- Today at 09:35:40 AMS&P 500 Fluctuates Ahead of CPI Report
As the S&P 500 chart (US SPX 500 mini on FXOpen) shows, the index is trading near the 6,800 level this morning. However, the balance between supply and demand could change significantly after the release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) report scheduled for 15:30 GMT+3.
Against the backdrop of military developments in the Middle East and sharp movements in oil prices (as we previously noted, the WTI market remains volatile), today's data will be an important factor for traders assessing the future policy path of the Federal Reserve. According to Forex Factory, analysts expect headline inflation to remain at 2.4%.

- Today at 09:28:09 AMXTI/USD Chart Analysis: Oil Prices Remain Volatile
Against the backdrop of military developments in the Middle East, the situation in the oil market is evolving rapidly. Only two days have passed since 9 March, when we published a morning analytical note in which we:
→ highlighted the rise of XTI/USD above $100 and a sharp spike in volatility (as reflected by the ATR indicator);
→ outlined an ascending channel and pointed to signs of a bearish engulfing pattern, suggesting that sellers were gaining the initiative.
Subsequent price action in the following hours confirmed that selling pressure was strong enough to break below the lower boundary of the channel later that same day. This occurred amid statements from President Trump, and a wide bearish candle formed on the XTI/USD chart.
On 10 March, the former lower boundary of the channel (marked by red arrows) acted as resistance while traders closely monitored developments around the Strait of Hormuz. According to The Wall Street Journal, the International Energy Agency proposed the largest oil reserve release in its history, which added another bearish factor for the market.

- Today at 09:16:07 AMEuro Recovers Early-Week Losses Ahead of Key Inflation Data
The euro is strengthening after declining earlier in the week. During the first trading sessions the single currency remained under pressure, but was later followed by a sharp rebound. The recovery was supported by easing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, where signs have emerged of a slowdown in the escalation surrounding Iran. The reduction in geopolitical risks has weakened demand for safe-haven assets and allowed European currencies to partially recover their losses.
At the same time, market participants remain cautious as important inflation figures from both the eurozone and the United States are due to be released soon.
Inflation data remain a key factor shaping expectations for the future policy path of central banks. Higher inflation in the US could strengthen the dollar by reinforcing expectations that the Federal Reserve will maintain a tight monetary policy stance. Meanwhile, accelerating inflation in Europe could support the euro, as it would strengthen arguments for the European Central Bank to keep interest rates elevated for a longer period.
Overall, the current movement in major euro pairs appears largely corrective, while the next directional move will likely depend on the upcoming macroeconomic releases.

- March 10, 2026, 10:01:27 AMGold Price Holds Near Key Support
As the XAU/USD chart shows, the gold price has been holding within the $5,060–$5,200 range over the past several sessions.
Bullish view: the key support is the lower boundary of the long-term channel that has been in place since the beginning of 2026.
Bearish view: pressure on the price comes from statements by President Trump suggesting that the conflict in the Middle East could end soon. Yesterday, the US president described the operation in Iran as a "small incursion" and a "short-term" measure, which helped ease geopolitical risks and reduce demand for gold as a safe-haven asset.

- March 10, 2026, 09:51:06 AMEUR/USD Chart Analysis: Pair Rebounds from the Year's Low
Analysing the EUR/USD chart five days ago, we:
→ constructed a downward channel, noting signs that the bears remained in control;
→ outlined a scenario in which the rate would decline to a new yearly low (and test the lower boundary of the channel).
Yesterday's price action confirmed these assumptions – the low at H is below the low of 3 February (F), refining the lower boundary of the channel. At the same time, the sharp upward reversal (shown by the arrow) indicates increasing demand, driven by a shift in sentiment due to several factors, including:
→ Trump's speech, in which the president stated that the war in Iran is progressing successfully and that he has contingency plans for any scenario. This cooled demand for the USD as a safe-haven asset.
→ Expectations of US inflation data scheduled for release tomorrow.

- March 09, 2026, 12:42:53 PMDollar Index (DXY) Hits Yearly High
Today, the dollar index rose above last week's peak around the 99.68 level, setting a new high for 2026. This movement is supported by a tense fundamental backdrop:
→ Inflationary pressures from rising oil prices. Markets may be pricing in a "higher for longer" scenario, with elevated Fed rates persisting.
→ Safe-haven demand. Escalation in the Middle East—including strikes on Iran and the rise of hardline leader Mojtaba Khamenei in Tehran—may push market participants towards defensive strategies and the US dollar.
→ Weakness in other currencies. The Middle East conflict can weigh on the yen and euro, as European and Japanese economies remain highly sensitive to energy prices.

- March 09, 2026, 12:31:13 PMWTI Oil Price Rises Above $100
Another shocking Monday for the energy market. Last week's start was remembered for a bullish gap of more than 10% (which was later followed by a pullback), but today's market open proved even more volatile (as reflected by the ATR indicator). After a bullish gap of roughly 11%, the price continued to climb, reaching a peak of around $114 per barrel of WTI during the Asian session. This is the highest price since 2022.
The drivers of the rally are obvious – the escalation of the war in the Middle East, with more countries becoming involved. Risks have reached a critical point, with discussions emerging around the scenario of a complete blockade of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. In such a case, oil-producing countries could invoke force majeure as grounds for halting supplies.

- March 06, 2026, 12:03:03 PMUSD/CHF Exchange Rate Rebounds from Multi-Year Low
The resilience of the Swiss economy and inflation remaining below 1% have made the Swiss franc an attractive safe-haven asset amid an extremely tense geopolitical backdrop and elevated gold prices. As the USD/CHF chart shows, the US dollar fell against the Swiss franc below 0.7650 in February — the lowest level since summer 2011.
However, the pair has since begun forming higher lows, suggesting that strong support is emerging in this area. The outbreak of intensified military activity in the Middle East this week has led to a rise in the USD, with the dollar also strengthening against the franc. Market participants may be starting to view the Swiss currency as an overvalued safe-haven asset.
Notably:
→ This week could mark the second-largest weekly gain since the beginning of 2025.
→ The Swiss National Bank (SNB) has already hinted at the possibility of currency interventions due to the "excessive strength of the franc".

- March 06, 2026, 11:46:42 AMPalantir Technologies (PLTR) Shares Show Strong Growth at the Beginning of March
Shares of Palantir Technologies (PLTR), a company specialising in big data analytics software, have become one of the stock market's standout performers at the start of this spring.
While the closing price on the last trading day of February was around $137, during yesterday's session the stock climbed to $155.
Why Is PLTR Rising?
The stock's strong performance is driven by a combination of fundamental factors, including:
→ Competitors' problems at the Pentagon: News about temporary restrictions placed on the AI start-up Anthropic in its work with US government agencies has strengthened Palantir's position as a reliable partner.
→ Use in the Middle East conflict: Analysts at Baird highlighted this week the ability of Palantir's systems to operate in real time and deliver predictive analytics on the battlefield.
→ Higher price targets: Several agencies (including Zacks and Trefis) have raised their forecasts for PLTR shares amid expectations that revenue growth could reach around 78% by the end of the year.
In addition, technical factors are also playing a role.

On one hand, demand for the USD as a "safe-haven currency" remains elevated amid the ongoing military conflict in the Middle East.
On the other hand, the euro is under pressure because:
→ rising energy prices put the European Union at a disadvantage;
→ traders may be cautious ahead of today's ECB news (Lagarde's speech is scheduled for 20:00 GMT+3).

- March 05, 2026, 11:58:24 AMEUR/USD and GBP/USD at Key Levels Ahead of the Nonfarm Payrolls Release
European currencies, particularly the pound and the euro, posted a sharp decline at the start of the week before shifting into a corrective rebound. However, the current move appears largely technical in nature, with the market maintaining a cautious stance ahead of the key US labour market report — Nonfarm Payrolls — due for release tomorrow.
Additional pressure on European currencies stems from the strengthening US dollar amid rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. The escalation of the conflict between the United States, Israel and Iran has triggered a sharp increase in energy prices. Natural gas prices in Europe have surged on concerns over potential supply disruptions, as the widening conflict has affected the Strait of Hormuz — one of the key arteries for global liquefied natural gas supplies.
Rising energy costs are increasing inflationary risks for the European economy, which has only just begun recovering from the previous energy crisis. According to analysts' estimates, if current energy price levels persist, inflation in the euro area could rise by around 0.5 percentage points. This reinforces expectations that European central banks may keep interest rates elevated for longer, while simultaneously heightening the risk of a slowdown in economic activity.

The pennant pattern is a continuation chart formation frequently observed in forex and CFD markets during periods of strong directional momentum. It develops after a sharp price movement followed by a brief consolidation phase, reflecting temporary equilibrium before potential trend continuation.
Unlike reversal patterns, a pennant forms within an existing trend structure and is commonly used by traders to analyse breakout conditions, organise entry planning, and define risk parameters using measurable price projections. The pattern's compact structure allows market participants to evaluate volatility contraction and subsequent expansion within a clearly defined technical framework.
This article examines how bullish and bearish pennant patterns are identified across different market environments, how breakout scenarios are evaluated step by step, how price targets are derived using the flagpole measurement method, and how false breakouts can be filtered through confirmation techniques and professional trading tools.
