riki143 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 GBP/USD reached buy target 1.4750 6/23/2016 GBP/USD reached buy target 1.4750 Next buy target - 1.5000 GBP/USD continues to rise – following the earlier breakout of the resistance level 1.4750, which is the upper boundary of the strong resistance zone which has been reversing the pair from the start of February and the buy target set in our previous forecast for this currency pair. The breakout of this resistance level 1.4750 is likely to accelerate the active C-wave of the intermediate ABC correction (2) from the start of March. GBP/USD is likely to rise further to the next buy target at the round resistance level 1.5000. Strong support now stands between the recently broken price levels 1.4750 and 1.4650.

riki143 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 EUR/USD: there isn't any reversal candle pattern so far 6/23/2016 We’ve got a “Three Methods” pattern, which did a great work, but there isn’t any reversal pattern so far. Therefore, the last high is likely going to be broken soon. As we can see on the Daily chart, there’s a support by the nearest “Window”. The current candle is white, so bulls are probably going to move on in the short term. The price has reached the upper “Window”, which can act as a resistance. If so, a local downward correction becomes possible. However, we don’t have any bearish pattern here, so bulls are still in the game.

riki143 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 US dollar: outlook for June 27 - July 3 US dollar index rose on the news that Britain voted to leave the European Union. The dynamics of the US currency was mixed: the greenback strengthened against British pound, the euro and commodity currencies, but suffered losses against Japanese yen and gold. Dollar’s gain versus Swiss franc may be explained by currency interventions of Swiss National Bank to weaken the franc. Demand for American currency as a safe haven allowed US dollar index to test 96.70 on Friday. Note, however, that the overall bullish potential for the greenback is limited as the US Federal Reserve will be less likely to raise interest rates in the coming months, because of the uncertainty created by Brexit vote. Data released in America during the past week weren’t very bright and the Fed’s Chairwoman Janet Yellen was very cautious in her testimony to Congress. Next week America will release final GDP for Q1 on Tuesday, core PCE price index and personal spending on Wednesday and ISM manufacturing PMI on Friday. Support for USD index is around 93,15, while resistance is at 98.00. More: https://new.fxbazooka.com/analytics/9370 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riki143 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 EUR/USD: outlook for June 27 - July 3 EUR/USD breached the uptrend support line since November on the news that Britain voted to leave the European Union. Such decision will have negative consequences for the euro area, which has strong economic ties with the UK. The victory of Brexit voters will also increase political risks in Europe. Populist leaders in France and the Netherlands already made calls for their own referendums to leave. The news from Britain may affect the results of Spanish parliamentary election on Sunday, June 26. EUR/USD fell almost to 1.0900, before recovering to 1.1100 (50-week MA). The recovery was possible because of the reassurances of the Bank of England that it will provide enough liquidity for financial market. The ECB’s quantitative easing also helped to calm traders. In addition, the Federal Reserve is now less likely to raise interest rates soon because of Brexit uncertainty, and that will limit the strength of the US dollar. Further resistance is at 1.1200, 1.1350 and 1.1415. On the downside EUR/USD will remain vulnerable for 1.1050 and 1.0900. Britain is expected to make a formal announcement to the EU at a meeting of the European Council on Monday, June 27. Other important releases from the euro area include German retail sales on Monday, German inflation on Wednesday and the euro area’s CPI on Thursday.

riki143 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 GBP/USD: outlook for June 27 - July 3 GBP/USD fell to more than 30-year lows on the results of the UK referendum. 52% British people voted to leave the European Union, while 48% wanted the nation to remain in the EU. Voter participation was over 72%, and the lead of the Brexit supporters was 1.26 million votes. Britain is expected to make a formal announcement to the EU at the European Council meeting on Monday, June 27. British Prime Minister David Cameron will take part in this meeting, but said that he will resign by October. According to Cameron, Britain needs ‘new leadership’ for further negotiations with Europe. The process of Brexit should take 2 years. Leaving the EU could cost Britain access to the EU’s single market, so it will have to seek new trade accords with countries around the world. In the long term the size of negative impact on British economy will depend on whether Britain manages to reach many new partial economic agreements with the EU or not. It seems that the European Union will take a hard stance on dealing with Britain: the EU heads Juncker and Tusk said in the joint statement that Europe expects UK to move on Brexit as soon as possible. In the shorter term British firms will be affected by uncertainty, and that will likely make the UK economic growth falter in the second half of 2016. Traders will fear that the vote results will hit investment to British economy. In addition, one of the main problem now is the split in British society. Scotland and Northern Ireland voted to stay in the EU, and now their authorities announced that there is now an opportunity for these regions to leave the United Kingdom. The market’s fears eased a bit as the Bank of England’s Governor Mark Carney offered to provide more than 250 billion pounds plus “substantial” foreign currency liquidity and it was ready to take additional measures if needed. However, it’s still clear that there’s more uncertainty ahead for the British pound. There will be more volatility in GBP/USD next week as traders and investors try to adjust to the new reality. Support is at 1.3520 and 1.3300. Resistance is at 1.3880 and 1.4150. More: https://new.fxbazooka.com/analytics/9372 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riki143 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 USD/JPY: outlook for June 27 - July 3 USD/JPY fell to 100.00 mark on the news that Britain voted to leave the European Union. Then in the volatile trading the pair recovered to 103.00 on the risk of currency interventions by Japanese monetary authorities. The market’s risk aversion declined a bit after British Prime Minister and the Bank of England’s Governor reassured investors saying that the nation’s economy remains fundamentally strong and that central bank is ready to take required steps. In addition, the biggest central banks in the world, including the Federal Reserve, the Bank of England, the ECB, the SNB and the Bank of Japan have standing swap facilities, an unlimited backstop to exchange currencies in case of market disruption. Yet, potential for the pair’s recovery should be limited. Capital markets will remain in the situation of uncertainty supporting demand for the yen as a safe haven. US dollar won’t have its own strength against the yen as the Fed won’t be in a hurry to raise interest rates after Brexit. Resistance is provided by the 200-week MA at 106.20 and the downtrend resistance line in the 109.00 area. Support is at 100.75 and 100.00. Japan will allow the pair to go below these levels, only if the decline will be very slow. Next week Japan will release retail sales figures on Wednesday, industrial production on Thursday and inflation statistics as well as Tankan manufacturing and services indexes on Friday.

riki143 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 GBP/USD & UK Downgrade: Still more room for bears? 6/28/2016 During yesterday, Fitch and S&P agencies downgrade their respective ratings regarding UK's economy. Fitch cut from “AA+” to “AA”, while S&P put the outlook on “AA” from “AAA”, and the effect was felt in the markets, specially with GBP/USD, which currently is trading on historical lows below the 1.3300 barrier. Also, the uncertainty remains in place, as recently the UK Health Secretary said that a 2nd referendum could happen. Our technical overview is still calling for more downside on the Cable, because it can replicate the cycle that drove the pair during the Brexit referendum's results and Fibonacci expansion is showing a key area of interest: 1.2869 and 1.2567 levels, which are 61.8% and 78.6% respectively. 50 and 200 SMA at H1 chart are also pointing to the downside, but be cautious when trading the GBP/USD nowadays, as the swings are still big.

riki143 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 EUR/USD: "Double Bottom" set up the bullish correction 6/28/2016 We’ve got a consolidation in progress, which brought a local “Double Bottom” pattern. If it confirms, the market is likely going to get a resistance somewhere between the levels 1.1130 -1.1145. However, if a pullback from here happens afterwards, bears will probably try to move on and deliver a new low. As we can see on the one-hour chart, there’s a “Double Bottom”, which led to the current upward movement. So, the pair is likely going to reach a resistance at 1.1132 – 1.1145 during the day. If bulls be stopped here, we should keep an eye on the next support at 1.0939 – 1.0911 as a possible bearish target.

Therefore, the pair is likely going to close the previously formed “Breakaway Gap”. If so, bears will probably try to return into the market afterwards.

riki143 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Which factors influence oil prices? 6/30/2016 Oil prices rose for the fifth month in a row. Brent recovered losses it made on the Brexit referendum and rose above resistance line connecting June highs in the $50.40 area. Bullish factors for oil are: a decline in the US oil inventories (American stockpiles fell by 4.1 million barrels in the most recent week), Venezuela's falling oil production and strong US gasoline demand. Bearish factors for oil include a ceasefire in Nigeria and receding wildfires in Canada, which should increase supply of the commodity. Nigerian production has already recovered by 200K-300K barrels per day since the middle of June. In addition, although the market players feared the looming strike by Norway's oil sector, even if it happens, the output of the North Sea's biggest producer will fall by only 7%. Moreover, the prospect of Brexit should continue adding uncertainty and limit oil price gains. Note that although most economists forecast higher oil prices in the second half of 2016, the biggest risk to this bullish for oil scenario is weak economic data from the US, Europe and China. Resistance is still provided by June 9 high at $52.85. Support is at $50.00, $48.50 and $47.00. in the short term we may see more consolidation of the commodity.

riki143 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Gold: wait for the right moment to buy 6/30/2016 Because of the political and economic uncertainty created by Brexit, analysts started speaking of gold bull market – gold is an all-time safe haven. The uncertainty is unlikely to disappear anytime soon – a factor, which should keep providing the precious metal with support. Other reasons to expect higher gold prices include continuous monetary stimulus by key central banks (the Federal Reserve is no longer expected to raise interest in the coming months) and low government bond yields. XAU/USD spiked to $1358.20 on June 24 exceeding 2015 high before it returned lower to the $1310 area (200-week MA). Next support is at $1270 (100-day MA)/$1257.63 (weekly pivot support). Note, however, that one has to find a right level to enter a long position. Resistance is also provided by $1332 – 38.2% Fibo of the 2012-2015 decline and 50-month MA. There may be more of consolidation before the bulls are able to clear these resistance levels. Don’t be in a hurry and wait for a good entry signal.

riki143 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 USD/JPY before US Manufacturing PMI: Looking for a break lower? 7/1/2016 Today at 14:00 GMT will be released the US ISM Manufacturing PMI and projections are pointing to a possible rise from 51.3 to 51.5. However, there are still fears across the board because of the US slowdown, but manufacturing activity could see some improvement before the end of the semester. It should be noted that a possibility to decline below the 50 line isn't discarded yet. By the way, the stats from recent months are showing bullish patterns. The USD/JPY structure at H1 chart is showing a huge correction from the Brexit's lows towards the 200 SMA, which is very close to the 61.8% Fibonacci level (103.81). A breakout above it, in case that the Manufacturing PMI is well-above the forecasts, then it could rally to the 104.81 level. Another scenario is calling for a possible breakout of bullish trend line, which should be the confirmation for a possible testing of 100.00 key psychological level.

riki143 Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 GBP/USD ahead Construction PMI: Will we see a bearish continuation? 7/4/2016 Today at 08:30 GMT will be published the Construction PMI in the UK and another negative reading for June is expected; a pattern that has been repeated for several months already. For this occasion, according to analysts, the indicator could fall from 51.2 to 50.6, which could add pressure on GBP pairs that can not yet manage to make a strong correction after the strong decline recorded after “Brexit” Referendum. Technical view for GBP/USD at H1 chart is showing a strong demand zone formed around the 1.3150 level (highlighted with a yellow box), and we've been seeing rebounds above it. However, the resistance level of 1.3510 hampers the corrective move, which could be extended towards the 200 SMA on this timeframe. If Construction PMI's reading is below than expected, then it could retest the 1.3150 price territory.
