AUD/USD bouncing up nicely, remain bullish ]

Price has started to bounce up really nicely. We remain bullish above 0.7441 support (Fibonacci retracement, horizontal swing low support, bullish divergence) for a push up to at least 0.7510 resistance (Fibonacci retracement, Fibonacci extension, horizontal overlap resistance). Stochastic (34,5,3) is seeing strong support above the 5.1% where stochastic is bouncing up nicely from and also sees bullish divergence versus price signalling that a bounce is impending. Buy above 0.7441. Stop loss at 0.7397. Take profit at 0.7510.

Fundamental analysis of USD/CHF for May 26, 2017

USD/CHF has been in a good bearish run since the bounce off the 1.0100 resistance area recently. Switzerland published a negative trade balance report on Tuesday which was at 1.97B versus the expected level at 2.87B. However, the Swiss currency is stronger against USD. Currently CHF is dominating USD in every dimension possible. On the USD side, today the G7 meeting is going on which is expected to bring some volatility to the market. Besides, the preliminary estimates of the GDP growth rate are expected to show an increase of 0.9% which previously was at 0.7%. The durable goods orders is expected to show a negative figure at -1.4% which previously was positive at 0.9%, and Prelim GDP Price Index is expected to be unchanged at 2.3%. If the USD reports fail to meet expectations today, CHF is expected to extend gains in the coming days. Now let us look at the technical view. The price has already broken below the event level at 0.9960 and currently it is in a non-volatile bearish trend with a target towards 0.9550 area. Some correction may be observed before the price reaches the ground at 0.9550 area. Counter players are currently weak in this market structure. We are in bearish bias in this pair and it will continue till the price breaks above 1.0100 area with a daily close.

Fundamental Analysis of AUD/USD for May 25, 2017

AUD/USD is currently trading with higher volatility on the break or retest of 0.7500-0.7550 area. Due to recent negative reports from Australia, the currency is expected to lose some ground against other currencies. Today, RBA Deputy Governor Debelle made a speech on key interest rates and future policy shifts of the country. His speech tends to be dovish, as a result AUD has been on the back foot. On the other hand, the US is due to release Unemployment Claims report later today which is expected to show an increase to 238k from 232k previously. Besides, Goods Trade Balance report is expected to show a slight decrease in deficit to -64.7B from a -64.8B deficit earlier. If the US economic reports today reveal positive figures, then we might see a further downward move in this pair in the coming days.

Now let us look at the technical chart. The price is currently being rejected off the resistance of 0.7500 area. Amid higher volatility after a short-term bullish move towards 0.7500, we foresee a further downward move in this pair. Currently, we will be looking for a daily close below 0.7500 today. If that happens, we will expect the price to move down towards 0.7160 support level in the coming days. We will be in bearish bias until the price breaks above 0.7550 with a daily close.

EUR/USD analysis for May 24, 2017
https://forex-images.instaforex.com/userfiles/20170524/analytics592566a1dea9b.png


Recently, the EUR/USD has been trading downwards. As I expected, the price tested the level of 1.1170. Anyway, according to the 15M time frame, I found a fake breakout of yesterday's low at the price of 1.1175. There is also a hidden bullish divergence on the moving average oscillator, which is another sign of potential strength. I have placed Fibonacci retracement to find potential upward targets. I got Fibonacci retracement 50% at the price of 1.1220 and Fibonacci retracement 61.8% at the price of 1.1230. My advice is to watch for buying opportunities today.

Resistance levels:

R1: 1.1245

R2: 1.1265

R3: 1.1305

Support levels:

S1: 1.1170

S2: 1.1150

S3: 1.1110

Trading recommendations for today: watch for potential buying opportunities.

Technical analysis of NZD/USD for May 23, 2017
https://forex-images.instaforex.com/userfiles/20170523/NZDUSDH4.png


Overview:

The NZD/USD pair continues to move upwards from the level of 0.6942. Yesterday, the pair rose from the level of 0.6942 (the level of 0.9866 coincides with a ratio of 50% Fibonacci retracement) to a top around 0.7000. Today, the first support level is seen at 0.6942 followed by 0.6913, while daily resistance 1 is seen at 0.7037. According to the previous events, the NZD/USD pair is still moving between the levels of 0.7037 and 0.6942; for that we expect a range of 95 pips (0.7037 - 0.6942). On the one-hour chart, immediate resistance is seen at 0.7014, which coincides with a ratio of 78.6% Fibonacci retracement. Currently, the price is moving in a bullish channel. This is confirmed by the RSI indicator signaling that we are still in a bullish trending market. The price is still above the moving average (100) and (50), Therefore, if the trend is able to break out through the first resistance level of 0.7073, we should see the pair climbing towards the double top at the level of 0.7067 to test it. It would also be wise to consider where to place stop loss; this should be set below the second support of 0.6913.

Fundamental Analysis of EUR/USD for May 22, 2017

EURUSD has been in non-volatile bullish trend after bouncing off from 1.0850. Today, this pair has shown a good amount of bullish pressure as the Eurogroup's meeting is taking place today among 19 member states of the eurozone. The meeting will co-ordinate their initiatives and decisions for the overall economic health in the eurozone. Currently, the meeting is unfolding well in favor of EUR and it is also reflected in the chart. On the USD side today, FOMC policymakers Harker and Kashkari are due to speak about an interest rate decision and further monetary policies.

The pair is expected to trade with higher volatile during these events. If USD fails to gain over EUR today, then further bullish pressure in this pair will continue in the coming days. Now, let us look at the technical chart. The price has retraced towards 1.1160 area today before showing some bullish pressure. Currently, the pair is riding a strong bullish bias and it is expected to reach 1.1350 resistance in the coming days. Meanwhile we might see some corrective moves along the way though today the bullish pressure is quite impressive but the dynamic level of 20 EMA is quite far from the current price which indicated an upcoming retracement in this pair before heading much higher towards 1.1350.

Fundamental Analysis of AUD/JPY for May 19, 2017

Recently, AUD/JPY has been in a volatile corrective structure. Yesterday, despite positive reports from Australia AUD could not dominate JPY. Australia released Employment Change report which showed an increase of 37.4k, much better than the forecast for moderate 4.5k growth. Besides, Unemployment Rate declined to 5.7% from 5.9%, analysts projected a flat reading. On the other hand, Japan had positive Prelim GDP at 0.5% which was expected to be at 0.4% and negative Prelim GDP Price Index at -0.8% which was expected to be at -0.7%. Amid mixed economic reports from Japan, JPY dominated AUD despite upbeat economic reports yesterday. This resulted in an indecision daily candle, but in the coming days AUD is expected to climb up higher against JPY.

Now let us look at the technical chart. The price is currently under the important level of 82.90 while filling up the French Election GAP yesterday. At present, a bullish move is expected in this pair if the price closes above 82.90 with a daily close. We will target 84.50 as the first target and 86.10 as the second target for the bullish trade. The bais will keep the bullish bias until the price takes out 81.50 with a bearish daily candle.

Fundamental Analysis of AUD/USD for May 18, 2017

Recently, AUD/USD has shown a good amount of bullish pressure after a bounce of 0.7330 support area. Today, AUD also had a good amount of bullish pressure after positive economic reports on Australia's Employment Change which were better than expected. The Employment Change report showed an increase of 37.4k which was expected to be at 4.5k. Besides, Unemployment Rate in Australia declined to 5.7% from 5.9% earlier, the forecast was made with a flat reading. The positive economic reports from Australia gave some boost to AUD. Nevertheless, it failed to keep it up, giving in to the USD pressure. On the USD side, today we have Unemployment Claims report which is expected to increase to 240k which previously was at 236k. Philly Fed Manufacturing Index is expected to decrease to 19.9 which previously was at 22.0. Australia has already presented strong data. On the other hand if US reports reveal negative figures, then we might see AUD gaining more against USD in the coming days.

Now let us look at the technical chart. The price is currently showing indecision due to equal pressure from AUD and USD. Recently, AUD/USD has formed a Double Top Pattern where it is currently going to retest the Neckline of the pattern at 0.7500 level. The price is currently being hold by 20 EMA dynamic resistance. If that could not hold, the price is likely to reach 0.7500 horizontal resistance before the price continues its bearish trend again towards 0.7160 support level. As the price remains below 0.7500, the pair is set to follow the bearish bias.

Fundamental Analysis of GBP/USD for May 16, 2017

GBP/USD has been in a volatile corrective structure after a break above 1.2800. For the recent 2 weeks, the price has been stalling between 1.2800 to 1.3000. Today, a good amount of volatility is expected in GBP because of the high impact economic news. Among them is UK CPI report which is expected to rise to 2.6% which previously was at 2.3%. PPI Input is expected to decrease to 0.1% which previously was at 0.4%. Besides, RPI is expected to increase to 3.4% which previously was at 3.1%.

Eventually, Industrial Production report is expected to log a decrease to 0.4% in April from 0.5% in March. GBP has an upper hand over USD currently. However, due to high impact news from the UK and US today we might experience spikes in the market today.

Now let us look at the technical chart. The price is currently in a corrective structure above 20 EMA and horizontal support area of 1.2750-1.2800. Due to yesterday's bullish rejection on the daily candle, now we expect the price to move down towards the support area of 1.2750-1.2800 and reject the sellers off the level and show some bullish move towards next resistance of 1.3370. On the other hand, if the price breaks below 1.2750 with a daily close, then we will consider sell positions with a target towards 1.2550, till then we are in a bullish bias.

AUD/USD bouncing up nicely, remain bullish

Price has started to bounce up nicely from our buying level. The plan today is to remain bullish above major support at 0.7332 (Fibonacci extension, Elliott wave theory) and we expect a bounce above this level to at least 0.7426 resistance, (Fibonacci retracement, horizontal swing high resistance).

Stochastic (55,5,3) has made a bullish exit meaning that a further rise can be expected.

Correlation analysis: AUD/USD has a strong positive correlation with NZD/USD which means they usually move together. We are expecting a rise on AUD/USD and a rise on NZD/USD which goes well with the positive correlation expected.

Buy above 0.7332. Stop loss at 0.7290. Take profit at 0.7426.

Daily analysis of Silver for April 28, 2017

https://forex-images.instaforex.com/userfiles/20170428/1493385538_SILVERH4.png

Overview

The silver price tests the 17.43 level that was broken previously, as the price is affected by stochastic positivity. Meanwhile, the EMA50 forms negative pressure that keeps the bearish trend scenario active for today. Therefore, we are waiting for bearish rebound on the intraday basis, and the main target is represented by visiting 16.56 levels. A breach of 17.43 followed by 17.60 levels will push the price to return to the main bullish trend again. The expected trading range for today is between the 17.10 support and the 17.45 resistance.

Daily analysis of GBP/JPY for April 26, 2017

https://forex-images.instaforex.com/userfiles/20170426/GBPJPYH4.png

Overview

The GBP/JPY pair succeeded to gather the bullish momentum. The bullish attack will resume by surpassing 141.10 level, approaching from our target at 143.35. The continuation of the positive pressure might allow the price to open the way to more upward targets from 145.45 and higher to 148.45 top as a result of surpassing the current level which forms 23.6% Fibonacci retracement. In case 143.35 forms a solid barrier to the bullish rally, that will force the pair to trade sideways and limit the price between this barrier and 141.10 until gaining new bullish momentum. The expected trading range for today is between 142.20 and 145.40

EUR/JPY Fundamental Analysis April 25, 2017

After the French Election Round 1 in the weekend, EUR/JPY started the week with a GAP of 390 pips. Though the price showed some bearish movement yesterday falling back to 119.25, today the bulls are trying to take over again. Today, despite having the Italian Bank Holiday due to the observance of the liberation day, EUR is stronger than JPY. On EUR side, Belgian NBB Business Climate report is going to be published later today which is expected to be at -1.4 which previously was at -1.6. If the news comes positive today, EUR is likely to gain more strength in the coming days. On the other side, Japan's SPPI report was published today which was better than expected at 0.8% instead of 0.7%. Nevertheless, JPY could not gain ground against the EUR pressure today. Overall, EUR is expected to climb much higher against JPY in the short term.

Now let us consider he technical view. The price is currently residing in the mid-range of 118.20 to 121.10. If the price breaks above 121.10 with a daily close, then we will be planning buy positions with an upward target of 123.50 resistance level. Otherwise, if the price breaks below 118.20 with a daily close, then we will consider sell positions with a downward target towards 116.20 support level. Currently it would be better to be on the sidelines for this pair until the range is broken with a daily close on either side.

USD/CAD Fundamental Analysis April 20, 2017


USD/CAD is currently going through a good amount of volatility in the market. There had been bearish impulsive movement with a great pressure which was recently taken out by bullish impulsive moves. We have observed price exhaustions for several times in this pair and currently sentimental confusion going on in USD/CAD. Yesterday CAD Gov. Council Member Wilkins spoke about the key interest rates and monetary policy which did not provide any positive outcome for the currency, as a result USD gained a good amount of strength closing above 1.3450 yesterday. On the USD side, today market is expected to be quite volatile as important economic events like Philly Fed Manufacturing Index is going to be published which is expected to be at 25.6 which previously was at 32.8 and along with it Unemployment Claims report is going to be published which is expected to show an increase to 241K which previously was at 234K. If USD news comes positive today, we might see the pair climbing up much higher in the coming days.

Now let us look at the technical view, the price has again managed to enter the channel area with a daily close above 1.3450. As of the bullish impulsive pressure and taking out the prior swing on the upside, it is expected that the price will move towards 1.3535-50 resistance area and if the resistance area is taken out with a daily close then we will be looking forward to further upside movement towards 1.40.

Fundamental analysis of NZD/USD for April 19, 2017

NZD/USD has been in a non-volatile bullish trend until the rejection today off the level of 0.7050. Yesterday, the GDT Price Index was published in New Zealand with a positive reading of 3.1% which previously was at 1.6%. After the GDT Price index had been revealed, NZD showed a good amount of bullish move towards the resistance at 0.7050. On the USD side, today we have Crude Oil Inventories report to be published which is expected to be at -1.0M versus the previous level -2.2M. If the USD report comes better than expected, then we might see USD gaining more strength over NZD in the coming days. Tomorrow, the CPI report will be released in New Zealand. The inflation rate is expected to rise to 0.8% which previously was at 0.4%. If these expectations are met, the volatility in this pair will increase tomorrow.

Now let us have a look at the technical picture. The price is currently rejecting the resistance at 0.7050. If the price remains bearish with a daily close today, then we will be looking forward to further bearish move in the coming days with a target towards 0.6900. On the other hand, if the price breaks above 0.7050 with a daily close, then we will be bullish with a target towards 0.7130 and 0.7250 in the coming days.

Analysis of Silver for April 18, 2017

Recently, the Silver has been trading sideways at the price of 18.40. According to the 1H time frame, I found that price has broken the upward channel, which is a sign that buying looks risky. There is also a hidden bearish divergence on the moving average oscillator, which is another sign of weakness. My advice is to watch for potential selling opportunities. Downward targets are set at the price of 18.25 and at the price of 17.95.

Resistance levels:

R1: 18.40

R2: 18.43

R3: 18.46

Support levels:

S1: 18.35

Global macro overview for 13/04/2017

The Employment Change data from Australia released overnight were way better than expectations. The Employment Change for March was at the level of +60.9k while market participants expected +20k, prior was +2.8k, revised from -6.4k. The Unemployment Rate remained unchanged at the level of 5.09%, just as expected. The Full-Time Employment Change was at the level of +74.5k, while prior was +38.8k, revised from +27.1k. The Part Time Employment Change decreased -13.6k, the prior decrease was -35.9k, revised from -33.5k. In conclusion, Australia's employment surged in March, rising for the sixth consecutive month and confirming that the labor market was on a strong footing after a rocky 2016.

Let's now take a look at the AUD/USD technical picture at the H4 timeframe. The data release from the Australian labor market has contributed to the intensification of demand that has managed to break out of the downward channel. Around the 61%Fibo at the level of 0.7600, the supply began to enter the market and the rally was capped. The stochastic oscillator still looks positively but it might be confronted with RSI retreat. The capitulation of the supply at the level of 0.7600 should bring the possibility of a further rally towards the next resistance - this time 78.6% at the level of 0.7635. The nearest support is seen at the level of 0.7568.

EUR/JPY Fundamental Analysis April 11, 2017

EUR/JPY is currently in a non-volatile bearish impulsive structure after the break below 121.10. Today the eurozone posted mixed economic reports but EUR failed to gain ground against JPY. Today Japan released Prelim Machine Tools Orders which showed a notable increase in the figure to 22.6 which previously was at 9.1% only. On the EUR side, German ZEW Sentiment report was published at 19.5 which was expected to be at 13.2, Industrial Production report was negative at -0.3% which was expected to be at 0.2%. Besides, ZEW Economic Sentiment report was also positive at 26.3 which was expected to be at 25.0. With the greater amount of gain of the JPY Prelim Machine Tools report, JPY has gained good strength against EUR and expected to keep momentum till the daily close.

Now let us look at the technical view, price has broken below 118.20. As the bullish rejection and impulsive bearish pressure is observed in the market till now, the price is expected to move down towards 116.25 in the coming days. If the price rejects off the 116.25 support level, then we may see a bullish move towards 118.20 again. On the other hand, if the price breaks below 116.25 with a daily close, then we will be expecting much downward move towards 112.50.
