USD/JPY Analysis: Rate Surpasses 149 Yen Per Dollar
6XDrS7b.png

As the USD/JPY chart indicates, the rate has risen approximately 5.4% above the August 5 low.

On one hand, the yen's weakening against the U.S. dollar is partly driven by rumours that the Bank of Japan might intervene not to support the weak yen (as when the rate was above 160) but to weaken it further. "Intervention history shows that after yen-buying interventions, yen-selling interventions followed to curb excessive yen strength," Reuters reports, reflecting analysts' views.

On the other hand, the dollar strengthened yesterday as robust U.S. economic data all but dispelled fears of a recession.

TSLA Stock Price Rises by Over 6%
wuuX2Ww.png

The Tesla (TSLA) stock chart today shows that the price surged by more than 6% during yesterday’s trading session, driven by a strong retail sales report released the same day.

According to ForexFactory, analysts had expected Retail Sales to increase by 0.4% month-on-month. However, the actual data showed a 1.0% rise (for comparison, previous figures indicated a decline of -0.2%).

It seems that market participants interpreted this as a sign that Tesla's sales could also rise, propelling the electric vehicle manufacturer's stock to one of the top performers.

Gold Price Surpasses $2500 for the First Time
GlAq5a8.png

We noted bullish sentiment in the gold market six days ago:
→ The price is moving within an ascending channel (shown in blue);
→ Bulls may attempt to set a historic record amid the release of economic news.

As today's XAU/USD chart shows, the gold price has risen above the psychological level of $2500. This was influenced by last week's news, indicating that market participants expect the Federal Reserve to cut rates as early as September. Notably, important signals regarding U.S. monetary policy may be given later this week at the annual economic symposium in Jackson Hole, attended by finance ministers and central bank governors.

Netflix (NFLX) Shares Reach a Two-Month High
66YLVYE.png

As shown on the daily chart of Netflix (NFLX) shares, the price surpassed the July 19 peak around $677 on Friday but closed well below the day’s highs. Notably:
→ Since August 5, Netflix (NFLX) has outperformed stock indices;
→ The stock has risen by about 15% from the August 5 close.

Will the rally continue?

Bullish argument:
→ Analysts expect an improvement in the company’s fundamentals following enhancements to its business model. According to Zacks, Netflix might report earnings of $5.07 per share for the current quarter, representing a year-on-year increase of +35.9%. The Zacks consensus estimate has risen by +7.9% over the past 30 days.

Bearish argument:
According to SEC filings, Netflix’s Chief Legal Officer sold $7 million worth of shares. Could this sale be motivated by insider information that might lead to a decline in the stock price?

The Pound Near July Highs: What Could Trigger a Breakout?
LvEkFrI.png

The slowdown in U.S. inflation and a cooling labour market have rekindled investor confidence that the Federal Reserve may soon begin cutting interest rates. As bearish sentiment towards the dollar dominates the market, key currency pairs have approached critical levels, the breach of which could spark new medium-term trends.

GBP/USD

Technical analysis of GBP/USD suggests the possibility of a retest of the July high at 1.3050, as a strong upward momentum has developed on the daily timeframe following a bullish engulfing pattern. If buyers manage to secure a hold above 1.3000, the price could extend towards last year's highs around 1.3140-1.3100. Conversely, a rejection from 1.3000 might lead to a corrective decline towards 1.2900-1.2800.

FipHEAC.png

As indicated by the XBR/USD chart, the price per barrel opened at $80.28 on Friday and closed at $77.27 on Monday. Moreover, early Tuesday trading also shows a downward trend.

Additionally, ANZ Bank analysts point to a reduction in petrol consumption in China due to the increasing use of electric vehicles.

Could Brent crude oil prices continue to fall further?

→ Today, the market seems to have reassessed the impact, with the pair falling to yesterday's low, indicating continued bearish dominance.

Coinbase (COIN) Shares Drop Below $200
sHSsFzW.jpeg

Yesterday, shares of cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase (COIN) underperformed the broader market, falling by approximately 5%.

This decline is part of a worrying trend. While the S&P 500 (US SPX 500 mini on FXOpen) set records in mid-summer, Coinbase (COIN) struggled to surpass its March high. It seems the positive impact of the Bitcoin ETF launch earlier this year has faded.

Additionally, COIN's share price has been affected by a weak earnings report published on 1st August, where earnings per share fell significantly short of expectations (actual = $0.14 vs forecast = $0.95).

Adding to the negative sentiment is the news that if Kamala Harris wins the US presidential election, current SEC Chair Gary Gensler, known for his sceptical stance on cryptocurrencies, might be appointed as Treasury Secretary.

European Currencies Strengthened Ahead of the Jackson Hole Symposium
uEBiJkX.png

The release of revised US employment data and the FOMC minutes has added downward pressure on the dollar. The updated figures show that in March, there were 818,000 fewer non-farm jobs than initially reported, suggesting that the US labour market continues to slow. This raises the possibility that the Fed may cut rates by 0.50% at the September meeting, rather than the 0.25% predicted by experts.

Given the current situation, traders will be closely watching the annual Jackson Hole symposium and Jerome Powell’s comments on the state of the US economy. Important data is also expected from the UK and Europe.

EUR/USD
hkxq1HZ.png

Technical analysis of the EUR/USD pair indicates the potential for further price strengthening, supported by a strong bullish impulse on the daily timeframe after a series of buy setups. Yesterday, the price broke through key resistance at 1.1100. If this level turns into support, the pair may continue its rise towards last year’s highs at 1.1270-1.1240.

Analysis of NZD/USD: Price Approaches Key Resistance Zone
eMLBQmH.png

The NZD/USD chart today shows that the New Zealand dollar has risen by over 3% against the USD in less than a week. From another perspective, the NZD/USD rate has climbed more than 5% from its August low.

The volatility in the exchange rate was influenced by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand's decision to cut interest rates, as reported on 14 August.

Technical analysis of the NZD/USD chart reveals:
→ The current bullish sentiment has pushed the RSI indicator from the oversold into the overbought zone.
→ The 0.60770 level, which marked the peak on 13-14 August, may now act as support following its bullish breakout on 19 August.

The S&P 500 Index Approaches Historic High
iW2lxQ9.png

On 2 August, we analysed the S&P 500 (US SPX 500 mini on FXOpen) chart, where we:
→ Constructed an ascending channel A-B with a median line shown as a dotted line;
→ Highlighted the risk of a bearish breakout (as indicated by the red arrow).

Since then:
→ The price dropped by more than 5% to the 5 August low, doubling the width of the A-B channel towards point C – the B line became the median of a wider channel. The index's decline was driven by recession fears, based on weak US labour market data;
→ However, the price then began to recover from the lower boundary of the wider channel, indicating that recession fears have subsided and the rally continues;
→ The price has now returned close to historical highs.

Yesterday, the minutes from the FOMC meeting on 30-31 July were released, revealing that the vast majority of participants noted that if data continues to align with expectations, it might be appropriate to ease policy at the next meeting.

The S&P 500 (US SPX 500 mini on FXOpen) index remained largely unchanged on this news – this indicates market participants' belief that interest rates will likely be cut in September, which would stimulate economic growth, company performance, and stock indices.

5 Popular Momentum Indicators

Momentum indicators are technical analysis tools that help traders gauge the force behind price movements. They can show optimal entry and exit points and provide valuable insight into whether a trend is likely to continue or reverse.

Let’s look at the most common momentum signals.
- Overbought and oversold conditions;
- Divergences;
- Crossovers.

Now let’s break down five of the most popular indicators.

  • The Average Directional Index, or ADX, is used to determine a trend’s strength.
  • The Commodity Channel Index, or CCI, is a versatile momentum indicator that measures an asset's price deviation from its average price relative to its mean deviation. The indicator can also be used to identify divergences.
  • The Relative Strength Index, or RSI, is an oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. Traders can look for divergence between the RSI and price to identify weakening trends and possible reversals.
  • The Moving Average Convergence Divergence, or MACD, is a highly regarded trend-following momentum indicator. Traders use crossovers between the MACD and signal lines as potential entry and exit signals.
  • The Momentum indicator measures the rate of change in an asset's price over a specific period. The Momentum is especially useful for identifying divergences.
