Technical analysis of GBP/USD for January 04, 2016

Overview:

The market continues showing signs of weakness following the break at 1.4799 (support has become resistance). Therefore, the GBP/USD pair's support has been broken and it was turned into resistance last week. Moreover, the pair has already formed a strong resistance at the level of 1.4799 (the weekly pivot point). So, the market indicates a bearish opportunity at the level of 1.4799 with the first target of 1.4700 and continues towards 1.4665. On the other hand, if the trend fails to break this level and close below 1.4665, then upside momentum is rather convincing and the structure of the rise does not look corrective. Additionally, the market will indicate a bullish opportunity at 1.4665, thus it will be a good sign to buy at this level (1.4665) with targets at 1.4733 and 1.4790.

Elliott wave analysis of EUR/NZD for December 21, 2015

Wave Summary: The odds do favor that an expanded flat wave ii ended at 1.5990 and wave iii higher will now develop to do a rally towards at least 1.7116, which is the first extension target for wave iii. Whenever wave two becomes an expanded flat correction, we should expect wave three to extend and in the case EUR/NZD the first extension target at 161.8% the length of wave i will be seen at 1.7116, which by the way also marked a 38.2% corrective target of a rally of wave 1.

So, an expected bottom has been found at 1.5990 for a breakout above 1.6246 as the first indication that the bottom is in place and wave iii higher is developing.

Trading recommendation:

We will buy on a breakout above 1.6246 and place our stop at 1.6010.

Technical analysis of EUR/USD for December 18, 2015

Overview:

The EUR/USD pair is trading between the levels of 1.0866 and 1.0722 (these levels coincide with the Fibonacci retracement levels 78.6% and 38.2% respectively). It should be noted that the level at 1.0866 will act as a strong resistance because it represents a ratio of 78.6% Fibonacci retracement levels in the H1 chart. Moreover, the daily pivot point has always set below the resistance and it will act as a minor resistance in the area of 1.0849. Therefore, it will be rather gainful to sell below the levels of 1.0866 or 1.0849 and move further downside with targets at 1.0722 and 1.0694. The double bottom will set at the point of 1.0642; but the weekly support 1 has already been found at 1.0694. On the other hand, stop loss should always be taken in account, consequently, it will be of beneficial to set the stop loss above the resistance 1 at the level of 1.0866.

Elliott wave analysis of EUR/NZD for December 10, 2015

Wave summary: We did see an anticipated breakout above resistance at 1.6490 for a rally higher to 1.6749. This morning, RBNZ cut its rates by 25 basis points, which should help this cross move even higher. However, a rather hawkish statement from RBNZ after the rate cut caused a deep retracement of the rally from 1.6049 to 1.6748. We do regard a decline from 1.6748 as a corrective decline, which have ideally terminated at 1.6242 for the next impulsive rally higher towards 1.7191.

That said we have to accept a possibility of an even deeper corrective decline closer to 1.6049, but at no point is this low allowed to be broken as that will invalidate the above count.

Trading recommendation:

Our stop at 1.6390 was hit for a nice 345 pip profit. We will only buy on a break above 1.6348 and place a stop just below the most recent low.

Elliott wave analysis of EUR/NZD for December 9, 2015

Wave summary:

The price-action for EUR/NZD continues to unfold as expected. We are currently testing the top of wave i at 1.6490 and a breakout above here will call for an extended rally higher towards 1.7191 as the next upside target.

In the short-term, only a breakout below minor support at 1.6390 will indicate that a correction towards at least 1.6311 and 1.6221 is needed before the next impulsive rally higher.

Trading recommendation:

We are long EUR from 1.6045 and will move our stop higher to 1.6390. If you are not long EUR yet, then buy on a breakout above 1.6490 and use the same stop at 1.6390.

Liverpool in Kazan: InstaForex clients enjoyed Europa League match

An ordinary day in Kazan, November 5, was marked by an outstanding event for football fans. That day, the Europa League game between Rubin Kazan and Liverpool FC was played at the Kazan Arena stadium. The UK team arrived in Russia headed by new manager Jurgen Klopp. Of course, we could not miss such an event and decided to make a surprise for our largest clients in Tatarstan's capital and nearby cities inviting them to a buffet in our Kazan office. But the biggest surprise was the meeting with Liverpool FC ambassadors Ben Latty and Mark Rollins.

Then, the guests were driven to the game. After the 1­1 tie in Liverpool, the teams were focused on a victory. The match was intense. InstaForex clients and representatives as well as the company's UK partners were watching the game keenly, cheering their favorites.

Despite the brilliant performance of the goalkeeper, Rubin Kazan lost 0­1 to Liverpool. The Reds arrived in Kazan and showed that the tie at Anfield was just a coincidence. Liverpool played an amazing game and probably due to pouring rain failed to score more goals. Still, UK fans were happy with the result and InstaForex clients received unforgettable impressions on the superb game and wonderful evening.

Elliott wave analysis of EUR/NZD for December 3 - 2015

Wave summary:

Ideally, we have seen a bottom at 1.5838 for a break above minor resistance at 1.6009 and more importantly a breakout above resistance at 1.6243 confirming that a bottom for the correction from 1.9114 is in place and a new impulsive rally to 1.8020 and above can develop. We have to acknowledge the risk is more downside pressure towards 1.5688 and possibly even 1.5479 if minor resistance at 1.6009 is able to protect the upside.

Trading recommendation:

Our stop at 1.5850 was taken out.We will only buy on a break above 1.6009 and place our stop just below the lowest price seen.

Technical analysis of USD/JPY for December 02, 2015

The USD/JPY pair is expected to trade with a bullish bias. The bias remains bullish.Overnight, the US stock indices closed higher with an end-of-session rally. Rising shares were noted in the health care equipment, software and pharmaceutical sectors. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1.0% to 17888, the S&P 500 gained 1.1% to 2102, while the Nasdaq Composite was up by 0.9% to 5156. Nymex crude oil settled up 0.5% at $41.85 a barrel, gold was up another 0.5% to $1,069 an ounce, and the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield edged down to 2.155% from 2.220% at the previous session.

Meanwhile, the US dollar declined further as the November ISM Manufacturing Index came in at 48.6 (vs 50.5 expected, 50.1 in October). The Wall Street Journal Dollar Index dropped 0.5% to 90.45. EUR/USD rose 0.6% to 1.0631 and NZD/USD surged 1.4% to 0.6670.

The AUD/USD pair gained 1.3% to 0.7321 overnight, while this morning the Australian government reported that the country's 3Q GDP rose 2.5% year-on-year (vs rise of 2.4% expected) and 0.9% seasonally-adjusted on-quarter (0.8% gain expected). The pair underwent a choppy session yesterday and finally located at the key support of 122.75. It is currently trading above the 20-period intraday (30-minute chart) moving average, while the relative strength index is around the neutrality level of 50 lacking downward momentum. The intraday outlook remains bullish, and the first upside target is set at 123.20 (around yesterday's high) and the second one at 123.35 (around the high of November 30).

Trading recommendations:

The pair is trading above its pivot point. It is likely to trade in a wider range as long as it remains above its pivot point. As long as the price holds above its pivot point, long positions are recommended with the first target at 123.35 and the second target at 123.60. In the alternative scenario, short positions are recommended with the first target at 122.50 if the price moves below its pivot points. A break of this target is likely to push the pair further downwards, and one may expect the second target at 122.25. The pivot point is at 122.75.

Resistance levels: 123.35 123.60 124

Technical analysis of NZD/USD for December 01, 2015

NZD/USD is expected to trade with a bullish bias. Currently trading at 0.6622, the pair is still in an uptrend, but is approaching its key resistance at 0.6645 (around the high of November 26). A test should take place before any further advance. The 20-period and 50-period moving averages are still heading upwards without showing any reversal signal. Besides, the relative strength index is positive calling for a new rise. Hence, above 0.6565 look for 0.6645 and 0.6670 as our targets.

Trading recommendations:

The pair is trading above its pivot point. It is likely to trade in a wider range as long as it remains above its pivot point. As long as the price holds above its pivot point, long positions are recommended with the first target at 0.6645 and the second target at 0.6670. In the alternative scenario, short positions are recommended with the first target at 0.6540 if the price moves below its pivot points. A break of this target is likely to push the pair further downwards, and one may expect the second target at 0.6510. The pivot point is at 0.6565.

Technical analysis of GBP/JPY for November 26, 2015

GBP/JPY is expected to trade in a higher range as a bias remains bullish. The pair is posting a rebound after testing the key support at 184.90 overnight. It is currently trading around both the 20- and 50-period moving averages. And the relative strength index is staying above the neutrality level at 50. The intraday outlook continues to be bullish with the first upside target being set at 186 and the second one at 186.55.

Trading recommendations:

The pair is trading above its pivot point. It is likely to trade in a wider range as long as it remains above its pivot point. As long as the price holds above its pivot point, long positions are recommended with the first target at 186 and the second target at 186.55. In the alternative scenario, short positions are recommended with the first target at 184.30 if the price moves below its pivot points. A break of this target is likely to push the pair further downwards, and one may expect the second target at 183.85. The pivot point is at 184.90.

Resistance levels: 186 186.55 187

Support levels: 184.30 183.85 183
