Daily Analysis 2014-05-14

EURUSD is at a very strong support below the fast EMA, and may find its way up to 1.38 in the near term although the momentum is very bearish.

GBPUSD seems to be following the EUR, and if so, we may see it at 1.67 in the next day or so. We will have a better idea once the pair tries to cross yesterday's high which would signal an end to this correction and lead to the pound moving up.

AUDUSD crossed a trend line last night, and it looks like it's on its way to 0.945 or even 0.95.

USDCAD has been moving sideways since major news last Friday. It may take a while before we see any movement in either direction.

CRUDE OIL is at 101.38 and may continue trading higher, as it found support at the round number 100, which is likely to be tested in the next few days.

Daily Analysis 2014-05-19

EURUSD is at 1.37, and it looks like the pair still has a way to go before it finds a new support. Despite the pin bar on Tuesday, the pair likely still needs something additional to push it up.

NZDUSD is currently at the major support level of 0.863. If this support is broken, we may see the pair fall as low as 0.855, or even lower.

USDJPY is at 101.43, and it may find support just below this area at 101.3. On the daily chart, we see that the pair left some tails at this area. Can it hold a third time?

CRUDE OIL continues to march up. It's currently trading at 101.65. This week, we could see it reach as high as 102, and if the trend gets stronger, 103 may also be reached.

GOLD is trading in a very thin channel. This consolidation is likely to break in the near future, and these levels are more support and resistance.

S&P 500 continues to go up and up. It is currently trading at 1877, and after it finds a new support, will likely try to look for a new high during this week or the next.



No major economic news today.

Daily Analysis 2014-05-21

EURUSD has steadily traded sideways over the last few days. It might be smart to wait a little longer and see which way the pair decides to go and then tag along. Buying above yesterday's high with a stop at its low, with a target at 1.375 may be a good option.

AUDUSD has tumbled over the past two days. It is now trading at a major support and could pull back up for a healthy correction. 0.93 may be a reasonable target for the next week.

USDJPY continues to fall and we may see it reach the the round number of 100 by the end of the week. On the daily chart, we see tails which can be taken as evidence of some support at this level. If the breaks below this level, if could go much lower.

CRUDE OIL has traded up to 102.75, a resistance area, but it's still too early to consider which way it will go from here.

S&P500, as opposed to the oil, has moved down and it seems like it's going to seek further support before we see another new high.

Daily Analysis 2014-05-26

EURUSD has reached the 200 EMA, which could be used as a support level in the long term. It may be best to wait one or two more days to see if this indicator can be used as a good signal.

GBPUSD is still getting support from the fast EMA (20). It may be a good choice to buy this pair with a short S/L and let the trend do the rest.

USDCAD looks like it is going to take a dive! This pair just can't seems to find a bottom. The next major support is not on the horizon!

CRUDE OIL is trading lower at the beginning of this week. Currently it's at 103.8. It moved $5 over the last two weeks, and a correction from this level back to 102 may occur.

S&P500 is at new high! Again and again momentum weakens, but it is still going up! Today there is NO trading for this index in observance of Memorial Day.
