CAD/JPY: Forming an ABC pattern on the daily chart

CAD/JPY produced a bullish engulfing candle upon having a bearish correction on the daily chart. The chart produced the candle at a level where the price found its support earlier as well. Thus, the daily buyers, as well as intraday buyers, are going to keep their eyes on the pair to go long. The H4 and the H1 chart look good for the buyers as well. Let us now have a look at these three major charts. Chart 1 CAD/JPY Daily Chart The chart shows it made a bullish move upon producing a bullish engulfing candle around 75.000. The price headed towards the North having a rejection at 76.815, and remained bearish for two candles. It then had a bounce around 75.850 and produced a bullish engulfing candle. The level of 75.850 has been a significant level, where the price had a bounce several times earlier. The price may find its next resistance around 76.815. Since the daily chart is forming an ABC pattern, it may breach the level and make a new higher high. Chart 2 CAD/JPY H4 Chart The chart shows that it headed towards the North upon producing a bullish engulfing candle at 75.550. The price had a rejection at 76.510. It has been in consolidation. The level of 76.305 may hold the price as a level of support. If the chart produces a bullish reversal candle, the buyers may go long above 76.510. The price may find its next resistance around 76.800. On the contrary, if the price makes a bearish breakout at 76.305, it may find its next support at 75.880. Chart 3 CAD/JPY H1 Chart The price after being bullish had a rejection at 76.510 twice. The level of 76.305 has been working as a neckline. If the level is breached by a bearish candle, the sellers may go short in the pair and drive the price towards the South with good bearish momentum. The price may find its next support at 76.000. On the other hand, the level of 76.305 is a flipped support, which may attract the buyers to go long upon a bullish reversal candle followed by a breakout at 76.510. The price may find its next resistance around 76.700. These three charts look good for the buyers. Thus, the pair may have a bullish day today. If today’s candle closes above the last higher high, the pair may remain bullish for several days.

Crude Oil Continues to Exhahibt Choppy Sessions - Uncertanioty Prevails! 

The WTI crude oil prices looking directionless despite decreasing the U.S. inventory report. The crude oil prices were mostly unchanged on the day near the $25.40. However, a bullish breakout of $27 level leads the oil prices towards the next resistance level of 27.82. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission warned that the odds of extra price volatility have increased as the expiry date of the June West Texas Intermediate contract nears. The receding hopes of quick economic recovery and the US-China intensifying tension damaged the investor's confidence, resulting from a weaker tone around the equity markets. At the US-China front, the already intensified trade tussle between the United States and China got worse after U.S. President Trump recently blocked investments into the Chinese stocks. China fire shots by words on the United States, which eventually weighed on the market risk sentiment. In the meantime, the U.S. stocks dropped after the Federal Reserve's Powell signaled that the economy could face further downturn if Congress fails to provide additional financial support, which eventually keeps the oil prices under pressure. On the other hand, the OPEC also shared the negative story about the world oil demand in its monthly report on Wednesday. The organization now expects demand to drop by 9.07 million BPD this year, compared to its expected contraction of 6.85 million BPD last month, which also keeps oil traders cautious. Daily Support and Resistance Pivot Point 25.25 The technical side of the U.S. oil is mostly unchanged as it continues to trade in between 27 - 25 area. The recent weakness in the U.S. dollar is finally supporting crude oil prices due to the dollar's negative correlation with commodities. The U.S. oil is consolidating at 26.96, having violated the symmetric triangle pattern, which provided resistance at 26.70 along with support at 25.10 and 24.10. The bullish breakout of 26.70 may lead to WTI prices towards 27.30 and even higher towards 27.80 during the U.S. session today. All the best!

AUD/USD Dropped Below Mid-0.6400s - Dollar Weakens Amid Jobless Claims!  

The AUD/USD currency pair failed to stop its previous 4-session losing streak and dropped just below mid-0.6400s, mainly due to the risk-off market sentiment, which keeps the risker assets, including Aussie dollar under pressure. The broad-based U.S. dollar strength also weighed on the currency pair and contributed to the currency pair earlier declines. The AUD/USD is trading at 0.6429 and consolidated in the range between the 0.6421 and 0.6462. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell showed disagreeability about the idea of the negative rate. He gave a very depressive statement about the economic downturn, which bolstered the demand of the U.S. dollar and contributed to the currency pair earlier declines. Besides, the Fed Chair Powell indicates that the on-going recession could be for the long-term if Congress fails to provide additional fiscal support. The receding expectations about the sharp recovery of economic weighed on the investors' sentiment. The risk-off market sentiment fueled by multiple factors like the US-China trade war and the second wave of coronavirus weakened demand for the perceived riskier Australian dollar. At the US-China front, the already escalated trade war between the United States and China got fueled further after U.S. President Trump recently blocked investments into the Chinese stocks. As in result, China fire shots by words on the United States, which eventually weighed on the market risk sentiment. Earlier in the morning, the Republican leader has denied renegotiation of the Phase 1 deal while alleging China for the virus outbreak. At the data front, the reason for the currency pair declines could also be attributed to the Thursday's mixed Aussie employment figures, showing that the number of employed people declined more-than-expected, by 594.3K in April. Alternatively, the lower-than-expected rise in the unemployment rate helped limit deeper losses. On the technical front, the AUD/USD pair is on a bearish run, having dropped below an immediate support level of 0.6432. Closing of candles below this level suggests odds of selling bias in Aussie. At the same time. The 50 EMA and RSI are also in support of the selling trend. But the closing of recent candles is rather mixed. Long shadows of candles are demonstrating the sort of indecision among traders, especially since the release of worse than expected U.S. Jobless Claims data. Let's look for selling trades below 0.6440 with a target around 0..6370. Alternatively, buying can also be seen around 0.6370 zones. All the best!

GBP/USD: Double Top driving the price down

GBP/USD has been bearish on the daily chart since 1st May. The price had a rejection at a double top resistance and breached the neckline. Thus, the sellers are going to keep their eyes on the pair to go short in the daily chart. Major intraday charts such as the H4 and the H1 look good for the bear too. Thus, the pair may produce another bearish candle on the daily chart. If today’s daily candle closes as a bearish marubozu candle, the pair may make a massive bearish move. Let us now have a look at the three major charts. Chart 1 GBP/USD Daily Chart The price had a bounce at 1.26150 and produced a bearish inside bar. It headed towards the South and made a breakout at 1.22650. The sellers may consider it a neckline breakout. Thus, they are going to be keen to find out short opportunities in the pair. The chart shows that the price may find its next support around 1.14500. This means the Bear may make a massive move here. Chart 2 GBP/USD H4 Chart The H4 chart shows that the price has been heading towards the South upon having upside corrections. Yesterday, the chart produced a massive H4 candle closing within 1.22110. Today’s second H4 candle closed within the level as well. However, as of writing, the pair has been trading below the level. Some sellers may have already triggered their short entries. The price may find its next support around 1.21300. Chart 3 GBP/USD H1 Chart The H1 chart has kept making new lower lows. The price had a bounce at 1.22050 and consolidated around the level for a while before making a breakout. Minor intraday traders may wait for the price to go back towards the breakout level and produce a bearish reversal candle to trigger short entries. The price may find its next resistance around 1.21600. On the contrary, if the price breaches 1.22050, intraday buyers may go long and push the price towards the level of 1.22850. Since the daily and the H4 chart are bearish biased, it is more likely that the pair may produce a bearish reversal candle on the minor charts and offer traders short entries. Considering these three charts, the pair may produce a bearish daily candle. If the candle closes having a tiny lower shadow, the pair may keep heading towards the South with more bearish pressure. The Bear has a lot of space for its next run in the GBPUSD.
