Is the US stocks rally just getting started?
2/13/2017

775473176_preview_MakeAmericaGreatAgain.

The US stocks hit record highs as investors assessed Trump’s pledge to overhaul business taxes in the upcoming weeks. The S&P 500 Index rose to a record 2,316.10, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average moved through 20, 270 having added 96.97 points. The Nasdaq Composite Index set new highs at 5,735 having added 0.33% on Friday. The investors are being exultant over reignition of stocks’ post-election rally which had stalled in recent weeks on concerns over Donald Trump’s protectionist executive orders and fuzzy perspectives for the tax reforms. Now, as hopes for massive cut tax and deregulation policies have been rekindled, the shares soar to their record highs blessing Mr. Trump for his pro-business policy agenda.

Many stock market analysts believe that Trump factor will favor the recent shares’ rally for a quite extended period of time. Trump is not a Republican neither he is a Democrat; he is a businessman who will not tolerate the US stock market dips and will try his best to heighten employment rates in the United States. So, his presidency might become the greatest boost for the stock market.

Some investors, however, voice their concerns over the everlasting rally in the US stocks saying that protectionist policies and insufficient partisan support for the Trump’s ambitious projections may wind down investors’ optimism.

Rating agencies are also skeptical with the regard to the uptick in the US companies’ growth. Over the last year, the average rating of some Dow Jones constituents has deteriorated from A+ to A (23 from 30 Dow components have been downgraded). This might have happened because of the fears of higher interest rates and their effect on company finances, or of Trump’s protectionist policies. But if Trump’s fiscal policies do become a real boost for the US economy, credit rating agencies will give in to investors’ positive forecasts and upgrade the ratings.

Oil prices are still steady, but for how long
2/13/2017

Brent oil futures dipped to $56.40 as investors booked profits ahead of the OPEC’s monthly report that should reveal how well the member countries adhere to planned output cuts.

The oil prices have become vulnerable to any bearish news as the OPEC output cut is fully priced into the market. It seems that on Monday the equilibrium has been shattered and tilted to downside.

Negative fundamental factors:

* The US rig count rose in the precedent week. Baker Hughes reported on Friday, that drillers added 8 oil rigs in the week to February 10, bringing the total number of the US rigs to 591 (the highest number since October 2015).

* Russian export volume is still high despite the production cuts. Russia participates in output reductions under November agreement. There are signs of Russian production cuts, but the exports are still high. Russians keep high export volume at the cost of lower domestic supply and by reducing their inventories.

* OPEC members voiced their concerns over further cut reduction. The longer and deeper their cuts, the more they cede market share to their competitors (the US drillers, for example, or other countries not participating in the global oil cut agreement).

Positive/nearly positive fundamental factors:

* According to the International Energy Agency report, OPEC implemented OPEC implemented 90% of promised output cuts last month. Non-OPEC members which voluntarily joined the agreement fulfilled their pledges by 50% (it’s a positive factor, but we must admit that full compliance with the agreement has not been achieved which indicates producers’ reluctance to lose their income and market share; there are always free riders among oil producers willing to cheat)

* Global oil demand is expected to rise in 2017

The factors listed above make us believe that the current oil prices rally is not long-lasting. It may end very soon once the reports start dispelling doubts about OPEC’s adherence.

EUR/USD: wave is about to end
2/13/2017

Image20170213145950001.png

Wave is about to end. So, we could have a new low in the short term, but then bulls are likely going to deliver wave [ii]. In this case, we should keep an eye on 8/8 MM Level as a possible intraday target.

Image20170213145950002.png

We’ve got two pullbacks from 1/8 MM Level in a row. Therefore, there’s an opportunity to have wave (v) of during the day. If a pullback from -2/8 MM Level happens, bulls will probably try to deliver an upward correction.

EUR/USD: "Window" acted as a resistance
2/13/2017

1302eurusdh4.png

We’ve got a “High Wave” and a “Harami”, which both have been confirmed enough. Therefore, the upper “Window” is likely going to act as a support. If so, bulls will probably try to test the nearest Moving Averages.

1302eurusdh1.png

There’s a “Hammer” at the last low. However, we’ve got a local “Shooting Star”, but a confirmation of this patters is a quite weak. So, the market is likely going to test the 55 Moving Average during the day.

USD/JPY: bulls going to test "Window"
2/13/2017

https://new.fxbazooka.com/img/articles/12455/1302usdjpyH4.png

We’ve got an “Inverted Hammer”, which led to the last upward price movement. At the same time, there’s a bearish “Harami”, which hasn’t been confirmed yet. Therefore, the pair is likely going to test the nearest support. If a pullback from this level happens, bulls will probably try to deliver a new local high.

1302usdjpyH1.png

There’s a new “Window”, but we’ve got a “Shooting Star” at the last high. Considering a confirmation of this pattern, the price is likely going to test the 34 Moving Average, which could be a departure point to another bullish rally

    USD/JPY broke daily Falling Wedge
    Next buy target – 115.00

USD/JPY continues to rise after the price earlier broke the resistance trendline of the daily Falling Wedge chart pattern from January. The breakout of this Falling Wedge continues the active minor impulse wave 3, which started earlier from the support area located between the pivotal supprt level 111.60 (which also reversed the price in November) and the 38.2% Fibonacci correction of the previous upward impulse 1 from November.

USD/JPY is expected to rise further to the next buy target at the resistance level 115.00 (top of the previous minor (B)-wave from the end of January).

GBP/USD: the pound cannot define its future path
2/14/2017

On the GBP/USD daily chart, there is a consolidation in the range of 1.234-1.258. To restore the bullish trend, the bulls will need to test the resistance at 1.264 and 1.268.

Screenshot_2017_02_14_08_21_45.png

On the GBP/USD hourly chart, there are two scenarios for the pound.

1. A breakout of the resistance at 1.258, followed by the rally towards 1.263 and rollback to 1.258 will be a signal of the bulls' weakness. This will allow us to sell the pound.

2. Formation of the second shoulder of the "Head and shoulders" pattern, followed by the return of quotes to the neckline can lead to the restoration of the long-term bearish trend.

AUD/USD: bulls are aware of the presence of Shark
2/14/2017

On the AUD/USD daily chart,  bulls are still struggling to fulfill the target 88.6% in the "Shark" inverted pattern. If they manage to do it, the rally towards 113% target will continue. The nearest support is located near the 0.7605 level.

Screenshot_2017_02_14_08_27_18.png

On the AUD/USD hourly chart, a successful test of the resistance at 0.769 will allow the "bulls" to push the quotes beyond the consolidation range at 0.7605-0.769. This may lead to the fulfillment of the target 200% in the AB = CD pattern.

Screenshot_2017_02_14_08_27_35.png

Recommendation:  BUY 0,769 SL 0,7635 TP 0,779.

Morning brief for February 14
2/14/2017

MW-DG199_yellen_MG_20150224101914.jpg

Janet Yellen is ready to testify on the Semiannual Monetary Policy Report

The US dollar took a hit in the course of the Asian after Trump’s National Security Advisor Michael Flynn stepped down. The euro gained some strength having risen to 1.0610 against the greenback. Today’s focus will be on the first of Janet Yellen’s two semi-annual Congressional testimonies. She is expected to reiterate her message from her recent speech that the economy is close to full employment and inflation rates have heightened a bit (remaining short of the Fed’s coveted target, however).  Janet Yellen will likely struggle to offer concrete guidance outside of the existing gradual approach to reducing the extent of accommodative policies having taken into account the fact that the timing of Trump’s expansionary fiscal policy is still unknown. Some Congress members might be quizzing her on the prospects of seeking reappointment after the expiration of her term next January.

GBP/USD went higher on the session. Market participants should keep an eye on the UK’s latest inflation data coming at 11:30 MT time. After the recent comments of MPC member Kristen Forbes these figures will probably become a real object of interest. Last week she said that the faster growth of the inflation rates won’t be welcomed by some of the BoE’s officials. From the past meeting, it became clear that the bank is not going to raise rates anytime soon, but if CPI data does spring an upside surprise the British pound may get a substantial lift.

AUD/USD spiked to 0.7680 in the early hours of the session due to the strong business conditions and confidence data that showed the best result in almost three years. Copper extended its rally climbing 0.6% to the highest since May 2015. Iron ore prices have also made some gains on Tuesday having climbed to its highest levels since August 2014.

USD/CAD dropped to 1.3045 having extended its yesterday’s losses. The economic calendar was light, so the real focus was on the Canadian PM Trudeau’s trip to Washington. The US President’s comment on the future US-Canada trade relationships was reassuring for the Canadian dollar. Oil prices have pared their recent losses. Brent oil futures rose to $55.66 on OPEC-led efforts to cut production.

EUR/USD: "Double Bottom" led to upward movement
2/14/2017

14-2-2017-EUR-H4.png

Bears faced a support at 1.0588, so we’ve got a “V-Bottom”, which pushed the price to a resistance at 1.0619. Therefore, the market is likely going to test the next resistance at 1.0655. If a pullback from this level happens, there’ll be an opportunity to have a decline towards a support at 1.0588 – 1.0578.

14-2-2017-EUR-H1.png

The price is consolidating along the nearest support at 1.0588. In this case, the pair is likely going to reach the nearest resistance at 1.0619 during the day. However, if we see a pullback from this level, bears will probably try to achieve a support at 1.0588 – 1.0578.

GBP/USD: bulls going to test nearest resistance
2/14/2017

14-2-2017-GBP-H4.png

We’ve got a “V-Bottom”, so the price is testing a resistance at 1.2548. Nevertheless, bulls are likely going to test the next resistance at 1.2581 – 1.2630 in the short term. Considering a possible pullback from this area, there’s an option to have a decline towards a support at 1.2509 – 1.2445 afterwards.

14-2-2017-GBP-H1.png

The last downtrend has been broken, so the price is consolidating. However, we’ve got a “Pennant” pattern. In this case, the market is likely going to test the nearest resistance at 1.2581 – 1.2599 during the day. If a pullback from these levels happens, bears will probably try to reach a support at 1.2509 – 1.2486.

Ahead of Yellen’s testimony
2/14/2017

GettyImages-480780632.jpg

The key event of the day is the Fed’s Chair Yellen’s semi-annual testimony before the Senate Banking scheduled for 17:00 MT time.

Banks’ projections:

Barclays

The bank’s analysts expect Janet Yellen to reiterate her public remarks made on January 19. Back then she said the US economy had made considerable progress towards the Fed’s 2% inflation target and full employment but was not at risk of overheating. That’s why the Fed would continue to adjust interest rates gradually, in accordance with the fiscal measures implemented by the new US administration.

BofA Merrill

Strategists from BofA Merrill as their colleagues from Barclays expect Ms. Yellen to sound similar to her recent speech. In the Q&A session, the Chair is likely to defend the Fed’s independence and reiterate that the fiscal stimulus is needed and that the Fed must proceed with its gradual hiking cycle.

Arguments against the hike in March from Reuters:

There is no clarity on the size, scope, and timing of the Trump’s tax. This makes it difficult for the Fed to chart its course for interest rate policy. Uncertainty over the US administration’s fiscal plans prevents the FOMC members from raising rates.

The Fed’s ability to project a significant shift in the economy is limited. So, their promises of rate hikes are not always fulfilled. So, in 2012 it was said that interest rate would increase in 2014, but didn’t change until December 2015. In 2016 a forecast of 4 rate hikes failed to realize. So, it seems that we should be skeptical about the probability of these rate increases.

The inflation rate is still below the Fed’s 2% target (it nearly reached it though – presently at 1.6%).

The view of the minority:

second_rate_rise0217.png

Albert Edwards, a market strategist at Société Générale, believes that Janet Yellen might trigger a steep bond selloff by talking up the possibility of rate increases at the Fed’s upcoming meeting in March. Edwards is not the only one who expects Yellen to flag the possibility of a rate hike in March. According to the Wall Street Journal surveys of a group of experienced analysts, the probability of the rate increase in March is currently featuring 25.8%.

EUR/USD: wave [ii] started
2/14/2017

Image20170214135210001.png

Wave has arrived, so there’s time for a correction. Previously, wave 2 has been formed like a zigzag. So, bulls are likely going to deliver wave [ii] in the short term

Image20170214135210002.png

There’s a bearish impulse in wave . Also, we’ve got a pullback from -1/8 MM Level. Likely, wave [ii] is going to form a zigzag, so we should keep an eye on 2/8 MM Level as a possible intraday target. If a pullback from this level happens, there’ll be an opportunity to have another decline.

Richard Dennis: trading coach of turtles
2/14/2017

Richard Dennis is well-known as the most successful of the breed of Chicago's commodity traders. He began trading at a very early age under the name of his father (because underage citizens were not allowed to participate in trading activities at that time) and made huge profits very soon from his modest $400 capital. In 1970, he increased it to $3,000, then, in 1973 turned this sum into $100, 000. By the age of 25, he became a millionaire trading soybeans and other commodity units.  

trading-places.jpg

The most famous experiment in trading history

Richard Dennis has always believed that successful trading is not a natural ability, but something that can be taught to anyone. His faithful friend Bill Eckhardt once questioned this assurance saying that only very talented people can become successful in trading. For Eckhardt, genetics and aptitude were the determining factors. The virtuous millionaire Dennis decided to prove to his long-time friend that any wily street fella without any natural predisposition to trading or some particular wit could be taught to trade successfully. He held a social experiment setting up a group of duffers who knew nothing about investing and trading. Mr. Dennis called his trainees the “Turtles” (he had just returned from Singapore and was impressed by how Singaporeans were growing turtles).  

In a matter of time, sponsored and mentored by the prince of the pit these luckies (Dennis’s turtles) did earn whaling sums of money and made ample amend for Dennis’s kindness. Thereby, Richard Dennis proved that trading could be taught and that any person with little or no trading experience can become excellent traders with a simple set of rules.

Eckhardt-Dennis social experiment was immortalized in the film “Trading places”, starring Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy.

trading-places-dan-aykroyd-eddie-murphy.

Trading tips from Dennis

    Exit the market at the first signs of the destabilization thereby protecting yourself from greater losses.
    The loss of even a small share of the capital is always destructive to the trader’s ability to analyze the market’s situation. So, never engage in a new trade after you suffered some losses.
    You should always analyze your market activities (even if you earned money on the bet).
    The traders start making mistakes when they discard the randomness of the market’s movements; technical analysis is as important as fundamental one.
    Trading novices shouldn’t rush into risky trades struggling to make a lot of money from their first trades. It is better to gain some experience before trading with a great sum of money.
    Try different trading techniques, look for new trading opportunities; don’t follow the constant trading pattern.
    When you are on a losing streak (when your losses are so big that you get depressed), it is better to start doing business and stop trading for a while.

 

Richard Dennis was dubbed the king of futures. This financial instrument was a goldmine for him. In the mid-eighties, many stock traders were following all Dennis’s trades closely. It was believed that if Richard Denis set his heart on a particular asset, it will soar in the future. But we must admit that the legendary trader was not always on a roll. In 1987, Mr. Dennis for some strange reasons decided not to follow his usual trading rules, got himself involved in a number of high-risk trades and lost millions of dollars entrusted to him by other investors. After this failure, he got depressed and vowed not to trade his or other people's money. In 1994 he returned to the commodity market and made huge profits once again. He became a real hero in the trading world. For unknown reasons, he always tried to shrug off the status of trading guru granted to him by many generations of traders. Instead, he called himself a random cold-blooded mechanical trader with the great experience under the belt.

AUD/CHF reached buy target 0.7700
2/14/2017

    AUD/CHF reached buy target 0.7700
    Next buy target – 0.7800

AUD/CHF continues to rise after the price earlier broke above the resistance level 0.7700 (which is the second of the two buy targets set in our previous forecast for this currency pair - 0.7650 and 0.7700). The breakout of the resistance level 0.7700 is expected to accelerate the active minor impulse waves (iii) and 3 – both of which belong to the sharp intermediate ©-wave from November.

AUD/CHF is expected to rise to the next buy target at the resistance level 0.7800 (target price calculated for the termination of the active impulse wave 3, intersecting with the resistance trendline of the wide daily up channel from last June).

AUD/NZD reached buy target 1.0650
2/14/2017

    AUD/NZD reached buy target 1.0650
    Next buy target - 1.0740

AUD/NZD continues to rise after the recent breakout of the key resistance level 1.0650 (which earlier reversed the price sharply in last November and which was set as the buy target in our previous forecast for this currency pair). The breakout of the resistance level 1.0650 accelerated the active minor impulse wave 3, which belongs to the intermediate impulse wave (3) from the end of January.

AUD/NZD is expected to rise further to the next buy target at the key resistance level 1.0740 (which reversed previous waves (1) and (a) in last October, as can be seen below).

EUR/USD: "Hammer" led to correction
2/14/2017

1402eurusdh4.png

The price reached the lower side of the support area, so we’ve got a “Tower”. If this pattern confirms, bulls are likely going to test the 21 Moving Average, which could be a departure point to another decline.

1402eurusdh1.png

We’ve got a “Hammer” and a “Tweezes” at the last low. Also, there’s a “Harami” pattern, which hasn’t been confirmed yet. Therefore, the market is likely going to test the nearest support once again. If a pullback from this level happens, there’ll be an opportunity to have an upward price movement in the direction of the 55 Moving Average.

USD/JPY: bearish "Shooting Star"
2/14/2017

There’s a bearish “Harami” on the 89 Moving Average. Considering a confirmation of this pattern, the market is likely going to decline in the short term. If a pullback from the nearest support happens, there’ll be an opportunity to have another upward price movement.

1402usdjpyH1.png

The 13 Moving Average is acting as a support. Also, we’ve got a bearish “Shooting Star” and a “Three Methods”. Therefore, the pair is likely going to get a support on nearest “Window”, which could be a departure point for another bullish rally.

USD/JPY trading tips from banks
2/14/2017

Deutsche Bank

Trump-Abe meeting has reduced concerns about politically triggered appreciation of the yen. Strategists expect US fiscal and monetary policy expectations to firm up support for USD/JPY in the near term. Fed Chair Yellen is due to testify before the Congress on Tuesday and Wednesday. Analysts prefer laying their hopes on the US fiscal policies rather than Ms. Yellen’s comments saying that she will unlikely give a clear signal on the next hike. They see firmer near-term downside support for USD/JPY within the 110-115 range, shifting to 115-120 range within the upcoming 3-6 months after US fiscal stimuli are announced. The bank’s analysts believe that if the full range of promised fiscal policies is introduced over the next 1-2 years the pair will rise to 120-125 levels albeit remaining very sensitive to political developments. Also, they continue to recommend building long positions using dips for purchases – strategically at near 110, and tactically at over 115 level.

NAB

The recent focus of the US administration on the protectionist policies supported the yen amid a substantial increase in demand for safe haven assets. USD/JPY slumped to 111.60 on risk-averse sentiments, then rebounded to 113-114 levels after Donald Trump rekindled investors’ hopes for his tax and fiscal expenditure plans. NAB’s analysts project a further uptick in the USD/JPY rally once market’s participants get more details on the fiscal policies of Trump’s administration.

NZD/USD: kiwi stumble upon support
2/15/2017

On the NZD/USD daily chart, after the target in the "Shark" inverted pattern was implemented,  quotes went beyond the upward trading channel and faced with the diagonal support. It corresponds to the lower boundary of the long-term upward trading channel. A rebound will create prerequisites for the NZD growth towards 0.7245 level and further.A rollback will allow the "bears" to continue their campaign in the southward direction towards 0.7.

On the NZD/USD hourly chart, quotes came closer to the target on the previously formed shorts (SELL 0,725 SL 0,7305 TP 0,712). Traders should lock in profits as a successful test of the resistances at 0.7177 and 0.7215 can lead to the restoration of the uptrend.
