Technical analysis
EUR/USD is climbing to the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of 1.2200. It’s unlikely to cross this resistance on the first try, but if it does, the way up to the next Fibo level at 1.2260 will be clear. Support levels are 1.2150 and 1.2100.
GBP/USD has been rising for six days in a row. The jump above yesterday’s high of 1.4200 will open the way up to the next round number at 1.4250. Support levels are at the recent lows of 1.4100 and 1.4050.
USD/JPY has approached the key resistance of 106.00. If the price manages to jump above it, the doors towards the next resistance of 106.50 will be open. On the flip side, the move below the 200-day moving average of 105.50 will press the price down to Monday’s low of 105.00.
Finally, let’s discuss NVIDIA. The stock has been moving in an ascending channel since the summer of 2020. Since it’s in a lower part of the channel, it has more potential to keep rising. Besides, the downside is limited by the 50-and 100-day moving averages at $540.00. The move above $580.00 will drive the stock up to the high of February 16 at $615.00.
