• 5 Dec 2018

USD/JPY

 

 

The USD/JPY pair has rebounded from the 112.82 support level, where buyers returned to the pair. The question is whether the previous bullish trend will resume. Momentum indicators remain bearish; with MACD approaching the zero line and RSI following a downward trajectory. 

 

 

 

 

 

EUR/USD

 

 

The EUR/USD pair has rebounded from the descending trendline once again indicating that this may be a new support area for the pair. A series of doji candles do indicate indecision and the pair may consolidate between the 1.129 and 1.142 price levels, in the near term. Momentum indicators have turned neutral if slightly bearish which is consistent with price action consolidating.

USD/CHF

 

 

The USD/CHF pair has broken back below the 0.997 price level and given that price action has broken the descending trendline to the downside. The 0.997 price level appears to be a sticking point for the pair as there is not serious momentum in either direction.
