The EURUSD has advanced considerably over the past several weeks, and the long-awaited correction still hasn't arrived. The greenback is still reeling from the massively disappointing U.S. employment data for April, which drove the pair even higher on Friday. [...]

The EURUSD rebounded from the recent peak following a sizable global resurgence of new Covid-19 cases. Uncertainty is on the rise yet again amidst the new global wave causing an uptick in confirmed cases despite the global vaccine rollout. As a result of that, demand for the weakened dollar is growing swiftly, as investors seek refuge against pandemic uncertainty. [...]

The GBPUSD has been flexing muscles over the past several days as the pair recuperated from the last dip. The price action is currently establishing a new upswing, testing the upper boundary of a major Flag pattern. If it manages to break out higher, this could very likely confirm the strong bullish pressure in the market. Such a turn of events would also signify the potential continuation of the previous [...]

The EURUSD is consolidating ahead of the March Non-Farm Payrolls in the U.S, similarly to the behaviour of the GBPUSD. Additionally, the pair's price action appears somewhat subdued today because of low trading activity (today is Good Friday, a major Holiday in Western Europe and the U.S.). Traders should keep in mind that low liquidity oftentimes leads to adverse fluctuations because of a lack of general [...]

The GBPUSD is forming a new downtrend, despite the fact that the pound, bolstered by robust economic data in the U.K., continues to show resilience to the mounting bearish pressure. That is why other currency pairs involving the greenback have already dived more than the cable has, but even the GBPUSD is starting to be affected by changing market sentiment more noticeably. [...]

Despite the successful vaccination process in the U.S., the underlying recovery is still uneven. The impact of the pandemic continues to be sporadic and bumpy across different sectors of the economy.

The price of gold quite expectedly reached the 1780.00 swing peak recently, which had previously served the role of a major swing low. Hence, its function as a prominent make-it-or-break-it turning point has been established. Because of that, the timing seems perfect for the development of a new bearish correction. [...]

The price of WTI continues to trade around the psychologically significant resistance level at 60.00 in anticipation of another directional movement. Following the completion of a massive bullish uptrend recently, the commodity's price has begun to consolidate as bearish pressure ramps up. This can potentially be perceived as the early stage in the development of a new downtrend, provided that the bears manage [...]

The price of gold recently rebounded from the 61.8 per cent Fibonacci retracement level at 1690.36 and has been consolidating above it since the middle of March. This is significant news for a number of reasons. Firstly, the 61.8 per cent benchmark represents the final Fibonacci threshold in a sequence (it follows the 23.6 and the 38.2 per cent marks), which means that the price action currently finds itself [...]

The underlying supply and demand equilibrium in the energy market is currently changing.

German stocks have been rallying over the past couple of weeks, ever since the publication of the latest industrial numbers in Germany, which proved to be quite robust. The rally of the DAX was further supported by the recuperation of the euro over the last several days. Despite the persisting bullish bias as of late, however, the DAX index's uptrend, which currently finds itself near its all-time high, looks [...]

The German DAX index received a major boost last week from the country's overwhelmingly positive manufacturing and services numbers for the previous month. Germany continues to grapple with the coronavirus pandemic because of persisting problems with its vaccination plans; however, the biggest economy in the Eurozone benefits from a global pickup in economic activity. [...]

The tech sector in the U.S. retreats while the dollar advances. The contributing factors are many, but several key developments warrant closer inspection. Firstly, global demand is currently falling, which is evident in the energy market and in the price of crude oil. Secondly, investors' sentiment was shaken recently owing to the vaccine-rollout tribulations and the adamantly dovish stance of the FED on [...]

German stocks are struggling to continue driving the existing rally higher in the midst of the latest global developments. As a result of that, the DAX index is still unable to break out above the psychologically significant resistance at 14000.000, after several failed attempts. The future of the bullish market is jeopardised by shifting investors' sentiment. U.S. Treasury yields recently picked up from [...]

The biggest bank in the U.S. is scheduled to release quarterly earnings data for Q4 of 2020 today before the market open. JPMorgan Chase's stock currently finds itself on an 8-days long bullish run ahead of today's numbers, which begs the question of just how much longer could this run be extended before a correction takes place? [...]

The analysis for today examines the price action of Merck & Co. The company is one of the largest pharmaceutical giants in the world, but its share price has remained somewhat undervalued in the recovery that followed the initial coronavirus fallout in Q1.
