Setup Rating and Analysis

9

FXG has only a medium technical rating, but it does show a decent setup pattern. We see reduced volatility while prices have been consolidating in the most recent period. There is a resistance zone just above the current price starting at 64.03. Right above this resistance zone may be a good entry point. There is a support zone below the current price at 63.51, a Stop Loss order could be placed below this zone. We notice that large players showed an interest for FXG in the last couple of days, which is a good sign.
