riki143 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 GBP/USD: pound found a "firm" shoulder 11/29/2016 On the GBP/USD daily chart, quotes come closer to the lower boundary of the upward trading channel. A successful test of the diagonal support will open the way for "bears" towards 1,215. There is 88.6% target in the "Shark" pattern. The rebound from this support will allow the "bulls" to develop a consolidation in the range of 1.238-1.254. On the GBP/USD hourly chart, the second should of the "Head and shoulders" was formed. A breakout of the support at 1.2365 (23.6% Fibonacci retracement level formed from the last mid-term "bearish" wave) and breach of the neckline near the 1.23 mark can drag quotes down. Recommendations: SELL 1,2365 SL 1,242 TP 1,215, SELL 1,23 SL 1,2355 TP 1,215. More: https://fxbazooka.com/analytics/11493 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riki143 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 NZD/USD: kiwi tamed Shark 11/29/2016 On the NZD/USD daily chart, the 'bulls' are going to retest the neckline of the "Head and shoulders" pattern. If they fail to do so, it will be a signal for the opening of short positions. In this scenario, the quotes may return to the lower boundary of the upward trading channel. On the NZD/USD hourly chart, senior 5-0 and the expanding wedge patterns are still relevant, as well as the "Shark" minor inverted pattern. You may open short positions from current levels (23.6% Fibonacci retracement levels formed from the wave 4-5). The opening of shorts in case of realization of 88.6% target is also relevant. Recommendations: SELL 0,707 SL 0,7125 TP1 0,697 TP2 0,68, SELL 0,7135 SL 0,719 TP1 0,697 TP2 0,68.

riki143 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 EUR/USD: bearish "Flag" 11/29/2016 The price faced a resistance on the 34 Moving Average, so we've got a "V-Top" pattern. Therefore, the price is likely going to decline towards a support at 1.0517 in the short term. If we see a pullback from this level, bulls will probably try to achieve the next resistance at 1.0617 - 1.0659. There’s a consolidation, which is taking place along the Moving Averages. Also, we’ve got a “Flag” pattern. If it confirms, the price is likely going to reach a support at 1.0550 – 1.0537. At the same time, if a pullback from this area happens, there’ll be an opportunity to have another upward movement.

So, the market is likely going to decline towards a support at 1.2379 – 1.2352 in the short term. If we have a pullback from these levels, bulls will probably try to reach the nearest resistance at 1.2476 – 1.2511. There’s a “Pennant” pattern on the one-hour chart. In this case, the pair is likely going to achieve a support at 1.2379 – 1.2359 during the day.

riki143 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 In the countdown to the OPEC meeting 11/29/2016 The OPEC members will meet in Vienna on Wednesday to decide on the details of the output cut deal that was agreed in Algiers two months ago. The cartel is trying to reach an agreement to curb its supply for the first time since the financial crisis and put an end to a two-year downturn in crude oil prices. But reaching this agreement has proved problematic with Iran and Iraq still back-pedaling. Iran, which until last year was stifled with western sanctions, thinks that it deserves to be exempt from any production deal as much as Nigeria and Libya. According to Iranian Oil Minister Bijan Zanganeh, reviving the country’s oil output was "the national will and demand of the Iranian people." Iranian leaders argue that only the countries which ramped up production should bear the burden of the deal (hinting at Saudi Arabia and its Gulf allies). For obvious reasons, Saudi Arabia is not ready for such sacrifices. Brent crude oil futures fell to $48.60 earlier this morning on the jitters that OPEC producers will fail to hammer out an output cut. With just one day left before the meeting, there are still disagreements among the cartel’s members. Yesterday OPEC experts ended their talks without agreeing on concrete details of a planned reduction in oil output by individual countries. According to an OPEC delegate, Iraq and Iran continued to express objections over how to distribute output reductions. Countries fought to the very last barrel. Iran suggested cutting its production at 3.975 million barrels a day, or about 200,000 barrels a day above its current output. Saudi Arabia countered with a proposal for Iran to cap output at 3.707 million barrels a day. Meanwhile, Russian senior official claimed that they are not ready to reduce the oil supply suggesting only a freeze of production at current levels. That adds more difficulties for the negotiators to reach a deal. At the present moment, Brent oil futures are trading around $48.65. Without an OPEC agreement, the International Energy Agency predicts that the oil market will be oversupplied in 2017, which could cause prices to fall significantly. But Saudi Arabia’s Al-Falih is still optimistic in relation to oil prices even without an OPEC cut at this meeting mainly counting on the increase in oil demand next year. The time used in the programme is the Vienna time (GMT+1); to get the Metatrader time you should add 1 hour (Metatrader time is GMT+2).

riki143 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 USD/TRY short-term and near-term outlook 11/29/2016 After the US general election, the Turkish lira slumped more than any other emerging market currencies as Donald Trump’s win stoked inflation expectations pushing US yields higher and diminishing the appeal of riskier assets. On November 24, the Central Bank of Turkey raised its benchmark to 8% in order to counteract the heightened inflation rates in the future. Future monetary policy decisions will be conditional on the inflation outlook (watch for the inflation update on December 5). In the short term, pay attention to the balance of trade data that is due on Wednesday (at 9 am MT time). The consensus forecast indicates the increased divergence between the exports and imports which is not good for the currency. On Thursday, watch for the update of the Turkish manufacturing PMI (there should be a small improvement from the last month data). The main focus, however, will be on the US macroeconomic data that is expected to be rather strong. This can cause the greenback to appreciate further in relation to TRY. In the longer term, there are some political events that can weigh on the TRY growth. If the ruling AKP manages to take a new constitution to a public referendum. This constitution may broaden President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s powers and transform the present parliamentary system into presidential one. USD/TRY dropped to 3.4052 yesterday as the yields on 10-year US Treasuries have finally slipped down from their high. Today the US dollar partially recouped its losses. It may get an additional boost and rise towards the nearest resistances located at 3.4767 and 3.4418 if the US GDP and consumer confidence readings are strong. If this data falls out of the market’s expectation, the pair may slide down towards the nearest supports located at 3.4000, at 3.3430 (the upper border of Ichimoku cloud on the daily timeframe).

So, the price is likely going to test the 21 Moving Average once again. As we can see on the Daily chart, there’s a “High Wave” at the local high, so bears will probably try to reach the nearest support line in the short term. There’s an “Engulfing” at the last high. Considering a confirmation of this pattern, the market is likely going to test the closest support. If a pullback from this line happens, there’ll be an opportunity to have a local upward movement.

However, there’re a support by the 21 Moving Average and a resistance by the nearest “Window”. So, the price is likely going to go through the “Window” and test the closest resistance. As we can see on the Daily chart, we’ve got a “High Wave” and a “Harami”, so bulls will probably try to test the last high once again. There’re an “Evening Star” and a “High Wave”.

riki143 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 How to trade with Ichimoku Kinko Hyo indicator 11/29/2016 Today we will learn how to use the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo indicator. It was created in the late 1930s by the prominent Japanese journalist Goichi Hosoda and used to be known as Ichimoku Sanjin which can be translated as “what a man in the mountain sees.” By looking at the present components of the Ichimoku indicator we may conclude that this man saw quite a lot of things – baroque lines, quilted clouds, spans. So, our task for today is to peer into these elements and learn to recognize their signals. Kijun-sen Kijun-Sen is a major component of the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo indicator. This is a confirmation line (a support/resistance line) that can help to identify the future price movement. If quotes are located below the line (usually it is painted in blue color), they may move downwards. Conversely, if prices are above the Kijun-sen, they may continue to rise. Tenkan-sen (usually it’s red) It is a signal line that can be used as a minor support/resistance. If the line moves up or down, it indicates that the market is trending. If it’s flat, the market is ranging; prices are moving sidelines. Chikou span (green line) Sometimes it’s called as the lagging span. It is used as a support/resistance. If the line crosses the price in the down-up direction – it’s a buy signal. If the green line crosses the price from the top -down, you may consider as a sell signal. Kumo – the Ichimoku cloud It is the space between Senkou span A and Senkou span B. It is usually used for the identification of the current and potential support/resistance points. The cloud can gain in weight or get thin. Thinner clouds offer weak support and resistance, the quotes can easily break through such “kumos.” Also, you may use the clouds for identification of the uptrend or downtrend, potential reversals. Generally, markets are “bullish” if Senkou span A is higher than Senkou span B. the reverse position of the spans tells us that the market is “bearish”. Traders are looking for the kumo’s swings to identify the reversals of the trend. More: https://fxbazooka.com/analytics/11509 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riki143 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 USD/JPY reversed from pivotal support level 111.40 11/29/2016 USD/JPY reversed from pivotal support level 111.40 Next buy target – 114.00 USD/JPY recently reversed up strongly from the pivotal support level 111.40 (acting as support now after it was broken by the breakout impulse wave (iii). The support level 111.40 is the former strong resistance level which reversed the earlier corrective waves 4 and (4), as can be seen from the daily USD/JPY chart below). The upward reversal from the support level 111.40 continues the active minor impulse wave 3. USD/JPY is likely to rise further toward the next buy target at the resistance level 114.00 (which stopped the previous minor impulse wave (iii) with the daily Evening Star). Buy stop-loss can be placed below the support level 111.40. More: https://fxbazooka.com/analytics/11510 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The price earlier corrected down shortly to the price level 79.00 (acting as support now after it was broken) – after which the pair reversed up sharply – continuing the active minor impulse wave C, which belongs to the intermediate ABC correction (2) from June. NZD/JPY is expected to rise further in the active waves C and (2) in the direction of the next buy target at the resistance level 91.00 (target price calculated for the completion of the active C-wave).

A breakout of the resistance at 1,357 will create prerequisites for the continuation of the rally towards 1.368. There is 224% target in the AB = CD pattern.

riki143 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Morning brief for November 30, 2016 11/30/2016 EUR/USD slid down to 1.0623 on the Asian session. There are two main factors that help USD to crowd the top – speculation that the US newly elected President Donald Trump will pursue inflationary spending and tax policies and anticipation of the Fed’s hike in December (odds hit 100% in the futures market). European inflation data, German retail sales and unemployment change, ADP non-farm payrolls, US personal spending, core PCE, Chicago PMI, pending home sales are on the dock today. As you see this day is rather busy for both – the Eurozone and the US. USD/JPY dropped towards 112 in the first hours of the session. Preliminary industrial production data for the last month was disappointing although it didn’t bring significant moves to the chart. Then, the US dollar got a new lease of life and jumped to 112.94. The yen didn’t pay much heed to the upbeat economic release on housing starts and continued to weaken in the cross with USD. AUD/USD fell to 0.7460 on the session after we got a huge miss in the building approvals data.There might be more downside movements in the course of the European session, especially if we get strong US economic releases. Kiwi was a better performer than Aussie due to some upbringing comments from the RBNZ governor Graeme Wheeler (the economy doesn’t need additional fiscal stimulus at the present moment, the recent quakes shook the ground, but not the NZ economic performance, GDP is steady). Cable took a few baby steps backward to 1.2465. Today’s focus will be on the bank stress results and BOE financial stability report that could bring some significant moves to the GBP/USD chart. USD/CAD moved higher in the course of the latest session. Later today we will get Canada’s monthly GDP, raw material price index and product price index. The main trigger, however, is the OPEC meetings which will be pressuring CAD and other currencies throughout the day. OIL Brent crude oil futures moved up to $47.71 in the early hours of the Asian session. Then, there was a retracement towards $47.63. OPEC's oil production cut meeting begins at 11 am (MT time) in Vienna today. Where we are ahead of the meeting: OPEC made a preliminary agreement in Algier in September to cut oil production at around 32.5-33 million bpd. Current output is around 33.64 million bpd. OPEC may exempt Iran, Libya, Nigeria from cuts. Saudi Arabia promised to cut its output by 0.5 million bpd, but it presses Iran to curb production at around 3.8 million bpd. Iran wants to go as high as 4.2 million bpd. Iraq also wants higher production limits. More: https://fxbazooka.com/analytics/11514 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riki143 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 USD/JPY: "Inverted Hammer" pushing price higher 11/30/2016 The 21 Moving Average acted as a support, so the price found a lodgement above the nearest “Window”. Therefore, the market is likely going to test the closest resistance once again. As we can see on the Daily chart, today’s candle is white, so bulls will probably try to test the last high. We’ve got an “Inverted Hammer”, which has been confirmed. Also, there’s a “Three Methods”, so bulls are likely going to reach the nearest resistance area in the short term.

riki143 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 The Elliott Wave principle 11/30/2016 Perhaps every trader heard the name of Ralph Nelson Elliott, the creator of the Elliott wave trading principle. He was a professional accountant, although I jokingly call him a “financial markets’ personal psychiatrist.” You might ask why? Because his trading theory forecasts market trends by identifying extremes in investor psychology (troughs and lows in prices –market’s outbursts and its tranquil contentment). The Elliott Wave principle states that collective investor psychology moves between optimism and pessimism. These changes of mood create patterns that can be traced in the price movements of markets. According to Elliott, a complete “bullish” market cycle consists of a 5-wave advance and a 3-wave retracement. Waves 1,3 and 5 are impulses, waves 2 and 4 – rollbacks from the peaks in the uptrend. Corrective waves (2,4) can be divided into 3 smaller waves, whereas the impulses – into 5 waves. Motive waves (impulses) always move in the same direction as the trend of one larger degree. Wave 2 retraces from the first wave peak, but never more than 100% of the length of the first wave. The same can be said about the 4th retracement wave (it never retraces more than 100% of wave 3). The third wave is always the longest and the most powerful in the market-movement cycle. As we already know the 4th wave is corrective; it can meander sideways for an extended period of time. It usually retraces less than 38.2% from the swing of the wave 3 (we can measure it with Fibo extension tool). It is a perfect place to buy (as it can be referred as a pullback from the peak of the third wave). Wave 5 is a final leg in the dominant uptrend. Its volume is lower than in wave 3. At this moment, many indicators can lag and give us false signals (the prices may reach a new high, but the indicators may not follow them). This article will be the first in our tutorial on the Elliott Wave principle. In the subsequent articles, we will learn more about this trading theory and discover how to recognize the Elliott waves on the technical chart correctly.
