USD/JPY: bears going to break the last low

8/4/2016

 

0308usdjpyW.png

 

There's a “Shooting Star” at the local high, which has been confirmed strongly. So, the price is likely going to decline towards the nearest “Window”.

We've got a confirmed bullish “Harami” at the last low, but the nearest “Window” could act as a resistance.  If so, the current downward price movement is likely going to be continued. As we can see on the Daily chart, the last candles are bearish and we haven’t got any reversal pattern so far, which makes possible the further sellers steps.

GBP/USD & BoE Interest Rate Decision: Will the downside pressure return to the Sterling?

8/4/2016

 

Today at 11:00 GMT will be released the BoE interest rate decision, where the markets are expecting a rate cut by 25 bp. Currently, the rates stand at 0.50% and that could give the bears enough momentum to push lower the Cable towards the post-Brexit lows. 30 minutes later will speak the BoE's Governor Carney, where the markets will be closely watching, as it's speech could give us further hints in terms of economic measures for the United Kingdom in the mid-term, following the Brexit's outcome.

 

The technical picture for GBP/USD at H4 chart is still very bearish and also, it's trapped inside the post-Brexit range. A pullback is expected around the 1.3358 level towards the support zone of 1.2845 if the BoE's stance is dovish than expected and the central bank decides to cut rates. However, if there are no major actions by the BoE today, then we can see a slight rise and test the 1.3615 level, where the 38.2% retracement zone (from pre-Brexit's peak) is placed.

EUR/USD: "Double Top" stopped bullish rally

8/4/2016

 

4-8-2016-EUR-H4.png

 

The price has faced a resistance at 1.1235, which led to form a “V-Top” pattern, so we’ve got the current downward movement. Therefore, bears are likely going to reach a support at 1.1120 in the short term. If we see a pullback from this level, there’ll be an opportunity to have a bullish correction towards a resistance at 1.1222 – 1.1235.

 

4-8-2016-EUR-H1.png

 

As we can see on the one-hour chart, the pair found a support on the 55 Moving Average. Also, there’s a possible “Flag” pattern, so the market is likely going to decline towards a support at 1.1120. However, if a pullback from this support happens afterwards, bulls will probably try to catch a resistance at 1.1196 – 1.1222.

4-8-2016-GBP-H4.png

 

The price is moving up and down along a resistance at 1.3339. So, the pair is likely going to achieve a support near the 55 Moving Average. If bears be stopped here, then an upward movement becomes possible, so we should keep an eye on the closest resistance at 1.3400 – 1.3471.

 

4-8-2016-GBP-H1.png

 

We’ve got a consolidation, but also there’s a local “Double Top”. In this case, bears are likely going to reach a support at 1.3247. At the same time, if we see a pullback from this level, there’ll be a chance to have an upward movement in the direction of the nearest resistance at 1.3370 – 1.3400.

8/4/2016

 

EUR/AUD reversed from resistance level 1.4900

Next sell target - 1.4500

EUR/AUD continues to fall strongly inside the minor impulse wave (iii) – which began earlier - when the pair reversed down from the resistance zone lying between the upper daily Bollinger Band and the resistance level 1.4900. The active minor impulse wave (iii) belongs to impulse 3 of the intermediate downward impulse wave (3) form the middle of February.

 

EUR/AUD is expected to fall further in the active impulse waves (iii), 3 and (3) toward the next sell target at the pivotal support level 1.4500 (which reversed earlier impulse waves (iii), 1 and (i) in May, April and June, as can be seen below).

USD/JPY & US NFP July Release: It's time for greenback's bulls?

8/5/2016

 

Today at 12:30 GMT will be released the US Non-Farm Employment change, where the markets are expecting a decrease from 287K to 180 for July's reading. However, last month's data was very positive and Wednesday's US ADP data gave some hints that we could see another positive NFP release today. During the week, some Fed's officials have been talking about the good shape that US economy is having nowadays and following a “muted” tone from FOMC minutes, traders will be highly expecting this release.

 

Our technical overview for USD/JPY at H4 chart is calling for further declines, as we have been seeing a bearish consolidation below the 200 SMA, after a failed breakout above that dynamic resistance offered by the moving average. There is a critical support placed around the 100.35 level, where we could expect a breakout only if the US NFP is weaker than expected and eventually it can make new “post-Brexit” lows across the board. The bullish scenario can be calling for a very strong support around the 100.35 level, that could give fresh momentum to the pair in order to rally towards weekly's highs.

EUR/USD is stuck in the dead area

8/5/2016

 

On the daly chart the pair keeps moving in line with scenario we've outlined in the previous article: the recoil down from the upper border of the descending trend channel (painted in red) and the following growth towards 1.1175. If the bulls manage to reach this level and then renew July high, the pair will likely move towards 1.1260 and 1.1340. On the other hand, inability to hold above 1.1114 will show that the buyers are weak.

 

Screenshot_2016_08_05_07_36_09.png

 

On H1 EUR/USD formed descending trend channel. The nearest support levels are at 1.1114 and 1.1082. Look for resistance near 1.1170 and 1.1235.

The main target for wave [ii] is 3/8 Murrey Math Level, which could be a jumping-off point for wave [iii].

 

Image20160805080324002.png

EUR/USD: bears dominating after "V-Top" pattern

8/5/2016

 

5-8-2016-EUR-H4.png

 

There’s a “V-Top” pattern, so the price is trading near the Moving Average lines. Therefore, it’s likely that the market is going to decline towards a support at 1.1083 – 1.1059 in the short term. If we see a pullback from this area, a correction price movement will be on the table, so we should keep an eye on the closest resistance at 1.1222 – 1.1235.

 

5-8-2016-EUR-H1.png

 

The price has faced a support on the 89 Moving Average, so we’ve got a local flat in progress. Under these circumstances, the pair is likely going to get a resistance on the 34 Moving Average during the day. However, if a pullback from this line happens afterwards, there’ll be an opportunity to have a decline towards a support at 1.1145 – 1.1032.

GBP/USD: "Triple Top" points to bear's reappearance

8/5/2016

 

5-8-2016-GBP-H4.png

 

The price was consolidating along a resistance at 1.3339, which ended up by the massive decline. However, bears faced a support at 1.3119, which led to the current local upward movement. So, sellers are likely going to move on. The main intraday target is a support at 1.3015 – 1.2945. Considering a possible pullback from this area, an bullish correction becomes possible later on.

 

5-8-2016-GBP-H1.png

 

We’ve got a “Triple Top” pattern, which led to the yesterday’s dramatically fast downward price movement. Therefore, it’s likely to see a local bullish correction during the day, because there’s a pullback from the nearest support at 1.3116. At the same time, bears are so strong, which makes possible an achievement of the next support at 1.3071 – 1.3017.

EUR/USD: "Engulfing" set up bullish correction

8/5/2016

 

0508eurusdh4.png

 

There’s a “Hammer” at the local low, which has been confirmed enough. So, it’s likely that the price is going to reach the nearest resistance in the short term. If we see a pullback from this level, there’ll be an opportunity to see a decline towards the nearest “Window”. As we can see on the Daily chart, here’s an “Engulfing”, but its confirmation a quite weak. Therefore, the market is likely going to move up and down between the closest support & resistance levels.

 

0508eurusdh1.png

 

We've got an “Engulfing” on the 89 Moving Average line, but also there’s an unconfirmed “Harami” at the local low. Therefore, the price is likely going to reach the nearest resistance line, which could reverse the price movement into a bearish direction.

As we can see on the Daily chart, the last candles are bearish and there isn’t any reversal pattern so far. Also, here’s “Thrusting Line”, but it hasn’t been confirmed yet, so right after a local correction bears will probably try to break the last low.

 

0508usdjpyH1.png

 

We've got a “High Wave” on the 34 Moving Average line, which has confirmed enough. Therefore, it’s likely that the pair is going to reach the 34 Moving Average once again during the day. If we see a pullback from this line, there’ll be a chance to see another bearish rally.
