Technical analysis of USD/JPY for August 21, 2014 Trend News

Overview:

USD/JPY is expected to consolidate with a bullish bias after hitting a three-and-a-half month high at 103.85 on Wednesday. USD/JPY is underpinned by the positive dollar sentiment (ICE spot dollar index last 82.23 versus 81.87 early Wednesday) after more-hawkish-than-expected minutes of the Federal Open Market Committee's July meeting which showed that officials debated whether to raise interest rates sooner than expected. USD/JPY is also supported by the demand from Japan importers and higher U.S. Treasury yields (10-year at 2.428% versus 2.407% late Tuesday); yen-funded carry trades amid positive investor risk appetite (VIX fear gauge eased 3.52% to 11.78, S&P 500 closed up 0.25% at 1,986.51 overnight) as investors are certain the U.S. economy is healthy enough to withstand sooner-than-expected rate increases (market participants would be looking for further clues on Fed's monetary policy from Chairwoman Yellen's speech at the Jackson Hole forum for global central bankers on Friday). But USD/JPY gains are tempered by Japanese export sales. The daily chart is positive-biased as MACD and stochastics are bullish, five and 15-day moving averages are advancing.

Technical comment:
Tjhe daily chart is positive-biased as MACD and stochastics are bullish, five and 15-day moving averages are advancing.

Trading recommendations:
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 long as the price is keeping above its pivot point, a long position is recommended with the first target at 104.10 and the second target at 104.50. In an alternative scenario, if the price moves below its pivot points, short positions are recommended with the first target at 103. A break of this target would push the pair further downwards and one may expect the second target at 102.70. The pivot point is at 103.40.

Overview:

USD/CHF is expected to consolidate with a bullish bias after hitting a seven-month high at 0.9138 on Wednesday.

Technical analysis of NZD/USD for August 21, 2014 Trend News

Overview:

NZD/USD is expected to consolidate with a bearish bias after hitting a five-month low at 0.8362 on Wednesday. NZD/USD is undermined by the positive dollar sentiment, soft dairy prices and reduced expectations of further rate hikes from the Reserve Bank of New Zealand this year as well as the official stance against strong Kiwi exchange rate and Kiwi sales on buoyant AUD/NZD cross. But NZD/USD losses are tempered by the Kiwi demand on buoyant NZD/JPY cross amid the positive risk sentiment and NZD-USD interest differential. The daily chart is negative-biased as stochastics is in a bearish mode, MACD is turning bearish, five and 15-day moving averages are declining.

Trading recommendations:
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 0.8345. A break of this target will move the pair further downwards to 0.83. The pivot point stands at 0.8420. In case the price moves in the opposite direction and bounces back from the support level, then it will 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 0.8440 and the second target at 0.8465.

GBP/USD intraday technical levels and trading recommendations for August 21, 2014 Trend News

One month ago, the bears initiated a bearish trend off price levels around 1.7150-1.7190. Since then, the GBP/USD pair has been declining within the depicted bearish channel.

The price levels of 1.7050 - 1.7000 failed to provide enough support for the pair. Hence, the bears had a potential bearish target around 1.6970 and then 1.6920.

DAILY fixation below 1.6980-1.7000 applied intensive bearish pressure on the price zone of 1.6920-1.6900 leading to its breakdown as well.

Bullish recovery was evident around 1.6800 - 1.6820 manifested during the previous visit (Monday's daily candlestick)

However, this price zone failed to provide support during the 2nd visit that took place on Friday exposing the price level of 1.6765 for retesting.

Price levels around 1.6800-1.6820 offered a valid SELL entry. SL should be lowered to 1.6680 to secure our profits.

Bearish targets should have been reached initially around 1.6670, 1.6625 and 1.6580 where the lower limit of the ongoing bearish 4H channel is roughly located.

The next bearish destination is located around 1.6580-1.6550 in case the bears keep developing such bearish momentum. Price action action should be watched for a possible BUY entry.

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

Since the USD/CAD pair failed to show enough bullish momentum above 1.1200 during the last visit on March 20, the pair has been downtrending within the depicted bearish channel, which managed to push towards the price zone between 1.0910-1.0850 (50-61.8% Fibonacci levels on the daily chart) where a prominent congestion zone was established.

Bullish rejection was expressed at retesting the lower limit of the bearish channel around 1.0630 (It's the origin of the previous bullish impulse initiated in December 2013 as well). This enabled the bulls to achieve a bullish breakout off the depicted channel.

The USD/CAD pair has a strong resistance zone located between 1.0950 and 1.1020 (Fibonacci Levels 50% and 61.8% of the most recent bearish swing).

As we mentioned before, bearish rejection should be anticipated after such a long bullish rally that originated off 1.0650 and 1.0710.

Previously, around the price level of 1.0950, a Shooting-Star daily candlestick was expressed. This enhances the short-term bearish direction. Hence, a valid SELL position is anticipated at retesting which is taking place today. Initial bearish target is located around 1.0825.

On the other hand, persistence of daily fixation above 1.0950 (50% Fibonacci level ) enables the bulls to shoot towards 1.1020 and 1.1050 initially.

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

The price zone of 1.3800-1.3880 (dotted on the chart) provided considerable SUPPLY for the EUR/USD pair. This price zone managed to pause the bullish momentum leading to obvious breakdown of the depicted bullish trend line.

Bearish pressure which originated off 1.3650 has applied enough pressure at the price level of 1.3560 (corresponding to the previous prominent bottom). Since then, the pair has been down-trending within the depicted bearish channel.

Again, the EUR/USD pair shot towards 1.3330 (prominent bottom established on November 8, 2013) once more after the initial testing that followed the release of the initial readings of the Italian GDP last Thursday.

Bullish engulfing daily candlestick was expressed on Friday indicating upcoming bullish correction. However, bearish breakout of the consolidation range took place on Tuesday.

Bearish breakdown of the price level of 1.3430 allowed the pair to establish a consolidation zone down to 1.3330. Since then, the EUR/USD pair has been trapped inside this price range.

The short-term bearish trend remains intact as long as the bears keep defending the price zone of 1.3420-1.3450.

In case the bears keep applying significant bearish pressure, the EUR/USD pair has Intraday DEMAND zone located between 1.3235 - 1.3215 respectively (Fibonacci Expansion Levels).

On the other hand, bullish fixation above 1.3440 is essential to acquire a momentum strong enough to initiate a bullish corrective move towards 1.3530.

Intraday technical levels and trading recommendations on GBP/USD for August 21, 2014 Trend News

Breakdown of the DEMAND level around 1.6975 allowed a quick decline of the GBP/USD pair towards the price zone of 1.6800-1.6820.

When retesting the price zone of 1.6800-1.6820, considerable bullish recovery took place. This corrective movement was stopped below 1.6880 when the bears applied considerable bearish pressure.

Last week, the GBP/USD pair declined again towards 1.6770. This came after the fundamental data from the UK.

In case the bears keep applying bearish pressure, we expect the pair to keep fixating below the price level of 1.6760 (the previously broken top established in February 2014 ).

This exposed price levels around 1.6620 to be visited shortly after. The next DEMAND level to meet the pair is located around 1.6547 where a previous bottom was established in April.

On the other hand, failure of the bears to fixate below 1.6600 (the lower limit of the ongoing bearish channel) will probably allow the bulls to initiate a bullish corrective movement towards 1.6780 and 1.6820.

The price zone of 1.6830 - 1.6800 remains a significant zone as it corresponds to the previous consolidation zone established in June.

However, 4H fixation below this zone exposed the price levels around 1.6600-1.6560 where the lower limit of the current bearish channel is located.

Note that the GBP/USD pair has been down-trending for almost 20 days without significant correction. However, earlier today, bullish recovery off price level of 1.6560 was manifested on the chart.

Thus, any bullish fixation above 1.6680-1.6700 hinders the current steep trend allowing a deeper bullish correction to occur.

EUR/NZD analysis for August 21, 2014 Trend News

Overview:

Since our last analysis, EUR/NZD has been trading sideways. We are still waiting for larger price action and larger activity. Price has been successfully rejected again from our Fibonacci retracement 61.8% at the price of 1.5900, which is a sign that buying looks very risky. According to the 4H time frame, I have placed Fibonacci expansion levels to find potential resistance and I got Fibonacci expansion 161.8% at the price of 1.5870 (successfully tested). Watch for potential selling opportunities after retracement. So, if the price breaks the level of 1.5710 in a higher volume, we may see potential testing the level of 1.5595.

Resistance levels:

R1: 1.5874

R2: 1.5896

R3: 1.5932

Support levels:

S1: 1.5801

S2: 1.5779

S3: 1.5742

Trading recommendations: Be careful when buying the EUR/NZD pair and watch for selling opportunities after retracement.

Technical summary:

We are still looking for signs, that wave b of 2 is over and wave c lower towards 1.5716 has taken over to end wave 2. In the short term, we need a break below minor support at 1.5793 to indicate, that wave b is over and wave c lower is developing for a decline towards 1.5716. Only an unexpected break above 1.5898 will indicate, that wave 2 ended early and wave 3 already under way higher towards 1.6205.

Trading receommendation:

We are looking for EUR-buying opportunities at 1.5715 or upon a break above 1.5898.

Gold analysis for August 21, 2014 Trend News

Overview:

Since our last analysis, gold has been trading downwards. Just like we expected, the price tested the level of 1,273.58 in a very high volume. We got successful rejection from our Fibonacci retracement 61.8%, which caused price to start downward movement. Our Fibonacci expansion 61.8% at the price of 1,284.00 is broken. So, we may see potential testing the level of 1,260.00 (Fibonacci expansion 100%). We can observe strong selling pressure according to the 4H timeframe, which is a sign that buying looks very risky. Watch for potential selling opportunities afer retracement.

Daily pivot Fibonacci points:

Today's support and resistance levels:

R3: 138.45

R2: 138.01

R1: 137.77

Current spot: 137.69

S1: 137.58

S2: 137.45

S3: 137.37

Technical summary:

The break above 137.70 has left us with two opposite sceanrios. The first scenario is, that an expanded ending diagonal is unfolding (we have overlapping wave four and wave one. The only pattern that allows overlaps is the ending diagonal). If an expanding ending diagonal is unfolding, the we should see resistance at 138.01 to protect the upside for a decline below support at 136.89 confirming one final decline lower to 134.34 to end the correction from 145.69. The second scenario tells us, that the correction from 145.69 ended at 135.73 and that a new impulsive rally could be unfolding. Looking at the structure of the rally from 135.73, we prefer the expanded ending diagonal scenario for one final decline towards 134.34, where wave C will be equal in length to wave A.

Trading recommendation:

Our stop at 137.75 has been hit for a small loss. We will stay neutral for now and let the market show us its real hand.

Technical analysis of AUD/USD for August 21, 2014 Trend News

Trading recommendations :

• The resistance of AUD/USD pair has set at the price of 0.9300 and the support, at the 0.9238 price. So, according to the previous events, the AUD/USD pair is going to move between the resistance and the support. As a rule, history will probably repeat itself at this level again. Therefore, we expect a range about 62 pips on August 21, 2014. Accordingly, if the trend fails to close below the level of 0.9238, then it will be a good opportunity to buy above 0.9240 with the first target at 0.9280, then it will continue straight towards 0.9300. Notwithstanding, the stop loss should always be taken in account because it should never exceed your maximum exposure amounts. Consequently, the best location to set your stop loss should be placed below the level of 0.9210.

Notes :

• The Risk of 62 pips must make a profit of 93 pips.


• The value of 50% Fibonacci retracement levels is: 0.9371. The strong resistance this week.


• The volatility: 122.45. As a rule, the market is highly volatile if the previous day had a huge volatility.


• The Support will set at the level of 0.9238. And the double bottom will set at the price of 0.9243.


• The resistances will set at the levels of 0.9300 and 0.9340.

Overview :

• The USD/CAD pair rebounded at the level of 1.0950, and showed signs of strength after it. Additionally, the resistance was broken and turned to support at the same area (1.0942). Equally important, the price set above the support since last week. Consequently, the pair has already formed the strong support at 1.0950. It should also be noted that the double bottom is going to set around this area. Furthermore, the price has still been trapped between 1.0950 and the double top (1.0985) in H4 chart. Therefore, the USD/CAD pair started showing the signs of the bullish market. So, the market indicates the bullish opportunity at the level of 1.0950 with the first target of 1.0985 (double top), and continues towards the level of 1.1030 in order to test the weekly resistance 1. On the other hand, the stop loss should always be taken into account. Therefore, it will wise to set your stop loss at the 1.0925 price.

EUR/USD: Because of the stamina in the Greenback, this trading instrument has no change of going upwards. In fact, any rally that is seen in the market is an opportunity to open another short trade, selling at a slightly higher price.

USD/CHF: We are still talking about the stamina in the Greenback: when the EUR/USD pair goes down, USD/CHF goes up. Therefore, it is no surprise that the USD/CHF pair is trading above the support level at 0.9100. The next target is the resistance level at 0.9150.

GBP/USD: There is still a Bearish Confirmation Pattern on the Cable. So, long trades are not sensible yet. A trend is not over until it is actually over. It is possible that the price would test the accumulation territory at 1.6650.

USD/JPY: The strength in the USD is clearly visible. For example, the USD/CHF and the USD/JPY have been racing northwards, and the trend is likely to continue. Moreover, more fundamental figures are expected today and they would have impact on the markets. This pair has gone upwards by up to 160 pips this week. The supply level at 104.00 would soon be tested after the current shallow pullback finishes its course. That supply level could even be breached to the upside.

EUR/JPY: On the whole, the Euro remains weak. However, as a result of more weakness in the Yen (the Yen is weaker than the Euro), this cross has broken out to the upside. The movement above the demand zone at 137.50 means the trend is now completely bullish.

#USDX Technical analysis for August 21, 2014 Trend News

The Dollar index remains in up trend. However the pull back that is currently unfolding may be a part of wave 4 before a new high for wave 5. Price is still inside the upward sloping channel. Price is above the Ichimoku cloud support and bulls continue to have the upper hand.

A short-term reversal in the 4 hour chart may imply a pull back towards 82.15 is quite possible to test the lower channel boundaries. The trend remains bullish. Short-term support is at 82.15 and 82.05. Resistance at 82.35 and 82.50. I believe a pull back now is just another buying opportunity.

In the daily chart, I show in a more clear way the bigger picture. We are at the final stages of the rise from 79.75 and bulls should keep their stops tight. The trend remains up. My target is at 82.60 as long as price is above 81.70. Breaking below 81.70 will confirm that the upward move is complete.

Gold Wave analysis for August 21, 2014 Trend News

Gold price has broken our support level at $1,290-95 and has pushed below $1,280 as many stops were triggered. Strong support is found at $1,270 and this will be crucial for bulls. The bullish bias is still quite possible but technically the trend remains bearish. Bulls need to retake $1,307 in order to regain the upper hand. Below is the 4 hour chart that depicts my new elliott wave view in Gold.

Price made a new lower low. This has triggered many stops and many long positions have closed. However, price is still trading around the 61.8% retracement. By this alternative new wave count, we could still see prices reverse upwards towards $1,350. Technically, the trend remains bearish as price is making lower lows and lower highs and is below the Ichimoku cloud. We need to see 5 waves up of a minute degree in order to talk about a possible upward reversal.

Gold price has broken below the Ichimoku cloud in the daily chart as shown above. Important trend line support is found at $1,270. This is the last chance for bulls. I give more possibilities of an upward reversal even if Gold price made a new low below $1,280. However, a buy signal will be given only if a reversal is confirmed. This buy signal will be given if price breaks above $1,305 on a daily closing basis. Breaking below the red trend line will open the way for a push lower towards $1,240.

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

General overview for 21/08/2014 09:50 CET

Despite hitting the target zone, the market is not going down in the impulsive manner. So, the outlook has been a little changed to put the emphasis on more complex wave 2 of 3 progression in shape of the WXY complex corrective structure. A very important level that will act as an invalidation line is the level of 138.02. Any violation of this levels means the bearish impulsive scenario is invalidated and higher prices will be seen soon. Otherwise, the outlook is still bearish as long as this level holds.

Support/Resistance:

138.02 - Swing High| Invalidation Level|

137.70 - WR1

137.45 - Intraday Support

137.04 - Weekly Pivot

Trading recommendations:

Please refrain from trading until a clear pattern occurs.

Technical analysis of USD/CAD for August 21, 2014 Trend News

General overview for 21/08/2014 09:20 CET

The five wave impulsive development looks completed at the current levels and it has been labeled as red wave 5. The next cycle should be a corrective downside cycle. Please, remember that the wave -v- might get extended a little bit more if the level of 1.0930 is not broken first. The alternative labeling indicates an even more extended upward wave progression as long as the level of 1.0858 is not clearly violated. Please, notice that the bearish divergence on the momentum oscillator supports the bearish case, but any breakout higher above the level of 1.0985 is bullish and next resistance is at the level of 1.1020.

Support/Resistance:

1.0985 - Swing High | Intraday Resistance|

1.0960 - Intraday Support

1.0945 - WR1

1.0930 - 1.0935 - Supply Breakthrough Zone

1.0901 - Weekly Pivot

Trading recommendations:

The buy orders from the beginning of the week should be closed now as the target level has been hit. Only a clear breakout above the recent swing high should be bought with target at the level of 1.1020.

Intraday trading recommendations on EUR/JPY for August 21, 2014 Trend News

The pair touches exactly the 50DSma in early Asian session. It is testing its fortune for about 2 and half months. The descending trend line is above this; 7-month broken descending triangle support will act as a major hurdle in the near/short term. Until the pair closes above 138.60, selling on an up move will mint money.

Support 137.10

Resistance 137.75

The prices are closed above the hourly key moving averages. The price gave an upside 3-week triangle. On the upside, if the pair manages to trade above 137.70, it can fly up to 138 and 138.40. Safe trades can buy only above the 137.75 levels. On the down side, it found support at the 137.45, 137.25, 137.20, and 137.10 levels. The intra week support existed at the 136.75-136.80 levels.

Safe buy above 137.75.

Intraday trading recommendations on GOLD for August 21, 2014 Trend News

The tone of US economy made the US dollar stronger. The Federal minutes pressure the gold to give a bearish breakout from the 3-month support trend line. As we recommended in the article from August 18th, until the metal breaks the open high strategy at $1,303.50, it has made a low at $1,287.60. On the down side, it has strong support at $1,284 (200DSma) below this. $1,280 is the trend change level towards $1,275, $1,270 $1,265, and $1,261 levels. The Quantitative easing will end this October and the Federal Reserve is going to raise the interest rates quite soon. This provides a pessimism towards gold. The heavenly bids didn't find support the gold at the lower levels too.

A daily close below $1,284, open gates for $1,270 and $1,265. - Pending

A weekly close below $1,292, the short-term turns down. - Pending

In today's session, the metal opened higher again at the $1,291.30 levels. Until the metal breaches $1,291.50, sellers will mint the money.

For an hourly trading perspective, the metal prices are closed below and trading below the 12ema. Until the prices close below the $1,294, the hourly trading will give money only for sellers.

Resistance $1,294, $1,297, and $1,3.

Sell until it trades below $1,294.
