EUR/USD: wave 2 going to move on 1/17/2017 It turns out that wave 2 is going to be continued, because we’ve got a wedge in wave [a]. Therefore, bears are likely going to deliver wave in the short term. If a pullback from 2/8 MM Level happens afterwards, there’ll be an opportunity to have another bullish impulse in wave [c] of 2. As we can see on the one-hour chart, wave (v) of [a] has just finished, so the price is likely going to form wave (a). The main intraday target is 5/8 MM Level, which could be a departure point for a local correction. More: https://fxbazooka.com/analytics/12076

USD/JPY: bullish "Harami" 1/17/2017 We’ve got an “Evening Star”, which has been confirmed. However, there’s a bearish “Three Methods” pattern, so the price is likely going to test the nearest “Window”. If a pullback from this level happens, there’ll be an opportunity to have another upward price movement. The 13 Moving Average acted as a resistance, so we’ve got an “Evening Star” and an “Engulfing”, which both have been confirmed. So, the nearest “Window” is likely going to be acted as a support. If so, bulls will probably try to test the 13 Moving Average once again. More: https://fxbazooka.com/analytics/12075

EUR/USD: bearish "Engulfing" near the "Window"[/] 1/17/2017 The 21 Moving Average acted as a support, so we’ve got a local “Tweezers” pattern, which led to the last upward price movement. If the pair faces a support on the nearest “Window” bulls are likely going to move on. We’ve got a bullish “Tweezers”, which has been confirmed. Also, there’s a bearish “Engulfing” at the local high, so the market is likely going to test the lower side of the “Window” during the day. More: https://fxbazooka.com/analytics/12074

EUR/USD: bullish "Flag" 1/17/2017 There’s a consolidation, which is taking place between the nearest resistance at 1.0669 and the 89 Moving Average.

EUR/GBP & UK CPI for December: Is the opportunity to fill the gap? 1/17/2016 The United Kingdom continues to be the headline on the wires during this week, as today at 09:30 GMT we’ll have the UK CPI for December, which is expected to see an increase to 1.4% from 1.2%.This move is likely to happen as recent Sterling’s weakness is helping to increase prices of raw material and it should be noted that the BoE is looking for an inflation’s rising to 2.7% in 2017. Also, we should pay attention to the UK PM Theresa May’s word today at 11:45 GMT about recent Brexit developments. Our technical analysis for EUR/GBP at H1 chart is showing a well-established bullish trend across the board amid the strong bullish gap seen on Monday’s opening. Currently, the pair remains supported by the 0.8773 level and it could help to reach higher levels in the short-term. However, if EURGBP manages to extend its decline in order to fill the gap, it should break below the 0.8747 level and the 50 SMA, looking for the 0.8700 level.

EUR/JPY falling inside minor C-wave 1/16/2017 EUR/JPY falling inside minor C-wave Next sell target - 120.00 EUR/JPY continues to fall inside the C-wave of the active intermediate ABC correction (4) from the middle of December (which started when the pair reversed down from the powerful resistance level 124.00, which has been reversing the price from May). The price earlier broke the support level 122.00 (which reversed earlier wave A) – which accelerated the active C-wave. EUR/JPY is expected to fall to the next sell target at the next support level 120.00 (target price for the completion of the active intermediate ABC correction (4)). Strong resistance now stands at the recently broken price level 122.00. More: https://new.fxbazooka.com/analytics/12062

CAD/JPY falling inside intermediate impulse wave (3) 1/16/2017 CAD/JPY falling inside intermediate impulse wave (3) Next sell target – 86.00 CAD/JPY has been falling in the last few trading sessions inside the intermediate impulse wave (3), which started earlier from the powerful multi-month resistance level 88.70 (which stopped the previous intermediate correction (2) in April and the active primary impulse wave ?, as can be seen from the daily CAD/JPY chart below). The resistance zone near the resistance level 88.70 was strengthened by the upper daily Bollinger Band. CAD/JPY is likely to correct down further to the next sell target at the support level 86.00 (low of the previous intermediate impulse wave (1), standing close to the 50% Fibonacci correction of the previous intermediate ©-wave from November).

EUR/USD: wedge in wave (i) 1/16/20117 There’s a zigzag in wave 2. Previously a wedge in wave 1 has been formed, so bears are likely going to form another impulse in wave . The main intraday target is 1/8 MM Level. As we can see on the one-hour chart, there’s a small wedge in wave (i). So, there’s an opportunity to have a local upward correction during the day.

USD/JPY: bullish "Engulfing" 1/16/2017 We’ve got a “Hammer” and a “Harami” patterns, but both of then haven’t been confirmed yet. Therefore, the pair is likely going to test the nearest support level, which could be a departure point for another bullish movement. There’re an “Inverted Hammer” and an “Engulfing”, which all have a confirmation. In this case, bulls are likely going to test the 34 Moving Average.

EUR/USD: "Window" acted as a resistance 1/16/2017 The upper “Window” acted as a resistance, so we’ve got a bearish “Doji”, which has been confirmed enough. So, the price is likely going to test the 34 & 55 Moving Averages in the short term. If any bullish pattern arrives afterwards, there’ll be an opportunity to have another upward price movement. As we can see on the one-hour chart, the price found a lodgement under the closest resistance. Considering that there isn’t any confirmed bullish pattern, the market is likely going to decline towards the lower “Window” and the 144 Moving Average.

GBP/USD: "Breakaway Gap" 1/16/2017 There’s a “Breakaway Gap”, so we’ve got a new low. Bulls are likely going to fulfil the gap in the short term, so we should keep an eye on a resistance at 1.2113 as a possible intraday target. Nevertheless, there’s an opportunity to have another decline towards a support at 1.1946 afterwards. The price faced a support at 1.2037, which led to the current consolidation. In this case, bulls are likely going to test a resistance at 1.2113 shortly. Considering a possible pullback from this level, bears could reach the nearest support at 1.1946 soon.

EUR/USD: bearish "Double Top" 1/16/2017 The price is still consolidating in a support area. Therefore, buyers are likely going to test the nearest resistance at 1.0650 - 1.0669 in the short term.

So, bulls are likely going to test a resistance at 1.0605 – 1.0669 during the day. However, if a pullback from this area are be on the table, bears will probably try to reach the nearest support at 1.0575 – 1.0551. More: https://new.fxbazooka.com/analytics/12052

EUR/USD: bears decided to repeat attack 1/16/2017 On the daily EUR/USD chart the inability of the bulls to renew January high led to the formation of the inside bar. During trading on January 13 there was support at 1.0595-1.0600. Its first test was unsuccessful, but in the near term bears will launch another attack. On H1 there's a combination of "Three Indians" and 1-2-3 patterns. This is a serious reversal signal. A break of support at 1.06 will trigger the "Bat" pattern and increase the risks of decline towards 1.0470-1.0480. https://new.fxbazooka.com/img/articles/12051/Screenshot_2017_01_16_08_05_34.png Recommendation: SELL 1,06 SL 1,0655 TP 1,048.

AUD/USD: bears are counting on the wedge 1/16/2017 On the daily AUD/USD chart, the bears are trying to use the inside bar and return the quotes below support at 0.7467 (50% of the last medium-term descending wave). If they succeed, risks of decline towards $0.7390 will increase. On H1 AUD/USD has every chance to finish the "widening wedge" pattern. Formation of the point 5 and the following retracement towards 23.6%, 38.2% and 50% of the wave 4-5 will be the signal for opening short positions. If all goes well, attack of the bears may bring the prices below 0.7420. Recommendation: SELL 0,745 SL 0,7505 TP1 0,7385 TP2 0,7345. More: https://new.fxbazooka.com/analytics/12050

GBP/USD after "Hard Brexit" headlines: lower levels in the mid-term? 1/16/2017 Monday’s Asian opening was headlined by a strong sell off in GBP across the board, as the currency is digesting the statements from UK PM Theresa May about a possible “hard Brexit”, suggesting that such negotiations will turn into a very difficult process for the United Kingdom to exit from the European Union. We should remember that May will deliver a speech on Tuesday about her Brexit plans. As for now, we’ll have today another key event at 18:30 GMT with a speech coming from the BoE’s Governor Mark Carney and will be interesting to see some hints about current Carney’s concerns on Brexit aftermath. Our technical analysis for GBP/USD at H1 chart is very bearish as the pair tested new historical lows, even lower after those who were reached during last October’s “flash-crash”. However, GBP/USD is extremely oversold and it’s recovering from that sharp decline. It’s possible to see a strong recovery by the pair at least towards the 1.2069 level, where we can expect a resistance to being found, with the next target placed around 1.2131, still below the 200 SMA.

EUR/USD: outlook for January 16-20 1/13/2017 During the past week, EUR/USD tested higher levels. The weaker US dollar and stronger industrial production in the euro area drove the pair to the upside. At the same time, the single currency didn’t manage to step far from its recent lows. Political uncertainty keeps limiting the bulls. The ECB December meeting minutes showed that, despite improvement in the data, low inflation still remains a concern. In the new week pay attention to the following releases: the region’s trade balance on Monday, German ZEW economic sentiment on Tuesday and final CPI on Wednesday. The European Central Bank will have its first 2017 meeting on Thursday. The minutes also showed that "a few members" of the central bank’s Governing Council rejected proposals to continue quantitative easing beyond March. However, the ECB is not likely to change its approach in January keeping its monetary policy extremely loose. As a result, if the US currency starts gaining strength again, the euro probably will not be able to keep rising. Resistance is at 1.0700, 1.0780 and 1.0850. Support is at 1.0540 and 1.0500 ahead of 1.0375. More: https://new.fxbazooka.com/analytics/12046

EUR/GBP reached buy target 0.8600 1/13/2017 EUR/GBP reached buy target 0.8600 Next buy target - 0.8900 EUR/GBP continues to rise inside the accelerated impulse waves 3 and (3), which earlier broke through the pivotal resistance level 0.8600, which was set as the buy target in our earlier forecast for this currency pair. Both of the active impulse waves 3 and (3) belong to the long-term upward impulse ? from the start of December. EUR/GBP is expected rise further in the direction of the next buy target at the next resistance level 0.8900 (former strong support level, which reversed earlier waves 3, 5 and B in October, as can be seen below). Strong support now stands at the support level 0.8600. More: https://new.fxbazooka.com/analytics/12045

USD/CHF reached sell target 1.0060 1/13/2017 USD/CHF reached sell target 1.0060 Next sell target – 1.0000 USD/CHF recently reached the strong support level 1.0060, which was set as the sell target in our previous forecast for this currency pair. The price earlier broke through the 38.2% Fibonacci correction level of the previous sharp upward impulse from the start of November – which accelerated the active C-wave of the intermediate ABC correction (4) from the middle of December. If USD/CHF breaks below the support level 1.0060 – the pair can then fall to the next sell target at parity, coinciding with the forecast price calculated for the completion of the active the intermediate ABC correction (4).

GBP/USD: outlook for January 16-20 1/13/2017 In the past week, despite the weakness of the US dollar, British pound, unlike the euro, stayed under pressure. The UK economic figures were mixed: manufacturing and industrial production showed good gains in November, but goods trade deficit widened. During the new week, we’ll get more insight about British economy: the nation will release consumer inflation figures on Tuesday, labor market data on Wednesday and retails sales on Friday. Statistics are not currently the primary driver for the pound. Brexit remains a big source of concerns for the British pound. We expect many comments about it at the World Economic Forum, which will unfold in Switzerland during the entire week. In addition, the UK Prime Minister Theresa May is expected to finally uncover Brexit strategy – possibly just days before a crucial Supreme Court ruling on whether Parliament must give its consent to leaving the EU. The key thing the markets will be watching is whether Ms. May wants Britain to remain in the EU’s single market or customs union after Brexit. Last weekend she hinted on the upcoming exit from the single market, and her words worsened sentiment about the pound. Technically there’s a head-and-shoulders pattern on the chart, but a close below the neckline around 1.2120 is needed to send the pair down to support at 1.20 and then potentially 1.1945. Resistance is at 1.2305 and 1.2410. More: https://new.fxbazooka.com/analytics/12043
