Technically, according to the daily chart, the EUR/USD is converging into a Triangle pattern after failing to breach the upper band of the Bollinger Band indicator.

eBay’s shares rose by 3.13% closing at $56.30 after the company decided to stay with PayPal. Technically, provided the share price holds above the support of $55.50 and above the Moving Average 20, it should rise towards $59.00, but not before testing the next resistance level at $57.50.

Technically, according to the daily chart, as long as the RSI is maintaining a solid bullish momentum and gold is holding above 1,312, it may rise towards the resistance of $1,360. However, falling below this may lead gold to around 1,300 again.
