    EUR/USD and EUR/JPY Could Extend Downsides
    [​IMG]

    EUR/USD started a fresh decline from the 1.0750 resistance. EUR/JPY could extend downsides if there is a move below the 136.50 support.

    Important Takeaways for EUR/USD and EUR/JPY

    • The Euro failed to clear the 1.0750 resistance and started a fresh decline.
    • There is a key bullish trend line forming with support near 1.0500 on the hourly chart.
    • EUR/JPY started a downside correction from the 138.00 resistance zone.
    • A major bearish trend line is forming with resistance near 137.20 on the hourly chart.

    EUR/USD Technical Analysis

    The Euro made a couple of attempts to clear the 1.0750 resistance zone against the US Dollar. However, the EUR/USD pair failed to gain strength above 1.0750 and started a fresh decline.

    The pair declined below the 1.0600 support and the 50 hourly simple moving average. The pair even moved below the 1.0550 support level. A low was formed near 1.0470 on FXOpen before the pair started a short-term upside correction.

    EUR/USD Hourly Chart
    [​IMG]

    There was a move above the 1.0520 resistance level. It corrected above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the key drop from the 1.0758 high to 1.0470 low.

    On the upside, the pair is facing resistance near the 1.0580 level. It is near the 38.2% Fib retracement level of the key drop from the 1.0758 high to 1.0470 low. The next major resistance is near the 1.0620 level.

    A clear break above the 1.0620 resistance could push EUR/USD towards 1.0700. If the bulls remain in action, the pair could revisit the 1.0750 resistance zone in the near term.

    On the downside, the pair might find support near the 1.0500 level. There is also a key bullish trend line forming with support near 1.0500 on the hourly chart. If there is a downside break below the 1.0500 support, the pair might accelerate lower. The next major support sits near the 1.0470 level, below which there is a risk of a larger decline.

    ETHUSD and LTCUSD Technical Analysis – 05th MAY, 2022
    [​IMG]

    ETHUSD: Bullish Engulfing Pattern above $2,750

    Ethereum was moving in a bearish phase last week and touched a low of 2,725 on May 1st, after which it entered into a consolidation channel above the $2,750 handle.

    This week, ETHUSD started moving in a bullish channel, and managed to cross the $2,900 handle in the European trading session today.

    We can clearly see a bullish engulfing pattern above $2,750 which signifies the end of a bearish trend and the start of a bullish trend.

    We can see that the price of Ethereum has retracted from its highs due to some profit taking, but the bullish channel continues, and we are aiming for the upsides of $3,100 and $3,300 this week.

    ETH is now trading just below its pivot level of 2,936 and moving in a mild bullish momentum. The price of ETHUSD is now facing its classic resistance level of 2,944, Fibonacci resistance level of 2,960, and is now aiming towards the $3,000 handle in the US trading session.

    Most of the moving averages are giving a BUY signal.

    ETH is now trading below both its 100 hourly and 200 hourly simple MAs.

    • Ethereum is in a mildly bullish channel
    • Short-term trend reversal seen above $2,750
    • All the major technical indicators are giving a NEUTRAL to BUY signal
    • The average true range is indicating LESSER market volatility


    Ether: Bullish Channel Above $2900 Confirmed
    [​IMG]

    ETHUSD has consolidated its gains above $2,900 in the European trading session, and we can clearly see that the bullish channel is back.

    We are now aiming for the upsides of $3,000 to $3,100 in today’s US trading session. The retracement from $2,721 was very strong which suggests that there is more room for the upsides in Ethereum this month, and a level of $3,500 is the next target.

    We can see the MA crossover pattern above the level of 2,850 which means that in the immediate short term we will see the continuation of the bullish channel.

    ETH has gained 2.86% with a price change of 81.25$ in the past 24hrs, and has a trading volume of 17.890 billion USD.

    We can see an increase of 36% in the trading volume as compared to yesterday which means that new buyers are entering the markets and waiting for further correction in the levels of Ethereum.

    The Week Ahead

    Ether is printing above $2,980 today, and we can see levels of $3,000 to $3,200 this week.

    The medium-to-long term outlook for Ether remains bullish with targets of above 3,500 in May.

    With the US Federal Reserve increasing its benchmark interest rate by half a percentage point, the price of Ethereum continues rising along with other top cryptocurrencies.

    Ether has already broken its major resistance level of $2,800 and is now facing the next resistance level of $3,000.

    Technical Indicators:

    The commodity channel index (14-day): at 135.24 indicating a BUY

    The moving averages convergence divergence (14-day): at 14.80 indicating a BUY

    The ultimate oscillator: at 61.44 indicating a BUY

    The rate of price change: at 3.39 indicating a BUY

    On the upside, the AUD/USD pair is facing resistance near the 0.7120 level. The next major resistance is near the 0.7150 level. A close above the 0.7150 level and the 50 hourly simple moving average could start a steady increase in the near term.

    The next major resistance could be 0.7200. On the downside, an initial support is near the 0.7085 level. The next support could be the 0.7050 level.

    If there is a downside break below the 0.7050 support, the pair could extend its decline towards the 0.7000 level. Any more downsides might send the pair toward the 0.6920 level.

    BTCUSD and XRPUSD Technical Analysis – 10th MAY 2022
    [​IMG]

    BTCUSD: Rounding Bottom Pattern Above $29,700

    Bitcoin was not able to sustain its bullish momentum last week, and after touching a high of $40,000 on May 4th, started to decline heavily against the US dollar.

    The short-selling continued pushing the price of BTC below the $30,000 handle, after which we can observe some consolidation.

    We can see a pullback in the market at levels above $30,000, which is expected to continue towards $35,000.

    We can clearly see a rounding bottom pattern above the $29,700 handle — which is a bullish reversal pattern signifying the end of a downtrend and a shift towards an uptrend.

    The Stoch and Williams percent range are indicating an overbought level which means that in the immediate short term, a decline in the prices is expected.

    The relative strength index is at 44 indicating a WEAK demand for bitcoin at the current market level.

    Bitcoin is now moving below its 100 hourly simple and 200 hourly exponential MAs.

    Some of the major technical indicators are giving a BUYsSignal, which means that in the immediate short term, we are expecting targets of $32,000 and $34,000.

    The average true range is indicating LESSER market volatility with a mildly bullish momentum.

    • Bitcoin: bullish reversal seen above $29,700
    • The StochRSI is indicating an OVERBOUGHT level
    • The price is now trading just below its pivot level of $31,810
    • Some of the moving averages are giving a BUY market signal

    Bitcoin: Bullish Reversal Seen Above $29,700
    [​IMG]

    Bitcoin has moved out of the falling trend seen last week and now continues to consolidate its gains above the $30,000 handle in the European trading session. The bounce that we have seen above $30,000 is expected to continue this week, and we are now looking at targets of $32,000 and $35,000 in the medium-term range.

    The immediate short-term outlook for bitcoin is mildly bullish; the medium-term outlook has turned neutral; the long-term outlook remains neutral under present market conditions.

    We are now looking at possible reversal and short selling at 32,946 and 34,350 as indicated by the MA50 and MA100 crossover patterns. This is further validated by an overbought level seen in the Stoch and Williams percent range.

    The price of BTCUSD is now facing its classic resistance level of $32,009, Fibonacci resistance level of $32,240 after which the path towards $34,000 will get cleared.

    In the last 24hrs, BTCUSD has declined by -5.59% with a price change of 1872$, and has a 24hr trading volume of USD 81.634 billion. We can see an increase of 111% in the trading volume as compared to yesterday, which is due to the heavy selling seen across global cryptocurrency markets.

    The Week Ahead

    The price of bitcoin touched an intraday low of $29,829 in the Asian trading session, and an intraday high of $32561 in today’s European trading session.

    The daily RSI is printing at 30 which means that the medium range demand continues to be weak. This is also an opportunity for long-term investors to enter into the markets at lower levels.

    The current market condition is suitable for entering into a BUY position with targets of $33,000 and $35,000 next week.

    The price of BTCUSD will need to remain above the important support level of $30,000 this week.

    The weekly outlook is projected at $33,000 with a consolidation zone of $32,500.

    Bitcoin Down by 50%

    The price of bitcoin touched an all-time high of $67,566 in November, 2021, and with the current market price of $31,570 marks a drop of 50% in its value.

    The ongoing global economic crisis, rise in the interest rates, the Russia-Ukraine war and its effects on the global investor sentiments are driving bitcoin to historic lows, which has led to a decline in the total market capitalization of bitcoin to $600 billion USD.

    Technical Indicators

    The StochRSI (14-day): at 74.78 indicating a BUY

    The average directional change(14-day): at 28.58 indicating a NEUTRAL level

    The rate of price change: at 1.349 indicating a BUY

    The moving averages 20: indicating a BUY

    Cryptocurrencies Under Pressure as Bitcoin’s Slide Continues
    [​IMG]

    Bitcoin is the most important cryptocurrency, and its price fluctuations influence the entire cryptocurrency market. When the price of bitcoin advances or declines, all other coins do the same.

    In other words, the thousands of other coins literally depend on what bitcoin does.

    So far this year, bitcoin has been under pressure: it opened the year around $50,000, and now threatens to drop through the $30,000 level. Only this time around, the decline in bitcoin’s price is more relevant than in the past. Nowadays, bitcoin has been adopted by market players other than retail traders.

    For years, retail traders and believers in the cryptocurrency space have hoped that institutional investors would adopt bitcoin. They have, but with increased adoption came increased risks. For example, now that bitcoin is part of numerous portfolios, it acts like the general market does. As such, the dollar’s strength in 2022 is seen in the price of bitcoin too.

    Head-and-Shoulders Pattern Points To $20,000

    One of the most powerful reversal patterns is called “head-and-shoulders”. It is formed by two shoulders and one head, resembling the human body, and it has a measured move, calculated by measuring the distance from the highest point in the pattern to the neckline, and projecting it to the downside. This is the minimum distance that the market needs to travel in order to confirm the reversal.

    In bitcoin’s case, the measured move points to a decline towards $20,000. Such a move alone is enough to put further pressure on bitcoin hodlers, but also on the financial system.

    Last week, MicroStrategy, a US-based publicly listed company that had invested heavily in bitcoin, revealed that it would receive a margin call should the price of bitcoin drop to $21,000.

    To buy its bitcoins, the company borrowed money, and now it needs to serve $2.5 billion in debt with $500 million in revenues. As such, a decline in the price of bitcoin is not a risk only for retail hodlers, but also for other financial market participants.

    To sum up, the price of bitcoin remains bearish while trading below the head-and-shoulders’ neckline. With every day that passes, the pressure mounts, and retail hodlers may be forced to liquidate just as big players are too.

    It would also be interesting to see what other big investors, such as Tesla, would do with their bitcoin holdings when the price declines below their buying price. A move below $30,000 would put pressure on Tesla, and when and if big investors flee, it might be the end of the cryptocurrency market as we know it.

    ETHUSD and LTCUSD Technical Analysis – 12th MAY, 2022
    [​IMG]

    ETHUSD: Double Top Pattern Below $2,450

    Ethereum was unable to sustain its bullish momentum last week, and after touching a high of 2,960 on May 4, started to decline heavily against the US dollar.

    We can see the continuation of the bearish momentum this week, and the decline continues pulling down the prices of Ethereum below the 1,900 handle in the European trading session today.

    The global investor sentiment is very weak, which is the cause of the massive slide in the cryptocurrency markets, including Ethereum.

    After touching an intraday low of $1,780, we can see some pullback action and a move towards the consolidation channel above the $1,800 handle.

    We can clearly see a double top pattern below the $2,450 handle, which is a bearish pattern; it signifies the end of a bullish phase and the start of a bearish phase in the markets.

    ETH is now trading just below its pivot level of 1,908 and moving into a consolidation channel. The price of ETHUSD is now testing its classic support level of 1,820 and Fibonacci support level of 1,884, after which the path towards 1,800 will get cleared.

    The relative strength index is at 35, indicating a WEAK demand for Ethereum and the continuation of the bearish trend.

    The StochRSI is indicating a neutral level which means that the prices are due to remain into a consolidation phase in the short term.

    All of the technical indicators are giving a STRONG SELL market signal.

    All of the moving averages are giving a STRONG SELL signal, and we are now looking at the levels of $1,850 to $1,800 in the short-term range.

    ETH is now trading Below both the 100 hourly and exponential MAs.

    • Ether: a bearish reversal is seen below the $2,450 mark
    • The short-term range appears to be mildly BEARISH
    • The daily RSI is below 50 at 24, indicating an OVERSOLD market
    • The average true range is indicating HIGH market volatility

    Ether: Bearish Reversal Seen Below $2,450
    [​IMG]

    ETHUSD is now moving in a mildly bearish channel with the prices trading below the $2,000 handle in the European trading session today.

    We can see an MA5 crossover pattern located at 1,884, which means that a potential bullish reversal is possible after touching these levels.

    ETHUSD is now facing its immediate support level of $1,861 and $1,841 after which we will see a linear progression towards the level of $1,800.

    The key resistance levels to watch are $1,931 and $1,976, and the prices of ETHUSD need to cross these levels for a potential bullish reversal.

    ETH has declined by 19.67% with a price change of 468.56$ in the past 24hrs and has a trading volume of 54.488 Billion USD.

    We can see an Increase of 53.79% in the total trading volume in the last 24 hrs. which is due to the heavy selling by long-term investors.

    The Week Ahead

    The global economic factors and the increase in the interest rate announced by the Fed have made the US dollar stronger, which has led to a massive decline in the prices of Ethereum.

    The delay in the implementation of the ETH 2.0 upgrade is also keeping the investors away from the markets.

    The immediate short-term outlook for Ether has turned mildly BEARISH; the medium-term outlook has turned neutral; the long-term outlook for Ether is NEUTRAL in present market conditions.

    This week, Ether is expected to move in a range between $1,800 and $2,000, and next week, Ether is expected to enter into a consolidation phase above the level of $2,000.

    Technical Indicators:

    The Stoch (9,6): at 22.35 indicating a SELL

    The moving averages convergence divergence (12,26): at -104.87 indicating a SELL
