In August, USDJPY had low volatility in price movement. The price ranged between 105.11 as the lowest level while the highest level was at 107.06. The USDJPY bears are still very much in active on the Daily Chart. The 4hr Chart is showing indication of a temporary bullish movement; this could be a sign of the bulls becoming more active on a short term. Most major currencies outperformed the USD in August. In a situation price rallies, it could be less than 1%. Investors might be uncertain about the direction of the pair; a USDJPY temporary price rally to 106.2 might pave way for the bears to push price downwards. There should be high impact news on the USD, as a result of the Manufacturing PMI. This should bring more volatility to the USD market.
Gold (XAUUSD) Approaching Psychological Level 2,000 Again
The Gold price has been on a long bullish direction since the beginning of 2020 amounting to about 36% profit. Price reached a new high at 2061.41 in August. Ever since the all time high was reached at 2,061.41, price has been overbought on all larger time frames. This has resulted to a few lower highs as price is yet to break the resistance point.
As at the time of writing, price of Gold is at 1989.30. If the price of Gold closes in the upper region of the Bollinger bands, this could push price to 2, 000 and above. Price testing the Gold resistance level might bring about a correction in price. Gold‘s candlestick for last week was bullish; the candlestick for this week has shown that Gold Price remains bullish. There is a strong support at 1956.29 with a few higher highs on a short term. Many investors might have seen Gold as a haven. Gold’s price might need to break the resistance level to keep the minds of investors at rest.
