NZD/USD intraday technical levels and trading recommendations for December 24, 2015 Market Analysis Review

The daily chart shows a bullish Flag pattern that was initiated around the level of 0.6230 on September 23.

On November 30, a bullish engulfing candlestick was expressed around 0.6520 where the depicted uptrend came to meet the NZD/USD pair.

Shortly after, a bullish breakout above 0.6600 (the upper limit of the flag pattern) took place. This enhanced the bullish side of the market towards 0.6800 initially.

A temporary bearish rejection was expected around 0.6750 and 0.6840 (daily resistance levels) in the daily chart. Actually, an earlier bearish rejection was expressed two weeks ago on Friday.

On the other hand, an estimated projection target for this flag pattern will remain at 0.6950 only if the NZD/USD pair manages to keep trading above 0.6750 and 0.6840.

Two weeks ago, an obvious bullish breakout above 0.6600 was executed via a full-body bullish candlestick on the H4 chart.

Shortly after, the NZD/CAD pair faced resistance between 0.6700 and 0.6750 providing evident bearish rejection.

For the NZD/USD conservative traders, a valid buy entry was suggested around 0.6600 (corresponding to the depicted uptrend and the upper limit of the broken consolidation range).

The level of 0.6840 remains a significant resistance level to offer a valid Intraday sell entry.

Shortly after, a previous bearish fixation below 0.6750 opened the way towards 1.6700 where the depicted uptrend line came to meet the NZD/USD pair.

A valid buy entry was suggested around the level of 0.6700 (the depicted uptrend line as well as a recent support level). It's already running in profits now.

Earlier this week, lack of strong bullish pressure was manifested above 0.6800. That's why, a bearish pullback took place towards 0.6750 where another buy entry can be offered.

S/L should be located below 0.6700. Initial T/P level remains located at 0.6840.

USD/CAD intraday technical levels and trading recommendations for December 24, 2015 Market Analysis Review

Overview:

A bullish breakout above the previous consolidation zone between 1.2400 and 1.2800 was executed on July 15th (shown on the weekly chart). A long-term bullish target was projected towards the level of 1.3270.

A significant bearish rejection was observed around 1.3450. Since then, another consolidation range was established between 1.2800 and 1.3400.

Few weeks ago, a bearish breakout below the support level of 1.3075 was needed to allow a further bearish decline towards 1.2900. However, an evident bullish rejection was expressed around this level.

A bullish breakout above 1.3400 (the upper limit of the recent consolidation range) was performed on December 7th.

Daily fixation above 1.3400 enhances the bullish side of the market.

A bullish visit towards the next resistance level of 1.4100 (Fibonacci Expansion 100%) should be expected.

A significant bearish rejection and valid sell entry should be expected around this price level.

On the other hand, the price zone around 1.3370-1.3400 remains a significant support zone to be watched for valid buy entries if a bullish pullback occurs soon.

Trading recommendations:

A counter-trend sell position can be offered around 1.4100 (Fibonacci Expansion 100%) for risky traders if enough bearish rejection is expressed at retesting.

On the other hand, conservative traders should wait for the USD/CAD pair to retrace towards the zone of 1.3380-1.3400 looking for a low-risk buy entry. S/L should be placed below 1.3300.

The Iinitial T/P levels should be placed at 1.3500 and 1.3600. The long-term bullish target is projected towards 1.4100.

Intraday technical levels and trading recommendations for GBP/USD for December 24, 2015 Market Analysis Review

A few months ago, the market was pushed above the weekly key zone around 1.5550 in an attempt to reach the area of 1.5900, which was providing the GBP/USD pair with a significant resistance.

The recent weekly candlesticks came as bearish engulfing candles, closing below the level of 1.5220 (the neckline of the Head and Shoulders pattern). This supported the bearish side of the market in a long-term perspective.

A long-term bearish target is projected towards the level of 1.4800 for this reversal pattern.

The previous demand level of 1.5200 (the origin of a previous bullish engulfing weekly candlestick) was broken to the downside a month ago. This bearish tendency was confirmed by the Shooting Star and the bearish engulfing weekly candlesticks of the previous weeks.

Hence, a quick bearish decline towards the weekly demand level of 1.4950 was expected as a result of the bearish breakdown below 1.5200.

Note that the previous weekly closure below 1.4950 opened the way towards 1.4800 (a long-term bearish target).

On the other hand, a bullish closure again above 1.4950 brings another bullish pullback towards 1.5350 especially after the obvious bullish rejection was expressed near 1.4800.

Recently, the key level of 1.5200 was temporarily breached to the upside before a daily bearish engulfing candlestick was expressed around 1.5330 on November 20th.

Bearish persistence below 1.5200 and then below 1.5050 (previous weekly bottom) enhanced a further bearish decline towards the weekly demand level of 1.4950 (corresponding to the lower limit of the depicted channel).

A bullish engulfing daily candlestick was expressed around 1.4950 earlier this month on December 3rd.

A bullish pullback towards 1.5200-1.5230 was expressed as the GBP/USD pair managed to hold above 1.5000 and 1.5100.

Last week, a significant bearish rejection was expressed around 1.5230. Many bearish engulfing daily candlesticks had been already expressed. The level of 1.4950 is the key level to be watched for new sell entries if bullish pullback occurs.

As suggested in the previous article, the price zone of 1.4800-1.4830 (the lower limit of the depicted channel) can offer a valid buy entry. The expected bullish target (1.4950) is being approached today.

Trading Recommendation:

Risky traders can sell the GBP/USD pair at retesting of the broken demand level at 1.4950. S/L should be set as a daily closure above 1.4960.

The initial bearish target would be located at 1.4850 where the lower limit of the depicted channel is located.

Intraday technical levels and trading recommendations for EUR/USD for December 24, 2015 Market Analysis Review

Previously, the EUR/USD pair moved 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 bears pushed the price slightly below the monthly demand level of 1.0550 (established in January 1997). Bullish recovery was observed shortly after.

April's candlestick came as bullish engulfing one. However, next monthly candlesticks (August, September, October, and November) reflected strong bearish rejection, which existed around the level of 1.1450.

Hence, a long-term projected target is still seen at 0.9450 if a bearish breakout below the monthly demand level of 1.0555 occurs before the end of the current month (December).

On August 24th, the market looked overbought as bulls were pushing the pair further above the level of 1.1500 (daily supply level).

Shortly after, the intraday supply zone of 1.1360-1.1400 provided significant bearish pressure. An intraday sell entry was suggested. All T/P levels located at 1.1150 and 1.1050 were already reached.

A bearish breakout of the depicted uptrend was performed on October 23rd. This enhanced a long-term bearish scenario with targets projected at 1.0800 and 1.0600.

Three weeks ago, daily persistence below the level of 1.0700 (key level) ensured enough bearish momentum towards 1.0550 (prominent monthly low) where the current bullish pullback was initiated.

This week, the level of 1.1000 constitutes a significant supply level to offer a valid sell entry.The Head and Shoulders reversal pattern is being established around the depicted supply level.

S/L should be located above 1.1050. Initial T/P levels should be located at 1.0900 and 1.0810.

An obvious bearish closure below 1.0820 (the neckline of the depicted reversal pattern) is needed to allow a further bearish decline towards 1.0730 and 1.0550 again.

Daily analysis of GBP/JPY for December 24, 2015 Market Analysis Review

Overview

The breach of 180.36 suggests the whole decline from 195.86 is resuming. An intraday bias is staying on the downside for the next 174.86 key support level. A break there will indicate a larger trend reversal. On the upside, above 182.12 minor resistance will turn into neutral bias and bring consolidations first. Besides, GBP/JPY was close to the key cluster resistance of 61.8% retracement of 251.09 to 116.83 at 199.80, which is close to the 200 psychological level. Break of 174.86 will confirm a trend reversal and bring a deeper fall to 38.2% retracement of 116.83 to 195.86 at 165.67. In case of another rise, we'll be cautious about strong resistance from 199.80/200.00 to bring reversal finally.

Daily Pivots: (S1) 179.83; (P) 180.52; (R1) 181.10;

EUR/NZD : analysis for December 24, 2015 Market Analysis Review

Overview:

Recently, EUR/NZD has been moving sideways around the price of 1.6070. We can observe low volatily due to bank holidays.In the daily time frame, I found a weak supply bar. In the H4 time frame, I found a strong head-and-shoulders confirmed formation (a broken neckline). The price again broke the 200 SMA. Be careful when buying EUR/NZD at this stage since lower prices are expected. I have placed Fibonacci expansion to find potential support levels. I got Fibonacci expansion 61.8% at the level of 1.6070 (broken), Fibonacci expansion 100% is at the level of 1.5840, and Fibonacci expansion 161.8% is seen at the level of 1.5470.

R2: 1.6155

R3: 1.6210

Support levels:

S1: 1.6010

S2: 1.5980

S3: 1.5925

Trading recommendations : Buying EUR/NZD looks very risky at this stage since the price confirmed a head-and-shoulders formation. Watch for potential selling opportunities.

Global macro overview for 24/12/2015 Market Analysis Review

Global macro overview for 24/12/2015:

A set of worse than expected data from Canada was released yesterday and they all missed expectations. The retail sales were at the level of 0.1% vs. 0.4%, but were still better than -0.4% a month ago. The core retail sales were at the level of 0% vs. 0.4% expected and still better than -0.4% a month ago. At last, the GDP for October showed 0% growth vs. 0.2% expected, but still better than -0,5% a month ago. All data are pointing out a slight increase in sales and GDP, but the figures still do not meet the market expectations making the economic growth sluggish and slow. The outlook for Canada does not look brighter either as the majority of fundamental analysts foresee another big wave of sell of in crude oil prices. This is a very important forecast to a commodity currency like the Canadian dollar. It might push the USD/CAD pair even higher next year.

Currently, the daily technical picture of the USD/CAD pair is still in favor of bulls as the pair is trading above the upper channel boundary, consolidating just under the important resistance at the level of 1.4000.

Global macro overview for 24/12/2015 Market Analysis Review

Global macro overview for 24/12/2015:

According to the data released last night, the New Zealand trade deficit shrank more than expected in November (-779M vs. -812M expected). The exports (4.08 vs. 3.90 expected) were driven by a 23% advance in meat and edible offal exports. Imports ( 4.85 vs. 4.76 expected) were also stronger, driven by a 42% increase in capital goods and a 19% surge in consumer goods. Goods shipped for China surged 17% on year in November, led by a 25% surge in milk powder, whereas exports to Australia dropped 4.1%. The deterioration in export income comes due to continuous weakness in global dairy prices as they have plummeted over 50% since 2015 peak.

The NZD/USD pair is trading inside the rising channel, just shy of important technical resistance at the level of 0.6837.
