Sberbank fell slightly in last week's trading session in a correction to the bullish movement that started two weeks ago

The bullish trend is likely to continue, supported by the moving averages 7-50 who are heading to the positive cross, near the Fibonacci retracement of 23.6% at 193.85

The Stochastic is moving sideways in the overbought area, supporting the upside move, but it should be noted that in the event of any cross between the two lines of the indicator leaving the region may lead to a correction in the price movement towards the support levels 191.36

Signal

Having sensed the market’s bullish attitude, hedge funds and speculators keep expanding their long position presence. It’s high time you, too, made your profit after the rebound, while it’s not too late. And it will surely happen! The system of indicators used successfully by 973 traders in 17 countries is now available to you. It promptly demonstrated a reversal at the important number 50 and suggested at which levels to buy.

(weekly chart)

As for when will it happen, the answer is provided by the fundamental background. Something is already implied in the price: trade war ceasefire which is curbing the demand for raw materials in China and other growing economies and the reduced export within OPEC+ deal on the part of Russia, Saudi Arabia and other countries. What will support the rebound? First of all, it’s the dynamics of the slate industry in the US and Trump’s desire to stabilize prices.

Benchmark

Besides, it’s interesting that the Brent quotation is formed not as a price of clean oil of this North Sea oil type, but as a basket containing five oil classifications: Brent, Osoberg, Ekofisk, Troll and Fortis. Physical sales transactions involving it are registered in the OTC system Platts. 70% of all trades in the world’s oil market today are priced using Brent as a benchmark, but only 5% of all oil contracts in the futures market are backed by real physical volumes, and now it’s harmful for the oil industry players (they created it to hedge transactions), as the producers and consumers are interested in stable prices, while speculators want the market to be as volatile as possible. And they will not miss the coming opportunity! It’s all just beginning, join in!

EURUSD

The pair is still in uptrend as the Fed is expected to stop interest rate hikes. Today’s US consumer inflation data may trigger its further growth. If the data confirms the trend of slower inflation, the pair may continue its local growth.

Trading recommendations:

If the pair goes above 1.1535, it may continue further up to 1.1615.

Amazon was unable to break the 1678 resistance level as the price fluctuated between 1592 and 1678 resistance

The price is moving above the moving averages which support the price to re-test the resistance level again, and this is what we saw during the last two sessions as the price indicators push the price higher.

We see a bullish cross between SMA 7 and SMA 50, so this cross will create a positive pressure on the price and push it higher and retest the aforementioned resistance level.

Stochastic is moving sideways within the oversold area. Try to break out of it, but it does not succeed. Therefore, it can be reflected on the price and give it the momentum to rise.

Trading range between support 1592 and resistance 1978

Support and resistance:

Support: 1592-1481

Resistance: 1678-1766

The price of gold in the European market rose on Friday to rise again, on the verge of reaching the barrier of $ 1,300 an ounce, supported by the decline of the US dollar against a basket of currencies, and affected by the minutes of the recent meeting of the Federal Reserve.

Gold prices rose by 0.8% as of 08:25 GMT to trade at $ 1,293.00 per ounce from the opening level of $ 1,286.26, and recorded a high of $ 1,294.05 and a low of $ 1,286.00.

The dollar index fell 0.1% on Thursday, continuing its losses for the second day in a row, reaching a three-month low of 94.62 points, reflecting the continued decline of the US currency against a basket of currencies, which favors the rise in prices of gold and other metals priced in US dollars .

The fall of the US dollar under pressure is twice as likely to raise US interest rates this year, especially after the minutes of the Federal Reserve's last meeting, published earlier on Wednesday.

The record showed that many US monetary policymakers support a stable interest rate this year and any rate hike will depend only on economic data.

Technical Analysis

Gold kept steady above 1286.70 after yesterday's test to resume positive trading, noting that Stochastic is offering a positive cross signal that we expect the pair to stimulate further gains in the coming sessions.

Therefore, the bullish trend will remain effective for the day provided stability above 1286.70, with the reminder that our next main target resides at 1316.65.

The trading range for today is expected among the support at 1280.00 and resistance at 1316.00

Support and resistance:

Support: 1286.8-1275.00-1266.50

Resistance: 1301.00-1318.00- 1350.00

The general trend for today is bullish

The British pound fell during the US session to see its rebound since the end of last December against the US dollar following developments and economic data released by the British economy and its counterpart, the US economy, the world's largest economy.

Today, in the Asian session, the GBPUSD pair rose 0.1% to 1.2752 compared to the opening levels at 1.2745 after recording a low of 1.2736 and a high of 1.2766.

Technical Analysis

The GBPUSD pair did not show any strong movement yesterday, to keep fluctuating around SMA 50, so we do not change our bullish outlook based on stability above 1.2725 as a precondition, awaiting the move towards 1.2962 which is our next major stop.

Stochastic fluctuates within the oversold area and therefore any exit from this area will push us to see further bearishness on the GBPUSD pair

The trading range for today is expected among 1.2700 support and 1.2860 resistance

Support and resistance:

Support: 1.2713-1.2638-1.2585

Resistance: 1.2780-1.2860

The general trend for today is bullish

The single currency returned to the greenback against the US dollar after we saw its decline in the last session and completed the upward trend started a week ago, before the economic data for today.

Today, in the Asian session, the EURUSD rose 0.31% to 1.1525, compared with the opening at 1.1498, after reaching a high of 1.1529, while reaching a low of 1.1494.

Yesterday, we saw the European Central Bank's bulletin as the minutes of the European Central Bank's December 13-14 meeting on policy published on Thursday showed members saw risks to the current outlook escalate and might require a gradual shift in direction in early 2018.

Last month, the ECB left interest rates on major refinancing and interest rates on sub lending facilities. Deposit facilities did not change at 0.00%, 0.25% and 0.40%, respectively.

It also confirmed that its asset purchase program would halve to 30 billion euros ($ 35.8 billion) a month from January and would continue until the end of September or later if necessary.

"The risks surrounding the outlook for activity have remained broadly balanced with high risk in the near term," the document revealed.

On the other hand, on the US side, we are waiting for the CPI, which is likely to maintain the same reading of 2.2%. The CPI, excluding food and energy, was also released, which is likely to maintain the same reading of 0.2%

Technical Analysis

The day starts with a bullish bias to move away from the 1.1500 level gradually, supporting the chances of resuming the expected bullish trend for the coming period, targeting 1.1705 as a next stop.

SMA 50 continues to support the suggested bullish wave, with a reminder that 1.1500 break will press the price to test the 1.1443 level before any new attempt to rise.

Stochastic is moving in a sideways path within the overbought area with a conservative uptrend

The trading range for today is among the key support at 1.1450 and resistance at 1.1630

Support and resistance:

Support: 1.15000-11443-1.1386

Resistance: 1.1550-11585-1.1630

The general trend for today is bullish

AUDUSD is resuming its positive trading session to begin attempts to surpass our first target of 0.7200 and get positive support from SMA 50, which will enhance chances of further upside in the coming sessions, where our next target is at 0.7335.

Therefore, we are waiting for further bullishness for the day provided stability above 0.7145.

The trading range for today is among the key support at 0.7145 and resistance at 0.7280

Support and resistance:

Support: 0.7142-0.7044

Resistance: 0.72430.7367

The general trend for today is bullish

EURUSD

The pair is in downtrend against the background of the full-on decline of USD rate due to the growing expectations of the Fed pausing the interest rate hikes this year.

The price is above the middle Bollinger band, above SMA 5 and SMA 14. RSI is in the overbought territory and is moving horizontally. Stoch have also entered this zone.

Trading recommendations:

If the pair remains above 1.1545, it may go further up to 1.1615.
