USD/CAD: the instrument is consolidating 15.04.2020

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

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

Current trend

USD is showing slight growth during today’s Asian session, trying to retreat from monthly lows updated earlier this week. USD remains under pressure amid some improvement in the prospects for combating coronavirus in Europe, as well as due to the publication of a large number of disappointing macroeconomic statistics from the US.

Today investors are focused on statistics on the dynamics of retail sales and industrial production in the USA in March. A meeting of the Bank of Canada on the interest rate with a follow-up press conference is also expected. The key interest rate is expected to remain unchanged at 0.25%, while Canadian monetary authorities may announce new measures to support the economy.

Support and resistance

On the D1 chart, the Bollinger Bands are gradually reversing horizontally. The price range is expanding, without hindering the further development of “bearish” sentiment in the short term. MACD is going down preserving a stable sell signal (located below the signal line). In addition, the indicator is trying to consolidate below the zero level. Stochastic has long been located near its lows and signals in favor of the development of corrective growth in the ultra-short term.

One should wait for the situation to develop and new signals from technical indicators to appear.

Resistance levels: 1.3900, 1.4000, 1.4100, 1.4200.

Support levels: 1.3819, 1.3700, 1.3650.

Trading tips

To open long positions, one can rely on the breakout of 1.4000. Take-profit – 1.4200. Stop-loss – 1.3900.

The return of “bearish” trend with the breakdown of 1.3900 or 1.3819 may become a signal for new sales with the target at 1.3700 or 1.3650. Stop-loss – 1.3950 or 1.4000.

Implementation time: 2-3 days.

NZD/USD: the instrument is strengthening 17.04.2020

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

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

Current trend

NZD is showing strong growth against USD during today’s Asian session, correcting after a steady decline over the previous two sessions in a row. The instrument adds about 0.80% and tests 0.6020 for a breakout. The reason for the appearance of correctional dynamics at the end of the week is another weakening of USD in the market, while the general interest of investors in “safe” assets remains high.

Today, traders are focused on the publication of Chinese statistics. China's GDP in Q1 2020 showed a decrease of 6.8% YoY after an increase of 6% YoY in the previous period. Analysts had expected decline by 6.5% YoY. In quarterly terms, GDP decreased by 9.8% QoQ, which generally met investor expectations. Industrial Production in March decreased by 1.1% YoY, which turned out to be significantly better than the forecasts of –7.3% YoY. In February production decreased by 13.5% YoY.

Support and resistance

On the D1 chart Bollinger Bands reversed horizontally. The price range consolidated in fairly wide borders, indicating approximate balance of power in the short term. MACD recovered unsteady growth preserving a sell signal (located below the signal line). Stochastic maintains a confident downtrend, quickly approaching its lows.

It is necessary to wait for clarification of the situation in the market to open new positions.

Resistance levels: 0.6000, 0.6129, 0.6200, 0.6300.

Support levels: 0.5920, 0.5842, 0.5776, 0.5690.

Trading tips

To open long positions, one can rely on the breakout of 0.6040 or 0.6060. Take-profit – 0.6200 or 0.6250. Stop-loss – 0.5990 or 0.5980.

The breakdown of 0.5920 or 0.5900 may serve as a signal to new sales with target at 0.5776 or 0.5740. Stop-loss – 0.6020.

Implementation time: 2-3 days.

USD/CHF: USD shows ambiguous dynamics 20.04.2020

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

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

Current trend

During today’s Asian session, USD is showing slight growth against CHF, consolidating after a decline last Friday. High demand for USD is supporting the instrument near current levels, but further growth is limited by the gradual restoration of investor interest in risk. The pressure on USD was exerted by the new recommendations of Donald Trump that suggest the phased lifting of restrictions in several states within a month. Additional pressure on USD was exerted by news about a new drug to combat coronavirus, which also contributed to the growth of investor interest in risky assets.

Today traders are focused on the publication of Chicago Fed National Activity Index for March. Interesting statistics from Switzerland will only appear on Tuesday, when the March report on imports and exports will be released.

Support and resistance

Bollinger Bands in D1 chart demonstrate flat dynamics. The price range consolidated within rather wide boundaries, which correspond to the observed dynamics in the market. MACD indicator is growing preserving a weak buy signal (located above the signal line). The indicator is also trying to consolidate above the zero level. Stochastic keeps the uptrend, but approaches its highs rapidly, which indicates the risks associated with overbought USD in the ultra-short term.

Existing long positions should be kept in the short and/or ultra-short term until the signals from technical indicators clear up.

Resistance levels: 0.9700, 0.9742, 0.9796, 0.9847.

Support levels: 0.9647, 0.9600, 0.9500.

Trading tips

To open long positions, one can rely on the breakout of 0.9700. Take-profit – 0.9770 or 0.9796. Stop-loss – 0.9647.

The rebound from 0.9700 as from resistance, with the subsequent breakdown of 0.9647, can become a signal to new sales with target at 0.9550 or 0.9500. Stop-loss – 0.9700 or 0.9720.

Implementation time: 2-3 days.

Brent Crude Oil: oil prices are declining 22.04.2020

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

NPBFX offers the latest release of analytics on Brent Crude Oil for a better understanding of the current market situation and more efficient trading.

Current trend

Brent crude oil prices are declining, testing a record low at USD 16 per barrel. The weakening of quotes is due to the panic that arose on Monday, when May futures for US oil collapsed to negative values for the first time in history. The coronavirus pandemic and the accompanying restrictions on travel contribute to the decrease in oil demand, while steps to reduce production fail to change the situation significantly. The existing storage facilities are almost full, and companies are forced to charter additional vessels for the temporary storage of their products.

OPEC held an urgent online conference concerning the situation in the oil market, but so far no important decisions have been made. It had been expected that the parties could begin reducing production immediately, and not from May 1, as suggested by the previously signed agreement.

Support and resistance

On the D1 chart Bollinger bands are reversing downwards. The price range is expanding; however, it fails to catch the surge of “bearish” sentiments at the moment. MACD is going down preserving a stable sell signal (located below the signal line). Stochastic has long been located near its lows, signaling a strong oversold instrument in the ultra-short term.

There are no signals for a possible upward correction, so it is reasonable to keep part of the available sales for some time.

Resistance levels: 20.00, 22.51, 25.00, 27.00.

Support levels: 15.49, 14.00, 12.00.

Trading tips

To open long positions, one can rely on the rebound from 14.00 as from resistance with the subsequent breakout of 15.49 or 16.00. Take-profit – 20.00 or 22.00. Stop-loss – 14.00 or 13.00.

The breakdown of 14.00 will become a signal to new sales with target at 12.00 and strong psychological support at 10.00. Stop-loss – 16.00 or 17.00.

Implementation time: 2-3 days.

EUR/USD: EUR is corrected 27.04.2020

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 a slight increase against USD during today’s Asian session, continuing the development of Friday’s “bullish” momentum, which allowed the instrument to retreat from local lows since March 24. The growth of EUR is largely due to technical factors, while pressure on the instrument remains on the background of growing risks for the global economy. Additionally, EUR is weakening due to the uncertainty surrounding new stimulus measures in the eurozone economy.

Last week, European leaders agreed on an initial plan to support the region’s economy, but they failed to agree on the format of this assistance: either it should be free tranches, or some kind of soft loans. Last Friday, macroeconomic statistics from Germany reflected a further decline in business sentiment in the country.

Support and resistance

Bollinger Bands in D1 chart demonstrate flat dynamics. The price range consolidated within rather wide boundaries, which correspond to the observed dynamics in the market. MACD indicator is growing preserving a weak buy signal (located above the signal line). Stochastic maintains a confident uptrend, being approximately in the center of its area.

It is worth looking into the possibility of further uptrend development in the short and/or ultra-short term.

Resistance levels: 1.0900, 1.0952, 1.1000, 1.1054.

Support levels: 1.0800, 1.0767, 1.0726.

Trading tips

To open long positions, one can rely on the breakout of 1.0900. Take-profit – 1.1000 or 1.1054. Stop loss – 1.0830 or 1.0820.

The return of “bearish” trend with the breakdown of 1.0800 may become a signal for new sales with the target at 1.0726 or 1.0700. Stop-loss – 1.0850.

Implementation time: 2-3 days.

Use more opportunities of the NPBFX analytical portal: glossary

AUD/USD: AUD is updating highs 29.04.2020

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 is showing moderate growth against USD during today’s Asian session, updating local highs of March 11. The instrument adds about 0.65% and is testing the level of 0.6530 for a breakout. The pair is supported by growing cautious optimism that in May many European countries will begin to phase out the previously imposed restrictions on businesses work and the movement of citizens. In addition, investors prefer to wait for the publication of quarterly data on US GDP and the results of today’s Fed meeting.

Published macroeconomic statistics from Australia also provides some support to the pair. RBA Trimmed Mean CPI in Q1 2020 showed an increase of 0.5% QoQ, contrary to forecasts of a slowdown to 0.4% QoQ. YoY, the growth of the index accelerated from 1.6% to 1.8%.

Support and resistance

Bollinger Bands in D1 chart show stable growth. The price range is expanding but it fails to conform to the development of “bullish” sentiments at the moment. MACD indicator is growing preserving a stable buy signal (located above the signal line). Stochastic, having reached its highs, reversed into the horizontal plane, indicating overbought AUD in the ultra-short term.

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

Resistance levels: 0.6584, 0.6650, 0.6700.

Support levels: 0.6508, 0.6443, 0.6384, 0.6300.

Trading tips

To open long positions, one can rely on the breakout of 0.6584. Take-profit – 0.6700. Stop-loss – 0.6508.

The rebound from 0.6584 as from resistance with the subsequent breakdown of 0.6508 can become a signal to return to sales with target at 0.6384 or 0.6300. Stop-loss – 0.6600.

Implementation time: 2-3 days.

USD/JPY: the pair is showing flat dynamics 01.05.2020

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 returned to decline against JPY during today’s Asian session, again weakening after the “bullish” surge yesterday, which allowed the instrument to retreat from its local lows since March 17. USD managed to strengthen, despite the publication of disappointing macroeconomic statistics from the US, which, however, no longer surprises anyone. The main reason was technical factors, as well as correction of positions by investors at the end of the month.

More confident growth of JPY on Friday is hindered by weak data from Japan. Tokyo CPI excluding Fresh Food fell by 0.1% YoY in April, after rising by 0.4% YoY in the previous month. Analysts had expected minimal positive dynamics to remain at 0.1% YoY. Jibun Bank Manufacturing PMI fell from 43.7 to 41.9 points in April.

Support and resistance

In the D1 chart, Bollinger Bands are reversing horizontally. The price range is trying to consolidate in rather narrow limits. MACD indicator is growing preserving a weak buy signal (the histogram is above the signal line). Stochastic, having shown a rebound from the level of “20”, continues to grow steadily, being approximately in the center of its area.

Technical indicators do not contradict the further development of the correctional momentum in the short and/or ultra-short term.

Resistance levels: 107.48, 108.00, 108.71, 109.37.

Support levels: 106.90, 106.34, 106.02.

Trading tips

To open long positions, one can rely on the breakout of 107.48. Take-profit – 108.30 or 108.50. Stop-loss – 107.00. Implementation time: 2-3 days.

A breakdown of 106.90 may be a signal for new sales with target at 106.34 or 106.02. Stop-loss – 107.30. Implementation time: 1-2 days.

However, he failed to enter the top ten of the winners.
