The USDCAD yesterday moved above it’s 100 hour MA (blue line). That was the first break of the MA since March 15. The price break saw the pair move up to the next key MA level at the 200 hour MA (green line). That MA did hold resistance and buyers turned back to sellers. The

AUD/JPY is modestly lower today in what would be the first daily decline after eight straight days of gains but it’s the weekly chart where I want to focus. It’s gone parabolic, adding 4% this week in the eighth consecutive week of gains. The rally this week blew through the 2017 high and is one
Guess what? The 200 hour MA held resistance in the EURUSD . Surprise. Surprise. The 200 hour MA (green line) has acted as a barometer for bullish and bearish going back to last week. There have been a number of moves above and below the moving average, but the price tends to react to it
