EURJPY Hovers Past Mid 129.00 Level As EURO Limits Losses After ECB

EURJPY Price Analysis – July 27

The EURJPY cross stays on track to recover the prior day’s loss after a rebound from the mid 129.00 level during Friday’s European session. The selling pressure in the yen keeps the recovery in EURJPY well and sound at the FX market weekly close. The ECB meeting has helped investors maintain an optimistic outlook on the EURO.

Key Levels
Resistance Levels: 132.00, 131.00, 130.00
Support Levels: 129.02, 128.00, 127.07
EURJPY_Daily_July_23.jpegEURJPY Long term Trend: RangingIn a broader sense, a rise from level 121.61 is considered as a medium to long-term rising phase inside a long-term sideways trend. A further gain is expected as long as the weekly low at 128.59 support level holds.

On the other side, a drop beneath the level at 128.59 weekly low may reveal the 128.21-128.29 range (monthly low-levels Mar.2021) and then level 128.00. Even so, the continuous breach of the 128.00 level may imply that growth has been accomplished from the 121.61 level, refocusing attention on this low.
final_60fa6f17c8f10c00299db5f4_866713.pnEURJPY Short term Trend: Ranging
At the moment the intraday bias in EURJPY remains slightly to the downside. The present rally may aim for a sustained rebound from 128.59 to 131.00 levels. To suggest short-term topping, a breach of 128.50 support level is necessary on the downside. Alternatively, forecast in the event of a retreat may stay bullish.

Nonetheless, a clear breach might see resistance next at the 131.27 level. Near-term support shifts to level 129.02, then level 129.62 which typically holds higher for retaining the initial risk. A breach may see a reversal to level 128.59 but with anticipated fresh buyers below.

DeFi Coin (DEFC) Consolidates for a Stronger Hold Higher

DeFi Coin (DEFC) Price Analysis – August 2

After last month’s fall paused on the approach to daily cloud base and subsequent positive finish, the DEFC continues to consolidate its position in early August as recovery sustains, buyers are adding additional evidence to cement reversal. On July 31, the team said it will lock in DeFi Coin Liquidity for a one-year contract within 72 hours. Locking liquidity not only protects trade volume but also demonstrates a commitment to the DeFi Coin Protocol.

Key Levels
Supply Levels: $2.186, $1.500, $1.277
Demand Levels: $0.661, $0.500, $0.075
DeFi_COIN_Aug_2.jpegDeFi Coin (DEFC) 12-Hour Chart: Ranging
The DeFi Coin (DEFC) will most likely rebound from the ascending trendline support around the $0.833 level before recovering to the $1.277 resistance level, according to the price most likely scenario. Alternatively, until a new fundamental catalyst arises to prompt a range breach, the DEFC could remain range-bound between $0.661 and $1.277.

However, the positive relative strength index (RSI) price divergence in the coin is still extending up to $1.500. This raises the probability of the coin rallying to rise in the medium run. A notable entry for the DEFC will be on a bounce off the ascending trendline at $0.833 or on a reach of the horizontal support level at $0.661 if a short decline occurs.

XAGUSD Attempt at Further Recovery Stays Beneath $26.00

XAGUSD Price Analysis – August 1

Silver has made another attempt to climb higher and has recouped some of its previous losses, but the XAGUSD pair still has a long way to go before the buyers are secure. As buyers observe the gap between central banks and mixed greenback over its peers during times of heightened risk aversion, Silver stays beneath $26.00.

Key Levels
Resistance Levels: $27.50, $26.75, $26.00
Support Levels: $25.00, $24.50, $24.00
XAGUSD_Daily_Aug_1.jpegXAGUSD Long term Trend: Ranging
On the daily chart, the main resistance levels to watch are $26.00 and $26.75 levels, which have restricted its upside since early July. The recent low level around the daily ascending trendline at $24.50 should provide instant support in the case of an unforeseen downturn.

If the $26.00 and $26.75 barrier fails to hold, silver prices may be ready to move further in the medium to long term. The market action has generally been consolidating beneath the $26.00 levels during the last few days. A steady rise towards the February 1 highs could be feasible if it breaks above the $27.50 mark.
XAGUSD_Daily_Aug_1-2.jpegXAGUSD Short term Trend: Ranging
On the 4-hour chart, silver appears to be constrained by a big technical hurdle at $25.80. If the barrier holds, XAGUSD is anticipated to find support near the $25.30 level, slowing the bears and expanding gains against the US Dollar in the short term, thanks to the 4-hour moving average of 13.

In the meantime, bears are unlikely to win the market. The upward range between $26.00 and $26.75 might be a potential upside goal. A persistent break below, on the other hand, could signal bullish exhaustion, putting the pair at risk of breaching the major $25.00 psychological mark.

USDCHF Slide Poised To Remain, Swissy Gains From Safe-Haven Status

USDCHF Price Analysis – August 24

During Tuesday’s European trading hours, the USDCHF maintain its decline and struck a low of 0.9117 after sliding from the prior day’s high of approximately 0.9178. Amid concerns about the coronavirus and a resurgence in the global economy, the Swiss franc gains on its safe-haven status. At the time of this post, USDCHF is trading at 0.9129.

Key Levels
Resistance Levels: 0.9240, 0.9200, 0.9150
Support Levels: 0.9080, 0.9050, 0.9000
USDCHF_Daily_Aug_23.jpegUSDCHF Long term Trend: Ranging
On the daily chart’s technical front, a clean break out of the 0.9117 low level could hasten the downturn. Take note of the 0.9018 low of August. If the price falls below 0.9117, the recent low of 0.9018 will be reached. The 0.9000 support zone is guarded by the latest low of 0.9018. To bring volume to the lows of the 0.9018/0.9000 zone, a fall at 0.9117 is required.

However, there are no obvious indicators of completion at this time. The next objective is the anticipated return from 0.9117 to 0.9150 when high-volume trading resumes. A big breakthrough of the 0.9170 resistance level, on the other hand, would be an early indication of a trend reversal and might bring attention to the 0.9200 upside zone.
USDCHF_4_Hour_Aug_24.jpegUSDCHF Short term Trend: Ranging
The intraday slope of the USDCHF remains in a range, implying a retest of the 0.9018 bottoms. A break of the minor barrier around 0.9150, on the other hand, would shift short-term expectations and neutralize intraday bias once more. Meanwhile, in order to resume consolidation and enter a new phase of expansion the intraday bias will be dragged back to 0.9200.

The downward slopes of the 5 and 13 moving averages, which are also in a bearish slide, provide additional support for recent near-term forecasts. The RSI is declining, and the short-term picture remains skewed towards August lows, with a breach below this level reinforcing bearish fears.

EURCHF Keeps Retesting Zones as It Continues to Range

EURCHF Price Analysis ­– August 24

EURCHF keeps retesting between the 1.0070 resistance key level and the 1.0700 support level. The market has been kept back by its bearish trend. This is due to price rejection between the two key zones. The EURCHF market has been battling to continue its bearish trend and has been retesting. Price is anticipated to gain a little bullish momentum as it maintains its accumulation level.


EURCHF Significant Zones

Resistance levels: 1.07700, 1.09050
Support levels: 1.07000, 1.08350

EURCHF keeps retestingEURCHF Long Term Trend: Ranging

The market began to tumble and move in a bearish trend after a retesting of the 1.0905 resistance key level. After accumulating between the 1.08350 and 1.07700 key levels, this trend gained strength. Following that, the price breaks out in a bearish direction. There appears to be a pullback as the market begins to retest the key level of 1.0770. Several price rejections have occurred near this key level. Because of the price accumulation around this level, the EURCHF price may either gain more bullish strength or continue in its bearish direction.

However, the market has maintained a significant range between the 1.07700 resistance level and the 1.0700 support level. Price will continue to accumulate before a breakout can occur. The stochastic Oscillator on the daily chart gives a cross around the 50 level. This indicates market indecision as its ranges. This demonstrates that neither the bears nor the bulls were willing to make a decisive move lower or higher as the market continued to range, retesting key levels.

EURCHF keeps retestingEURCHF Short Term Trend: Ranging

On the 4-hour chart, the market is still in a range and retesting key levels. As more dots are displayed on the Parabolic SAR (Stop and Reverse). This indicates a bearish continuation. The Stochastic Oscillator indicates an oversold condition, indicating that the market is likely to reverse near 1.07700. This reversal could be a retest of the key resistance level of 1.07700 or a break above it.

XAGUSD Surges on Dismal US Jobs Report Amid Depressed Dollar

XAGUSD Price Analysis – September 5

Silver (XAG) is up 3.90 percent from the last session, assisted by the dismal NFP report, which came in below forecasts. XAGUSD reached $24.87, its highest level in a month, as per the technical analysis. The dollar stays depressed overall, extending weekly losses.

Key Levels
Resistance Levels: $26.00, $25.50, $25.00
Support Levels: $23.50, $22.87, $21.89
XAGUSD_Daily_Sept_5.jpegXAGUSD Long term Trend: Ranging
Long-term and mid-term bias is optimistic, and a climb towards $25.00 is expected if the broken $24.50 barrier level remains as support. On the other side, a break and closure below $24.50 would bring the $24.00 level back into focus. The pair is ranging and may go either way this week.

On the contrary, we’ll anticipate more downside below $24.50, with objectives of $24.00 and $23.50 on dollar’s strength. From a technical standpoint, a breakout south might happen in the next several trading days. In this instance, the XAGUSD exchange rate might find support at 23.50 percent and $23.00.
XAGUSD_4_Hour_Sept_5.jpegXAGUSD Short term Trend: Ranging
The recent breakout past $24.50 is expected to last through the coming trading sessions from a technical standpoint. In this case, the horizontal support level of $24.00 could provide support to the XAGUSD exchange rate in case of a retracement. The RSI stays overbought in the short term.

The pair is expected to find initial support at $24.50, however, further breach lower may go with a slide through taking it to the next support level of $24.00. On the positive, the pair is expected to hit its first level of resistance around $25.00, with a spike through taking it to $25.50.

AUDJPY Faces the 80.760 Support Level in Its Downtrend

AUDJPY Price Analysis – September 13

AUDJPY faces the 80.760 key level as it slips downward. The market began an uptrend after price beat a retreat at the 78.200 support level. The market kept climbing upward till it reached 82.090, at which point the market was knocked down. On its way downward, however, AUDJPY now faces the 80.760 key level which is preventing it from falling further.


AUDJPY Important Zones

Resistance Zones: 81.500, 82.090, 82.900
Support Zones: 78.200, 79.460, 80.760

AUDJPY facesAUDJPY Long Term Trend: Bearish

The AUDJPY market for the past 3 months can generally be described as bearish. This is because, since the 16th of June 2021, price has been falling. Bears faced a confrontation in the fall, majorly at 82.900 and then at 80.760. However, when the market fell to 79.200 on the 19th of August, the downtrend was reversed and price began a fresh uptrend. The market grew 5.27% to reach 82.090, where AUDJPY met brutal resistance and started plunging again.

AUDJPY now faces the 80.760 key level again. The last time the price fell to this level, it took about 20 days to recover. The MA period 10 (Moving Average) has shifted to the top of the latest daily candle to push it further down. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is showing decreasing bullish histogram bars and its lines are converging towards the zero level. These emphasize the weight of bearish pressure in the market. But the 80.760 level will fancy its chances of keeping price up.

AUDJPY facesAUDJPY Short Term Trend: Ranging

AUDJPY 4-hour timeframe reveals that price has begun a ranging pattern below the 81.500 key level as 80.760 has been defending price. The MA period 10 remains above the 4-hours candlesticks, which is a sign of continuous market depression. The MACD Histogram has been all bearish since the 6th of September. Moreso, its lines are about to cross beneath the zero level. This shows that there is a tendency for the market to break lower from the 80.760 key level. When this happens, the price will fall to 80.100.

Amid the bearish charge witnessed in Bitcoin (BTC) on Monday, El Salvador President Nayib Bukele revealed that the country bought the dip. El Salvador’s Bitcoin Law went into effect on September 7, making it the first sovereign nation to adopt the flagship cryptocurrency as legal tender.

President Bukele announced via Twitter that his government acquired an additional 150 BTC with the dip. He tweeted that:

“We just bought the dip. 150 new coins! El Salvador now holds 700 coins.

They can never beat you if you buy the dips. Presidential advice.”

BTC traded around $45,000 when Bukele made the announcement yesterday. However, the cryptocurrency has since dropped to the lower-$40,000 area, according to data from TradingView.

Meanwhile, ATM tracking website Coinatmradar.com recently revealed that the North American nation now has 205 crypto ATM locations, the third-largest by a country (behind the US and Canada).

The launch of the Chivo wallet, the country’s official crypto wallet, started with a rocky start. However, Bukele has assured that the Chivo app now operates in optimal capacity. Reports show that the full adoption of the Chivo app could cost remittance providers like Moneygram and Western Union over $400 million per annum.

Last Friday, Bukele tweeted that about 1.1 million Salvadorans now use the Chivo wallet, adding that: “we haven’t enabled 65% of phone models yet.”

Key Bitcoin Levels to Watch — September 21

BTC has fallen to a new monthly low of $40,140 following the industry-wide crash. The benchmark cryptocurrency now struggles to pick itself up and back to recent highs. Already, Bitcoin is on track to post a red monthly candle for September as it always has since it went mainstream.

That said, we expect a steady rebound above the $44,000 mark and higher over the coming hours. Nonetheless, we could see a retest of the $41,000 mark if bulls fail to reclaim the $44,000 level soon.

Meanwhile, our resistance levels are at $44,000, $44,400, and $45,000, and our key support levels are at $43,000, $42,000, and $41,000.

BITCOIN PRICE ANALYSIS: LONG-TERM HOLDERS REMAIN UNSHAKEN BY PRICE ACTIONBITCOIN PRICE ANALYSIS: LONG-TERM HOLDERS REMAIN UNSHAKEN BY PRICE ACTION

azeez-mustapha-trading-expert-150x150.jpeg
14 October 2021 | Updated: 14 October 2021

New reports from Glassnode show that despite the recent price surge in Bitcoin (BTC), long-term holders have shown no intention to liquidate and realize profits yet. The blockchain analytics provider also revealed that the percentage of BTC supply held for at least three months reached 85%, a new all-time high.

Citing data from Glassnode, famous Chinese crypto analyst Colin Wu illustrated the recent behavior of Bitcoin holders and their attitude towards the benchmark cryptocurrency. The analyst detailed that the percentage of long-term holders that have not moved their coins in over ten years stands at 12.3%. These tokens are deemed dormant for this reason.

The analyst further noted that the percentage of long-term holders that have not transferred their coins between two to three years and three to five years stands at 10% and 12.26%, respectively.

Finally, the highest percentage of long-term holders were those who have refused to move their coins between the last six months to twelve months, standing at 19.5%. That said, 85.14% of BTCs have not exchanged hands for at least three months, a new record high.

In July, Bitcoin struggled to keep its head above the $30,000 mark. Today, it has almost doubled this number, but investors remain steadfast in holding their coins.

Key Bitcoin Levels to Watch — October 14

As predicted in our previous analysis, BTC witnessed a sharp correction to the $55,000 – $54,000 pivot axis from the $57,500 level over the last 48 hours. This correction found immediate support from the $54,000 level, which triggered a rebound to a new five-month high at $58,500 earlier today.

While the price currently rests around $57,500, we expect a bull run to the $59,000 resistance over the coming hours and days.

Meanwhile, our resistance levels are at $58,000, $59,000, and $60,000, and our key support levels are at $56,700, $56,000, and $55,000.

final_616dc50fec178c00e6f0e56e_405382.pnXAGUSD Long term Trend: Ranging
Today, the white metal has struggled and it’s unable to break above the top range of the surge around $23.50, it is currently trading in the red at $23.22 per ounce. Beyond the $23.50 mark, the bulls may regain a stronger grasp.

The XAGUSD pair is held by the rebound trend and the trend may remain in a recovery mode. A closing above today’s upper range, currently at $23.45, might signal a low rebound from the $21.42 level continuation of the rally that began in late September, paving the way for a break beyond the $23.50 barrier.
XAUUSD_4_Hour_Oct_18.jpegXAGUSD Short term Trend: Ranging
Silver (XAG) has a greater range on the 4-hour time frame from late September lows at a level of $21.42, suggesting potential upside. As a result, the metal continues to climb. It has already broken through the previous high of $23.00, signaling that the next upward phase is underway.

The pair is expected to find support at $22.87, and a break of that level might take it to the next level of $22.10 support. The pair is expected to hit its initial critical resistance around $23.50, with a break taking it to the next level of resistance at $24.00.

AUDUSD RISES PAST 0.7550 DESPITE RISING US T-BOND YIELDS

AUDUSD Price Analysis – October 28

The AUDUSD trades higher at 0.7554 at the time of writing, up 0.50 percent during the American session. In the near term, the pair could drop lower but it remains a buy on dips. The US Dollar Index, which gauges the performance of the greenback, falls 0.6 percent to 93.30, despite rising US T-bond yields, with the 10-year benchmark note climbing three basis points to 1.561 percent.

Key Levels
Resistance Levels: 0.7800, 0.7700, 0.7600
Support Levels: 0.7450, 0.7350, 0.7220
AUDUSD_Daily_Oct_28.jpegAUDUSD Long term Trend: Ranging
On the daily AUDUSD chart, we can see that the moving averages of 5 and 13 are beneath the price, which provides support. Bulls are also keeping an eye on the latest 0.7555-level high for a possible upward breakout. In terms of technical analysis, a simple split beyond favors bulls continuing north.

Relative Strength Index circumstances, on the other hand, may pose a challenge to the bulls after that due to overbought conditions. On the downside, the pair’s losses below 0.7478 may recall sellers targeting 0.7450 support convergence as of mid-July, which included moving averages 5 and 13 with horizontal support.
final_617aee592b24800045818ced_101495.pnAUDUSD Short term Trend: Bullish
On the 4-hour chart of the AUDUSD, the upside rally continues, and the intraday bias is initially bullish. A breach of the 0.7478 support level could imply short-term topping, given the situation of bearish divergence in the short term RSI and price.

To resolve the full 0.7170 level increase pattern, the intraday bias for the 0.7450 support level will be returned to the downside in this scenario. However, if the resistance level of 0.7550 is sustained, the growth could accelerate to 0.7600.

USDJPY LOOKING FORWARD TO A BULLISH RIDE AFTER ACCUMULATION

USDJPY Analysis – Price Is Looking Forward to a Bullish Ride at the 113.400 Significant Level

USDJPY is looking forward to a bullish ride after several accumulations at a significant price level of 113.400. Market accumulation proceeded due to price action seeking to give both the buyers and sellers their positions in the market. Furthermore, as the buyers are always looking forward to pushing the price upward, the bears try to hold positions by accumulating at a significant price level before distribution occurs.


USDJPY Price Levels

Resistance Key Level: 113.409, 112.200
Support Key Level: 110.800, 109.100

USDJPY is looking forwardUSDJPY Long Term Trend: Bullish

As a result of the price increase, the USDJPY is projected to sustain its bullish ride. After a period of price accumulation between the significant price levels of 110.800 and 109.100, the market bulls took control. However, the more the accumulation, the more the market will finally allocate in a particular manner. After a protracted period of consolidation, the price was finally dispersed, and the bulls took control. The buyers then ride for a little longer, breaking over the significant price mark of 110.800, which they then retested before continuing.

The USDJPY gathered steam and eventually broke past the 113.400 significant price mark. This level, however, has been retested, and the price is thought to be accumulating at this extremely important level. As the momentum builds, pricing is expected to take a stronger positive turn. The Momentum indicator shows price movement diminishing, which indicates the price movement accumulation level.

USDJPY is looking forwardUSDJPY Long Term Trend: Bullish

On the 4-hour chart, the market has gained enough momentum to rally the price upward. However, above the 113.400 price level, the bulls and the bears are still holding on to their positions. The price is expected to move above this accumulation phase and bounce up. The Parabolic SAR (Stop and Reverse) shows price movement in range as both bulls and bears are holding their positions. USDJPY is therefore looking forward to a bullish ride when the momentum increases.

SHIBA INU COMES UNDER INTENSE SELL PRESSURE AS THIRD-LARGEST SHIB WHALE MOVES HOLDINGS

 

The Shiba Inu (SHIB) ownership concentration came under scrutiny as the meme coin continued to slide from its recent highs. According to reports, of the 872,382 wallets that hold SHIB, only ten control 72% of the total supply.

Experts have expressed their concerns with this situation and that despite the abundance of transparency in the crypto industry, it is almost impossible to link wallets to their owners. They also worry that this anonymity leaves market participants unaware of whale concentration and activities that influence prices.

Shiba Inu attracted a significant level of buzz after it flipped Dogecoin to become the ninth-largest cryptocurrency by market valuation last week. That said, all eyes are on the SHIB whale that controls over 13% of the circulating supply of the meme coin.

Meanwhile, whale wallet concentration has triggered worry over possible liquidity issues amid the growing sell pressure on SHIB at the moment. At press time, the eleventh-largest cryptocurrency has dropped by over 10% in the last 24 hours and 29% in seven days.

While no token sale has occurred yet from the earlier mentioned whale wallet, this address has moved about 10 trillion SHIB to four newly-created addresses, sparking liquidation fears.

Interestingly, transaction activity on the SHIB network recorded an exponential increase, momentarily exceeding other top networks like Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL). This increase in activity stems from the selling pressure on the SHIB network, as holders dump their tokens to realize profits from the recent rally.

Key Shiba Inu Levels to Watch — November 5

As mentioned earlier, Shiba Inu is in a dramatic bearish spiral as traders book profits. The meme currency bottomed at $0.00004312 yesterday before jumping near the $0.00005500 resistance. This jump failed to yield the desired results for SHIB holders as the cryptocurrency dropped again to $0.00004500.

sTDtJ7l2.jpeg SHIBUSD – 4-Hour Chart

However, the eleventh-largest cryptocurrency has rebounded again near the $0.00005500 resistance as bulls attempt to reclaim that level and push the price higher. That said, the critical level for bulls at the moment is the $0.00006000 psychological, where my descending trendline from the recent ATH resides.

Meanwhile, my resistance levels are $0.00005500, $0.00006000, and $0.00006500, and my key support levels are $0.00005000, $0.00004500, and $0.00004200.

SILVER (XAG) DAILY CLOSE ABOVE $24 HANDLE PAVES THE WAY

Silver (XAG) Price Analysis – November 7

The price of spot Silver (XAG) has risen significantly in recent trade having breached the $24.00 handle for now. The precious metal buyers look to conquer further barriers and pave the way for an upward move towards the $24.50 level. A continued decline in global and US yields would be required for such a move higher.

Key Levels
Resistance Levels: $25.50, $25.00, $24.50
Support Levels: $23.50, $23.00, $22.10
XAGUSD_Daily_Nov_7.jpegXAGUSD Long term Trend: Ranging
Silver (XAG) has demonstrated a positive breakthrough beyond the $24.00 resistance level on the daily chart from a technical standpoint. The nearest resistance is likely to be at $24.50, while the first and second support levels are expected to be at $23.50 and $23.02, respectively.

Since the end of October, silver has been climbing in a rising pattern versus the US dollar. Meanwhile, throughout the next session, the rate may find support from the rising trendline support around the $23.50 range. As a result, the price of silver may continue to rise in the present and next session.
final_61881da0a067e600f058facf_871756.pnXAGUSD Short term Trend: Ranging
On the 4-hour time frame, bulls are currently supporting an optimistic relative strength index trend to hit $24.50 in a second attempt to surpass upward. However, the commodity’s future gain may be hampered by the barrier zones around $24.82 and $25.00.

During the metal’s decline, the $23.50 level is the important support to consider ahead of the psychological horizontal support level near $23.00. If the price falls below $23.00, the $22.10 support level may come into focus, as a negative breach of the level might encourage the bears.

    • Date: 18th December 2024.   UK Inflation Climbs: All Eyes on the Fed’s Next Move!   US Retail Sales increase by 0.7% in November surpassing expectations of +0.6%. The US Dollar Index rose in value on Tuesday after starting the day with a bearish price gap. This week the US Dollar Index trades sideways as traders await the Fed’s rate decision. The Federal Reserve will confirm their rate decision this evening with most experts expecting a 0.25% adjustment. The UK’s inflation rate increases from 2.3% to 2.6% meeting the market’s previous expectations. The GBP quickly increases in value against all currencies. Analysts expect the Bank of England to pause but expect at least 2 monetary policy members to vote for a rate cut. GBPUSD - Both The Fed and BoE Are Scheduled To Announce Their Interest Rate Decisions! The GBPUSD rose up to 0.40% in value on Tuesday before slightly retracing and closing the day with a 0.21% gain. The increase in value is primarily due to the UK’s employment data which shows signs of stability and salary growth. The Bank of England is concerned the growth in salaries will continue to provide support for inflation. As a result, the BoE will likely pause in today’s rate decision.     During this morning's Asian session, the GBP saw a sudden bullish spike after the UK made public its inflation rate. The UK’s inflation rate increased from 2.3% to 2.6% which is an 8 month high. The higher rate of inflation along with high salary growth is likely to prompt the Bank of England to keep the rate unchanged at tomorrow’s meeting and for the upcoming months thereafter. During this morning's Asian session, the GBP saw a sudden bullish spike after the UK made public its inflation rate. The UK’s inflation rate increased from 2.3% to 2.6% which is an 8 month high. The higher rate of inflation along with high salary growth is likely to prompt the Bank of England to keep the rate unchanged at tomorrow’s meeting and for the upcoming months thereafter. October's labor market data, which came in positive, continues to improve sentiment towards the Pound and UK. The unemployment rate held steady at 4.3%, employment rose by 173,000 instead of the expected drop of 12,000. Average wages, both with and without bonuses, grew by 5.2%, beating forecasts of 4.6% and 5.0%, respectively. On Tuesday, the GBP rose in value against the US Dollar, Swiss Franc and the Euro, but fell in value against the JPY. During this morning’s Asian session, the GBP is increasing in value against all currencies except against the Euro. However, traders will monitor if the GBP is able to maintain momentum against the US Dollar. Bank of England Supporting The GBP! As inflation in the UK over the past 3 years rose to a level substantially higher than the US and the Eurozone, the Bank of England is aiming to cut interest rates at a slower pace. The UK’s inflation peak was at 11.1%, the US inflation peak was 2% lower and the EU 0.5% lower. As a result, the GBP is maintaining its value and has been supported by this factor over the past 2 days. All experts currently believe the Bank of England will keep its base rate at 4.75% and cut rates at a slower pace than the Federal Reserve. However, investors believe that of the 9 members within the Monetary Policy Committee, 2 will vote for a rate cut. If more than 2 vote to cut rates, the Pound may come under short term pressure. Federal Reserve The Federal Reserve is due to make a decision on the Federal Fund Rate. Currently, the market believes the FOMC will vote to adjust rates by 0.25%. The CME FedWatch Tool indicates there is a 95% chance of the Federal Reserve opting to cut to 4.25-4.50% and the slightly lower bond yields also indicate a cut. However, when taking into consideration the rise in consumer and producer inflation, resilient employment sector and yesterday’s strong retail sales data, the possibility of a pause remains. The US Retail Sales increased by 0.7% in November surpassing expectations of +0.6%. The increase was the strongest in 4 months, however, Core Retail Sales only rose by 0.2%. One of the main elements which traders will be monitoring is if the Fed will indicate 2 or 3 cuts. Currently, the market is pricing in another 2 rate cuts. If the Chairman, Mr Powell, indicates the central bank could cut up to 3 times, the US Dollar is likely to come under pressure. Some traders fear that the Fed may suggest a full pause in the easing cycle or a significant slowdown in 2025. This concern has arisen because of inflation and newly elected US President Donald Trump's trade tariff policies on imports. If traders sense this hawkish tone within the Chairman’s Press Conference this evening, the US Dollar could see significant gains. Particularly as this will trigger higher bond yields which are already trading close to 6 month highs. For further information on the Federal Reserve and Bank of England’s rate decision traders can join HFM’s Live Analysis on YouTube (Today at 12:00 GMT).         GBPUSD - Technical Analysis In terms of technical analysis, the GBPUSD maintains its slightly bullish bias as per yesterday’s market analysis article. However, even though the price has risen since yesterday, the GBPUSD has yet to hit the 1.27464 level mentioned earlier. The price movement will depend strongly on the Federal Reserve’s rate decision and the guidance they provide for the upcoming 1-2 quarters. If the GBPUSD is able to maintain bullish price movement and rise again back up to the day’s high (1.27264), the exchange rate may maintain its buy indications from Moving Averages, RSI and price action.       Always trade with strict risk management.
