Chart of the Day

Recommended Posts

Taking a look at the daily chart of EUR/AUD, there is a clear inverse head and shoulder pattern with a neckline at 1.45. EUR/AUD is trading above this level, which means the neckline has been broken. While the break is shallow and not strong, we still believe that this bullish technical pattern will pave the way for a stronger move up to 1.48. However if EUR/AUD drops back below 1.44, then the pattern will be negated and the outlook for the currency pair turns bearish.

Technically the spike bottom at 92.00 is the key support for the pair and a break there opens the floodgates for a run to 90.00 but a move above 94.50 would confirm that the bottom is in and that the pair is likely headed to 95.00

From a fundamental and technical perspective, EUR/CAD is headed back down to 1.40. The euro was hit hard today by the talk of corporate bond buying by the European Central Bank. If true it would be another step by the ECB to increase stimulus. Corporate bond buying is complex and difficult to implement but the mere fact that this is a possibility reinforces the central bank’s bias to ease. The euro is in play this week with the PMI reports scheduled for release on Thursday and the bank stress tests results due on October 26. Given the recent deterioration in Eurozone data, I expect the PMI reports to show a further slowdown in economic activity that should keep pressure on the euro. At the same time, tomorrow’s retail sales report and Bank of Canada rate decision should be positive for the CAD. The loonie has become deeply oversold due to the decline in oil prices but based on the uptick in job growth, increase in core prices and weakness of the exchange rate, the statement could be less dovish, leading to a much needed reversal in USD/CAD. Canada is widely expected to raise rates after the Fed and before the BoE, which makes the CAD a bargain against the euro.

Taking a look at the weekly chart of GBP/USD, 1.60 is not only a psychologically significant level but also the 50% Fibonacci retracement of the 2013 to 2014 rally. Once this level is broken, the next support is the 2014 low of 1.5875. If it holds, meaning GBP/USD does not close below this level then it is likely to retest 1.62.

The EUR/JPY has now set a strong triple bottom with a spike low at 135.00 and a move above 137.50 would open a run towards the 139.00 level and establish a strong case for a breakout rally. On the other had a close below 136.00 would point to a possible retest of the lows at 135.00

Technically NZD/JPY has set a higher double bottom which is a bullish sign and if the pair can hold above 85.50 then 86.00 would come into view. On the downside support lies at 84.50 with much deeper support at 83.0

Hello i found that info:

 

The recovery from 168.01 extended higher and could continue. But again, near term outlook stays cautiously bearish as long as 175.00 resistance holds and we'd expect further fall ahead. Prior break of 169.34 support was taken as an indication of medium term topping at 180.70. Below 171.06 minor support will turn bias back to the downside for 168.01 first. Break will target 163.87 support next. Nonetheless, break of 175.00 will dampen this bearish view and target a test on 180.70 high instead.

Taking a look at the daily chart of USD/CHF, we can see a triangle in formation, which is a classic breakout pattern with 95 and 94 cents being the key levels to watch. If 95 cents is broken, there is no major resistance until the October high of 0.9689. If 94 cents is broken, the next stop should be the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement of the 2011 to 2012 high at 0.93 cents.

The EUR/USD remains in a long secular downtrend and the latest rally was simply corrective in nature running out of steam at the 1.2800 level. The test to the downside will target the yearly low at 1.2500 and break there would open a run towards 1.2250. Meanwhile only a close above 1.2800 relieves the bearish bias.

Taking a look at the monthly chart of AUD/USD, the 4 year low of 0.8643 is looking extremely vulnerable especially after Monday’s big move. However having tested this level on numerous occasions, significantly weaker data or an intensification of concerns about the level of the currency or the global economy could be needed for this level to break in the next 24 hours. Beyond that, the market’s appetite for U.S. and Australian dollars will be key. A break below 0.8643 opens the door for a move down to the 50% Fibonacci retracement of the 2008 to 2011 rally at 0.8550. If this level holds, AUD/USD could trickle back up towards the top of its month long range near 89 cents.

Looking at the GBP/CAD technically we see a higher low on the pair and rounded bottom that suggests a potential explosion higher. A break above 1.8300 could open a run towards 1.8500 but the pair would need to collapse below 1.7900 to truly break its support.

Thursday’s European Central Bank Monetary Policy announcement is one of the most highly anticipated event risks this week and the euro is trading soft going into the rate decision. It is no secret that the ECB maintains a dovish monetary policy stance and intends to increase stimulus if the economy weakens further. This stance contrasts sharply with that of the Fed whose rosier outlook for the labor market reset expectations for a mid 2015 rate hike. With tightening expected to be the Fed’s next move and easing to be the ECB’s, its no wonder that EUR/USD is trading near 2 year lows. However the main question is whether these losses will continue on the back of Thursday’s announcement. We do not expect the ECB to follow in the Bank of Japan’s footsteps by increasing stimulus. Yet if they decide to expand purchases to corporate bonds, it would represent an increase in stimulus that would be negative for the euro. If they simply reiterate their plans to raise stimulus but fail to follow through with fresh action, given the overstretched nature of euro short positions, a short squeeze could drive EUR/USD higher.

The 1.4000 level is a very strong base level in EUR/CAD representing triple bottom support if it is broken the drop could be precipitous to 1.3800. Meanwhile only a move above 1.4200 alleviates the downside bias.

EUR/CHF hit a 2 year low today as investors fear that a yes vote on the Swiss gold referendum at the end of the month will force the Swiss National Bank to choose between adhering to the vote or defending the EUR/CHF 1.20 peg. The vote asks whether the SNB should raise the share of gold in its asset to 20% from 8%. The reason why this could affect the currency is because if the referendum passes, it would require the central bank to sell its foreign reserves, much of them in euros to buy gold. This is a dangerous predicament because it would restrict the SNB’s ability to defend its currency. The vote will be a close one that gold bugs and EUR/CHF traders will watch carefully. However while it poses a serious risk to EUR/CHF, the vote is more than 2 weeks away and the SNB could still verbally and possibly even physically intervene in the currency to keep it from breaking the 1.20 peg before that time.

 

In a pair like EUR/CHF that is distorted by central bank intervention, technicals are not very reliable. However as shown in the daily chart, 1.20 is an obvious support level for the currency pair. In the last 2 years, the “low” for EUR/CHF was 1.1996, a level that we believe will hold before November 30th. While there appears to be resistance at 1.21, verbal and/or physical intervention could drive EUR/CHF up 100 to 300 pips in a matter of days depending the strength of the central bank’s actions.

Taking a look at the weekly chart of GBP/USD, 1.58 is the current support level for the currency pair and if that breaks, the next level to watch is 1.5720, the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the July 2013 to July 2014 rally. By the same token, resistance is at 1.60, which is not only a psychologically significant level but also the 50% Fib retracement of the same move. If this level is broken in a meaningful way, it should be a smooth ride towards 1.62.

GBP/AUD has now made a triple top at the 1.8600 level and the distribution is facing a triple bottom at the 1.8100 level. A break there opens a runt to 1.8000 and only a close above 1.8300 relieves the downside pressure on the pair.

The 8000 level in EUR/GBP represents a triple top and a lower triple top at that suggesting that the pair is now at the top of its range and will need to trade above the 8125 level in order to establish a new bullish bias. Meanwhile the downside target is the lower end of the range at 7800

    • Date: 11th July 2025.   Demand For Gold Rises As Trump Announces Tariffs!   Gold prices rose significantly throughout the week as investors took advantage of the 2.50% lower entry level. Investors also return to the safe-haven asset as the US trade policy continues to escalate. As a result, investors are taking a more dovish tone. The ‘risk-off’ appetite is also something which can be seen within the stock market. The NASDAQ on Thursday took a 0.90% dive within only 30 minutes.   Trade Tensions Escalate President Trump has been teasing with new tariffs throughout the week. However, the tariffs were confirmed on Thursday. A 35% tariff on Canadian imports starting August 1st, along with 50% tariffs on copper and goods from Brazil. Some experts are advising that Brazil has been specifically targeted due to its association with the BRICS.   However, the President has not directly associated the tariffs with BRICS yet. According to President Trump, Brazil is targeting US technology companies and carrying out a ‘witch hunt’against former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, a close ally who is currently facing prosecution for allegedly attempting to overturn the 2022 Brazilian election.   Although Brazil is one of the largest and fastest-growing economies in the Americas, it is not the main concern for investors. Investors are more concerned about Tariffs on Canada. The White House said it will impose a 35% tariff on Canadian imports, effective August 1st, raised from the earlier 25% rate. This covers most goods, with exceptions under USMCA and exemptions for Canadian companies producing within the US.   It is also vital for investors to note that Canada is among the US;’s top 3 trading partners. The increase was justified by Trump citing issues like the trade deficit, Canada’s handling of fentanyl trafficking, and perceived unfair trade practices.   The President is also threatening new measures against the EU. These moves caused US and European stock futures to fall nearly 1%, while the Dollar rose and commodity prices saw small gains. However, the main benefactor was Silver and Gold, which are the two best-performing metals of the day.   How Will The Fed Impact Gold? The FOMC indicated that the number of members warming up to the idea of interest rate cuts is increasing. If the Fed takes a dovish tone, the price of Gold may further rise. In the meantime, the President pushing for a 3% rate cut sparked talk of a more dovish Fed nominee next year and raised worries about future inflation.   Meanwhile, jobless claims dropped for the fourth straight week, coming in better than expected and supporting the view that the labour market remains strong after last week’s solid payroll report. Markets still expect two rate cuts this year, but rate futures show most investors see no change at the next Fed meeting. Gold is expected to finish the week mostly flat.       Gold 15-Minute Chart     If the price of Gold increases above $3,337.50, buy signals are likely to materialise again. However, the price is currently retracing, meaning traders are likely to wait for regained momentum before entering further buy trades. According to HSBC, they expect an average price of $3,215 in 2025 (up from $3,015) and $3,125 in 2026, with projections showing a volatile range between $3,100 and $3,600   Key Takeaway Points: Gold Rises on Safe-Haven Demand. Gold gained as investors reacted to rising trade tensions and market volatility. Canada Tariffs Spark Concern. A 35% tariff on Canadian imports drew attention due to Canada’s key trade role. Fed Dovish Shift Supports Gold. Growing expectations of rate cuts and Trump’s push for a 3% cut boosted the gold outlook. Gold Eyes Breakout Above $3,337.5. Price is consolidating; a move above $3,337.50 could trigger new buy signals. Always trade with strict risk management.

    • What These Attacks Look Like There are several ways you could get hacked. And the threats compound by the day.   Here’s a quick rundown:   Phishing: Fake emails from your “bank.” Click the link, give your password—game over.   Ransomware: Malware that locks your files and demands crypto. Pay up, or it’s gone.   DDoS: Overwhelm a website with traffic until it crashes. Like 10,000 bots blocking the door. Often used by nations.   Man-in-the-Middle: Hackers intercept your messages on public WiFi and read or change them.   Social Engineering: Hackers pose as IT or drop infected USB drives labeled “Payroll.”   You don’t need to be “important” to be a target.   You just need to be online.   What You Can Do (Without Buying a Bunker) You don’t have to be tech-savvy.   You just need to stop being low-hanging fruit.   Here’s how:   Use a YubiKey (physical passkey device) or Authenticator app – Ditch text message 2FA. SIM swaps are real. Hackers often have people on the inside at telecom companies.   Use a password manager (with Yubikey) – One unique password per account. Stop using your dog’s name.   Update your devices – Those annoying updates patch real security holes. Use them.   Back up your files – If ransomware hits, you don’t want your important documents held hostage.   Avoid public WiFi for sensitive stuff – Or use a VPN.   Think before you click – Emails that feel “urgent” are often fake. Go to the websites manually for confirmation.   Consider Starlink in case the internet goes down – I think it’s time for me to make the leap. Don’t Panic. Prepare. (Then Invest.)   I spent an hour in that basement bar reading about cyberattacks—and watching real-world systems fall apart like dominos.   The internet going down used to be an inconvenience. Now, it’s a warning.   Cyberwar isn’t coming. It’s here.   And the next time your internet goes out, it might not just be your router.   Don’t panic. Prepare.   And maybe keep a backup plan in your back pocket. Like a local basement bar with good bourbon—and working WiFi.   As usual, we’re on the lookout for more opportunities in cybersecurity. Stay tuned.   Author: Chris Campbell (AltucherConfidential) Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
