In the forex,
- EURUSD: The EURUSD is breaking back below its 100 are moving average 1.0888. The move back below the moving average is disappointing to the buyers on the break above that level earlier today. Last week the high on Thursday found resistance cells against the 100 hour moving average. Sellers back in control
- GBPUSD: The GBPUSD is also dipping back to the downside in the early US session, but remains above its rising 100 hour moving average of 1.27311
- USDJPY: The USDJPY is making new highs for the day and looks toward the swing highs from last Thursday at 146.29 and 146.554. The current price is trading at 146.14 after reaching the high price of 146.175.
- USDCAD: The USDCAD is trying to move back above the 100-hour moving average at 1.35227 and a swing area between 1.35175 and 1.35271. A move above would disappoint the sellers on the break of the 100-hour moving average earlier today. The 38.2% retracement of the move up from the August 10 low stalled the fall. That was also the low from Thursday’s trade.
- AUDUSD: The AUDUSD remains below its 100 hour moving average of 0.64228 keeping the sellers more in control
- NZDUSD: The NZDUSD trade at 0.5910 with strong support between 0.5900 and 0.5903. On the top side the 100 hour moving averages out 0.59373.
