GBP/USD intraday technical levels and trading recommendations for February 4, 2014. Trend News

gbpdailysam.jpggbp4hhsam.jpg


The GBP/USD pair had been trapped inside a wide-ranged price zone extending between 1.5900 and 1.6250 until November 27 when a bullish breakout took place.


Since then, the bulls have been defending 1.6250 as a prominent support. Another successful bullish retesting took place in the mid-December that pushed the pair again to the upside.


Based on this bullish breakout, the GBP/USD pair had a projection target around 1.6630 which acted as a prominent resistance for the pair.


As suggested, a bearish reversal was expressed at retesting of 1.6660 on January 24.


As depicted on the 4H chart, four-hour stabilization below the price zone of 1.6440-1.6490 was mandatory for further decline to take place. Quick decline took place towards 1.6300 shortly after.


The price zone of 1.6310-1.6330 represents a confluence of support for the GBP/USD pair. A valid buy entry can be taken here with stop loss as four-hour closure below 1.6275.


4H breakdown of 1.6300-1.6275 will probably allow another bearish impulse to take place towards 1.6220 then 1.6130 possibly.

A bullish breakout above 1.6250 took place on November 27. The GBP/USD pair successfully achieved its projection target around 1.6600. This price level is acting as a daily resistance for the pair until now.


Last bullish movement exceeded 1.6600 rendering 1.6666 as the highest price in January. However, bearish engulfing daily candlestick was immediately expressed off these high levels (1.6666).


Some sideway consolidation (two Doji daily candlesticks) was expressed around 1.6600 until obvious bearish pressure was applied on the currency pair resulting in a bearish pattern Three Black Crows which was confirmed with Yesterday's daily closure.


The next demand level is located at 1.6250 where a recent bottom was established on December 17.


gbp4hh.jpg


As mentioned before, the GBP/USD pair short-term direction turned to be bearish after the breakdown at 1.6450-1.6460.


Fixation below 1.6450 triggered bearish pressure towards 1.6400 then 1.6300 which was hit during late Monday's consolidations.


The 4H chart shows a demand zone located at 1.6320-1.6300 corresponding to the backside of the depicted bearish channel as well as previous congestion zone.


This price zone may initiate corrective bullish movement to the upside to collect further bearish pressure/momentum. However, early fixation below this zone will bring further bearish momentum without the retesting of 1.6450.


Selling the pair is suggested at the retesting of 1.6450 with Stop Loss as daily closure above 1.6475.

A breakout above the previous resistance level of 1.3450 allowed the bulls to push within the bullish channel to hit higher levels around 1.3650, and then 1.3750.


Later on, obvious bearish rejection was expressed at 1.3850 (failing to reach 100% Fibonacci Expansion at 1.3904). Instead, a breakdown of the lower limit of the depicted bullish channel took place on January 2. This led to the previous bearish impulse that almost reached 1.3520.


Last week, the pair expressed another bearish breakdown of the demand zone of 1.3550-1.3500 (long-term uptrend line as well as SMA-100). This opens the way directly towards 1.3455.


eur4hh.jpg


Last week, the bulls pushed towards the price levels around 1.3737 where strong bearish rejection was expressed.


As expected, a corrective bearish movement towards 1.3525-1.3500 took place shortly after.


The price zone of 1.3525-1.3500 failed to provide enough support for the pair. Instead, the pair has established a supply zone around the same price levels.


Fixation below this zone will gather further bearish momentum to push towards 1.3450 then 1.3400 as initial targets.

gbpusdh1.png

Overview :



  • According to previous events, the resistance of the GBP/USD pair has been already set at the level of 1.6370. Furthermore, the weekly support 1 sets at the level of 1.6370). But it should be noted that support has been broken and turned to resistance. Equally important, the weekly support 3 has been set at the level of 1.6172 on February 4, 2014. Accordingly, the price of the GBP/USD pair has been trapped between 1.6370 and 1.6300; thus, it is reasonable to be careful with action around this area. Also, it should be noted that the range today will be about 80 pips. As a result, the trend in H1 chart is going to call for a bearish market at the level of 1.6370. Thereupon, it looks for further downside move below 1.6370 with targets at 1.6313 and 1.6220 today. On the other hand, buy above the price of 1.6175 with the first target at 1.6255. It might resume to 1.6300 in order to test the support.

Technical analysis of USD/JPY for Feburary 03, 2014 Trend News

USDJPYM30.png


Overview:


USD/JPY is expected to trade in a lower range. It is undermined by the flows to the safe-haven JPY and unwinding of JPY-funded carry trades amid increased risk aversion (VIX fear gauge rose 6.48% to 18.41, S&P fell 0.65% Friday) as concerns over emerging markets still persist, exacerbated by signs of slowdown in China. CFLP final China manufacturing PMI for January came in at 50.5 versus 51 in December and the Federal Reserve continues its gradual withdrawal of monetary stimulus. USD/JPY is also weighed by the lower U.S. Treasury yields, Japan export sales and stronger-than-expected Japan's December core CPI (rose 1.3% on year for sharpest rate of annual increase in over five years) which dimmed odds of further monetary easing from the Bank of Japan in near term. But USD/JPY losses are tempered by the demand from the Japanese importers, positive dollar sentiment (ICE spot dollar index last 81.27 versus 81.07 early Friday) as University of Michigan final consumer sentiment index for January came in at 81.2, down from 82.5 in December but higher than the preliminary reading of 80.4, and, finally, stronger-than-expected 0.5% rise in U.S. 4Q employment cost index (versus forecast +0.4%).


Technical сomment:

Daily chart is negative-biased as MACD is bearish, stochastics stays suppressed at oversold zone; five and 15-day moving averages are declining.


Trading recommendation:


The pair is trading above its pivot point. It is likely to trade in a higher range as far as it remains above its pivot point. As far as the price is above its pivot point, a long position is recommended with the first target at 100.9 and the second target at 100.45. In an alternative scenario, if the price moves below its pivot points, short positions are recommended with the first target at 102.4. A breach of this target will push the pair further downwards and one may expect the second target at 102.75. The pivot point is at 102.

Technical analysis of GBP/JPY for Feburary 03, 2014 Trend News

GBPJPYM30.png


Overview:


GBP/JPY is expected to trade in a lower range.It is undermined by the weak euro sentiment, increased investor risk aversion and Japan's export sales. But GBP/JPY losses are tempered by the demand from the Japanese importers.

Trading recommendation:


The pair is trading below its pivot point. It is likely to trade in a lower range as far as it remains below its pivot point. A short position is recommended with the first target at 165.75 in mind.

Technical analysis of NZD/USD for Feburary 03, 2014 Trend News

NZDUSDM30.png


Overview:


NZD/USD is expected to consolidate with bearish bias after hitting its near-five-month low of 0.8061 on Friday. Such dynamics is undermined by the contagion from turmoil in the emerging markets, the kiwi sales on the soft NZD/JPY cross amid increased investor risk aversion, positive dollar sentiment and the kiwi sales on buoyant AUD/NZD cross. But NZD/USD losses are tempered by the hawkish Reserve Bank of New Zealand's monetary policy stance. Daily chart is negative-biased as MACD is bearish, stochastics stays suppressed at oversold zone, five-day moving average is below 15-day MA and still declining.


Trading recommendation:


The pair is trading below its pivot point. It is likely to trade in a lower range as far as it remains below its pivot point. A short position is recommended with the first target at 0.806 in mind. A breach of this target will move the pair further downwards to 0.803. The pivot point stands at 0.8125. In case the price moves in the opposite direction, bounces back from support, and moves above its pivot point, it is most favourably expected to move further to the upside. In that scenario, a long position is recommended with the first target at 0.818 and the second target at 0.8215.

GOLD analysis for February 03, 2014 Trend News

goldh103.png


Overview:


Since our last analysis, gold has been trading downwards. As we expected, the price rejected from our corrective FE 161.8% at the price of 1,252.00 and tested the level of 1,239.18 on very high volume. If the price breaks the level of 1,238.00 on higher volume, we may see testing of the level of 1.222.00 (FE 161.8%). We can observe large selling climax at the price of 1,242.00 which is a sign that we got strong supply on the market. Buying gold looks risky since we are in short- and mid-term downtrend, and we also got finished the major ABCD bullish corrective phase.


Daily pivot Fibonacci points:


Resistance levels:


R1: 1,247.29


R2: 1,248.05


R3: 1,249.27


Support levels:


S1: 1,244.85


S2: 1,244.09


S3: 1,242.87


Trading recommendation: Trading the metal, be careful with buying and try to catch the bearish continuation phase.

EUR/NZD analysis for February 03, 2014 Trend News

eurnzdh103.png


Overview:


Since our previous analysis, the EUR/NZD pair has been trading sideways around the price of 1.6660, we are still waiting potential testing of the level of 1.6800 (major FE 61%).We can observe that strong demand has entered the market at the price of 1.6613 which is good sign of bullish strength. I have placed Fibonacci levels to find next upper level and I got FE major 61.8% at the price 1.6800. There is a chance that we may see smaller bearish correction and potential testing of the level of 1.6540 (FR 38.2%) in reaction of buying climax, but general direction is bullish. Do not forget that EUR/NZD is in short- and mid-term bullish trend and selling EUR/NZD at this stage looks very risky. Watch for buying opportunities on the dips and try to catch the bullish continuation phase.


Daily pivot Fibonacci points:


Resistance levels:


R1: 1.6729


R2: 1.6772


R3: 1.6840


Support levels:


S1: 1.6593


S2 : 1.6550


S3: 1.6482


Trading recommendation: Be careful with selling the EUR/NZD pair, watch for buying opportunities and try to catch the bullish continuation phase.

Technical analysis of EUR/JPY for Febuary 3, 2014 Trend News

General overview for 03/02/2014 11:30 CET


There is the last wave to the downside missing before rebound should happen in this market. The target for wave (v) blue is at the level of 137.11 or a little bit lower at the level of 137.03. From that price area an intraday rebound is expected that should effectively test golden trend line or the technical resistance zone at the level of 138.25. If this level is broken, then the weekly pivot might be tested.


Support/Resistance:


137.11 - Target level for wave (v) blue


137.49 - Intraday Support


138.25 - Intraday Resistance


138.52 - Weekly Pivot


Trading recommendations:


For intraday scalpers: the level of 137.49 is the good level to open sell positions with SL above the level of 138.01 and TP at the level of 137.11.

General overview for 03/02/2014 11:00 CET


The ending diagonal formation in wave (v) blue has been finished and market rejected higher prices by making sudden sell-off.


We can count five impulsive waves from the top and the support for the wave 5 red is at the level of 1.1029. This is the level of technical support as well.


Today a corrective cycle is expected that might retrace some losses on this pair but please keep an eye on the level of 1.1076 as the current resistance level. Any breakout higher means weekly pivot level will be tested.


Support/Resistance:


1.1222 - Swing High


1.1213 - WR1


1.1134 - 1.1149 - Intraday Resistance Zone


1.1121 - Weekly Pivot


1.1076 - Intraday Support


1.1029 - Technical Support


1.1020 - WS1


1.0931 - WS2


Trading recommendations:


The level of 1.1029 should provide a good support for the price, so long positions should be opened from the level with SL below the level of 1.1019 and TP at the level of 1.1076.

#USDX Technical analysis for February 3, 2014 Trend News

The Dollar index has managed to reach the important resistance at 81.50 once again, but in the short-term we witness another rejection at this important resistance level. It is not a good sign for bulls that prices get rejected once again. However the Dollar index has visited the 81.50 resistance level twice in a short time period this means that pressures by bulls is strong, so we should be on alert if this level breaks.


usdx.jpg

Short-term support is found at 80.80-90. Short-term resistance is found at 81.40-50. We could witness a pullback towards 80.70-90 as prices got rejected and the 4 hour candles show us that short-term trend might be reversing downwards. Thereofore, bulls could see this as an opportunity to take profits near resistance and try to buy again after the expected pullback. If prices manage to break resistance then the lost ground for bulls will be small, but if prices turn aggressively downwards, then bulls would have lost much more.


usdxd.jpg

Long-term support is now the 80.40 level that if broken will make us believe that the index will be heading towards 79. Important long-term resistance is 81.50 and that is why the index is taking so much time to break above it. It is very important and strong resistance that traders should not trade against it. So either go short with 81.50 stop reverse or close longs and wait if resistance breaks in order to go long again.

Gold Elliott wave analysis for February 3, 2014 Trend News

Gold price is now near the critical support of $1,238-33. Short-term trend is down as the price pattern from recent highs at $1,279 is making lower lows and lower highs. This reversal from $1,270 area was expected since the longer-term resistance at $1,270-80 had been very strong. We expect Gold price to continue this downward trend lower and a good bearish signal that will support our view if the price moves below the $1,238-33 support.


goldh4.jpg

We continue to believe that the upward move from $1,180 is corrective as we cannot find a clear impulsive wave up in order to justify more upside movement. The daily chart continues to show Gold price below the important downward sloping trend line resistance.


goldd.jpg

For bulls, it is important Gold price to trade above $1,238 and try and break above the short-term resistance at $1,255. For bears as we mentioned above it is vital for Gold price to remain below $1,270 and try to break the $1,238 support level. Our longer-term view is bearish and our short-term view is mildly bearish. We will become strongly bearish for the short-term if $1,220 support fails. Target will then be $1,140.

Today's Support and Resistance levels:


R3: 1.6748


R2: 1.6713


R1: 1.6670


Current spot: 1.6623


S1: 1.6560


S2: 1.6493


S3: 1.6419


Technical summary:


Black wave iii ended slightly earlier than expected 1.6792 (the high of wave iii came in at 1.6748). We are now in black wave iv, which ideally will meet support at 1.6560 for the next rally higher towards 1.6910 to end black wave v and wave i of 3, which is expected to move much higher in the longer term. The alternative count (not shown on the chart) calls for a possible triangle developing, but this count still calls for a move towards 1.6900 before a new decline sets in.


Trading recommendation:


Stay long in EUR from 1.6495. As the take profit target has not been hit, keep your stop at 1.6554 and place take profit at 1.6875. If you are not long in EUR yet, the buy EUR near 1.6560 with a very close stop at 1.6554 and with the same take profit target at 1.6875.

S1: 137.39


S2: 136.97


S3: 136.67


Technical summary:


We have finally seen a break below the base channel support line, which heralds acceleration lower.

Trading recommendation:


Stay short from 141.80 and lower your stop to 138.95. If you are not short in EUR yet, then sell EUR near 137.93 with the same stop at 138.95.
