riki143 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Forex Analytics Forex trading plan for Dec. 4 EUR/USD hit a multi-month low of 1.2320 in the European trade on the softer-than-expected euro zone’s PMI in the Services sector and retail sales data. Daily close below the recent low of 1.2360 would confirm the current bearish move and open the way for a move lower, to the 1.2250/00 area. Markets stay bearish on the euro ahead of the ECB meeting on Thursday – some players expect Mario Draghi to announce a full-scale QE tomorrow. GBP/USD has once again found support above 1.5600. The pair is supported by a sell-off in EUR/GBP. Still, the efforts of the bulls will likely be constrained because of the general strength of the US dollar. The pair’s consolidating in a triangle ahead of this week’s big events – the Bank of England’s meeting on Thursday and the US NFP on Friday. Resistance is at 1.5710 ahead of 1.5830/50. Sterling’s advance will likely be limited as the BOE will keep rates unchanged worrying about the negative effects from the euro area. A break below 1.5600/5585 will open the way to 1.55 and lower. USD/JPY showed a bullish close on Tuesday. The pair’s trading just below 119.50. Next levels to watch on the upside are at 119.85 and 120.00. Support is at 118.20 and 117.70. AUD/USD has recovered some ground from the 0.8380 support, but remains far below the 0.8500 resistance. Australian Q3 GDP was a strong disappointment for the market, strengthening the case for more ECB easing to come. Don’t miss Australian October retail sales and trade balance figures tonight at 00:30 GMT. Forecast for the retail sales is especially downbeat (+0.1% versus prior +1.2%).

riki143 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Forex Analytics Forex trading plan for Dec. 5 On Friday market attention will be glued to the US Non-Farm Payrolls release at 13:30 GMT. According to the forecast, the US economy created 231K new jobs in November (slightly more than in October). The figure will be crucial for all the currency pairs as it will impact Fed’s rate hike expectations. On Thursday EUR/USD has recovered a figure from the multi-month low of 1.2300 as the ECB announced no QE. According to Mario Draghi, ECB could alter stimulus measures in early 2015 if needed (not necessarily in January). Mario Draghi is clearly advocating new stimulus, so the overall picture for EUR/USD remains clearly bearish. On Friday watch the German Factory Orders data. USD/JPY reached 120.15. The advance was fueled by the initial decline in EUR/USD. The market players are probably taking profit after such big target was hit. Support is at 119.50, 119.10 and 118.60.

riki143 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Forex Analytics Forex trading plan for Dec. 17 EUR/USD pushed higher on the back of the better-than-expected euro zone’s PMI and ZEW economic activity indices. The pair met resistance at 1.2560 as we speak. Push higher would open the way to 1.2600 and then, potentially, to 1.2900. On Wednesday euro zone is scheduled to release final November CPI (forecast: unchanged at +0.3%). However, the pair will mostly be driven by the Fed’s meeting expectations. GBP/USD rose as the USD was broadly weaker on Tuesday plus the British banks stress tests results were quite encouraging. Lower-than-expected British consumer prices have tempered the advance: so far the bulls have failed to overcome resistance is in the 1.5800 area. Further resistance is at 1.5830 and 1.5875. Tomorrow the UK is expected to release rather positive labor market data. Also watch the publication of the Bank of England’s meeting minutes (09:30 GMT). Support is at 1.5650 and 1.5600. The Fed’s meeting will be decisive for the pair. USD/JPY tested levels below 115.60: yen is in demand as a safe haven. The pair’s tested the 2-month support line and is vulnerable for a decline to 113.50 (50% Fibo of the Oct.-Dec. advance; 55-day MA). Resistance is at 117.30 and 117.95. AUD/USD tested the 0.8200 mark to the downside, but remains resistive for now. There are no releases scheduled in Australia for tomorrow, to the pair will also depend on the Fed. Break below 0.8200 could open the way to new lows of 0.8060. The medium-term picture remains bearish.
