GBP/USD: bulls going to reach nearest resistance 9/18/2016 The price found a support at 1.2974, so we’ve got a “V-Bottom” pattern here. Therefore, bulls are likely going to achieve a resistance at 1.3115 shortly. Meanwhile, considering th previously formed “V-Top” pattern, there’s an opportunity to see an achievement of the next support at 1.2934. The market plunged last Friday. Finally, bears were stopped by a support at 1.2974, so an upward correction is taking place. The main intraday target is the nearest resistance at 1.3058 – 1.3115. If a pullback from this area happens afterwards, there’ll be a chance to have a new local low. More: https://new.fxbazooka.com/analytics/10515

At the same time, if a pullback from this line happens, there’ll be an opportunity to see a decline towards a support at 1.1138 – 1.1122. More: https://new.fxbazooka.com/analytics/10514

EUR/USD: the euro chose its direction 9/18/2016 On the EUR/USD daily chart, the quotes went beyond the 1,1205-1,127 trading channel and allowed traders to open short positions. If the "bears" manage to continue the initiated attack and break through the 1,113 support, the activation of the Bat pattern will increase the risk of euro falling to 1,104 and 1.1 marks. On the EUR/USD hourly chart, the target at 88.6% in the Bat pattern has been fulfilled. Update of the newly formed low will allow the pair to continue its downward movement, at least down to the level of 1,111. Withdrawal from the convergence zone 1,12-1,1205 will be a signal to open short positions. Recommendation: SELL 1,12 SL 1,125 TP1 1,111 TP2 1,104 TP3 1,1 More: https://new.fxbazooka.com/analytics/10510

GBP/USD: the pound fell into a bear trap 9/18/2016 On the GBP/USD daily chart, due to the drop in quotes to their September lows, our targets of the short positions on the pound have been fulfilled. Break-point of rising short-term trend is very steady, therefore, traders should focus on the sales at 1,3072-1,3075 and 1,315 levels. Over time, the pair is expected to go down to 1,291-1,2925 levels. On the GBP/USD hourly chart 'bulls" can gather themselves up and attack the lower boundary of the descending trading channel. If their efforts fail, it will be a signal to open short positions. As for an initial target it makes sense to use the convergence zone of 1,295-1,2965. Recommendations: SELL 1,307 SL 1,314 TP1 1,2965 TP2 1,291 SELL 1,3105 SL 1,3155 TP1 1,2965 TP2 1,291 More: https://new.fxbazooka.com/analytics/10509

AUD/USD & CB Leading Index/RBA Monetary Policy Minutes: Opportunity for buyers ahead? 9/18/2016 Today we'll have a light economic calendar in terms of macroeconomic events, but we'll be watching for the latest developments around the Australian Dollar, as we would be following the CB Leading Index at 14:30 GMT and latest numbers have been showing a pattern to stay in the range between 0.1% and 0.5% during the latest months. However, the key event will be at 01:30 GMT on Tuesday, when it will be released the RBA monetary policy meeting minutes. Our technical picture for AUD/USD at H4 chart is calling for more weakness across the board, but in terms of price action, there is a zone very important for the buyers, as the 0.7515 – 0.7455 levels have been proven to be a strong demand zone and eventually, the Aussie may have a momentum to resume the bullish bias. If that happens, then a breakout above the 0.7515 level is expected towards the 0.7565 zone. By another hand, if the pair manages to break the 0.7455 support level, it's expected to fall towards the 0.7400 level. More: https://new.fxbazooka.com/analytics/10508

USD/JPY: "Window" acted as a support 9/16/2016 The last “Shooting Star” pattern led to the current bearish price movement. Also, we’ve got a pullback form the lower “Window”, so the market is likely going to reach the nearest Moving Averages. If a pullback from these lines happens, there’ll be an opportunity for another decline. As we can see on the Daily chart, the price achieved the important support levels, so bulls will probably try to deliver a local correction. We’ve got one more bearish “Engulfing”, so the price reached the lower “Window”. Considering a “Harami” pattern, there’s a chance to have a bullish movement towards the Moving Averages, which could reverse the price movement into a downward direction.

Oil prices: so, we fall again] 9/16/2016 Major oil producers are pulling in their belts as Nigeria and Libya whose supplies have been crushed by a range of domestic conflicts are preparing to add their share of barrels to a global oil glut within weeks. The belts will be pulled even tighter when another large producer – the Kashagan, dubbed as “cash-all-gone” due to series of expensive overruns, is going to pour more oil into the markets. OPEC low-cost producers (Kuwait and the UAE) are not ready to sacrifice their profits. Saudi Arabia and Iraq turned on the taps at their full capacity and raised their production since late 2014. Add to this Baker Hughes’ data announcement about the increase in number of oil rigs and you will get a full package to put oil prices down. All this happens when refineries are going to freeze their production thereby reducing their appetites for crude oil. Gloomy reports from OPEC, International Energy Agency offer little room for optimism. The 15th International Energy Forum (IEF15) scheduled for the 26-28th of September will unlikely make any difference to this sudden collapse of oil supple, even if two major producers (Saudi Arabia and Russia will manage to negotiate a production freeze. The oil prices are already responding this competition between major producers. Crude oil prices fell by $4,7 from its September high $47,75 a barrel. We expect oil prices will fall further.

EUR/JPY falling inside impulse wave (iii) 9/16/2016 EUR/JPY falling inside impulse wave (iii) Next sell target - 114.00 EUR/JPY recently reversed down from the resistance zone lying between the resistance level 116.00 (which also earlier reversed the previous minor ABC correction (ii)), the upper daily Bollinger Band, 38.2% Fibonacci correction of the earlier downward impulse from April and the lower trendline of the wide weekly down channel from 2015 (acting as resistance now after it was broken). The downward reversal from the aforementioned resistance zone started the active minor impulse wave (iii), which belongs to the impulse wave 3 from the middle of July). EUR/JPY is expected to fall to the next sell target at the support level 114.00. More: https://new.fxbazooka.com/analytics/10505

EUR/USD: "Three Methods" pushed price lower 9/16/2016 There’re a “Harami” and a “Doji” at the local high, which both have been confirmed. So, it’s likely to see another test of the 89 Moving Average in the short term. If a pullback from this line happens, bulls will probably try to reach the nearest resistance. As we see on the Daily chart, the last candle have been closed under the middle of the previously formed huge white candle, which is a strong bullish sign. So, if we see a pullback from the closest support, there’ll be an opportunity to have another upward movement. We’ve got a consolidation, which brought a “Shooting Star” at the local high. Also, there’s a bearish “Three Methods” pattern. Therefore, the market is likely going to test the nearest support line once again. More: https://new.fxbazooka.com/analytics/10503

Why everybody should keep in focus the forthcoming BOJ meeting 9/16/2016 Upcoming BOJ’s decision on interest rate haunts investors and traders. Senior lenders urge Bank of Japan (BOJ) to weigh up its monetary policy of low interest rate saying that it grossly curtails their lending income. This policy is facing ferocious criticism since the negative rates neither reflect on the country’s economic growth nor help to achieve long-cherished inflation rate of 2%. Despite all this pressure and apparent failure of the BOJ’s monetary policy, the bank officials seem to be unable to decide this brainteaser. On the one hand, they cannot give up on their program of financial stimulation of the country’s economy. On the other hand, they face with constant nagging of Japanese financial institutions, crying over their shrinking margins. Mr. Haruhiko Kuroda, a current Governor of BOJ, has recently admitted that monetary policy of low interest rates does harm the Japanese financial sector and puts additional pressure on pension funds. That’s why the BOJ might be opposed to negative interest rates at the forthcoming meeting scheduled for the 21st of September. The BOJ will have to question the credibility of its current financial tools and introduce the new ones. Some economists from proven printing editions believe that the BOJ might be willing to smooth financial losses of the banks by reducing its purchases of longer-term bonds and buy more short-term ones. This decision, in its turn, has caused a tremendous sell-off in JPBs and put even more pressure on investors stricken by the Friday’s stock market downfall.

GBP/USD: new local high is coming[/b[ 9/16/2016 We’ve got a consolidation, which is taking place between the levels 1.3277 – 1.3115. So, the market is likely going to decline towards a support on the 89 Moving Average. If bears be stopped here, then there’ll be an opportunity to see an achievement of the nearest resistance at 1.3302. As we can see on the one-hour chart, there’s a flat under the local downward trend. Therefore, the pair is likely going to get a support at 1.3209 during the day. Considering a possible pullback from this level, there’s a chance to have an achievement of the next resistance at 1.3277 – 1.3302 later on. More: https://new.fxbazooka.com/analytics/10498

EUR/USD: consolidation between "Thorn" and "Double Bottom" 9/16/2016 The price has been moving between the 89 Moving Average and the nearest resistance at 1.1270. So, the market is likely going to get a support at 1.1196 in the short term. However, if we see a pullback from this level, there’ll be an opportunity to have another upward movement in the direction of the next support at 1.1301. Bulls faced a resistance at 1.1284, which led to form a “Thorn” pattern, so we’ve got a consolidation near the Moving Averages. Therefore, it’s likely that bears are going to achieve a support at 1.1213 – 1.1198 during the day. At the same time, if a pullback from this area happens, bulls will probably try to get a resistance at 1.1282 – 1.1296. More: https://new.fxbazooka.com/analytics/10497

EUR/USD & US Core CPI: Further declines ahead of Fed meeting? 9/16/2016 Today at 12:30 GMT will be released the US Core CPI for August and market's analysts are expecting a slight increase from 0.1% to 0.2% and with that scenario, we shouldn't expect more volatility during the event, following the mixed data published yesterday in the United States, with retail sales more contracted than expected, while the industrial production declined. However, because it's Friday, we should pay attention to that data, as we may get surprises. The technical picture for EUR/USD at H4 chart is showing an overall bullish structure above the 200 SMA, as it remains supported by that indicator. Also, the level of 1.1210 is providing a good pivot point for the pair and if we see fresh momentum in coming hours that favours the bulls, then it can rally to the 1.1339 level, only if EUR/USD manages to break the 1.1275 level.

Top 6 best candlestick reversal patterns 9/15/2016 Eastern wisdom gained iconic status in Western countries. Some people addressed to Eastern thinkers in order to purge themselves from sins and deepen their spirituality, while others learnt how to make money. That’s the case of Japanese candle chart analysis now used internationally by traders. One of the main advantages of using candle charts is that they provide you with early indications of market reversals. To be able to recognize these trading signals, you should memorize the main candlestick patterns. Harami and Engulfing candlestick Let’s refer to my favorite reversal pattern – Harami. From old Japanese “harami” means pregnant. The bigger candlestick is the mother, and the smaller one is the baby. The body of the baby must lie within the body of its mother. Their position tells us that the market has come to a muted reversal. You may ask: “Ok, and how do we trade it?” In a bull trend, we should use the bullish Harami to define the end of the ascending trend. In a bear trend, you have to use the bearish Harami to designate the end of the bullish retracement. The next popular trend is called engulfing candlestick. It is the opposite of Harami pattern flipped horizontally. The body of the second candle entirely engulfs the body of the first. The engulfing candlestick is a reversal of a downward trend; it demonstrates how the sellers were overpowered by the buyers. Trading signals. In case of a bull trend, you should buy above the bullish engulfing pattern for bullish continuation. If there is bear trend, sell below the bearish engulfing pattern for bearish continuation. Hammer and Hanging Man candlesticks Well, let me put it bluntly, these two patterns look exactly the same. Their body is located near the top of the candlestick, and their shadow is much longer than their body. The difference between the hammer and the hanging man is following: the hammer pattern can be identified at the very end of the downward trend line (it is a strong bullish signal), while the hanging man appears at the end of a bull run (roughly speaking, the suffocation of the hanging man signifies the beginning of the bearish trend). Trading signals. If there is a downward trend, we should buy above the hammer pattern for a reversal play. In case of a bullish trend, we should sell below the Hanging Man pattern for a reversal play as soon as the bears consolidate their positions. Piercing Line and Dark Cloud Cover The first candle of the Piercing line pattern is bearish, while the second one is bullish. It opens below the wick of the first candlestick and closes above the 50% of the first candle’s body. Both bodies are long enough. The Dark cloud cover is a bearish version of the Piercing line. The first candlestick is bullish. The second one opens above the higher ending of the wick of the first candlestick and closes below the mid-point of the first candlestick. 2. Inverted Hammer and Shooting star. The Inverted hammer has the same shape as the Shooting star. But they designate the beginning of two different trends. When an Inverted Hammer is found at the end of a downtrend, a Shooting star is placed at the end of the uptrend. Trading signals. In a downtrend, you should buy above the Inverted Hammer pattern for a reversal play once “bullies” win back their lost position and consolidate them. And in a bull trend, it’s better to sell below the Shooting star pattern for a reversal play. Morning and Evening Stars These ones have three bars. A Morning star consists of a long bearish candlestick, a candle below it (no matter which one, it could bearish or bullish one) and a bullish candlestick that closes within the body of the first candlestick of the same pattern. An evening star consists of a long bullish candlestick, a star above it (either bullish or bearish) and a bearish candlestick closing within the body of the first candlestick. Trading signals are following: buy above the last candlestick of Morning star three-bar pattern and sell below the las bar of the Evening start formation. Three White Soldiers and Three Black Crowns It’s a sort of an ascending ladder, each candlestick embodies a staircase. All three part of this pattern have almost the same size with a little deviation. After we pass three staircases, we may be sure that the bullish trend is growing in strength. The Three Black Crows pattern reminds a descending ladder. Each of the three candlesticks in this pattern should open within the previous candle body and close near its ending. If three crows flew in the “window” (appear on the graph), the bearish trend is on the lookout. Trading signals: you should buy above the Three White Soldiers pattern and sell below the Three Black Crowns. More: https://new.fxbazooka.com/analytics/10489

Therefore, we should keep an eye on 1/8 Murrey Math Level (P=200) as a possible intraday target. As we can see on the one-hour chart, we’ve got a zigzag in wave (d). In this case, wave (e) is likely going to end soon. If we have a pullback from 5/8 MM Level, then there’ll be an open door for wave (a). More: https://new.fxbazooka.com/analytics/10487

AUD/CHF reversed from support zone 9/15/2016 AUD/CHF reversed from support zone Next buy target - 0.7400 AUD/CHF recently reversed up from the support zone lying between the support level 0.7270 (which reversed earlier waves (a) and 2, as can be seen from the daily AUD/CHF chart below), lower daily Bollinger Band and the 50% Fibonacci correction level of the earlier sharp upward impulse from the middle of June. The upward reversal from this support zone completed the previous minor ABC correction (ii). Given the strength of the support level 0.7270 - AUD/CHF is expected to continue to rise toward the next buy target at the resistance level 0.7400. Buy stop-loss can be placed at half the daily ATR (Average True Range) below the aforementioned support level 0.7270. More: https://new.fxbazooka.com/analytics/10486
