Intraday bias will be back on the upside for 55 day EMA (now at 1.0125). on the downside, break of 0.9804 will resume larger down trend to 0.9650 long term projection level.

In the bigger picture,long term down trend from 1.2004 (2018 high) is expected to target 100% projection of 1.2004 to 1.0505 to 1.1149 at 0.9650. On the upside, break of 1.0513 resistance is needed to indicate medium term bottoming. Otherwise, outlook will stay bearish in case of strong rebound.

Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.1933; (P) 1.1989; (R1) 1.2053; More...

Intraday bias in GBP/USD remains neutral for the moment. Focus remains on 1.2055 minor resistance. Firm break there will confirm short term bottoming at 1.1759.

In the bigger picture, down trend from 1.4667 (2020 high) should have completed at 1.2005, after defending 1.2061 long term cluster support. Rise from there should target 61.8% retracement of 1.4667 to 1.2005 (2021 low) at 1.3650. This will remain the favored case now as long as 1.2516 support holds.

Crypto’s Full Swing Recovery

Bitcoin jumped 8.5% to $23,300 on Tuesday, showing a 20.8% gain over the last seven days. Ethereum is trading around $1570 on Wednesday morning, adding 3.4% in 24 hours and an impressive 49% for the week. The top altcoins are also rising nicely, adding between 3.9% (Polygon) and 11% (Cardano) for the day.

Total crypto market capitalisation, according to CoinMarketCap, rose 4.7% overnight to $1067bn.

Bitcoin on Tuesday posted its highest gains in a month on the back of a rebound in US stock indices and a weaker dollar. BTC has tested the highs since June 13 near $23,700, and on Wednesday, it is trying to consolidate above its 50-day moving average.

The dynamics near that line often acted as a reliable medium-term trend indicator. Only a strong buy above this level can serve as a firm reversal indicator in the next few days. If the upside momentum stalls, as it did in February and March this year, we should be prepared for a sharp increase in selling.

BTCUSD also exceeded the 200-week average during the last growth wave but fixing above this level at the end of the week should be considered a reliable signal.

The cryptocurrency Fear & Greed Index climbed to 31 by Wednesday after more than two months in “extreme fear” territory.

After waves of capitulation in May-June 2022, bitcoin quotes have been below the realised price for a month now. Other signals of a potential bottom forming have also emerged, Glassnode notes.

CryptoQuant, the research firm, has warned investors that further sales of BTC miners in a falling market could return pressure on prices.

USDJPY Moves Slightly Up After Bullish Doji Candle

USDJPY posted a bullish doji candle yesterday and maybe is a sign for further bullish actions after two consecutive red days. However, the technical indicators are endorsing an opposite scenario. The RSI is flattening near its overbought territory, while the stochastic pulled back from the 80 level and created a bearish crossover within its %K and %D lines.

If the market corrects higher, the bullish action may pause initially near the 24-year high of 139.35 ahead of the 140.00 psychological mark. A rally above the latter would probably stage fresh buying interest, with the price moving next to the 146.83, registered in June 1998.

On the other hand, violating the 137.00 round number could see losses extending towards the medium-term ascending trend line around 135.50. Even lower, the bears could stall near the 40-day simple moving average (SMA) at 134.25.

In the medium-term picture, USDJPY would resume an upside trend above the 24-year high, while a dive below 134.25 would bring the bearish outlook into play. It is also worth noting that the 40-day SMA keeps distancing itself above the 200-day SMA, raising optimism for a bull market.

NZDUSD in a Recovery Mood; 50-SMA Next in Focus

NZDUSD saw its fortune improving in the short-term picture following the clear close above the 20-day simple moving average (SMA) on Tuesday, with the focus now being on the 0.6256 resistance.

Encouragingly, the price has gained extra impetus today to climb above the descending trendline drawn from the 0.7032 peak. The technical oscillators are also mirroring increasing buying appetite as the RSI is strengthening its positive momentum above its 50 neutral mark and the MACD is distancing itself above its red signal line.

If buyers preserve strength above the descending trendline and the 0.6256 bar, which is the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the latest downleg, the next obstacle could pop up around the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) and the 50% Fibonacci of 0.6317. Further up, the recovery may pick up steam towards the 0.6400 round level and the 61.8% Fibonacci, while a sustained move past the 78.6% Fibonacci of 0.6564 and the 0.6500 mark could put the downward trajectory at risk near June’s top of 0.6567.

On the downside, a quick reference for support could be the 20-day SMA and the 23.6% Fibonacci of 0.6181, where the constraining red Tenkan-sen line is also converging. If that area cannot buffer selling tendencies, all eyes will turn to the two-year low of 0.6059. Even lower, the price may test the 0.6000 psychological number ahead of the key 0.5916 floor from April- May 2020.

In brief, NZDUSD is expected to extend its recovery in the short-term if the 0.6256 resistance gives way. The next obstacle could pop up around the 50-day SMA at 0.6317.

Daily Technical Analysis

EUR/USD

The resistance level at 1.0270 is still holding the bulls at bay and the pair is consolidating just below this zone. A confirmed breach of the mentioned key resistance would pave the way for the pair towards the next key resistance zone at 1.0383. However, a development of a short-term consolidation in the range of 1.0180 – 1.0270 is a highly possible scenario, before the bulls could attempt to take control and lead the pair above the resistance at 1.0270. On the other hand, if the bears prevail and manage to violate the support at 1.0186, then the pair would most probably head towards a test of the support at 1.0115. During today's trading session, the most important economic news that would be of interest to the market participants, will be the U.S. existing home sales data (14:00 GMT).

USD/JPY

During yesterday’s trading session, the pair made a slight upward movement that was limited at the resistance at 138.42 and the expectations for today’s trading session are for a downward movement and a test of the support at 137.40, where a successful breach would give the sellers an opportunity to target the next significant support zone at 136.70. However, if the bulls prevail, then we may instead expect an upward movement towards the high at 139.21.

GBP/USD

The bulls are facing difficulties in overcoming the resistance at 1.2045 and the pair is hovering just below this level. If the bulls manage to violate the mentioned resistance, then the most probable scenario is for the GBP/USD to head towards a test of the critical resistance at 1.2120. However, before the market is able to find a clear direction, the pair could remain locked in the range of 1.1962 – 1.2045. If the bears manage to take control over the market, then we may witness a deeper price correction towards the support at 1.1912.

EUGERMANY40

During yesterday’s trading session, the German index increased its value with approximately 4.5%, reaching the resistance level of 13378, and at the time of writing this analysis, the buyers are striving to confirm the breach of this level. The rally was fueled by hopes that Russia will restore gas exports via its Nord Stream. Even with the positive market sentiments, however, we may be in for a slight correction towards the support at 13171, before a possible continuation of the rally is to develop. If the sell-offs deepen and the support level at 13171 is violated, then the next target for the sellers would be the psychological level at 13000.

US30

The index appreciated significantly and the buyers are testing the resistance level at 31880, where a confirmed breach would be considered as a signal that the bulls are still in control of the market, in which case an increase in the price towards the psychological level at 32000 is highly possible. However, if the bears manage to hold the price below the resistance zone at 31881, then a correction towards the key support at 31425 could be considered as an alternative scenario for today’s trading session.
