Monday 28 November 2022
Some USD supply returning this morning with equities and oil both looking softer again as the reality of recession and China COVID fall-out including local protests now, play out again but with gold making its mind up still. Geopolitical risk in Ukraine still lurking too.
Remember that conjecture and second-guessing should stand to one side on data and news releases. Focus on the price action and let the algos do the heavy lifting/dropping. The important thing is to identify your preferred risk/reward entry/exit levels prior.
GBPUSD: A good hold of 1.2025-30 and now posting 1.2115 amid the USD supply. I remain bearish overall and poised to re=sell. EURGBP: Finding good support at 0.8580-85 still in the dips and now back up testing previous support (and now pivotal) line at 0.8630-35. I expect the two-way business to continue as jury remains out on both currencies and outlook. GBPJPY: A good cap at 168.75 and now testing 166.30-50 amid the fragile risk JPY demand and USD supply which has seen USDJPY looking wobbly again.
EURUSD: A decent hold at 1.0350 this time and now testing 1.0450 as I type amid the softer USD tone and general EUR demand. Some decent-size option interest in play. USDJPY: The downward trend seems to be returning and a now a good cap at 139.50 sees 137.60 posted amid the USD supply/JPY risk-off demand double whammy.Rally-sell remains my preferred side overall. EURJPY: Capping at 144.50 and in solid retreat to 143.00 this morning before bouncing on some general EUR demand. Expect more two-way business. USDCHF: 0.9500 providing strong resistance now amid the softer USD tones and CHF demand overall but 0.9400 holding so far. SNB ever-vigilant. EURCHF: A hold below 0.9800 and now on the bounce to look at 0.9850-60 again amid the firmer EUR tones outweighing CHF demand for the moment and we continue to range.
AUDUSD: Holding 0.6660 this time after a fall from 0.6780 amid the ongoing/escalting China COVID concerns and potential RBA hike slowing.I remain a rally seller as my preferred side/strategy. GBPAUD trading 1.7950-1.8100 for the moment as core pairs make their mind up. NZDUSD supported at 0.6200 now but capping at 0.6260-80. USDCAD: Capping at 1.3475 after a good hold and rally from 1.3360 amid the softer oil prices but tempered by the USD supply.
