Markets Analysis 14/09/2026
- Resistance: 1.1611 / 1.1621
- Support: 1.1567 / 1.1557
EUR/USD extended losses after stronger US inflation data reinforced expectations of Fed tightening.
Analyst View: The pair is anchored at early-September lows, though broader sentiment remains under pressure from widening policy divergence. Comments from President Lagarde may prove pivotal for near-term direction.
Bias: Bearish
- Resistance: 1.3551 / 1.3575
- Support: 1.3475 / 1.3451
Sterling recovered after stronger-than-expected UK GDP data and is consolidating above 1.3500 ahead of key central bank decisions.
Analyst View: Although the pair reclaimed 1.3500, upside momentum remains capped below the 10-day moving average, limiting scope for further gains unless macro drivers shift.
Bias: Mildly Bearish
- Resistance: 154.25 / 154.47
- Support: 152.89 / 152.68
USD/JPY failed to sustain gains after the US inflation release, as attention shifts to this week’s Bank of Japan meeting.
Analyst View: Repeated rejections above 154.60 highlight ongoing buyer caution, and the pair is likely to remain rangebound in the near term unless policy expectations shift materially.
Bias: Under Pressure
- Resistance: 105.43 / 107.71
- Support: 100.95 / 98.06
WTI fell below $100 on Friday amid profit-taking but rebounded sharply after reports of a pipeline disruption in Saudi Arabia over the weekend.
Analyst View: The broader trend remains constructive above $100; however, resistance near $104 may cap near-term upside.
Bias: Moderately Bullish
- Resistance: 4352 / 4363
- Support: 4308 / 4292
- Resistance: 64.14 / 64.40
- Support: 63.02 / 62.76
Gold rebounded after testing recent lows, supported by position adjustments following the inflation release.
Analyst View: While gold prices have staged a recovery, elevated expectations for Fed rate hikes continue to cap upside potential. Any further advances are likely to be incremental.
Bias: Mild Rebound
- Resistance: 52773 / 53152
- Support: 52395 / 52023
US equities rebounded despite stronger inflation data, supported by resilient earnings expectations, AI-driven investment themes, and easing energy prices.
Analyst View: The rebound remains vulnerable to higher-for-longer rate expectations, with resistance near the 10-day moving average likely to cap further gains.
Bias: Rebound Likely Limited
- Resistance: 29104 / 29206
- Support: 28878 / 28779
Technology stocks held their ground despite rising Treasury yields, helping Nasdaq recover most of the previous session’s losses.
Analyst View: Cautious positioning ahead of the FOMC may continue to limit momentum. Failure to clear key moving averages could prompt renewed consolidation.
Bias: Rebound Likely Limited
- Resistance: 77841 / 78551
- Support: 75551 / 74827
Bitcoin traded near the $77,000 level over the weekend, as expectations of a Fed rate hike continued to weigh on risk assets.
Analyst View: BTC remains capped below the 10-day moving average and is likely to stay rangebound in the near term, with price action expected to remain subdued unless risk sentiment shifts.
Bias: Weak Consolidation
