EUR/USD Technical Analysis and Trading Recommendations for April 2, 2012






General situation:
Analyzing the Forex market on April 2 we can see that in course of yesterday’s trades the rate remained in sideways channel restricted by Bollinger Bands. Therefore, it is recommended to refrain from trading. The current signal for Buy-deals is confirmed and strong, as Chinkou Span is above the price chart and the price is higher than Ichimoku Cloud. At the moment the target for ascending movement is the first resistance level 1.3420 though it is recommended to begin bullish trading only when Bollinger Bands begin their extension to upwards. In case the first target level has been overcome, the next target will be seen at the second resistance level 1.3500. the uprising movement remains relevant as long as the price is higher than Kijun-Sen (1,3320). If the price is fixed below this line, this will indicate the weakening of the sellers signals and the further development of the ascending movement will be questioned. Chinkou Span is located above the price chart confirming the current signal for Buy-deals and indicating the bullish mood of traders. Bollinger Bands indicates the continuation of the sideways movement, lines are not expanding and directed sideways. Thus, in general it is recommended to stay away from the market until the flat movement is over. MACD is declining showing the current descending price movement. Therefore, you cannot open long positions at the moment as Bollinger Bands confirms it.



Trading recommendations:
On the EUR/USD market it is recommended to consider bullish trades with 1.3420 seen as target but only when Bollinger Bands goes upwards. If bullish mood continues and this level is passed through, it will be possible to continue Buy-deals with target seen at level 1.3500. stop Loss is to be placed below 1.332 and as this line goes higher, Stop Loss level can be placed upwards as well. With 50-60 pips of profit Stop Loss san be placed into non-loss area. While opening long positions MACD is to be directed upwards. Take Profits are to be placed a bit lower than target levels.

Apart from the technical picture it is necessary to consider the fundamental data and the time of its release.

EUR/USD: Sell Bellow 1.3405 - Fractal Analysis for April 03, 2012 2012-04-03





EUR / USD has entered a zone which seems not to be exceeded - 1.34, but without yielding firm of 1.32, only data for the next few days concerning the ECB's monetary policy and employment in the United States appear to be able to give a faster rate.
From a technical point of view we can notice the formation of a fractal 1.3324, if the sequence continues downward, we recommend buying at 1.3245 level which is the lowest fractal zone, and near 1.3220 – a weekly support, or if the euro increases your quote, then we can sell during the next fractal pullback from 1.3405 with targets at 1.3230.
The range indicator shows that the euro is overbought.

AUD/USD Under Pressure - April 03, 2012 (Daily Strategy)








The AUD / USD trend remains bearish if viewed on the monthly charts, which can lead to the BRA cutting the interest rate.
If we consider technical levels, here the Aussie remains above 1.0246, which is difficult to be overcome, a break below this level could widen the fall to 1.00
We therefore recommend selling below the downtrend line to 1.0246 weekly support and ultimate goal to 1.0149 (W_S2)
The MACD is in negative zone, and maintaining a sell signal.

Fundamental Analysis, for April 05, 2012



The dollar remains in its upward path on all fronts, while European stocks turn down operations in the session Thursday.

The euro broke the 1.31 area, amid a new climate of uncertainty about the debt crisis of Europe, whose main focus to Spain. But the rest of the coins of the old continent operate with short-term downtrends.

The Swiss franc came at this time to its lowest since March 16, at 0.9205, while the British pound falls as softer against the dollar. In the case of GBP / USD is still in effect an uptrend on the daily chart, which would only be impaired by break of 1.5765.

The situation is different from the crossing EUR / USD, in which the price broke a trendline on the weekly chart, which can trigger a downward movement much more pronounced in the near future. The aim of the low maximum is located in the area of �‹�‹1.2580.

In another vein, the Canadian dollar approaching parity again against the dollar, following the footsteps of oil, which fell again on Wednesday, although the weekly crude oil inventories showed less existence thereof in the previous period.

Australian dollar also fell to a low of 10 January, following the sharp downward correction experienced an ounce of gold. This is listed at $ 1622 at the time, bearish in the short term.

Already known monetary policy announcement by the Bank of England, who left unchanged, as expected, the reference interest rate, the agenda of the day report includes a set of data in Canada, within which stand building permits, unemployment rate and job creation in March.

AUD/USD Buy above Fractal 1.0220 for April 05, 2012 (Daily Strategy)





The AUD / USD pair is likely to consolidate above the weekly support 1.0243 and above the fractal 1.0223 in two days. The aussie is still under the negative pressure due to the results of the meeting of the Reserve Bank of Australia, that caused worries of many investors.

On a technical level we noticed a fractal formed in daily charts. This level is very strong because it is the last support of the uptrend. Its breakdown will drastically change the outlook of the pair.

Thus, we recommend Buy-deals at current levels,though it is necessary to operate with low leverage, as the downward pressure is still relevant.

The MACD indicator is in oversold area and it is possible to bounce the upward trend.

EUR/USD Buy Above 1.30 - April 05, 2012








The EUR / USD pair has broken througn the 1.3112 weekly support due to uncertainty about the debt crisis of Europe with Spain in focus. As a result, the euro slided towards the level of the third week support 1.3032 (W_S3)

On technical level we can see that the euro is in a very strong support level, the 1.3032 and 1.3000 and as tomorrow is a holiday, we believe that will be consolidated at current levels.

We therefore recommend buying with a possible rebound towards 1.3226.

Else we can say that the formation of a reversal pattern, which has bearish implications with medium-term objective at level 1.2500, is likley to take place.

The range indicator and Momentum are in overbought area and a rebound is imminent.

EUR/USD Wave Analysis for April 5, 2012






Wave marking analysis:
Resulting from yesterday’s trades the EUR/USD pair continued its development of the descending movement that has begun recently. By the end of the American session it has lost more than 120 pips. Proceeding from the inner dimension of the supposed 3rd wave of the current downside movement and elaboration of the target corresponding to the 1.3110 level, we can suggest that the reversal of quotes to upwards confirmed the fact that 3rd wave was completed. If that proves to be so, then, when the uprising correction within the prospect wave 4 is completed, the pair is expected to resume its decline towards the 1.3025 level or March low (1.3005).



Targets for the wave 3 in 1 or A:
1.3094 – 76.4% according to Fibonacci
1.3048 – 88.6% according to Fibonacci

Targets for the wave 4 in 1 or A:
1.3148 – 61.8% according to Fibonacci
1.3192 – 50.0% according to Fibonacci

General conclusions and trading recommendations:
The ascending part of the trend within wave 3 in 1 or A has targets 1.3094 and 1.3048 corresponding to 76.4% and 88.6% of Fibonacci. The breakout of the ascending channel also indicates the formation of the new part of the trend. The inner wave structure of the wave 1 or A implies the further descent, as presently the wave 3 in 1 or A is apparently being formed. Thus, the whole wave may be completed near the point 1.3100. As to the wave 4 in 1 or A, it can raise the pair towards 1.3148 and 1.3192 which is equal to 61.8% and 50.0% of Fibonacci

USD/CHF Technical Analysis and Trading Recommendations for April 5, 2012






General situation:
On April 5 the USD/CHF pair continued its ascending movement. Having reached the resistance level, the pair reversed to the benefit of Swiss currency, so this is the reason why we can see the correction. The current signal for Buy-deals is confirmed and strong, as Chinkou Span is fixed above the price chart and the price has overcome the Ichimoku Cloud. So presently the targets for uprising movement are seen at the resistance level 0.9184 that was previously reached by the price though has not been overcome by the bulls. In case this level has been overcome, the new target for bullish trade – the third resistance level 0.9231 – will be available. The uprising movement remains the same as long as price is higher the Kijun-Sen (0.9090). While bullish trading below this line it is recommended to place Stop Loss. If the price goes lower than this line, the signal for Buy-deals will weaken and the further elaboration of the ascending movement will be questioned. Chinkou Span is located above the price chart confirming the current signal for Buy-deals and indicating the bullish mood on the USD/CHF market.
Bollinger Bands indicates the current uprising movement, lines are expended and directed upwards, that is why it is recommended to consider long positions. MACD has reversed to downside showing the current beginning of the correction that is the reason why this indicator does not allow to open orders for Buy-deals at the moment. But in case the MACD reverses to upwards, long positions will be relevant again.



Trading recommendations:
On USD/CHF market it is recommended to consider long positions with first targets seen at the 0.9184 level. When this level is passed through, the target for Buy-deals will be seen at the 0.9231 level. Stop Loss is to be placed below 0.9090 and if this line goes higher, Stop Loss can be placed after it. New long positions are recommended to be opened only when the MACD reverses to upwards. With 50-60 pips of profit it will be possible to place Stop Loss to the zero area. Take profits are to be placed a bit below the target levels (10-15 pips approximately).

Apart from the technical picture it is necessary to consider the fundamental data and the time of its release.

GBP/JPY Elliott wave count and Fibonacci levels for April 9, 2012

The GBP/JPY pair is developing an impulse wave C of the medium term downtrend from 133.32 (light green in the chart). Within this wave we have three subwaves (royal blue in the chart), A, B, and an impulse subwave C developing from 133.19 including three subwaves (magenta in the chart) and impulse subwave C developing from 130.81. At smaller level there are A, B, and C waves (orange red in the chart); the subwave C is developing from 129.58.

Now the downside targets are Fibonacci expansions 133.42-129.94-133.32, 133.32-130.08-133.19, 133.19-129.45-130.81, 130.81-129.09-129.58.

Supports:

- 128.52-50 = confluence area of two contracted objective points (COP)
- 127.95-86 = confluence area of expanded objective point (XOP) and objective point (OP)
- 127.69 = XOP
- 127.07 = OP

If the price reverses to the upside the immediate resistances will be Fibonacci retracements of the wave down from 133.19 - this wave is not developed yet, so resistances are not available.



Overbought/Oversold

The bigger wave is now moving downside, so it is recommended to try short positions when the Detrended Oscillator goes above the zero level (current prices) or into the overbought area (35-50 pips above the current prices). Watch for opportunities to go short at or near the indicated resistances.
