riki143 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 NZD/CAD reached buy target 0.9640 11/2/2016 NZD/CAD reached buy target 0.9640 Next buy target - 0.9800 NZD/CAD continues to rise sharply in the minor impulse wave 3 – which earlier broke through the resistance level 0.9640 (which was set as the buy target in our earlier forecast for this currency pair). The breakout of the resistance level 0.9640 accelerated the active minor impulse 3 – which belongs to the intermediate impulse wave (3) from the middle of October. NZD/CAD is expected to rise further to the next buy target at the resistance level 0.9800 (target price for the completion of the active minor impulse wave 3).

riki143 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 GBP/CAD broke key resistance level 1.6680 11/4/2016 GBP/CAD broke key resistance level 1.6680 Next buy target - 1.7000 GBP/CAD continues to rise – after the earlier breakout of the key resistance level 1.6680 (former support level and the lower boundary of the sideways price range inside which the pair has been trading from June). The breakout of the resistance level 1.6680 coincided with the breakout of the 50% Fibonacci correction level of the previous sharp downward impulse (5) from the middle of September. GBP/CAD is likely to rise further in the accelerated minor impulse wave 3 (of the primary impulse III) toward the next buy target at the round resistance level 1.7000.

riki143 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 USD/JPY: bearish "Harami" 11/4/2016 We’ve got a local bearish “Harami”, which has been confirmed. Considering that we don’t have any reversal pattern so far, bears are likely going to move on until any bullish sign arrives. There’s a “High Wave” pattern at the last low, which has a confirmation. However, we’ve got a “Harami” at the local high, so there’s an opportunity to have an intraday bearish correction. If we see a pullback from the nearest support line, there’ll be an option to see more bullish pressure.

riki143 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 EUR/USD & US NFP October: A bullish USD ahead of US elections? 11/4/2016 Today at 12:30GMT we’ll have the US Non-Farm Payrolls for October, where the market’s consensus is calling for an increase to 175,000 jobs from 156,000 registered in September. This data should provide more clues about the timing that the Fed will hike rates and chances are still higher for December’s meeting. With that being said, it will be interesting the volatility that this number should provide to a weak US Dollar, which had been posting losses in the last few days, ahead of the US presidential elections on next Tuesday. Our technical outlook for EUR/USD at H4 chart is still showing a bullish bias that had been strengthening in the last few days, as the US dollar remains bearish. The pair is consolidating its gains above the 200 SMA and one breakout above the resistance level of 1.1115, if data comes weaker than expected, should open the doors to test the 1.1190, while a breakout below the 1.1068 support area can push lower the pair towards 1.1018.

riki143 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 USD/CHF: bulls are going to attack On the USD/CHF daily chart, the target 0.99 has been fulfilled, the "bears" were stopped by the lower boundary of the upward trading channel and intermediate target 78.6% in the "Shark" pattern. If quotes move above the convergence zone at 0,9763-0,9768, it will be a signal of the end of the CD wave followed by the downward movement of the quotes towards 0.985 and 0.989. On the USD/CHF hourly chart, the formation of the expanding wedge increases the risk of reversal of the downward short-term trend. A break of resistance at 0.9768 followed by the exit of quotes from the "bearish" trading channel could lead to the correction.

riki143 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 EUR/USD: local flat going to be continued 11/4/2016 Bulls faced a resistance at 1.1122, so we’ve got the current consolidation. Therefore, the market is likely going to decline towards the 89 Moving Average. However, we’ve got a “Double Bottom” pattern here, so there’s an opportunity to have a bullish price movement afterwards. The price is consolidating between the nearest support at 1.1122 and the 34 Moving Average. Also, we’ve got a “Flag”, so the pair is likely going to test a resistance at 1.1122 once again. If a pullback from this level happens, bears will probably try to achieve the nearest support at 1.1069 – 1.1057.

"Bulls" were stopped by resistance at $1305. Quotes failed to hold above the convergence zone ($1298-1305) thereby creating prerequisites for the correction towards the short-term uptrend. On the hourly chart of gold, the price rise above $1306 will be a signal of the continuation of their rally. On the contrary, a successful test of the lower boundary of the upward trade channel will strengthen the rollback risks towards $1,275. There is target 88.6% of the "Bat" pattern. Recommendation: BUY $1306 SL $1290 TP $1340 BUY $1275 SL $1260 TP $1310. More: https://fxbazooka.com/analytics/11179 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case, bulls is likely going to try to break this line and climb even higher. The main intraday target is a resistance at 1.2621. We’ve got a local consolidation on the one-hour chart.

The breakout of the resistance level 1.0300 is likely to accelerate the active minor impulse waves (iii) and 3 – both of which belong to the sharp intermediate impulse wave (3) from August. AUD/CAD is likely to rise further toward the next buy target at the next round resistance level 1.0400. Buy stop-loss can be placed below the recently broken price level 1.0300.

riki143 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 USD/JPY: weekly outlook for November 7-11 11/4/2016 USD/JPY fell from 105.2 to 102.4 on the growing concerns over the US election outcome. The greenback got some support from the decent US unemployment report and trade balance on Friday. On Tuesday, the Bank of Japan left its policy settings unchanged as broadly expected by the market. It also pushed back the timing for hitting the inflation target as its current monetary policy measures failed to weaken the yen. The US presidential election scheduled for November 8 will be the key driver of USD/JPY currency pair over the short term. If Donald Trump wins the presidential race, JPY can rise significantly in the near-term, as more traders and investors sail in safe harbors. The nearest support for USD/JPY lies at 102.5 level. Once it’s broken, the pair could slide down further towards 102.00 and 101 levels. If Hillary Clinton wins, the market reaction should be limited. USD/JPY could test 104.00 level and in the case of the breakout move further towards 106.9 mark located against 200-day moving average. On Wednesday, watch for Japan’s current account data. If the report indicates surplus, the yen can edge up in relation to US dollar. On Thursday look through core machinery orders in search for the green shoots of Japan’s economic activity. On Friday, keep an eye on the producer price inflation data. More: https://fxbazooka.com/analytics/11188 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riki143 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 AUD/USD: weekly outlook for November 7-11 11/4/2016 Aussie performed well in the course of this week but failed to break the resistance at 0.7700. On Tuesday, the Reserve Bank of Australia left the cash rate unchanged at 1.5%. The latest PMI surveys from China offered additional support to AUD and signaled that China’s economic growth has steadied. Commodity prices continue to rise giving Aussie a room for a further appreciation. On Friday, the RBA didn’t change its forecasts for inflation and economic growth but sounded dovish promising to introduce more easing if Australian economy needs a boost. Retail sales in September showed a slight increase (by 0.2%) followed by 0.3% rise in August. Next week traders will be all eyes on the US presidential election that will take place on November 8, as there won’t be any significant releases, events that could bring big changes to the chart. Until this day AUD/USD will be trading below 0.7700. Whatever the outcome of the US election, Aussie should hold up better than other currencies given the rise in commodity prices, acceleration of China’s economic growth and accommodative monetary policy of the Reserve Bank of Australia. A Trump win might cause Aussie to rise to 0.7800 (April’s high), as the Fed could disregard the need for the rate hike in December. As dust settles, Aussie’s precipitous surge should be followed by a downfall. A Clinton win could send AUD to 0.7300 and strengthen the greenback. Before 0.7300, there are some other supports located at 0.7600 (50-day MA on the daily timeframe), 0.7490 (200-day MA on the daily timeframe).

riki143 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Crash course on the US voting system 11/4/2016 We’ve decided to fill you in on how the US votes are counted and how they aggregate a final result. Perhaps, this information can help you to form your own opinion of who might win the upcoming US presidential race. Americans don’t vote for their president directly; they vote for the electors who in turn support one of the candidates. Each state has a different number of electors depending on how money people live there. So, at the end of election day (November 8) there is a certain number of electors in each state who tend to support a Democratic or Republican nominee. But this number cannot be simply assigned to a certain candidate because all states abide the principle “the winner takes all”. For example, there are 10 electors assigned for Missouri; 6 of them vote for Democrats, 4 electors vote for Republicans. The winner is a Democratic nominee as he/she got the majority of votes, leaving the Republicans empty-handed. The same procedure happens in each state. There are some states who usually vote for Republican or Democratic nominee; there are also some states where the outcome is less certain. These are so-called swing states. In total, there are 538 electors. The candidate who has more than a half of these electors on his/her side wins the election. Once the electors have been elected, it becomes clear who will be the president. However, the president won’t be officially elected until December 18, 2016, when all the electors of electoral college cast their votes on behalf of their states. Then, the electoral votes are counted by Congress which announces who will reside in the White House for the next 4 years. You can find out how votes are distributed among the nominees; who is taking a lead in each state, according to the recent polls, by looking at the electoral map.

riki143 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 US dollar: outlook for November 7-11 11/4/2016 American political factors will continue to be the main driver of the currency market. Investors and traders are waiting for the outcome of the presidential race. US dollar index (DXY) declined in the past week as opinion polls have tightened and the uncertainty surrounding the election is extremely high. The Federal Reserve, as expected, changed neither its monetary policy, not its statement. The probability of December rate hike is still high, about 70%. Nonfarm payrolls increased by 161K in October, a bit missing the forecast, but still being high enough for the Fed to raise tares this year. In addition, growth of the average hourly earnings accelerated. The US presidential election will take place on Tuesday, November 8. The vote will take place across 6 time zones. The first state projections based on exit polls will appear at 02:00 Metatrader time on Wednesday. The earliest possible time the election will be “called” for either candidate by US TV networks is 06:00 Metatrader time. If Hillary Clinton wins the US presidential election, the greenback will sharply strengthen as the Fed will be expected to proceed with December rate hike. DXY will aim at 100.00. In case of Trump’s victory the index will be vulnerable for a decline to 92.00 as the Fed will probably have to stay on hold for longer.

riki143 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 GBP/USD: outlook for November 7-11 11/4/2016 Fundamental picture for the British pound has improved during the past week. The UK High Court ruled that British parliament – not the government – has the power to trigger Article 50 – a process of exit from the European Union. The UK government is going to appeal the verdict and a final ruling from the Supreme Court will be released in December. All in all, the start of Brexit may be delayed past March 2017. If it’s the parliament that will be in charge of Brexit negotiations, then ‘softer' Brexit becomes more likely as a majority of the members of parliament have a pro-EU stance and voted for remain. For a time being this will provide support to the British pound. Moreover, the Bank of England turned from dovish to the neutral stance. It increased 2017 forecasts for growth and inflation (2.7% CPI from 2.0% and 1.4% GDP from 0.8%). The BOE Governor Carney indicated that there were limits to his tolerance for inflation overshoot and that policy can respond to either direction. Carney also promised to stay in the Bank of England until 2019 improving the market’s sentiment about the sterling. The increase in pound provoked covering of short positions on sterling and allowed the currency to get higher. GBP/USD managed to rise above 5-month downtrend at 1.2325. Support is at this level, at 1.2100 and 1.2000. Hillary Clinton’s victory in the US presidential election will make the currency head down. Resistance lies at 1.2500, 1.2640 and 1.2740. If Trump wins, the pair will test higher levels. The UK economic calendar is quite empty, except for the manufacturing production on Tuesday.

riki143 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 EUR/USD: outlook for November 7-11 11/4/2016 EUR/USD gained in the past week and came to resistance at 1.1120 (August/September lows, 50-day MA). The main bullish driver for the pair was the general weakness of the US dollar. Still, data from the euro area were mostly favorable. Manufacturing expanded in October at the fastest pace since early 2014, consumer prices rose at the fastest pace in more than 2 years, while the unemployment rate remained unchanged at the lowest level in more than 5 years. The European Central Bank (ECB) economic bulletin showed that the region’s economy should continue to expand, albeit at a moderate pace. If Donald Trump wins the US election, the euro may shoot up to 1.1200 with the next target at 1.1365 (August high). If Hillary Clinton wins, the US dollar will strengthen making the pair slide to 1.1000 and likely to 1.0940. Next week pay attention to German factory orders, euro zone’s Sentix investor confidence and retail sales on Monday. There will the Eurogroup meeting on Monday and ECOFIN meetings on Tuesday. The EU will release economic forecasts on Wednesday. French banks will be closed on Friday because of a holiday.

The FBI said on Sunday that criminal charges were withdrawn against Clinton, defusing tensions over the presidential race two days before the U.S. election. Later today there will be Eurogroup meetings. European finance ministers will meet to discuss business. In the euro-zone, Greece is still struggling with its indebtedness. The wider issue of Brexit is also on the table, with the High Court ruling in favor of Parliament which could halt the process. Watch German factory orders at 2:00 am (Metatrader time) to know how well the eurozone’s leading economy performs. USD/JPY was one of the major performers of the session, having jumped to 104.2 from 103.4. GBP/USD dipped to around 1.24600 on the FBI announcement. Later today watch closely housing inflation data (Halifax HPI) which indicates the level of activity in the UK housing market. Aussie is trading sidelines along the 0.7670 level as there was no ground-shaking news from Australia. Keep an eye on the tentative Chinese trade balance which could influence Australian dollar as China is Australia’s largest trading partner. Kiwi edged down from 0.7345 to 0.7300 having touched 0.7360 mark. So, there were little changes for the session Oil prices rose with traders citing buying after the week of precipitous downfalls on the disappointing fundamental news. Brent crude oil futures are trading at about $46.00 per barrel having recovered from Friday’s slump to $45.00. News flow halted after FBI dropped charges against Clinton. We got some data releases from Australia and Japan, minutes of the Bank of Japan September meeting, but they look lusterless on the back of the upcoming US election More: [urlhttps://fxbazooka.com/analytics/11196]https://fxbazooka.com/analytics/11196[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
