Resolve Posted Monday at 11:44 AM Author Share Posted Monday at 11:44 AM USD/JPY Analysis: The Rate Falls Below 140 Yen per Dollar Despite today's public holiday in Japan, yen buyers remain active. As shown on the USD/JPY chart, today's candle low has dropped below the psychological level of 140 yen per dollar. The last time this exchange rate was seen was on 28 July 2023. On 11 August, when analysing the USD/JPY chart, we: → drew a descending channel (shown in red); → plotted a resistance line (shown in orange); → predicted the possibility of a bearish attack on the 140 yen per dollar level. Current market sentiment is influenced by: → comments from Bank of Japan representative Junko Nakagawa, who stated last week that interest rates will continue to rise if economic and inflation forecasts align with expectations; → expectations of a rate cut from the Federal Reserve. A shift towards monetary easing now seems almost inevitable, with the main question being whether the rate will be reduced by 25 or 50 basis points.

Resolve Posted Monday at 12:15 PM Author Share Posted Monday at 12:15 PM Mastering Trading with the Symmetrical Triangle Chart Pattern In technical analysis, a symmetrical triangle is one of the most popular tools traders use to analyse a price direction. It’s a bilateral formation, meaning it provides buy and sell signals. This is the biggest challenge for traders. In this FXOpen article, we will try to explain how to read and use the symmetrical triangle formation. What Is a Symmetrical Triangle Pattern in Trading? A symmetrical triangle is a chart pattern that relates to the triangle group, which also includes ascending and descending triangles. It’s a bilateral formation, so it may signal a fall or rise in the price. Moreover, as with ascending and descending triangles, it can occur in an uptrend and downtrend and reflect a potential trend reversal or continuation. Still, according to the work Technical Analysis of Stock Trends by Robert D. Edwards and John Magee, in 75% of cases, the triangle is a continuation signal. Therefore, it can be assumed that a bullish symmetrical triangle pattern occurs in an uptrend, while a bearish symmetrical triangle pattern appears in a downtrend.

Resolve Posted Tuesday at 08:06 AM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 08:06 AM (edited) Understanding a Currency Peg: Definition, Mechanisms, and Implications Fixed exchange rates, a cornerstone of international finance, play a pivotal role in shaping global commerce and investment landscapes. This article delves into their intricacies, exploring the historical evolution, practical understanding, and the balance of benefits and challenges they present. Historical Context of Fixed Exchange Rates The concept of fixed exchange rate systems has evolved over centuries, but its modern form gained prominence with the Bretton Woods Agreement in 1944. This system was designed to rebuild the global economy after World War II by creating a stable international monetary framework. Under the Bretton Woods system, countries pegged their currencies to the US dollar, which in turn was backed by gold at a fixed rate of $35 per ounce. This arrangement aimed to maintain relative exchange rate stability, promote international trade, and prevent competitive currency devaluations.

Resolve Posted Tuesday at 12:04 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 12:04 PM FTSE 100 Bullish Ahead of Key Announcements The chart of the UK stock index FTSE 100 (UK 100 on FXOpen) shows prevailing positive sentiment in the market. The right side of the daily chart displays a series of bullish candles, with a likelihood of this trend continuing today, as the price has been rising since the market opened. This optimism is likely driven by the anticipation of key announcements: → Tomorrow at 09:00 GMT+3, the UK CPI figures will be released. Analysts expect inflation to remain steady without an increase. → Also tomorrow, at 21:00 GMT+3, the Federal Reserve will announce its decision on interest rates, with a cut seeming inevitable.

Resolve Posted 14 hours ago Author Share Posted 14 hours ago S&P 500 Sets Record Ahead of Fed Decision As shown by the S&P 500 index chart (US SPX 500 mini on FXOpen), yesterday's trading saw the index hit a new intraday high of 5,678.9, surpassing the previous record of 5,677.5 set on 16 July. However, the bulls were unable to maintain this historic peak, which is a negative sign, suggesting the possibility of a bear trap scenario. Nevertheless, this first new record in two months is significant as it shows the market's recovery from the panic-driven drop on 5 August, which was linked to fears of a potential recession. Yesterday’s rise was boosted by the US Commerce Department's August retail sales report, which exceeded expectations. As Forbes noted, this supports the view that the US is not on the brink of a recession. The market now heads into the final stretch before the highly anticipated Federal Reserve decision, expected today at 21:00 GMT+3, which will likely see the first interest rate cut in 4.5 years. According to Forex Factory, analysts predict a rate cut to 5.25% from the current 5.50%. However, surprises are possible, with a 0.5% cut also on the table. Only a small minority seems to expect the rate to remain unchanged.
