Technical analysis and trading recommendations on USD/JPY for February 20, 2015 Market Analysis Review

The greenback gained ground against the yen after the mixed US macroeconomic data. The Philly manufacturing index fell slightly from a reading of 6.3 in January to 5.2 this month. The current new orders index fell 3 points. The other data such as weekly unemployment insurance weekly claims gave good thumbs up to the US dollar. In the week ending February 14, the flash figure for seasonally adjusted initial claims was 283,000, a decrease of 21,000 from the previous week's unrevised level of 304,000. Today at the Asian session, traders are keeping an eye on Japan Flash manufacturing data. The index increased to 52.20 in January, according to the flash estimate the index could be 52.6 this month.


At yesterday's session, the pair again took support at 50Dsma and managed to close above it. Today, at the early Asian session the pair opened on a bullish note. The pair made a double top at 120.50. We can observe some distribution at 119.45. The prices are closed and trading above hourly moving averages. We recommend buying above 119.50 towards 120.00 and 120.50. Another upswing looms above 120.50. The pair has intraday support between 118.80 and 118.50. Until the pair holds and closes above 118.20, we recommend bullish views. We recommend selling only below 118.20 with the targets at 118.00 and 117.60.

Technical analysis and trading recommendations on GBP/USD for February 20, 2015 Market Analysis Review

The UK factory orders report showed a six-month high in February. British factory orders number grew at the fastest pace in February for the recent six months, according to an industry survey on Thursday. The data indicates a brighter outlook for the coming months. The outlook for the UK economy is changing for the better. The index grew by 6.0 points to 10.0 from 4.0. The drop in oil prices is a driving force of the manufacturing sector in the UK. The Pound fell 0.12% against the USD in the context of the strong US jobs data. The concerns about Greece's bailout also supported the US dollar on Thursday. The greenback enjoyed its winning steak on Thursday against most global currencies. The pair has the nearest support at 1.5400 or 12hr low. If the prices fall below 1.5400, the weakness will act in foreground. We recommend selling below 1.5395 with the targets at 1.5345 and 1.5315. On the upper side, we can expect strong momentum only above 1.5440. So we recommend buying above 1.5440 with the targets at 1.5465, 1.5480, and 1.5540.


Buying is above 1.5440.


Selling is below 1.5395.

Technical analysis and trading recommendations on EUR/USD for February 20, 2015 Market Analysis Review

EUR/USD


Finally, Greece has requested a six-month extension to its bailout agreement with the European Commission. But Germany rejected Greece's effort. If Greece exits from the eurozone, the single European currency will fall in value. The ECB is going to start the QE, so 60 billion euro asset purchases will be launched next month. Ahead of the Eurogroup meeting today in Brussels, we expect high volatility of the pair. Germany's tough stance on Greece pushed the euro lower against the USD. The pair went down 0.3% at the previous session. Today, it's a big day for Europe and the forex community. The pair is under pressure ahead of the Eurogroup meeting and major economic data. The pair managed to close above 20Dsma at the previous session. The pair has strong resistance between 1.1450 and 1.1535. We recommend selling below 1.1350 with the targets at 1.1320, 1.1280, and 1.1260. The panic will be triggered below 1.1260 for new lows. If the agreement is postponed again, the pair will try to breach 1.1450 initially and 1.1535 later.


Key economic events:


Euro group meeting, French & German flash manufacturing & services PMI, and flash services & manufacturing PMI data are due.


Risky traders can sell below 1.1350.


Safe selling is below 1.1320.

Daily analysis of USDX for February 20, 2015 Market Analysis Review

On the daily chart, the support level of 94.18 continues to be very solid trying to reject the sellers action on the USDX. Currently, we expect another bullish move to the resistance level of 95.45, because as we said in past articles, there is still enough bullish momentum on this instrument. The MACD indicator is still on the negative territory.


USDXDaily.png

We're still watching sideways movements on the intraday charts, as the USDX is trying to break the resistance level of 94.38, but during the last days, the instrument failed to break out the support level of 94.02. It is not advisable to place orders inside this zone, because the USDX aims to build a more solid structure to follow, bullish or bearish, in the short term.


USDXH1.png

Daily chart's resistance levels: 95.45 / 96.96


Dailychart's support levels: 94.18 / 93.02


H1 chart's resistance levels: 94.87 / 95.10


H1 chart's support levels: 94.38 / 94.02




Trading recommendations for today: Based on the H1 chart, place sell (short) orders only if the USD Index breaks with a bearish candlestick; the support level is at 94.38, take profit is at 94.02, and stop loss is at 94.75.

Daily analysis of GBP/USD for February 20, 2015 Market Analysis Review

The bullish bias is still alive on the GBP/USD, as the pair is trying to make a breakout at the resistance level of 1.5491, looking for a rally to the level of 1.5761, an area where sellers could enter the market, because the 200 SMA on the daily chart is trying to reach that level. Anyway, we recommend you to follow the bullish trend on this daily chart if the GBP/USD pair makes a breakout on that zone.


GBPUSDDaily.png

The resistance level of 1.5457 was so strong during yesterday's session, as the pair traded below that level. Now, the pair finds support at the level of 1.5413. We could expect another rally to the resistance level of 1.5457. Also, the 200 SMA is bullish, but the MACD indicator is still on the negative territory. So, we should be cautious when placing buy orders in the support zone of 1.5413.


GBPUSDH1.png

Daily chart's resistance levels: 1.5491 / 1.5761


Dailychart's support levels: 1.5247 / 1.5025


H1 chart's resistance levels: 1.5457 / 1.5508


H1 chart's support levels: 1.5413 / 1.5378




Trading recommendations for today: Based on the H1 chart, place long (buy) orders only if the GBP/USD pair breaks a bullish candlestick; the resistance level is at 1.5457, take profit is at 1.5508, and stop loss is at 1.5405.

Daily analysis of major pairs for February 20, 2015 Market Analysis Review

EUR/USD: This pair has not been going in a determined manner, and it would be judicious to stay away from the market until a good momentum returns to it. The price could either break the resistance line at 1.1450 to the upside or break the support line at 1.1300 to the downside.


1.png

USD/CHF: On the USD/CHF pair, a lower time frame like the hourly chart has been switched to. This is because recent price movements can be seen more clearly on the hourly chart than when looking at the 4-hour chart. The trend for this week has been upwards so far and the price is currently going above the support level at 0.9400. The next target is at the resistance level of 0.9500. By all means, this is not a market which the speculator should sell.


2.png

GBP/USD: The GBP/USD pair has managed to climb higher, supporting the recommended trading approach of buying in dips. Witty speculators could look forward to buying in the accumulation territories at 1.5400 or 1.5350, because the price could eventually stay above the distribution territory at 1.5450. It would even reach another distribution territory at 1.5500.


3.png

USD/JPY: This could be seen as a weak bull market (although further bullish movement would be needed before the bullish bias is conspicuous). The price is slightly above the EMA 56 and the RSI period 14 is also slightly above the level 50. The market may go slightly upwards.


4.png

EUR/JPY: The situation on this cross has remained unchanged. The conditions surrounding this market have made it a difficult instrument to trade. The price topped at the supply zone of 136.00, after which there was a slight bearish retracement. There is a possibility that the price may go upward from here.

Technical analysis of NZD/USD for February 20, 2015 Market Analysis Review

nzdusdh1.png


Overview :



  • The NZD/USD pair will probably continue straight from the level of 0.7478 (at 61.8% of Fibonacci retracement levels on H1 chart). Besides, it should be noted that the double bottom will be formed at the same level of 0.7478. Therefore, the NZD/USD pair is showing signs of strenght following the break of the first resistance level of 0.7500. So it will be a good idea to buy above the level of 0.7470 or/and 0.7500 with the first target of 0.7548 and further towards the last peak point 0.7577 (it will act as a strong resistance, so that it is going to be a good place to take profit, it should be also noted that this level of taking profit will coincide with 100% of Fibonacci). However, in case reversal takes place and the NZD/USD pair breaks through the support level of 0.7478, the market will lead to further decline to 0.7443 and then 0.7414 in order to indicate for the bearish market on February 20, 2015.


Trading recommendations :



  • According to previous events, the price will move between 0.7577 and 0.7415.

  • Buy above 0.7480 with the first target of 0.7546, it might resume to 0.7570.

  • Below the level of 0.7463 look for further downside with the 0.7443 and 0.7414 targets.

Technical analysis of GBP/USD for February 20, 2015 Market Analysis Review

1424382341_gbpusdh4.png

Overview :



  • The GBP/USD pair broke resistances at 1.5363. 1.5284 has turned back to supports this week. Therefore, the pair has already formed strong supports at 1.5280 and 1.5360 on H4 chart, Moreover, after breaking the ratio of 50% Fibonacci retracement levels. So, it starts signalling the bullish market at this level. It should be noted that the price has set above 50% of Fibonacci retracement levels and the price couldn't close below the supports since the 16th of February 2015. Furthermore, the RSI is still positive at the same time frame. Thus, according to previous events, the price has already moved between 1.5305 and 1.5460. It would be wise to exercise caution in this range area of 53-75 pips. In consequence, the first step is to wait for a period of tight sideway range market before breakouts. Then, the market is likely to start showing the signs of the bullish market. In other words, it will be a good idea to buy above the supports of 1.5363 and 1.5284 prices with the first target at 1.5403.The trend will climb towards the first resistance around the spot of 1.5476 which coincides with the 61.8% of Fibonacci.


Observations :



  • Range : A long-term mean reversion strategy that looks to go against strong divergence from the pair’s average value. It will typically hold trades for an extended period of time and is one of the slower moving trading strategies.

  • Warning : Please check out the market volatility before investing, because the sight price may have already been reached and scenarios might have become invalidated.

USDCAD failed to break below 1.2352 support, and stayed in the trading range between 1.2352 and 1.2797. As long as 1.2352 support holds, the price action in the range could be treated as consolidation of the uptrend from 1.1191 (Nov 21, 2014 low), one more rise to 1.3000 area is still possible after consolidation.

No changed in our view, USDJPY remains in downtrend from 120.47, the rise from 118.23 is likely consolidation of the downtrend. Further decline could be expected after consolidation, and the target would be at 116.50 area. Key resistance is at 120.47, only break above this level will indicate that the long term uptrend from 101.06 (Jul 10, 2014 low) has resumed, then the following upward movement could bring price to 125.00 area.

However, a break of 0.7875 resistance will indicate that lengthier consolidation for the downtrend is underway, then further rise to 0.8000 area could be seen.

Elliott wave analysis of EUR/NZD for February 19 - 2015 Market Analysis Review

2015-02-19-EURNZD-4H.png

Technical summary:


We have seen the expected test of minor resistance at 1.5210 (the high was seen at 1.5209). We will now look for the final decline closer to support at 1.5000 before the correction from 1.5821 finally is over and a new impulsive rally can be expected. The short-term resistance at 1.5209 will protect the upside from a break below minor support at 1.5078, thus confirming the final decline towards 1.5000. It will also set the stage for a new impulsive rally high. Only an unexpected rally past 1.5209 will indicate that a bottom could already be in place.


Trading recommendation:


We will buy the euro near 1.5000 or upon a break above 1.5210.

Elliott wave analysis of EUR/JPY for February 19 - 2015 Market Analysis Review

2015-02-19-EURJPY-D.png

Technical summary:


We are still looking for a little more upside movement in wave (iv) towards 137.65 before this correction is over. It should take wave (v) lower to 125.98 to end wave C of the expanded flat wave [2]. It's worth remembering, that after an expanded flat wave two an extended third wave should be expected. As long as support at 133.92 protect the downside, we should keep looking for wave (iv) to move a little higher, but from 137.65 or upon a break below 133.92 wave (v) lower should be expected.


Trading recommendation:


We will still look to sell the euro at 137.55 or upon a break below 133.92.

Gold analysis for February 19, 2015 Market Analysis Review

GOLDDaily19.png

GOLDH419.png


Overview :


Since our last analysis gold has been trading upwards. As we expected, the price has tested the level of 1,221.07 in a high volume. According to the H4 time frame, we can observe rejection from our Fibonacci retracement at the price of 1,200.00. We are still waiting for larger activity on the market. I have placed Fibonacci retracement according to the low point at the price of 1,197.43 and got Fibonacci retracement 38.2% at the price of 1,240.00 and Fibonacci retracement 61.8% at the price of 1,265.00. My advice is to watch for potential buying opportunities on the lows (buy on the dips).


Daily Fibonacci pivot points:


Resistance levels :


R1: 1,209.79


R2: 1,213.61


R3: 1,219.18


Support levels :


S1: 1,197.47


S2: 1,193.59


S3: 1,187.40


Trading recommendations: Watch for potential buying opportunities after retracement (buy on the dips).

Technical analysis of USD/CHF for February 19, 2015 Market Analysis Review

usdchfh4.png

Overview :



  • The USD/CHF pair has not shown signs of breaking the highest levels of 0.9341 and 0.9425. The support has already been set at the spot of 0.9347 for several days. Therefore, it will be a good sign to buy above the level of 0.9425/0.9341 (because we expect a bullish market in coming days) with the first target of 0.9481 and resume to 0.9540 in order to form a new double top this week. Moreover, the resistance is going to be placed at the price of 0.9544. Hence, we expect a range between the levels of 0.9544 and 0.9435. However, in case a reversal takes place and the USD/CHF pair breaks through the minor support level of 0.9430, the market will lead to further decline to 0.9402. Additionally, it will be able to indicate the correction movement at this level. But it should be noted that the channel emerging of RSI is still positive on the H1 chart. So, the RSI calls for a new uptrend at this level (0.9435). Also, we should notice a point of view that the MA(50) would be a confirmation for the uptrend but in the short-term period.

Technical analysis of USD/CAD for February 19, 2015 Market Analysis Review

usdcadh1.png


Overview :



  • The support of the USD/CAD pair has been broken and turned to resistance at the same key level of 1.2524 (50% of Fibonacci retracement levels on H1 chart). So, resistance has already been set at the price of 1.2524 and the double top was set at the same price too. It is equally important that the trend is going to see the bearish market and the the price is set below the resistance since the 13th of February 2015. Another thought: we expect a range of 91 pips until the end of the New York session. We expect that the price is going to move between 1.2440 and 1.2524. Therefore, the USD/CAD pair started showing the signs of the bearish market from the spot of 1.2524. Consequently, the market indicates the bearish opportunity at the level of 1.2530 with the first target at 1.2493, then it continues towards the level of 1.2433 in the coming hours. It should be noted that the level of 1.2433 represents strong support on February 19, 2015. Moreover, the same level coincides with the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement levels at the same time frame (H1). Consequently, the pair is going to form a strong support at the 1.2433 price. On the other hand, the stop loss should always be taken into account, hence it will be wise to set your stop loss at the price of 1.2570.

Technical analysis of EUR/JPY for February 19, 2015 Market Analysis Review


Technical outlook and chart setups:


The EUR/JPY pair rallied higher into the levels of 136.00 today before pulling back. The air is trading at the levels of 135.40/50 for now and should be poised to rally higher towards the levels of 137.50 and 138.50, respectively.

Immediate support is seen at 135.00 (interim) followed by 134.00, 133.50 and lower, while resistance is seen at the levels of 137.50, followed by 138.50, 142.30, respectively.

Remain long. Stop is at 133.00, target is 137.50/138.00.


Good luck!

Technical analysis of USD/CAD for Febuary 19, 2015 Market Analysis Review

General overview for 19/02/2015 10:35 CET


The wave development on this pair is getting more and more complex and time-consuming. The price action is full of whipsaws and false breakouts. The intraday golden channel is now the key structure to keep an eye on, because any breakout higher or lower will have a critical consequences on market behavior. Any upside breakout above the intraday resistance at the level of 1.2489 is bullish and even the black mid-term trend line might be tested. On the other hand, a downward breakout below the golden channel might result in technical support violation at the level of 1.2349 and the projected target level for wave Y brown might be hit.


Support/Resistance:


1.2783 - WR2


1.2590 - WR1


1.2506 - Weekly Pivot


1.2489 - Intraday Resistance


1.2359 - Intraday Support


1.2348 - Technical Support


1.2250 - 1.2231 - Projected Target Zone


Trading recommendations:


Daytraders should wait for the market breakout in either direction and refrain from trading until a breakout happens.

The GBP/CHF pair seems to be retracing for now and is trading at the levels of 1.4515. As depicted here, the Fibonacci support begins at the levels of 1.4467, while 1.4391 (fibonacci 0.618) remains the best buy opportunity. It is recommended to remain flat for now and look to enter buying at lower levels. Candlestick support is seen at 1.4260/70 followed by 1.4100, 1.4000, while resistance is seen at the levels of 1.4650 levels followed by 1.4750 and higher, respectively. Please note that a break below the trend line and subsequently 1.4270 could indicate a deeper correction.


Trading recommendations:


Remain flat for now.


Good luck!

#USDX technical analysis for February 19, 2015 Market Analysis Review

The dollar index remains inside the trading range that we have seen for the last few days. The dollar index on the daily chart is also close to breaking the lower triangle pattern boundaries. This will be a sell signal with a possible pullback target of 92.80-93.


usdx.jpg

Blue line = support


Green line = resistance


The dollar index is still trading inside the trading range that we have seen for the last few days. The trend is neutral. There is no clear direction. Support is at 93.40 and resistance at 95.30. I prefer to wait before making a trade in such market conditions.


usdxd.jpg

Black lines = triangle


The Dollar index is testing the triangle boundaries on the daily chart as shown above. The trend remains neutral. There is no clear direction in the short term. I prefer to stay neutral and buy the index if we break above 95 because the longer-term trend is bullish and my longer-term target is 100.

Gold technical analysis for February 19, 2015 Market Analysis Review

Gold price has reached my target of $1,200 and marginally broke below that level but has found support, as expected, and is now turning higher. The medium-term trend remains bearish, but there is a good chance gold price makes a considerable upward move from the current levels.


goldh4.jpg

Blue line = support


Black line = resistance


Gold price is trying to bounce towards the Ichimoku cloud resistance. The price is above the kijun-sen and the tenkan-sen. This means that there is a short-term bullish momentum that could push the price towards the cloud resistance. The trend is bearish since the price is below the cloud.


goldd.jpg

As shown on the daily chart above, gold price has found support right at the top of the Ichimoku cloud support. This support level is very important. If we break below this support level, we should expect gold price to move towards $1,150. Resistance is at $1,225 where the tenkan-sen(red line) is found. If we close above $1,225, we should expect a move higher towards $1,255 where the kijun-sen (yellow line) is found.

USD/CAD intraday technical levels and trading recommendations for February 19, 2015 Market Analysis Review

cadweekly.png1424335367_caddaily.png

Overview:


The USD/CAD pair has been trending upwards within the bullish channel depicted on the WEEKLY chart.


The market looked overbought since bulls have pushed further above the upper limit of both depicted bullish channels as well as the 79.6%Fibonacci level. That is why a bearish correction that started off 1.2750 was anticipated in the previous articles.


The nearest SUPPORT level to meet the USD/CAD pair is located around 1.2300 (79.6% Fibonacci level).


Note that the USD/CAD bulls have been defending the recent INTRADAY SUPPORT around 1.2300 (broken 79.6% Fibonacci Level).


The market has not retested the newly-established DAILY SUPPORT around 1.2000.


DAILY closure below the price level of 1.2300 exposes the next DAILY SUPPORT around 1.2000 where the backside of the upper limit of the breached channel is located.


On the other hand, the bullish persistence above 1.2300 (79.6% Fibonacci level) enhances further bullish advancement towards 1.2760-1.2780 without further retesting of 1.2000.


Trading recommendations:


Wait for DAILY closure below 1.2300 for SHORTING the USD/CAD pair. TP levels should be set at 1.2250 and 1.2190. Stop Loss should be set as DAILY closure again above the ENTRY levels (1.2300).

GBP/USD intraday technical levels and trading recommendations for February 19, 2015 Market Analysis Review

gbpusddaily.pnggbpusdh4.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 provided support for the pair few weeks ago.


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


On February 5 initial bullish breakout above 1.5220 took place. Shortly after, a new DAILY support was established around 1.5170-1.5200 (an ascending bottom, a sign of ongoing bullish momentum).


Since then, the GBP/USD pair has been trending upwards within the depicted H4 channel. Persistence of the 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 on the H4 chart) which did not provide enough RESISTANCE.


The long-term projection target for the recent bullish breakout above 1.5220 is located around 1.5500-1.5550 where the previous DAILY bottoms are located (DAILY RESISTANCE).


Trading recommendations:


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


For traders who missed the initial breakout, a valid buy entry can be taken at retesting of 1.5260 with SL located below the recent bottom around 1.5200.

Intraday technical levels and trading recommendations for EUR/USD for February 19, 2015 Market Analysis Review

eurmonth.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 EUR/USD 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 FULL bearish MONTHLY below 1.2000 (January's monthly candlestick).


eurusddaily.png

The breakout below 1.2000 and 1.1900 (prominent psychological SUPPORT) allowed quick bearish decline towards 1.1100 to take place few days later.


Conservative traders were suggested to wait for a bullish pullback looking for better prices to SELL the EUR/USD pair off (R1 at 1.1550 and R2 at 1.1700).


However, note that a bearish Flag pattern is being established on the daily chart. A low-risk SELL entry can be taken around 1.1570-1.1590 where a prominent DAILY SUPPLY is roughly located.


1424334445_eurh4.png

The price zone of 1.1470-1.1490 is a recently established SUPPLY zone on the H4 chart (the upper limit of a newly-established consolidation zone ).


Short-term SELL positions can be taken there. Stop loss should be placed slightly above the price level of 1.1530 (the recent high).


Moreover, risky traders can wait for DAILY closure below 1.1260 (recent DEMAND level, lower limit of the H4 consolidation zone). This probably indicates a bearish visit towards the WEEKLY low around 1.1110.

Technical analysis and trading recommendations on Gold for February 19, 2015 Market Analysis Review

The yellow metal prices bounced from a 6-week low after the Federal Reserve's dovish statement. They are not in a hurry to raise the benchmark interest rate. In addition, the economic data in US was also disappointing. China is heading into a holiday period ahead of the Lunar New year. Before this holiday period, physical buying is moderate. In India, RBI lifted a ban on gold imports. Nominated banks get permission to import gold on a consignment basis. However, the 20:80 (EXPORT:IMPORT) scheme on gold has to be applied. Today at the Asian early session, the metal is gaining some ground ahead of unemployment claims. The nearest resistance exists at 1217.00. On a weekly closing basis, bulls must close above 1217.00. The intraday support exists at 1209.00. On the h4-chart, the prices are closed and trading above hourly moving averages. The prices are expanding lower swings on the hourly charts. Intraweek resistance exists at $1,227.00. Intraday resistance is placed at $1,222.50.


Resistance: $1,217.00, $1222.50, $1,227.00.


Support: $1,197.00, $1190.00, $1,185.00.


Selling below $1,1209.00.


Buying above $1,217.00.


TREND DECIDER LEVEL BETWEEN $1,191.00 AND $1,190.00.
