Daily analysis of GBP/USD for May 13, 2015 Market Analysis Review

A bullish path is very strong on the GBP/USD daily chart because the pair is looking to rise until the resistance zone of 1.5745. We could expect some kind of sideways consolidation above the 200 SMA in this time frame as the pair is trading in favor of the overall trend. The MACD indicator is already supporting the current bullish bias.

On the H1 chart, GBP/USD is already trading with a bullish pattern formation in progress as the pair is looking to reach new highs after a possible breakout at the resistance level of 1.5706 in the short term. Currently, we can observe some fractals in the current short-term bullish structure, which is already calling for more upside move.

USD/CAD intraday technical levels and trading recommendations for May 12, 2015 Market Analysis Review

cadweekly.pngcaddailly.png

Overview:

Since bulls pushed the price further above the upper limit of both depicted bullish channels and the 79.6% Fibonacci level, the market looked quite overbought. That is why the market failed to hold above 1.2650 - 1.2680 (previous highs) resulting in the formation of a Triple-top pattern.

Successive lower highs were established within the depicted consolidation zone enhancing the bearish side of the market.

Support levels around 1.2350 and 1.2300 (79.6% Fibonacci level) were broken after providing significant support for several weeks on the daily and weekly charts.

Daily fixation below 1.2300 cleared the way for the USD/CAD pair towards the levels of 1.2000 and 1.1940 (projection target of the recent range breakout and the depicted weekly uptrend).

That is why we expected these price levels to provide significant signs of bullish price action. However, bearish breakout shouldn't be excluded this week as bearish pressure has originated this week (successive lower highs were expressed around the price zone of 1.2100-1.2150).

On the other hand, the price zone of 1.2330-1.2350 remains a significant intraday resistance zone for further retesting. This zone is likely to offer a low-risk sell entry while retesting.

Trading recommendations:

Risky traders could have taken a buy entry anywhere around the price level of 1.1950. T/P is projected at 1.2100, 1.2270 and 1.2320.

Note that breakdown of the recent low at 1.1940 invalidates this bullish scenario.

On the other hand, conservative traders should wait for a bullish pullback towards the price zone of 1.2300-1.2340 for a low-risk sell entry. T/P levels should be placed at 1.2220, 1.2100, and 1.1950 while S/L should be placed above 1.2250.

Intraday technical levels and trading recommendations for GBP/USD for May 12, 2015 Market Analysis Review

gbpusdweekly.png

Significant supply levels located around 1.5300 (weekly 38.2% Fibonacci level) and 1.5500 (weekly 50% Fibonacci level) have been providing significant supply over the GBP/USD pair for a few months.

Evident bullish recovery emerged from the area around 1.4550 where a significant bullish engulfing weekly candlestick was expressed.

As mentioned in the previous articles, persistence above the levels of 1.5000-1.5080 exposed the weekly supply zone of 1.5500-1.5550 (roughly corresponding to weekly 50% Fibonacci level), where significant bearish pressure was previously applied on February 22.

The current weekly candlestick closure should be monitored to determine the next destination of the pair.

As anticipated, persistence above the weekly supply at 1.5530 ends the ongoing bearish trend for a few weeks.

1431447351_gbpdaily.png

Sideways movement with slight bearish tendency had been expressed on the daily chart until the bullish breakout took place above 1.4970-1.5000 (via a Full-body bullish candlesticks).

The price zone between 1.5000 and 1.5050 (daily 38.2% and 50% Fibonacci levels) now constitutes the prominent demand level for the GBP/USD pair.

As anticipated, it offered a valid buy entry for retesting that took place on Tuesday. S/L can be advanced to 1.5250 to secure some profits now.

As already mentioned, daily candlestick closure above the weekly supply zone 1.5500-1.5530 exposed the next supply level located at 1.5730 (100% Fibonacci Expansion of the recent bullish swing).

The next SUPPLY level to meet the pair is located near the price level of 1.5950 (141.4% Fibonacci Expansion of the recent bullish swing) if enough bullish momentum is maintained above 1.5740.

Intraday technical levels and trading recommendations for EUR/USD for May 12, 2015 Market Analysis Review

eurmonth.png

The market was pushed lower 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 lost almost 1,500 pips since the beginning of 2015. Moreover, EUR/USD bears have already pushed the market slightly below the monthly demand level at 1.0550 (established on January 1997).

The previous monthly closure had a negative impact on the EUR/USD pair. However, April's monthly candlestick came as a bullish engulfing candle as depicted on the chart.

This probably hinders further bearish decline for some time. On the other hand, it enhances a bullish corrective movement towards 1.1500 and 1.1600 if a daily closure persists above the level of 1.1250.

In the long term, bearish breakdown of the monthly demand level of 1.0550 should not be excluded as the long-term breakout target is roughly projected towards the level of 0.9450.

1431447001_eurdaily.png

The obvious bearish breakout of the weekly demand level at 1.1100 allowed the market to fall dramatically shortly afterwards.

After such a long bearish rally (which started around the levels of 1.1300), bullish rejection was expressed at 1.0570 (monthly demand level).

The price zone between 1.1050 and 1.1150 failed to neutralize the ongoing bullish momentum.

Moreover, a bullish continuation pattern with an ascending bottom was previously established around the level of 1.0650.

This applied a strong bullish pressure over the prominent supply levels at 1.1150 and 1.1240. Thus, bears failed to pause the ongoing bullish momentum of the EUR/USD pair.

The current daily candlestick closure should be monitored for further price analysis as daily persistence above the price levels of 1.1150 and 1.1250 enhances the bullish side of the market. This exposes the nearest daily supply level at 1.1500 for quick retesting.

On the other hand, the failure to close above 1.1250 indicates further sideway movement without significant bullish momentum.

Technical analysis of USD/JPY for May 12, 2015 Market Analysis Review

USDJPYM30.png

Fundamental outlook:
USD/JPY is expected to trade in a lower range. Liquidity was thin in Asia today as financial markets in Japan were shut for a public holiday. USD/JPY is undermined by weaker USD sentiment (ICE spot dollar index last 95.10 versus 95.44 early Tuesday) after much wider-than-expected US March trade deficit of $51.37 billion (versus forecast $42.5 billion). USD/JPY is also weighed by the flows to haven JPY amid increased risk aversion (VIX fear gauge rose 11.36% to 14.31, S&P 500 closed 1.18% lower at 2,089.46 overnight) on weak trade data from the US, sharp 4.06% decline in the Shanghai Composite Index on Tuesday, and concerns about Greece's standoff with its creditors. But USD sentiment is soothed by an unexpected rise in the US ISM non-manufacturing PMI to 57.8 in April from 56.5 in March (versus forecast for drop to 56.3). USD/JPY losses are also tempered by higher US Treasury yields (10-year at 2.181% versus 2.135% late Monday) and sell-yen orders from Japan importers.

Technical comment:
The daily chart mixed as the MACD bullish, five-day moving average above 15-day moving average and advancing; but stochastics are turning bearish near overbought levels. Bearish outside-day-range pattern was completed on Tuesday.

Trading recommendations:
The pair is trading above its pivot point. It is likely to trade in a wider range as long as it remains above its pivot point. As long as the price holds above its pivot point, long positions are recommended with the first target at 120.25 and the second target at 120.50. In the alternative scenario, if the price moves below its pivot points, short positions are recommended with the first target at 119.40. A break of this target is likely to push the pair further downwards, and one may expect the second target at 119. The pivot point is at 119.80.

Resistance levels:
120.50

Technical analysis of USD/CHF for May 12, 2015 Market Analysis Review

USDCHFM30.png

Fundamental overview:
USD/CHF is expected to consolidate with bearish bias after hitting a near-three-month low of 0.9233 on Tuesday. Undermined by weaker USD sentiment (ICE spot dollar index last 95.10 versus 95.44 early Tuesday) after wider-than-expected US March trade deficit of $51.37 billion (versus forecast $42.5 billion) and franc demand on soft EUR/CHF cross. But USD/CHF losses are tempered by negative Swiss interest rates and the threat of the Swiss National Bank CHF-selling intervention.

Technical comment:
The daily chart is negative-biased as the MACD is bearish, stochastics stays suppressed at oversold levels, 5 and 15-day moving averages are falling.

Trading recommendations:
The pair is trading below its pivot point. It is likely to trade in a lower range as long as it remains below the pivot point. Short positions are recommended with the first target at 0.9190. A break of that target will move the pair further downwards to 0.9135. The pivot point stands at 0.9295. 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, long positions are recommended with the first target at 0.9360 and the second target at 0.9415.

Resistance levels:
0.9360
0.9415
0.9450
Support levels:

Technical analysis of NZD/USD for May 12, 2015 Market Analysis Review

NZDUSDM30.png

Fundamental overview:
NZD/USD is expected to trade in a lower range. It is undermined by the higher-than-expected New Zealand Q1 unemployment rate of 5.8% (versus forecast 5.5%); 3.5% drop in Fonterra's GDT Price Index, 1.8% fall in average price for whole milk powder to $2,386/mt at latest Global Dairy Trade auction, increased risk aversion, and kiwi sales on buoyant AUD/NZD cross. But NZD/USD losses are tempered by weaker USD sentiment and NZD-USD interest differential.

Technical comment:
The daily chart is negative-biased as the MACD and stochastics are bearish, five-day moving average is below 15-day moving average and is declining.

Trading recommendations:
The pair is trading below its pivot point. It is likely to trade in a lower range as long as it remains below the pivot point. Short positions are recommended with the first target at 0.7340. A break of that target will move the pair further downwards to 0.73. The pivot point stands at 0.7415. 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, long positions are recommended with the first target at 0.7460 and the second target at 0.75.

Technical analysis of GBP/JPY for May 12, 2015 Market Analysis Review

GBPJPYM30.png

Fundamental outlook:
GBP/JPY is expected to consolidate with bullish bias. It is supported by the buoyant GBP/USD undertone. Upside, GBP/JPY is limited by the flows to haven yen amid increased risk aversion and sell-euro orders from Japan exporters. But sterling sentiment is dented by the worse-than-expected drop in UK CIPS / Markit construction PMI to 54.2 in April from 57.8 in March (versus forecast 57.5). GBP/JPY is also limited by the uncertainty over the outcome of Thursday's UK general election, increased risk aversion, and sterling sales on buoyant EUR/GBP cross.`

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

Trading recommendations:
The pair is trading above its pivot point. It is likely to trade in a wider range as long as it remains above its pivot point. As long as the price holds above its pivot point, long positions are recommended with the first target at 189.20 and the second target at 189.75. In the alternative scenario, if the price moves below its pivot points, short positions are recommended with the first target at 184.55. A break of this target is likely to push the pair further downwards, and one may expect the second target at 183.80. The pivot point is at 186.

Resistance levels:

189.75

GOLDDaily12.png

GOLDH112.png

Overview:

Since our last analysis, gold has been trading downwards. The price tested the level of $1,178.75 in a high volume. According to the daily time frame, we can observe supply in a volume below average. The short-term trend is neutral. Our Fibonacci retracement 61.8% at the level of $1,181.00 was held successfully again. I am still expecting bullish movement, so my advice is to focus on buying positions. The first resistance level is seen around $1,200.00. According to the 1H time frame, we got selling climax (hidden buying and stoping action). I found corrective downward channel according to 30min time frame and the price broke and re-tested two times that channel, which is a sign of potential bullish movement.

Daily Fibonacci pivot points:

Resistance levels:

R1: 1,188.90

R2: 1,192.00

R3: 1,196.00

Support levels:

S1: 1,179.00

Technical analysis of AUD/USD for May 12, 2015 Market Analysis Review

audusdh1.png

Overview:

  • The NZD/USD pair has broken resistance and turned to support since yesterday. Moreover, the pair has already formed strong support at the level of 0.7934 (50% of Fibonacci retracement levels). So, the market indicates a bullish opportunity at the level of 0.7935 with the first target at 0.7975 and continues towards the level of 0.8014. On the other hand, if the trend is able to break this level and close below 0.7930, it will be a downside momentum rather convincing and the structure of the fall does not look corrective, for that the market will indicate the bearish opportunity at the level of 0.7930. It will be a good sign to sell in this area with a target at 0.7900. But it should be borne in mind the stop loss should never exceed your maximum exposure amounts. Thus, it should set the stop loss above 0.8035 because major resistance had been already placed at 0.8014. So, we expect a new range about 163 pips this week.

Observations:

  • Resistance 3: 0.8097
  • Resistance 2: 0.8042
  • Resistance 1: 0.8014
  • Pivot point: 0.7934
  • Support 1: 0.7900
  • Support 2: 0.7859
  • Support 3: 0.7825
  • It should be noted that if there is no significant news to influence, the market price will be moving from pivot point to resistance 1 or support 1. But if there is, the market price may go straight through resistance 1 or support 1 and reaches resistance 2 or support 2 and even resistance 3 or support 3.

Technical analysis of NZD/USD for May 12, 2015 Market Analysis Review

nzdusdh4.png

Overview:

  • Due to the previous events, the price is still between the levels of 0.7327 and 0.7424. So, it is recommended to be careful when making deals in this area. The AUD/USD pair will probably move between the level of 0.7330 and below resistance at 0.7425; because the resistance has set at the level of 0.7424 and the support is seen at 0.7330. Also, it should be noted that the current price is at 0.7360 now. If the pair fails to close above the level of 0.7425, it will be a good opportunity to sell below 0.7425 with the first target at 0.7380., then it will be a good opportunity to sell below 0.7425 with the first target at 0.7380, then it will be continued bearish towards 0.7327 in order to test the double bottom in the H4 chart. Thus, we expect a range of 95 pips in the coming hours. At the same time, the stop loss should be always taken into account because it should never exceed your maximum exposure amounts. Consequently. The best location to set your stop loss should be placed above the resistance at the level of 0.7540.

#USDX wave analysis for May 12, 2015 Market Analysis Review

The Dollar index is pulling back to back test the breakout level. The downward sloping channel was broken upwards and we can see the back test now. The upward move from the last week's lows could be seen as an impulsive upward wave and we are at the corrective pullback now.

usdx.jpg

5 waves up are followed by 3 waves down and at least 5 more waves up. So, with the Dollar index already at the 50% retracement, I do not expect this pullback to push the price lower than the 61.8% retracement. I expect an upward reversal from the 61.8% or the 50% retracement levels.

usdxd.jpg

The weekly chart and wave count is shown above. Bulls need to hold above the kijun-sen (yellow line) and break resistance of 95.20. The next level of resistance is at 97. Bulls need another higher high this week with a higher low in order for a bullish reversal sequence to start.

Gold technical analysis for May 12, 2015 Market Analysis Review

Gold price has broken below the short-term trend-line support and remains below cloud resistance. The trend remains bearish in all time levels and the trading range is getting tighter every day. This means that we are going to see a new trend soon. I believe that the bearish scenario has more chances of success.

goldh4.jpg

Red line = resistance

Blue line = support

The short-term 4-hour chart shows that the price has broken the blue trend-line support and is back-testing it now. The price remains below the red trend-line resistance and the cloud resistance at $1,190-$1,200. Support is found at $1,180-78.

goldd.jpg

The weekly chart remains bearish in the long term as price remains below the cloud resistance and below the kijun-sen. Support by the tenkan-sen (red line) at $1,180 is important.

Technical analysis of EUR/JPY for May 12, 2015 Market Analysis Review

Technical analysis of USD/CAD for May 12, 2015 Market Analysis Review

General overview for 12/05/2015 07:50 CET

The market is still trading below the golden trend-line resistance and the trading range is getting narrower. So, the breakout is due soon. The main count still shows a potential for one more wave to the downside to be made ( wave (c) blue), but the alternative count indicates the opposite if the market breaks the supply zone between the levels of 1.2186 and 1.2203.

Support/Resistance:

1.1938 - Swing Low

1.1964 - WS1

1.2043 - Intraday Support

1.2073 - Weekly Pivot

1.2161 - Intraday Resistance

1.2189 - 1.2203 - Supply Zone

1.2206 - WR1

Trading recommendations:

As long as the market is below the golden trend-line resistance, the daytraders should consider opening sell orders with SL above the level of 1.2162 and TP at the level of 1.2043 with a possible extension downward. However, any breakout above the golden trend line will produce an opportunity to open a buy trade with tight SL and TP at the level of 1.2203.

Technical analysis of Gold for May 12, 2015 Market Analysis Review

Technical outlook and chart setups:

Gold has been trading broadly between $1,200.00 and $1,180.00 over few trading sessions. Furthermore, it is making a decreasing resistance ($1.200.00, $1,194.00) and constant support ($1,180.00) as a kind of consolidation pattern. A break below $1,180.00 couldcause the test of $1,175.00 before rallying further. It is recommended to remain long for now with risk at the level of $1,165.00. Immediate support is seen at $1,168.00 followed by $1,162.00, $1,142.00, and lower, while resistance is seen at $1,200.00 followed by $1,225.00, $1,235.00/40.00, and higher respectively.

Trading recommendations:

Remain long for now, stop at $1,165.00, a target is open.

Good luck!

Technical analysis of EUR/JPY for May 12, 2015 Market Analysis Review

General overview for 12/05/2015 07:40 CET

As anticipated yesterday, the market went up to test the golden trend line. Now, it is trading at the key intraday level. Any breakout higher would directly expose the intraday resistance at the level of 135.36 and the leading diagonal idea will be invalidated if this level is broken. On the other hand, if the golden trend line provides enough resistance, the price should reverse at the current level, head below the first intraday support at the level of 134.23, and then even lower, down to the level of 133.47. The near-term bias is still bearish and only a sustained breakout above the intraday resistance would be a bias change for this market.

Support/Resistance:

131.47 - WS2

132.73 - WS1

133.09 - Technical Support|Key Level|

133.47 - Intraday Support

134.23 - Intraday Support

134.33 - Weekly Pivot

135.36 - Intraday Resistance

135.56 - WR1

135.97 - Swing High

Trading recommendations:

As long as the market is below the dynamic golden trend-line resistance, the daytraders should consider opening sell orders with SL above the level of 135.00 and TP at the level of 133.09 with a possible extension downward.

Daily analysis of major pairs for May 12, 2015 Market Analysis Review

EUR/USD: This pair has traded sideways over this week. A breakout would happen soon – either to the downside or to the upside. A movement above the resistance line at 1.1250 would mean a bullish breakout and a break below the support line at 1.1050 would mean a bearish breakout.

1.png

USD/CHF: What can be seen in this market is consolidation to the upside. While the bearish bias is still valid, a movement above the resistance level at 0.9400 would mean the end of the bearish bias and the beginning of a bullish bias, which could take the price towards another resistance level at 0.9500.

2.png

GBP/USD: GBP/USD has moved upwards by 200 pips this week. From the accumulation territory at 1.5400, the price rammed into the distribution territory of 1.5600. This bullish sentiment may continue to push the price further upwards, but any failure of the price to stay above the accumulation territories at 1.5500 and 1.5550 could result in a threat to the existing bias.

3.png

USD/JPY: The outlook on this currency trading instrument remains bullish unless the demand level at 119.00 is breached to the downside. Should the USD gain more stamina, the trading instrument could attain the supply level at 120.50.

4.png

EUR/JPY: This week, the event on the EUR/JPY cross would largely be determined by the strength in EUR itself. Should EUR continue to maintain its stamina, the cross would continue its bullish journey, testing the supply zones at 136.00 and 136.50. Any significant weakness in EUR would cause the cross to plummet, testing the demand zones at 133.00 and 132.50.

Technical analysis and trading recommendation for GBP/USD for May 12, 2015 Market Analysis Review

The cable enjoyed another stellar move, managed to breach the resistance at 1.5552, the previous swing high. The cable refreshed a new high of 2015. The conservative party won the election and hawkish inflation report is expected. The Committee's latest inflation and output projections will appear in the Inflation Report to be published at 10.30 a.m. on Wednesday 13 May. These factors boost the sentiment on the British pound. The Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee voted to maintain the interest rate at 0.5% at its meeting on 8 May. The Committee also voted to maintain the stock of purchased assets financed by the issuance of central bank reserves at 375 billion pounds. The minutes of the meeting will be published at 9.30 a.m. on Wednesday 20 May.

Upcoming data: Today, traders eye manufacturing production data on a monthly basis. From July 2014, UK manufacturing data missed expectations except for Nov 2014 and Jan 2015. The April readings met the expectations of 0.4% but remained below the previous 0.6% 2015. We expect figures to remain flat for the March ending, indicating weak manufacturing production in the Q1 2015.

Technical view: The cable halted at 161.8 FE 1.5620, made a high at 1.5613 at yesterday's session. The higher lows and higher highs formation are developing in the four-hour chart. At yesterday's session, we recommended buying above 1.5450 with an intraday target at 1.5550 and positional target at 1.5650. The cable managed to close above 20Wsma after 37 weeks. The 20Wsma is found at 1.5125. The 200Dsma is seen at 1.5650, which is the nearest strong resistance. Support is found at 1.5520 and 1.5500. We recommend intraday fresh buying above 1.5620 with a small target at 1.5640/1.5650. A daily close above 1.5650 will produce another 100 pips on the higher side (like 1.5780). The hourly chart represents a mild negative divergence. The selling pressure is likely to be built up below 1.5498 towards 1.5465, 1.5400, and 1.5360. To strengthen this view, bulls must close above 1.5640. We recommend traders to remain patient for a good dip to buy again; big trades are not available on the higher side at the moment.

Trade: Selling below 1.5495

The aussie has been developing divergence moves against the euro and British pound. The commodity currency, AUD, is trading lower against GBP and higher against Euro. The euro turned weaker, traders eye Greece. The uncertainty between Greece and creditors weigh on the euro. The EUR/AUD moved lower from a high of 1.5337.

Mild support is found between 1.3982 and 1.3967.

Intraday view: The nearest support is found at 1.4085. We recommend selling below 1.4080 with an immediate target at 1.4050, 1.4030, and 1.4000. Close below 1.4030/1.4000, a real panic looms towards 1.3970 and 1.3850/1.3820. Intraday resistance is seen at 1.4145 4hr high and 1.4181 34hrsma.
