USDCHF struggles for support

The US dollar plunged after data showed a higher US unemployment rate in October. A break below 1.0000 could prolong the consolidation as the parity level has been acting like a magnet, pulling the price back and forth. With the RSI deeply in the oversold area. Trend followers may see the pullback as an opportunity to stake in. 0.9920 is the first support and 0.9840 a critical level to keep the price afloat. 1.0020 is a fresh resistance and a bounce above 1.0140 could pave the way for a rally to a six-year high at 1.0350.

USDCAD breaks critical support

The Canadian dollar soared after solid jobs data raised bets for a large-sized rate hike by the BoC. The pair has been struggling to hold onto its gains above October’s lows (1.3500), which was a critical level to keep the rally relevant in the short-term. A previous rally came under pressure in the supply zone around 1.3800, then a fall below 1.3600 revealed that the bears have regained control. A dip below 1.3500 would extend losses towards 1.3400. An oversold RSI may cause a limited rebound with 1.3600 as the first hurdle.

GER 40 breaks major ceiling

The Dax 40 rallies as mixed US jobs data lift risk appetite across asset classes. The index previously met stiff selling pressure near September’s high around 13450. A combination of profit-taking and fresh selling in this supply zone has weighed on the short-term price action. But the fallback has only shaken out weak hands and the swift recovery with a higher high indicates that the bulls are still in play. The bullish breakout could lift offers to the August high (13950). 13100 is the support should the Dax need some breathing room.
