TECHS: Price Signal Summary - FI Bears Return

MARKET INSIGHT
  • In the equity space conditions are unchanged and E-mini S&P bulls remain in charge despite today's move away from the earlier high of 3978.50. The focus is on 4000. Support to watch is at 3886.03, the 20-day EMA.
  • In the FX space:
    • EURUSD resistance at 1.1990, Mar 11 high remains intact. This level represents the trigger for a stronger S/T recovery. Note, yesterday price action is a bullish engulfing candle and does highlight the potential for stronger gains. A break of 1.1990 would open 1.2067 Mar 4 high. Support is at 1.1883, Mar 16 low. A break would negate the pattern and expose key support at 1.1836, Mar 9 low.


    • USDJPY remains in an uptrend. The focus is on 109.56, 61.8% of the Mar 2020 - Jan downleg and an important pivot resistance. Support is at 108.34 Mar 10 low.
    • USDCAD extends the sell-off from Mar 5 with a fresh trend low earlier today. This confirms a resumption of the downtrend with attention on 1.2307, the lower band of a moving average envelope.
  • On the commodity front, Gold is off the overnight highs. A bullish outlook remains intact though and scope is seen for a climb towards the 50-day EMA at $1786.7. Firm short-term support has been defined at $1699.3, Mar 12 low. Oil contracts remain below the Mar 8 high. The key directional triggers are unchanged at:
    • Brent (K1) - $71.38, Mar 8 high and $66.50, Mar 10 low.
    • WTI (J1) - $67.98, Mar 8 high and $63.13, Mar 10 low.
  • In the FI space, Bunds (M1) are under pressure and have probed support at 170.72, Mar 5 low. With resistance at 172.20, Mar 11 high intact, further weakness is likely near-term. 170.37, 61.8% of the Feb 25 - Mar 11 rally marks the next objective. Gilts (M1) have registered a fresh trend low print confirming a resumption of the downtrend. The focus is on 126.85 May 3, 2019 low (cont). Treasuries are offered once again as the downtrend extends. The focus is on 131-00 next.
