Trading Setups / Chart in Focus:
EURUSD
The EURUSD pushed higher today, continuing its ascent from the bullish pin bar that formed last Thursday rejecting 1.3000 support. We see near-term resistance coming in near 1.3320, if price rotates lower in the near-term, traders could watch support near 1.3050 – 1.3000 for potential price action buy signals. Beyond 1.3320, we see the next resistance near 1.3500. As long as price remains above 1.2975 on a closing basis, we are taking a bullish bias on this market.
Gold
The spot gold market pin bar setup that we discussed in Friday’s commentary has broken modestly higher today. As long as price remains above the low of the pin bar we see the possibility for a larger move higher. We see near-term resistance near $1750.00, if price can clear this level the next resistance is seen at $1800.00
