Technical analysis of GBP/JPY for December 27, 2016

GBP/JPY is under pressure.

The pair has been capped by both 20-period and 50-period moving averages, while the relative strength index stays below 50.The pair holds below 144.50 and remains capped by a negative trend line. Meanwhile, the relative strength index lacks upward momentum. As long as 144.50 is not broken above, a break below 143.20 is likely.

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. Therefore, long positions are recommended with the first target at 143.20 and the second one at 142.80. In the alternative scenario, short positions are recommended with the first target at 144.95 if the price moves below its pivot point. A break of this target is likely to push the pair further downwards, and one may expect the second target at 145.30. The pivot point lies at 144.50.

Resistance levels: 144.95, 145.30, 145.50
Support levels: 143.20, 142.80, 140.15

Elliott wave analysis of EUR/JPY for December 28, 2016

analytics5863577143407.png


Wave summary:

The failure to break below support at 122.01 and the following break above resistance at 122.78 shifted the count in favor of the running triangle. This triangle consolidation is now complete and wave (v) higher toward 126.54 is now unfolding.

Short-term support is seen at 122.99 and then at 122.63, but we doubt that the later will be tested before the next rally higher to 124.09 and then to 126.54.

Trading recommendation:
Our stop+revers at 122.85 was hit and we are now long EUR from 122.85. Stop will be placed at 122.10 and take profit+revers will be placed at 126.25.

USD/CAD intraday technical levels and trading recommendations for January 10, 2017

On August 18, signs of bullish recovery were manifested around the price level of 1.2830 which led to the current bullish breakout above 1.3000.

The USD/CAD pair was trapped between the price levels of 1.3000 (61.8% Fibonacci level) and 1.3360 (50% Fibonacci level) until a bullish breakout took place one month ago.

Note that the USD/CAD pair challenged the upper limit of the depicted channel around 1.3360-1.3400 which succeeded to apply enough bearish pressure on the pair.

Shortly after, a bearish engulfing weekly candlestick was expressed by the end of the week indicating strong resistance around 1.3550.

Bearish persistence below the price level of 1.3300 (50% Fibonacci Level) was achieved. This allowed a further decline toward 1.3200 and 1.3080 (the lower limit of the depicted channel) where bullish rejection was expressed as anticipated.

A bullish breakout above 1.3360 (50% Fibonacci level) allows a bullish movement toward 1.3700-1.3750 (the upper limit of the depicted channel) where bearish rejection should be expected.

On the other hand, the current bearish pullback toward 1.3300 - 1.3250 (50% Fibonacci Level) should be watched for bullish rejection and a possible BUY entry. S/L should be placed below 1.3170.

Technical analysis of USD/CHF for January 12, 2017

USDCHFM30.png


USD/CHF is under pressure. The pair broke below its 20-period and 50-period moving averages and is consolidated on the downside. The declining 20-period moving average crossed below the 50-period one, which is negative. The relative strength index is below its neutrality level at 50 and lacks upward momentum.

The U.S. dollar turned to the downside in a volatile session as traders found that Trump offered little clarity on economic stimulus plans during his closely watched news conference. The ICE U.S. Dollar Index surged up to 102.95 before the news conference but reversed course and dived to 101.28, its lowest intraday level since December 14, before settling at 101.78, down 0.2% on day.

As long as 1.0160 is resistance, look for a further drop toward 1.0110 and even 1.0090 in extension.

Resistance levels: 1.0180, 1.0200, 1.0220
Support levels: 1.0100, 1.0090, 1.0055

Technical analysis of USD/JPY for January 16, 2017

USD/JPY is Under pressure. The pair pulled back last Friday, and is now testing its nearest support at 114.00. The risk of a slide below this level remains high, as the relative strength index is badly directed, without showing any reversal signals.

The U.S. dollar showed some signs of rebounding energy upon the release of economic data. However, the upward momentum proved unsustainable. The ICE U.S. Dollar Index finally ended at 101.18 (day-high at 101.67), down 0.2% on day and extending its losing streak to a third session.

In which case, as long as 114.80 holds on the upside, further decline seems to be on the cards toward 113.75 (Jan 12 low).

Recommendation:
The pair is trading below its pivot point. It is likely to trade in a lower range as long as it remains below the pivot point. Short positions are recommended with the first target at 113.75. A break below this target will move the pair further downwards to 113.40. The pivot point stands at 114.65. If the price moves in the opposite direction and bounces back from the support level, it will move above its pivot point. It is likely to move further to the upside. According to that scenario, long positions are recommended with the first target at 115.20 and the second one at 115.65.

Resistance levels: 115.20, 156.65, 116.05
Support levels: 113.75, 113.40, 113.00

Elliott wave analysis of EUR/NZD for January 17, 2017

Wave summary:
We continue to look for evidence that the double zig-zag correction from 1.5235 is complete. The first solid evidence, will be a break above minor resistance at 1.5007, while a break above resistance at 1.5193 confirms that the wave iii/ higher toward 1.5837 and above longer term has taken over. That said, we have to acknowledge the risk of a third zig-zag unfolding. If this is the case, then more downside toward 1.4778 could be seen before the next impulsive rally finally takes over.

R3: 1.5193
R2: 1.5050
R1: 1.5007
Pivot: 1.4895
S1: 1.4841
S2: 1.4810
S3: 1.4778

Trading recommendation:
We will only buy a break above 1.500
