riki143 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 EUR/USD: bearish "Flag" pushing market lower 2/20/2016 The price is consolidating under a resistance at 1.0461. Also, there’s a “Flag” pattern, so the market is likely going to decline towards a support at 1.0340 – 1.0300. If a pullback from this area happens, there’ll be an opportunity to have another bullish rally in the direction of the nearest resistance at 1.0419 – 1.0461. The last “Flag” pattern has been broken. Therefore, the price is likely going to continue falling down during the day. In this case, we should keep an eye on the closest support at 1.0340 – 1.0300 as a possible intraday target. However, if we see a pullback from these levels, bulls will probably try to deliver an upward correction.

riki143 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 GBP/USD: "Triple Top" led to decline 12/20/2016 The price is consolidating between a resistance at 1.2498 and a support at 1.2309. Considering the previously formed “Wedge” pattern, the market is likely going to decline towards a support at 1.2358 – 1.2309 in the short term. Meanwhile, if a pullback from this area happens, there’ll be an option to have a bullish correction. We’ve got a “Triple Top”, which has been confirmed. Also, there’s a “Pennant” pattern as well. So, the pair is likely going to test the nearest support at 1.2309. If bears be stopped here, then bulls will have an opportunity to push the price in the direction of the nearest resistance at 1.2384.

riki143 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 EUR/USD: bears going to deliver wave iii of (iii) 12/20/2016 The price has been declining since wave 2 ended like a flat pattern. Therefore, wave [iii] of 3 is likely going to be continued in the short term. The main intraday target is -1/8 MM Level, which could be a departure point for an upward correction. As we can see on the M30 chart, we’ve got a double zigzag in wave (ii). So, there’s an opportunity to have an extension in wave iii. If the price finds a lodgement under 0/8 MM Level, bears will be free to push the market even lower.

The breakout of this support zone accelerated the active minor impulse wave 3, which belongs to the intermediate impulse wave (3) from the start of November. AUD/USD is expected to continue to fall in the direction of the next sell target at the key support level 0.7150 (which stopped the previous intermediate impulse wave (1) in May, as can be seen below).

riki143 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 NZD/USD & NZ GDP Q3 2017: a bottom before the new year eve? 12/21/2016 Today at 21:45 GMT will be released the New Zealand GDP for the third quarter and current consensus call for an unchanged number of 0.9%, while by another hand, it can see a very slightly increase to 3.7% from 3.6% in a yearly-basis. Latest data showed a number that was close to meet the expectations, as the NZ’s economy grew 0.9% and overall figures are a clear proof that the RBNZ won’t cut interest rates soon and we’ll see if data continues to be positive at the end of the year. Our current outlook for NZD/USD at the daily chart is showing a very weak structure which favors to more downside across the board, as the pair is well consolidated below the 200 SMA. Currently, ti’s facing off a strong support around 0.6915, where a breakout lower should expose the 0.6837 level, adding more strength to the overall bias. In the positive scenario, a rebound at the current stage could take the pair to visit the resistance zone of 0.7021 in coming weeks.

riki143 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 EUR/USD: bulls are going to recoup their losses 12/21/2016 On the EUR/USD daily chart, the bears failed to test the support at 1.0387 (113% Fibonacci level formed from XA wave of the "Crab" pattern). If it is tested, the prices move lower towards 1.023, 1.0115 and 0.985 levels. In contrast, if "bears" fail to consolidate below this important level, it will be a signal for a correction. On the EUR/USD hourly chart, there is a formation of the expanding wedge pattern. If quotes go beyond the descending trading channel and break the resistance at 1.0475, the rally will continue towards 1.0550 and 1.0610. Recommendation:BUY 1,0475 SL 1,042 TP1 1,055 TP2 1,061.

If the "bulls" manage to update the December peak, the rally towards the upper boundary of the upward trading channel will continue. If prices drop below the support at 1.3306, it will be a signal for the start of the "bearish" counterattack. On USD/CAD hourly chart, there is a final stage of formation of the 5-0 pattern. If prices return to the 50% Fibo level formed from the CD wave, it will be a signal for opening short positions. Alternatively, a breakout of the resistance located at 1,353 level will allow us to buy the US dollar.

riki143 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Morning brief for December 21 12/21/2016 EUR/USD edged up to 1.0410 from yesterday’s low of 1.0350. But it happened due to the retreat in the dollar and not Eurozone macroeconomic releases/data flows that could support the euro. So, we see more downside going forward. Politics and terrorism will be the key drivers of the pair in the nearest future. Berlin crash in Germany, horrific attack in Switzerland and assassination in Turkey reflect growing populism and hatred in relation to immigrants. There is also another threat that looming on the horizon – Italy’s fragile banking sector. The Italian government has recently asked Parliament a permission to borrow money to bail-out the banks if the latter ones fail to raise sufficient funding. USD/JPY hampered at 118 and retreated to 117.42 overnight. However, in the course of the Asian session, the US dollar managed to regain control over the market and rose to 117.60. It is a very hard time for the yen. Yesterday the Bank of Japan left its monetary stance unchanged with its short-term interest rate target at -0.1%. Also, the board decided to extend its asset-purchasing program and didn’t mention the probability of its tapering. The recent weakening of the yen didn’t spark talk of tapering, the BOJ adopted a wait-and-see attitude to check what happened with the yen after the New Year vacations. AUD/USD managed to rebound from its extremely low levels overnight to 0.7275, but then failed to hold its positions and retreated to 0.7255. Aussie remains to be very vulnerable to commodity prices, subdued growth of Chinese economy and weakening of the renminbi. The Reserve Bank of Australia is in no haste to raise interest rate being unsatisfied with economic releases. NZD/USD is trading along the 0.6925 level. New Zealand dairy prices slumped for the first time in 2 months, the trade deficit shrank but in the lesser extent than it was anticipated. Today we will receive New Zealand GDP update. The consensus forecast indicates a slight decrease in GDP number, so, Kiwi may extend its losses. GBP/USD moved higher to 1.2385 yesterday, then it retreated to 1.2370. The pound is still under pressure on the back of the uncertainty over the Brexit process. 2016 was all about whether the Brexit can happen or not, next year everybody will be focused on the type of the new relationships between the EU and the UK.

In this case, the market is likely going to test a resistance at 1.2418 – 1.2451 in the short term. Considering the previously formed “Wedge”, there’s an opportunity to have another decline afterwards. So, we should keep an eye on the next support at 1.2309 – 1.2270 as a possible intraday target. We’ve got a “V-Bottom”, so the price is rising. So, bulls are likely going to achieve the 55 Moving Average in the short term. If a pullback from this line happens, there’ll be a chance to have a bearish price movement towards a support at 1.2309 – 1.2270.

riki143 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 USD: long-term projections from banks 12/21/2016 BNP Paribas => questions USD growth in the upcoming future BNPP strategists call on traders to be watchful as central banks don’t always act in line with their projections (flashback: the Fed projected triple hike in 2017 at its last meeting). Some hurdles might appear on the greenback’s way to the Mount Olympus. BNPP strategists believe that acceleration of the US dollar’s pace towards the new highs might derail the Fed’s tightening plans. Treasury concerns. Trump administration can raise concerns about the export implications of a stronger USD. So, the “strong dollar policy” might be questioned, and the administration might modify its expansionary plans which have already been well priced in by the market participants. Other central bank response to the Fed’s tightening. The ECB may signal a tapering of its asset purchase programme by the end of 2017, especially if the euro goes down too fast. At the present time, the euro came too close to the banks’ EUR/USD parity target. The same can happen with the BoJ’s zero target for 10-year JGP yields. The Bank of Japan might allow its yields move higher if the yen weakens significantly against USD. TD Bank => bullish outlook TD analysts are bullish on the USD. They list a few fundamental factors that can continue pushing USD higher. “Rising real and nominal rates in the US against the rest of the majors”; Anticipation of the fiscal stimulus in the US; Divergence in business cycles and varying timeframes for closing output gaps. The bank is long USD/CAD expecting it to move towards 1.3650. AUD/USD should go lower, according to TD analysts, and reach the 0.7150 mark. Deutsche Bank => bullish The bank hints at a border USD strength. The DB strategists believe that Donald Trump’s and Paul Ryan’s “border tax adjustment” proposal should underpin the USD growth. The proposal would tax US imports at the corporate income tax rate and exempt income earned from exports from any taxation.

riki143 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 EUR/USD & USD GDP Q3 2017: A sideways range in place 12/22/2016 Today at 13:30 GMT will be released the third quarter’s GDP reading in the United States, which is expected to see an increase to 3.3% from 3.2% for Q3. The data comes in with a better-than-expected reading on last quarter, as business investments increased, which provided a clear vision of how’s performing the national economy and it’s expected that, after recent data, the number comes in positive for Q3. Our technical analysis for EUR/USD at H1 chart is showing that the pair is confined into a sideways structure. Currently, it’s hovering around 50 SMA and it can re-test the resistance zone of 1.0476, where a breakout should open the doors to test the 1.0533 level. However, with the pair plummeting below 1.0397, it can touch the level of 1.0351. More: https://new.fxbazooka.com/analytics/11804 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riki143 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Morning brief for December 22 12/22/2016 “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas”, everywhere we go. That’s what can be said about financial markets these days. Take a look at the Volatility index, it slumped to 10.90 overnight. Most currencies little changed from yesterday. EUR/USD moved higher to 1.0435. Last night the private sector deal to bailout Italy’s Monte dei Paschi de Siena bank failed to materialize. The good thing is that Italy’s Parliament approved a financial bank support package to rescue country’s banking system (canny move from the side of government; everybody becomes generous in the countdown to catholic Christmas eve). Plenty of the US data is coming up later today – quarterly GDP, durable goods orders, initial jobless claims. It definitely doesn’t look like Christmas, more like everyday work. USD/JPY is trading along the 117.57 level. We don’t expect ground-shaking events/news flows from Japan today. So, we see more corrective movements going forward unless US data manages to fuel a snail’s pace of quotes. AUD/USD retreated to 0.7230 from yesterday’s high at 0.7280. Kiwi edged up to 0.6895 having topped to 0.6920 prior the New Zealand’s data flow. Earlier today we got the 3rd quarter GDP from New Zealand. The reading was strong, but a revision to Q2 rained on the parade. USD/CAD remains its bullish momentum. The pair rose above 1.3430 level, and it seems like it is not going to stop there. Today’s focus will be on Canadian CPI, core retail sales and retail sales. Consensus forecasts don’t hold forth a hope for the CAD recovery. Brent oil futures slumped to $54.30 overnight as we got a report showing an increase in the US crude inventories. Libya is going to boost oil production over the upcoming months. So, oil prices will unlikely offer support to the weakening Canadian dollar. More: https://new.fxbazooka.com/analytics/11805 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
