Fundamental analysis of USD/JPY for April 08, 2014 Trend News

The BOJ agreed to maintain the 0.10% interest rate and monetary policy unchanged, in line with expectations. Japan also will release February figures for its current account, which is expected to show a surplus of 618.1 billion yen following the 1.589 trillion yen shortfall in January. The US dollar weakened in front of the FOMC meeting minutes on Wednesday.


Technical view-


The pair is taking crucial support at 103.0 levels. In Asia's trading session the pair is trading at 103.09 levels. The pair is in a strong up trend from 100.75 levels. The pair made a short-term top at 104.11 levels. For the week April 08-11, the pair has a strong support at 102 levels. A day close below this will face some selling pressure in the short term up to 100.60-100.0 levels. Currently, it's a buy on dip strategy for this pair. This strategy will be terminated once this pair closes the week below 102 levels.


In the down side, the support levels exist at 103-102.8, 102. A break below 102 levels leads to a short-term fall to 100 levels, with intermediate support at 101.71, 101.20, and 100.75.

Until the pair trades below the 50SMA, it looks weak. RSI is giving a buying signal. The pair is looking for a strong base to change its direction upwards. After a day close above the 0.8878 level, fresh up move will be intact for 0.8928 first and 0.8952. We will see new high (0.90) when the pair closes above the 0.8928 level.

USDX is likely to make a bullish rebound in these levels and rise again to the resistance level of 80.35. However, care should be taken with a possible breakout in the support level of 80.09. The MACD indicator is in negative territory.


usdxh4.png

USD/CAD has been in a downtrend from 1.1279 levels. In Asia's trading session, the pair is trading at 1.0976 levels. The pair is taking support at 1.0955 level (March 06 low). In the H4 chart, RSI is giving a positive divergence. I expect the price to move upwards to the 1.1, above this, 1.1030 levels. Short covering will take place once the pair crosses above the 1.1030 to 1.1045 and 1.1066 levels. The short-term trend will change once the pair crosses above the 1.1078 (March 28 high).


USDCADH4.png

For positional view-


On the down side, below 1.0955, a March 26 low, the bulls have final support at 1.09 levels. This is sl for my pullback view. Below 1.09, bears trumpet will stay on up to 1.0843, 1.08 and 1.7249. In case of a day close above the 1.1078 levels, the bulls trumpet will stay on up to 1.1107 and 1.1170 levels. If the level of 1.1078 is not crossed in 2 days, huge selling will take place for new lower targets.


USDCADDaily.png

Recommendation - cmp 1.0971.


Buy at the current market price or in a dip up to 1.0910 with sl 1.09 and targets at 1.1, 1.1030 1.1065, and 1.1078 levels.

1396910120_nzdusdh1.png

Trading recommendations :



  • The NZD/USD pair on March 8, 2014. The resistance is going to set at the level of 0.8660. It should be noted that the level of 0.8660 is coinciding with the ratio of 78.6% Fibonacci retracement levels. Consequently, the descending movement will probably be lower than the 0.8660 level, with the targets at 0.8616, and the market will lead to further decline to 0.8560 today in order to indicate a correctional movement at this level. Meanwhile, the daily chart represents a strong support at 0.8560. Furthermore, it will be very profitable to buy above this level for retesting this level in the short period. Therefore, buy deals are recommended above the 0.8560 level with targets at 0.8590 and 0.8630 to reach the ratio of 61.8%.

Weekly technical levels of USD/CHF for March 8-11, 2014 Trend News

The Weekly technical levels of USD/CHF pair.


1396908711_swissy-pp.png

Tips :



  • R3 and S3 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 on the sideways markets as the prices are most likely to be located between the R1 and S1 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 R1 or S1 and even reach R2 and R3 or S2 and S3.


usdchfh1.png


Observations :



  • If the trend is of an upside character, then the strength of the currency will be defined as follows: USD is in an uptrend and CHF is in 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 in the long term, you will surely lose your profit.


Overview :



  • The USD/CHF pair was calling for the bullish market from the level of 0.8840 last week.

  • The level of 0.8840 is representing support 1.

  • As it is know, history will probably repeat itself at this level again. Therefore, it will a good sign to buy above 0.8840 with the first target of 0.8895 (the weekly pivot point). It will call for uptrend in order to continue its bullish movement towards 0.8930.

  • Stop loss should never exceed your maximum exposure amounts.

  • Consequently, the stop loss should be placed below the double bottom at the price of 0.8805.

Technical analysis of USD/JPY for April 7, 2014 Trend News

USDJPYM30.png


Overview:


USD/JPY is expected to trade in lower range. It is undermined by the selling of the yen crosses amid increased risk aversion (VIX fear gauge rose 4.41% to 13.96) as S&P tumbled 1.25% Friday and weaker dollar sentiment after U.S. created less-than-expected 192,000 new jobs in March (versus 200,000 forecast), while the unemployment rate remained unchanged at 6.7% (versus 6.6% forecast). USD/JPY is also weighed by the lower U.S. Treasury yields and Japan's exports sales. But USD/JPY losses are tempered by the demand from the Japanese importers and loose Bank of Japan monetary policy.


Technical сomment:
Daily chart is mixed as MACD is bullish, but stochastics is turned bearish at overbought zone.


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 102.95. A breach of this target will move the pair further downwards to 102.70. The pivot point stands at 103.45. In case the price moves in the opposite direction and bounces back from support level, and then it moves above its pivot point, it is likely to move further to the upside. In that scenario, a long position is recommended with the first target at 103.70 and the second target at 104.10.

Technical analysis of USD/CHF for April 7, 2014 Trend News


Overview:

It is supported by the franc sales on soft CHF/JPY cross and on buoyant EUR/CHF cross and dovish Swiss National Bank's monetary policy stance.

NZDUSDM30.png


Overview:


NZD/USD is expected to trade in higher range. It is supported by the weaker dollar sentiment, hopes of further stimulus in China and hawkish Reserve Bank of New Zealand's monetary policy stance. But NZD/USD gains are tempered by the kiwi sales on NZD/JPY cross amid increased investor risk aversion. Daily chart is still negative-biased as MACD and stochastics is in bearish mode.


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 0.8635 and the second target at 0.8675.

Daily analysis of Silver for April 07, 2014 Trend News

silver_7-4.png


From the today's H4 chart, the metal is trading between the support level of 19.75 and below the resistance level of 20.20 after its failure to break the resistance level last week and bounced from it to take a slightly downward move and currently is re-testing the support level of 19.75 repeating last week's scenario. Presently, we suggest waiting for closing above the resistance level of 20.20 in case it bounces 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 20.90, which means more bullish signals.


Resistance and support levels: R3 (20.90), R2 (20.50), R1 (20.20), S1 (19.75) S2 (19.50)

Daily analysis of GBP/JPY for April 07, 2014 Trend News

gbpjpy_7-4.png


Overview


From the today's H4 chart, we find that the pair opened this week above the support level of 170.50 and below the resistance level of 171.50. Currently, it is testing the resistance level of 171.50 to continue its bullish trend. Given that the pair continues its bullish movement and closes 4H above the resistance level, it would be another opportunity for more bullish signals with first target few pips below the resistance level of 172.00, then we should wait for breaking above this resistance level to get more bullish signals towards the resistance level of 173.00 as the second target. But as long as the price is trading below the resistance level of 171.50 and cannot break it through, this cancels the bullish scenario.


Resistance and support levels: R3 (173.00) R2 (172.00) R1 (171.50), S1 (170.50), S2 (169.75), S3 (169.20).

Intraday technical levels and trading recommendations for EUR/USD for April 7, 2014 Trend News

eurdaily.jpg


Daily fixation below 1.3870 gathered enough bearish pressure to push towards the recent demand zone around 1.3700.


Thus, the EUR/USD pair established a new supply level at 1.3845. It rejected the bulls on March 24 strongly so any further visits should be considered for selling.


At the end of the previous week, there has been an intraday demand level expressed at 1.3700 which paused the recent slide off 1.3965 pushing again towards 1.3800.


The price level of 1.3820 corresponds to previous significant tops. Bearish rejection was expressed at retesting that took place last week.


That's why, bearish pressure is being applied on price level of 1.3700 to get broken this time.


eur4h.jpg


The price zone of 1.3830-1.3850 remains a significant supply zone. It provided a valid sell entry at the previous retesting on March 24.


On the other hand, as expected, failure to fix above 1.3790 exposed the recent low established at 1.3700 to be retested again which is taking place today.


Four-hour candlestick fixation below which opens the way towards lower lows to be visited at 1.3655 ( Fibonacci Expansion 100% ) and 1.3580.


Please note that the uptrend line comes to meet the pair roughly at 1.3700-1.3680 which acquires this level a significant importance as an intraday support.

Intraday technical levels and trading recommendations for GBP/USD for April 7, 2014 Trend News

gbpdaily.jpg


Around price level of 1.6780, a double-top pattern scenario was established with the neckline located around the price zone of 1.6620-1.6660.


Daily fixation below this price zone enabled the pair to reach 1.6464 (61.8% Fibonacci) as a projection target.


The recently achieved low of 1.6465 (also corresponding to a previous uptrend line) prevented further decline. Yet, the bulls were unable to fix above 1.6630-1.6666 (corresponding to a prominent top established on January 24).


This applied bearish pressure to push the pair back towards 1.6545 ( corresponding to the uptrend line and 50% Fibonacci ). Price action should be watched at retesting.


A slide below price zone of 1.6550-1.6535 applies bearish pressure on the pair to pursue towards lower lows around 1.6510 and 1.6470.


Otherwise, the uptrend remains intact and the bulls would be targeting at 1.6750-1.6775.


gbp4h.jpg


As suggested, the price zone of 1.6666-1.6690 offered a valid sell entry. Stop loss should be lowered to be four-hour closure above 1.6650.


The bears need to achieve a four-hour closure below 1.6600 to push for further lows. However, until now there's bullish support being offered at 1.6550 ( Friday's lowest price level ).


Moreover, there's lack of bearish follow up below 1.6600. All we can see is weak bearish candlesticks which can result in bullish reversal anytime.


On the other hand, four-hour fixation above 1.6650 will be a signal of weakness of the bears to pursue their downtrend exposing price levels of 1.6680 and 1.6775 for retesting.

EUR/AUD intraday technical levels and trading recommendations for April 7, 2014 Trend News

euraud.jpg


Since last February, the EUR/AUD pair has been moving sideways with a slightly bullish tendency. This movement was maintained above the depicted uptrend line.


On March 12, the bulls failed to establish an ascending top. Instead, a double-top reversal pattern was established at 1.5500. The neckline was located at 1.5200-1.5170.


Success of the Double Top pattern not only achieved its projection target at 1.4820-1.4800, but confirmed a bigger Head and Shoulders pattern as well.


The bears managed to break down 1.4950 corresponding to 50% Fibonacci level last week (the nearest Support level). This exposed price level of 1.4750 ( 61.8% Fibonacci ).


On the long-term prospective, projection targets of the H&S reversal pattern are projected towards 1.4350 roughly.


Daily closure above 1.4740 will probably hinder further bearish progression giving some time for sideway consolidation at least for retesting of 1.4945 (50% Fibonacci) which is a prominent resistance now.


On the other hand, daily closure below 1.4740 will open the way towards 1.4350 as a projection target for the long-term bearish pattern.

USD/CAD intraday technical levels and trading recommendations for April 7, 2014 Trend News

1396868682_caddaily.jpg


The previous Support zone around 1.0900 (50%-61.8% Fibonacci Levels) provided considerable support at retesting on February 19 where the USD/CAD pair established a consolidation zone between 1.0960 and 1.1190.


The depicted chart shows that the USD/CAD bulls didn't apply enough bullish momentum above 1.1200. As expected, this exposed price zone of 1.1000-1.1020 which is being tested now.


Until now there's no bullish price action being expressed.


In case the current support doesn't hold price above, the next support zone to meet the pair is located at 1.0920-1.0840 which comes to meet significant Fibonacci levels of the recent bullish swing. It's expected to provide a considerable bullish pressure.


On the other hand, the price zone of 1.1130-1.1150 is expected to provide a considerable resistance as well. This price zone corresponds to the previous tops established on March 12, February 21, and January 30 as well as the upper limit of the depicted triangle.


Any further visiting will probably offer a valid sell entry with stop loss located just above 1.1185.


The pair remains trapped between the price levels of 1.0960 and 1.1150 within the depicted triangle. Bearish breakout of the lower limit of the triangle is more likely to occur.

Weekly technical levels of GBP/USD for March 7-11, 2014 Trend News

Pivot point formula :



  • Pivot point = (high (previous) + low (previous) + close (previous)) / 3


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 prices are most likely to be located 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 trend breaks resistance or support through is likely to result in a significant price movement, it is also referred to as breakout.



gbpusd_pp.png


gbpusdh1.png



Notes :



  • It should be noted that if there is no significant news to influence, the market price will be moving from pivot point to resistance 1 or support 1. But if there is significant news to influence, the market price may go straight through resistance 1 or support 1 and reach resistance 2 or support 2 and even resistance 3 or support 3.

  • According to the previous events, the GBP/USD pair is going to move between 1.6610 and 1.6545.

  • The resistance will be set at the level of 1.6655 and the support has already been placed at the price of 1.6525

  • We expect a new range about 205 pips this week.

  • The key level will set at the level of 1.6683.

  • The level of 1.6683 is going to represent the double top.

1396864948_golddaily07.png


goldh407.png


Overview:


Since our last analysis, gold has been trading upwards, the price tested the level of 1,306.50 on volume below the average. Our previous analysis is still active and we've got good progress. According to the daily chart, we can observe demand bar on volume below the average. Gold tested and rejected from our submajor Fibonacci retracement 38.2% at the price of 1,302.00. According to the short-term prospective, Gold is in progress of bearish corrective phase and I've placed Fibonacci Retracement to find the first down station. I've got Fibonacci Retracement 61.8% at the price of 1,263.00. If the price breaks the level of 1,279.00 on higher volume, we may see testing the level of 1,263.00. According to the H1 timeframe, we can observe demand on ultra high volume (buying climax) and abcd bullish corrective form. I placed Fibonacci extension levels to find the potential end of bullish corrective phase and I have got Fibonacci extension 100% at the price of 1,298.40 and Fibonacci extension 161.8% at the price of 1.308.90. If the Gold breaks the level of 1,309.00 on high volume, next major resistance may be at the price of 1,321.00 ( major Fibonacci retracement 38.2%). Since we got buying climax according to the 4H timeframe, buying at this stage looks very risky, watch for selling opportunities after the bullish correction.


Daily pivot Fibonacci points:

R1: 1,304.39


R2: 1,305.15


R3: 1,306.37

Trading recommendation: Trading the metal, be careful with short-term buying at this stage since gold is in progress of major bearish corrective phase. Watch for selling opportunities after retracement.

Technical analysis of USD/CAD for April 7, 2014 Trend News

General overview for 07/04/2014 10:10 CET


The downside momentum is loosing its strength a bit and this is why I have decided to keep the alternate count on the chart as there is still a possibility of an expanding flat correction in wave 2 green before the downtrend resumes. The key intraday level to watch is the intraday resistance zone between the levels of 1.1000 - 1.1011. Any breakout higher would mean the golden trendline will be tested and the target after a sustained breakout of this line would be the level of 1.1066. On the other hand, any failure at the key level would mean that more downside wave development is in progress.


Support/Resistance:


1.1148 - WR3


1.1108 - WR2


1.1066 - 1.1076 - Technical Resistance


1.1031 - WR1


1.1000 - 1.1011 - Key Level


1.0995 - Weekly Pivot


1.0956 - Swing Low


1.0921 - WS1


Trading recommendations:


The swing traders should keep the short positions open and wait if the level of 1.1066 will be tested.


The daytraders should watch the key level here for a possible short opportunity and open sell orders at the level of 1.1000 with SL above the level of 1.1017 and TP at the level of 1.0921.

#USDX technical analysis for April 7, 2014 Trend News

The Dollar index spiked higher on Friday breaking above 80.30-40 short-term resistance and moving higher towards our target of 80.70. The Dollar index managed to reach 80.60 but the strong resistance in that area has made it pull back and back test the broken resistance at 80.30-40.


usdx.jpg

Short-term trend remains up. Price is above the Ichimoku cloud and makes higher highs and higher lows. The short-term chart as shown above confirms that short-term trend is up. Short-term support is found at 80.30 and short-term resistance is at 80.60.


usdxd.jpg

The Daily chart above shows why it is difficult for the Dollar index to break above 80.70 as this is where the Ichimoku cloud resistance is. I expect a back test of the trend line near 80.20-30 and if this trend line support holds, then we should expect another move upwards to break above the Ichimoku cloud and confirm our new target of 81.30. Important support for the longer-term bullish view we have in the Dollar index, is the 79.70 level. A break below this level will be catastrophic for our bullish scenario.

Gold technical analysis for April 7, 2014 Trend News

Gold price confirmed its upward reversal on Friday by breaking above $1,295, and it is confirming that the short-term trend is up as a higher low and higher high has been formed. The decline from $1,391 has most probably been completed and I am now looking for a bounce towards $1,315 first and then towards $1,350. This upward bounce scenario will be valid as long as price holds above $1,275.


goldh4.jpg

Short-term support is found at $1,293 and then at $1,285. It is important for the short-term upward trend to hold above the horizontal green trend line and the upward sloping red trend line. The short-term trend is up and is trading inside the Ichimoku cloud. Trading within the cloud confirms that the down trend that started at $1,391 is now over.


goldd.jpg

The daily chart has found support inside the upward sloping Ichimoku cloud as we expected and as I updated my last week's chart, the move I expected initially to at least the 38% retracement where the 1st important resistance is found. Next I would anticipate a small rejection at the 38% retracement and another leg up towards the 50% retracement. Concluding, we remain bullish as long as price trades above $1,275. The target if $1,275 holds is the $1,340-50 area.

EUR-NZD.png


Today's Support and Resistance levels:


R3: 1.6012


R2: 1.5991


R1: 1.5965


Current spot: 1.5935


S1: 1.5903


S2: 1.5876


S3: 1.5836


Technical summary:


The decline from 1.6180 is clearly impulsive and the final red wave v is unfolding for a decline towards the ideal target at 1.5530. In the short term we are looking for a minor low near 1.5876 for a minor correction to just below strong support at 1.5975 before the next move lower towards 1.5766 and below. We have to remember, that this is the final move lower in the major correction, which has been unfolding since August 2013 and once this correction is over, we should look for renewed upside pressure.


Trading recommendation:


Stay short in EUR from 1.6175 and lower your stop to 1.5985. If you are not short in EUR yet, then sell near 1.5975 with the same stop.

Today's Support and Resistance levels:


R3: 142.28


R2: 142.01


R1: 141.67


Current spot: 141.34


S1: 141.19


S2: 140.73


S3: 140.42


Technical summary:


As expected the decline from the 143.47 high was impulsive and more downside pressure should be seen. As the target for blue wave iii we are looking for a move closer to 140.73 before a correction higher to just below strong short-term support at 141.66 in blue wave iv. Once blue wave iv is over, we should see the next impulsive decline, which ideally will end just below 139.96 and end red wave i and set the stages for a correction in red wave ii towards 141.66 and maybe even higher towards 142.09.


Trading recommendation:


Stay short from 142.35 and move your stop lower to 141.70 and take profit at 140.05. If you are not short in EUR yet, then sell EUR near 141.66 with the same stop and take profit.

Technical analysis of EUR/JPY for April 07, 2014 Trend News


Technical outlook and chart setups:


1. The EUR/JPY pair reveres from the following convergence levels.


i. Ahead of the fibonacci 0.786 resistance at 143.80 as seen here (previous lower top)


ii. The trend line resistance offered by cone/triangle setup.


iii. Trading signal produced was an evening star according to Daily chart setup.


Keeping all the above in consideration, it is recommended to remain short, risk remains at 144.00. A break of 140.00 would prove to be further bearish.


2. Key resistance is at 144.00, followed by 145.50, while supports are at 140.00, followed by 138.50 and 136.00 for now.


3. The structure indicates that a break below the cone support line and 140.00 would instill further confidence on the developing bearish setup. Please note that intraday rallies should remain well capped below the 144.00 level if bears want to retain control.


Trading recommendations:


Remain short, set stop at 144.00, target is open.


Good luck!

Technical analysis of Gold for April 07, 2014 Trend News

The US total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 192,000 in March, and the unemployment rate was unchanged at 6.7 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported on Friday. Employment grew in professional and business services, in health care, and in mining and logging.


Technical view-


Gold prices pushed up towards the resistance level of 1,307. In Asia's trading session, the metal is trading at 1,302. In the hourly charts, the RSI is in overbought conditions, witnessing some selling pressure. The metal is quite in Asia's trading session, due to national holiday in China. We expect the price will come back up to 1,298-1,297 levels. Once broken below these levels, the metal will extend its fall to 1,295 and 1,293 levels. The level of 1,309 is the crucial for bulls to cross and close above that. This week, if the metal closes below the level of 1,312, it is no good for longs.


Go long with sl at 1,297 for targets at 1,307, 1,311, 1,317, and 1,324.


If any rise, risky traders, go short with sl at 1,310 on a closing basis (positional).


GOLDH1.png

NOTE:


Above 1,307, only next targets will come.


Above 1,317, only 1,324 will be possible.


Risky traders, go short below 1,297 for targets at 1,293, 1289, 1,281, and 1,277.


Safe traders, go short below 1,293 for targets at 1,289, 1,281 and 1,277.
