Daily Forex Technical Strategy Tues 03 Dec

EUR/USD – Sideways

click to enlarge chart

• The pair has inched down lower to test the 14 Nov 2019 minor swing low of 1.0990 before it rebounded back towards the minor range resistance of 1.1090 in place since 06 Nov 2019.
• The hourly RSI oscillator has started to inch down from an extreme overbought level which indicates that yesterday’s push up reinforced by U.S. President Trump’s tweets on reinstating steel tariffs on Brazil and Argentina imports and a weaker ISM manufacturing PMI for Oct is likely to be overextended. Thus, it may see a push down to retest 1.0990.
• Since it is trading within a minor range configuration in the middle of a major descending resistance from 24 Sep 2018 high, prefer to turn neutral now between 1.1090 and 1.0990. A clearance above 1.1090 sees a push up towards the 1.1180 major descending resistance while a break with an hourly close below 1.0990 resumes the potential down move towards 1.0940 follow by 1.0880.

GBP/USD – Back at minor range resistance

• The pair has continued to evolve within a minor “Expanding Wedge”/sideways range configuration in place since 21 Oct 2019 high with its hourly RSI oscillator that has just retreated from its overbought region and a corresponding resistance that is in parallel with the “Expanding Wedge” resistance at 1.2975.
• Maintain bearish bias below 1.2975 key short-term pivotal resistance for a potential push down to retest the minor range support/lower boundary of the “Expanding Wedge” at 1.2790. On the other hand, a break with an hourly close above 1.2975 revives the bullish tone for another round of impulsive upleg sequence to target the next intermediate resistance at 1.3210/3240 (3 Apr/03 May 2019 swing high area & Fibonacci expansion).

USD/JPY – Potential final push up towards “Ascending Wedge” top

• Yesterday’s slide from its recent minor swing high of 109.70 printed on 02 Dec has managed to stall just above the lower boundary of the minor bearish “Ascending Wedge” now acting as a support at 108.70 with the hourly RSI oscillator that has just rebounded from an extreme oversold level.
• 108.70 key short-term pivotal support for a potential final push up to retest 109.70 before targeting the “Ascending Wedge” top/resistance at 110.00/15. On the other hand, a break with an hourly close below 108.70 shall trigger a bearish breakdown from the “Ascending Wedge” to kickstart a potential multi-week corrective down move towards the next near-term support at 107.90 in the first step.

• The pair has staged a push up from the 28/29 Nov 2019 minor swing low area of 0.6755 before it stalled at the minor descending trendline resistance from 05 Nov 2019 high and the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of recent slide from 31 Oct high to 29 Nov 2019 low.
• In addition, the hourly RSI oscillator has started to retreat from an extreme overbought level. Maintain bearish bias below 0.6845 key short-term pivotal resistance for another potential push down to retest 0.6755 and below exposes 0.6720 next (09/16 Oct 2019 swing low areas).
• On the other hand, a clearance with an hourly close above 0.6845 negates the bearish tone for squeeze up to retest 0.6900/6930 (31 Oct/05 Nov 2019 swing high & the major descending channel resistance from 03 Dec 2018 high).
