riki143 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 USD/JPY: "HIGH WAVE" AND "THREE METHODS" 13:20 20.06.2017 We've got a bearish "Harami" at the local high. Therefore, bears are likely going to test the 21 and 55 Moving Averages. If a pullback from these lines happens, there'll be an opportunity to have another upward price movement towards the upper "Window". The last "Window" has been broken, but there're a "High Wave" and a "Three Methods" patterns, so the price is likely going to test this "Window" once again. If we see a pullback from this level, bulls will have an option to deliver a new local high.

riki143 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 MORNING BRIEF FOR JUNE 21 06:03 21.06.2017 These last two days passed without any key data releases, but with more UK political uncertainty (the UK government is still not formed), an extremely dovish Mark Carney overlaid with a significant downfall in oil prices. The yen was the Constant Tin Soldier in the Asian session as it managed to fight the beefy USD. USD/JPY fell below 111.30 earlier today. The news about the recent North Korean missile test contributed to the JPY strengthening. The British pound dropped to 1.2600 yesterday after BoE Governor Carney signaled that he is in no hurry to raise rates, putting a special emphasis on the weakness the British economy might further experience in the course of Brexit negotiations. While there are three MPC voters worrying about heightened inflation rates, Carney’s speech made market participants believe that the BoE will unlikely provide a rate hike by the end of this year. Tonight, we will continue to keep our focus on the GBP with the Queen’s speech to Parliament which is due at 11:30 GMT and the UK monthly public-sector net borrowing report. The euro slumped to 1.1116 against the USD in the Asian session. The downward momentum is not as strong as USD Bulls would like it to be. A mixed set of Fed’s speeches made traders a little bit confused. Charles Evans and Robert Kaplan sounded dovish overnight. The former one said that he is getting very nervous in the light of a multi-month run of low inflation readings. Robert Kaplan said he needs more evidence that low inflation rates are temporary before enacting additional tightening measures. Fed Chair Yellen and NY’s Bill Dudley were explicitly hawkish as they were speaking of current Fed’s monetary policy cycle. We don’t expect significant moves from EUR/USD today as no significant economic releases are seen on the horizon. Perhaps, only one is worthy – the US existing home sales report which is out at 17:00 GMT+3. At the present moment, the pair is trading at 1.1130 – a little bit higher from yesterday’s low. There is ample room for further EUR weakness towards the solid support at 1.1105. A break below this level will allow us to target the lower ones – 1.1070. The immediate resistance can be found at 1.1155 but the euro will have to put a great deal of effort to break it. Aussie fell to 0.7555. The outlook for AUD/USD is still neutral though. The pair will likely trade in the range of 0.7525 – 0.7630 in the short-term without any significant economic releases that could spur buying/selling of the AUD. The kiwi has also lost a little ground against USD. NZD/USD fell to 0.7225 in the Asian session notwithstanding the fact that the yesterday’s Global Dairy Auction ended with almost no change in the dairy prices. USD/CAD is trading much higher from the weekly opening level – at 1.3283 from 1.3212 – mainly due to falling oil prices. Brent oil futures slumped to $45.45 yesterday as investors lost their faith in OPEC’s capacity to reduce oil glut despite with unprecedented compliance with the output deal. The oil stockpiles in a number of importing country do not shrink significantly.

riki143 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 GOLD IS SQUEEZED IN THE CHANNEL 06:27 21.06.2017 On the daily chart of gold, quotes approached the lower border of the upward trading channel. A successful test of the support with the subsequent breakout of the neckline of the Head and shoulders pattern located near $1,230 may result in a quotes' downfall towards $1,210 and $1,190. On the hourly chart of gold, the Head and Shoulders pattern has worked out. There is a change in the short-term trend or a pullback within the near-term upward trend. A rollback from $1,255 and $ 1, 260 levels may result in the opening of short positions.

The risks of the pullback towards 23.6%, 38.2% and 50% levels within the transformation of the Shark pattern into pattern 5-0 increased. Rebounds from the support can be used for the opening of long positions. On the USD/JPY hourly chart, the Bears expect to return quotes within the borders of the downward trading channel after the realization of the Shark pattern. The Bulls have other plans. They will protect the 110.6 level trying to prevent the activation of the pattern.

Therefore, the market is likely going to test the nearest support at 1.1108 - 1.1075. If a pullback from this area happens, there'll be an opportunity to have another upward price movement in the direction of the next resistance at 1.1108 - 1.1131. The price is consolidating along support at 1.1131. Also, there's a bearish "Flag", so the pair is likely going to reach the closest support at 1.1108 - 1.1075. If we have a pullback from these levels, bulls will have a green light to deliver a local correction.

riki143 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 OIL MARKET OVERVIEW 08:20 21.06.2017 Brent oil futures have extended their decline below $46 per barrel – a nine-month low as rising supply offsets efforts by OPEC and other major oil producing countries to drain a glut. Recovering production from Libya and Nigeria which are exempt from the output cut deal due to losses caused by their domestic unrests – adds to oil supplies and make OPEC delegates to question whether their efforts are enough for oil glut reduction. Growing production from the US raises some additional concerns over OPEC’s ability to reduce the oil output. Baker Hughes Inc. reported last week that American drillers have added 6 rigs to the previous count of 741. The number of rigs was rising in last 22 weeks. It is the longest run in 30 years. The American Petroleum Institute published an updated data on the US crude inventories yesterday. According to the API estimates, the US stockpiles dropped by 2.72 million barrels in the past week. The drag factor is that gasoline supplies continued to rise as American refineries increased their production capacities. In today’s spotlight will be the official data on the US stockpiles. If it confirms the data from private source released yesterday, the oil prices might get some modest support. In the long-term, many analysts predict a further decline in oil prices. The Bank of Russian in its latest monetary policy reports presented an extremely sobering outlook on oil. The bank’s officials believe that with an economic slowdown in China and general ebbing demand for energy, the oil prices could slump to $25 per barrel by mid-2018. Some other thinktanks believe that countries’ efforts to comply with Paris climate accord may become an additional headwind for oil crude futures. Such oil giants as Exxon Mobil and Royal Dutch Shell risk to lose significant parts of their revenues, once the international climate targets are met. More than $2 trillion of planned investments in the oil and gas fields by 2025 may become redundant if governments increase their efforts to lower carbon emissions and limit global warming to 2°C (the information is retrieved from the Carbon Tracker thinktank and a group of institutional investors). The money spent on the extension of Kashagan (dubbed as “cash all gone”) in Kazakhstan as well as on the Bonga Southwest and Bonga North in Nigeria will unlikely bring expected revenue in case of the realization of the 2-degree scenario. In the following article, we gave just a short sketch of the oil fundamentals. Most of them are headwinds for oil prices. In the short term, however, the oil prices may partially recover their losses (if incoming economic data is positive). Extreme spikes and a clear return to the levels above $50 are unlikely though. Increased compliance with the OPEC deal should offer only modest support to oil prices.

riki143 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 PREDICTING BITCOIN’S FUTURE VALUE. WHAT CAUSES ITS UPS AND DOWNS? 11:25 21.06.2017 In recent years, bitcoin has become an all-time favorite asset of many traders due to its fast appreciation. 2017 is truly fruitful for BTC. Simple because since the beginning of this year it spiked by nearly 200%, outpaced the yellow metal and achieved its all-time high of $3000. What causes such an unprecedented rally? It is bitcoin’s exceptional characteristics. Its main distinction from fiat currencies is the fact that no government controls it. While there is no limit to a number of banknotes the central political entity can get out of money printing press, bitcoins are very limited in number. There are only 21 million of them in circulation and this number cannot be increased. Many believe that the limited quantity of bitcoins increases their value in the long run. So, don’t be surprised if Bitcoin rebounds to even higher peaks. A major drawback of the bitcoin is its extreme volatility. Bitcoin is moving upwards with numerous corrections – multiple dips that can easily hit traders’ pockets. There are three major factors that may distort the BTC’s way to the upside: Government regulations. Although Bitcoin is a decentralized currency; it still can be influenced by government regulation. For example, in early February, Chinese authorities seeking to relieve downward pressure on the yuan and stop the depletion of the country’s exchange reserves, halted bitcoin’s withdrawals. Investors could only buy or sell bitcoins on Chines exchange but were not allowed to transfer them or download/remove them. The BTC was hurt significantly. The decision to resume withdrawals came in May and sent the BTC to an all-time high. The news headlines. Sometimes, the price of Bitcoin moves in par with the major world news and some other Bitcoin-related news (cyber-attacks, security breaches). Investors at small funds. Various speculators have a significant effect on the bitcoin’s fluctuations. A great share of bitcoin’s $6.4 billion market is owned by individual investors in such institutions like hedge funds. The recent big drop was spotted on June 15, 2017. Bitcoin slumped to $2250 from $2570 in a single day for no fundamental reason. Then, the digital currency managed to recover to $2640 in just a few days. Such swing is not new for Bitcoin. It is already an established pattern: after the significant downfall, the BTC rebound to the even higher levels. Those who decide trading BTC should make a note of such extreme fluctuations in BTC/USD and remember about bitcoin’s characteristics we specified in this article.

Unless there’s a break higher we shouldn’t expect a resumption of an uptrend. On H1 advance towards 1.3460-1.3470 and 1.3495 (88.6% target of the “Bat” pattern) should be used for opening short positions.
