MNI DAILY TECHNICAL ANALYSIS - S/T GBP Gains Seen Corrective
Nov-28 08:42By: Edward Hardyand 1 more...
Price Signal Summary – S/T GBP Gains Still Seen Corrective
S&P E-Minis are holding on to their latest gains following the
recovery from the Nov 21 low. The climb has resulted in a breach of the 20- and
50- day EMAs. This highlights a bullish development and the likely end of the
corrective cycle between Oct 30 and Nov 21. The move higher in EUROSTOXX
50 futures this week undermines a recent bearish theme and the contract is
holding on to its gains. The contract has traded above the 20- and 50-day EMAs,
signalling scope for a stronger recovery near-term.
The trend theme in GBPUSD is bearish and short-term gains appear
corrective. Price has breached the 20-day EMA and pierced the 50-day EMA, at
1.3260. The trend set-up in USDJPY is bullish and the latest shallow
pullback appears corrective. The pair has recently entered overbought territory
and a deeper retracement, if seen, would allow this condition to unwind. A bearish theme in AUDUSD remains intact, however, this week’s gains have resulted in a breach of both the 20- and 50-day EMAs. This exposes a short-term trendline resistance at 0.6553, drawn from the Sep 17 high.
The trend condition in Gold remains bullish and the bear phase
between Oct 20 and 28 appears to have been a correction. This allowed a recent
overbought condition to unwind. Recent weakness in WTI futures
highlights a bearish theme. A resumption of the bear leg would open the key
support and the bear trigger at $55.99, the Oct 20 low.
Recent gains in Bund futures appear corrective. However,
the contract has traded through the 50-day EMA, at 129.04, and is holding on to
its latest gains. A clear break of the average would signal scope for a
stronger recovery. A volatile spike higher in Gilt futures on
Wednesday resulted in a breach of some important short-term resistance points.
This strengthens a bullish theme and a continuation higher would signal scope
for a climb towards resistance at 92.55.
