Technical analysis of USD/JPY for February 13, 2015 Market Analysis Review

USDJPYM30.png

Fundamental overview:
USD/JPY is expected to trade with bearish bias. It is undermined by the weaker USD sentiment (ICE spot dollar index last 94.18 versus 94.92 early Thursday) on 0.8% drop in the U.S. January retail sales (versus forecast -0.5%), a rise in the U.S. jobless claims to 304,000 for the week ended on February 7 (versus forecast 290,000), 0.1% increase in the U.S. December business inventories (versus forecast +0.2%). USD/JPY is also weighed by the lower U.S. Treasury yields (10-year at 1.986% versus 2.021% late Wednesday), Japan's exports and the reports that Japan's central bank thinks any further stimulus measures would be counterproductive and consumer sentiment would be hurt by more yen weakness. But the USD/JPY losses are tempered by demand from the Japanese importers, reduced safe-haven appeal of theyen and yen-funded carry trades as global risk sentiment improves (VIX fear gauge eased 9.55% to 15.34, S&P 500 rose 0.96% to close at 2,088.48 overnight) on news that Germany and France brokered a cease-fire with Russia to end nearly a year of fighting in Ukraine, and by positions adjustment ahead of the U.S. long weekend (financial markets in the U.S. are shut on Monday for a public holiday).


Technical comment:
The daily chart is mixed as the MACD is bullish, 5 and 15-day moving averages are advancing but stochastics is turned bearish at overbought levels.


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 118.30. A break of this target will move the pair further downward to 118. The pivot point stands at 119.30. 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 119.75 and the second target at 120.20.


Resistance levels:

Technical analysis of GBP/CHF for February 13, 2015 Market Analysis Review


Technical outlook and chart setups:


The GBP/CHF pair has raised through the levels of 1.4360 taking our stops out at 1.4230. The pair has been steadily making higher highs and higher lows since the drop from 1.5550 to 1.1800 on January 15, 2015. The immediate resistance is seen around the handle of 1.4600/1.4700 (Fibonacci 0.786), while the support is seen at the levels of 1.4100 for now. Only a drop below the levels of 1.4100 would build a case of selling into rallies. Until then, it is safe to buy on dips. It is recommended to buy on dips into 1.4200/50 from here on with risk at the levelsof 1.4100. Bulls shall remain in control untill prices stay above the 1.4100 handle.


Trading recommendations:


Buy on dips towards 1.4200/50; stop is at 1.4100, target is at 1.4600 and 1.4700.


Good luck!

USDCHFM30.png

Fundamental overview:
USD/CHF is expected to consolidate with risks skewed lower after hitting an eight-day high of 0.9338 on Thursday. It is undermined by the weaker dollar sentiment. But the USD/CHF losses are tempered by the negative Swiss interest rates, the threat of theSNB CHF-selling intervention, the franc sales on buoyant EUR/CHF cross, and by positions adjustment ahead of the weekend.


Technical comment:
The daily chart is still positive-biased as the MACD and stochastics are bullish, although the latter is at overbought levels.

As long as the price is keeping above its pivot point, a long position is recommended with the first target at 0.9335 and the second target at 0.9365. In an alternative scenario, if the price moves below its pivot points, short positions are recommended with the first target at 0.9205. A break of this target would push the pair further downwards, and one may expect the second target at 0.9160. The pivot point is at 0.9240.

Technical analysis of Silver for February 13, 2015 Market Analysis Review


Technical outlook and chart setups:


Silver has retested its support at the levels $16.60/65 before bouncing back higher towards the levels of $17.06. The metal is trading at the levels of $16.90 for now and is expected to resume rally any moment. Besides, note that the trend line support is still intact and the Fibonacci 0.618 support is also passing through the same region. A bullish candlestick appearance at the current levels would confirm that the next move is higher towards $18.90, $19.50 and $21.00, respectively. Bulls shall remain under control untill prices stay above the level of $16.50 and $15.50, respectively. It is recommended to remain long, risk remains at $16.00. Immediate support is at $16.50, while resistance is seen at $17.40/50.


Trading recommendations:


Remain long; stop is at $16.00, target is at $19.50 and $20.25.


Good luck!

Daily analysis of Silver for February 13, 2015 Market Analysis Review

SILVER_13-2.png

Overview


According to the current H4 chart, silver is still stabilizing above the support level of 16.75 and could not break it. Currently, it is bouncing from it towards the resistance level of 17.00. So, we still suggest waiting for closing above the resistance level in case of bouncing from the support level to provide a new opportunity for more buy signals with the first target few pips below the resistance level of 17.50. Then, after breaking this resistance level silver would open the way towards the resistance level of 17.70, which means more bullish signals, but as long as the metal trades below the resistance level of 17.00, this cancels the bullish scenario.


Resistance and support levels: R3 (17.70), R2 (17.50), R1 (17.00), S1 (16.75), S2 (16.50), S3(16.20).

GBP/USD intraday technical levels and trading recommendations for February 13, 2015 Market Analysis Review

gbppusddi.pnggbppph44.png

Overview:


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


The market has already pushed further below reaching down to 1.5030-1.4980 where the lower limit of the channel has been providing support for the pair over the past few weeks.


Recently, H4 chart showed a transition phase into a sideway movement that has been maintained within the depicted price range.


A bearish engulfing daily candlestick was expressed at retesting of the upper limit of the daily channel on Friday. Hence, the GBP/USD pair went back to retesting the newly-established DAILY SUPPORT around 1.5170-1.5200, which allowed bulls to establish a new ascending bottom (a sign of ongoing bullish momentum).


The persistence of the GBP/USD pair above the recent DAILY support (the price zone of 1.5170-1.5200) applied extensive bullish pressure over the price level of 1.5360 (61.8% Fibonacci level).


This led to an obvious daily breakout above 1.5300 that took place yesterday.


Trading recommendations:


A valid BUY entry could have been taken upon the yesterday's DAILY closure (above 1.5360). SL should be placed slightly below the recent bottom around 1.5200.


As long as bulls keep defending the recent SUPPORT around 1.5350, they should keep targeting at 1.5460 and 1.5580.

Daily analysis of GBP/JPY for February 13, 2015 Market Analysis Review

GBPJPY_13-2.png

Overview


Proceeding from the today's H4 chart, the pair is still trading between the support level of 182.50 and the resistance level of 183.50 and currently the pair fails again to break the resistance level. If the pair breaks it to take an upward movement, it may continue its bullish trend and we will get a good opportunity to buy again above the resistance level of 183.500 untill the 4H closing above the resistance level of 184.00 as a level target. Then we should wait for breaking this resistance level to continue the upward move and open the way towards the resistance level of 184.40. On the other hand, if the pair fails to break the resistance level of 183.50 and bounces from it, it might take a downward trend, which will enable the support level of 182.50 again. Therefore, we suggest waiting for the next closing before making the decision.




Resistance and support levels: R3 (184.40), R2 (184.00), R1 (183.50), S1 (182.50), S2 (182.00), S3 (181.00).

Intraday technical levels and trading recommendations for EUR/USD for February 13, 2015 Market Analysis Review

eurmon.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.


The pair has lost almost 800 pips since the beginning of 2015. Moreover, theoretical long-term bearish targets would be located near 0.9450, especially after the obvious MONTHLY closure of January took place below 1.2000.


eurdaily.pngeurh4.png

On the daily chart the market looked oversold below the price levels of 1.2000 and 1.1900 (prominent psychological SUPPORT).


As mentioned in the previous articles, conservative traders should be waiting for a bullish pullback looking for better prices to SELL the pair off (R1 at 1.1550 and R2 at 1.1700).


The price zone of 1.1440-1.1470 is a recently established SUPPLY zone on the H4 chart. Short-term SELL positions can be taken there. Stop loss should be placed slightly above the price level of 1.1530 (the recent high).


Note the recent ascending bottom established around 1.1250 on the DAILY chart. This applies considerable bullish pressure on 1.1440-1.1470. That is why a bullish breakout above 1.1540 scenario should now be considered. If so, the next destination for the pair would be the price level of 1.1700.


Moreover, risky traders should note that DAILY fixation again below 1.1260, which is a recent DEMAND level depicted on the H4 chart, activates a DOUBLE-TOP reversal pattern exposing the recent lows around 1.1110 for retesting.

Intraday technical levels and trading recommendations for GBP/USD for February 13, 2015 Market Analysis Review

1423825740_gbpusdD.png

The previous consolidation movement extended between the price levels of 1.5600 and 1.5770. It represented a period of indecision on the market after such a long bearish rally that started off 1.7100 and 1.6500.


Bearish breakout below 1.5550 directly exposed lower targets. Bears have already pushed towards the price levels of 1.5050 and 1.4960 which have not been visited since July 2013.


Around these price levels (1.5050 and 1.4960) the market has established another consolidation zone, which extended up to the price levels of 1.5250-1.5280.


Last week, bearish scenario was threatened on Thursday when temporary bullish breakout took place. On Friday it was followed by a bearish engulfing daily candlestick that pushed the GBP/USD pair inside the channel again.


However, yesterday bullish breakout was finally executed above the price level of 1.5300. Estimated projection targets are located around 1.5600-1.5640 where the most recent consolidation zone is located.


1423825991_gbpusdh4.png

Yesterday the GBP/USD pair has spiked above the price zone of 1.5280-1.5320 (prominent SUPPLY ZONE) which failed to provide enough SUPPLY for the pair.


The price level of 1.5300 corresponded to the upper limit of the depicted H4 channel as well as 50% Fibonacci level of the recent bearish swing that extended between 1.5600 and 1.4976.

A bullish morning star candle stick pattern remains highly probable at the moment indicating a potential uptrend/rally from current levels. Immediate support is seen at $1,205.00 followed by $1,170.00 and lower, while resistance is seen at $1,245.00 followed by $1,286.00 and higher, respectively. Furthermore, the metal has kept its rising trend line support intact, which indicates no change in the short-term trend as well. Bulls are poised to remain in control untill prices remain above $1,170.00 levels.


Trading recommendations:


Remain ling; stop is at $1,170.00, target is $1,340.00.

#USDX technical analysis for February 13, 2015 Market Analysis Review

The Dollar index got rejected at the resistance area yesterday and is pulling back down towards the support at 93.50. The dollar index remains inside a trading range. Therefore, the trend is neutral. However, the longer-term trend remains bullish with 100 as a possible target if we break above 96.


usdx.jpg

Green line = resistance


Blue line = support


The dollar index is trading sideways between the important support and resistance levels as shown on the 4 hour chart above. The trend is neutral as the dollar index trades around the Ichimoku cloud. Bulls need to break above 95.30 and bears need to break below 93.40. Short-term traders should better wait for a signal before trading or open positions in favor of the trading range. In other words, opening longs near support and short positions near resistance with a stop reverse strategy.


usdxd.jpg

On the daily chart the dollar index has broken below the tenkan-sen and unless we close above it today, we should expect a push lower towards the kijun-sen (yellow line). The longer-term trend remains bullish.

Gold technical analysis for February 13, 2015 Market Analysis Review

Gold price is mostly moving sideways near its trend lows after topping at $1,307. The price has reached the 61.8% retracement support and for now it trades around this level. Short-term trend is bearish. If gold price fails to hold above $1,216, we should expect a push towards $1,200.


goldh4.jpg

Black lines = resistance


Gold price is testing the first short-term resistance at $1,230. Yesterday we saw gold price got rejected at $1,230 and the same has happened earlier today. Breaking above $1,230 will push price towards the second short-term resistance at $1,240. Important trend resistance is found at the black downward sloping trend line at $1,260 where we also see the Ichimoku cloud resistance.


goldd.jpg

On the daily chart gold price remains near and above the 61.8% retracement. Bulls should expect a strong upward reversal from the current levels. Bears on the other hand want to see the support at $1,215 fail and the resistance at $1,240 to be held.

Technical analysis of USD/CAD for Febuary 13, 2015 Market Analysis Review

General overview for 13/02/2015 07:35 CET


The recent wave development is going on as anticipated with new local lows after a golden channel's breakout. The market should now continue lower, but any price movement above the key level at the level of 1.2565 would be a game changer with a possible supply zone test. Nevertheless, the market shows sighs of weakness and new lows should be made soon. First confirmation of this scenario comes with the intraday support at the level of a 1.2436 breakout.


Support/Resistance:


11273 2- WR1


1.2653 - 1.2695 - Supply Zone


1.2565 - Intraday Resistance


1.2436 - Intraday Support


1.2543 - Weekly Pivot


Trading recommendations:


Yesterday's sell orders should be still kept open and SL should be now placed above the level of 1.2565 (entry was 1.2543, so it is only 22 pips). First TP orders should be placed at the level of 1.2349.

Daily analysis of major pairs for February 13, 2015 Market Analysis Review

EUR/USD: The EUR is trying to recover some of its losses, and this fact is made conspicuous in other EUR pairs. The bullish effort here is posing threats to the extant long-term bearish bias and a movement above the resistance line at 1.1500 would mean the end of the bearish bias and a beginning of a clean bullish bias.


1.png

USD/CHF: Although the outlook on this pair is bullish and the price is supposed to be going upwards, there is now a high probability that there could be some short-term or protracted pullbacks in the market. One thing is sure, the possible pullbacks would not be permanent and the price could continue its upward journey after that (even if it would be a consolidation to the upside).


2.png

GBP/USD: The GBP/USD pair has moved upwards this week. From the accumulation territory at 1.5200, the price rose upwards, reaching the distribution territory at 1.5400. This is a movement of 200 pips. The distribution territory at 1.5400 has already been challenged and would soon be breached to the upside.


3.png

USD/JPY: This currency trading instrument experienced a large pullback on Thursday, but the pullback has not succeeded rendering the bullish outlook invalid, unless the price closes below the demand level at 118.00.


4.png

EUR/JPY: This is also a bull market – irrespective of the pullback that happened on Thursday. The price is above the EMA 56 (the EMA 11 is also above the EMA 56) and the RSI period 14 is above the level 50. This shows that bulls are still in control.

Technical analysis of EUR/JPY for Febuary 13, 2015 Market Analysis Review

General overview for 13/02/2015 07:30 CET


According to this Elliott wave count, the current wave progression is a triangle wave -iv- black and only one more wave to the upside has left to complete the corrective wave Y brown. The projected target is at the level of 137.64. When it is hit, the market should reverse and start now an impulsive wave downside. On the other hand, this view is invalidated if the level of intraday support at the level of 134.71 is violated before a new high is made.


Support/Resistance:


137.64 - Technical Resistance| Wave 4 Projected Target|


137.27 - WR2


136.68 - Intraday Resistance


134.71 - Intraday Support


134.21 - Weekly Pivot


133.11 - WS1


Trading recommendations:


Here are two scenarios for daytraders:


Any breakout above the green trend line and further above the level of 136.67 is bullish and daytraders should consider buy orders only. Please set the SL rather tight (20-30 pips) and TP ant the level of 137.64.


Any breakout below the level of 134.71 is bearish and daytraders should consider opening sell orders only. Please set the SL rather tight (20-30 pips) and TP at the level of 134.21 and 133.11.

Elliott wave analysis of EUR/NZD for February 13 - 2015 Market Analysis Review

2015-02-13-EURNZD-4H.png

Technical summary:


We still think the best count is that wave (ii) ends at 1.5198. However, to put this preferable scenario into practise, we need support at 1.5212 staying untouched for a break above minor resistance at 1.5359 and more importantly a break above resistance at 1.5393 for the next rally higher towards 1.6668. Only a break below 1.5212 will delay the expected upside pressure, but the downside potential should prove to be very limited.


Trading recommendations:


We will buy EUR at 1.5290 or upon a break above 1.5393 with a stop placed at 1.5190.

Elliott wave analysis of EUR/JPY for February 13 - 2015 Market Analysis Review

2015-02-13-EURJPY-4H.png

Technical summary:


We have seen the expected consolidation and a break above 135.95. More importantly, a break above 136.35 will indicate that the final rally higher towards 137.65 is developing to end wave (iv) and set the stage for wave (v) lower to the ideal target of 125.98. At this point, only an unexpected direct break below support at 134.00 will indicate that the correction from 130.14 ended early and the decline towards 125.98 already is developing.

Technical analysis and trading recommendations on Gold for February 13, 2015 Market Analysis Review

The weaker US dollar helped the metal hold the crucial support levels at 1217.00. The yellow metal initially took advantage of the weaker dollar and moved to buying at $1232.60 at the end of the day. The metal spiked after Sweden announced rate cuts below zero and a bond-buying program. The Riksbank lowered its benchmark rate to minus 0.1% from zero and said it would buy government bonds worth 10 billion Swedish krona ($1.2 billion). The US economy data disappointed the economists. The US retail sales fell very sharply to 0.8% in January after a 0.9% drop in December. If a daily close is below $1,217.00, bears can challenge $1,207.00, $1,204.00, and $1,199.00. The weekly key support level is set at $1,216.00. Today, the metal opened on a bullish tone. We recommend fresh selling only below 1216.00. Gold has strong resistance at 1246.00.


Resistance: $1,226.00, $1,231.00, $1,245.00.

Technical analysis and trading recommendations on GBP/USD for February 13, 2015 Market Analysis Review

The UK's inflation stood at 0.5% in December 2014 which is well below the 2% target, down from 1.2% in the previous month. The main reason for this was the steepest fall in wholesale energy prices during the second half of 2014. If energy prices continue falling further, inflation could temporarily turn negative as it was predicted in the BoE inflation report. Declining energy prices make the BoE maintain the key interest rate at the historical low of 0.5%.


At yesterday's session, the cable gave an upside breakout from the falling bearish channel. The weak US dollar helped the pound move higher. The cable managed to closed above 50Dsma. This is the first time when the pair closed above50Dsma after it was taken off and closed below it on July 29, 2014. At yesterday's session, we recommend intraday buying above 1.5270 with the targets at 1.5300, 1.5320, 1.5350, and 1.5375. The cable made a high at 1.5415. Today, at the Asian session, the cable is unable to breach the previous day's high. We recommend fresh buying above 1.5420 with the targets at 1.5440, 1.5500, and 1.5590. The intraday support is set at 1.5360, 1.5330, and 1.5300. We recommend selling only below 1.5300.

Technical analysis of EUR/USD for February 13, 2015 Market Analysis Review

eurusdh4.png

Overview :



  • The EUR/USD pair rebounded from the level of 1.1304 (23.6% of Fibonacci retracement levels on H4 chart). Hence, the trend has been showing signs of strenght after the level of 1.1304 since yesterday. Equally important, it should be noted that the resistance has broken and it has turned into support at the same key level (1.1304). In addition, the price will set above the new support for a while because the pair has already formed a strong support at 1.1304. Furthermore, the trend is expected to move between the levels of 1.1325 and 1.1452 until the end of this week. Therefore, the EUR/USD pair will start showing signs of the bullish market from minor support around the 1.1340-1.1366 area again in order to indicate a bullish opportunity at 1.1340 or/and 1.1366 with a first target of 1.1432 (38.2% of Fibonacci retracement levels). The pair will continue towards 1.1492 to test the last double top on the 4h chart. On the contrary, if the level of 1.1304 is broken, the pair could close below it at the same time frame. It is 1.1300 which means that the market will call for a downtrend below the level of 1.3600 to start a bearish bias towards 1.1245 on Friday 13 February, 2015.

Technical analysis of GBP/USD for February 13, 2015 Market Analysis Review

1423773626_gbpusdh4.png

Overview :



  • According to the previous events, the price of GBP/USD called for a strong bullish market from the price of 1.5200 yesterday (February 12, 2015). Therefore, the market will continue to move between the levels of 1.5366 and 1.5405 today. So, it would be wise to excercise caution in this range around the level of 50% Fibonacci retracement because the ratio of 50% coincides with the price of 1.5368. So, the first step is to wait for a period of tight sideway range market before breakouts. Then, the possible scenario is that the market is going to start showing signs of the bullish market again. In other words, it will be a good sign to buy above the level of 1.5360 with a first target of 1.5433 which climbs towards the first resistance around the area of 1.5467 (61.8% of Fibonacci retracement levels on H4 chart). However, if the the pair cannot break this resistance, hence the market will indicate a bearish opportunity below 1.5470. Then, the level is going to act really as strong resistance. Accordingly, it will be a good idea to sell below 1.5470 with a first target of 1.5402 and it is going to call for a downtrend in order to continue the bearish market towards 1.5332 on February 13, 2015.
