  • The first key level will set at the level of 1.6900 and the second key level will set at the 1.6985 level today. Also, it might notice that the both levels are representing the weekly resistance 1 and resistance 2 respectively. Equally important, the price of the GBP/USD pair has still been moving between 1.6900 and 1.6950. Additionally, it should be noted that the range will be about 80 pips today. Moreover, the trend is very clear and indicating uptrend. Accordingly, we expect that the trend is going to call for the bullish market at the level of 1.6855. As a result, buy at the price of 1.6855 with the first target of 1.6905, it might resume to 1.6986 in order to test the weekly resistance 2. On the other hand, your stop loss should be placed below the weekly pivot point which sets at the 1.6815 level, thus it will helpful to set it at the price of 1.6780 this week.

eurnzdh421.png


Overview


Since our previous analysis, the EUR/NZD pair has been trading upwards, the price tested the level of 1.6016 on volume below the average according to the 4H timeframe. As you can see in the graph our Fibonacci retracement 61.8% at the price of 1.6010 got tested and we saw rejection from that point just like we expected. Also there is a major Fibonacci retracement 61.8% at the price of 1.6075. According to the 4H timeframe, we may observe that supply overcoming demand on higher volume, which is a sign that buying looks risky. To confirm futrher larger bearish movement, as like we already wrote, price needs to break the level of 1.5745 (major swing low) on higher volume. Support level is around the price of 1.5910 (previous swing high).


Daily pivot Fibonacci points:


Resistance levels:


R1: 1.5994


R2: 1.6022


R3: 1.6066


Support levels:


S1: 1.5905


S2 : 1.5877


S3: 1.5832


Trading recommendation: Be careful with buying the EUR/NZD and watch for selling opportunities after retracement.

goldh421.png


Overview:


Since our last analysis, gold has been trading upwards, as we expected, the price rejected from our Fibonacci retracement 61.8% at the price of 1,290.00 on very high volume. As you can see in the chart, our Fibonacci retracement 61.8% at 1,290.00 held successfully again, which is sign that selling at this stage looks very risky. According to the Daily timeframe, we can observe strong bullish reactions in the background from our support 1,277.00 on higher volume, which is a sign that short-term selling looks very risky. According to the 1h timeframe, there is an strong demand overcoming supply on high volume, which is another sign for potential bullish movement. We can conclude that the price of 1,305.00 (swing low) is strong resistance and just if the price breaks that level on hgiher volume we may see further bullish continuation. Be careful with selling since we got second rejection from our Fibonacci zone.


Daily pivot Fibonacci points:


Resistance levels:


R1: 1,296.83


R2: 1,299.41


R3: 1,303.57

Daily analysis of major pairs for May 21, 2014 Trend News

EUR/USD: This is a weak pair, although it has been trying to consolidate to the upside so far in this week. The upside consolidation should be halted at the resistance line of 1.3750; otherwise the bearish outlook would be in a serious jeopardy (especially as the weak pair becomes a strong one).


1.png

USD/CHF: The market made a weak bullish attempt this week, but this resulted in a shallow bearish retracement, which should not take the price below the support levels at 0.8900 and 0.8850. A movement below the support level at 0.8850 could render the bullish bias useless, but as long as the price is above it, it would be safe to think the market is bullish.


2.png

GBP/USD: In the context of a downtrend, the GBP/USD has been trying to go upwards – with a meager 40 pips. The upwards attempt is limited by the bears’ stubbornness, and should the bulls become fed up, the price may drop from there. When the price closes above the distribution territory at 1.6850, and the EMA 11 crosses the EMA 56 to the upside, a new bullish signal would form.


3.png

USD/JPY: There is a significant bearish outlook on the USD/JPY. The demand level at 101.00 has been attacked violently, and the price has a high possibility of closing below it at last. Once this is done, the price would target the next demand zone at 100.50, which would be our next target in this bear market.


4.png

EUR/JPY: This currency trading instrument has a bearish trend on it. The EMA 11 is below the EMA 56 and the RSI period 14 is below the level 50. The price may continue to go lower.

Intraday technical levels and trading recommendations on EUR/USD for May 21, 2014 Trend News

eurdaily.jpg


In March, failure of the bulls to fixate above 1.3880 applied enough bearish pressure to form a bearish leg towards the recent demand zone around 1.3700.


At retesting of 1.3700, significant bullish pressure was applied pausing the bearish decline off 1.3965 which led to another ascending limb towards 1.3880.


The last bullish breakout above 1.3880 topped at 1.3950 (Notice the most recent top established around 1.3965) showing bearish domination of the market which formed another bearish leg.


The price level of 1.3800 has offered support for few weeks until we had bearish breakdown when the market expressed a strong full-body bearish daily candlestick as depicted on the chart.


Thus, a double-top reversal pattern is being established with neckline located at 1.3700 where a strong bullish daily candlestick was expressed indicating bullish presence around there.


Last week, the bears produced quite strong bearish reaction that broke-down successive support levels around 1.3800 and 1.3745.


This indicates the dominant bearish momentum with high probability to achieve the reversal pattern projection targets after breakdown of 1.3700 handle (neckline of the double-top pattern).


eur4h.jpg


Previously, the depicted uptrend line (the blue trendline) came to meet the pair roughly at 1.3700-1.3680 enhancing this price zone as significant intraday demand. This led to the recent bullish impulse above 1.3880.


The recent established bottom around 1.3810 could achieve higher value above 1.3880. The bulls topped at 1.3950. However, these levels corresponded to the upper limit of the ongoing bullish channel which applied significant bearish reaction.


A strong corrective movement towards 1.3850 and 1.3800 was executed immediately as expected. This led again towards 1.3770 and cleared the way towards 1.3690 ( previous prominent bottom ).


For the bulls, the price zone of 1.3710 - 1.3670 remains the nearest demand level for them to initiate a bullish corrective move towards 1.3740.


A short-term bullish "Head and Shoulders" pattern is being established on the 4H chart. The right shoulder was established on Friday around 1.3690 offering a valid BUY entry with stop loss located below 1.3640.


The bullish corrective movement will be targeting at 1.3800 as long as the recent bottom around 1.3650 remains defended by the bulls.


Breakdown of the recent bottom 1.3640 invalidates the bullish scenario in the short-term prospective.

Technical analysis of EUR/JPY for May 21, 2014 Trend News


Technical outlook and chart setups:


1. The EUR/JPY pair seems to be drifting lower towards 138.00 levels for now. Please note that an intermediary line of support is passing through at the moment and a bullish bounce could be possible ahead of 138.00/137.80 levels. Recommendations are to still remain long with risk just below 138.00. A break below would confirm that the pair is heading to fresh lows.


2. Support is seen at 138.00 (fibonacci), followed by 136.00, 134.00 and lower while resistance is at 141.00, followed by 142.50, 143.50/144.00 and 145.50 respectively.


3. The structure indicates that EUR/JPY would accelerate downside below 138.00 levels. A bullish reversal at the moment would be required to instill further confidence in the bullish setup.


Trade recommendations:


Remain long with stop at 138.00 OR Remain flat.


Good luck!

EUR/AUD intraday technical levels and trading recommendations for May 21, 2014 Trend News

eurauddaily.jpgeuraud4h.jpg


On March 24, by breaking down 1.5175, the Double Top pattern could not only achieve its projection target at 1.4820-1.4800, but it also confirmed a bigger Head and Shoulders pattern.


The bears managed to break down 1.4950 corresponding to 50% Fibonacci level once before (the nearest support level). This exposed the price level of 1.4750 (61.8% Fibonacci) on March 10.


Previously, bullish pull-back was initiated off 1.4670. Two bullish spikes above 1.4950 (50% Fibonacci level on the daily chart) were executed. However, the bulls fail to pursue the bullish breakout leading to failure of the bullish breakout attempt.


On the other hand, Intraday support level around 1.4850 failed to provide enough support for the pair. Instead, bearish breakdown took place pushing towards 1.4730 (61.8% Fibonacci level) which was broken down as well as depicted on the chart.


Overall, the daily chart suggested bearish tendency especially when the daily candlesticks maintained closures below 1.4700.


On the other hand, price zone above 1.4570-1.4520 provided strong support to pause the ongoing bearish momentum.


The pair returned to trade above 1.4740 (61.8% Fibonacci) and probably aiming for levels around 1.4900 for retesting.


Price zone 1.4870-1.4900 represents the backside of the successful wedge pattern.


Retesting of this price zone will probably offer a valid SELL entry with SL located just above 1.4950.

USD/CAD intraday technical levels and trading recommendations for May 21, 2014 Trend News

caddaily.jpgcad4h.jpg


The USD/CAD bulls failed to show enough momentum above 1.1200 during the last visit on March 20. The bears took advantage and pushed the pair towards the price zone of 1.0910-1.0850 (50-61.8% Fibonacci levels on the daily chart).


Although previous daily closure below 1.0920 took place, it didn't take long time to get a bullish engulfing daily candlestick as a bullish reaction on the next day pushed the pair again towards 1.1000.


On the other hand, in the 4H chart, the price zone of 1.0995-1.1045 (38.2% Fibonacci of the most recent bearish swing) was expected to provide a valid sell entry and it did.


Later on, price zone of 1.0875-1.0830 (extending down to 61.8% Fibonacci level and the lower limit of the ongoing movement ) provided significant bullish pressure.


The market has shown significant bullish recovery around 1.0830 (bullish engulfing daily candlestick) aiming to push higher towards 1.0910-1.0950 and probably 1.0980 where 38.2% Fibonacci level is located on the 4H chart.


Bearish positions can be taken again at the price zone of 1.0940-1.0950. It's the most recent resistance zone that comes to meet the pair. Bearish targets are estimated to be at 1.0910 and 1.0950 initially. SL should be located slightly above 1.1000.


Bearish breakdown of 1.0840 will probably expose 1.0800 immediately where 61.8% Fibonacci level is located.


As expected, a sideway consolidation zone between 1.0930-1.0830 is being established for sometime before bearish breakout can take place towards the lower limit of the ongoing channel around 1.0770.

#USDX Technical analysis for May 21, 2014 Trend News

The Dollar index cannot make a new higher high and is pulling back lower as expected below 80 and towards 79.85-.70. The Dollar index is moving lower towards the Ichimoku cloud support as we expected in our last analysis.


usdx.jpg

The Dollar index is heading towards the 38% retracement which is our target and now this target is inside the Ichimoku cloud support. Next important support for the Dollar index is the 79.60 level. Below that we find the 61.8% retracement at the 79.45 level. I prefer to wait to see where this downward move stops before trying to pick a bottom. Important short-term resistance is found at 80.15. A break above that level will signal that the decline is most probably over.


usdxd.jpg

The daily chart continues to show the Dollar index is trying to break above the Ichimoku cloud resistance. A break above 80.40 will be a good bullish sign for the index that could push it towards 80.70. Currently the Dollar index is pulling back and stays inside the Ichimoku cloud, something that tells us that the pull back might be shallow and only reach our 38% fibonacci target.

Gold technical analysis for May 21, 2014 Trend News

Gold remains inside the sideways triangle pattern. Volatility is expected soon to rise and Gold price to start a new move. Gold price will soon start a new move as we expect volatility to rise as this sideways move has lasted too long and the price range is getting tighter.


1400656624_gold.jpg

Gold price is in a tight price range. Short-term triangle resistance is found at $1,305-09. Short-term triangle support is found at $1,285-83. A break of either level will signal a buy or sell respectively. If resistance is broken we should expect Gold price to reach $1,330 and why not surpass it. If support is broken we should expect the recent lows at $1,268-70 to be tested and most probably broken. If price breaks $1,331 we will then go to $1,350. If $1,268 is broken we should expect a move down to $1,200.


goldd.jpg

The daily chart above also shows how important the role of the Ichimoku cloud resistance that it will play in the near term. Even if price breaks above $1,309 we should be aware of a fake break out as the Ichimoku cloud resistance could push the price back down even after the break out. Such a fake breakout, if it occurs, will signal extreme weakness favoring our longer-term target of $1,100.

Elliott wave analysis of EUR/NZD for May 21, 2014 Trend News

2014-05-21-EURNZD-8H.png


Today's Support and Resistance levels:


R3: 1.6136


R2: 1.6083


R1: 1.6043


Current spot: 1.6002


S1: 1.5991


S2: 1.5966


S3: 1.5923


Technical summary:


The strong rally we saw yesterday is clearly what we would expect from wave three and is very encouraging of our view that a major long-term bottom is in place at 1.5730. Ideally support at 1.5991 will now protect the downside for the next rally higher towards strong resistance at 1.6179, and a break above here will confirm the bottom for a major long-term rally higher to above 1.7274. However, if minor support at 1.5991 should be broken, the next support to look for will be at 1.5966.


Trading recommendation:


Stay long in EUR from 1.5858 and move your stop higher to 1.5875. If you are not long in EUR yet, then buy near 1.5991 with the same stop at 1.5875.

Today's Support and Resistance levels:


R3: 140.15


R2: 139.63


R1: 138.93


Current spot: 138.61


S1: 138.58


S2: 138.17


S3: 137.38


Technical summary:


It seems to be heading directly lower towards the red wave iii target at 137.01. The short-term minor resistance at 138.93 will ideally protect the upside for a break below support at 138.58 calling for a continuation lower towards 138.17 and 137.38 before the ideal target of 137.01.


In the long term we are still looking for a bigger correction of the 94.10 - 145.69 rally towards the ideal target near 126.00


Trading recommendation:


Stay short in EUR from 140.95 and move your stop lower to 139.05 If you are not short in EUR yet, then sell near 138.93 or upon a break below support at 138.58 with the same stop at 139.05.
