Copper stays strong
We had
measured a Fibonacci retracement on copper from the high at the 243.71 level to
the low at the 200.17 level. After copper made a low at the 200.17 level, it
stalled there and started to consolidate. On the last few days the commodity
has stayed above the 23.6% Fibo, around the 210.53 level. If the price
continues rallying, then the 38.2% Fibo, around the 216.84 level could act as
its next resistance. To the downside, the 203.46 could act once again as a
support in case the price falls again to that zone.

The Pound versus the Yen keeps its bearish trend
The GBP/JPY
breaks below the 180.00 level and keeps its bearish trend from a few weeks
back. The drop stalls momentarily at the 179.00 level, but it could keep
falling towards the 178.00 level, which could also act as support. Above the
180.00 level we have a few round number levels which could act as resistance,
but the most important one is the zone between the 183.00 and the 184.00
levels.

EUR/JPY: Pullback to the 200 EMA on the 4 hour chart
The 200
period exponential moving average or 200 EMA could work as a good support or
resistance zona, especially on the higher time frames like the 4 hour chart. On
the 4 hour chart of the EUR/JPY we can see that after it broke below the 200
EMA to the downside, it has now retraced back to it and the EMA may act as a
resistance from where the price may try to bounce to the downside. Above the
200 EMA, the 133.00 level may also act as resistance. Below the 132.00 level,
the 133.00 could act as support.
Friday, December 18, 2015
The Euro versus the Yen bounces from the 131.00 level
The Euro
versus the Yen has reached the round number level of the 131.00, as we can see
on the daily chart and bounces from that level to the upside. If the price
continues retracing to the upside, the 132.00 could act as resistance, but
above the 132, the 133.00 or the 200 day exponential moving average, around the
134.43 level could also act as resistance. During next week, the price could
continue falling and the pair could try to go and visit the 129.67 low.

76.4% Fibo retracement on the AUD/USD
After the
AUD/USD rallied from the 0.7016 to the 0.7384, the pair started to retrace to
the downside with some volatility and reaches the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement
where it was consolidating during the last few days. However, today we see that
the bearish momentum comes in again and the pair breaks below the 61.8% Fibo to
reach the 76.4% Fibo, around the 0.7102 where it has stalled momentarily. From
this point the price may try to retrace to the 50% Fibo around the 0.7199, but
if it breaks to the downside its next support level could be the low at the
0.7016 level from where it started rising.

EUR/USD: Volatile, but the consolidation continues
Today we
had the Federal Reserve’s announcement out of the US, where the central bank
has raised its interest rates by 25 basis points as expected. The Euro versus
the Dollar became very volatile after the announcement and tried to break below
the 1.0900 and above the 1.1000 level, but then it settled around the 1.0900
level again. On the daily chart we can see that the 55 day exponential moving
average (purple line) is around the 1.0900 level and continues acting as a good
support. The direction of the pair now depends on the future fundamentals from
the United States and the Eurozone. In order for the pair to break below the
1.0900 level, the US fundamentals must come out a lot better than expected and
in order for it to break above the 1.1000 level, the Eurozone fundamentals must
also come out a lot better than expected.
Tuesday, December 15, 2015
EUR/CAD: Bounce from the 76.4% Fibo
The Euro
versus the Canadian Dollar has suffered a drop from the 1.5561 to the 1.4024,
but during the last couple of weeks the pair has been retracing to the upside
and it has reached the 76.4% Fibonacci retracement as shown on the daily chart.
The 76.4% Fibo could act as a good support or resistance zone and that is why
we are seeing the price stall at that level and goes back to the 61.8% Fibo,
around the 1.4971 level. If the pair continues dropping, then its next support
could be the 38.2% Fibo, around the 1.4609 level. To the upside, the 76.4% Fibo
could continue acting as a resistance, but if it breaks that level to the
upside, then its next resistance could be the 1.5561 level from where it
started dropping.
Monday, December 14, 2015
GBP/JPY: Good resistance at the 183.00 level
The Pound
versus the Yen drops below Friday’s low around the 183.55 level and breaks
below the 183.00 level. The price came very close to the 182.00 level, but it
couldn’t reach that level. On the 15 minute chart of the GBP/JPY we can see
that after the price broke below the 183.00 level, it made a few pullbacks to that
level, but it could pass above it. It clearly shows that the 183.00 has been
acting as a good resistance, but a head and shoulders pattern may be
developing, which means that if completed, the price may change direction to
the upside. To the downside, the 182.00 may act as its next support.
Friday, December 11, 2015
AUD/USD: Another attempt towards the 61.8% Fibo
Yesterday
the Australian Dollar rallied versus the US Dollar, pushed by the better than
expected readings on the Australian labor sector, but today we see that the
pair has fallen again rapidly and it is trying to reach the 61.8% Fibonacci
retracement of the move from the 0.7016 level to the 0.7384. The 61.8% Fibo is
around the 0.7156 level and if the price visits that level, it may try to
bounce from that zone to the upside. Below the 61.8% Fibo, the 76.4% may also
act as a support. To the upside, the 23.6% may act as a resistance in case the
price goes back up.

The Nikkei at the 200 day EMA
The Nikkei
index has been in a downtrend lately, being hurt in part by the weak Chinese fundamentals
and a global economic slowdown. Today the index has dropped to the 200 day
exponential moving average, around the round number level of the 19000. The
combination of the 200 day EMA and the round number level may cause this area
to act as a good support and the index may try to bounce to the upside.
However, the fundamentals must help the technical in order to see a change in
direction on the index. If the Nikkei breaks below the 200 day EMA, then the
18668 level may act as its next support. To the upside, the lower line of the
channel at the 19709 level may act as resistance in case we see a bullish
bounce.
Tuesday, December 8, 2015
The EUR/USD goes back to the 1.0900 level
The EUR/USD
made a low yesterday on the 1.0800 level and from there it bounce to the
upside, all the way to the 1.0900 level, as seen on the 30 minute chart. At the
1.0900 level, the pair may find some resistance, but the bullish momentum is
still in place. Since the price has already visited the zone three times and
each visit is getting closer to each other, that could be an indication of a
possible bullish breakout. In case the price breaks to the upside, the 1.1000
could be its next target for the pair. A bounce to the downside from the 1.0900
level could take the price back down to the 1.0800.
Monday, December 7, 2015
Inverted Head and Shoulders pattern on the EUR/USD 15 min
The
inverted Head and Shoulders pattern is a bullish reversal formation that
usually appear at a key support level. On the EUR/USD 15 minute chart we can
see that during today’s session, the price dropped below Friday’s low and
touched the 1.0800 level from where it bounces to the upside. Around the 1.0800
level we can see three troughs the form the Head and Shoulders pattern. The
Neckline is the upper trendline that is broken to the upside, from there the
bullish momentum accelerates and the price breaks above Friday’s low. Form the
current levels, the price may continue rallying, but it may also dropped once
again, trying to visit the 1.0800 which could act as support.
Friday, December 4, 2015
Oil breaks below the 40.00 level
Even though
light crude oil retraced yesterday to the upside, the 41.19 level has acted as
a resistance and today oil bounces to the downside and breaks below the 40.00
level to make a daily low around the 39.59 level. Amid the latest meetings by
the OPEC members, there are no real fundamental reasons for oil to stage a
sustainable rally and that is why it remains weak. Below the 40.00 level, the
39.00 level could act as its next support. To the upside, the 41.19 level could
continue acting as resistance.
Thursday, December 3, 2015
EUR/GBP: Visits the 200 day EMA
The 200 day
exponential moving average or EMA, could act as a good support or resistance
zone, especially when the price suddenly visits the moving average after a
prolonged drop or rally. The Euro strengthens versus its main counterparts
after the European Central Bank failed to provide enough economic stimuli as
the market was anticipating. That is why we can see on the daily chart of the
EUR/GBP that the price reaches the 200 day EMA (blue line), around the 0.7244
level, which coincides with the 50% Fibonacci retracement of the recent drop
and stalls there. It is possible for that EMA to act as resistance and the
price may try to bounce to the 55 day EMA (purple line), around the 0.7143
level, which could act as support. Above the 50% Fibo, the 61.8% Fibo could
also act as resistance in case the price continues going higher, especially
when it is just around the 0.7300 round number level.
Wednesday, December 2, 2015
Oil reaches the 40.00 level
The January
contract on light sweet crude oil has reached the 40.00 level. A few days ago
we saw the possibility of seeing oil reach that level and today it has done so.
At this level, oil may try to stall or bounce to the upside, but the bearish
momentum is still in place and it could try to go lower towards the 37.73
level, since there are no strong fundamental reasons for oil to rally for now.
To the upside, the 41.19 level could act as a temporary resistance, above that
level, the 44.00 level could act as its next resistance.

Head and Shoulders pattern on the Kiwi
The New
Zealand Dollar versus the US Dollar has formed what it appears to be an
inverted Head and Shoulders pattern on the daily chart. By breaking above the
55 day exponential moving average (purple line), the price has also broken
above the pattern’s neckline or confirmation line. At the moment the price is
trying to retrace a little bit, but that is normal in this type of formations.
The price may continue higher and the 200 day exponential moving average,
around the 0.6803 level may act as its next resistance.
Monday, November 30, 2015
The Kiwi remains range-bound
The New
Zealand Dollar versus the US Dollar has stayed in a range between the 0.6500 as
support and the 55 day exponential moving average (purple line), around the
0.6577 as resistance. Today was an up day for the pair but it still couldn’t
break above the 55 day EMA, as shown on the daily chart. A breakout above the
55 day EMA could make the price gain some bullish momentum and its next
resistance could be the 200 day EMA (blue line), around the 0.6800 level. To
the downside, its first support below the 0.6500 level could be the 0.6428
level. Below the low at the 0.6428, its next support could be the 0.6236 level.

Gasoline: Consolidation on the weekly chart
The January
gasoline contract on the weekly chart has been going sideways, coinciding with
the current consolidation on crude oil. If during the next month the price
breaks to the upside above the resistance around the 1.5040 level, then
gasoline may try to go and visit its 55 week exponential moving average (purple
line), around the 1.7461 level, which could act as its next resistance.
Regardless of the current consolidation, the price keeps a slight bearish
slope, therefore it could also try to break below the 1.2021 level. If it does
break below the 1.2021 level, then the 1.1000 level may act as its next
support.

Pivot Points, The turning levels of Price
The word “pivot”
means a turning point. The pivot points indicator was initially used by Futures
pit traders to increase their probability of entering in an instrument when it
was about to change direction. Today, we don’t longer need a piece of paper
with the pivot point levels written on them like those traders in the past
needed to have. With the trading platform we can get a better visual
understanding of the pivot point levels and we can trade more easily off those
levels. ActivTrades has created a pivot point indicator that can be installed
on your MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5 trading platform. By having the pivot
points drawn directly on the charts, we can trade either the bounces or
breakouts of those levels and we don’t need to do any calculations, the
platform automatically gives us day by day the new pivot points. To download
the indicator please visit:

The GBP/JPY breaks below its bullish channel
The Pound
versus the Yen was inside a well-formed bullish channel on the daily chart, but
during the past two days it has broken below it and below the 200 day
exponential moving average (blue line), around the 185.94 level. Even though
the price corrects to the upside during today´s session, that could just be a
retracement to continue falling. If the price continues falling, then the
184.00 could act as its next support. In case the price breaks above the 200
day exponential moving average, then its next resistance could be the 187.00.

Bullish pullback on corn
The corn
contract for December has made a low around the 355.24 level from where it has
been pulling back to the upside as seen on the daily chart. The current
pullback could provide us with an opportunity to enter short, but the question
now is up to what point the price may retrace. The stochastics are close to
reaching the over-bought area. If the stochastics reach the over-bought zone at
the same time that the price reaches the 200 day exponential moving average
around the 379.89 level, we could wait for a bounce from there for a potential
short entry. For now, we just have to wait for the price to continue retracing
and break above the current 364.00 level.

The Kiwi finds a good resistance on the 55 day EMA
Since
Thursday of last week, the NZD/USD reached the 55 day exponential moving
average (purple line), around the 0.6582 where it has stalled and bounces back
to the downside during today´s session. On the same daily chart we can see that
the pair has actually stayed in a bearish channel and it is possible to see the
price falling back down. To the downside, the 0.6428 could act as support, but
if the price breaks above the upper trendline of the channel, then the 200 day
exponential moving average, around the 0.6822 level could act as resistance.
Friday, November 20, 2015
Gold: It consolidates, but keeps its bearish trend
After
making a low around the 1063 level, gold stalls its fall during the last two
days and it is going sideways as we can see on the daily chart. The 55 day
exponential moving average (purple line), around the 1122 level could act as a
resistance in case the price retraces to the upside. However, fundamentally
there are no reasons yet for gold to rally, unless the Dollar weakens or the
risk aversion increases in the markets for any reason. The 1063 level could
continue acting as support, but the probability of seeing a breakdown is high.
Thursday, November 19, 2015
NZD/USD: Resistance at the 55 day EMA
The 55 day
exponential moving average or EMA could act as a good support or resistance
zone on some occasions. On the daily chart of the New Zealand Dollar versus the
US Dollar we can see that the pair has kept a good bearish trend and it has stayed
within a channel. But after the price broke below the 55 day EMA (purple line) and
made a low at the 0.6428 level, the pair rallies again to the 55 day EMA where
it stalls at the moment. That level of the 0.6582, where the 55 day EMA is
located could have the price bounce to the downside. However, the pair may also
break above the 55 day EMA and if that happens, then the 200 day EMA (blue
line) at the 0.6830 level could act as its next resistance.
Wednesday, November 18, 2015
Copper at six year lows
Copper
continues with its bearish trend, but at the moment it seems like it is finding
some support at the 206.62 level. Due to the fact that the bearish trend is
still strong, the price of copper could fall towards the 202.00 level, which
could act as a temporary support. Likewise, due to the big drop, we could see a
bullish pullback and the commodity could try to go and visit the 220.17 zone,
which has acted as a support in the past and now it could act as a resistance.
Tuesday, November 17, 2015
Gasoline continues falling
The
gasoline contract for December continues falling and it is currently
consolidating just below the 55 period exponential moving average on the one
hour chart (purple line), after it made a low for today around the 1.2021.
Besides the 55 hour exponential moving average, the 1.2545 level has been
acting as a good resistance, but a breakout of that level could cause the price
of gasoline to retrace to the upside towards the 200 hour exponential moving
average (blue line), around the 1.3018 level. To the downside, the 1.2021 level
may continue acting as a support.
Monday, November 16, 2015
The EUR/USD breaks below the 1.0700 level
The Euro
versus the Dollar started the session weak after the Paris attacks on Friday
and drops below the 1.0700 level as seen on the daily chart. But the attacks on
Paris are not the strongest reason of why the Euro has been dropping. In
reality, the Euro remains weak, because of the divergence in monetary policies
between the European Central Bank and the Federal Reserve. This week’s
fundamentals could be key to the future direction of the pair. Tomorrow we have
the ZEW economic sentiment out of Germany and the inflation numbers out of the
US. If the inflation in the US has risen, then the FED could have another
reason to raise interest rates and the EUR/USD could continue falling towards
the 1.0600 level.

Gold seems to be heading lower
Gold has
been consolidating during the last few day, as we can see on the daily chart,
but today the precious metal has made a lower low, indicating that it remains
weak and it could continue falling. Due to the fact that the Dollar and gold
have a negative correlation, if the Dollar continues strengthening during this
week, gold may reach the support level at the 1070 zone. To the upside, the
1098 level could act as resistance, but if it breaks that level, it may retrace
to the 1115 zone.
Tuesday, November 10, 2015
The Dow Jones keeps its bullish trend
The Dow
Jones index seems to be resting for today and the daily candle is forming what
it appears to be a “doji” formation. That doji could indicate some exhaustion
of the recent rally, but the uptrend is still in place. In case the index
breaks to the downside the bullish trendline that we see on the daily chart, it
could try to go and visit the 200 day exponential moving average, around the
17280 level, which could act as support. To the upside, the 17909 level could
act as resistance, but above that level, the 18078 could also act as
resistance.
Monday, November 9, 2015
The Pound keeps its bearish trend
The Pound
versus the Dollar retraces above the 1.5100 level, but its bearish trend is
still in place. The pair may try to fall to the 1.5000 level, which could act
as its next support. To the upside, the 1.5200 level could act as resistance,
but we don’t have real strong fundamentals to merit a rally above current
levels. The pair has been respecting the round number levels, therefore it pays
to be attentive of those zones for possible entry opportunities.
Friday, November 6, 2015
Big rally on the Dollar after the NFP numbers
Today we
had the highly anticipated Non-Farm Payrolls number out of the US. The reading
of new jobs created for the month on October came out much better than
expected, causing the Dollar to rally versus its major peers. It was forecasted
a reading of 180K new jobs, but the reading actually came out at 271K new jobs.
The unemployment rate fell from 5.1% to 5% and the average hourly wages rose
0.4% when the forecasted was a rise of 0.2%. The numbers clearly came out way
better than expected, and actually this has been the best reading since 2009.
The Dollar index broke above the 98.39, but if it retraces, that level could
act as support. Its next resistance could be the 100.28.
Thursday, November 5, 2015
The Russian Ruble stays in a bearish channel
The
Dollar versus the Russian Ruble on the daily chart has been consolidating
around the 55 period exponential moving average, around the 63.57, but in the
longer term we can see that the pair has formed a bearish channel. The price
stays within that channel and it could try to head lower. If the price drops
from the current levels, then the 200 day exponential moving average, around
the 59.07 level could act as support. If the price breaks the upper trendline
of the channel, then the pair may change direction, but in order for that to
happen the Dollar would have to strengthen with the upcoming US fundamentals.
Wednesday, November 4, 2015
EUR/JPY: Bearish breakdown of symmetrical triangle
On Monday
we identified a symmetrical triangle on the Euro versus the Yen, daily chart.
Today we can see that the price has broken below the triangle and the formation
has acted as a continuation pattern. At the moment the price has reached the
132.00 level, which could act as a support, but if it breaks that level to the
downside, then the bearish momentum may accelerate and it may try to go and
reach the 131.00 level. To the upside, the 133.00 could act as resistance, but
above that level, the 135.00 could be an even stronger resistance.
Tuesday, November 3, 2015
Bullish flag on the Kiwi
The “Bullish
Flag” is a continuation pattern that forms at the end of an uptrend. The
pattern forms when the price consolidates after a bullish run and starts going
sideways, but with a slight slope to the downside. On the daily chart of the
New Zealand Dollar versus the US Dollar we can see that once the price touched
the 200 day exponential moving average (blue line), it started correcting to
the downside and creating what we call a bullish flag. Today the price breaks
below the 0.6700 level and it is close to touching the 55 day exponential
moving average (purple line), which is just above the 0.6600 level. The 55 day
EMA may act as a support and the price may try to bounce to the upside from
there, but if it breaks that zone to the downside, then the bullish flag would
be invalidated and the price may try to go and reach the 0.6500 level. To the
upside, the 0.6800 may act as a resistance, but the 200 day EMA may act as a
stronger resistance on the Kiwi.
Monday, November 2, 2015
Symmetrical triangle on the EUR/JPY
The Euro
versus the Yen on the daily chart has been oscillating between the 133.00 and
the 132.00. During that consolidation, the price has formed what it appears to
be a “symmetrical triangle”. The Triangle formations usually act as
continuation patterns, meaning that the price continues in the direction where
it was coming from coming into the formation, but in reality the price may
break out in any direction. If the price breaks to the downside, then the
131.00 level could act as support. If the price breaks to the upside, then the
135.00 level could act as resistance.

Incredible rally on light crude oil
The
December contract for light crude oil rallied for today to the 46.00 zone after
the oil inventories came out lower than expected. This has caused traders to
close their short positions rapidly, causing a short squeeze. At the moment,
the 46.00 level may act as a resistance and oil may try to bounce from that
level to the downside, especially because the 55 day exponential moving average
is very close to that zone. If the price bounces to the downside, then the
44.00 level may act as support. To the upside, if the price breaks above the
46.00 level, then the bullish momentum may accelerate and oil could go and
visit the 50.00 level once again.
Tuesday, October 27, 2015
EUR/JPY: Possible breakdown below the 133.00 level
The Euro
versus the Yen has come back to its bearish trend amid a rise in risk aversion,
which has caused the Yen to strengthen. At the moment, the pair is trying to
break below the 133.00 round number level and if the breakdown is confirmed
then we could see a visit to the 132.00 level. To the upside, if the price goes
back above the 133.00, then the 134.00 could act as its next resistance.
Monday, October 26, 2015
Possible breakdown from the 44.00 level on light crude
The 44.00
level has been a very good support for light crude oil since the end of August
and even though the price has tried to break it to the downside, it has always
bounced back to the upside. However, oil has had a very good sustainable
downtrend as we can see on the daily chart and it is possible that this time
the price is falling with enough force to break below the 44.00 level. If the
44.00 level is breached to the downside, then the bearish momentum may
accelerate and the price may try to go and visit the 40.00 level. But if the
price bounces from the 44.00 to the upside, then the 46.00 may act as a
resistance.
Friday, October 23, 2015
The USD/CHF reaches a resistance zone
The Dollar
has been strengthening versus the Swiss Franc due to the fact that if the
European Central Bank expands its economic stimulus, then most probably the
Swiss National Bank would have to lower its interest rates even more, which are
currently already in negative territory. The 0.9800 level could act as a
resistance as we can see on the daily chart and from there the price may try to
bounce to the downside. However, if the price breaks above that level, then the
next round number level of the 0.9900 could act as resistance. To the downside,
the 200 day exponential moving average around the 0.9572 level could act as
support.

Platinum keeps its bullish trend
Even though
the commodities sector has been in a downtrend, platinum has kept a very good
bullish trend as we can see on the daily chart. During the last few days,
platinum has taken a break after hitting a high at the 1023.87 level, but this consolidation
could just be a resting point to continue going higher. If it breaks above the
1023.87 level, the price may find some resistance at the 1035.85. There is also
the probability of seeing a retracement to the downside, therefore if the price
breaks below the 997.46, the bearish momentum may accelerate.

Volatility with no direction on the EUR/USD
The Euro
versus the Dollar has stayed inside a range between the 1.1300 level as support
and the 1.1400 as resistance. The lack of fundamental announcements from the
Eurozone and from the US has kept the pair much undecided. Tomorrow we have the
European Central Bank meeting and speech and probably investors and traders are
waiting for this information before taking any bets on the EUR/USD. Even though
during the last few days we can see a consolidation on the daily chart, we have
actually detected a breakdown of the last bullish trend. However, the price may
try to go back up and if it breaks above the 1.1400 level, it may try to go and
visit the 1.1500. Below the 1.1300, its next important support could be the
1.1200 level.

Oil keeps its bearish momentum
Oil keeps
its downtrend and has entered again the previous consolidation area below its
55 day exponential moving average (purple line). At the moment, crude may find
some support at the 45.69 zone, but if it breaks that level to the downside,
then it may try to go and visit the 44.00. To the upside, the 50.00 level may
continue acting as a resistance.

Good resistance on the Mexican Peso
The Mexican
Peso along with most of the emerging market currencies has been suffering strong
drops versus the Dollar, but on the 4 hour chart of the USD/MXN we can see how
the Dollar has been losing strength versus the Mexican Peso and it seems like
it has formed a bearish channel. The pair has made some bullish retracements
inside the channel, but the 55 period exponential moving average (purple line),
has acted as a good resistance. That is why now that the price is visiting once
again that moving average, it may act as a resistance and the price may try to
bounce to the downside. If the price bounces to the downside, then the low at
the 16.32 level may act as a support. If it breaks to the upside, the 200
period exponential moving average (blue line), may act as a resistance.

Copper retraces to the downside during today’s session
Copper has
had a good uptrend for the last few weeks as we can see on the daily chart of
the December contract. During the last few days it has stay consolidated just
above the 55 day exponential moving average (purple line), which has acted as a
good support. Today we see that the price has retraced to that moving average,
but it could continue rallying. If the price continues rallying then its next
resistance could be the 249.31 level. Above the 249.31 level, its next
resistance could be the 200 day exponential moving average (blue line) at the
257.56. If it breaks below the bullish trendline, then its next support could
be the low at the 222.66 level.

Follow-up on the “Rising Wedge” of corn
A few days
ago we identified a Rising Wedge formation on the daily chart of corn and we
said that it would probably take it a few more days before breaking to the
downside. However, today we see that the price has broken below the lower
trendline of the rising wedge and the bearish momentum may accelerate from this
point on. The target of the rising wedge is the lowest level of the formation,
meaning the low at the 345.54 level. Even though the price may do some
retracements along the way, it is possible for the price to reach that level.
If the price goes back inside the formation, then the pattern will be
invalidated and the 399.50 level could act as resistance.
