Levels of the Day
Euro versus the US dollar (EUR/USD)
From the daily chart of the EUR/USD, the pair gained traction today amid a broad-based USD sell-off following the recent US-Iran ceasefire.
Technically, the unit is now shaking hands with a resistance zone between US$1.1734 and US$1.1690 – a base made up of a 1.272% Fibonacci projection and a 100% projection (AB=CD resistance levels). Complementing this area is an ascending resistance, taken from the low of US$1.1468.
Current AB=CD sellers will likely target the 38.2% and 61.8% Fibonacci retracements at US$1.1596 and US$1.1527, respectively, derived from legs A-D of the larger AB=CD pattern.
KOSPI (KRX)
Asia Pac equities rallied strongly on the back of the news from the Middle East, with South Korea’s KOSPI adding nearly 7% by the close today. While the KOSPI’s moves are certainly eye-catching, the potential double-bottom pattern around 5,060 is equally interesting as price closes in on the neckline, extended from the high of 5,934.
Engulfing the said neckline effectively completes the double-bottom pattern and will prompt chart pattern enthusiasts to plot a profit objective at 6,833, beyond the all-time high of 6,347. Overall, a break of 5,934 signals that breakout buyers could take the wheel.
Air France-KLM (AF)
Airline stocks are clear beneficiaries of the US-Iran ceasefire, with the AF stock catching a meaningful bid today, up 14% as of writing.
Interestingly, the technical picture indicates scope for further outperformance until a major resistance zone between US$11.30 and US$10.89. This is made up of 1M, 3M, and 6M resistance levels. Complementing this area is a 50.0% retracement, a 38.2% Fibonacci retracement, as well as an ascending support, taken from the low of US$6.90. Therefore, while bulls will likely remain in control, the said resistance could serve as a logical upside target, where sellers/profit taking could emerge.
