Thursday 5th November: Technical Outlook and Review
Wednesday exhibited choppy behaviour, with traders clearly undecided right now as ballot counting continues in the US. DXY ended modestly positive around 93.50. Following an aggressive push to the 1.16 neighbourhood, EUR/USD staged an equally aggressive pullback to above the 1.17 handle, currently trading unchanged on the day.

Tuesday 3rd November: Technical Outlook Ahead of the US Elections
Cable opened on the backfoot Monday, pressured amidst a second lockdown across England. In addition to the US dollar index reclaiming territory above 94.00, GBP/USD ran stops beneath the 1.29 handle and appeared to gather additional bearish flow from October’s opening value on the H4 scale at 1.2925.
Monday 2nd November: Weekly Technical Outlook and Review Heading into The US Elections
Europe’s single currency subsided nearly 2% against a broadly stronger US dollar last week, side-lining hopes of reaching the 2018 yearly opening value at 1.2004. In the shape of a near-full-bodied bearish candle, price dramatically engulfed previous gains and closed within striking distance of support at 1.1621.

Thursday 29th October: Technical Outlook and Review
Risk aversion dominated market movement in recent trading, despite the safe-haven buck trading off best levels. EUR/USD sailed through the 1.18 level on the H4 timeframe, with enough force to take on August’s opening value at 1.1771 and test October’s opening value from 1.1730.
Wednesday 28th October: Technical Outlook and Review
Weighed by broad USD softness and US Treasury yields connecting with weekly lows, USD/JPY extended Monday’s 105 test on Tuesday, and consequently saw price cross swords with a familiar H4 Fibonacci support zone (161.8% Fibonacci projection point at 104.37 and 78.6% Fibonacci retracement ratio at 104.45).

Monday 26th October: Weekly Technical Outlook and Review
Since unseating trend line resistance (mid-July), taken from the high 1.2555, EUR/USD has mostly outlined an upside bias. Buyers, however, as you can see, reduced speed after shaking hands with the 2018 yearly opening value at 1.2004 late August, enough to force a 1.1621 support retest (clearly interpreted by many as a dip-buying signal).
