EUR/CAD reversed from resistance area

EUR/CAD reversed from resistance area

Next sell target – 1.4000

EUR/CAD recently reversed down sharply from the resistance area lying between the resistance level 1.4260 (which reversed the earlier minor correction 2 with the Dark Cloud Cover in December), the upper daily Bollinger Band and the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the earlier downward impulse from November.  The downward reversal from this resistance area created the daily Japanese candlesticks reversal pattern Evening Star Doji.

 

EUR/CAD is expected to fall further toward the next sell target at the round support level 1.4000 (former top of the earlier minor correction (a) from the start of this month). Strong resistance remains at the aforementioned resistance level 1.4260.

CAD/CHF continues to rise inside the minor impulse wave (iii) – which started earlier- when the pair reversed up from the support zone lying between the support level 0.7500 (which also stopped the previous minor correction 2 in December, as can be seen below), the lower daily Bollinger Band and the 38.2% Fibonacci correction of the previous upward impulse 1 from November.

EUR/USD: wave (iii) is about to start

1/25/2017

 

Image20170125175730001.png

 

4/8 MM Level is acting as a resistance. If we see a pullback from this level, there’ll be an opportunity to have a bearish impulse in wave . At the same time, if 4/8 turns out to be broken, then bulls will be free to move on.

 

Image20170125175730002.png

 

As we can see on the one-hour chart, there’s a possible bullish impulse in wave [c] of 2. Also, we’ve got a small bearish impulse in wave (i). Therefore, there’s a chance to have another bearish impulse in wave (iii) of in the short term.

AUD/USD: bulls are trying to regain control over the market

1/26/2017

 

On the AUD/USD daily chart,  bears failed to keep the quotes below important support located at 0,754 (61.8% of the last descending XC wave). "Bulls" are trying to regain their control over the market. If they manage to update the January high, prices will move higher towards the resistance lines locates at 0.7645 and 0.771. There are 78.6% and 88.6% targets of the "Shark" inverted pattern.

On the AUD/USD hourly chart, having fulfilled the target 88.6% in the "Bat" pattern, bulls started their attack. Breakouts of the resistance lines at 0.7586 and 0.7595 can lead to the restoration of the uptrend.

Recommendation: BUY 0,7595 SL 0,754 TP 0,771.

Gold: bulls showed their weakness

1/26/2017

 

On the daily chart of gold, a double top has been formed. It blocked the path of bulls to the north. To restore the uptrend quotes should rise above the resistance located at $1,205 per ounce, and then update the January highs. If bears manage to break the diagonal support and go out of the descending trading channel, there will be a correction towards $1,174.

 

Screenshot_2017_01_26_08_24_32.png

 

On the hourly chart of gold, a successful test of the lower boundary of the upward trading channel will signal us that bears remain control over the market.

Recommendations:

 

SELL $1195 SL $1204 TP $1175,

 

BUY $1220 SL $1210 TP $1255.

Morning brief for January 26

1/26/2017

 

The yield on 10-year US Treasury notes spiked to 2.50 overnight as risk aversion was ebbed. The US dollar refused to follow its usual pattern: instead of rising from higher Treasury yields, it weakened against its major peers.

 

The euro edged up to 1.0760. Today we will receive some domestic data releases from Spain and Germany. Also, there will be Eurogroup meetings gathering to discuss various financial issues.

 

The pound extended its gains and rose to 1.2655 on the Asian session. The pound trades like a currency that was beaten up so much that it can easily slide down. The heightened inflation rate trimmed the producers’ profit, as raw material prices have risen significantly. It may lead to the slowdown in the real wage growth rate and be reflected in consumption sentiments. Many believe that present bullish momentum in GBP/USD is not long-lasting. Let’s say that at the present moment the pound snatches at a chance striving to rise higher on the relative weakness of the US dollar.

 

The movement of AUD/USD is a bit atavistic. Unlike other currencies, Aussie weakened against the dollar and fell to 0.7570. At the start of the year, the Australian dollar gained mainly on the improvement of the global risk sentiment, bull commodity market. Yesterday, we got Australian CPI report indicating a rather slow growth of inflation rates. Aussie’s recent weakness might allow the Reserve Bank of Australia not to recourse to further easing measures next meeting.

 

USD/CAD continues its downward rally. The currency pair has already slumped to 1.3065. According to Nomura bank projection, USD/CAD is likely to end the first quarter at around 1.2800. Rising oil prices and improved domestic data should support the currency in near term.

 

Brent oil futures topped to $55.52 overnight. Gold continued a selloff and slipped to $1198.45 per ounce.

EUR/USD: flat in the "Triangle"

1/26/2017

 

26-1-2017-EUR-H4.png

 

The price is still consolidating under a resistance at 1.0795, so we’ve got a “Pennant” here. In this case, the pair is likely going to continued trading in a range of this pattern. Meanwhile, bears will probably try to reach the nearest support at 1.0745 – 1.0719, which could be a departure point for another upward price movement.

 

26-1-2017-EUR-H1.png

 

There’s a possible “Triangle” pattern, so the market is likely going to achieve a support at 1.0745 – 1.0728 shortly. If a pullback from this area happens, there’ll be an opportunity to have an upward movement towards a resistance at 1.0795 – 1.0815.

GBP/USD: bulls going higher

1/26/2017

 

26-1-2017-GBP-H4.png

 

The price faced a resistance at 1.2672, so bears are likely going to get a support at 1.2619 in the short term. At the same time, if we have a pullback from this level, there’ll be a chance to have another upward price movement in the direction of the nearest resistance at 1.2703 – 1.2726.

 

26-1-2017-GBP-H1.png

 

The pair is moving up towards the uptrend. Also, we’ve got a resistance at 1.2672, so the price is likely going to decline in the direction of the nearest support at 1.2619. If a pullback from this level happens, bulls will probably try to test a resistance at 1.2672 – 1.2703.

EUR/USD: "Doji" on the Moving Average

1/26/2017

 

2601eurusdH4.png

 

We’ve got a bearish “Harami” and a “High Wave” at the local maximum. Also, the middle of the last huge white candle is acting as a support. In this case, bears are likely going to test the nearest support level and the 34 Moving Average. If we’ve got a pullback from these levels, there’ll be an opportunity to have another bullish price movement.

 

2601eurusdH1.png

 

As we can see on the one-hour chart, there’re an “Engulfing” and a “Doji” at the last low. Therefore, the market is likely going to reach the closest resistance during the day. If we have a pullback from this level, bears will probably try to achieve the next resistance shortly.

USD/JPY: "Window" could act as resistance

1/26/2017

 

2601usdjpyH4.png

 

The upper “Window” acted as a support twice. So, the market is likely going to get a resistance on the 55 & 89 Moving Averages. If a pullback from these lines happens, there’ll be an opportunity to have a decline towards the middle of the last huge white candle, which could be a departure point for another bullish rally.

 

2601usdjpyH1.png

 

There’s a “Harami”, which has been confirmed. The price is approaching the upper “Window”, which could act as a resistance. If so, there’ll be a chance to have a local bearish correction in the short term.

cEUR/USD: wave (iii) is on the way

1/26/2017

 

Image20170126162024001.png

 

We’ve got a couple of pullbacks from 4/8 MM Level, so wave 2 was likely ended. In this case, bears are likely going to deliver a bearish impulse in wave in the short term. The main intraday target is 2/8 MM Level.

 

Image20170126162024001.png

 

+1/8 MM Level acted as a resistance, which has stopped the last bullish impulse in wave [c] of 2. Therefore, there’s an opportunity to have a bearish impulse in wave (iii) of , so we should keep an eye on 5/8 MM Level as a possible short-term goal.

Jesse Livermore - the greatest speculator the world ever knew

1/26/2017

 

Jesse-Livermore.jpg

 

In this article, I am going to tell you about the most enigmatic and talented speculator of our history, the mold for Edwin Lefevre’s “Reminiscences of a Stock operator” – Jesse Livermore.  Truth be told, I am not sure that it’s possible to describe all the twists and turns of his life just in few sentences. But as my dearest chairwoman always tells me: “Try harder”.  So, I try.

 

Livermore led a life of brilliance and excess, surrounded by mistresses, rolled in money in his age of reason. He went through three bankruptcies, death of his child, two divorces and committed suicide in 1940. Wall Streeters were obsessed with him. They begged for his advice; they were buying as Livermore; they were selling as Livermore. You might wonder why. Ok, I won’t keep you in the dark any longer. This person – Jess Livermore – managed to snatch an impressive sum of money in the crash of 1907; later on, he made $100 million going short on Black Tuesday.

 

But you know, life is not just a run of good look; sometimes the fortune turns away from us. Jess Livermore was not always on a roll. There were many times when he lost his money. His unhappy marriage, neurotic, drinking wife and son added stress to his life and killed the desperation to win he had in his youth. As it was said in Lefevre’s book: “A man must believe in himself and his judgment if he expects to make a living at this game”.  We may say, that Livermore lost his faith in himself. His spirits sank and he didn’t feel satisfied with his life. It seems that speculation and gambling were the only two things that kept him alive. Having stopped trading in stock and commodity markets, having lost his relatives, he decided to commit a suicide and shot himself in 1940. He left nothing to his second son, but his legacy to the generations of new traders and speculators is really huge.

 

How to trade in stocks

 

It’s a book in which Livermore described the rationale of his decision-making process. The book is bristle with witty quotations and trading tips that will never lose their value.

Reminiscences of a Stock Operator

 

The most popular book ever written about gambling, speculation that has become a trading and investment classic. It was written by American financial journalist – Edwin Lefevre, and published in 1923. Jesse Livermore was a prototype for the main character of the book – Laurie Livingston.

GBPJPY rising inside corrective wave (2)

1/26/2017

 

GBPJPY rising inside corrective wave (2)

Next buy target – 148.60

GBPJPY has been rising steadily in the last few trading sessions inside the second intermediate corrective wave (2) from the middle of January. Wave (2) started when the pair reversed up from the support area located between the pivotal support level 138.00 (former strong resistance from September), lower daily Bollinger Band and the 50% Fibonacci correction of the previous upward correction form October.

 

Having recently broken the narrow daily down channel from December - EUR/CAD is expected to rise further toward the next buy target at the next resistance level 148.60 (top of the previous long-term ABC correction ② from October).

EUR/USD reversed from resistance zone

1/26/2017

 

EUR/USD reversed from resistance zone

Next sell target - 1.0600

EUR/USD recently reversed down from the resistance zone lying between the resistance level 1.0770 (which stopped the earlier minor ABC correction 4 at the start of December), upper daily Bollinger Band and the 38.2% Fibonacci correction level of the previous sharp downward impulse from November. The downward reversal from this resistance zone stopped the earlier minor C-wave.

 

Give the strength of the resistance level 1.0770 and the fact that that the daily Stochastic is trading in the overbought area - EUR/USD can be expected to correct down further toward the next sell target at the support level 1.0600.

GBP/USD: pound is losing firm ground

1/27/2017

 

On the GBP/USD daily chart, bulls came closer to the 88.6% level of the last descending wave and to the 88.6% target in the "Shark" inverted pattern but failed to stay in the convergence zone for a long period of time. After that, bears managed to test the diagonal support in the form of the lower boundary of the rising trading channel.

 

Screenshot_2017_01_27_08_23_03.png

 

On the GBP/USD hourly chart, quotes are testing the lower boundary of the upward sloping trading channel.If they manage to test the important level at 1.254, there will be a correction towards 1.241, or lower.

EUR/USD: bears came to senses

1/27/2017

 

On the EUR/USD daily chart, a successful test of the diagonal support may lead to the recovery of downtrend. But for this to happen bears will have to overcome significant levels at 1.064 and 1.058.

 

Screenshot_2017_01_27_08_22_34.png

 

On the EUR/USD hourly chart, a breakout of the support at 1.071 allowed traders to open shorts. A successful test of the lower border of the ascending trading channel will allow opening of short positions in the direction of the target 88.6% in the "Shark" pattern.

 

Screenshot_2017_01_27_08_22_49.png

 

Recommendations: hold shorts formed from the level of 1,071, SELL 1,066 SL 1,0715 TP1 1,058 TP2 1,045.

Morning brief for January 27

1/27/2017

 

The yen extended its losses against its major peers as the Bank of Japan stepped in to fulfill its commitment to keep the 10-year yield at around 0%. It boosted the amount of 5-10 year bonds it buys in its outright purchase operations. USD/JPY rose above 115.00 as a result of this.

 

The euro fared worse in a rising US yield environment. EUR/USD went lower to 1.0670 overnight. Today’s focus will be on the US data package which is due at 15:30 MT time.  Many expect the US growth to slow to 2.1% from last quarter GDP print – 3.5%. Durable goods are to improve (market participants are waiting for a strong release).

 

AUD/USD slid down to 0.7530 having failed to pare its Wednesday’s post-CPI losses.

 

GBP/USD missed some points having fallen to 1.2565. Yesterday we got upbeat UK Q4 GDP release; the figures were revised to 0.6% from 0.5%. The UK Government has finally issued its Brexit Bill which says no more than the PM may notify the EU of its intention to leave the union. This was well priced in, so sterling hardly moved.

 

USD/CAD ticked up to 1.3115 on the rising US yields and falling oil prices. Brent oil futures capped its gains on the buildup of the US crude oil inventories.

 

The Mexican Peso slumped against the US dollar after Enrique Pena Nieto canceled a planned meeting with the US President Donald Trump. It was Mexican way to express the dissatisfaction with the recent Trump’s executive order aiming at building the wall on the US-Mexican border.

EUR/USD: bearish "Triple Top"

1/27/2017

 

27-1-2017-EUR-H4.png

 

We’ve got a “Triple Top”, which led to the current correction. So, the price faced a support at 1.0669, which is strengthened by the 34 Moving Average. Meanwhile, the market is likely going to test the next support at 1.0588 – 1.0578 in the short term. If a pullback from this area happens, there’ll be an opportunity to have an upward movement towards a resistance at 1.0697 – 1.0719.

 

27-1-2017-EUR-H1.png

 

The pair faced a support at 1.0669, so the price is consolidating. However, bears are likely going to reach the next support at 1.0594 during the day. If we see a pullback from this level, bulls will probably try to achieve the nearest resistance at 1.0669 – 1.0697.

GBP/USD: bears broke the "Flag"

1/27/2017

 

27-1-2017-GBP-H4.png

 

We’ve got a “V-Top” pattern, so the pair found a support at 1.2548. Nevertheless, the market is likely going to reach another support at 1.2490 – 1.2432 shortly. At the same time, there’s an opportunity to have an upward correction later on.

 

27-1-2017-GBP-H1.png

 

There’s a “Double Top”, which led to an achievement of a support at 1.2548. Also, we’ve got a “Flag” pattern, so bears are likely going to reach the 55 Moving Average. Considering a possible pullback from this line, we should keep an eye on a resistance at 1.2581 – 1.2619 as an intraday target.

USD/CAD outlook for January 30 - February 3

1/27/2017

 

USD/CAD was falling throughout the week on the jitters of Trump’s protectionist executive orders. In the end of the week, the greenback braced up and managed to reverse the downtrend having risen to 1.3110.

 

Next week, the Bank of Canada Governor Poloz is due to deliver his speech. There is a possibility that he will leave the door open for a rate cuts amid the large potential negative shocks to Canada’s economy. This may weigh on the Canadian dollar and allow USD to rise higher. Another headwind for CAD is a looming renegotiation of the NAFTA agreement and introduction of a border adjustment tax offering a tax relief for US manufacturers and creating higher charges for imported products bought within the United States. On Tuesday, traders’ focus will be on the Canadian monthly GDP. But we don’t expect significant gains for CAD from it. The last month GDP figures fell out of market’s expectations. Towards the end of the week, we will be waiting for the US major economic releases (NFP, labor and manufacturing data), that might send greenback higher if the data is strong.

 

Fundamental factors that we’ve just listed make us believe that USD will rise in the short-term. The nearest resistance lines can be found at 1.3160 (near the 100-hour MA), 1.3190 (100-H4 MA and the long-term upward trendline), 1.3290 (near 50-day MA). On the downside, there are several supports located at 1.3050 (January 26 low) and at 1.2985 (near the 23.6% Fibo retracement level from the January last year peak).
