NZD/CAD: buy target - 0.9000
30 October 2015
By: Dmitriy Chernovolov

• NZD/CAD reversed from support zone
• Next buy target - 0.9000

NZD/CAD continues to rise after the recent upward reversal from the support zone lying between the support level 0.8830 (former strong resistance level which stopped the previous A-wave in August, as you can see below) and the 38.2% Fibonacci Correction of the previous sharp C-wave from September (which started when the pair reversed up from the major support level 0.8300).

The upward reversal from the aforementioned support zone is likely to lead to further gains toward the next buy target at the next resistance level 0.9000 (which recently stopped the previous intermediate ABC correction (2)).

AUD/NZD: sell target - 1.0400
30 October 2015
By: Dmitriy Chernovolov

• AUD/NZD broke strong support zone
• Next sell target - 1.0400

AUD/NZD continues to fall strongly – after the price recently broke through the powerful support zone lying between the support levels 1.0700 and 1.0600. The breakout of this support zone accelerated the active minor impulse wave 3 – which started earlier – when the pair reversed down from the former support trendline of the recently broken daily down channel from June (acting as resistance now, after it was broken).

AUD/NZD is likely to continue to fall in the accelerated waves 3 , (C) and ② toward the next sell target at the next support level 1.0400. Sell stop-loss can be placed above the resistance level 1.0600.

USD/JPY: forecast for November 2-8

By Elizabeth Belugina

The Bank of Japan didn’t increase the size of its monetary stimulus package. As a result, USD/JPY failed to make a big break to the upside. The pair remained limited on the upside by the 121.50 area.

However, declines of dollar/yen after the central bank’s meeting weren’t very extensive.Many still expect the Bank of Japan to ease sometime in future, later this year or in early 2016. As a result, the pair has fundamental support around 118.00/117.50.

Japan still has the problem of deflation: core consumer prices fell for the second month in a row in September. However, the Bank of Japan is already buying immense number of bonds to help the economy and lift up prices, so further easing is risky. The yen is at the comfortable levels for the regulator and the bid tone for USD/JPY remains as the Federal Reserve’s rate hike remain on the table. All in all, despite Japanese economic problems, the central bank can allow itself to remain in the wait-and-see mode keeping the current policy unchanged. On the broad scale, it means that USD/JPY won’t diverge much form its current trading range.

In the short term the pair may be affected by the swings in risk sentiment. There will be a big release of Chinese data on Monday morning. Lower manufacturing PMI in China will increase demand for the yen as a safe haven. In addition, pay attention to the US economic releases: together with the risk sentiment they will represent the main driver of USD/JPY.

Trading is going to be volatile. Support is at 120.00, 119.60 and 118.00. Resistanceisat 121.00, 121.80 and 122.50.

US Dollar: forecast for November 2-8

By Kira Iukhtenko
The US Federal Reserve decided to leave interest rates unchanged at its October meeting. However, the policy statement switched into the hawkish territory. As a result, expectations for the Fed’s rate hike in December surged, offering support to the US Dollar in all the currency pairs, except for the USD/JPY pair.

However, traders still have some doubts that the Fed will really hike on its next meeting in December. Weak economic data from the US raise some questions. Last week we have seen that the US economy grew by 1.5% in Q3, down from 4% in Q2.

The US dollar has potential for more growth, but trade on the next week will depend on the economic data. We’ll be focused on the labor market figures on Friday. In September the US economy added only 142K new jobs. Hopefully the picture has improved in October. We recommend buying the US dollar in all the major pairs on upbeat data.

EUR/USD: forecast for November 2-8

By Elizabeth Belugina

The more hawkish than expected meeting of the Federal Reserve pulled EUR/USD down, to the new lows since the beginning of August at 1.09. The pair once again fell into trading on the monetary policy divergence between the US and Europe. Data from the euro area in the past week was mostly weak, though the flash inflation figures for October improved after declining in September.

The market is still convinced that the European Central Bank will ease its monetary policy further either in December, or early in next year. Such expectations act as a drag on the single currency capping any recovery of the EUR/USD. The pair will meet resistance at the big figures of 1.11, 1.12 and then at 1.1250.

Next week pay attention to the speech of the ECB’s president Mario Draghi on Tuesday and the European Union’s economic forecasts on Thursday. Draghi may offer new hints on the ECB’s assessment of the region’s economy and further plans. In addition, beware of the news from the United States: the Fed’s Chairwoman Janet Yellen will speak on Wednesday, while on Friday America will release nonfarm payrolls for October, and the event will surely rack the market.

Support for EUR/USD lies at 1.08 and below this point there won’t be much of the help for the euro bulls until 1.05. We prefer short positions on the euro in the current environment.

GBP/USD: forecast for November 2-8

By Kira Iukhtenko

British pound had another volatile week. GBP/USD slipped below 1.5250 as the US Federal Reserve turned out to be more hawkish on its meeting. However, sentiment changed to bullish by the end of the week. The pair formed a bullish engulfing candle on Thursday and the pair jumped back up above 1.5300. The trend line of the bearish channel was broken to the upside.

The next strong resistance is now seen at 1.5390. This is the resistance of the potential wedge pattern (red lines on the chart). We expect the pair to retrace from this level and to retest the last week’s support at 1.5250. Technical picture for the coming weeks remains bearish.

We will watch the block of UK PMIs at the beginning of the new week. Thursday will likely become a volatile day for the cable: the Bank of England will hold its policy meeting and release the quarterly inflation report. According to the most recent data, inflation expectations for the next year declined in October and have stayed below the Bank’s target for 13 months. UK interest rate is widely expected to stay on hold in 2015, so the upside of the pound remains capped.

EUR/JPY: buy target - 134.00
2 November 2015
By: Dmitriy Chernovolov

• EUR/JPY reversed from pivotal support level 132.00
• Next buy target - 134.00

EUR/JPY recently reversed up sharply from the pivotal support level 132.00 (which also previously stopped the sharp minor impulse wave (i) at the start of September, as you can see below). The upward reversal from this support level created the strong daily Japanese candlestick reversal pattern Bullish Engulfing – stopping the previous minor impulse wave (iii) – which belongs to the C-wave of the intermediate ABC correction (2) from the start of June.

Given the fact that the daily Stochastic is still moving in the oversold territory - EUR/JPY can be expected to rise further from the current levels toward the next buy target at the resistance level 134.00.

Forex trading plan for November 3

Elizabeth Belugina

EUR/USD is consolidating in the 1.1050/00 area. There is a symmetric triangle on H1. The most recent data from the euro area were rather good, but many market players still expect more easing from the ECB. Morgan Stanley on Monday lowered its forecast for EUR/USD at the beginning of 2016 to $1.03 early. As a result, traders await what the ECB president Mario Draghi says at 19:00 GMT on Tuesday. Above 1.1050 next resistance is at 1.1100/10 and 1.1160. Below 1.1000 support is at 1.0915/00.

UK manufacturing PMI came above expectations (55.5K vs. forecast of 51.8).GBP/USD opened with a gap up and approached resistance at 1.5500, which remains intact probably because manufacturing is not the main sector of British economy (for this see services PMI on Wednesday). Pay attention to British construction PMI due at 09:30 GMT on Tuesday. All the data releases this week are very important for the pound ahead of the Bank of England’s meeting on Thursday. After the US Federal Reserve leaned to a more hawkish side, traders may expect more hawkishness from the British central bank as well. Support is at 1.5400, 1.5380 and 1.5340, and retreat to these levels can provide opportunities for longs. In addition, look for confirmation of a break above 1.5500/10 to buy the cable.

USD/JPY is holding above 120.00. Tuesday will be the bank holiday in Japan. The pair will be driven by the US data releases (ISM manufacturing PMI on Monday, factory orders on Tuesday). Support is at 120.00 and 119.60. Resistance is at 121.00, 121.50 and 121.80.

AUD/USD found support above 0.7100 as Australian building approvals rebounded and on the news that Chinese manufacturing sector is stabilizing (though official PMI remained below the threshold of 50 points). Moreover, Aussie’s growth remained limited ahead of the Reserve Bank of Australia’s meeting on Tuesday. Resistance is at 0.7160 and 0.7200 ahead of 0.7280. Support is at 0.7020/00 and 0.6950.

3 November 2015
By: Dmitriy Chernovolov

• AUD/CHF reversed from support zone
• Next buy targets - 0.7130 and 0.7200

AUD/CHF recently reversed up from the support zone lying at the intersection of the upper trendline of the wide daily down channel from the end of April – acting as support now, after it was broken by the previous upward impulse from the end of October, as you can see below), the 50% Fibonacci Retracement of the aforementioned upward price impulse and the round support level 0.7000. The upward reversal from this support zone created the daily Japanese candlestick reversal pattern Piercing Line.

AUD/CHF is likely to rise further in the active impulse wave 3 (of the intermediate (C)-wave from September) toward the next buy targets - 0.7130 and 0.7200.
