Overbought/Oversold
Assuming that the medium term trend is down but a corrective wave up is developing it's preferable to stand aside or try longs when the Detrended Oscillator gets below the zero level (current prices) or into the oversold area (30-40 pips below the current prices).

USD/CAD technical analysis for May 20, 2011
Support: 0.9513, 0.9440, 0.9400
Resistance: 0.9840, 0.9972, 1.0050
On a four-hour chart the USD/CAD currency pair is showing the decline. Nevertheless, the growth can continue after the current rebound.
As stated above, in case of the resistance break through at 0.9721 an upturn targeted to 0.9972 can be awaited. Thereafter, a puncture of 1.0380 will denote the finishing of the recoil from 1.0680, and a further ascending can be expected.
It should be mentioned as well that on a four-hour chart a pattern of recoil has formed – the reverse Head-and-Shoulders. Breaking through the neckline confirmed this viewpoint and aimed the currency pair at 1.0050. On the other hand, the puncture of the support at 0.9513 will point to the false formation of the pattern.
Moreover, if a rebound occurs, the puncture of the support at 0.9440 will open the way to 0.9400. And the following decline targeted to 0.9353 can be expected, that is actually the level of the Fibo projection 100.0 with 1.0285 at 0.9666 to 0.9972.
In a mid-term outlook the break through the support at 0.9930 pointed to the continuation of the midterm descending trend from 1.3063 (maximum of 2009) with the target at 0.9400. Though this down movement seems to be the correction and in the area of 0.9056-0.9700 there is a strong support level.
Till the support level 0.9972 is unbroken, the attitude to the currency pair will remain bearish.
If there is a rebound, breaking through 1.0851 will confirm the puncture of the decreasing trend from 1.3063. In this case the USD/CAD pair is expected to upmove to the resistance at 1.1126 with the following aim at 1.1866.

CRUDE OIL Bullish Outlook May 20, 2011 (Daily Strategy)
http://instaforex.com/userfiles/20110520/20crudeoil.gif
CRUDE OIL
The detailed fundamental analysis puts the price of oil at around 125 dollars to the barrel
by the end of 2011. now the price of oil has stabilized over the past nine days and is
setting a triple bottom around the price level of 95 – 99 dollars. A buy at the present
price creates an excellent opportunity where the potential for a large price increase is as
high as the size of the previous price drops. The closer resistance level at 108.00 can be
used as a key point for a partial realization.
The resistance level of 114.70 that halted the pair previously can be used as a final
target price for the realization of a long position on the pair.

GBP/USD technical analysis for May 23, 2011
The GBP/USD currency pair has rolled back again after it could not fixate below the support level at 1.6164. Nevertheless, the viewpoint at the pair is still bearish.
Earlier in a daily graph the GBP/USD formed a Dark Cloud Cover candlestick combination indicating a bearish signal.
This candlestick was formed after the pair failed to break the resistance level near 1.6750, which means that the bulls could not solidify here and the bears started to increase their influence.
The break of the Fibonacci 23.6 correction level proves this viewpoint. Now we should expect downside movement with a target at 1.6164. Its break will allow it to reach the support level 1.5932, where the Fibonacci 61.8 correction level is also located. At the same time, break of the 1.6300 level will probably cause a slight consolidation.
It is worth mentioning that stop orders should be placed slightly above the 1.6517 level as a break of this resistance will target the pair to 1.6750.

EUR/GBP candlestick analysis for May 23, 2011
The EUR/GBP currency pair is trading down again after a strong rollback to the 0.8650 support level.
Earlier in a daily graph the EUR/GBP formed a Long Shadows candlestick indicating further downside movement, confirmed further.
This candlestick shows that earlier the EUR/GBP pair made a strong upside movement after an unsuccessful attempt to break the support level 0.8300. However, it reversed near the 0.9000 level. This means that the bulls could not solidify here and the bears started to increase their influence.
The divergence on the RSI and the MACD supports the downside movement.
Break of the Fibonacci 23.6 correction level proves this viewpoint.
As mentioned earlier, if the Fibonacci 38.2 correction level is successfully tested, we should expect downside movement with a target at 0.8650 where the Fibonacci correction level 50.0 is also located. Its break will target the pair to the next support level 0.8350.
It is worth mentioning that stop orders should be placed slightly above the resistance level 0.8840 as its break will target the pair to 0.9050.
In the medium term, the rollback from 0.8067 is completed with 3 waves at 0.9041. Current correction means the decline from the 0.9799 (2008 high) is continuing with a target to refresh lows below 0.8067. Break of the support level 0.8650 will prove this point of view and lead to downside movement to 0.8284. Its break will target the pair to 0.8067.
Nevertheless, break of the resistance level 0.9050 will denote that the short-term correction from 0.9799 is completed with 3 waves at 0.8067. In this case, the long-term downtrend initiated in 2000 will be probably continued to refresh highs above 0.9799.

EUR/USD wave analysis for May 23, 2011
http://instaforex.com/userfiles/20110523/EUR_h4.gif
Since the opening of Friday’s trading the EUR/USD currency pair started to decline and dropped by two figures by the end of the day. At the same time, the high of the previous day at the moment looks like the top of the five-wave upside structure. Given this, we can suppose that the observed false high at 1.4350 indicated the end of the a wave (or 1) of a more complex and continuous correction. If so, in order to continue the upside movement the price must still form the b wave (or the 2nd).

Despite differently directed Friday’s trading, the USD/CHF currency pair managed to end forming the estimated b wave of the current correction structure and observe the 50,0% correction target level after a reverse. At the same time, the decline to 0.8750 at the moment looks like the beginning of the wave of this correction. If so, the indicated downside movement can develop in the direction of the next possible target located near the 87 figure level.

USD/CAD technical analysis for May 24, 2011
Support levels: 0.9640, 0.9513, 0.9440
Resistance levels: 0.9840, 0.9972, 1.0050
In a 4-hour graph the USD/CAD is continuing upside movement and wants to test the resistance level 0.9840. The USD/CAD has been trading in an upside channel after reaching a multi-year high at 0.9445.
As mentioned before, in case the resistance near 0.9721 is broken we should expect upside movement to 0.9972. Further break of 1.0380 will denote that the rollback from 1.0680 is completed and further growth should be expected.
It is worth mentioning that in a 4-hour graph a reverse figure “Reversed Head and Shoulders” was formed. Break of the neck line proved this point of view and targeted the pair to 1.0050. On the other hand, break of the support level 0.9513 will denote false formation of this figure.
If a reversal takes place and the USD/CAD breaks the 0.9445 support level, further advance to 0.9400 should be expected. Besides, we can expect a decline to 0.9353, which is 100.0 Fibonacci projection of 1.0285 to 0.9666 up to 0.9972.
In the medium term the breakout of the support level at 0.9930 indicated continuing midterm downtrend from 1.3063 (2009 high) with 0.9400 as a target. However, this downside movement is probably a correction, and a strong support level is located near 0.9056-0.9700.
The viewpoint at the pair is bearish until the resistance at 0.9972 is broken.
Thus, if a reversal takes place, the breakout of 1.0851 will prove the downtrend broken through from 1.3063. In this case the USD/CAD is expected to go up to 1.1126 with 1.1866 as the next target.
