EURUSD Gets New Positive Signal 

The EURUSD pair resumes its positive trading after the temporary decline that it witnessed in the previous sessions, reinforcing the expectations of continuing the bullish trend, motivated by the positive overlapping signal provided by stochastic now, waiting to visit 1.0915 as a next main target.

The EMA50 continues to support the suggested bullish wave, which will remain valid as long as 1.0745 level remains intact. The expected trading range for today is between 1.0790 support and 1.0950 resistance.

Crude Oil - Growth is possible.

If the assumption is correct, the asset will grow to the area of 93.25–100.50. In this scenario, critical stop loss level is 72.45.

BTCUSD - Monetary factors support the growth of "digital gold"

The main support for the entire cryptocurrency sector was provided by monetary factors. After the release on Thursday of the December data on US consumer inflation, which recorded a new slowdown in its growth rate from 7.1% to 6.5% on an annualized basis, investors became stronger in the opinion that the US Fed will also adjust the rate of interest rate hike to 25.0 percentage points, putting pressure on the quotes of the national currency. As a result, the positions of alternative assets, including digital ones, have strengthened. It should be noted that the current trend is in line with the forecasts of the well-known crypto enthusiast, the head of Galaxy Digital, Michael Novogratz, who at the beginning of last year said that the digital asset market would restore positive dynamics after the American regulator retreats from the policy of sharp monetary tightening. Further positive for the sector was the news that the FTX bankruptcy team was able to restore access to the company's assets of about 5.0B dollars, which could provide investors with a significant part of the losses.

However, despite a number of positive factors, the further recovery of BTC positions does not look sustainable, as the position of the cryptocurrency industry as a whole remains difficult. The decline in trading volumes on the leading centralized exchanges continues, in December alone, the number of spot trading decreased by 42.8% at once, and of futures – by 47.6% compared to November. The difficult financial situation caused by a protracted fall in prices last year is forcing companies to optimize costs and reduce staff. Thus, the Coinbase platform announced plans to lay off 950 employees, which is about 20.0% of the staff. Cryptocurrency company ConsenSys intends to lay off about 100 employees, and cryptocurrency wallet operator Blockchain.com – 110. In addition, additional problems for the industry may be created by a new lawsuit by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) against the Gemini site and the Genesis credit service, which, according to the regulator, are guilty of unregistered sale of securities to investors.

Technically, the price is testing the resistance zone of 21000 - 21250 (Murray level [+1/8], Fibo retracement 61.8%), consolidation above it will give the prospect of further growth to the levels of 22500 (Murray level [+2/8]) and 25000 (Murray level [0/8] for W1). If the level of 20000 (Murray level [8/8], Fibo retracement 50.0%) is broken down, the decline will be able to resume to the area of 19100 (Fibo retracement 38.2%) and 17830 (Fibo retracement 23.6%).

Resistance levels: 21250, 22500, 25000 | Support levels: 20000, 19100, 17830

USDCHF Loses Momentum

The USDCHF pair fluctuates at the EMA50, noticing that stochastic loses its positive momentum clearly, waiting to motivate the price to resume the negative trading that its targets begin by breaking 0.9215 to open the way to visit 0.9150 followed by 0.9100 levels.

Therefore, we will continue to suggest the bearish trend for the upcoming period unless breaching 0.9330 and holding above it. The expected trading range for today is between 0.9170 support and 0.9300 resistance.

AUDUSD Awaits more Rise

The AUDUSD pair faced temporary negative pressure in the previous sessions to lean on the intraday support line that appears on the chart and begins rising now, accompanied by witnessing positive signals through stochastic, waiting to motivate the price to provide more positive trades on the intraday and short term basis, reminding you that our next target is located at 0.7080.

Therefore, our bullish overview will remain valid conditioned by the price stability above 0.6915. The expected trading range for today is between 0.6920 support and 0.7040 resistance. 

GBPUSD Technical Analysis

ETHUSD - Technical analysis

The price left the sideways range of 1325 – 1090, where it had been trading for about two months, and reached 1566.40. Further growth of quotations is possible around November highs to 1650, the breakdown of which may cause an increase around 1875 (Murrey level [3/8] for W1). If 1500 (Murrey level [8/8]) is broken down, the decline may resume to 1375 (Murrey level [6/8], Fibonacci retracement 50.0%) and 1312.5 (Murrey level [5/8], Fibonacci retracement 38 .2%, the middle line of Bollinger bands).

Resistance levels: 1650, 1875 | Support levels: 1500, 1375, 1312.5

USDCHF - Growth is possible

On the daily chart, the third wave of the higher level 3 develops, within which the upward first wave (1) of 3 formed, and a downward correction ended as the second wave (2) of 3. Now, the wave C of (2) has ended, and the development of the upward wave (3) of 3 has started, within which the first entry wave of the lower level i of 1 of (3) has formed.

AUDUSD - Australian construction sector remains under pressure

Significant problems in the national economy constrain the positive dynamics of the Australian currency: another negative signal came from the real estate sector, where the Q4 total volume of commissioning of new housing decreased by 5.2% to 45.489K, and the indicator in the private sector – by 4.9 % to 28.895K. Construction in other housing projects fell by 5.2%, amounting to 15.618K, and the total cost of work performed in the industry increased by 1.5%, reaching 30.6B Australian dollars. After the June reversal of the trend, the indicators of the construction sector are declining, approaching the historical lows of the pandemic 2020.

On the daily chart of the asset, the trading instrument is moving within a narrow upward corridor, rising in the direction of the resistance line, and the technical indicators strengthen the buy signal.

Resistance levels: 0.7048, 0.7257 | Support levels: 0.6915, 0.6719
