Weekly Analysis of Major FX Pairs (September 13-20, 2024)

EUR/USD: Bullish

The EUR/USD has considerably capitalized on the dollar’s weakness to print bullish gains. Price action in the market has risen gradually over recent sessions. Price recovered significantly in the previous session but seems to have cooled a bit today as we approach the weekend break.

However, the pair currently trades above all the Guppy Multiple Moving Average (GMMA) lines. The last price candle has an upper shadow, revealing that downward forces are acting in the session. Nevertheless, the Stochastic Relative Strength Index (Stochastic RSI) lines are still rising from the oversold region. Technically, it could be concluded that the market may close above the 1.1100 threshold.

However, it can be observed that the major FX pair has contracted considerably, as indicated by the upper shadow of the price candle in the ongoing session. From a general perspective, the market has been making higher highs recently. This major FX pair continues to trade above all the applied GMMA lines.

USD/CHF: Bearish

The USD/CHF retreated below the green set of GMMA lines on Thursday. Meanwhile, today’s trading activity has seen increased downward momentum, with prices dipping further. As a result, the major FX pair has fallen below all the GMMA lines, taking a more bearish stance.

At the same time, the Stochastic RSI lines have delivered a downward crossover in the overbought region. Technically, this hints that the market may reach the 0.8400 mark ahead of the weekend’s important data.

USD/CAD: Bullish

While bearish sentiment surrounds the USD, the USD/CAD pair has been able to maintain a bullish path. The major FX pair is attempting to break through the 1.3595 resistance level and subsequently the 1.3600 threshold. The corresponding price candle for the ongoing session stands above the green set of the GMMA indicator, maintaining the potential to break through the resistance level.

Meanwhile, the Stochastic RSI indicator lines are taking a downward trajectory toward the 80 mark. Nevertheless, price action appears poised for more upward traction, and traders can anticipate a move toward the 1.3600 threshold.

AUD/USD: Bullish

AUD/USD saw a pullback over the past two sessions as the price rose through the 0.6700 threshold. However, the ongoing session has brought the market to test the previously broken support level. Nevertheless, the session is still occurring above most of the GMMA lines.

The Stochastic RSI lines are still oriented upwards, indicating that the price retracement for the ongoing session hasn’t erased the gains recorded in the previous session. Therefore, it stands that the market may resume an upward path above the 0.6700 price level, targeting the 0.6750 threshold.

EUR/JPY: Bearish

Bears continue to dominate the EUR/JPY market, as price action trails below the 157.00 threshold. The major FX pair fell through the mentioned support three sessions ago and has been trading below that mark.

Consequently, price activity now lies below all the GMMA lines, while the ongoing session suggests that bears are intensifying their momentum. Similarly, the Stochastic RSI lines are dragging in the oversold region as headwinds continue to pummel the major FX pair. At this point, traders can anticipate a break below the 155.00 threshold ahead of the new week.

USD/JPY: Bearish

Similar to the EUR/JPY, the USD/JPY market has also fallen further below the 144.00 price level. Recently, the major FX pair fell below the 144.93 support level and has continued downward toward lower support levels.

The last price candle suggests that downward forces have grown stronger and are ready to break the 140.00 threshold. Additionally, the Stochastic RSI seems aligned with the notion that downward forces will push the market lower. Therefore, it appears that a target at the 140.00 threshold is realistic.
