BTC Drops & USD Steady Ahead Of The Fed Chair Symposium

The cryptocurrency sphere, often characterised by its unpredictability, witnessed a decline in the value of BTC. This correction follows a period of bullish momentum that had propelled the leading digital asset to new heights. Investors and enthusiasts alike are closely observing the market's response to this price adjustment, speculating on potential factors influencing the downward trend.

The NZDUSD Performance 

The last chat about this pair was on the 15th of August.

We have proceeded further down to the price point of 0.59068. We now watch the support level be broken by a daily candle for greater momentum to the targets identified. Target 1 set at price point 0.57350. Target 2 sets at price point 0.55580. Risk Management must be applied on a strict basis.

The Brent Oil Performance 

2 August 2023 was the last time we had a look at this security. We had our take profits hit and proceeded to the resistance at 87.05. We have now retraced back to the previous target at 84.84. Traders should be looking for a breakout from both the resistance 87.05 and the outer trendline. We will watch this closely and revert with an update.

The BTCUSD Performance 

Big Pause on any positions on Bitcoin. We see a stronger US Dollar that has pushed the price down towards the breakout giving us a strong and deep correction.  We wait for price action to formulate at this support to give us a further indication of the way forward. Our breakout point at 31816.52 remains in place.
