GBP/USD intraday technical levels and trading recommendations for October 3, 2014 Market Analysis Review

gbpdail.jpggbp4.jpg


Overview:


On July 15, extensive bearish impulse was initiated. Since then, the GBP/USD pair has been downtrending below the depicted downtrend line.


Two bearish impulses were previously initiated around 1.7180 and 1.6630 corresponding to the downtrend line.


The price level of 1.6140 constituted a prominent weekly support to meet the pair. Bullish rejection was witnessed in the previous visit. This led to bullish weekly closure ( above the weekly support level around 1.6250 ).


Retracement towards the price zone of 1.6350-1.6400 took place as expected where a new bearish impulse was applied as expected in previous articles.


This price zone corresponds to the upper limit of the depicted channels as well as Fibonacci level of the recent bearish impulse between 1.7180 and 1.6060.


The GBP/USD pair remains targeting at 1.6050 ( the recent weekly low ) then 1.6000 ( psychological support level ) as long as the market is trading below 1.6240 on a daily basis.


Trading recommendations:


Based on the previous data, the market offered a valid SELL opportunity around 1.6460 during last week's consolidations.


This short position remains valid as long as the bears keep defending price zone of 1.6250-1.6320 ( 23.6% Fibonacci level and previous broken bottom ). Hence, Stop Loss should be lowered to 1.6150 and let the remaining portion of the position run with the market.


Bearish targets are located around 1.6160, 1.6080 ( both were reached ) then 1.5890 ( significant weekly level ).

Elliott wave analysis of EUR/NZD for October 3 - 2014 Market Analysis Review

2014-10-03-EURNZD-8H.png


Today's support and resistance levels:


R3: 1.6152


R2: 1.6120


R1: 1.6082


Current spot: 1.6059


S1: 1.6040


S2: 1.6012


S3: 1.5978


Technical summary:


We have seen a perfect test of the broken base-channel resistance-line at 1.5978 and this former resistance now support has protected the downside perfectly. We will now be looking for a break above 1.6120 as the first strong indication, that the correction from 1.6446 is over, but a break above 1.6242 is needed to confirm the bottom and the next rally higher towards 1.6446 on the way towards 1.6836. The risk is a break below 1.5978, that would call for a decline to the support-line near 1.5890 before higher.


Trading recommendation:

Technical analysis of USD/CHF for October 3, 2014 Market Analysis Review

usdchfh1.png

Overview :



  • The price of USD/CHF pair is still located between levels of 0.9535 and 0.9595, i.e. above the strong support level 0.9492 (61.6% of Fibonacci retracement levels in H4 chart). These levels correspond to 100% and 78.6%% of Fibonacci retracement levels in the H4 chart. The pair has already formed strong resistance at this level of 0.9595 and is currently approaching it for further testing. Therefore, the swissie is expected to go downwards following the non-corrective structure and indicating the bearish opportunity below the 0.9595 level (the double top). Sell-deals are recommended below 0.9595 with the first target seen at the 0.9545 level. Thus downtrend is likely to continue the bearish movement towards the 0.9500 level. Moreover, it is crucial that the price has probably formed a strong support at 0.9492 (61.8% of Fibonacci retracement levels in H4 chart). The saturation is like to take place around 0.9490. Therefore it is possible that the market will start showing the signs of a bullish behaviour from today until next week. In the other word, buy-deals are recommended above 0.9400 with the first target seen at the 0.9550 level and further at the 0.9600 level.

Technical analysis of EUR/USD for October 3, 2014 Market Analysis Review

eurusdh4.1.png

Overview :



  • The EUR/USD pair is trading below its pivot point which sets at the level of 1.2690. It is likely to trade in a lower range as far as it remains below its pivot point. Also, it might be noted that the ratio of 61.8% represents the same key level in H1 chart. Moreover, H1 chart is negative biased as RSI is turning bearish. Short position is recommended from the level of 1.2690 with the first target at 1.2615 in mind. A break of this target will move the pair further downwards towards 1.2568 in order to test the double bottom. Furthermore, the double bottom will act as strong support because it is the last bearish wave since the 30th of September 2014. In case the price moves in the contrary direction, it bounces back from the support level, and then moves above its first support around the 1.2620 level, it is most favourably expected to move further to the upside. In that scenario, a long position is recommended from the double bottom with the first target at 1.2620 and the second target at 1.2665.

#USDX Technical analysis for October 3, 2014 Market Analysis Review

The Dollar index continues to hold the important support at 85.50 and remains in a fully bullish trend. The trend will reverse to bearish if the index breaks below 85.50. The next upside target is at 87-89.


usdx.jpg

In the short term, the trend is bullish and support is found at 85.70. Price is above the ichimoku cloud and is trending higher making higher highs and higher lows after confirming support at 85.50. This support level has been tested and was not broken. This is a sign of Dollar strength.


usdxd.jpg

Green line = price channel


The Dollar index remains inside the upward sloping channel. Ichimoku cloud indicators remain fully bullish. Support at 85.50 was held and we could see an upward break out soon towards 87. Breaking below 85 could signal a trend change on a daily basis. I remain bullish expecting this up trend to continue higher. Important for bulls to raise their stops as a possible reversal will be very sharp and could push the index towards 82-83.

Gold Wave analysis for October 3, 2014 Market Analysis Review

Gold price most probably completed wave 4 yesterday and should start pushing below $1,204 lows towards $1,180 which is the major low and support. Our view remains longer-term bearish towards $1,000 as long as price is below $1,280.


goldh4.jpg

Blue line = support


Green line = price channel


Gold price remains in a bearish trend. Yesterday, I mentioned that price got rejected at the upper channel boundaries and at the Ichimoku cloud resistance. This confirms that trend is bearish and that there are more chances of breaking below $1,200 now than pushing above $1,225. Resistance at $1,225 is important and a break above it will change the short-term trend to bullish. Support at $1,204 is expected to be broken and Gold price to move towards $1,180.


goldd.jpg

In the chart above, I post my Ellliott wave count and that is why I expect Gold to push towards $1,000 as the final wave 5. The sideways corective move since May 2013 has broken downwards from $1,270 and has given us a strong sell signal targeting $1,000.

The cable was rejected again from 20Dsma in yesterday's session. The pair opened with a weak note below the previous close. Traders are focused on today's US nonfarm payroll and UK's services PMI. The cable is trading near the lower levels. The support level existed at 1.61 and between 1.6052-1.6030. If a daily close is below 1.60, again bears will take the cable into their control with a downside target at 1.59 and 1.554 which are November 2011 lows.


Closing below 1.60, the short-term trend again turns down. - pending

Technical analysis of EUR/JPY for October 3, 2014 Market Analysis Review

General overview for 03/10/2014 08:40 CET

The bounce from the wave B low is currently in three waves but as long as the level of 137.40 is not violated this structure can still develop into full five wave impassive cycle. That would mean, the low for wave B has been established and now market has started another upward cycle in wave C. To accomplish that, the first intraday resistance at the level of 137.93 must be broken and market must impulsively move higher into the grey rectangle zone, marked on chart as demand breakthrough zone.


Support/Resistance:

136.86 - Swing Low

136.96 - 78%Fibo

137.12 - WS2

137.63 - Intraday Support

137.73 - WS1

137.93 - Intraday Resistance

138.78 - Intraday Resistance

138.96 - Weekly Pivot

138.96 - 139.14 - Demand Breakthrough Zone


Trading recommendations:

Day traders should consider opening buy orders from current price levels with SL below the level of 137.39 and TP at the level of 138.78.

Technical analysis of EUR/JPY for October 03, 2014 Market Analysis Review


Technical outlook and chart setups:


The EUR/JPY pair seems to be on its way towards new highs at 143.00 levels at least. As seen here, the pair is bouncing off the back side of resistance line, which is acting as support now. Furthermore, the fibonacci 0.618/0.786 support is also passing through 137.00 levels and a bullish morning star reversal signal is being produced at the moment. All these factors point towards a bullish bounce from the current levels and hence recommendations are to remain long from positions taken yesterday. Immediate support is seen at 135.80 and lower while resistance is seen at 139.00 levels, followed by 141.30 and higher up respectively.


Trading recommendations:


Remain long, stop at 135.80, target 143.30 at least.


Good luck!

Technical analysis of Silver for October 03, 2014 Market Analysis Review


Technical outlook and chart setups:


Silver made intraday low at $16.95 levels yesterday after reversing from the trend line resistance earlier, as it is shown here. A push higher from current levels could break the inner trend line resistance and also $18.00 levels. On the flip side, a push lower from here towards the trend could see prices drifting towards the $16.00 levels. Immediate resistance is seen at the $17.80 levels, followed by $18.00, $18.60 and higher while support is seen at $16.80 and lower respectively. It is recommended to remain flat for now, and look to trade on a resistance break. The metal could see a bottom sooner from current levels; maximum downside being $16.00 levels.


Trading recommendations:


Remain flat for now.


Good luck!

Technical analysis of Gold for October 03, 2014 Market Analysis Review


Technical outlook and chart setups:


Gold remains virtually unchanged from what was discussed yesterday. The metal still remains in a tight trading range that could see a break out pretty soon. Support of the range is around $1,200.00/05.00 levels while resistance is seen at $1,230.00/40.00 for now.

But a follow through is still required to be seen, that could break the trading range on the higher side. The metal is trading around $1,212.00/13.00 at the moment and it is recommended to trade on a breakout.


Trading recommendations:


Remain flat for now. Looking for a bullish breakout to get in.

Daily analysis of major pairs for October 3, 2014 Market Analysis Review

EUR/USD: This pair is currently trading above the support line at 1.2600 – though still in a bearish trend. For the bearish trend to continue, the price needs to cross the support line to the downside again, going towards another support line at 1.2550. On the other hand, any movement above the resistance line at 1.2750 could mean the end of the bearish outlook.


1.png

USD/CHF: It could be pointed out that the USD/CHF pair has nowhere to go except in opposition to what the EUR/USD pair is doing. The negative correlation between the two pairs is so strong: the former would rise as the latter falls (and vice versa). The price has failed to test the resistance level at 0.9600, and it is currently retracing downwards. A movement below the support level at 0.9450 could mean the end of the bullish journey.


2.png

GBP/USD: The Cables continues to be weak, and the price could potentially go further south. The accumulation territory at 1.6100 is an easy target for bears – it could even be breached to the downside.


3.png

USD/JPY: The USD/JPY pair has become weak as a result of the strength in the yen. This is a new ‘sell’ signal in the market, for it is no longer logical to seek long trades here. The price has crossed the EMA 56 to the upside and the RSI period 14 has crossed the level 50 to the downside. There is a Bearish Confirmation Pattern in the chart, and the price could reach the demand level at 107.50.


4.png

EUR/JPY: This market is now trading below the supply zone at 137.50, and it may test the demand zone at 137.00 again. The Bearish Confirmation Pattern on the EUR/JPY cross is getting significant. One reason for this is that the yen is now getting stronger.

Daily analysis of USDX for October 03, 2014 Market Analysis Review

The USDX performed a pullback near to the 86.20 level so that corrective movements in this instrument could be extended to the support level of 85.18. A consolidation below this level could lead the USDX to fall to the support level of 84.29, which would help the USDX to fall to the support level of 82.51 in the medium term. Remember that the USDX formed a fractal at the level of 86.20.


USDXDaily.png

Daily chart's resistance levels: 86.20 – 87.35


Daily chart's support levels: 85.18 – 84.29


In the H1 chart, the USDX achieved consolidation below the 85.73 level, finding support at the level of 85.49. The resistance level of 87.16 is quite strong, so USDX is trying to make a breakout in the support level of 85.29 to fall to the level of 85.27 which is below the 200 SMA. MACD indicator is entering neutral territory, which would be a sign that the USDX would be entering a phase of consolidation.


USDXH1.png

H1 chart's resistance levels: 85.95 – 86.17


H1 chart's support levels: 85.73 – 85.49


Trading recommendations for today: Based on the H1 chart, place buy (long) orders only if the USD Index breaks with a bullish candlestick; the resistance level is at 85.73 take profit is at 85.95, and stop loss is at 85.51.

Daily analysis of GBP/USD for October 03, 2014 Market Analysis Review

The GBP/USD pair continues to weaken below the 200-day moving average in the daily chart, so this pair is trying to make a breakout at the support level of 1.6146. The next target road bearish for this pair is the 1.6046 level. Although we must remember that the support level of 1.6046 is very strong, which may appear in GBP/USD. For now, this pair is solid in the bearish bias. In MACD indicator is entering the overbought area.

Daily chart's resistance levels: 1.6235 - 1.6326


Daily chart's support levels: 1.6146 - 1.6046


On the H1 chart we can see that this pair had a strong fall below the resistance level of 1.6170, and now, the GBP/USD is finding strong support at the 1.6117 level. This pair would make a breakout at that level, though the GBP/USD pair may rise again to the resistance level of 1.6117. However, it is advisable to wait for the formation of a lower low pattern to continue placing sell orders.


GBPUSDH1.png


H1 chart's resistance levels: 1.6170 – 1.6216


H1 chart's support levels: 1.6117 – 1.6075
