Technical Analysis
EUR/USD GBP/USD USD/JPY XAU/USD
“The market is pricing in a non-trivial probability of a Fed rate cut over the next couple of months. The Fed is really boxed in now, so the market doesn’t even begin to price in any real chance of hikes until mid-2017.”
- BMO Capital Markets (based on Bloomberg)
EUR/USD fluctuates around 1.1065 on Wednesday
Level Rationale

Pair’s Outlook The European currency surged from 1.1023 to 1.1062 on Tuesday
against the US Dollar, as the Euro is slowly recovering after the huge
drop it experienced on the results of the UK referendum on EU
membership. At the moment, the currency exchange rate is fluctuating
around the level of 1.1065, and it has already experienced volatility
between the ranged of 1.1050 to 1.1080 today. The rate is most likely
to struggle with the 200-day SMA at 1.1096.

GBP/USD attempts to surge again
Level Rationale
■ R3 1.4092 Monthly S2
■ R2 1.3981 Weekly PP
■ R1 1.3851 Monthly R3
■ S1 1.3304/1.3230 Bollinger band; June 24 low
■ S2 1.2942 Weekly S1
■ S3 1.2191 Weekly S2
Pair’s Outlook As was anticipated, the Sterling managed to rebound on Tuesday,
unable to fall below the post-Brexit’s low of 1.3230. Technically, the
Pound is likely to continue edging higher today, as the 1.3230 mark is
also reinforced by the lower Bollinger band. The Cable could keep
appreciating until the 1.40 major level is reached, as there are no
substantial resistances on the way to that area. Meanwhile, technical
indicators retain mixed signals, unable to confirm the scenario. As a
result, risks of the GBP/USD slumping back to 1.3320 or even lower
persist.
Traders’ Sentiment Bulls slightly retreated, as 57% of all open positions are now long
(previously 60%). At the same time, the number of purchase orders
increased from 54 to 57% over the day.

USD/JPY struggles to post more gains
Level Rationale
■ R3 106.34/65 Weekly R1; 38.20% Fibo
■ R2 105.33 20-day SMA
■ R1 103.34 Monthly S2
■ S1 102.69 Weekly PP
■ S2 101.87/14 Trend-line; Bollinger band; monthly S3
■ S3 100.72 50.0% Fibo
Pair’s Outlook The Greenback’s bullish development against the Japanese Yen on
Tuesday caused the broadening falling wedge pattern to be preserved.
Even though the bearish momentum could prevail today, there is a
number of supports located below the 102.00 major level, which are
likely to prevent the Buck from sustaining sharper losses. One of those
supports is a five-month trend-line, which should ideally be the lowest
border to contain the volatility. Technical indicators also suggest the
USD/JPY pair is to weaken today, but strong fundamentals could be
sufficient to trigger a buying-spree, leading the exchange rate above
the 103.00 psychological level.
Traders’ Sentiment Bulls retreated over the day, with 66% of traders holding long positions
(previously 72%). The share of buy orders skyrocketed from 45 to 78%.

“The fallout from Brexit had held sway through yesterday's European and North American sessions, sending the pound even lower. But for now, the market is experiencing a lull in absence of fresh factors and dollar/yen appears to be holding out well.” - Societe Generale (based on Reuters)

Pair’s Outlook Although, the market recovered on Tuesday from the Brexit induced
shock last week, markets have returned to risk off sentiment on
Wednesday, as, in the meantime, the yellow metal met the weekly
pivot point at 1,307.95 and began to increase. The bullion started
Wednesday’s session at 1,310.24, and it has moved to 1,319.42 by 5:30
GMT. If the metal continues its northwards movement, it is bound to
meet the monthly R2 at 1,343.10. In addition, daily aggregate technical
indicators forecast a surge for the metal today.
