions may be opened after the rebound from 1.2700 and the breakdown of 1.2650 with the target at 1.2558. Stop loss – 1.2700.

AUD/USD: the pair renews the highs of November 2021 07.03.2022

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

NPBFX offers the latest release of analytics on AUD/USD for a better understanding of the current market situation and more efficient trading.

Current trend

The Australian dollar shows active growth against the US currency at the trading in Asia, updating local highs from November 4. AUD/USD has been developing a confident "bullish" momentum for the fourth session in a row, despite the fact that the US dollar also remains quite strong due to continued demand for safe assets.

On Friday, a strong report on the labor market for February was published, which supported the position of the dollar "bulls" at the end of the week. According to statistics, Nonfarm Payrolls increased by 678K after an increase of 481K in January, while the forecasts assumed a figure of 400K. At the same time, the Unemployment Rate fell from 4% to 3.8%, which also turned out to be better than market expectations at 3.9%. However, the Average Hourly Earnings in February showed only zero dynamics, contrary to forecasts of growth of 0.5%. In annual terms, the indicator slowed down from 5.5% to 5.1%, with expectations of an increase of 5.8%.

The rhetoric of the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) remains "dovish". Representatives of the regulator noted that they would focus on data on the Consumer Price Index for Q1 2022, which will be released in late April, before making a decision on adjusting the interest rate. Meanwhile, investors are looking forward to the March meeting of the US Federal Reserve and the start of a cycle of changes in monetary policy parameters, announced by the head of the US department, Jerome Powell. Last week, he confirmed the readiness of the regulator to increase the rate by 25 basis points.

Support and resistance

Bollinger Bands in D1 chart show active growth. The price range is expanding but it fails to conform to the surge of "bullish" sentiments at the moment. MACD grows, preserving a stable buy signal (located above the signal line). Stochastic, having reached its highs, reversed into a horizontal plane, indicating overbought AUD in the ultra-short term.

Resistance levels: 0.7440, 0.7500, 0.7550, 0.7600.
Support levels: 0.7369, 0.7328, 0.7300, 0.7250.

Trading tips

To open long positions, one can rely on the breakout of 0.7440 with the target at 0.7550. Stop loss – 0.7390. Implementation time: 1-2 days.

A rebound from 0.7440 as from resistance, followed by a breakdown of 0.7369 may become a signal for new sales with the target at 0.7250. Stop-loss – 0.7440.

Hewlett-Packard Co.: technical analysis 09.03.2022

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

NPBFX offers the latest release of analytics on Hewlett-Packard Co. for a better understanding of the current market situation and more efficient trading.

The stocks of Hewlett-Packard Co., the US IT giant, are correcting around 35.62.

An uptrend is developing on the global chart of the asset, at the top of which a local downtrend is formed. Now the rate is trying to break the initial correction of 23.6% Fibonacci around 34.00, which coincides with the support line of the global uptrend. The consolidation below it allows three scenarios of the trend development. The first and most likely scenario reaches the 38.2% Fibonacci base retracement level at 30.80. The next variant of the price movement assumes reaching an intermediate correction of 50.0% by Fibonacci around 28.20. The final scenario is a fully formed correction with a full retracement of 61.8% at 25.50.

After breaking the support line at 34.00, sell positions with the target at the maximum level of 25.50 are relevant. Stop loss — 37.00. Implementation period: 7 days or more.

After growth and consolidation above the local maximum of 36.80, buy positions with the targets at the highs of the year at 40.00 and stop loss 34.00 are relevant.

EUR/USD: the euro is testing 1.0900 14.03.2022

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

NPBFX offers the latest release of analytics on EUR/USD for a better understanding of the current market situation and more efficient trading.

Current trend

The European currency shows mixed dynamics of trading against the US dollar during the Asian session, consolidating near 1.0900 in anticipation of new movement drivers.

EUR/USD ended last week's trading with an active two-day decline, which almost completely leveled the instrument's attempt to grow on Tuesday and Wednesday. Significant support for the euro was provided by the rhetoric of the European Central Bank (ECB), which announced the curtailment of the quantitative easing (QE) program sooner than expected. Asset purchases will be slowed down from 40 billion euros in April to 30 billion euros in May and to 20 billion euros in June, although earlier it was planned to gradually reduce from 40 billion euros to 20 billion euros by October. The "hawkish" rhetoric of European officials means that before the end of the year, the regulator will be able to get additional space to start a full-fledged tightening of monetary policy through an increase in interest rates, which will remain at current values until inflation reaches the target value of 2%.

In turn, pressure on the euro continues as the conflict escalates in Ukraine, where Russian troops continue to conduct a special military operation. Western countries are introducing more and more new sanctions against businesses and individuals. US authorities have already banned the import of oil, gas and other energy products from Russia, and Europe, in turn, being more dependent on Russian exports, is likely to act gradually. The European Commission has already presented a project for an accelerated phase-out of Russian energy carriers, under which the EU's need for gas from Russia will be reduced by two-thirds by the end of 2022. At the moment, the EU imports 90% of "blue fuel", about 45% of which is supplied by the Russian Federation.

Support and resistance

Bollinger Bands in D1 chart demonstrate active decrease. The price range is narrowing, reflecting the emergence of ambiguous dynamics of trading in the short term. MACD is declining keeping a weak sell signal (located below the signal line). Stochastic shows more confident negative dynamics, but at the moment it is rapidly approaching its low, indicating the risks of EUR being oversold in the ultra-short term.

Resistance levels: 1.0957, 1.1000, 1.1054, 1.1100.
Support levels: 1.0900, 1.0860, 1.0800, 1.0767.

Trading tips

To open new short positions, one can rely on the breakdown of 1.0900 with the target at 1.0800. Stop-loss – 1.0957. Implementation time: 1-2 days.

A rebound from 1.0900 as from support followed by a breakout of 1.0957 may become a signal for new purchases with the target at 1.1100. Stop-loss – 1.0900.

GBP/USD: the pound is attempting a corrective growth 16.03.2022

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

NPBFX offers the latest release of analytics on GBP/USD for a better understanding of the current market situation and more efficient trading.

Current trend

The British pound traded higher against the US currency during the morning session, building on the upside signal generated the day before when GBP/USD again tried to retreat from its record lows since November 2020.

The pound is supported by an optimistic macroeconomic background from the UK, which was supplemented yesterday by strong data on the labor market. The ILO Unemployment Rate in January showed a decrease from 4.1% to 3.9%, which was better than analysts' forecasts of 4%, and the Claimant Count in February fell by 48.1 thousand after a decrease of 31.9 thousand a month earlier. Average Earnings excluding Bonus in January accelerated from 3.7% to 3.8% 3MoY. Including bonus, the indicator showed an increase of 4.8%, which also turned out to be better than market expectations at the level of 4.6%.

The positive dynamics of indicators allow traders to assume that tomorrow, when the Bank of England meets, the interest rate will be raised for the third time in a row to 0.75%. The "hawkish" rhetoric of the regulator's Governor Andrew Bailey or a 50 basis point correction could stabilize the pound at its current low levels and allow quotations to move higher. The US Federal Reserve is meeting today, and current market forecasts also suggest a tightening of monetary policy and a 25 basis point hike in rates.

Support and resistance

Bollinger Bands in D1 chart demonstrate a stable decrease. The price range is narrowing, reflecting ambiguous nature of trading in the short/ultra-short term. MACD indicator reverses to growth while forming a new buy signal (the histogram is about to consolidate above the signal line). Stochastic is showing similar dynamics, retreating from its lows, indicating the oversold GBP in the ultra-short term.

Resistance levels: 1.3100, 1.3150, 1.3200, 1.3250.
Support levels: 1.3000, 1.2960, 1.2900, 1.2850.

Trading tips

To open long positions, one can rely on the breakout of 1.3100 with the target at 1.3200. Stop-loss — 1.3050. Implementation time: 1-2 days.

The breakdown of 1.3000 may serve as a signal to new sales with the target at 1.2900. Stop-loss — 1.3050.

GBP/USD: Bank of England raises interest rate to 0.75% 18.03.2022

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

NPBFX offers the latest release of analytics on GBP/USD for a better understanding of the current market situation and more efficient trading.

Current trend

During the Asian session, the GBP/USD pair is trading ambiguously, consolidating near 1.3150. The pound is expecting new drivers, but at the end of the week, the macroeconomic calendar is relatively empty, so the news from Eastern Europe will remain the main driving force on the market.

Yesterday, the instrument renewed the daily low, dropping to the 1.3100 area after the Bank of England meeting minutes were published. The British regulator expectedly raised the interest rate for the third time since December this year, bringing it to 0.75%. The decision was not unanimous as to the deputy head of the regulator, Jon Cunliffe, advocated maintaining the current levels of the rate, noting a strong imbalance in supply and demand against the backdrop of a sharp increase in commodities after the start of a special military operation of Russian troops in Ukraine. The Bank of England expects domestic and global inflation to continue to rise and accelerate significantly over the next few months, while growth in energy-importing economies, including the United Kingdom, is likely to slow down. If a peace treaty between Russian and Ukrainian representatives is not signed in the coming weeks, sanctions against the Russian economy can be expected to negatively impact the process of restoring supply chains that were disrupted during the COVID-19 epidemic.

The Bank of England downgraded its inflation forecasts, noting that consumer price growth could reach 8% for April, which is one percent higher than previous estimates. Thus, the decision of the British financial authorities to change the interest rate parameter returns the cost of borrowing in the UK to the levels observed before the coronavirus pandemic.

Support and resistance

On the daily chart, Bollinger Bands are steadily declining. The price range is actively narrowing, reflecting the emergence of multidirectional trading dynamics in the short term. The MACD indicator grows, keeping a strong buy signal (the histogram is above the signal line). Stochastic shows similar dynamics. However, it is quickly approaching its highs, which signals that GBP may become overbought in the ultra-short term.

Resistance levels: 1.3200, 1.3250, 1.3300, 1.3350.
Support levels: 1.3100, 1.3050, 1.3000, 1.2960.

Trading tips

Long positions may be opened after the breakout of 1.3200 with the target at 1.3300. Stop loss – 1.3150. Implementation period: 1–2 days.

Short positions may be opened after the breakdown of 1.3100 with the target at 1.3000. Stop loss – 1.3150.

Brent Crude Oil: oil prices have returned to growth 21.03.2022

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

NPBFX offers the latest release of analytics on Brent Crude Oil for a better understanding of the current market situation and more efficient trading.

Current trend

Brent Crude Oil prices are actively growing, trying to consolidate above 109 dollars per barrel.

The quotes returned to positive dynamics at the end of last week after renewing local lows on February 25 in response to a further deterioration in the situation around Ukraine. Russian troops have been carrying out a special military operation since the end of February, resulting in unprecedented sanctions pressure from Western countries. Thus, the US authorities earlier announced that they were refusing to import Russian energy carriers, but Europe, due to the close connection of energy systems, could not fully support such a ban since it is 40% dependent on Russian gas supplies. Nevertheless, several European countries intend to minimize supplies until the end of this year. In particular, the authorities of the Baltic countries insist on the introduction of a complete ban, but Germany refuses to support the embargo. Analysts do not rule out that Europe will also try to lobby for a complete ban on Russian energy imports, but the position of France, which currently chairs the European Union, may play a key role here.

The situation in the Middle East also remains alarming, where Saudi Arabia reports new attacks by the Yemeni Houthis on oil facilities. Finally, experts are concerned about the surge in the incidence of COVID-19 in China, which is one of the main consumers of oil and petroleum products in the world. The country's authorities adhere to a zero-tolerance policy against the coronavirus. Therefore, they introduce large-scale restrictions in response to even isolated cases of infection.

Support and resistance

On the daily chart, Bollinger bands are moving in a flat: the price range changes slightly, remaining quite spacious for the current level of activity in the market. The MACD indicator reverses towards growth, forming a new buy signal (the histogram is trying to settle above the signal line). Stochastic is showing more active growth and is already reaching its highs , indicating that the instrument may become overbought in the ultra-short term.

Resistance levels: 112.00, 115.50, 118.32, 121.00.
Support levels: 108.18, 105.00, 102.80, 100.00.

Trading tips

Long positions may be opened after the breakout of 112.00 with the targets at 118.32–121.00. Stop loss – 108.18. Implementation period: 2–3 days.

Short positions may be opened after the rebound from 112.00 and the breakdown of 108.18 with the target at 100.00. Stop loss – 112.00.

GBP/USD: the pound is updating local highs 23.03.2022

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

NPBFX offers the latest release of analytics on GBP/USD for a better understanding of the current market situation and more efficient trading.

Current trend

The British pound is trading with the uptrend against the US currency during the morning session, updating local highs from March 4.

Eurozone countries found themselves in a vulnerable position due to the developing crisis around Ukraine. The European authorities are preparing a new package of sanctions against the Russian economy, which may include significant restrictions or even a complete embargo on energy imports. This will lead to explosive inflation in commodity markets and call into question the ability to ensure energy security. Undoubtedly, high oil and gas prices will have an extremely negative impact on the UK economy, but London today is much less dependent on imports from the Russian Federation, and therefore joined the embargo initiated by the United States earlier.

The pound is also supported by a rather active position of the Bank of England. Last week, the British regulator raised the rate by 25 basis points for the third time in a row to 0.75%. In turn, the US Federal Reserve, which launched a rate hike cycle last week, is gradually tightening its rhetoric, while the stance of the European Central Bank (ECB) remains neutral for now. In addition, the UK recorded an increase in key financial indicators ahead of the publication of data on the Consumer Price Index. It is expected that in annual terms, the figure will be 5.9%, which is much higher than the previous value of 5.5%. Positive dynamics could become a catalyst for the Bank of England and possibly provoke another increase in interest rates. Also the Retail Price Index and the Budget Report will be published during the day.

Support and resistance

On the D1 chart, Bollinger Bands are gradually reversing to the ascending plane. The price range is expanding; however, it fails to catch the "bullish" activity of the day before. MACD grows, preserving a stable buy signal (located above the signal line). Stochastic, having approached its highs is reversing into a horizontal plane, indicating the overbought GBP in the ultra-short term.

Resistance levels: 1.3300, 1.3350, 1.3435, 1.3500.
Support levels: 1.3250, 1.3200, 1.3100, 1.3050.

Trading tips

To open long positions, one can rely on the breakout of 1.3300 with the target at 1.3435. Stop-loss – 1.3230. Implementation time: 2-3 days.

A rebound from 1.3300 as from resistance followed by a breakdown of 1.3250 may become a signal for new sales with the target at 1.3100. Stop-loss – 1.3320.

EUR/USD: euro recovers at the end of the week 25.03.2022

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

NPBFX offers the latest release of analytics on EUR/USD for a better understanding of the current market situation and more efficient trading.

Current trend

The European currency shows moderate growth against the US dollar during the Asian session, recovering from the predominantly "bearish" trading dynamics of recent days. EUR/USD is trading slightly above the average Monday levels and is preparing to end the week with almost zero results.

The focus of the market is on the EU summit in Brussels, which is expected to continue the discussion of new packages of sanctions against the Russian economy today. In addition, the details of the implementation of the EU plan to phase out energy from the Russian Federation may be considered. The day before the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen said that the EU is preparing such a plan with a possible date of 2027. The EU is also considering the possibility of centralized purchases of gas and other resources, which, according to von der Leyen, should have a positive impact on price stability.

Moderate support for the euro is provided by yesterday's optimistic macroeconomic statistics from Europe. Markit Manufacturing PMI in Germany in March declined from 58.4 to 57.6 points, which was better than market forecasts at the level of 55.8 points. The services sector also contracted less than expected: from 55.8 to 55 points, while the forecast was for a fall to 53.8 points. Markit PMI Composite in the euro area fell from 55.5 to 54.5 points, ahead of analysts' expectations at the level of 53.9 points.

Support and resistance

In the D1 chart, Bollinger Bands are reversing horizontally. The price range is almost constant, remaining rather spacious for the current level of activity in the market. MACD indicator is growing keeping a weak buy signal (located above the signal line). Stochastic is showing similar dynamics while reversing upwards in the middle of its area.

Resistance levels: 1.1051, 1.1100, 1.1150, 1.1185.
Support levels: 1.1000, 1.0957, 1.0900, 1.0860.

Trading tips

To open long positions, one can rely on the breakout of 1.1051 with the target at 1.1150. Stop-loss — 1.1000. Implementation time: 1-2 days.

The rebound from 1.1051 as from resistance with the subsequent breakdown of 1.1000 can become a signal to new sales with target at 1.0900. Stop-loss – 1.1051.
