BTCUSD - The pair remains under pressure

Regulatory pressure on the digital sector is growing: consistent claims against Kraken, Binance, and Paxos, the issuer of USDP and Binance USD BUSD stablecoins, as well as information about the possibility of banning staking and access of individuals to the digital dollar make experts fear worsening business conditions and additional outflow of investments from the sector. The most pessimistic representatives of the crypto community believe that the current situation may lead to the withdrawal of digital companies from the United States to countries more loyal to the industry. Recently, the head of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Gary Gensler, reaffirmed that almost all cryptocurrencies, except for BTC, can be recognized as securities since they offer investors a profit using the efforts of intermediaries. The official also questioned the ability of digital assets to act as a store of value or payment mechanism and hinted at a further increase in the activity of the regulator.

The trading instrument regained some of its lost positions and is now near the middle line of Bollinger Bands 23400, but the resumption of growth to 25000 (Murrey level [8/8]), 26562.5 (Murrey level [+1/8]) will become possible if it consolidates above the level 24000. The key “bearish” level is 23000, and its breakdown will give the prospect of further decline to 21875 (Murrey level [6/8]), 20312.5 (Murrey level [5/8]).

Technical indicators do not give a single signal: Bollinger bands are horizontal, the MACD histogram is decreasing in the positive zone, but Stochastic is reversing upwards.

Resistance levels: 24000, 25000, 26562.5 | Support levels: 23000, 21875, 20312.5

GBPUSD

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak met at Windsor with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen today to discuss Brexit. more precisely, to discuss the so-called Northern Ireland protocol. This is one of the final outstanding issues preventing the Brexit chapter from closing. Rishi Sunak is set to deliver a statement on discussions to the UK Chamber of Commons at 6:30 pm GMT. However, there is a lot of confusion around the outcome of talks.

Steve Baker, British Minister of State for Northern Ireland and a Brexit hardliner, asked by reporters as he left Downing Street 10 said that Prime Minister Sunak was at a cusp of securing a fantastic deal. Later, the media reported that Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) of Northern Ireland liked the deal and is ready to accept it soon. However, this optimism was put under question later on when DUP leader Donaldson told reporters that he is neither positive, nor negative on the outcome of talks and that his party will need to take time to analyze the proposal and how it answers DUP's concerns.

https://www.linkpicture.com/q/gbpusd_5.png

Having said that, there is a lot of uncertainty and the statement from Sunak at 8:30 pm GMT today may be simply an update rather than an announcement. Nevertheless, GBP has traded higher throughout the day and is the best performing G10 currency at press time. Taking a look at GBPUSD chart at D1 interval, we can see that the pair bounced off the support zone marked with 38.2% retracement of the downward move launched in mid-2021. However, it should be said that a bulk of this move was driven by USD weakening following disappointing durable orders data for January at 1:30 pm GMT.

Bitcoin

Cryptocurrencies at the start of the week are trying to make up for declines from the weekend, when Bitcoin retreated below $23,000 on a wave of disappointing  for bulls PCE US inflation data. But today Wall Street indices rise again.

Despite media reports of a possible global ban on cryptocurrencies being analyzed by the International Monetary Fund and the Financial Stability Board, former World Bank president and IMF chief Georgieva indicated that rather than resorting to a global ban, regulators will work to create an appropriate regulatory framework, taking into account the popularity of cryptocurrencies in emerging economies. In the wake of a softening extreme regulatory spectrum and a rebound on exchange floors, with Bitcoin trading near $23,800, other cryptocurrencies are also trying to rebound.

List of the most gaining cryptocurrencies. Leading the way are the intensely oversold NEO, DYDX and Maker on Friday.

https://www.linkpicture.com/q/btc-2_3.png

Cryptocurrency-based investment products saw outflows last week, after investors moved funds into funds betting on Bitcoin declines.

Positive U.S. economic data and the prospect of more Fed rate hikes dampened risk demand, weighing on cryptocurrencies. Funds betting on BTC declines saw inflows totaling $10 million in the week ended February 24, according to CoinShares, compared to an outflow of $12 million from funds betting on a rise in the BTC price (the third weekly decline in a row). Positive fund inflows were registered by CoinShares for Polygon, Solana and Cardano with slightly negative ones for Ethereum.

The CoinShares report highlighted the most important short-term risks for the industry are the controversy over regulations planned for implementation in 2023, the position of the SEC - whose head Gary Gensler says that of all cryptocurrencies, only Bitcoin is a 'digital commodity' and may not fall under its jurisdiction, and investor sensitivity to macroeconomic data. , which have recently disappointed bulls by casting doubt on the disinflationary trend.

USDCHF Rebounds from the Resistance

USDCHF pair bounced downwards clearly after testing the bullish channel’s resistance that appears on the chart, to approach the key support 0.9316, noticing that stochastic got rid of its negative momentum to show oversold signals now, while the EMA50 provides positive support to the price.

https://www.linkpicture.com/q/usdchf_8.png

Therefore, we believe that the chances valid to resume the correctional bullish trend, which targets 0.9475 as a next station, reminding you that the continuation of the bullish wave requires holding above 0.9316.

EURUSD

Flash CPI reports for February from France and Spain were released today at 7:45 am GMT and 8:00 am GMT, respectively. Expectations were for a slight acceleration in French headline price growth and a slight slowdown in Spanish price growth. French data turned out to be higher-than-expected and provided some support for EUR while pushing European indices, like DE30, slightly lower.  Spanish reading further magnified those moves as it showed price growth accelerating in spite of an expected slowdown.

France
Annual: 6.2% YoY vs 6.1% YoY expected (6.0% YoY previously)
Monthly: +0.9% MoM vs +0.7% MoM expected (+0.4% MoM previously)

Spain
Annual: 6.1% YoY vs 5.7% YoY expected (5.9% YoY previously)
Monthly: +1.0% MoM vs +0.9% MoM expected (-0.4% MoM previously)

Those releases offer an important insight but, as far as market reaction is concerned, the best is yet to come. German CPI reading for February, the most closely watched one in Europe, will be released tomorrow at 1:00 pm GMT and is expected to show a slowdown from 8.7 to 8.5% YoY. Release of ECB minutes scheduled for Thursday, 12:30 pm GMT also has a scope to move EUR.

EURUSD

EURUSD caught a bid following French and Spanish CPI data and retested the 1.06 mark. However, no decisive break higher was made yet.

DE30

Gold

During today's session gold price bounced off recent lows above the $1,800 an ounce mark, a level not seen since December 2022. Upward move gained steam after publication of latest Conference Board consumer confidence figures.  Price is currently approaching crucial support at $1830, which is marked with previous price reactions, upper limit of local 1:1 structure and 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the upward wave started in March 2020.  Should break lower occur, upward move may accelerate towards the key resistance zone between $1868 - 1875 an ounce. On the  other hand, if sellers manage to halt declines around $1830 level, another downward impulse may be launched towards psychological support at $1800.

AUDCAD

The AUDCAD pair ended the correctional bearish rebound by testing the key support 0.9105, to form solid obstacle against the negative trades, noticing the activation of the bullish track by reaching 0.9200.

https://www.linkpicture.com/q/audcad_1.png

Note that the frequent consolidation above the EMA50 and stochastic attempt to provide the positive momentum allow us to keep the bullish overview, to expect targeting 0.9240 followed by attempting to press on the initial barrier at 0.9310 in order to find a way to resume the bullish trades.

XRPUSD - Pending decision on SEC lawsuit

This week, the XRPUSD pair resumed growth after the negative dynamics last Friday, which developed against the backdrop of the release of January data on the price index of personal consumption expenditures in the United States: the figure rose from 5.3% to 5.4% YoY. The increase in value reinforced the fears of experts in the continuation of the tightening cycle of the regulator's monetary policy, which supported the dollar and put pressure on alternative assets. On the background of these data, the price dropped to the area of 0.3655 but now it has returned to the middle line of Bollinger bands around 0.3800.

The situation on the market remains uncertain as investors await the final decision on the suit of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) against Ripple, which should follow soon. The agency insists that the XRP coin, like other cryptocurrencies, except for BTC, is an unregistered security. Corporation lawyers reject the accusations, stating the imperfection of the current definition of the concept of "security" and referring to the statements of the former head of the SEC, William Hinman, who claimed that the ETH token, similar to XRP, is not one. Experts believe that Ripple has a high chance of winning the process. They note that the SEC had previously initiated a similar lawsuit against blockchain platform LBRY, accusing it offering its own LBC tokens but the court ruled that LBC could only be considered a security if there was an initial coin offering (ICO). If Ripple convinces the court that there was no official initial offering, the decision could be favorable for the company, and then leading exchanges such as Coinbase and Binance will re-list XRP, and its price will rise, leveling the negative effect of American monetary policy.

https://www.linkpicture.com/q/xrp_1.png

Now, the trading instrument is close to the middle line of Bollinger bands 0.3800, consolidation above which will give the prospect of resuming growth to 0.4150 (Murrey level [+1/8]) and 0.4330 (Fibonacci correction 23.6%). The key “bearish” level is 0.3662 (Murrey level [7/8]), a breakdown of which will provide a decline to 0.3418, 0.3662 (Murrey level [6/8]).

Resistance levels: 0.38, 0.415, 0.433 | Support levels: 0.3662, 0.3418

AUDJPY

AUDJPY has been trading sideways in recent days but the pair may be heading for a breakout  from this short-term lull today. Release of much better than expected official PMIs from China supported market sentiment during the Asian trading session and is also providing support for indices from the Old Continent at the beginning of the European cash session today. However, AUDJPY has already given back some gains following the initial rally as investors are having second thoughts.

There are 2 factors at play for AUDJPY today. The first one is the aforementioned release of official Chinese PMIs. The second one, is a release of not so encouraging data from the Australian economy. The Australian GDP report for Q4 2022 showed growth of 0.5% QoQ, which was weaker than the 0.7% QoQ median estimate from economists. Moreover, Australian CPI data for January showed a quite significant slowdown from 8.4 to 7.4% YoY while markets expected a deceleration to 8.1% YoY. Weaker than expected GDP growth and bigger than expected slowdown in CPI inflation gives Reserve Bank of Australia some room to justify slowing or pausing the rate hike cycle.

https://www.linkpicture.com/q/audjpy.png

Taking a look at AUDJPY chart at D1 interval, we can see that the pair has been trading in a short-term upward channel since mid-December 2022. The pair made two attempts at breaking above the 93.00 resistance zone recently but have later pulled back following a failure. After around a week of trading sideways in the 91.70 area, we are seeing some action from AUDJPY bulls today. However, it should be noted that both - upper and lower - wicks of recent daily candlesticks have been quite large. This means that it cannot be ruled out that we will see reversal of today's gains later into the day and painting of another doji-like candlestick, signaling persisting indecisiveness.

NZDUSD

The NZDUSD pair rallied upwards to breach the bearish channel’s resistance and head towards testing the most important resistance at 0.6290, and we prefer to stay aside until the price confirms its situation according to this level, as continuing the rise and breaching it will push the price to achieve additional gains that start by visiting 0.6385 areas, while consolidating below it will press on the price to resume the correctional bearish wave that its targets begin by testing 0.6140.

https://www.linkpicture.com/q/nzdusd_6.png

The expected trading range for today is between 0.6180 support and 0.6280 resistance.

EURCHF

The EURCHF pair took advantage of the stability of the additional support at 0.9860 to push it above the EMA50, achieving clear gains by reaching 1.0032, these factors confirm surrendering to the domination of the bullish bias, noting that stochastic positive momentum signals will assist to resume the bullish rally, to expect targeting 1.0080 followed by pressing on the additional barrier at 1.0145 as a next target for the bullish bias.

EURGBP

EUR could be on the move later today when the CPI report for February from the euro area and ECB minutes are released at 10:00 am GMT and 12:30 pm GMT, respectively. CPI reading may draw more attention as it will be more timely - keep in mind that ECB minutes will be a recap of discussions from around 3 weeks ago and therefore views included may be outdated. In fact, many ECB members have struck a hawkish tone since the latest meeting with ECB President Lagarde saying this morning that a 50 bp rate hike at the March meeting is still on the table. This has provided some support for EUR this morning and put some pressure on European equities. Lagarde also said that she does not expect recession in the euro area and that inflation should start to slow from march due to base effects.

https://www.linkpicture.com/q/eurgbp_3.png

Taking a look at EURGBP chart at D1 interval, we can see that the pair has climbed to the 0.8900 resistance zone yesterday. An attempt to break above was made today on the back of Lagarde's comments but those gains were already erased. Nevertheless, another attempt cannot be ruled out given two potential EUR-volatility events later in the day (CPI and ECB minutes). Also the pair may see some action during speeches from ECB Schnabel (12:30 pm GMT), BoE Tenreyro (1:00 pm GMT) and BoE Pill (3:00 pm GMT).

Crude oil price breached 77.40 level clearly to trade at 78.00 barrier now, reinforcing the expectations of continuing the bullish trend for the rest of the day, and the way is open to achieve our first target at 78.90, reminding you that breaching it will push the price to 80.40 as a next main target, while holding above 77.40 represents key condition to continue the expected rise, which gets good positive support by the EMA50.

We remind you that the bullish scenario will remain valid as long as 144.00 forms additional support line, and stochastic attempt to crawl towards the overbought areas, allowing us to wait to surpass the current obstacle and manage to reach the next main target at 146.50.

https://www.linkpicture.com/q/usdcad_7.png

Therefore, the bearish bias will be suggested for today, noting that the expected decline is temporary, waiting to resume the bullish wave that its targets begin by testing 1.3680 level. On the other hand, we should note that breaching 1.3630 will stop the suggested negative scenario for today and lead the price to recover again.

Bitcoin

Cryptocurrencies are on watch as potentially another collapse is brewing on the markets. Concerns are mounting over the financial condition of Silvergate Bank, a bank that specializes in cryptocurrency transactions. Silvergate warned in a filing on Wednesday that recent losses that the bank has experienced may leave it with less capital than it needs. Company also said that it failed to meet the deadline to submit its annual report to the US Securities and Exchange Commission.

Reaction was quick with hedge funds, partners and investors pulling out from the Bank, leading to a collapse in its share price. Cryptocurrency companies, like for example Coinbase, stop accepting and initiating payments to or from Silvergate. However, some companies, like for example BitStamp, warned that they cannot be held responsible for any funds deposited at Silvergate accounts, signaling to clients that they decide to use Silvergate accounts at their own risk.

https://www.linkpicture.com/q/bitcoin.png

Whole situation is putting pressure on cryptocurrencies with major coins dropping 3-7% today. Taking a look at the BITCOIN chart at the D1 interval, we can see that the coin is testing a major support zone today. The $22,450 area is marked with previous price reactions as well as the lower limit of a local market geometry. A break below would, at least in theory, hint at a short-term trend reversal. In such a scenario, declines could deepen with sellers targeting the next support zone in-line - $21,200 area marked with previous price reactions and 100-period Exponential Moving Average (green line).
