Today’s Trade Ideas
Gold XAUUSD beat 2018 this week for our buy signal to hit the next target of 2029/30 & even reached 2051. Outlook remains positive so on a break above 2053 we are likely to retest the all time high at 2069/2072. A daily close above here would be the next buy signal.
We dipped to support at 2045/40 yesterday & held above 2035 so bulls appear to remain in control this morning. However a break lower today risks a slide to to support at 2015/10. Longs need stops below 2005.
Silver XAGUSD traded sideways for 6 days and then beat the upper end of the range late on Friday for a buy signal targeting 2465/70, 2480/85, 2500 & my next target of 2520/25 (hit yesterday as predicted). A high for the day exactly at this target but further gains look like towards 2550/60 before the end of the week.
We should have support again at 2490/80 after we saw a low for the day exactly here. Longs need stops below 2470. A break lower risks a slide to a buying opportunity at 2420/10 & longs need stops below 2390.
We also caught a low for the day in EURUSD but selling USDJPY was more challenging.
The first sell order at 147.20/30 was stopped (and now we are trading below that level) & then we held 10 pips from 148.00 – you know my outlook for the pair is negative & has been for 2 weeks so I hope some how you are still holding a short position.
I am sure you remember I have downside targets as far as 146.00 & even 140.00 is not out of the question.
GBPUSD buying opportunity unfortunately missed by 12 pips yesterday but I am sticking with that level today.
AUDUSD should have very strong support at 6590/80 in the short term bull trend.
NZDUSD made a low for the day exactly at the buying opportunity at 6140/30.
Unfortunately I made a mess of the GBPJPY trade & got us in too early…the pair has fallen back below the sell level. I am going to leave this and watch.
