Technical analysis of USD/JPY for Feburary 10, 2014 Trend News

USDJPYM30.png


Overview:


USD/JPY is expected to consolidate after hitting its six-day high of 102.65 on Monday as markets await the Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen's first semiannual testimony before the U.S. House Financial Services Committee. Ms. Yellen is expected to deliver a message of continuity in U.S. monetary policy. Liquidity was thin in Asia today as financial markets in Japan were shut for holiday. USD/JPY is undermined by subdued investor risk appetite, soft U.S. dollar sentiment (ICE spot dollar index last 80.63 versus 80.74 early Monday) as Friday's weaker-than-expected U.S. January non-farm payrolls data continue to weigh and buy-yen orders from Japan exporters. But USD/JPY downside is limited by sell-yen orders from Japan's importers and ultra-loose Bank of Japan's monetary policy stance.


Technical сomment:


Daily chart is mixed as MACD is in bearish mode, but stochastics is rising from an oversold zone.


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 102.65 and the second target at 102.9. In an alternative scenario, if the price moves below its pivot points, short positions are recommended with the first target at 101.55. A breach of this target will push the pair further downwards and one may expect the second target at 101.2. The pivot point is at 102.05.

Technical analysis of NZD/USD for Feburary 11, 2014 Trend News

NZDUSDM30.png


Overview:


NZD/USD is expected to range-trade. It is undermined by the Kiwi sales on NZD/JPY cross amid waning investor risk appetite. But NZD/USD downside is limited by the negative U.S. dollar sentiment, the Kiwi demand on soft AUD/NZD cross and hawkish Reserve Bank of New Zealand's monetary policy stance. Daily chart is still positive-biased as MACD and stochastics is in bullish mode, five-day moving average is above 15-day MA and is advancing.


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 0.834 and the second target at 0.836. In an alternative scenario, if the price moves below its pivot points, short positions are recommended with the first target at 0.825. A breach of this target will push the pair further downwards and one may expect the second target at 0.823. The pivot point is at 0.8275.

Technical analysis of USD/CHF for Feburary 11, 2014 Trend News

USDCHFM30.png


Overview:


USD/CHF is expected to trade with risks skewed lower. It is undermined by the negative U.S. dollar sentiment. But the USD/CHF downside is limited by the franc sales on soft CHF/JPY cross. Daily chart is negative-biased as MACD and stochastics are bearish.


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. Short position is recommended with the first target at 0.8935 in mind. A breach of this target will move the pair further downwards to 0.89. The pivot point stands at 0.898. In case the price moves in the opposite direction, bounces back from support level, and then 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 0.9 and the second target at 0.9025.

USD/CAD intraday technical levels and trading recommendations for February 11, 2014 Trend News

cadweekly.jpg


The bulls managed to hit fresh highs (around 1.1220) that haven't been visited since 2009.


Recently, the USD is failing to keep its gains against CAD, and the USD/CAD pair was pushed to the downside indicating weakness of the ongoing bullish momentum.


This is manifested in the previous weekly candlestick that came as bearish engulfing one.


The nearest resistance zone is located around 1.1230-1.1250 corresponding to the 50% Fibonacci level of the bearish swing that extended between March 2009 and July 2011.


caddailyy.jpg

The daily chart reveals an atypical Head and Shoulders reversal pattern. If this pattern is confirmed, the USD/CAD pair will have a projection target located at 1.0880.


The pair has a significant support zone between 1.0700 and 1.0730 representing the upper limit of a previous consolidation range that got broken last month.


Minor support zone is located between 1.0950-1.0860 corresponding to the previous congestion zone established in mid-January.


Intraday bullish rejection may be expressed there as manifested on Friday's daily candlestick. However, the pair will probably retest this price zone again most likely within the current week.


The next destination for the USD/CAD pair will probably be the price zone of 1.0700-1.0730. Retesting of this zone would probably provide a valid BUY entry for the mid-term.

GBP/USD intraday technical levels and trading recommendations for February 11, 2014. Trend News

gbpdailysam.jpggbp4hhsamy.jpg


The previous multiple tops as well as a recent bottom were established around 1.6250. That's why a considerable support was provided around this price level.


The 4H chart reveals an inverted bullish Head and Shoulders pattern which was expressed around 1.6220 aiming towards a 1.6470-1.6500 "prominent resistance zone."


A valid SELL position can be taken at retesting of 1.6500, initial targets are located at 1.6370, 1.6300 then 1.6240. SL should be located above 1.6560.


Stabilization of 4H above the price zone of 1.6470-1.6500 opens the way directly towards 1.6600 as an initial target.


On the other hand, breakdown of 1.6250-1.6200 on a daily basis turns the ongoing bullish bias into a bearish one targeting at 1.6140 initially.

Daily analysis of Silver for February 11, 2014 Trend News

silver_11-1.png


As shown in the today's H4 chart, the metal failed again to break the Support level of 20.00 and is still trading above the Support level and inside its bearish channel. Currently silver is bouncing from the Support level and starting for the bullish move. So we still suggest waiting for closing above the Resistance level of 20.20 in case of bouncing from the Support level to give us a new opportunity for more buy signals with the first target few pips below the Resistance level of 20.50, then after breaking this Resistance level, silver would open the way towards the Resistance level of 20.75, which means more bullish signals, but as long as the metal trades below the Resistance level of 20.20, it cancels the bullish scenario.


Resistance and support levels: R3 (20.75) R2 (20.50) R1 (20.20) S1 (20.00) S2 (19.75) S3 (19.50)

Intraday technical levels and trading recommendations for GBP/USD for February 11, 2014 Trend News

gbpdaily.jpg


The GBP/USD pair successfully achieved its projected target around 1.6600 after the bullish breakout above 1.6250 was initiated.


Obvious bearish rejection was expressed off 1.6666 after brief consolidation above 1.6600 took place on January 25.


The GBP/USD Pair established a descending bottom at 1.6470 which is considered an Intraday Supply for the pair.


The breakdown of 1.6470 opened the way directly towards 1.6250 where bullish rejection was expressed. This was manifested in the successive HAMMER daily candlesticks expressed last week.


The nearest demand level is located at 1.6250 where a recent bottom was established on December 17 as well as previous multiple tops.


gbp4hh.jpg


As expected, bullish pressure was applied at retesting of the backside of the broken bearish channel depicted on the chart.


This pushed the pair higher again towards 1.6470 as mentioned in yesterday's article.


On the 4H chart, Price Level of 1.6470 is more prominent as an Intraday resistance.


Price Level of 1.6470 offers a valid SELL entry with SL as daily closure above 1.6500.

GOLD analysis for February 11, 2014 Trend News

goldh411.png


Overview:


Since our last analysis, gold has been trading upwards, like we expected, the price tested the level of 1,287.53 on average volume. We can observe strong demand and weak supply in the past two days. Selling at this stage looks risky because of strong demand in the background. We may see possible testing the level of 1,292.00 (FR 61.8%)-1,298.00 (FE 61.8%) and extended major bullish corrective phase. Our advice is to try to catch bullish corrective phase and to build bullish positions on the dips.

R1: 1,277.05


R2: 1,280.05


R3: 1,284.90

EUR/NZD analysis for February 11, 2014 Trend News

eurnzdh111.png


Overview:


Since our previous analysis, the EUR/NZD pair has been trading sideways, around the price of 1.6400. Our previous analysis is still active. We can observe selling climax at the price of 1.6400 and weak supply after that huge reaction. Be careful with selling this pair since we have got strong demand in the background and few selling climatic actions. In case that the price breaks the level of 1.6523, we may expect testing of our FR 61.8% at the price of 1.6624. 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. In case that the price breaks the level of 1.6360 on higher volume, we may see testing the level of 1.6310 (major Fibonacci expansion 61.8%) before any bullish movement.

R1: 1.6521

#USDX Technical analysis for February 11, 2014 Trend News

The Dollar index continues its bearish trend as it has not managed to break above short-term resistance levels at 81. We are bearish this index since it was above 81.20 and got rejected at 81.40-50 once again. Our target was the lower support trend line near 80.15-20.


usdx.jpg

The index has now fallen below the 61.8% Fibonacci support and this is not a good sign for bulls. Next short-term support at 80.45. Short-term resistance is found at 80.80 and this is the stop for bears. We continue to prefer short positions and we look to close-take profits around 80.20-30.


usdxd.jpg

The daily chart also shows the upward sloping trend line support that we target in order to close our short positions. We expect the decline to pause at that level and maybe see a reversal upwards. The longer-term price pattern of the index is sideways and we continue to see 81.50 as a level that if broken we should play the long side 100%. It is also good for longer-term bulls the fact that the index does not fall below 79. Below 79, the longer-term outlook for this index will be very bearish.

Gold technical analysis for February 11, 2014 Trend News

Gold price has held its support as noted yesterday and it continues its upward move towards our target of $1,300-$1,320. Gold price remains above the Ichimoku cloud support, continues to make higher highs and higher lows, has not broken any upward sloping trend line support and finally it has broken above its previous important high.


1392109838_goldh4.jpg

Trend is up in the short-term and we target $1,300-$1,320. Important support for bulls is $1,260 and I will raise my bullish stop to that price level. We could see a back test towards the support around $1,270-65.


1392109999_goldd.jpg

The daily chart confirms with a new higher high that trend is up and important support has held so far. Now the support area at $1,240 has become of great importance for the long-term trend. The support at $1,250-60 has become also important for the intermediate- and short-term trend. Our target is the next downward sloping trend line resistance around $1,310-20.

EUR-NZD.png


Today's Support and Resistance levels:


R3: 1.6550


R2: 1.6527


R1: 1.6485


Current spot 1.6455


S1: 1.6390


S2: 1.6344


S3: 1.6310


Technical summary:


There has been range trading between 1.6417 and 1.6527 since yesterday without much indication of the next direction. However, we still think that a break towards the upside is most likely and will be confirmed by a break above minor resistance at 1.6485 and more importantly a break above 1.6550 confirming a continuation higher towards 1.6787 and above. At this point only a break below support at 1.6390 will invalidate the bullish count and add a slight downside pressure, but the downside should be limited and at no point should support at 1.6214 be broken.


Trading recommendation:


Stay long from 1.6466 with your stop placed at 1.6346. If you are not long in EUR yet, then buy EUR upon a break above 1.6485 with the same stop at 1.6346.

1392105783_EUR-JPY.png


Today's Support and Resistance levels:


R3: 141.26


R2: 140.54


R1: 140.03


Current spot: 139.68


S1: 139.17


S2: 138.72


S3: 138.17


Technical summary:


The rally from 136.23 extended and has forced us to change the short term count. Our new preferred count shows that a series of waves i-ii is developing. If this count is correct we should soon see a top for a break below minor support at 139.50 and more importantly below support at 139.17 that will be the first good indication that, this red wave (ii) has terminated and red wave (iii) lower towards at least 131.61 is developing. However, as long as support at 139.50 protects the downside we could see a slightly higher high close to 140.25, but at no point can a break above 141.26 be allowed as that will invalidate this bearish count.


Trading recommendation:


We will sell EUR at 140.00 or upon a break below 139.50 with a stop at 141.30.

Technical analysis of gold for February 11, 2014 Trend News

Chinese traders returned to the market last Friday. Gold is around 1% higher than where it was when the holidays started, still demand has been upon China's return. China's gold consumption jumped 41% in the year 2013. Traders eye today's Fed chairwoman first semi-annual monetary policy report. Her words will give a hint whether the disappointed job report data make any changes in the Fed decision.


Gold started its upward journey after making a higher low in the last day of the year 2013. In this new year 2014 till now we completed 28 trading days. From them, only 10 trading days were red and 18 trading days were green. We can clearly see the bull hug in the daily chart. On the weekly basis, currently we are in the 6th week. Only one week was red and the rest 5 weeks were green. This is caused by lower level buying and below $1,200 is an uneconomical level.


In the weekly and daily charts gold has broken and is trading above the descending upper trend line, which is a bull factor. If we go through the chart, we observe gold completed its pull back at the level of $1,279 (38.2% retracement level) from August 2013 fall. Gold attempted 2 times to cross that level. Yesterday again it tried to cross the level. After the disappointing US job data USD cooled a bit. Friday, the US stock market rebounded, so gold stepped back. Monday, the Dow Jones closed just in green, gold rallied towards its crucial level. RSI looks still positive in the daily and weekly charts. Whereas in the hourly charts RSI does not look favorable for longs.


GOLDH1.png1392084203_GOLDDaily.png

Alert- If gold trades and sustains above the level of $1,279, next targets may be at $1,294, $1,300, and $1,307. Support exists at $1,253 and $1,242.


Intraday- Buy above $1,280, targets are $1,289 and $1,291.


Support- $1,273, $1,264, $1,260. The material has been provided by InstaForex Company - www.instaforex.com

Daily analysis of USDX for February 11, 2014 Trend News

Daily chart: The USDX has touched the support level of 80.62, so it is very likely that the USDX will start forming a bearish pattern for a breakout at that level. If successful, it is expected to fall to the level of 80.11. However, remember that this support level is very strong and could slow the USDX fall in the rest of the week, although the essential news could invalidate this hypothesis. The MACD indicator is in negative territory.


1392071928_usdxdaily.png

H4 chart: The USDX has consolidated below the 200-day moving average, but the support level of 80.55 is very strong in this chart, as the USDX formed a couple of fractals there. If the USDX manages to break the support level of 80.44, it's expected to fall to the level of 80.15. On the other hand, a bullish rebound at current levels could lead the USDX up to the 200 SMA. The MACD indicator is entering oversold area.


usdxh4.png

H1 chart: The USDX is maintained within the range between the 80.73 and 80.59 levels. At the level of 80.73, the USDX has formed a point of control, which would give strength to the curb level to the USDX bullish road for this week. If the USDX manages to break the support level of 80.59, it's expected to fall to the level of 80.35. The MACD indicator is still in positive territory.


1392071964_usdxh1.png


Trading recommendations for today: Based on the H1 chart, place sell (short) orders only if the USD Index breaks with a bearish candlestick; the support level is at 80.59, take profit is at 80.35, and stop loss is at 80.83.

Daily analysis of GBP/USD for February 11, 2014 Trend News

Daily chart: The GBP/USD had a session yesterday rather slow, as this pair failed to climb to the resistance level of 1.6447. For now, it is very likely that this pair will begin to form a bullish pattern to try to climb up to that level. However, the GBP/USD could perform deeper correcitve movements to the support level of 1.6326. The MACD indicator is in negative territory.


gbpusddaily.png


H4 chart: This pair found dynamic resistance at the 200-day moving average, so it is expected that the GBP/USD will fall to the support level of 1.6336. On the other hand, if the pair manages to make a breakout at the resistance level of 1.6441, it's expected to rise to the level of 1.6464. For now, the hypothesis that the GBP/USD make a bearish rebound at current levels is maintained. The MACD indicator is entering overbought area.


1392071790_gbpusdh4.png


H1 chart: Near 200 SMA, the GBP/USD is forming a point of control, which can generate bearish pressure on this pair. If the GBP/USD manages to break the support level of 1.6375, it's expected to fall to the level of 1.6338. On the other hand, we must be vigilant against a breakout at the level of 1.6419, as this would invalidate our bearish outlook for this pair. The MACD indicator is entering neutral territory.


gbpusdh1.png


Trading recommendations for today: Based on the H1 chart, place sell (short) orders only if the GBP/USD pair breaks a bearish candlestick; the support level is at 1.6375, take profit is at 1.6338, and stop loss is at 1.6411.
