Trump cannot stop the trend

Donald Trump

EURUSD

Victory of Donald Trump in the president elections caused the volatility splash on the markets, but had not affected key trend at all. Those bears, not forced out by EURUSD three figures takeoff, probably, are feeling great now. The pair is developing its decrease inside the downtrend, breaking on its way the short-term support levels. On Monday opening the support, existing since the end of January, around 1.0850-1.0800 area was broken. In spite of the short-term risks of profit-fixing, the common downtrend, targeting 1.0500, is still active though they should be cautious at the 1.06 level, since the probability of the more…

GBP

EURUSD

The pair was testing the downtrend resistance, which occurred in August, but finally could not break it. During first trading week of the new month and quarter, the American currency was feeling pretty good as a whole. It is quite possible that the markets will show higher interest to the dollar again as soon as yield curve changes its shape. Market participants are becoming more confident in rate’s increase in December by Fed Reserve, thus, the attractiveness of the American assets is growing in comparison with Euro assets, where both rate rising question and QE ending remain open. Markets confidence was more…
