EUR/USD: EUR updates local highs 02.03.2020

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

NPBFX offers the latest release of analytics on EUR/USD for a better understanding of the current market situation and more efficient trading.

Current trend

EUR has shown ambiguous growth against USD today, updating monthly highs at the opening. The growth of the instrument was slightly corrected and EUR retreated from its highs to 1.1050, maintaining “bullish” sentiment. Traders are focused on macroeconomic statistics from Germany published last Friday. Investors were optimistic about the decrease in Unemployment Change in Germany in February by 10K after a decline by 4K in January. Experts expected the growth by 3K. Unemployment Rate in February remained at the same level of 5%.

Consumer inflation data also supported EUR. German Consumer Price Index in February showed an increase of 0.4% MoM and 1.7% YoY, which was slightly better than expectations of 0.3% MoM and 1.7% YoY. Harmonized Price Index for the same period accelerated from 1.6% YoY to 1.7% YoY, exceeding forecasts.

Support and resistance

On the D1 chart, Bollinger Bands are sharply reversing into the ascending plane. The price range is expanding, but it fails to catch the development of the uptrend development currently. MACD indicator is growing preserving a stable buy signal (located above the signal line). The indicator is also trying to consolidate above the zero level. Stochastic, having reached its highs, reversed into the horizontal plane, indicating a strongly overbought EUR in the ultra-short term.

Existing long positions should be kept until the situation clears up.

Resistance levels: 1.1072, 1.1100, 1.1123, 1.1143.

Support levels: 1.1038, 1.1017, 1.1000, 1.0970.

Trading tips

To open long positions, one can rely on the breakout of the nearest resistance levels of 1.1072 or 1.1100. Take profit – 1.1143 or 1.1170.

A rebound from 1.1072 as from resistance followed by a breakdown of 1.1038 may become a signal for new sales with the target at 1.0970. Stop loss – 1.1072 or 1.1080.

Implementation time: 2-3 days.

XAU/USD: gold prices are rising 04.03.2020

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

NPBFX offers the latest release of analytics on XAU/USD for a better understanding of the current market situation and more efficient trading.

Current trend

Gold prices rose sharply at yesterday’s trading, completely leveling the negative dynamics of the instrument at the end of last trading week. A slight increase can be seen during today’s Asian session; however, the “bullish” activity is noticeably reduced. The reason for the surge in purchasing activity for the instrument was a sudden decrease in the interest rate by the Fed after a conference of G7 finance ministers. The US regulator set a precedent, and now investors are even more nervous, expecting similar actions from other banks. Today, investors are focused on macroeconomic statistics from the US on business activity from ISM and Markit. In addition, closer to the end of the afternoon session, the Fed will publish its updated economic review, the so-called Beige Book.

Support and resistance

Bollinger Bands on D1 chart show moderate growth. The price range is narrowing, reflecting ambiguous dynamics of trading in the short term. MACD indicator is recovering forming a new buy signal (located above the signal line). Stochastic keeps the uptrend, approaching its highs rapidly, which may indicate growing risks associated with overbought instrument in the ultra-short term.

Current indications do not contradict further growth of the instrument in the near future.

Resistance levels: 1660.15, 1675.00, 1689.11.

Support levels: 1640.00, 1630.00, 1620.00, 1611.06.

Trading tips

To open long positions, one can rely on the breakout of 1660.15. Take-profit – 1689.11. Stop-loss – 1648.00.

A breakdown of 1640.00 or 1630.00 may be a signal for new sales with target at 1611.06 or 1602.18. Stop-loss – 1645.00 or 1655.00.

Implementation time: 2-3 days.

GBP/USD: GBP is strengthening 06.03.2020

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

NPBFX offers the latest release of analytics on GBP/USD for a better understanding of the current market situation and more efficient trading.

Current trend

GBP shows a slight increase against USD during today’s Asian session, trading near local highs of February 26, updated yesterday. GBP is supported by weakening expectations of lowering interest rates by the Bank of England. The new head of the British regulator, Andrew Bailey, who is due to take office March 16, said the Bank of England should not rush to cut rates after the Fed. According to Bailey, it is necessary to assess the risks of the spread of the virus and its economic consequences. The instrument is supported by weak positions of USD, vulnerable after an unexpected decrease in the interest rate by the Fed on Tuesday.

The growth of GBP above 1.3000 is hindered by uncertainty around the trade negotiations between the UK and the EU. Boris Johnson remains adamant and declares his readiness to leave the negotiations without an agreement if the EU does not reduce its requirements.

Support and resistance

In the D1 chart, Bollinger Bands are reversing horizontally. The price range is narrowing, reflecting the emergence of ambiguous dynamics of trading in the short term. MACD indicator is growing preserving a moderate buy signal (located above the signal line). Stochastic keeps its upward direction approaching its highs rapidly, which reflects overbought pound in the ultra-short term.

Existing long positions should be kept until technical indicators are clear.

Resistance levels: 1.2970, 1.3000, 1.3030, 1.3068.

Support levels: 1.2940, 1.2900, 1.2870, 1.2848.

Trading tips

To open long positions, one can rely on the breakout of 1.2970. Take-profit – 1.3030 or 1.3050. Stop-loss – 1.2930 or 1.2920.

The rebound from 1.2970 as from resistance with the subsequent breakdown of 1.2940 or 1.2930 can become a signal for new sales with target at 1.2870 or 1.2848. Stop-loss – 1.2970 or 1.2980.

Implementation time: 2-3 days.

USD is practically not affected by the strong report on the US labor market published at the end of the last trading week.

MACD is going down preserving a stable sell signal (located below the signal line). For several trading sessions, Stochastic has been located in close proximity to its lows, indicating strongly oversold USD in the ultra-short term.

It is worth looking into the possibility of corrective growth in the short and/or ultra-short term.

Resistance levels: 102.80, 103.67, 104.19, 105.00.

Support levels: 101.53, 101.00, 100.50.

The instrument adds about 0.77% and is actively testing the level of 1660.00 for a breakout. Hopes for new measures to support the global economy have a positive effect on the dynamics of USD. At the same time, investors remain wary of the uncertain situation with the coronavirus epidemic and the recent collapse in oil prices caused by the price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia. Finally, gold is supported by expectations of the next reduction in the interest rate by the Fed at the meeting on March 18.

Support and resistance

Bollinger Bands on D1 chart show moderate growth. The price range expands from above, freeing a path to new local highs for the “bulls”. MACD is declining keeping a weak sell signal (located below the signal line). Stochastic is slightly more stable and is located in the middle of its area.

Technical indicators do not contradict the further development of the correctional decline in the short and/or ultra-short term. Nevertheless, to open new short positions it is better to wait for the appearance of additional signals.

Resistance levels: 1660.15, 1675.00, 1689.11, 1703.07.

Support levels: 1640.00, 1630.00, 1620.00, 1611.06.

EUR/USD: EUR is corrected 13.03.2020

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

NPBFX offers the latest release of analytics on EUR/USD for a better understanding of the current market situation and more efficient trading.

Current trend

EUR shows corrective growth against USD, recovering from an active decline. The growth of EUR is facilitated by the weakening of USD after Donald Trump’s speech announcing a ban on entering the US from 26 eurozone countries for a month, and allowing the introduction of additional tax and credit exemptions for small and medium-sized enterprises. Investors had expected to hear about new measures to combat coronavirus.

Yesterday, the ECB held a monetary policy meeting, at which Christine Lagarde announced new measures to stimulate the economy. The Bank kept rates at the previous levels and noted that it would increase the volume of additional net asset purchases by EUR 120B. Lagarde called on EU leaders to take decisive actions aimed at stabilizing the economic situation in the region.

Support and resistance

Bollinger Bands in D1 chart show stable growth. The price range is narrowing, reflecting the emergence of ambiguous dynamics of trading in the short term. MACD is going down preserving a stable sell signal (located below the signal line). Stochastic maintains a downward direction, gradually responding to the appearance of corrective dynamics, trying to reverse into a horizontal plane.

Technical indicators don’t contradict the further development of the downtrend in the short and/or ultra-short term. However, it is not advisable to open new short positions, given the emergence of corrective sentiments and the oversold EUR in the ultra-short term.

Resistance levels: 1.1200, 1.1247, 1.1284, 1.1343.

Support levels: 1.1150, 1.1100, 1.1038, 1.1000.

Trading tips

To open long positions, one can rely on the breakout of 1.1247 or 1.1284. Take-profit – 1.1343 or 1.1393. Stop-loss – 1.1200 or 1.1180.

The return of “bearish” trend with the breakdown of 1.1150 may become a signal for new sales with target at 1.1038 or 1.1000. Stop-loss – 1.1220.

Implementation time: 2-3 days.

USD/JPY: the instrument is consolidating 16.03.2020

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

NPBFX offers the latest release of analytics on USD/JPY for a better understanding of the current market situation and more efficient trading.

Current trend

USD shows ambiguous dynamics against JPY during today’s Asian session, trading near the opening level at 107.00. Investors take a lead from a sudden decision of the US Fed to lower interest rates to zero, which should help a weakening global economy amid the further spread of the coronavirus epidemic. Other leading regulators come forward with similar measures. Earlier, the Bank of Japan announced a new program of purchases of government bonds worth JPY 200B, and also announced the issuance of JPY 1.5T of short-term loans for small and medium-sized businesses.

Moderate support for JPY at the beginning of the week is provided by macroeconomic statistics published in Japan. Machinery Orders in January grew by 2.9% MoM after a decrease of 12.5% MoM last month. Analysts had expected negative dynamics to remain at –1.6% MoM. In annual terms, the decline slowed from –3.5% YoY to –0.3% YoY, which also turned out to be better than forecast of –0.5% YoY.

Support and resistance

On the D1 chart, the Bollinger Bands are gradually reversing horizontally. The price range is narrowing, reflecting the emergence of ambiguous dynamics of trading in the short term. MACD indicator is growing preserving a stable buy signal (located above the signal line). Stochastic, approaching the level of “80”, is prone to reversing downwards, signaling the overbought USD in the ultra-short term.

One should wait for clarification of the situation to open new transactions.

Resistance levels: 107.76, 108.49, 109.00, 110.00.

Support levels: 106.83, 105.90, 105.00, 104.19.

Trading tips

To open long positions, one can rely on the breakout of 107.76. Take-profit – 110.00 or 110.40. Stop-loss – 106.50 or 106.00.

A breakdown of 105.90 may be a signal for new sales with target at 104.19 or 103.67. Stop-loss – 107.00.

AUD/USD: the instrument is correcting 20.03.2020

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

NPBFX offers the latest release of analytics on AUD/USD for a better understanding of the current market situation and more efficient trading.

Current trend

AUD strengthens against USD during today’s Asian session, retreating from record lows updated the day before. The corrective sentiment on the instrument began to strengthen on Thursday, which allowed AUD to win back most of the losses. The Reserve Bank of Australia announced next stimulus measures following other global regulators. The interest rate was reduced from 0.50% to 0.25%, while traders expressed cautious optimism in connection with the publication of a relatively good Australian labor market report for February. However, the markets agree that the February statistics weakly reflects the real situation in the economy and the March data will be significantly worse.

Support and resistance

Bollinger Bands in D1 chart demonstrate a stable decrease. The price range is widening but does not conform to the development of the “bearish” trend yet. The MACD indicator is reversing upwards, reacting to the appearance of correctional dynamics at the end of the current week; however, it retains its sell signal (the histogram is located below the signal line). Stochastic is showing similar dynamics, retreating from its lows, indicating the oversold AUD in the ultra-short term.

It is worth looking into the possibility of correctional growth in the short and/or ultra-short term.

Resistance levels: 0.6000, 0.6078, 0.6183, 0.6303.

Support levels: 0.5800, 0.5662, 0.5508.

To open long positions, one can rely on the breakout of 0.6000. Take-profit – 0.6303. Stop-loss – 0.5900 or 0.5860.

The return of “bearish” trend with the breakdown of 0.5800 may become a signal for new sales with the target at 0.5508. Stop-loss – 0.5950.

Implementation time: 2-3 days.

GBP/USD: GBP shows flat dynamics 23.03.2020

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

NPBFX offers the latest release of analytics on GBP/USD for a better understanding of the current market situation and more efficient trading.

Current trend

GBP is showing uncertain growth against USD during today’s Asian session, trying to win back losses at the opening. The recovery of the instrument proceeds against the background of the growth of corrective sentiment, as investors calmed down after the active support measures undertaken by the leading regulators. Last Thursday, the Bank of England lowered rates to a record level of 0.1% and significantly expanded its quantitative easing program in an effort to minimize the damage from the coronavirus crisis. It is not yet clear how these steps will affect the UK economy, but the markets still got the main signal – politicians and economists are ready to undertake emergency measures to deal with the crisis.

Last Friday’s macroeconomic statistics from the UK was ambiguous. Public Sector Net Borrowing increased from GBP –12.433B to –0.394B. However, the figure was better than the forecast of +0.85B pounds.

Support and resistance

Bollinger Bands in D1 chart demonstrate a stable decrease. The price range is narrowing from above, remaining too spacious for the current activity level in the market. MACD indicator is reversing upwards forming a new buy signal (the histogram is about to consolidate above the signal line). Stochastic retreats from its lows, indicating the corrective growth development in the ultra-short term.

The uptrend may emerge in the short and/or ultra-short term.

Resistance levels: 1.1700, 1.1800, 1.2000, 1.2077.

Support levels: 1.1531, 1.1409, 1.1280.

Trading tips

To open long positions, one can rely on the breakout of 1.1700 or 1.1800. Take-profit – 1.2000, 1.2077 or 1.2200. Stop-loss – 1.1600 or 1.1531, 1.1500. Implementation time: 2-3 days.

A breakdown of 1.1531 or 1.1500 may be a signal for new sales with target at 1.1280, 1.1200 or 1.1150. Stop-loss – 1.1700 or 1.1750. Implementation time: 1-2 days.
