Forex News from New Forex: Technical analysis of EUR/USD

 

On Tuesday, the trades proceed with reduction in price as it has been proceeding during the previous trading days since the beginning of last week — on February 6. Among the market participants bearish moods prevail. Therefore, the single European currency loses in price. On the four-hour chart, the quotation left much below than the moving averages with the period of 20 and 55 days. Now the relative marks at 1.0583 and 1.0636 serve as the levels of support and resistance. It is to be recalled that today according to the chart the publication of macroeconomic indicators for both euro and the greenback is necessary. We expect the news on the consumer price index, GDP and Purchasing Managers’ Index of Germany, the Consumer price index and a price index of Switzerland producers, GDP of Italy, and at last GDP of all Eurozone with the Index of industrial production. We expect the similar data to give serious support to the single European currency. The technical structure of the market differs with an obvious bearish spirit. The MACD histogram stays deeply in a negative zone but it doesn’t create an accurate signal as well as the Stochastic oscillator. Thus, we prefer to stay out of this market until the warring parties force clarification.

On Tuesday, the trades proceed with a moderate bullish spirit of the market participants and advance in price within the current levels of support at 1.2478 and resistance at 1.2585. The quotations appeared in the corner slightly higher than the moving averages with the period of 20 and 55. However, warring parties force hasn’t determined yet. On the four-hour chart the MACD histogram reduced to the central line and it progresses along its own axis without giving any accurate signals. The Stochastic oscillator is close to an overbought zone and it created a sale signal as the %К line is higher than the %D line. However, this signal can be false and premature. It should be noted that today at 12:30 Moscow time (9:30 GMT) the publication of macroeconomic data on Great Britain is planned including the line on index of the producer’s price and on the Consumer price index. So it can give a serious support to sterling, we also expect it in order to make the investment decisions.

Forex News from New Forex: Technical analysis of USD/JPY

 

Since the beginning of January, the greenback has been losing its positions against the Japan national currency and it was only last week that the greenback began to increase, having invertedly developed its trend movement. In such a manner, now on the four-hour chart we observe the moving averages with the period of 20 and 55 which increased, intercrossed and tend to be growing now. The price chart appeared in the corner above the moving averages. On Tuesday, the pair is traded within the current levels of support at 113.37 and resistance at 113.86. In the short term, the MACD histogram stays in a positive zone that indicates the collected ascending potential. Today it gives a sale signal for transactions. The Stochastic oscillator decreases and creates a similar signal as the %К line is lower than the %D line.

Since the beginning of the current month, we can observe the greenback strengthening against the Swiss national currency. The market is impregnated with bullish mood of its participants and the trades on Tuesday didn’t become an exception. The price grows in a four-hour timeframe. The chart rose to the corner above the moving averages with the period of 20 and 55 days, indicating serious bullish market potential. Meanwhile the quotations remain within the current levels of support at 1.0013 and resistance at 1.0061 but it is necessary to notice that today the release of macroeconomic data on the Consumer price index is expected just like the Price index of producers and import of Switzerland. It can give a good support to franc. However, the technical structure of the market on the four-hour chart is obviously bearish one. The MACD histogram fell below the signal line and it gives a sale signal, the Stochastic oscillator has also created a similar signal as the %К line is lower than the %D line.

Fundamental analysis from New Forex: Europe

 

Concerns in the relation of the European Union prospects disintegration are condensed that led to growth of the British pound against common currency today against the background of the thin political skirmish and mutual threats recognizing Germany and also London that not in a smaller measure was promoted by the growing prospects of a victory of the anti globalist and anti-allied candidate at presidential elections in France. The European regulators emphasize a number of powerful concerns which can damage the economy of Great Britain in the medium term having torn off the channels of economic growth connected with a financial intermediation which were traditionally provided from London. At the same time, economists of City and many politicians are sure that competent reforms will steadily influence development of Britain even more in the long term as financial center in the region. The British pound strengthened at the level of 1.1817 against euro which staying in defensive positions against most of main competitors while the Swiss franc got insignificant support because of the weakened interest in risk and the growing attention of investors in the relation of hedging instruments. The European commission emphasizes in the forecast that the economic growth of Britain will be slowed down to 1.5% this year and 1.2% in the following in comparison with two-percent growth in 2016. And perhaps it is necessary to expect that exchange of «pricks» will only increase as the prospects of disintegration of the Union become stronger that can reflect adversely by no means on sovereign economies in the European region.

The outcome of the RBA rate statement earlier this month was widely expected to be unchanged. The rate remained at 1.5%. Price did little in this regard, trying hard to break above 0.77. Hence, we think the bullish momentum will get exhausted soon. We noticed the emergence of an impulse wave on the big hourly charts. Learn more from my technical view based on 14 February AUDUSD Elliott wave forecast: http://atozforex.com/news/14-february-audusd-elliott-wave-forecast-emerging-impulse-wave/

Fundamental analysis from New Forex: The Asia-Pacific region

 

Trade reflation pushes shares to the highest historical levels of last weeks worldwide but today regional growth is limited as the Japanese yen jumped up and sovereign bonds of Japan grew for the first time during last five days. Investors began to doubt that regional indexes will continue to punch historical maxima further. World shares extended at more than for $70 trillion after Trump was elected as the U.S. President. At the same time, the official data testimonial of inflation strengthening allow to raise interest rates with complete confidence that not only American but also the economy of emerging markets will sustain the next increases without threat of considerable capital outflow. Yesterday’s data showed revaluation of monetary policy toughening prospects from U.S. Fed to 42% from 30% declared two days ago. The dollar index lighting the American’s rate against the main trade weighed competitors fell to 100.92 while the Australian dollar was one of leaders of today’s growth having strengthened against the majority of principal currencies despite contradictory data from the labor market. Earlier the Japanese yen grew by 0.3% to 113.87 against US dollar having lost 0.9% on Wednesday.

Fundamental analysis from New Forex: Europe

 

The European stock indexes grow thanks to positive dynamics in the banking sector including France where one of the largest commercial banks and at the same time one of the most scandalous grew almost by 5% having shown the favorable reporting for the last quarter of the last year. And also due to the prospects of deglobalization and sovereign stimulation proceeding from the French pre-election race where the far-right anti globalist, Le Pen increases leading line items. The all-European benchmark Stoxx Europe 600 extended at 14.82 points having added 0.45% while the sovereign stock indexes show unilateral positive results: the British FTSE 100 added 33.65 points (0.47%), German DAX grew at 22:12 points (0.19%) and French CAC 40 was beaten out in leaders with a surplus at 29.04 points (0.59% respectively). European currencies are traded more weakly than Asia-Pacific colleagues due to broad fiscal policy from the European Central Bank in case with euro and also due to the growing interest in risk and the cheapening gold — in a case with Swiss franc. And here the British pound feels confident enters into top three of today’s growth having joined the Australian dollar and yen, specifying the growing gap with single economy of the EU.

The careful US trading volumes has extended also to Asia but the yen has also weakened that has led to the growth of regional actions.

After the start of trading session in Europe, the pair trades within the closest levels of support at 1.0797 and resistance at 1.0904. This day is uneventful concerning macroeconomic statistics, thus, intra day dynamics of thу market is to be defined by its technical structure. The moving averages with the period of 20 and 55, on the four-hour chart, continue to grow. The MACD histogram fixed solidly in the positive zone and for today it grows, having risen above the signal line and giving a buy signal. The Stochastic oscillator grows too.

Forex News from New Forex: Technical analysis of GBP/USD

On Monday, the currency pair follows different directions with a small advantage of buyers that forces the British pound to strengthen against the greenback. The current rate is located above moving averages with the period of 20 and 55 days indicating the market’s intention to continue the ascending tendency with the level of support at 1.2479 and the level of resistance at 1.2596. For today, the calendar is not full of statistics on significant macroeconomic indicators, thus the dynamics of an exchange rate is to be defined generally by the technical analysis indicators. On the four-hour chart we see that the MACD histogram is in a positive zone and grows a little without forming any accurate signals for investment actions. The Stochastic oscillator grows steadily, reaching an overbought zone and creating a signal for an entrance to the market with long position as the %К line is above the %D line.

The MACD histogram remains in a negative zone and for today it decreases creating a sale signal to the greenback against the Japanese yen. The Stochastic oscillator is located in an oversold zone creating a similar signal. In such a way, we expect the bears to keep the initiative if only the Central Bank of Japan doesn’t take any unplanned actions.

The European Central Bank will reduce the monthly purchases of bonds next month and judging by this fact the narrowing will stop, however the markets expect the next reductions this year, in future and before the increase in rates. The European Central Bank should act extremely careful in order to keep prospects of flexible economic policy between the divided eurozone — with strong economy and also low unemployment rate and inflationary pressure on various sites of a range. The composite index of managers on supply of Markit in the eurozone has grown to 56.7 in March with 56.0 a month earlier outstripping the expectations foretelling the fall to 55.8 and having noted the best level since April, 2011. The production PMI index in March has grown to 56.2 with 55.4 while economists expected the decrease to 55.3. The best, than it was expected as the PMI data explained by more rapid growth of employment, growth of business activity and inflationary pressure at the expense of the high prices of raw materials and weak currency. Euro becomes stronger against the background of PMI data demonstrating that restoration of economy in the Eurozone has accelerated as the currency has grown by 0.24% against the greenback to 1.0810 and at 0.41% against the pound to 0.8646. Euro and the British pound increased 0.5% against the trade weighted basket among its main colleagues. Gold increased 1.1% to $1256.72 per ounce — to its highest level since February.

The same thoughts are divided by strategists of Credit Suisse. The all-European Stoxx 600 index was closed with a surplus at 0:24 to 377.24 after DAX in Germany increased 0.13% to 12.0164 and French CAC added 0.27% to 5.0037. At the front data, the positive balance of the Eurozone trading balance exceeded the forecasts in €18 billion and extended at €19.2 billion in February with €15.7 billion in January. The group of 19 countries exported goods for €170,3 billion and imported for €152.6 billion. Export increased 0.4% since January and import at 1.7%. Euro closed without any essential changes against US dollar at the level of 1.0710 but became stronger at 0.24% against pound sterling on 0.8375. It is supposed that already on May 7 the centrist Macron and the far right eurosceptic Le Pen will win in the first round but extremely left Melanson and the conservative Fillon quickly gain the steam in fight.

USD JPY Today May 4th 2017

usdjpy-h1-trading-point-of.png

USDJPY is still uptrend. Based on technical analysis, you can wait for confirmation of bullish signal if correction occurs to the support area at 112.510-112.297 with potential rebound up to the range 112.641-112.853. Instead be careful if support 112.297 breaks because it will turn the intraday bias to bearish and potentially will push USDJPY to the range 112.166-111.954.
