Euro has the upper hand over US dollar and managed to establish a higher high on the four-hour chart. It is now reaching a critical point as the ascending symmetrical triangle is narrowing price into the corner. If sellers successfully defend the yearly high of 1.147, price will likely fall back to the green support region, which ranges from 1.1389 to 1.1369. Conversely, if bulls are bold enough to conquer 1.147 in the short term, next big aim would be 1.544.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Resistance: 1.147, 1.1544, 1.1601<\/p>\n

Support: 1.1389-1.1369, 1.1334<\/p>\n

Cable broke through the symmetrical triangle outlined in the four-hour chart. Bulls are once again facing stern resistance at 76.4% Fibonacci, where it was rejected three times in a month. The decisive spikes during US trading session have very short lower wicks, which could be a sign that bulls have managed to gather enough power to overtake 1.2662 horizontal resistance. Some follow through buying has the potential to lift Sterling to test the four months high at 1.2784.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Resistance: 1.2662, 1.2784, 1.2855<\/p>\n

Gold\u2019 positive move seemed rather unaffected by the risk-on mood in the equity market. The value preserving metal bounced back from $1795, and is currently clinging to $1818 horizontal resistance. Economic docket remains relative light, and global fundamentals are mixed, thus Gold bidders are still waiting for a significant motive to push price higher. Nonetheless, bullish run will likely to resume from a technical perspective. MACD on the four-hour chart continues to eke out the bulls.<\/p>\n

Resistance: 1818, 1836<\/p>\n

Support: 1786, 1762, 1742<\/p>\n
