Turkish lira falls apart, what can turn the tide?

The Turkish lira has gone into freefall, losing more than 20% of its value in the last month alone. Plagued by artificially low interest rates, extremely high inflation, and a shortage of FX reserves, there isn’t much on the horizon that can change the lira’s fortunes. A short-term recovery is possible after such a dramatic fall, but the broader trend remains overwhelmingly negative.  Lira breaks down It has been a devastating month for the Turkish currency.

Week Ahead – Focus on US retail sales as debt ceiling drama rumbles on

With no central bank decisions on the menu next week, investors will turn to data releases.

US Open Note – Stocks return to green zone as covid fears wane

Risk-on appetite returns but covid headache to be continued Omicron fears took a back seat on Tuesday, letting global stock indices, risk-sensitive currencies, and energy prices recoup some lost ground. Of course, the pandemic will remain the key driver for market sentiment for longer, at least into the new year, navigating inflation pressures, and therefore, monetary tightening plans accordingly.

US Open Note – Stocks go downhill as omicron bears bite; dollar, euro resilient

Omicron plays with investors’ nerves as stimulus vanishes Stock markets were in a sea of red during mid-European trading hours as omicron concerns and tighter curbs in Europe reminded investors that the pandemic is far from over and Covid could still swamp global demand after two years of limbo. The pan-European STOXX 600 and the British FTSE 100 index followed their Asian counterparts deeply lower, with energy shares, basic materials, and consumer cyclicals driving the bulk of losses, plung

US Open - Fed struck a more hawkish tone; BoE raises interest rates

Fed catches up with inflation; BoE raises interest rates On Wednesday, the Fed struck a more hawkish tone, doubling its tapering pace and signaling three rate hikes for 2022.

Technical Analysis – USDTRY heads to record highs; broad bullish dynamics fizzle out

USDTRY has been rising exponentially for almost a month amid the inflation storm in Turkey, with the pair recently topping its rally at a new record high of 14.60. Currently, there is little evidence to argue that the bullish trend in the four-hour chart could collapse in the near term. The price is gaining fresh momentum after setting another strong foothold around the 50-period simple moving average (SMA), helping the RSI to bounce on its 50 neutral mark and the Stochastics reverse near its 2

Technical Analysis – USDTRY trades like a rocket amid unstoppable rally

USDTRY has gone through the roof lately, breaking record high after record high. The pair has gone parabolic this week, with the price currently trading much higher than its upper Bollinger band and still rising. Momentum oscillators are completely overwhelmed. The RSI is already above 90, miles beyond the ‘overbought’ region of 70. The MACD has skyrocketed as well.

US Open Note – Turkish lira’s shock waves under control; stocks mildly up

European banks follow Turkish lira lower, but losses under control While the inflation fear factor holds intact in key developed economies even though price indices remain anemic, high inflation has been a truly tragic story in Turkey for a while, forcing the central bank to raise interest rates by two percentage points and more than expected on Friday.

USDTRY has fully scrapped August’s rally, meeting the crucial psychological number of 7.000 on Friday after four months on hopes of bringing an end to the ongoing sell-off. Trend signals have worsened following the bearish cross between the 20- and 200-day simple moving averages (SMAs), while the narrowing distance between the 50- and 200-day SMAs could further enhance the odds of trend deterioration if the lines bearishly intersect each other in the next sessions.
XM Research - 3 years agoNeutral

USDTRY has been at a near standstill over the past few sessions, but it seems that it has found a pivot point around the 200-day simple moving average (SMA). With the stochastics exiting the oversold area, and the RSI having bounced slightly above its 30 oversold level too, bullish pressures may keep pushing towards the 7.500 barrier, where any break higher may see the test of the 7.679 resistance.

Technical Analysis – USDTRY posts some gains after sharp sell-off

USDTRY has rebounded off the 7.6062 support level, which holds inside the Ichimoku cloud, after the aggressive sell-off from the record high of 8.5764. The RSI is confirming the slight upside retracement, however; the MACD is still extending its bearish movement below its trigger and zero lines. Also, the pair remains underneath the 20- and 50-day simple moving averages (SMAs) and any advances above these lines could open the way for more gains.
