General analysis AUDUSD for 22.06.2022

Current dynamics


The AUD / USD pair is still subjected to selling pressures, as it witnessed a strong decline in the beginning of today's trading.The decline came to continue the Australian dollar losing its gains last week, which came after the Reserve Bank of Australia announced an interest rate hike.  

In addition to the weak investor appetite for risk, some may attribute the main reason for the increase in the demand for the dollar to the optimistic view by investors that the US Federal Reserve will stick to its tightening policy, raising interest rates at a faster pace to combat high inflation following the statements of the Fed members. 
US Federal Reserve member Thomas Barkin said that the Fed should raise interest rates as quickly as possible without breaking anything. We expect that message to be delivered again today when Powell delivers his semi-annual testimony before the Senate. 
Also Christopher Waller, a member of the US Federal Reserve, added that he supports another increase in interest rates by 75 basis points at the central bank meeting in July if economic data emerges as he expects. 
On the other hand, the US dollar index rose 0.4% at 104.83, coinciding with a limited decline in the yield on US Treasuries, which are trading near their highest levels in 11 years, as the yield on 10-year Treasuries reached 3.23%, and US home sales fell increased by 3.4% to 5.41 million in May 2022, the lowest level since June 2020.
Looking ahead and the scarcity of economic data on the Australian side, market investors' eyes will now turn to Fed Chairman Jerome Powell's semi-annual testimony before the Senate Banking Committee, scheduled for later during the North American session, in addition to his testimony on Thursday before the Joint Economic Committee in Washington. Support and resistance levels

On the 4 hour chart, the instrument is holding onto the moving downside of the Bollinger Bands. The indicator is directed downward and the price range has widened, indicating that the current trend is about to continue. The momentum chart is below the 100 level, which is giving buy signals. The Envelopes indicator gives clear sell signals.

✔️ Support levels: 0.69075, 0.68525, 0.68000.
✔️ Resistance levels:0.69600, 0.70100, 0.70700.

General analysis USD/CHF for 24.06.2022

Current Dynamics


The USD/CHF pair opened lower at the beginning of todays trading session. The pair lost all of its gains in the second half of yesterdays session, continuing the bearish performance from mid-June.

The pairs losses came after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powells statements yesterday, Thursday, during his statement before the US Senate Banking Committee, regarding the possibility of the economy being exposed to a recession during his effort to suppress inflation.

Where Powell stated that the central bank is not trying to create an environment that pushes towards a recession, but it is certainly possible, given the recent global events, especially the Russian-Ukraine war and the Covid-19 pandemic, which made it more difficult to hold down inflation without side effects. He added that the major goal for them is to achieve a safe drop in inflation rates, but the path to this goal has many challenges, and that the Central Bank is committed to controlling inflation and has the tools to achieve this goal. As Fed Member Michael Bowman added on Thursday, she supports a 75 basis point rate hike in July followed by 50 basis point increases in the next few meetings.

On the other hand, US unemployment data was released and recorded 229 thousand unemployment claims, while experts expected to receive 227 thousand unemployment claims, and the previous reading recorded 231 thousand unemployment claims, and the manufacturing purchasing managers index returned to the lowest level in two years, about 52.4 points during this June, less than expected growth by 56.0 points, and the previous reading declared 57.0 points last May. The preliminary reading of the Services Purchasing Managers Index also showed a negative reading of 51.6 points, less than the market expectations that announced the index’s growth by 53.5 points during the same period, and the previous reading recorded a growth of 53.4 points during last May.

In addition, S&P 500 futures declined 0.30% while US 10-year Treasury yields remained unchanged at around 3.09% after dropping to a two-week low the previous day.

Looking at the most important events affecting the pair, investors attention will be directed to the US macroeconomic data represented in new home sales for the month of May, as well as the Michigan consumer confidence index.

Support and resistance levels.

On the 4 hour chart, the instrument is holding onto the moving downside of the Bollinger Bands. The indicator is directed downward and the price range has widened, indicating that the current trend is about to continue. The momentum chart is below the 100 level, which is giving buy signals. The Envelopes indicator gives clear sell signals.

✔️ Resistance levels: 0.96375, 0.96775, 1.0650, 0.97325.

✔️ Long positions can be opened above the level of 0.95900 with a target of 0.96375 and a stop-loss at the level of 0.95550. Implementation period: 1-2 days.

General analysis USDJPY for 27.06.2022

Current Dynamics


Growth in manufacturing activity in Japan slowed in June. Sales at Japanese department stores increased for the third month in a row. Political parties in Japan are focusing on raising wages for citizens in their pre-election campaigns. IMF supports the U.S. Federal Reserve's decision to increase the benchmark interest rate up to 3.5-4%
Growth in manufacturing activity in Japan slowed in June. It is worth noting that overall new orders declined for the first time in nine months because of increasing pressure on already disrupted supply chains, while output is growing at its slowest pace in 3 months.
At the same time, department store sales in Japan have increased for the third month in a row. Sales are up 57.8% compared to 2021. Consumer demand for luxury goods such as precious metals and jewelry has revived along with high demand for summer clothing. However, sales were lower on 10.5 % compared to three years ago.
Meanwhile, within the framework of pre-election race political parties in Japan put measures aimed to raise the minimum wage, as well as tax benefits at the forefront of their campaigns.
It is also worth noting that Japan's first central government has issued a warning about energy shortages. Japanese government asks citizens to make efforts to save electricity, especially from 15 to 18 hours.
Meanwhile, the International Monetary Fund supports the U.S. Federal Reserve's policy of raising the benchmark interest rate to 3.5-4% to fight high inflation.  The Fund forecasts U.S. GDP will reach 1.7% this year and 0.8% in 2023. According to the Fund, the inflation will reach 5.4% at the end of this year and in 2023 it will be around 2%.  It also follows from the IMF statement that the USA has less and less chance to avoid recession. It should be reminded that the inflation rate in the USA is now fixed on the level of 8.6%.
A weak yen makes Japanese industry a more attractive place to invest, but further weakening could severely lower the purchasing power of the Japanese. At the same time, the US will continue to tighten its monetary policy but it could lead to a recession and further manufacturing shutdowns.
 
Today at 07:00(GMT+2) will be released Japan Leading Index MoM, Japan Leading Index MoM, Japan Coincident Indicator MoM later in the day at 14:30(GMT+2) will be released U.S. Core Durable Goods Orders MoM and at 16:00 (GMT+2) will be released U.S. Pending Home Sales MoM.

General analysis EURUSD for 28.06.2022

Current Dynamics


The EUR/USD is heading down from two-week highs to a support level at 1.05800

The EUR/USD failed to break through the resistance level around 1.06000 amid fears of economic recession and upward trends in Eurozone inflation indicators, and at the moment the pair is declining in correction, trading in flat at the nearest support level, formed over the last two weeks around 1.05800.

The latest rise in the pair was caused by the bulls positive expectations for the further growth in quotations because of the ambiguous macroeconomic data on the USA along with the coming hypothetical increase in the key rate by the European Central Bank.

On the European side, the reason for the pair to enter the correction, most likely, is the factor of the geopolitical tension caused by the armed conflict in Ukraine. Thus, the rhetoric of the Russian Federation representatives in response to the announcement of the technical default and prohibition of the transit of critical economic resources by the Lithuanian government causes a natural pressure in Western Europe. Among other things, it is much more difficult for European countries in the current situation to cope with disruptions in production supply chains than it is for the United States.

On the greenback side the reasons for the current trend are the following positive data that came out yesterday and pleased the bulls on the US dollar: The volume of durable goods orders for May rose much stronger than expected - 0.7% against the expected 0.1% and the previous 0.4%. A similarly strong data release was also seen in the Pending Home Sales Index for May, also 0.7%, but this time the gap with the expected number was even bigger (-3.7% vs. -4.0% for the previous month). However, this is just local good news for the North American economy as the stock market continues its decline and Treasury yields continue to rise.

The macroeconomic news, is to be published soon and which may affect further movements of the pair, are the speeches of ECB Chairman Lagarde and ECB representatives Lane, Elderson and Panetta. On the US side is the Consumer Confidence Index for June. The above data will be released later today.

Support and resistance levels.

Alligator is hungry: its mouth is wide open, its jaw (blue line) is low under the lips and teeth (green and red lines), the instrument is in an uptrend. The nearest fractal above the alligators teeth (red line) is at 1.05970. Awesome Oscillator (AO) and Accelerator Oscillator (AC) are both in the green area, the bars are close to the zero level, which is a strong confirmatory buy signal.

✔️ Support levels: 1.04950, 1.05300, 1.05550

✔️ Resistance levels: 1.05970, 1.06310, 1.06770

Trading scenarios

✔️ Short positions can be opened from the level of 1.05550 with a target of 1.05300 and a stop loss of 1.05750: Implementation period: 1-3 days
✔️ Long positions can be opened from the level of 1.05970 with a target of 1.06310 and stop-loss of 1.05750: Implementation period: 1-3 days

General analysis USDCAD for 29.06.2022

Current dynamics


The USD/CAD pair witnessed a decline at the beginning of today's trading session. This is after a slight correction that the pair had witnessed in the second half of its session on Tuesday. After a two-day downtrend, during which it recorded its lowest level in two weeks at 1,28190.

Some may attribute the Canadian dollar's recent gains were supported by bullish crude oil prices, as Canada is the largest oil producer in the US, but US data, as well as geopolitical and trade talks, supported bullish hopes for the dollar.Rising fears of a recession put additional pressure on market sentiment and supported demand for the safe haven US dollar.

Despite this, Federal Reserve member James Bullard played down the possibility of a recession in the United States, and Bullard added that the process of reducing inflation could be painful but the FOMC must continue to raise interest rates to prevent inflation expectations from becoming more entrenched.

And as US Federal Reserve member John Williams stressed on Tuesday that he expects the US economy to avoid a recession, although he sees the need for the US Federal Reserve to raise interest rates more to control inflation.

On the other hand, the data of the Consumer Confidence Index issued on Tuesday by the Conference Board showed negative index data during the current June, as the data showed that the index recorded about 98.7 points, declining less than the expectations of the markets, which were about 100.0 points, and also less than the previous reading, which recorded 103.2 point during May.

Data published by the US Census Bureau on Tuesday revealed that the US international trade deficit narrowed by $2.4 billion to $104.3 billion in May from $106.7 billion in April. The data showed that exports of goods for the month of May amounted to 176.6 billion dollars, an increase of 2.0 billion dollars over April exports. Merchandise imports for the month of May amounted to $280.9 billion, down $0.4 billion from April's imports.

Looking at the most important events affecting the pair, besides Fed Chair Powell's speech, investors' focus will also remain on US core personal spending data for the first quarter of 2022, which is expected to remain unchanged at 5.1%. Along with the final readings for the first quarter GDP, which is likely to confirm an annual contraction of 1.5%.

Support and resistance levels

On the 4 hour chart, the instrument is testing a consolidation at the moving average of the Bollinger Bands. The indicator is directed downward and the price range is narrowing, indicating that the current trend is about to change. The momentum chart is below the 100 level, which is giving buy signals. The Envelopes indicator gives sell signals.

✔️ Support levels: 1.28425, 1.27850, 1.27175.
✔️ Resistance levels: 1.29075, 1.29725, 1.30450.

Trading scenarios

✔️ Short positions should be opened at 1.28425 with a target of 1.27850 and a stop loss at 1.28840. Implementation period: 1-3 days.
✔️ Long positions can be opened above the level of 1.29075 with a target of 1.29725 and a stop-loss at the level of 1.28425. Implementation period: 1-3 days.

General analysis USDCHF for 30.06.2022

Current dynamics


The USD/CHF pair managed to achieve some gains during today's trading session. Thus, the pair stopped losses that lasted for more than two weeks, taking advantage of the previous day's recovery from its lowest level since April.

The dollar's recent gains were supported by Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's statements during the European Central Conference, despite the release of weak economic data. Where Powell confirmed, that the economy is still maintaining its strength and is still coherent, while stressing the strength of the labor market in the United States of America, and that it is still able to absorb the developments of the current economic situation.He reiterated bets on tighter policy tightening to combat high inflation and underlined the Fed's ability to succeed in bringing inflation down to the 2% target while maintaining a strong employment pace.

In addition to the statements of the Fed members that the central bank will raise interest rates by 75 basis points at the next July meeting.

On the other hand, US macroeconomic data revealed that the final reading of the gross domestic product recorded a contraction in the first quarter of 1.6%, exceeding expectations of recording a contraction of 1.5%.

The stock markets on Wall Street witnessed a strong fall, as the Dow Jones index fell today, Thursday, in the pre-trading period of 1.2%, and the Nasdaq fell by 2%, while the Standard & Poor's 500 index fell in the range of 1.5%.

Where some may see, that the state of risk aversion on the part of investors as a result of the increase in recession fears and the rapid continuation of raising interest rates, as illustrated by the daily losses of US stocks, should serve as a tailwind for the dollar as a safe haven.

Key events in the US macroeconomics this week: PCE, Core PCE, Personal Income, Personal Spending Thursday, along with the manufacturing ism, the final manufacturing PMI tomorrow Friday.

Support and resistance levels

On the 4 hour chart, the instrument is testing a consolidation above the Bollinger Bands moving average. The indicator is directed sideways and the price range is narrowing, indicating that the current trend is about to change.The momentum chart is below the 100 level, which is giving buy signals. The Envelopes indicator gives sell signals.

✔️ Support levels: 0.95275, 0.94650, 0.94000.
✔️ Resistance levels: 0.95800, 0.96325, 0.96950.

Trading scenarios

✔️ Long positions should be opened at the 0,95800 with a target of 0.96325 and a stop loss at 0.95275. Implementation period: 1-2 days.
✔️ Short positions can be opened above the level of 0.95275 with a target of 0.94650 and a stop-loss at the level of 0,95800. Implementation period: 1-2 days.

General analysis GBPUSD for 01.07.2022

Current dynamics


GBP/USD fluctuates around 1.21500 amid UK VAT rate debate and US macro news

GBP/USD after a week long decline failed to reach 1.22000 during yesterdays correction and the downtrend might continue in the near term, as a possible cut of the VAT rate might not be good for the GBPs price dynamics.

At the moment there is no decision to cut the VAT rate in the UK, and it seems that discussions on that prospect have not had a significant impact on the behavior of traders on the pair. According to Steve Barclay (Chief of Staff to the Prime Minister of Great Britain), cutting the VAT rate is likely to have a positive effect on the economic growth, to stimulate business activity and ease the burden on ordinary citizens and to reduce the risk of a general economic downturn.

Fresh data on the British GDP also did not provoke any sharp price movements on the pair in the market, as they matched the expectations of the growth rate of 0.8% in the last reporting quarter and of 8.7% for the year.

On the US side, the biggest impact on the pair was made by the news on consumer spending cuts and an unexpectedly large increase in inflation.

Thus, the increase in consumer spending in May was 0.2% against 0.8% in April. Spending on services then increased by 0.7%, household spending on goods fell by 3.2%, energy prices increased by 35.8% and food prices by 11%. The growth of basic consumer prices in May also showed a decline of 0.2% over the month, amounting to 4.7%. Such situation, along with the Feds raising the key rate, creates the real preconditions for the economic recession. Analysts also forecast GDP decline in the next quarter.

Inflation in the U.S. is at its highest point in the past forty years, thus in May the annual inflation rate was 8.6%. According to the Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, the Reserve System specialists in this situation of increased unpredictability are beginning to realize that they understand the inflation mechanisms not so well as they would like to. The Fed hopes that inflation has now reached its maximum levels, but they do not exclude its further growth. In any case, we should not expect any easing of monetary policy in the near future.

Among the important macroeconomic news that might affect the price movement of GBP/USD pair in the nearest future we should mention the manufacturing activity index (PMI) for Great Britain and the manufacturing activity index (PMI) from ISM for the United States in June, which will be released later today.

Support and resistance levels

General analysis NZDUSD for 04.07.2022

Current dynamics


The NZD/USD pair started the week positively. To continue the positive performance that ended last week’s trading session, after it fell to its lowest level in two years in the first half of Friday’s trading session.

The pair fell to its lowest level in two years as the risks of a recession intensified on Friday. A wave of risk aversion took clues from the downbeat US PMI, as well as fears of an economic recession. However, it appears that the cessation of optimistic bets on the Fed's next move may be the reason for the recent rebound in the pair in addition to the US holiday today.

Speaking of data, the US manufacturing PMI for June fell to its lowest level in two years, to 53.0 vs. 54.9 expected and 56.1 previously. Details indicate that the employment index fell to 47.3 from 49.6 and the new orders index fell to 49.2 from 55.1. Finally, the Price Paid Index dropped to 78.5 from 82.2, against market expectations of 81.0 It should be noted that the final readings of the S&P Global Manufacturing PMI for June fell to the lowest level since July 2020, to 52.7 versus the flash estimate of 52.4 and 57 in May.

After the data, ANZ Bank said data cleared from both the US ISM and PMIs indicated faltering demand growth, lower business backlogs, and lower production over the summer. It is difficult to escape growing pessimism about growth, which is also fueling expectations of a peak in both inflation and central bank hawks.

Given the significant events for the pair this week, the light schedule and the US holiday may constrain the pair ahead of the FOMC meeting minutes and US jobs report for June.

Support and resistance levels

On the 4-hour chart, the tool is testing a consolidation above the Bollinger Bands moving average. The indicator is directed downward and the price range is narrowing, indicating that the current trend is about to change, and the momentum chart is below the 100 level, which gives buy signals. The Envelopes indicator gives sell signals.

✔️ Support levels: 0.61850, 0.61500, 0.61150.
✔️ Resistance levels: 0.62125, 0.62450, 0.62900, 0.63500.

Trading scenarios

✔️ Long positions should be opened at the 0.62125 with a target of 0.62450 and a stop loss at 0.61850. Implementation period: 1-2 days.
✔️ Short positions can be opened at the level of 0.61850 with a target of 0.61500 and a stop-loss at the level of 0.62125. Implementation period: 1-2 days.

General analysis USDCHF for 07.07.2022

Current dynamics


The USD/CHF pair opened today's trading session with a decline. The pair witnessed positive performance in the last five consecutive sessions. After the pair reached its lowest level since April in last week's session.

The dollar's recent gains came as a result of investors' demand for the dollar as a safe haven, after increasing indications of economic stagnation as a result of central banks' policies to contain inflation.

The minutes of the Federal Reserve meeting showed that the members of the Central Bank agreed on the need to continue raising interest rates in order to combat inflation and prevent it from continuing even in the event of a recession in the economy. US central bank officials acknowledged the possibility of raising interest rates to slow economic growth, but they stressed the need to contain inflation and reduce it towards the target by 2%.

Meanwhile, Kristalina Georgieva, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, said that the global economic outlook has become significantly bleak since the last economic update. And she added: A possible global recession in 2023 cannot be ruled out.

The US macroeconomic data showed, the US ISM Services PMI for June fell to 55.3 from 55.9 in May. However, the actual number came in better than market expectations of 54.5. ِAlso the US JOLTS Job Opening for May declined to 11.25 million versus 11.00 million expected and 11.68 million prior.

General analysis Brent for 08.07.2022

Current Dynamics


A U.S. presidential aide went to Saudi Arabia for preparations for a visit of Biden. Saudi Arabia began selling certain export oil grades with a discount in order to compete with Russian oil. Iraq increased its oil exports in June 2022. The Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) operations were temporarily stopped for 30. China reported an increase in cases of COVID-19 which led to the return of restrictions on the movement of people in 11 cities.
White House Middle East Coordinator Brett McGurk went to Saudi Arabia to prepare a visit for U.S. President Joe Biden to the kingdom. It is worth noting that the themes of the visit will be preparations for a summit with the leaders of several countries in the Middle East, and also issues of entrainment of Saudi Arabia's oil production, and normalization of relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel.
Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia began to sell some export grades of oil with a discount in order to compete with the Russian oil. Those are Arab Heavy and Arab Medium grades, which are chemically closer to Urals, than the main Arab Light grade. However, Arab Light prices for August delivery, on the contrary, were increased. It is worth noting that Iran and Venezuela, which are under sanctions, will also dig their heavy oil grades with discount.
Iraq's Oil Ministry reported that Iraq exported in June 2022 oil of 101.191 million barrels or 3.373 million bpd, which is 2.21% more than the daily figures in May. So Iran's oil revenue for the month was $11.505 billion at an average price of $113.7 per barrel.
Meanwhile, the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) was temporarily stopped for 30 days. This pipeline connected Kazakh fields with Novorossiysk port, from where oil was shipped to tankers bound for Southern Europe and the United States. Last year, the CPC amounted to about 1.2mn bpd. About a third of this volume may be shipped via alternative routes, while the remaining 0.8 mln bpd may temporarily leave the market.
Meanwhile, China has reported an increase in COVID-19 cases, which led to the return of restrictions on the movement of people in 11 cities. In total, these regions together make up about 15% of the Celestial Empire's GDP.
Thus, a possible recession in the U.S. and Europe along with possible lockdowns in China put pressure on oil markets. However, the continuing shortage of heavy oil in the world, combined with the impossibility of quickly increasing oil production support markets. It should be recalled that oil sold from strategic oil sparsity will be delivered to customers until September, which also has some impact on the quotes.

U.S. Baker Hughes Total Rig Count and U.S. Baker Hughes Oil Rig Count will be released today at 19:00 (GMT+2).

General analysis NZDUSD for 12.07.2022

Current dynamics


The NZD/USD pair is still under pressure at the beginning of today's trading session. Yesterday, the pair witnessed a negative performance, during which the pair recorded its lowest level in two years at 0.60957.

The NZD pair's recent weakness may be related to market fears of recession and a cautious mood ahead of Wednesday's monetary policy decision from the Reserve Bank of New Zealand.In addition to the market's conviction that the US central bank will maintain its tight policy to combat stubbornly high inflation. The bets were confirmed by the minutes of the Federal Open Market Committee meeting released last Wednesday, along with the strong US employment data, which was published on Friday.

The latest US macroeconomic data indicated that the US Non-Farm Payrolls rose by 372K for the month of June, vs. the 268K expected and revised lower by 384K previously.In addition, the unemployment rate matched market expectations at a level of 3.6%. The report notes that annual wage inflation, as measured by average hourly earnings, fell to 5.1% from 5.3% in May and labor force participation declined to 62.2% from 62.3.

On the other hand, Federal Reserve Board member Rafael Bostik supported a 75 basis point rate increase at the July meeting, where he stated that the latest inflation data is not as encouraging as he would have liked, and added that the information received in the past few months indicated a need to access To the neutral position more quickly.

As Karen Jane Beer, Biden's secretary to the press, stated that the upcoming inflation data will be very high.The monthly survey of consumer expectations released by the Federal Reserve in New York on Monday showed that consumers' expectations for one-year inflation increased to 6.8% in June from 6.6% in May. Three-year inflation expectations, however, fell to 3.6% from 3.9%.

Looking at the most important events affecting the pair, the focus is on the US consumer price index for June, which is scheduled for Wednesday. Earlier that day, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will announce its monetary policy decision as it is expected to raise interest rates by 50 basis points to tame inflation.

Support and resistance levels

On the 4 hour chart, the instrument is consolidating at the bottom of the Bollinger Bands.

General analysis USDCAD for 15.07.2022

Current dynamics


The USD/CAD pair opened today's trading session with a decline. To complete his strong reflection during his recent sessions.After rising from its weekly low to its highest level since November 2020 at 1,32235.

Looking at the reasons for the pair's volatility in recent sessions, the pair's decline came after the Bank of Canada raised the interest rate by 100 basis points to 2.5% in June, compared to market expectations for a rate increase of 75 basis points. The Bank of Canada statement said: With demand clearly increasing in the economy, inflation rising and widening, and more businesses and consumers expecting high inflation to continue for longer, the Board of Governors has decided to step up the path to higher interest rates.

However, the US macroeconomic data, which mainly indicates rising inflation to increase the chances that the Federal Reserve will implement a 100 basis point increase in July, came to be the main reason for the pair to reach its highest level in two years.

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the Producer Price Index (PPI) for final demand in the US rose to 11.3% on an annual basis in June from 10.9% in May, beating expectations of 10.7%. Additionally, there were 244,000 initial jobless claims in the week ending July 9 versus the previous week's reading of 235,000 and market expectations of 235,000. Weekly jobless claims were the highest in five months. The US Consumer Price Index (CPI) for June jumped higher 40-year level at 9.1% y/y vs. 8.8% expected and 8.6% previously.

On the other hand, some members of the Federal Reserve came in conflicting statements regarding the rate of interest rate hike in the upcoming meeting, as Federal Reserve member Rafael Bostic said this week that higher than expected inflation rates put the Fed funds rate increase by 100 basis points on the table. Another Fed member, Christopher Waller, said a 75 basis point hike at this meeting makes us neutral, adding that I think it makes sense that we have a stagnation in growth where it drops below the long-term average but doesn't turn negative.

Looking at the most important events affecting the pair today, attention will turn to the US retail sales, which is expected to rise 0.8% monthly in June from -0.3% recorded in May, and will precede the preliminary readings of the Michigan Consumer Confidence Index for the month of July, expected 49.9 vs. 50.0 previously.

Support and resistance levels

On the 4 hour chart, the instrument failed to consolidate at the upper side of the Bollinger Bands. The indicator is oriented sideways and the price range has shrunk, indicating that the current trend is about to change.The momentum chart is above the 100 level, which is giving sell signals. The Envelopes indicator gives clear buy signals.

✔️ Support levels: 1.30800, 1.30350, 1.29925.
✔️ Resistance levels: 1.31200, 1.31675, 1.32150.

Trading scenarios

✔️ Long positions should be opened at the 1.31200 with a target of 1.31675 and a stop loss at 1.30800. Implementation period: 1-3 days.
✔️ Short positions can be opened at the level of 1.30800 with a target of 1.30350 and a stop-loss at the level of 1.31200. Implementation period: 1-3 days.

General analysis XAUUSD for 19.07.2022

Current dynamics


The XAUUSD continues to trade actively and resumes its downtrend towards the strong psychological support at 1700.00.

Gold corrected on Monday at 1723.82, the highest level that this traditional safe haven asset reached, but by late afternoon the instrument returned to its downtrend. This price movement can be easily explained by the weakening of the U.S. dollar, caused by a decline in traders enthusiasm for the recently expected interest rate hike of 100 basis points at once. Whether it will actually happen, or the rate will be raised by the previously announced 75 basis points, we will know at the end of July during the next meeting of the members of the Federal Reserve, which will be held on the 27th.

The Australian National Bank claimed it expects the downtrend in gold to continue, should it break the support at $1675.00, it will continue southward at 1600.00. According to Laffer, a former adviser to President Reagan, the current situation with unprecedentedly high inflation in this century is caused by excessive monetary stimulation of the economy during the pandemic coronavirus and the only way to correct this imbalance is in the further tightening of monetary policy and reduction of the money supply, which will continue to lead to the strengthening of the dollar and lowering of the XAUUSD quotes.

At the same time, the analyst Hemke thinks that the FRS will be forced to switch over to the dovish policy as some experts believe that the economy is formally entering into recession, the citizens savings are fading, and the increase in consumer prices under an expensive dollar negatively affects the citizens attitude towards the representatives of the Democratic Party, which positions are hardly strong at the moment, which is an unacceptable luxury for the acting President on the threshold of the elections.

Traders interested in dealing this dynamic pair in the near future should pay attention to the following macroeconomic news: The number of construction permits issued tomorrow, Secondary housing market sales (June) and US crude oil inventories the day after tomorrow.

Support and resistance levels

Alligator is hungry: his mouth is wide open, his jaw (blue line) hovers high above his lips and teeth (green and red lines), the instrument is in a downtrend. The nearest fractal below the alligators teeth (red line) is at 1704.93. Awesome Oscillator (AO) and Accelerator Oscillator (AC) are both in the red area, the bars are close to the zero level, which is a strong confirmatory sell signal.

✔️ Support levels: 1700.40, 1693.30, 1683.60.
✔️ Resistance levels: 1722.00, 1716.00, 1710.70.

Trading scenarios

✔️ Long positions should be opened at the 1710.70 with a target of 1716.00 and a stop loss at 1705.00. Implementation period: 1-3 days.
✔️ Short positions can be opened at the level of 1700.40 with a target of 1693.30 and a stop-loss at the level of 1705.00. Implementation period: 1-3 days.

General analysis USDCHF for 20.07.2022
Current dynamics
The USD/CHF pair opened today's trading session with a decline. To continue the bearish performance of the pair for the third consecutive session. As the pair witnessed yesterday, Tuesday, a strong slide from the highest level in several weeks, touched last Thursday.
The US dollar continued its bearish path and extended its losses significantly during trading on Tuesday, with lower expectations of investors that the US Federal Reserve will tighten its monetary policy more strongly during its meeting next week, in light of the sharp decline in gasoline prices during the past month, a development that officials are likely to welcome. The Fed is concerned that expectations of high inflation may become ingrained and complicates their task of curbing price increases.
In addition to the statements of the Fed members that came to confirm that they are committed to raising the interest rate by 75 basis points in the current July meeting to reduce bets about the Federal Reserve escalating the pace of raising interest rates.
Whereas, Lewis Waller and James Bollader, Fed members said that they are leaning toward a 75 basis point rate increase at the next meeting, rather than a move by 100 basis points, to mitigate the negative effects on the economy.
As data published by the US Census Bureau on Tuesday, building permits came in at 1.685 million, above expectations (1.65 million) in June, and housing starts in the United States (MoM) came in at 1.559 million, below expectations (1.585 million) in June, the rate increased Building permits changed to -0.6% in June from the previous -7%. The initial housing change rate increased from -14.4% previously to -2% in June.
The main keys affecting the pair will be this week Initial Jobless Claims, and S&P Global Purchase Managers Index (PMI).

General analysis AUDUSD for 27.07.2022

Current dynamics

AUD/USD drops to 0.69450 ahead of major macroeconomic news on the pair

The pair AUD/USD, traditionally sensitive to the appetite for risk and dependent on it in direct relation, since the beginning of the trading week is in a downtrend, as a whole market is in an anxious condition, expecting the probable occurrence of economic recession. These concerns are dictated not only by steadily rising inflation and a consistent increase in the key rate of the U.S. Federal Reserve, but also negative forecasts about the prospects for economic growth in the whole world, including the Peoples Republic of China, heavily affected by prolonged restrictions caused by the epidemic situation around the pandemic of Covid-19. Another round of geopolitical tension in the world also affects the reduction of appetite for risk: the USA confronts China about its claims in the Taiwan issue, relations between Russia and European countries are complicated due to the news about a possible further reduction of gas supplies to the West. 

Negative statistics were released in the USA, showing a consecutive three-month decline in consumer confidence (95.7 vs. previous 98.4), new home sales in June (0.59 million vs. previous 0.64 million).

In Australia, experts predict the worst performance since 1990, probably in annual terms, it will reach 6.2%, which will inevitably provoke an increase in interest rates of the Reserve Bank of Australia.  The main reasons for such a surge in inflation in Australia is the energy and agricultural crisis, the global rise in prices for energy and food products.

The meeting of the Reserve Bank of Australia will be held on August 2, the main agenda is expected to raise the main interest rate to 1.35%. Experts believe that the most probable decision is to increase the rate by 50 basis points, at the same time the ceiling of its growth at the moment is forecasted at 3.35%, as the situation does not look inclined to stabilization and the cycle of tightening of the monetary policy, probably, will not end soon. The nearest step in the pairs development is for the U.S. Federal Reserve meeting, which is scheduled for July 27. Analysts expect the key rate to be raised by 75 basis points at once this time.

Support and resistance levels

Alligator is sleeping: the moving averages are twisted, the instrument is flat. The nearest fractal below the alligators teeth (red line) is at 0.69340. Awesome Oscillator (AO) and Accelerator Oscillator (AC) are in the gray area, showing a divergence, which is not a reliable signal to open a position.

✔️ Support levels: 0.69340, 0.69040, 0.68720.
✔️ Resistance levels: 0.70510, 0.70150, 0.69760.

Trading scenarios

✔️ Short positions should be opened at the 0.96800 with a target of 0.69040 and a stop loss at 0.69550. Implementation period: 1-2 days.
✔️ Long positions can be opened above the level of 0.69760 with a target of 0.70150 and a stop-loss at the level of 0.69550. Implementation period: 1-2 days.
