TECHS: Price Signal Summary - EURGBP Cracks Key Support

MARKET INSIGHT
  • In FX, EURGBP is weaker and has cleared a key support between 0.8867 and 0.8861, marking the Nov 23 and Nov 11 lows. This paves the way for a move towards 0.8800 and 0.8784.


  • EURUSD is seen maintaining a bearish short-term theme. Support levels to watch are:
    • 1.2054, Jan 18 low where a break would open 1.2011, Sep 1 high.
    • Resistance is at 1.2171 20-day EM
  • USDJPY attention remains on key resistance at 104.13, the bear channel top drawn off the Mar 24 high. A break would highlight a reversal. 104.40, Nov 11 high is the bull trigger.
    • Watch support too at 103.53 too, Jan 13 low. A break would represent a bearish development.
    • A bullish engulfing candle in EURJPY yesterday highlights a possible bullish reversal and perhaps a signal of Yen weakness near-term.
  • On the commodity front, Gold remains vulnerable despite this week's recovery. Watch support at $1804.7, Monday's low and resistance at $1869.9, the 50-day EMA. Oil contracts have held above support. Brent (H1) support to watch is at $53.75, the 20-day EMA and WTI (G1) support lies at $51.50, Jan 11 low.
  • In the FI space:
    • Bunds (H1) are off recent highs but the outlook is bullish. Support is at 176.96, 61.8% of the Jan 12 - 14 rally.
