May 14th, after the United States released lower-than-expected inflation data on Tuesday, Trump again called for a rate cut, and the dollar continued to be under pressure. Trump once again accused Federal Reserve Chairman Powell of cutting interest rates "too late." Thu Lan Nguyen, head of foreign exchange and commodity research at Commerzbank, said in a report that at first glance, the decline of the dollar after the data seemed logical given the prospect of a faster rate cut by the Federal Reserve. However, this may also reflect the fact that Trump will feel that he is right given the lack of tariff effects in the data.According to AFP: Diplomatic officials said the European Union agreed to impose a 17th round of sanctions on Russia.According to NHK, the local fire department received a call saying that something like an airplane crashed into a pond in Inuyama City shortly after 3 p.m.Germanys DAX30 index opened up 25.61 points, or 0.11%, at 23,645.20 points on May 14 (Wednesday); Britains FTSE 100 index opened down 18.25 points, or 0.21%, at 8,584.67 points on May 14 (Wednesday); Frances CAC40 index opened up 2.19 points, or 0.03%, at 7,876.02 points on May 14 (Wednesday); Europes STOXX 50 index opened down 3.86 points, or 0.07%, at 5,412.35 points on May 14 (Wednesday); Spains IBEX35 index opened down 1.63 points, or 0.01%, at 13,769.97 points on May 14 (Wednesday); Italys FTSE MIB index opened up 42.51 points, or 0.11%, at 40,120.00 points on May 14 (Wednesday).According to Japan Broadcasting Corporation NHK: There were two people on board the missing training aircraft of the Japan Self-Defense Forces.

Price Analysis: EUR/JPY Symmetrical Triangle Signals Upcoming Consolidation

Daniel Rogers

May 20, 2022 10:08

The EUR/JPY pair is bouncing within a narrow range of 13510-135.44 at the start of the Tokyo session, following a stronger advance from its critical support at 134.00. This week, the cross has showed erratic behavior and has relinquished all of its gains from the first two trading sessions.

 

The creation of a Symmetrical Triangle on an hourly basis suggests a rangebound motion in the following trading sessions. The ascending trendline is drawn from the previous week's low of 132.66, while the descending trendline is drawn from the May 9 high of 138.32. A symmetrical triangle typically results in a decline in volatility, followed by a breakout in the same.

 

The 20-period and 50-period Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) are overlapping, indicating an impending consolidation.

 

Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) (14) oscillates between 40.00 and 60.00, indicating a lack of direction. Therefore, investors should anticipate a further reduction in volatility.

 

After fluctuating in a tight range, a significant decline below the Symmetrical Triangle at 134.70 will push the asset towards Thursday's bottom at 133.93, followed by last week's low at 132.66.

 

Alternately, the shared currency bulls might propel the asset higher towards Wednesday's high of 136.67 and May 9's high of 138.32 if the Symmetrical Triangle is broken to the upside at 135.5.
