Andrea ForexMart Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 Technical Analysis for GBP/USD: March 23, 2016 Sterling continued its low trajectory on Wednesday amidst negative economic data, terrorism attacks in Europe, and rising worry surrounding the Brexit.

The nearest rate increase is in another three years, while the US is expecting at least two rate hikes this year, pushing the dollar upward. UK’s controversial 2016 budget was also bad news for the ailing pound.

Andrea ForexMart Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 Technical Analysis for AUD/USD: March 29, 2016 The Australian dollar edged up in today’s trading after mixed US data weighed down the dollar. The US’ core PCE in February posted a dismal growth of 0.1 percent, missing the 0.2 percent forecast. The core PCE price index also performed below expectations as it rose annually by 1.7 percent. Meanwhile, consumer spending was went up by 0.1 percent, meeting government forecasts. The US economy experienced a 1.4 percent growth in Q4, topping a 1.0 percent forecast, which carried the dollar slightly. The Aussie dollar, which has risen by about 3.7 percent this year, is expected to continue a slow climb as talks of the currency’s overvaluation is still in the air. Investors are still waiting if the RBA will cut interest rates to keep it from further ascent. A speech by Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen later today may sway investors to buy back the dollars. The pair is now facing a ceiling at 0.7572 and can be seen testing 0.76. The first support was at 0.7519 and 0.7481 subsequently. The first resistance was 0.7585 and 0.7623 subsequently.

Andrea ForexMart Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 Technical Analysis for USD/JPY: March 31, 2016 The Japanese Yen expanded in today’s early trading as Fed chairwoman Janet Yellen’s dovish remarks on Tuesday prompted investors to sell their greenbacks. The currency pair hit a daily low of 112.25. Yellen’s speech on Tuesday to the Economic Club of New York said that caution must be exercised in hiking interest rates, lessening the possibility of a rate increase during Fed’s upcoming meeting in April. However, Yellen is optimistic on the growth of the US economy. The dollar experienced a rally in the past weeks due to other Fed officials’ hawkish statements that implied they are eyeing to raise the numbers. The speculation of a rate increase is now expected in Fed’s next meeting in June. Yellen’s announcement put the Bank of Japan (BOJ) in a more difficult position, which is battling stagnant deflation amidst strong currency. BOJ’s negative interest rates set in January did very little to help the situation. Eyes are now on BOJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda to see what monetary tools he will use to ease the problem. The BOJ may be forced to further lower the interest rates during its policy meeting in April. The first support was at 111.82 and 111.26 subsequently. The first resistance was at 112.62 and 113.19 subsequently. The MACD indicator is in a positive location. The price is falling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrea ForexMart Posted April 1, 2016 Author Share Posted April 1, 2016 Technical Analysis for NZD/USD: April 1, 2016 The New Zealand dollar is maintaining a bullish trend against the US dollar despite lack of economic data released in recent days. It appears that the kiwi is only propped up by the dollar’s sell-off and not because of strong economic performance. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) slashed interest rates in early March. Talks of another rate cut is rife as the RBNZ’s policy meeting in April comes nearer. The bird landed at a daily low of 0.6890 in earlier session but has since bounced back to its days-long attempt of beating the 0.69 level and possibly hover pips below 0.70. Employment data from the US is scheduled to be released later this session. The first support is at 0.6853 and 0.6818 subsequently, while the first resistance is at 0.6939 and 0.6973 subsequently. The MACD indicator is at a positive level. The price is declining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
