Daily analysis of major pairs for March 17, 2014 Trend News

EUR/USD: The bias on this pair is bullish, and the price is expected to trend higher this week. The possibility of pullbacks cannot be ruled out, but the threats should be contained at the support lines of 1.3850 and 1.3800 respectively. Meanwhile, the resistance line at 1.4000 is a valid target for this week.


1.png

USD/CHF: This is a bear market, although it is slow and tardy in manner. The support level at 0.8700 has been tested and it is should be easily re-tested, and breached to the downside. After this, the price would then go further downwards towards the support level at 0.8650 – which is our target for this week.


2.png

GBP/USD: The Cable, which is in kind of a trendless market, remains difficult for swing traders to handle. Only intraday strategies are recommended here. One may buy at the distribution territory of 1.6700 and sell at the accumulation territory of 1.6600, as long as the trendless phase holds out. Eventually, there is a serious breakout going to be that leads to a clear directional bias. When this happens, it is more likely to be towards the downside, until a bearish indication in the chart.


3.png

USD/JPY: Since the USD/JPY is extremely bearish, we are looking forward to selling on rallies this week. Yes, in the face of the current Bearish Confirmation Pattern in the chart, the only sensible thing is to seek a short trade when the price dippes in a downtrend. The price may reach the demand level at 100.50 this week.


4.png

EUR/JPY: EUR may not be as weak as USD, but the stamina in the yen is more than what the currency could withstand. This cross dropped throughout last week and the bearish scenario on it was confirmed. We are bearish for this week.

Weekly technical levels of GBP/USD for March 17-21, 2014 Trend News

General idea about the pivot point .



  • Resistance 3 and support 3 are considered to be clear indicators of the maximum range of extreme volatility, though it is possible to pass them through. Pivot lines work well in the sideways markets, as the prices are most likely to be between the resistance 1 and support 1 lines. Within a strong trend, the price is expected to be lower than the pivot point line and continue moving. If the breaking news released may affect the market, the price is likely to go straight through resistance 1 or support 1 and even reach resistance 2 and resistance 3 or support 2 and support 3. If the trend breaks resistance or support through, it is likely to result in a significant price movement, it is also referred to a breakout.



gbpusd_pp.png


gbpusdh1.png



Observations :



  • If the trend is of an upside character, then the strength of the currency will be defined as following: GBP is an uptrend and USD is a downtrend.

  • Fibonacci retracement is used to determine accurate psychological levels of support and resistance. The period of time should be taken into account. Fibonacci is in a range trade; it looks like the trend is trapping and going up or down. If you sell or buy for a long term in this period, you will surely lose your profit.

  • Stop loss should never exceed your maximum exposure amounts.

  • As a rule, the market is highly volatile if the last day had a huge volatility.


Technical Levels :



  • Projected high: 1.6895

  • Strong resistance (sell limit): 1.6975

  • Current pivot: 1.6654

  • Strong support (buy limit): 1.6395

  • Projected low: 1.6410
