MNI DAILY TECHNICAL ANALYSIS - S/T GBP Gains Seen Corrective

Nov-28 08:42By: Edward Hardy and 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.

This exposes a short-term trendline resistance at 0.6553, drawn from the Sep 17 high. A clear break of this line would highlight a stronger reversal. On the downside, a resumption of weakness would refocus attention on 0.6415, the Aug 21 / 22 low and the trigger for a stronger downleg.

Note that 117.824, the 76.4% retracement, has been pierced. A resumption of the downleg would open 117.630, the Oct 1 low. Initial firm resistance is at 118.088, the 50-day EMA (pierced).

  • SUP 4: 89.86 Low Nov 19 and the bear trigger     

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, the Nov 11 high. A gap in the daily chart has been filled.
