riki143 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 USD/JPY: "Window" could bring bullish pattern 9/12/2016 There’s a “Harami” at the local high, which has been confirmed enough. Also, there isn’t any reversal pattern so far, which makes possible an achievement of the nearest “Window”. If we see any bullish pattern in this “Window”, there’ll be an opportunity to have a local upward correction. The last “Evening Star” pattern led to the current decline, but it’s likely to see any kind of bullish pattern on the closest “Window”. If so, bulls will likely try to deliver a correction in the direction of the nearest Moving Averages.

riki143 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Stock market: a whiff of trouble or real trade signal 9/12/2016 U.S. stocks on Friday suffered the worst slide since the UK’s unexpected decision to exit the European Union, with the S&P 500 falling 2.45%.Technically, S&P dropped below 50-day MA. The line is currently in the 2164 area and acts as resistance. Support is located at 2100 (psychological level) and 2090 (2016 support line). The popular explanations for the current decline involve uncertainty surrounding the US elections; hawkish comments from several Federal Reserve officials concerning possible hike in interest rates; sluggish economic growth and pessimistic expectations about future cash flows coming from overcautious investors. Does it mean that the aforementioned bearish tendency is long-term and the recession in the US economy is inevitable? I would tend to doubt it. The recent decline may merely indicate that share prices were grossly overvalued: S&P 500 currently trades at 25 times earnings, its highest multiple in seven years, while average P/E ratio over the past 140 years equals 15.6. In other words, stocks have risen too much and diverged from fundamentals. In addition, investors are becoming too pessimistic about the economic growth of the US economy, or they’re trying to somehow shield themselves from possible losses having raised bumps during the financial crisis of 2008. More economic news and more data concerning productive capacity of US companies will be needed to tell whether this market signal is the real thing, or just a false warning. One thing is clear: these wobbles in stock market is a good opportunity for investors to take a hard look at their portfolios and maybe reconsider their investing strategies.

riki143 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 How bond yields influence forex market? 9/12/2016 Let’s talk about so-called “I owe you” documents – bonds. Imagine, an entity (such as governments, municipalities) needs a whaling sum of money in order to cover its growing expenses so it decides to borrow some from commercial banks or even individuals like you. If you lend some money to these unfortunate entities, they will give you a bond in return (it serves as a black spot for them, an ominous reminder of their debt). In a predetermined term, an official entity will have to pay it back with a certain yield. Bond yield can also be referred as an interest paid to the bondholder. There is a negative relation between bonds prices and bond yields. When bond prices rise, bond yields fall and the other way round. Now, you’re probably itching to find out what does this all has to do with the forex market? Arm with patience, we are reaching the point. Bond yields actually is an excellent indicator of the strength of a nation’s stock market, which increases demand of the nation’s currency. The US bond yields reflect on the performance of the US stock market, thereby influencing the demand for the American currency. During market distress periods, people usually tend to shift their assets from their stock investments to more secure ones (commonly known as safe havens) – the US government bonds, for example. This search for safety drives the US bond prices higher and the US dollar appreciates, whereas the bond yields depreciate. A rising yield is known to be a dollar bullish, and a falling yield is a well-known dollar bearish. And here you have it, this relationship between the yield of the bonds, and the general trend of the currency.

riki143 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 EUR/USD & German ZEW Economic Sentiment: Upside momentum for the Euro? 9/13/2016 Today at 09:00 GMT we'll know the German ZEW Economic Sentiment and that data is expected to have major movements in the EUR pairs, as the analysts are expecting an increase from 0.5 to 2.5. Following the Brexit's outcome, ZEW economic sentiment in Germany had a strong fall, but later it went back to the positive area. Last release was below the forecasted and we'll see if there could be any surprises in the number. The technical analysis for EUR/USD at H4 chart is still calling for an upside continuation, still respecting the bullish trend line projected from the August 27th lows. Also, the pair has been finding dynamic support on the 200 SMA. The support zone of 1.1143 can provide rebounds in coming days and if the data comes above the expectations, that level shouldn't be tested and a rally towards the 1.1353 level is a likely scenario.

riki143 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 USD/JPY: bears slowed down at the double bottom 9/13/2016 On the USD/JPY daily chart the double bottom has been formed near the level of 100,35 (it's a Fibonacci ratio of 61,8% of the last upward wave). If the bears in the near future are able to storm this support, the risks of quotes existing from the downward long-term channel will rise. On the hourly chart of USD/JPY the rebound from the level of 50% of CD-wave pattern "Shark" activated the 5-0 pattern. Subsequent breach of the support at 101.3, is usually considered to be a trade signal. Graphical configuration will be canceled if quotes rise above $ 103.66 (78.6%).

riki143 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 NZD/USD: the ground crumbles from QIWI's feet 9/13/2016 On the NZD/USD daily cart there was a rebound from the important level of 0,743 (it is a Fibonacci ratio of 78,6% from the last downward mid-term wave + the upper level of the upward channel). If bulls are not able to overcome this level, it will be evidence of their weakness. The breach of the support at 0.7205 level activates the "Shark" pattern with target at 0.7 (88.6%). On the NZD/USD hourly chart has worked a "head and shoulders" pattern. Retest of the neckline will create prerequisites for the continuation of the peak towards 0.7205 (target at 224% by AB = CD). Near the current diagonal resistance there is an important level of 0,736 (23.6% Fibonacci of the last upward wave). Recommendation: SELL 0,736 TP1 0,7205 TP2 0,7 SL 0,743.

Therefore, the market is likely going to rise towards an area between the levels 1.1270 – 1.1282 in the short term. If we have a pullback from these levels, there’ll be an opportunity to see a decline in the direction of a support at 1.1220 – 1.1196. There’s a consolidation along the Moving Averages on the one-hour chart. If we see a pullback from the nearest support level, the pair is likely going get a resistance at 1.1270 – 1.1282 during the day. At the same time, if bulls be stopped here, there’ll be a chance to have a decline towards a support at 1.1198 – 1.1181.

In this case, bulls are likely going to reach a resistance at 1.3370 – 1.3417 soon. Considering the previously formed “V-Top” pattern, there’s an opportunity to have a decline towards a support at 1.3302 – 1.3277 afterwards. The price found a resistance at 1.3351, so we’ve got a local consolidation. Also, we’ve got a “Flag” pattern, so the market is likely going to reach a resistance at 1.3396 – 1.3423. Nevertheless, if a pullback from this area be on the table, we should keep an eye on the next support at 1.3334 -1 .3318 as a possible bearish target.

The pair is currently trading close to the support level 0.7420 (low of the previous (-wave).

riki143 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Cracking reversal patterns for maximum profit 9/13/2016 One of the greatest advantages of reversal patterns is their ability to quickly alert the trader to the fact that he or she is on the wrong side of the market. Once traders managed to recognize their errors, they take defensive actions in order not to come off a loser. The trickiest part of the technical analysis is to recognize the shapes of these patterns on price charts and to define your price objectives accordingly. That’s why we decided to arm you with knowledge of these patterns. Before a study of the forecasting implications of the reversal patterns, let us define what these reversal patterns are. Reversal patterns are formations which appear on price charts and help you realize that an important reversal in trend is taking place. Next, I suggest to take a look at some preliminary points to a study of the reversal patterns. 1. A major prerequisite for any reversal pattern is the existence of a prior trend. You must admit that market before reversing has actually to have something to reverse. 3. There should be a breach of a continuous trend line. 3. Topping patterns are usually shorter in terms of duration and more volatile than bottoms ones. The trader can usually make more money a lot faster by catching the short side of a bear market than by trading the long side of a bull market. Well, yes, unfortunately, everything in life is a matter of tradeoff between reward and risk. The greater risks are usually compensated by greater rewards and vice versa. Therefore, topping patterns are less risky, but at the same time they are less rewarding. 4. The greater the size of the pattern, the greater the potential for the ensuing price move. 5. Bottoms usually have wider price ranges and take longer to build. Now we are ready to take a next step on our thorny way of cracking reversal patterns. Let's look at first at on of the best known reversal patterns - head and shoulders. It is usually formed at the end of the uptrend. The pattern consists of a head (the second and the highest peak) and 2 shoulders (lower peaks) and a neckline (a horizontal/vertical line which connects the lowest points of the two troughs and represents a support level). The pattern is confirmed when the prices broke below the neckline once they formed a second shoulder. To identify your price objectives, you should take the vertical distance from the head point to the neckline and then project that distance from the point where the neckline is broken. Assume that the top of the head is at 50 and the neckline is at 20, so the vertical distance will be 30. That 30 points should be measured downward from the level at which the neckline is broken. There you’re, your price objective is built. The inverse head-and-shoulders pattern is the exact opposite of the head-and-shoulders. It occurs at the end of a downtrend and indicated bullish reversal. The triple tops and bottoms are slight variation of the major head-and shoulders pattern. The main difference is that the three peaks at this patterns are at the same level. A more common reversal pattern is the double top or bottom. The main characteristics of this pattern are similar to that of the head and shoulders and triple tops/bottom ones expect that only two peaks appear instead of three.

riki143 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 EUR/USD: consolidation going to continue 9/13/2016 There’s a consolidation above the 55 Moving Average. Also, we’ve got a bullish “Harami” at the local low, so the market is likely going to test the nearest resistance once again. If we see a pullback from this level, there’ll be an opportunity to have another decline. As we can see on the Daily chart, here’s a “Shooting Star”, which has been confirmed. Under this circumstances, bears are likely going to reach the 34 Moving Average. We’ve got a strong resistance by the 21 and 55 Moving Averages. Moreover, there’s a “Hammer” at the local low, but its confirmation is a quite weak. Therefore, the pair is likely going to test the nearest support for the second time, which could turn out to rise towards the closest resistance. If we see a pullback from this level, there’ll be an open door for an achievement of the lower “Window”.

riki143 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 USD/JPY: "Three Methods" helped bulls 9/13/2016 There’s an “Engulfing” at the local low, but it hasn’t been confirmed yet. So, the price is likely going to achieve the nearest resistance. If we see a pullback from this line, there’ll be a chance to have another decline. At the same time, the middle of the last huge black candle on the Daily chart acted as a resistance. Therefore, it’s likely to see the second test of this resistance shortly. The last “Three Methods” pattern helped bulls break the nearest “Window”. However, if we see any bearish pattern on the closest Moving Averages, then the price is likely going to test the “Window” once again. Then, if we have a pullback from this level, there’ll be an opportunity to another upward movement in the direction of the upper “Window”.

riki143 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 GBP/USD & UK Claimant Count Change: Can we see a recovering from the Pound after the data? 9/14/2016 Today at 08:30 GMT we'll have some macro data from the United Kingdom, but the markets' focus will be on the UK Claimant Count Change, which gauges the change in the number of people that requests unemployment benefits on the country and for this release, analysts are expecting an increase from -8.6K to 1.8K. This number could have a soft impact in the GBP pairs, but we'll see how the data will work ahead of the BoE's meeting. At our technical analysis for GBP/USD, the H4 chart is showing a very active downside pressure across the board and the pair is testing the 200 SMA dynamic support (1.3170). If the Cable manages to break it, that should open the doors to test the 1.3067 level; a likely scenario if the UK Claimant Count Change comes above the expectations. However, if the number is well below the expectations, then a breakout above the 1.3353 resistance zone could happen.

A break of resistance at 1.3306 lever will increase the risks to reach the target of 161.8% of the Crab pattern (1.36). The nearest important support can be found near the 1.2977 level.
