Forecast and trading recommendations on USD/JPY for January 27, 2015 Market Analysis Review

The pair has been consolidating between 118.85 and 117.10. The 115.50 levels are helping the pair to push towards northward. The weekly support exists at 115.00 and 20Wsma. In case if the pair closes below 115.00, we can confirm the broadening top for the near and medium term. The rate hike bets favors on the US dollar. The policy makers have repeatedly announced their plan to raise interest rates during 2015.The pair closed and trading below 50Dsma and 118.70. In case the pair closes above 118.85, it can challenge 119.90 and 120.50. The weakness persists below 118.00. We recommend selling below 118.00 with the targets at 117.60 and 117.25. On a positional basis, until the pair holds at 117.00 and trades above 118.85, it can give another stellar show towards 120.00+. In case if the pair breaks below 117.00, it can extend its fall up to 115.00 and panic will be triggered below the 115.00 levels.

Technical Analysis of EUR/USD for January 27, 2015 Market Analysis Review

After the Syriza party victory in Greece, the USD slips against the other major currencies. The euro managed to close in green after a 2-day strong fall. The Syriza leader has vowed to renegotiate the bailouts, which are worth 240bn euros. The euro fell to an 11-year low against the USD before the voting results. However, the election results give hopes that a compromise over Greece's bailout terms might be found. In yesterday's economic data, the Ifo business climate index also supported the euro. The index rose to 106.7 points in January from 105.5 points last month, marking its third successive increase


If we look from the technical view, the pair has weekly resistance at 1.1460 and 1.1600. The pair has intraday resistance at 1.1275 and 1.1300. On the h4 chart, the prices are facing strong resistance at 12ema levels. At yesterday's session, we recommended selling at 1.1200 with the targets at 1.1100, 1.1050, 1.1000, and 1.0700. But the pair took a turn from 1.1098 and made a high at 1.1295. In case if the pair manages to trade above 1.1300, the next resistance will exist at 1.1360 and 1.1450. The safe buying will trigger above 1.1300. The intraday support is set at 1.1230 and 1.1200. We recommend fresh selling below 1.1200. Use every rise to sell which favors the current trend.

Technical analysis and trading recommendation on Gold for January 27, 2015 Market Analysis Review

After Greece's election results, the metal lost almost 1% at yesterday's afternoon London session of a 5-month high. Traders have shifted their eyes on tomorrow's Federal Reserve meeting. This year, the yellow metal has jumped 10% supported by the European factors like ECB's QE and Greek elections. After the election results, the yellow metal again lost its safe-heaven tag. Ahead of the FOMC meeting, the optimistic USD put pressure on the yellow metal towards the down side. This week's US economic events are affecting the metal, like FOMC meeting, interest rate decision, and GDP data. As I recommended in my previous report, buying above $1,300.00 has not been triggered. We recommended selling below $1,283.00 with the target at $1,272.00. Today, at Asia's session the metal made a low at $1,272.00. In case if the metal breaks below $1,271.80 being January 19th low, it can extend its fall towards $1,269.00, $1,266.50, $1,262.50, and $1,255.00. In case a weekly close is below $1,266.00, bears will tighten their grip towards $1,255.00, $1,238.00, and $1,214.00. On the bullish front, we can expect strong upward momentum only above $1,307.00 towards $1,340.00. On the h4-chart, the metal fell below an hourly moving average and is trading below it. Until the prices trade and close below $1,297.50 and $1,300.00, bears will have an upper hand. But fresh selling will be triggered only below $1,271.00. The hourly resistance exists at $1,280.00, above this the $1,283.00 and $1,287.00 levels will act as strong resistance levels. For risky traders, buying will be triggered only above $1,287.00 levels.


NOTE:


Fresh selling only below $1,271.00.

Daily analysis of major pairs for January 27, 2015 Market Analysis Review

EUR/USD: After testing the support line at 1.1100, the EUR/USD pair bounced upwards by over 190 pips. The upward bounce pales into insignificance when compared to the overall bearish bias, which is now very strong. In other words, the current upward bounce is better seen as a clean opportunity to sell short as the price rallies in the context of a downtrend.


1.png

USD/CHF: The outlook for the USD/CHF pair remains unchanged. The bias on this currently abnormal market is bearish but it is expected that the bullish correction would continue gradually in spite of occasional large bearish corrections. However, the upwards movement would be slow and gradual.


2.png

GBP/USD: This currency trading instrument challenged the accumulation territory at 1.5000, but the territory was successfully defended. The price bounced upwards after this, closing above the accumulation territory at 1.5050. However, the general outlook for the market is bearish, and it is expected that the price would come down very soon. The accumulation territory at 1.5000 would be challenged again.


3.png

USD/JPY: The movement on this pair is not as strong as the movement on the EUR/JPY pair. However, the indication currently shows that short trades are not advisable right now, for further weakness in the Yen could cause the price to reach the supply level at 119.00.


4.png

EUR/JPY: Just like the EUR/USD pair, this cross is also trying to rally in the context of the downtrend. The bearish outlook may be aided by continuous weakness in the Euro, but there is a possibility of the Yen becoming very weak; thus enabling a serious rally in the market.

Forecast and trading recommendations on GBP/USD for January 27, 2015 Market Analysis Review

The USD slips against the other major currencies. After Greece's election results, the USD took a back seat. Today, the focus has shifted to British preliminary GDP. On the USD side, consumer confidence, durable goods, and core durable orders are the key data ahead. The cable managed to close in green, but still trading at a 18-month low. The rate hike bets favors on the US dollar. The policy makers have repeatedly announced their plan to raise interest rates during 2015. But the bets on the rate hike from the BOE do not favor the Pound. This divergence can provide an optimistic view on the USD. Today, the cable opened and is trading in green. The prices are facing strong resistance at 34hrsma and the 61.8 fib level 1.5115 on the h4 chart. In case if the cable manages to breach above 1.5115, it can challenge towards 80.0 fib level at 1.5160 and the descending trend line on the h4 chart. The intraday supports are set at 1.5070, 1.5050, and 1.5030. On the h1-chart, the prices are consolidating between 1.5100 and 1.5070. The prices gave an upside breakout from a small trading range with higher lows and higher highs. In case, a h4 candle closes above 1.5115, we can expect some pullback rally covering towards 1.5160. The chances are remote. On the down side, the weakness persists below 1.5000 and the panic will be triggered below 1.4950 levels.

Technical analysis of USD/JPY for January 26, 2015 Market Analysis Review

USDJPYM30.png

Fundamental overview:
USD/JPY is expected to trade in a higher range. It is undermined by flows to the haven JPY and unwinding of JPY-funded carry trades amid increased risk aversion as exit polls showed the Greek party Syriza leading in national elections on Sunday. The latter heightened fears that Greece will eventually exit the eurozone. The pair is also weakened by Wall Street losses Friday (VIX fear gauge rose 1.59% to 16.66, S&P 500 closed 0.55% lower at 2,051.82) due to the the Greek fears, drop in Chicago Fed National Activity Index to -0.05 in December from +0.92 in November, weaker than expected 2.4% MoM increase in the U.S. December existing home sales to 5.05 million (versus forecast +3.0% to 5.08 million), lower Markit flash U.S. January manufacturing PMI of 53.7 versus forecast 54.0 and December's 53.9. USD/JPY is also weighed by the lower U.S. Treasury yields (10-year at 1.818% versus 1.896% late Thursday) and Japan's exports. But USD/JPY losses are tempered by the broadly firmer USD undertone (ICE spot dollar index hit nine-year high 95.481 Friday, last at 95.35 versus 94.21 early Friday), demand from the Japanese importers and ultra-loose Bank of Japan's monetary policy.


Technical comment:
The daily chart is mixed as the MACD is bearish, but stochastics is neutral.


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 118.60 and the second target at 119. In an alternative scenario, if the price moves below its pivot points, short posisitions are recommended with the first target at 117.20. A break of this target would push the pair further downwards and one may expect the second target at 116.80. The pivot point is at 117.50.

Technical analysis of USD/CHF for January 26, 2015 Market Analysis Review

USDCHFM30.png

Fundamental overview:
USD/CHF is expected to trade in a higher range. It is underpinned by the broadly firmer USD undertone (ICE spot dollar index hit nine-year high 95.481 Friday, last at 95.35 versus 94.21 early Friday). The pair is also supported by the franc sales on soft CHF/JPY cross, and negative Swiss interest rates, and the threat of SNB CHF-selling intervention.


Technical comment:
The daily chart is mixed as the MACD is in bearish mode, but stochastics is neutral.


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 0.9020 and the second target at 0.9050. In an alternative scenario, if the price moves below its pivot points, short positions are recommended with the first target at 0.8650. A break of this target would push the pair further downwards and one may expect the second target at 0.8575. The pivot point is at 0.8750.

Technical analysis of NZD/USD for January 26, 2015 Market Analysis Review

NZDUSDM30.png

Fundamental overview:
NZD/USD is expected to consolidate with bearish bias. It is undermined by the expectations that the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will leave rates on hold for longer. the pair is also weakened by broadly firmer USD undertone, kiwi sales on soft NZD/JPY cross amid increased investor risk aversion and weak commodity prices. NZD/USD losses are tempered by the kiwi demand on soft AUD/NZD cross and NZD-USD interest differential.


Technical comment:

The daily chart is negative-biased as the MACD and stochastics are bearish, although the latter is at oversold levels. 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 the pivot point. Short positions are recommended with the first target at 0.74. A break of this target will move the pair further downward to 0.7325. The pivot point stands at 0.75. In case the price moves in the opposite direction and bounces back from the support level, it will move above its pivot point. It is likely to move further to the upside. According to that scenario, a long position is recommended with the first target at 0.7580 and the second target at 0.7625.

Technical analysis of GBP/JPY for January 26, 2015 Market Analysis Review

GBPJPYM30.png

Fundamental overview:
GBP/JPY is expected to consolidate with bearish bias.It is undermined by the negative euro sentiment due to the large-scale ECB quantitative easing measures and fears over eventual Greece exit from the eurozone because the anti-austerity Syriza party leads in national elections on Sunday. The pair is also weakened by flows to the haven yen amid increased investor risk aversion and the Japanese exports. But GBP/JPY losses are tempered by the demand from Japan's importers.


Technical comment:
The daily chart is negative-biased as the MACD is bearish, stochastics stays suppressed at oversold levels, 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 the pivot point. Short positions are recommended with the first target at 176.45. A break of this target will move the pair further downward to 175.75. The pivot point stands at 178.85. In case the price moves in the opposite direction and bounces back from the support level, it will move above its pivot point. It is likely to move further to the upside.

GBP/USD intraday technical levels and trading recommendations for January 26, 2015 Market Analysis Review

gbppppd.pnggbpusdh4.png

Overview:


On December 17, the market failed to express a bullish breakout above the upper limit of the daily bearish channel. Shortly after, an extensive bearish pressure was applied against the price levels of 1.5540-1.5560 on December 23.


Daily closure below the recent bottoms established around 1.5540-1.5560 rendered the previous consolidation range as a bearish flag pattern with projection target at 1.5300.


The market has already pushed further below this level reaching down to 1.5030 where the lower limit of the channel provided significant support for the pair.


Bullish recovery was manifested on the H4 chart off the price level of 1.5030. However, since the pair hit the recent high around 1.5260, successive bearish pressure has been applied resulting in the flag pattern on the H4 chart.


As anticipated, within such a strong bearish trend the market failed to fixate above 1.5200 (the upper limit of the flag pattern) followed by H4 breakdown below 1.5150 and 1.5100. If so, further bearish tendency on the market should be anticipated towards 1.4930-1.4900 initially.


The key-support level for today's movement is located at 1.4970 (Thursday's low). Fixation above it probably enhances bullish side of the market towards 1.5150, 1.5260.


Trading recommendations:


The price zone of 1.5280-1.5350 (50% - 61.8% Fibonacci Levels and the upper limit of the daily channel) should be watched for new SELL entries with SL as daily closure above 1.5400.


Stop Loss for the short position taken after H4 closure below 1.5080 should be lowered to 1.5050 to offside some of the risks. Final target can be set at 1.4950.

EUR/AUD intraday technical levels and trading recommendations for January 26, 2015 Market Analysis Review

euraudwee.png1422279111_eurauddaily.png

The depicted charts of the EUR/AUD pair illustrate a prominent downtrend on both the daily and weekly charts.


The WEEKLY chart shows a long-term Head and Shoulders reversal pattern being established with neckline roughly located around 1.4050.


The daily chart shows:


- The recently broken SUPPORT level at 1.4230 where the previous multiple prominent bottoms were established back in November 2014. This is the nearest RESISTANCE level which comes to meet the pair.


- The recent RESISTANCE level around 1.4400 where a newly established congestion zone was breached last week.


On the other hand, a bearish FLAG pattern is being established above 1.4050 (H&S pattern's neckline). Confirmation requires DAILY closure below 1.4050-1.4000.


Estimated projection target would be located around 1.3820.


On the other hand, daily persistence above 1.4240 pauses the current bearish momentum giving more time for a corrective movement towards 1.4400 to take place.

Intraday technical levels and trading recommendations for GBP/USD for January 26, 2015 Market Analysis Review

gbpusddaily.png

Many previous lows were established around 1.5550 where the GBP/USD pair found temporary DEMAND in November 2014. A bearish breakout was expressed after many unsuccessful attempts back in 2014.


A bearish breakout scenario, similar to what happened back in October, was successfully executed shortly after.


The market has already pushed further below the price level of 1.5140 (projection target of the bearish breakout) reaching the lower limit of the depicted bearish channel around 1.5050.


Initially, the GBP/USD pair has shown bullish recovery off the price level of 1.5050. However, a bearish engulfing daily candlestick was expressed off 1.5210 followed by bearish spike reaching the price level of 1.5000.


Note that bullish persistence above the recently visited low around 1.4950 enhances the bullish side of the market at least towards 1.5100.

Previous consolidation movement extended between the price levels of 1.5770 and 1.5550, it represented the state of indecision on the market after such a long bearish rally that started off 1.7100 and 1.6500.


As anticipated, the bearish breakout below 1.5550 exposed lower targets directly. Bears have already reached the price levels of 1.5050 and 1.4960 recently.


Conservative traders should wait for a bullish pullback towards the recent SUPPLY zone around 1.5370-1.5450 for a low-risk SELL entry. The stop loss should be located above 1.5500 (upper limit of the channel).


For RISKY traders, a high-risk LONG entry can be taken around the price level of 1.4900 (where the lower limit of the depicted channel is located).


Stop Loss should be set as daily closure below entry levels (1.4900 - 1.4880).

Intraday technical levels and trading recommendations for EUR/USD for January 26, 2015 Market Analysis Review

1422276716_eurusdweek.png

The market has been pushing lower aggressively after breaking below the major DEMAND LEVELS around 1.2100 and 1.2000 where historical bottoms were previously established back in July 2012 and June 2010.


EUROZONE current account stepped down to €18.1 billion which is an eight-month low. This is strongly affecting the market leading to the current long-term negative sentiment of the EUR/USD pair. The market is recently challenging historical lows that were established back in 2005 and 2003.


The pair has lost almost 750 pips since the beginning of 2015 as the market is revisiting the lowest rates since November 2003.


After monthly breakout below 1.2000, approximate long-term projection targets would be located near 0.9450.


eurusddaily.png

The market currently looks oversold below the price level of 1.2000 and 1.1900 (prominent psychological SUPPORT and the lower limit of the movement channel on the H4 chart).


Currently, SELLING the EUR/USD pair should be avoided as much as possible at such historically low prices.


Conservative traders should wait for a bullish pullback looking for better prices to SELL the pair off. On the other hand, BUYING the pair is considered a low-risk opportunity after such a steep decline especially after a daily candlestick that represents bullish reversal.


The price zone of 1.1540-1.1600 is a recently established SUPPLY zone. Short-term SELL positions can be taken there. Stop loss should be placed slightly above the price level of 1.1680.

Technical analysis of USD/CAD for January 26, 2015 Market Analysis Review

General overview for 26/01/2015 12:50 CET


The market step by step makes regular higher highs to complete the impulsive wave progression and trades in a very clear bullish golden channel. Please, notice this might be still a part of more complex corrective cycle in the wave iv black as the progression does not look clearly impulsive. This is why any breakout lower from the golden channel would directly expose the intraday support test at the level of 1.2309. However the overall bias is still bullish as the wave v black still has not been made yet.


Support/Resistance:


1.2473 - Swing High


1.2320 - Weekly Pivot


1.2309 - Intraday Support


1.2181 - WS1


Trading recommendations:


As long as the price stays above the level of 1.2309, choppy trading conditions are expected and daytraders should consider to open only a buy orders with SL just below this level, using any scalping strategy to gain 20-30 pips.

Technical analysis of EUR/JPY for January 26, 2015 Market Analysis Review

General overview for 26/01/2015 12:20 CET


According to the latest weekly analysis published on last Friday indicating important changes in overall Elliott wave labeling (You can read more here: https://www.instaforex.com/forex_analysis/55962/), we will now continue the analysis of the alternate scenario.


As it was anticipated last Friday, the market has hit the 131.05 level and now is bouncing back to the upside. This bounce might still be a part of the corrective cycle in the wave 4 blue, possibly in a shape of a triangle pattern, but any breakout higher above the level of 138.75 would indicate that the bottom for the wave 5 blue is in place. Nevertheless, on intraday time frames the market is still trading in the bearish zone and below the weekly pivot at the level of 132.95. Only a sustained breakout above the intraday resistance at the level of 134.19 would open road to test the level of 137.63. Otherwise a choppy trading conditions are expected.


Support/Resistance:


128.22 - WS1


130.14 - Swing low


131.83 - Intraday Support


132.95 - Weekly Pivot


134.19 - Intraday Resistance


134.95 - WR1


137.63 - Technical Resistance


Trading recommendations:


As long as the price stays below the level of 134.19, choppy trading conditions are expected, and daytraders should consider to open only a sell orders with SL just above this level, using any scalping strategy to gain 20-30 pips.

Weekly technical levels for GBP/USD for January 26-30, 2015 Market Analysis Review

The weekly technical levels for GBP/USD pair:


gbpusd_PP.png


Review :



  • The GBP/USD pair called for the bearish market from the price of 1.5151 towards the level of 1.4950; but the EUR/USD pair recovered again to start going upwards close to 1.5039 today.

  • This week, the levels of 1.5151 and 1.4950 represent the resistance 1 and the double bottom respectively.

  • It should be noted that the range of the last week was not so large. It was around 262 pips.

  • The support will be set at the level of 1.4889, but the double bottom is going to be set at 1.4950 today.

  • The minor resistance has been set at 1.5050 (the weekly pivot point); and the price of 1.5151 represents strong resistance.

  • We expect volatility of more than 280 pips this week. As a rule, the market is highly volatile if the last day had a huge volatility.

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

Weekly technical levels for EUR/USD for January 26-30, 2015 Market Analysis Review

The weekly technical levels for EUR/USD pair:

eurusd_PP.png


Overview :



  • The level of 1.1114 is going to form a double bottom on the H1 chart from the last week. Today, the pair has formed new double bottom at the point of 1.1097. According to the previous events, the price of EUR/USD is going to move between 1.1332 and 1.1110. It should be also noted that the market was very stable, and trend was also very clear (downward) last week. We expect bearish market today from the area of 1.1332. Moreover, the weekly pivot point has been set at the 1.1332 level for that it will act as strong resistance. So, sell below the level of 1.1332 (this level represents the weekly pivot) with the first target of 1.1114, it might resume to 1.0988 tomorrow in order to test the weekly resistance one. However, the stop loss should be always taken into account, therefore, it will be very beneficial to set your stop loss at the price of 1.1363.

#USDX technical analysis for January 26, 2015 Market Analysis Review

The Dollar index has reached my target above 95 and is making a pullback. Longer-term trend remains bullish. In the short-term the price remains supported so we should not be surprised if we see a new higher high early this week. Trend is very strong, and we should not bet against at this point.


usdx.jpg

At 94.80 we find the tenkan-sen support for the short-term. The Dollar index could make a deeper pullback towards 94 in the short-term. Such a pullback will not cancel the bullish trend, but, on the other hand, it could fuel it for a new stronger uptrend.


usdxd.jpg

The weekly chart remains fully bullish and we could see some pause in the uptrend at the current levels. We have reached very close to the 50% retracement level at 95.70. Breaking above it will could signal even more upside towards 101 where the monthly 61.8% retracement is found. Trend is very strong and bullish. Bulls should better raise their stops, and I prefer not to bet against this trend.

Gold technical analysis for January 26, 2015 Market Analysis Review

Gold price is weak starting this week with support very close to $1,280. Breaking below that level could signal the start of a deeper correction towards $1,260 or lower. Gold short-term trend is bearish while medium term trend is bullish targeting $1,330.


goldh4.jpg

Red lines = support


Two red lines on the chart above show the support at $1,280-75. The current price action is below the short-term Ichimoku cloud and is challenging the short-term support. I believe, that once support is broken, we should expect a pullback towards $1,260 or even $1,230.


goldd.jpg

At $1,265 we find the tenkan-sen support, while at $1,238 is the Kijun-sen support on a daily basis. The price is above the Ichimoku cloud. Medium-term trend is bullish as long as the price is above the cloud support. Possible upside target is at $1,330.

Technical Analysis of EUR/USD for January 26, 2015 Market Analysis Review

Traders are keeping an eye on the Greek election. Today, the radical left party has won the election. The Euro drifted to a fresh 11-year low. At Friday's session, the euro made a low at 1.1115 against the USD. After the ECB decision on 1.2 trillion euros, the pair lost more than 500 pips in 2 sessions. Today, another important report in the European economic calendar will be German Ifo business climate data. We are expecting an uptick from 105.50 in December.


As we recommended in Friday's article, in case if the pair breaks below 1.1300, we can see 1.1000. The pair made a low at 1.1115. The pair has weekly resistance at 1.1460 and 1.1600. Until the pair closes above 1.1600, use every rise to sell. The pair has intraday resistance at 1.1291, above this at 1.1330. The safe buying will be triggered only above 1.1330 with the targets at 1.1400, 1.1460, and 1.1500. Currently, there is no hope for bulls to take control over the pair. We recommend fresh selling at the current market price at 1.1200 with the targets at 1.1100, 1.1050, 1.1000, and 1.0700.

Technical Analysis of Gold for January 26, 2015 Market Analysis Review

The precious metal gave a downtick on Friday's session ahead of the Greek election. The election result has just come out. The Greek radical left party wins election. The yellow metal takes this opportunity to move northward. At the early Asian session, the metal is trading with bullish bids, expecting that anti-austerity Syriza party implements new policies to the creditors. The fall in oil prices is also supporting gold as a safe-haven asset. The metal has been facing strong resistance at $1,307.00. In the previous week, the metal managed to close above 50Wsma. Now, the focus has shifted to Wednesday's Federal meeting. The policy makers have repeatedly announced their plan to raise interest rates during 2015.


The weekly support levels exist at $1,285.00 and $1,267.00. Until the prices close above $1,267.00, bulls have an upper hand. Bulls can challenge $1,340 in case if the price breaches $1,307.00 and 100Wsma. We can see fresh buying above $1,307.00 with the targets at $1,322.00, $1,324.00, $1,330.00, and $1,340.00. On the h4 chart, the prices are closed and trading below 35DEMA levels. The 34-hr sma is providing enough support to the prices. We recommend intraday fresh buying only above $1,300.00 with the targets at $1,304.00 and $1,307.00. Strong upward move will emerge only above $1,307.00. The intraday support exists at $1,294.00. The metal will face some weakness in case if the prices fall below $1,294.00 and panic will be triggered below $1,279.00. We recommend selling below $1,283.00 with the targets at $1,280.00 and $1,272.00. Wednesday's meeting will provide clear direction for the near- and medium-term view.
