Daily Technical Analysis for EURUSD as at 13th November 20133

DAILY OVERVIEW

Trend : Down

Comments

Yesterday EURUSD after initially trading lower reversed its direction and closed above the range of the previous two days.

Market open focus

This morning after initially trading higher off the open EURUSD has now reversed the small gains it made. The possible projected maximum daily ranges based upon current price action are 1.3360 to 1.3520.

Today’s scenarios

1. EURUSD has traded up to the 8 period moving averages which is a value area where we are monitoring the possibility that the market once more rotates to the downside. A downside break could take EURUSD back into the previous two day’s trading range. The downside target for today is the area of yesterday’s low which is also in line the low of the projected maximum daily range at 1.3360.

2. Alternatively if EURUSD can penetrate and sustain a move above the 8 period moving averages there is potential for a move up to the bottom of the previously broken upward sloping trend line. This is a move of some 70 odd pips which is well within the upper limit of the projected maximum daily range at 1.3520.

Macro trade Ideas

1. The breach of the 16th October prior isolated low has changed the daily trend on a swing basis from up to down. This negative swing bias has been confirmed by multiple breaches of trend line support and the moving averages being layered negatively. Furthermore the RSI positive divergence has been invalidated by the 7th November break down. As the dominant daily trend based on swing analysis is down corrective pullbacks especially to resistance areas could be viewed as potential value areas where shorts could be added.

2. However the weekly time frame continues to be swing positive. Therefore there is a possibility that the down trend on the daily chart is nothing more than a corrective sell off that brings the price action into potential value areas where long term swing position buy trades could be executed. It should also be noted that EURUSD has traded into a large Fibonacci support area where price action stalled and bounced. With this in mind there is potential for a substantial upside move that could bring the daily trend back into line with the weekly trend. This scenario is valid as long as EURUSD can trade above the 6th September swing long which comes in around the 1.3100 area.

The Macro Technical Targets

The upside targets are 1.3470, 1.3530, 1.3650, and 1.3830. The downside targets are 1.3300, 1.3200, 1.3100 and 1.2750.

Daily Technical Analysis for GBPUSD as at 13th November 2013

DAILY OVERVIEW

Trend : Short

Comments

Yesterday GBPUSD traded through the low of the 16th October. Although GBPUSD in the afternoon did manage to reverse some of its losses and closed and above the low of the 16th of October yesterdays move did however breach a prior swing low which effectively changes the daily trend from up to down.
Market open focus
This morning GBPUSD has broken down from its European open and trading at the lows of its overnight range. The possible projected maximum daily ranges based upon current price action are 1.5815 to 1.5980.

Today’s scenarios

1. As I write GBP is trading in a very tight opening range around the 1.5880 to 1.5905 area. A down side break will need to test and breach yesterdays low which is some 35 pips away. If a sustained break of yesterdays low is achieved a move down to the lower level of one average daily range at 1.5815 could become a possibility.

2. Alternatively as GBPUSD is fairly extended from its averages there is potential for sideways to upside correction. The 8 period moving average and broken trend line support is some 115 pips away which is slightly above the upper limit of the projected maximum daily range of some 94 pips but this target is potentially achievable.

Macro trade ideas

1. Following yesterday’s breach of the 16th October swing low the trend on a daily swing basis has changed from up to down. This move was preceded by multiple trend line breaks and the averages switching their bias from up to down. With the price action having also broken through Fibonacci support the down side is now very much in focus on the daily time frame. Conservative entry methods as a means to participate in the down move could be to wait for possible pullbacks to key value areas such as the 8 period moving averages and trend line resistance.

2. Alternatively as the weekly time frame continues to have a positive swing bias and with the price action on the daily time frame very much extended from the averages there is a possibility of a substantial upside correction.

Marco Technical Targets

Daily Technical Analysis for USDCHF as at 13th November 2013

DAILY OVERVIEW

Trend : Up

Comments

Yesterday USDCHF traded down to the 8 period moving averages as the price action moved away from trend line resistance. However the price action has for the fourth day opened up and trading within last Thursday’s range.

Market open focus

This morning USDCHF has traded within 10 pips either side of the European opening price and well with last night’s overnight range. The possible projected maximum daily ranges based upon current price being 0.9117 to 0.9220.

Today’s scenarios

1. This morning USDCHF has traded down to the 8 period moving averages which is a potential value area for longs to be placed. The target any such move will be the high of the 7th November which is slightly above one average daily range of about 70 pips.

2. Alternatively the failure to break above the high of the four day range could lead to a breach of the 8 period moving averages. A potential move down could hit the target of the broken downward sloping trend line.

Macro trade ideas

1. On a basis swing bases the trend is now positive following the breach of the prior isolated high. The moving averages are now layered positively and the breach of trend line resistance and the invalidation of Fibonacci resistance and the negative RSI divergence give further confirmation to the upside. The price action is somewhat consolidating within a four day range. Therefore we would like to see a break of Thursday’s high and trend line resistance so as to give further confirmation to the up move with the initial target being the 9th September swing high at 0.9455.

2. However the weekly time frame continues to point down. Therefore a breach of the 8 period moving averages puts into play a potential move to the 34 period moving averages
Macro technical levels
The macro technical levels are 0.9020 0.8930, 0.8570 and 0.9200.

Daily Technical Analysis for USDJPY as at 13th November 2013

DAILY OVERVIEW

Trend : Up

Comments

Yesterday USDJPY traded up to but stalled at converging triangle resistance. This move places the price action well within a possible Fibonacci resistance shorting area.

Market open focus

This morning USDJPY broke lower from the open of the European session only to find support at the bottom of the overnight range. The possible projected maximum daily ranges based upon current price are 99.00 to 100.00.

Today’s scenarios

1. A breach and sustained move above trend line resistance puts in play a move to the upper level of the projected maximum daily range which is at the psychological 100 level.

2. Alternatively both the Fibonacci resistance and upper trend line of the converging triangle could offer downside pressure that pushes USDJPY back to the 8 period moving averages. This would entail a move of some 80 pips which is slightly higher than the average daily range which is just under 70 pips.

Macro trade ideas

1. With USDJPY having breached the prior swing high of the 17th October has changed the trend on a swing bias to up. The change of the daily trend now puts the swing bias in line with the weekly trend. Yesterdays strong open puts a potential break of the converging triangle to the upside sharply into focus. However as the psychological 100 level is now in sight this barrier will have to be breached before both 100.60 and 101.50 swing levels can be taken out.

2. Alternatively downside pressure offered by the Fibonacci area and trend line resistance could offer a catalyst that pushes USDJPY back to trend line support.

Daily Technical Analysis for Gold as at 13th November 2013

DAILY OVERVIEW

Trend : Down

Yesterday’s summary

Yesterday Gold continued to trade lower following Thursdays break down from its trading range and the 8 period moving averages.
Mark open focus
This morning Gold broke higher from this morning’s European open. The possible projected maximum daily ranges based upon current price being 1259.00 to 1280.00.

Today’s scenarios

1. A breach of yesterdays low puts into play a potential move to the low of the 14th October. A move to this area is just above the average daily range.

2. Alternatively long scalping opportunities might arise as the price action becomes extended from the averages.

Macro Trade ideas

1. As the dominant daily trend is down corrective sideways to up movements could potentially be viewed as selling opportunities with 28th June’s low at 1180.20 being the target.

2. Alternatively if Gold can hold above the 14th October low there is a possibility that a higher low is printed and a move to the 8 period moving averages.

Daily Technical Analysis for Oil (WTI) as at 13th November 2013

DAILY OVERVIEW

Trend : Short

Yesterday’s summary

Yesterday WTI traded beneath the low of the 5th November as it broke down from the 8 period moving averages.

Mark open focus

This morning WTI broke higher from this morning’s European open. The possible projected maximum daily ranges based upon current price being 92.05 to 94.25.

Today’s scenarios

1. Following the breakdown from the 8 period moving averages we are monitoring a potential breach of yesterday’s low with the initial target being trend line support. However a move to this level will exceed the average daily range of $1.37.

2. Alternatively a continued move above today’s open could see oil trade up to the 8 period moving averages.
Macro Trade ideas
1. WTI on a daily swing basis is trading with a negative trend and this is confirmed by the moving averages confirming this direction. The breach of the 6th November low will confirm the rejection of 8 period moving averages 93.50 resistance area. We are monitoring a potential move down to trend line support.

2. However the weekly time frame remains positive. This might indication the current daily down trend is a large corrective move. As the price action is now trading within weekly Fibonacci support a sustained break above the 8 period moving averages could see WTI trade up to the 34 period moving averages.

Macro technical levels

110.50, 107.65, 100.65, 100.40, 98.20, 92.50, 91.20, 89.30, 85.60, 84.50, 77.25

Daily Technical Analysis from ACFX 11/14/2013

Daily Technical Analysis for EURUSD as at 14th November 2013

DAILY OVERVIEW

Trend : Down

Yesterday’s summary
Yesterday EURUSD traded up to previously broken trend line support and closed above the 8 period moving averages.

Market open focus
This morning EURUSD is trading slightly lower from its overnight high. The possible projected maximum daily ranges based upon current price action are 1.3397 to 1.3562.

Today’s scenarios
1. EURUSD has traded above to the 8 period moving averages which is a value area where we are monitoring the possibility that the market once more rotates to the downside. This is reinforced by the EURUSD now trading at previous broken support. A downside break could mean EURUSD test the low of yesterday’s trading range which is also in line with the low of today’s projected trading range.

2. Alternatively as EURUSD has penetrated and closed above the 8 period moving averages there is potential for a move to the 34 period moving averages. However the price action must first be able to penetrate current trend line resistance. Today’s upside target of the 34 period moving averages will require a move of some 125 pips which is slightly above the projected average daily range of 100 pips.

Macro trade Ideas
1. The breach of the 16th October prior isolated low has changed the daily trend on a swing basis from up to down. This negative swing bias has been confirmed by multiple breaches of trend line support and the moving averages being layered negatively. Furthermore the RSI positive divergence has been invalidated by the 7th November break down. As the dominant daily trend based on swing analysis is down corrective pullbacks especially to resistance areas could be viewed as potential value areas where shorts could be added.

2. However the weekly time frame continues to be swing positive. Therefore there is a possibility that the down trend on the daily chart is nothing more than a corrective sell off that brings the price action into potential value areas where long term swing position buy trades could be executed. It should also be noted that EURUSD has traded into a large Fibonacci support area where price action stalled and bounced. With this in mind there is potential for a substantial upside move that could bring the daily trend back into line with the weekly trend. This scenario is valid as long as EURUSD can trade above the 6th September swing long which comes in around the 1.3100 area.

The Macro Technical Targets
The upside targets are 1.3470, 1.3530, 1.3650, and 1.3830. The downside targets are 1.3300, 1.3200, 1.3100 and 1.2750.

Daily Technical Analysis for GBPUSD as at 14th November 2013

DAILY OVERVIEW

Trend : Short

Yesterday’s summary
Yesterday GBPUSD had a strong bounce following its penetration of the low of the 16th October. The corrective rally took GBPUSD up to its averages and on its way penetrated a previously broken up trend line. GBPUSD finally closed at a fairly recently formed downward sloping trend line.

Market open focus
This morning GBPUSD is trading slightly lower from its overnight high. The possible projected maximum daily ranges based upon current price action are 1.5960 to 1.6125.

Today’s scenarios
1. GBP is currently trading in between the averages and at a downward sloping trend line. The area of the averages is a potential value area where shorts could possibly be entered. As the average true range is some 100 pips a down side break has the potential to erase up to 50% of yesterdays corrective rally.

2. Alternatively as GBPUSD has traded up to the averages, a break above them could see GBPUSD make an attempt at breaching the minor high pivot of the 6th November at 1.6117. This target is well inside the upper limit of today’s projected daily range.

Macro trade ideas
1. Following the breach of the 16th October swing low the trend on a daily swing basis has changed from up to down. This move was preceded by multiple trend line breaks and the averages switching their bias from up to down. With the price action having also broken through Fibonacci support the down side is now very much in focus on the daily time frame. Conservative entry methods as a means to participate in the down move could be to wait for possible pullbacks to key value areas such as the 8 period moving averages and trend line resistance.

2. Alternatively as the weekly time frame continues to have a positive swing bias and with the price action on the daily time frame very much extended from the averages there is a possibility of a substantial upside correction.

Daily Technical Analysis for USDCHF as at 14th November 2013

DAILY OVERVIEW

Trend : Up

Comments
Yesterday USDCHF traded down to the 8 period moving averages as the price action moved away from trend line resistance. However the price action has for the fifth day opened up and trading within last Thursday’s range.

Market open focus
This morning CHFUSD is trading higher from its overnight low and is bouncing off both the 8 period moving averages as previously broken trend line resistance. The possible projected maximum daily ranges based upon current price action are 0.9100 to 0.9191.

Today’s scenarios
1. This morning USDCHF is finding support at the 8 period moving averages which is a potential value area for longs to be placed. The ultimate target for any such move will be the high of the 7th November which is two average daily ranges away from the overnight low. Therefore a breach of yesterday’s high might be a more conservative and achievable target.

2. Alternatively an intraday downside reversal could see USDCHF attempt to breach the low of the 7th November being the lower limit of the 5 day trading range.

Macro trade ideas
1. On a basis swing bases the trend is now positive following the breach of the prior isolated high. The moving averages are now layered positively and the breach of trend line resistance and the invalidation of Fibonacci resistance and the negative RSI divergence give further confirmation to the upside. The price action is somewhat consolidating within a four day range. Therefore we would like to see a break of Thursday’s high and trend line resistance so as to give further confirmation to the up move with the initial target being the 9th September swing high at 0.9455.

2. However the weekly time frame continues to point down. Therefore a breach of the 8 period moving averages puts into play a potential move to the 34 period moving averages

Daily Technical Analysis for USDJPY as at 14th November 2013

DAILY OVERVIEW

Trend : Up

Yesterday’s summary
Yesterday USDJPY traded lower off converging triangle resistance as it corrected back down to the 8 period moving averages.

Market open focus
This morning USDJPY is trading higher from its overnight low as it attempts to break above trend line resistance. The possible projected maximum daily ranges based upon current price action are 99.00 to 100.00.

Today’s scenarios
1. The strong open has had the result that USDJPY has already traded an average daily range. This leads to two possibilities for the long side. That this morning’s move will soon pause as it runs out of energy or this will be a stellar up day for this currency pair. As posted yesterday a breach and sustained move above trend line resistance puts into play a move to the upper level of the projected maximum daily range which is at the psychological 100 level.

2. Alternatively both the Fibonacci resistance and upper trend line of the converging triangle could offer downside pressure that pushes USDJPY back to the 8 period moving averages. This would entail a move of some 80 pips which is slightly higher than the average daily range which is just under 70 pips.

Macro trade ideas
1. With USDJPY having breached the prior swing high of the 17th October has changed the trend on a swing bias to up. The change of the daily trend now puts the swing bias in line with the weekly trend. This morning’s strong open puts a potential break of the converging triangle to the upside sharply into focus. However as the psychological 100 level is now in sight this barrier will have to be breached before both 100.60 and 101.50 swing levels can be taken out.

2. Alternatively downside pressure offered by the Fibonacci area and trend line resistance could offer a catalyst that pushes USDJPY back to trend line support.

Daily Technical Analysis for Gold as at 14th November 2013

DAILY OVERVIEW

Trend : Down

Yesterday’s summary
Yesterday Gold corrected higher as and closed just beneath the prior days open.

Market open focus
This morning Gold is trading slightly higher from its overnight low. The possible projected maximum daily ranges based upon current price action are 1267.00 to 1287.

Today’s scenarios
1. Gold is trading up to the 8 period moving average‘s. We are monitoring the potential for a reversal that breaches yesterday’s low.

2. Alternatively long scalping opportunities might arise as the price action becomes extended from the averages.

Macro Trade ideas
1. As the dominant daily trend is down corrective sideways to up movements could potentially be viewed as selling opportunities with 28th June’s low at 1180.20 being the target.

2. Alternatively if Gold can hold above the 14th October low there is a possibility that a higher low is printed and a move to the 8 period moving averages.

Daily Technical Analysis for Oil (WTI) as at 14th November 2013

DAILY OVERVIEW

Trend : Short

Yesterday’s summary
Yesterday WTI attempted to trade back above the 8 period moving averages before finally reversing but ultimately closing slightly higher.

Mark open focus
This morning WTU is trading higher from its overnight low. The possible projected maximum daily ranges based upon current price action are 92.50 to 94.80.

Today’s scenarios
1. This morning WTI is trading back up to the 8 period moving averages which is a potential value area for shorts to be added. We are monitoring a potential move down to the 12th November of 92.84 which is well with the lower limit of the average daily range.

2. Alternatively a move above the 8 period moving averages could see WTI correct the majority of the 12th November break down.

Macro Trade ideas
1. WTI on a daily swing basis is trading with a negative trend and this is confirmed by the moving averages confirming this direction. The breach of the 6th November low will confirm the rejection of 8 period moving averages 93.50 resistance area. We are monitoring a potential move down to trend line support.

2. However the weekly time frame remains positive. This might indication the current daily down trend is a large corrective move. As the price action is now trading within weekly Fibonacci support a sustained break above the 8 period moving averages could see WTI trade up to the 34 period moving averages.

Daily Technical Analysis from ACFX 11/15/2013

Daily Technical Analysis for EURUSD as at 15th November 2013

DAILY OVERVIEW

Trend : Down

Yesterday’s summary
Yesterday EURUSD once again traded up to but was unable to breach previously broken trend line support but did manage however to closed above the 8 period moving averages.

Market open focus
EURUSD has moved 44 pips lower from its overnight high and currently trading within a 20 pip congestion area and in the middle of yesterdays low to high range. I am currently monitoring a possible early morning up or downside break to the area of yesterdays previous high or low. The possible projected maximum daily ranges based upon current price action are 1.3388 to 1.3518.

Today’s scenarios
1. EURUSD has traded above to the 8 period moving averages which is a value area where I am monitoring the possibility that the market once more rotates to the downside. This is reinforced by the EURUSD now trading at previous broken support. A downside break could mean EURUSD test the low of the 13th November trading range which is also in line with the low of today’s projected trading range.

2. Alternatively as EURUSD has penetrated and closed above the 8 period moving averages there is potential for a move to the 34 period moving averages. However the price action must first be able to penetrate current trend line resistance. Today’s upside target of the 34 period moving averages will require a move from yesterday’s low of some 170 pips which allowing for an average daily range of 100 pips might not be achievable.

Macro trade Ideas
1. The breach of the 16th October prior isolated low has changed the daily trend on a swing basis from up to down. This negative swing bias has been confirmed by multiple breaches of trend line support and the moving averages being layered negatively. Furthermore the RSI positive divergence has been invalidated by the 7th November break down. As the dominant daily trend based on swing analysis is down corrective pullbacks especially to resistance areas could be viewed as potential value areas where shorts could be added.

2. However the weekly time frame continues to be swing positive. Therefore there is a possibility that the down trend on the daily chart is nothing more than a corrective sell off that brings the price action into potential value areas where long term swing position buy trades could be executed. It should also be noted that EURUSD has traded into a large Fibonacci support area where price action stalled and bounced. With this in mind there is potential for a substantial upside move that could bring the daily trend back into line with the weekly trend. This scenario is valid as long as EURUSD can trade above the 6th September swing long which comes in around the 1.3100 area.

The Macro Technical Targets
The upside targets are 1.3470, 1.3530, 1.3650, and 1.3830. The downside targets are 1.3300, 1.3200, 1.3100 and 1.2750.

Daily Technical Analysis for GBPUSD as at 15th November 2013

DAILY OVERVIEW

Trend : Short

Yesterday’s summary
Yesterday after initially breaking down GBPUSD reversed off its lows and closed the day higher. In the process GBPUSD also penetrated and closed above the downward sloping trend line and at the 34 period moving averages.
Market open focus
This morning GBPUSD had traded some 50 pips lower from its overnight high but this move has since retraced with the price action slightly beneath yesterdays high and above this morning’s open. Furthermore GBPUSD is currently trading above the 34 period moving averages.

The possible projected maximum daily ranges based upon current price action are 1.5996 to 1.6091.

Today’s scenarios
1. I am currently monitoring the price action as it now trades near the previous day’s high resistance area. As we have already had a good 110 plus move from yesterday’s low which exceeds the current average true range reading it would be interesting to see if there GBPUSD has enough energy left to trade higher but the possibility of a further 70 pips to the upside is traded today from the current price of 1.6085 should not be ruled out.

2. However on the flip side GBPUSD has had a good up move. Therefore a failure to sustain a break above yesterday’s high could see GBPUSD once again breach trend line support but this time to the down side with the daily target being yesterday’s low at 1.5987.

Macro trade ideas
1. Following the breach of the 16th October swing low the trend on a daily swing basis has changed from up to down. This move was preceded by multiple trend line breaks and the averages switching their bias from up to down. With the price action having also broken through Fibonacci support the down side is now very much in focus on the daily time frame. Conservative entry methods as a means to participate in the down move could be to wait for possible pullbacks to key value areas such as the 8 period moving averages and trend line resistance.

2. Alternatively as the weekly time frame continues to have a positive swing bias and with the price action on the daily time frame very much extended from the averages there is a possibility of a substantial upside correction.

Daily Technical Analysis for USDCHF as at 15th November 2013

DAILY OVERVIEW

Trend : Up

Yesterday’s summary
Yesterday USDCHF reversed off it’s the previous day and its early morning low and traded substantially higher before collapsing at lunch time and paring most of its gains. However USDCHF did eventually close marginally higher.

The price action effectively has been whipping around the 8 period moving averages and bouncing of trend line support for the past two days.

Market open focus
This morning USDCHF has been trading within a tight 15 pip congestion range and some 45 pips above yesterday afternoons low and 15 pips beneath yesterday’s high. A break above or beneath this congestion area should quickly lead to a move into previous day’s support and resistance.

The possible projected maximum daily ranges based upon current price action are 0.9113 to 0.9205.

Today’s scenarios
1. This morning USDCHF continues to trade around the 8 period moving averages which a potential value area is for longs to be placed. A break above this morning congestion area will quickly lead to move into the area of the previous day’s high being 0.9176/0.9188. This area my initial point of interest as the previous day’s high will need to broken so as to allow for an upside move to happen. Allowing for the average true range calculation there is potential for at least a 30 pip move from the current level at 0.9172.

2. Alternatively break beneath this morning congestion zone puts in play a potential move to the previous days low.

Macro trade ideas
1. On a basis swing bases the trend is now positive following the breach of the prior isolated high. The moving averages are now layered positively and the breach of trend line resistance and the invalidation of Fibonacci resistance and the negative RSI divergence give further confirmation to the upside. The price action is somewhat consolidating within a four day range. Therefore we would like to see a break of Thursday’s high and trend line resistance so as to give further confirmation to the up move with the initial target being the 9th September swing high at 0.9455.

2. However the weekly time frame continues to point down. Therefore a sustained breach of the 8 period moving averages puts into play a potential move to the 34 period moving averages

Daily Technical Analysis for USDJPY as at 15th November 2013

DAILY OVERVIEW

Trend : Up

Yesterday’s summary
Yesterday USDJPY had a good up day as it reversed off the previous day’s low. The resulting rally did not pull back at all during yesterday’s trading session. In the process USDJPY printed an above average daily range and more importantly closed above both the downward sloping trend line and significant 100 level.

Market open focus
This morning USDJPY is trading a little under 40 pips from the morning high after it experience its first substantial retracement of the past 24 hours.

The possible projected maximum daily ranges based upon current price action are 99.50 to 100.65.

Today’s scenarios
1. I am currently monitoring if USDJPY can break back into and then sustain a move above today’s high. Yesterdays stellar up move that finally penetrated the 100 level does put in question how much energy has been used up to break above the downward sloping trend line. However this morning minor retracement could possibly be followed by acceleration away from the 100 level. Allowing for the upside projection of 100.65 based upon the true range calculation potentially there is in the region of a further 50 pips available today on the long side. However it should be noted that this calculation is based off average projected range and daily ranges vary greatly day to day.

2. Alternatively that the converging triangle high and the 100 level has been breached do not mean it is a simple case of up and don’t look back. USDJPY is still trading within a big Fibonacci resistance area and the break above both the downward sloping trend line and significant 100 levels could potentially be a bear trap. A failure to therefore to sustain a move above the high that was printed this morning could lead to a potential reversal at least challenges the 100 level and then broken trend line resistance.

Macro trade ideas
1. With USDJPY having breached the prior swing high of the 17th October has changed the trend on a swing bias to up. The change of the daily trend now puts the swing bias in line with the weekly trend. Yesterday’s breach of both the downward sloping trend line and significant 100 level now puts in play potential moves to both 100.60 and 101.50 swing levels .

2. Alternatively failure to sustain a move above the downward sloping trend line and significant 100 level added to the downside pressure offered by the Fibonacci area could lead to USDJPY trading back deep into the prior triangle pattern.

Yesterday’s summary
Friday EURUSD once again traded up to but was unable to breach previously broken trend line support but continues to trade above the 8 period moving averages.

Market open focus
EURUSD had attempted to trade under Friday’s high but has so far been unable to sustain this move. I am currently monitoring an initial attempt to breach Friday’s high. The possible projected maximum daily ranges based upon current price action are 1.3400 to 1.3580.

Today’s scenarios
1. EURUSD has traded above to the 8 period moving averages which is a value area where I am monitoring the possibility that the market once more rotates to the downside. This is reinforced by the EURUSD now trading at previous broken support. A downside break could mean EURUSD test the low of the 14th November trading range which is also just above the low of today’s projected trading range.

2. Alternatively as EURUSD has penetrated and closed above the 8 period moving averages there is potential for a move to the 34 period moving averages. However the price action must first be able to penetrate current trend line resistance. Today’s upside target of the 34 period moving averages will require a move from today’s low of some 104 pips which is in line with the high of today’s projected daily range.

Macro trade Ideas
1. The breach of the 16th October prior isolated low has changed the daily trend on a swing basis from up to down. This negative swing bias has been confirmed by multiple breaches of trend line support and the moving averages being layered negatively. Furthermore the RSI positive divergence has been invalidated by the 7th November break down. As the dominant daily trend based on swing analysis is down corrective pullbacks especially to resistance areas could be viewed as potential value areas where shorts could be added.

2. However the weekly time frame continues to be swing positive. Therefore there is a possibility that the down trend on the daily chart is nothing more than a corrective sell off that brings the price action into potential value areas where long term swing position buy trades could be executed. It should also be noted that EURUSD has traded into a large Fibonacci support area where price action stalled and bounced. With this in mind there is potential for a substantial upside move that could bring the daily trend back into line with the weekly trend. This scenario is valid as long as EURUSD can trade above the 6th September swing long which comes in around the 1.3100 area.

The Macro Technical Targets
The upside targets are 1.3470, 1.3530, 1.3650, and 1.3830. The downside targets are 1.3300, 1.3200, 1.3100 and 1.2750.

Daily Technical Analysis for GBPUSD as at 18th November 2013

DAILY OVERVIEW

Trend : Short

Yesterday’s summary
Friday GBPUSD initially traded lower off the previous day’s high only for the down move to stall and consolidate before finally breaking higher later in the London session. GBPUSD closed the minor swing high of the 6th November and above both the downward sloping trend line and at the 34 period moving averages.

Market open focus
This morning GBPUSD has breached Friday’s high but has just fallen back into the early morning range.

The possible projected maximum daily ranges based upon current price action are 1.6040 to 1.6145.

Today’s scenarios
1. I am currently monitoring the price action as it now trades near the Friday’s high resistance area. The move so far off Friday’s low is some 97 pips. As the current average daily true range reading is around 100 pips it would be interesting to see if GBPUSD can break and sustain a move Friday’s high with the initial target being the large over head multi month trend line. A move to this level from the current price of 1.6130 would need a move of some 100 pips which might not be achievable today.

2. However on the flip side GBPUSD has had a good up move. Therefore a failure to sustain a break above Friday’s high could see GBPUSD once again trade back to trend line support.

Macro trade ideas
1. Following the breach of the 16th October swing low the trend on a daily swing basis has changed from up to down. This move was preceded by multiple trend line breaks and the averages switching their bias from up to down. With the price action having also broken through Fibonacci support the down side is now very much in focus on the daily time frame. Conservative entry methods as a means to participate in the down move could be to wait for possible pullbacks to key value areas such as the 8 period moving averages and trend line resistance.

2. Alternatively as the weekly time frame continues to have a positive swing bias and with the price action on the daily time frame very much extended from the averages there is a possibility of a substantial upside correction.

Daily Technical Analysis for USDCHF as at 18th November 2013

DAILY OVERVIEW

Trend : Up

Yesterday’s summary
Friday USDCHF initially traded up and traded above the previous day’s high only for the price action to reverse aggressively beneath the previous session intraday low. However USDCHF did experience a bounce off its low and finally closed just beneath the 8 period moving averages

Market open focus
This morning USDCHF has traded some 44 pips lower off its morning high as it moves towards prior broken trend line support.

The possible projected maximum daily ranges based upon current price action are 0.9090 to 0.9190.

Today’s scenarios
1. Friday’s market negativity has continued into this morning’s session. If trend line can be breached today’s downside target is the 34 period moving averages which is slightly above the lower limit of the current daily average range.

2. Alternatively support can hold above the prior broken trend line there is a possibility that USDCHF trades back up to the previous session high.

Macro trade ideas
1. On a basis swing bases the trend is now positive following the breach of the prior isolated high. The moving averages are now layered positively and the breach of trend line resistance and the invalidation of Fibonacci resistance and the negative RSI divergence give further confirmation to the upside. The price action is somewhat consolidating within a four day range. Therefore we would like to see a break of 13th November high and trend line resistance so as to give further confirmation to the up move with the initial target being the 9th September swing high at 0.9455.

2. However the weekly time frame continues to point down. Therefore a sustained breach of the 8 period moving averages puts into play a potential move to the 34 period moving averages

Macro technical levels
The macro technical levels are 0.9020 0.8930, 0.8570 and 0.9200.

Daily Technical Analysis for USDJPY as at 15th November 2013

DAILY OVERVIEW

Trend : Up

Yesterday’s summary
Friday USDJPY opened strongly as it quickly broke above the previous sessions high. Apart from a minor early morning corrective pull back the upward momentum continued and at one point looked like breaching the 11th September swing high. This attempted however failed as USDJPY moderately corrected late in the London session

Market open focus
This morning USDJPY is trading a little under 50 pips lower from the Friday’s high which is also near to the previous session low area. We are monitoring this important intraday swing level for signs of support.

The possible projected maximum daily ranges based upon current price action are 99.70 to 100.60.

Today’s scenarios
1. I am currently monitoring if USDJPY can find support and bounce off the previous session intraday low. This swing point is also in the area of the important 100 level with the current market price being 99.97. If support does hold I will monitor a possible up move at least to Friday’s high and then for USDJPY to make a further attempt at breaching the t11th September swing high level of 100.61. This move is well with the upper limit of average projected daily range.

2. Alternatively the 100 level is offering some resistance. If the previous sessions low is breached there is a possibility that USDJPY trades back to the top of broken converging triangle. This move is within the lower limit of the average projected daily range.

Macro trade ideas
1. With USDJPY having breached the prior swing high of the 17th October has changed the trend on a swing bias to up. The change of the daily trend now puts the swing bias in line with the weekly trend. The breach of both the downward sloping trend line and significant 100 level now puts in play potential moves to both 100.60 and 101.50 swing levels .

2. Alternatively failure to sustain a move above the downward sloping trend line and significant 100 level added to the downside pressure offered by the Fibonacci area could lead to USDJPY trading back deep into the prior triangle pattern.

DAILY OVERVIEW

Trend : Down

Yesterday’s summary
Yesterday EURUSD did manage to breach the over head trend line resistance only for the price action to fall back and close higher but under this level.

Market open focus
This morning EURUSD has traded down some 50 pips from yesterday’s high but is trading well above yesterday’s low. I am currently monitoring if EURUSD will break higher and in gear with the intraday trend.

The possible projected maximum daily ranges based upon current price action are 1.3439 to 1.3596.

Today’s scenarios
1. EURUSD has traded above to the 8 period moving averages which is a value area where I am monitoring the possibility that the market once more rotates to the downside. This is reinforced by the EURUSD now trading at previous broken support. A downside break could mean EURUSD test the low of the 15th November trading range which is in line with the low of today’s projected trading range.

2. Alternatively as EURUSD has penetrated and closed above the 8 period moving averages there is potential for a move to the 34 period moving averages. However the price action must first be able to penetrate current trend line resistance. Today’s upside target of the 34 period moving averages will require a move from today’s low of some 70 pips which is in within the upper limit of today’s projected high of the daily range.

Macro trade Ideas
1. The breach of the 16th October prior isolated low has changed the daily trend on a swing basis from up to down. This negative swing bias has been confirmed by multiple breaches of trend line support and the moving averages being layered negatively. Furthermore the RSI positive divergence has been invalidated by the 7th November break down. As the dominant daily trend based on swing analysis is down corrective pullbacks especially to resistance areas could be viewed as potential value areas where shorts could be added.

2. However the weekly time frame continues to be swing positive. Therefore there is a possibility that the down trend on the daily chart is nothing more than a corrective sell off that brings the price action into potential value areas where long term swing position buy trades could be executed. It should also be noted that EURUSD has traded into a large Fibonacci support area where price action stalled and bounced. With this in mind there is potential for a substantial upside move that could bring the daily trend back into line with the weekly trend. This scenario is valid as long as EURUSD can trade above the 6th September swing long which comes in around the 1.3100 area.

The Macro Technical Targets
The upside targets are 1.3470, 1.3530, 1.3650, and 1.3830. The downside targets are 1.3300, 1.3200, 1.3100 and 1.2750.

DAILY OVERVIEW

Trend : Short

Yesterday’s summary
Yesterday GBPUSD experience a narrow range day with some 70 odd pips separating the high to the low. This is well below the daily average of 100 pips. GBPUSD continues to trade above the swing high of the 6th November and above both the downward sloping trend line and at the 34 period moving averages.

Market open focus
This morning GBPUSD has open and is trading in the middle of yesterday’s range. We are monitoring a possible initial move to the high or low of this range.

The possible projected maximum daily ranges based upon current price action are 1.6050 to 1.6180.

Today’s scenarios
1. I am currently monitoring the price action as it now trades in between yesterday’s range. As this morning’s range is fairly tight an upside breach of the overnight high of 1.6148 could see GBPUSD make an attempt at reaching the multi month downward sloping trend line. However this would entail a move of 140 odd pips from the overnight low and therefore this might not be achievable during today’s session.

2. Alternatively a break beneath yesterday’s low could see GBPUSD make an attempt at breaching trend line support. This move will be well within the projected daily range.

Macro trade ideas
1. Following the breach of the 16th October swing low the trend on a daily swing basis has changed from up to down. This move was preceded by multiple trend line breaks and the averages switching their bias from up to down. With the price action having also broken through Fibonacci support the down side is now very much in focus on the daily time frame. Conservative entry methods as a means to participate in the down move could be to wait for possible pullbacks to key value areas such as the 8 period moving averages and trend line resistance.

2. Alternatively as the weekly time frame continues to have a positive swing bias and with the price action on the daily time frame very much extended from the averages there is a possibility of a substantial upside correction.

This morning USDCHF is trading within yesterday’s New York range in what has so far been a quiet open.

The possible projected maximum daily ranges based upon current price action are 0.9070 to 0.9165.

Today’s scenarios
1. With the price action now trading within moving average support and at trend line support a break above the overnight high of 0.9142 could see USDCHF attempt to trade up to the 15th November high.

2. Alternatively a breach of the New York session low of 0.9095 could see USDCHF breach trend line support and trade down to the 34 period moving averages.

Macro trade ideas
1. On a basis swing bases the trend is now positive following the breach of the prior isolated high. The price action is trading within the positively layered moving averages and above trend line support after what has been a substantial downside correction. An upside break would have initial target of the 9th September swing high at 0.9455.

DAILY OVERVIEW

Trend : Up

Yesterday’s summary
Yesterday USDJPY was unable to continue with its upward momentum as it broke beneath Friday’s low. However late in the session USDJPY did manage to correct somewhat and in the process the price action managed to close marginally above Friday’s low.

Market open focus
This morning USDJPY has once again resumed its downward correction and has traded some 25 pips beneath yesterday’s low. I am monitoring price action to see if it can sustain a move beneath yesterday’s low.

The price action has move some 88 pips lower off the 15th November high. This exceeds a daily true range projection by some 18 pips. Therefore USDJPY may find it needs to retrace somewhat before moving lower. The upside project is 100.25.

Today’s scenarios
1. I am currently monitoring if USDJPY can bounce off the trend line support with a resulting move taking the price action back up to at least the 100 level.

2. Alternatively a failure to sustain a move above the previous day’s low could see USDJPY trade back down to the area of the 13th November low at 99.10.

Macro trade ideas
1. With USDJPY having breached the prior swing high of the 17th October has changed the trend on a swing bias to up. The change of the daily trend now puts the swing bias in line with the weekly trend.

Daily Technical Analysis for EURUSD as at 20th November 2013

Yesterday’s summary
Yesterday European open was initially positive as EURUSD traded marginally above the previous day’s high. However EURUSD reversed during the early morning session and tested but did not breach the previous day’s low. The holding of support gave EURUSD an opportunity to build a base from where it once again tested and this time breached intraday resistance. Ultimately EURUSD closed the day up and above trend line resistance.

Market open focus
The overnight session has seen EURUSD trade 33 pips above the previous day’s high. However the price action found resistance at the 34 period moving averages and has since retraced most of its gains and is now trading just above intraday support.

We are monitoring the price action around the overnight 1hour pivot high for an indication of today’s possible market direction with potential longs above 1.3580 and shorts beneath 1.3530.

The possible projected maximum daily ranges based upon current price action are 1.3480 to 1.3580.

Today’s scenarios
1. EURUSD has traded up to but found resistance at the 34 period moving averages. If the price action can hold beneath this average there is a possibility that EURUSD trades down to the previous day’s low which coincides with the 8 period moving averages.

2. Alternatively as EURUSD has now made an initial attempt to penetrate the 34 period moving averages so early in the session there is a possibility that a further attempt is made today to breach this level. However the move up from yesterday’s low are some 90 pips which equate to us around 1 daily average range. Therefore is a question mark on how much more energy EURUSD has left to continue the up thrust from here.

Macro trade Ideas
1. The breach of the 16th October prior isolated low has changed the daily trend on a swing basis from up to down. This negative swing bias has been confirmed by multiple breaches of trend line support and the moving averages being layered negatively. As the dominant daily trend based on swing analysis is down corrective pullbacks especially to resistance areas could be viewed as potential value areas where shorts could be added.

Daily Technical Analysis for EURUSD as at 21st November 2013

Yesterday’s summary
During yesterday’s session EURUSD initially traded higher. This move resulted in EURUSD printing a 1 hour swing pivot high with a range of some 45 pips. During the London morning session EURUSD tested and traded around the bottom of this range prior to breaking aggressively down in the New York session. EURUSD eventually found support late in the New York session slightly above the 1.3400 level.

Market open focus
Overnight EURUSD has traded within a 30 pip range above the 1.3400 level. The key morning levels to watch are 1.3410 and 1.3450.

The possible projected maximum daily ranges based upon current price action are 1.3350 to 1.3510.

Today’s scenarios
1. EURUSD is trading within a 30 pip early morning range. I am monitoring potential shorts below 1.3410 with a target of 1.3350. However the 1.3400 may offer additional support.

2. Alternatively a potential break above 1.3450 has an upside intraday target of 1.3510.

Macro trade Ideas
1. The breach of the 16th October prior isolated low has changed the daily trend on a swing basis from up to down. The move back up to the averages and previously broken trend line yesterday proved a good value area where shorts could be added. I am monitoring a continuation of the move down to the 7th November low at 1.3300 levels a prior daily swing low.

2. However the weekly time frame continues to be swing positive. Therefore there is a possibility that the down trend on the daily chart is nothing more than a corrective sell off that brings the price action into potential value areas where long term swing position buy trades could be executed. It should also be noted that EURUSD has traded into a large Fibonacci support area where price action stalled and bounced.

1. With USDJPY having breached the prior swing high of the 17th October has changed the trend on a swing bias to up. The change of the daily trend now puts the swing bias in line with the weekly trend. The breach of both the downward sloping trend line and significant 100 levels now puts in play potential moves 101.50 swing levels. The previous 100.60 target having been reached this morning.

2. Alternatively failure to sustain a move above the 100.60 level could possibly see USDJPY trade back to the prior broken converging triangle.

Daily Technical Analysis for EURUSD as at 22nd November 2013

Yesterday’s summary
Yesterday initially EURUSD traded lower and marginally breached the 1.3400 level. This down move turned out to be the full extent of yesterday’s negativity as EURUSD reversed and broke higher from this level during the London session.

During the New York session EURUSD continued to trade higher and eventually close near the top of its daily range.

Market open focus
EURUSD has been trading within a 40 odd pip overnight and Tokyo session range being 1.3444 to 1.3486. Currently EURUSD is currently attempting to breach the top of this range.

The key intraday levels to watch are 1.3399, 1.3433, 1.3444, 1.3486, 1.3532, and 1.3578.

The possible projected maximum daily ranges based upon current price action are 1.3399 to 1.3510.

Today’s scenarios
1. EURUSD is trading within a 40 pip early morning range. I am monitoring potential shorts below 1.3444 with a target of 1.3399. However the 1.3433 may offer additional support.

2. Alternatively a potential break above 1.3486 has an upside intraday target of 1.3510.

Macro trade Ideas
1. The breach of the 16th October prior isolated low has changed the daily trend on a swing basis from up to down. The move back up to the averages and previously broken trend line has proved a good value area where shorts could be added. I am monitoring a continuation of the move down to the 7th November low at 1.3300 levels a prior daily swing low.

2. However the weekly time frame continues to be swing positive. Therefore there is a possibility that the down trend on the daily chart is nothing more than a corrective sell off that brings the price action into potential value areas where long term swing position buy trades could be executed. It should also be noted that EURUSD has traded into a large Fibonacci support area where price action stalled and bounced. With this in mind there is potential for a substantial upside move that could bring the daily trend back into line with the weekly trend. This scenario is valid as long as EURUSD can trade above the 1st September swing long which comes in around the 1.3100 area.

The Macro Technical Targets
The upside targets are 1.3470, 1.3530, 1.3650, and 1.3830. The downside targets are 1.3300, 1.3200, 1.3100 and 1.2750.

Daily Technical Analysis for GBPUSD as at 22nd November 2013

Yesterday’s summary
GBPUSD traded lower during the Tokyo session before it found support and reversed at the 1.6070 level. Off this low GBPUSD broke higher during the European / London session. The move higher continued into the New York session with the GBPUSD eventually closing at its highs and printing a large 130 pip daily range.

Market open focus
This morning’s Tokyo session range of 1.6174 and 1.6202 being some 27 pips is relatively small compared to the prior sessions. GBPUSD has already made one attempt this morning to trade above the high of this range.

The key intraday levels to watch are 1.6070, 1.6108, 1.6174, and 1.6202.
The possible projected maximum daily ranges based upon current price action are 1.6100 to 1.6275.

Today’s scenarios
1. GBPUSD is trading within a 27 pip early morning range. I am monitoring potential shorts below 1.6174 with a target of 1.6100.

2. Alternatively a potential break above 1.6202 has an upside intraday target of 1.6275.

Macro trade ideas
1. The breach of the 16th October swing low the trend on a daily swing basis has changed from up to down. However the breach of the 6th November minor swing high and the averages crossing positively does put a question mark with respect to the strength of this trend. Despite this and with GBPUSD now trading up to multi month trend line resistance may offer a potential opportunity for the price action to once again reverse to the down side.

2. Alternatively the weekly time frame continues to have a positive swing bias which could indicate that the daily chart negativity could be little more than a downside correction. A break above the 23rd October high would confirm this scenario.

The possible projected maximum daily ranges based upon current price action are 0.9078 to 0.9192.

Today’s scenarios

2. Alternatively a potential break above 0.9150 has an upside intraday target of 0.9192.

Macro trade ideas
1. On a basis swing bases the trend is now positive following the breach of the prior isolated high. The price action has broken higher since trading within positively layered moving averages and above trend line support after what has been a substantial downside correction. An upside break would have initial target of the 9th September swing high at 0.9455.

2. However the weekly time frame continues to point down. Therefore a sustained breach of the 8 period moving averages puts into play a potential move to the 34 period moving averages

Daily Technical Analysis for EURUSD as at 2nd December 2013

Yesterday’s summary
Friday EURUSD traded within a tight 25 pip range during the Tokyo and London sessions prior to taking a 19 pip leg lower during New York trading. EURUSD finally closed at the upward sloping trend line.

The technical reason for Friday’s small range can be seen by the price action being squeezed between forces of support and resistance.

Market open focus
This morning’s Tokyo session has seen EURUSD trade some 31 higher off Friday’s session low. With the price action now trading above the trend line, I am monitoring possible break outs of this morning range during London trading.

The key intraday levels to watch are: 1.3489, 1.3517, 1.3598, and 1.3622.
The possible projected maximum daily ranges based upon current price action are 1.3535 to 1.3655.

Today’s scenarios
1. EURUSD is trading within a 31 pip early morning range. I am monitoring potential shorts below 1.3598 with a target of 1.3535.

2. Alternatively a potential break above 1.3622 has an upside intraday target of 1.3655.

Macro trade Ideas
1. The breach of the 16th October prior isolated low has changed the daily trend on a swing basis from up to down. The move back up to the averages and previously broken trend line has proved a good value area where shorts could be added. I am monitoring a continuation of the move down to the 7th November low at 1.3300 levels being a prior daily swing low.

2. Alternatively the weekly time frame continues to be swing positive. Therefore there is a possibility that the down trend on the daily chart is nothing more than a corrective sell off that brings the price action into potential value areas where long term swing position buy trades could be executed. It should also be noted that EURUSD has traded into a large Fibonacci support area where price action stalled and bounced. With this in mind there is potential for a substantial upside move that could bring the daily trend back into line with the weekly trend. This scenario is valid as long as EURUSD can trade above the 1st September swing long which comes in around the 1.3100 area.

The Macro Technical Targets
The upside targets are 1.3470, 1.3530, 1.3650, and 1.3830. The downside targets are 1.3300, 1.3200, 1.3100 and 1.2750.

Daily Technical Analysis for GBPUSD as at 2nd December2013

Yesterday’s summary
Friday GBPUSD closed 27 pips higher in what was a fairly volatile trading day of that printed a 70 pip range
The technical reason behind Friday’s relatively volatile session could be put down to need for GBPUSD catch its breath prior to breaking higher. Furthermore with the price action trading up to the 1.6385 to 1.6400 area of prior resistance and if you add to this the Friday factor with traders not wishing to place bets and add exposure over the weekend gave GBPUSD an excuse of closing without making any decisive move through or bounce lower off the current overhead resistance area.

Market open focus
This morning’s Tokyo session has been relatively active with GBPUSD resuming its upward momentum and gaining some 90 pips from the Friday night low. I am monitoring a potential for further upside momentum into the London open.

The key intraday levels to watch are: 1.6132, 1.6174, 1.6367 and 1.6442.
The possible projected maximum daily ranges based upon current price action are 1.6345 to 1.6452.

Today’s scenarios
1. GBPUSD has traded a 70 pip range during the Tokyo session and added some 90 pips off Friday nights low. After such a strong open with GBPUSD effectively printing one daily range during Tokyo trading further upside maybe limited. Notwithstanding this I am monitoring potential for further upside above 1.6442.

2. Alternatively as the price action is now extended from its averages there potential for an intraday correction. I am monitoring an initial move down to 1.6367.

Macro trade ideas
1. The breach of the 23rd October swing high has changed the trend on a daily swing basis from down to up. This move has also taken out the prior high of the 1st October and multi month trend line resistance. With the price action in the daily time frame also being confirmed on the weekly time frame there is potential for a multi month move higher with an attempt at the 1.7045 level.

2. Alternatively the rising wedge formation if triggered could offer a powerful selling opportunity that takes GBPUSD back down to the 7th July low of 1.4810.

Yesterday’s summary
Friday’s price saw USDCHF trade in a 43 pip range in. The session was volatile session as USDCHD attempted to move lower prior to reversing and closing the day at its highs. The bounce came off support that is being offered by the downward sloping broken trend line with the price action trading within a bullish falling wedge pattern. A breaks up or down from will either validate or fail this pattern formation.

Market open focus
USDCHF is trading within a 20 pip opening range. I am monitoring for signs of increased activity during the London session.

The key intraday levels to watch are 0.9027, 0.9055, 0.9107 and 0.9131.
The possible projected maximum daily ranges based upon current price action are 0.9000 to 0.9100.

Today’s scenarios
1. USDCHF is trading with a very tight opening range. I am monitoring for potential breaks 0.9055 with a target of 0.9100.

2. Alternatively a failure to break above 0.9055 could see USDCHF potentially trade down to 0.9027 with further targets being 0.9000.

Macro trade ideas
1. On a basis swing bases the trend is now positive following the breach of the prior isolated high. However the price action has been struggling to extend a move away from the downside sloping trend line. Notwithstanding this as long USDCHF can trade above 0.8889 being the current isolated low then the potential for a substantial upside breakout is possibility.

2. However the weekly time frame continues to point down. Therefore a sustained breach of the 34 period moving averages puts into play a move to the 0.8889 isolated low areas.

Daily Technical Analysis for USDJPY as at 2nd December 2013

Yesterday’s summary
Friday saw USDJPY closed near its open in what was a fairly volatile 50 pip daily range.

The technical reasons behind Friday’s inactivity could be put down to USDJPY stellar rise which has seen the price action become extended from the averages. I will continue to monitor the 101.00 as a support area with the next logical target being the 22nd May swing pivot high of 103.70. However a controlled correction should not be ruled out.

Market open focus
This morning’s trading has been volatile with USDJPY trading within a 36 pip range. The price action is currently trading at the high of its morning range. I will be monitoring the price action for further upside during this morning’s trading.

The key intraday levels to watch are 100.13, 101.35, 102.24 and 102.61.

The possible projected maximum daily ranges based upon current price action are 101.90 to 102.85.

Today’s scenarios
1. USDJPY has traded in a 36 pip opening range. I am monitoring the price action for breaches of 102.61 with a target of 102.85.

2. Alternatively there is potential break below 102.24 with a target of 101.90.

Macro trade ideas
1. With USDJPY having breached the prior swing high of the 17th October has changed the trend on a swing bias to up. The change of the daily trend now puts the swing bias in line with the weekly trend. The breach of both the downward sloping trend line and significant 100 levels now puts in play potential moves 103.73 swing level which is also a major multi year high. The previous 101.52 target having been breached this morning.

2. Alternatively as USDJPY is now becoming extended from its averages there is a possibility that USDJPY corrects down to these averages.

Daily Technical Analysis for EURUSD as at 3rd December 2013

Yesterday’s summary
Yesterday’s trading saw EURUSD trade 55 lower in what was a 90 pip range day.
EURUSD continues to trade and close to the within a large expanding triangle and horizontal congestion range. Yesterdays down move coincided with EURUSD trading up into the previous 3 day’s session highs

Market open focus
This morning’s EURUSD has been trading within a 30 pip range. I am monitoring the price action as it trades with the 1.3557 to 1.3525 previous day’s range for an indication of possible market direction during today’s session.

The key intraday levels to watch are 1.3525 1.3557, 1.3598 and 1.3622.
The possible projected maximum daily ranges based upon current price action are 1.3485 to 1.3600.

Today’s scenarios

1. EURUSD is trading within a 30 pip early morning Tokyo range. I am monitoring potential shorts below 1.3525 with a target of 1.3485.

2. Alternatively a potential break above 1.3557 has an upside intraday target of 1.3600.

Macro trade Ideas
1. The breach of the 16th October prior isolated low has changed the daily trend on a swing basis from up to down. The move back up to the averages and previously broken trend line has proved a good value area where shorts could be added. I am monitoring a continuation of the move down to the 7th November low at 1.3300 levels being a prior daily swing low.

2. Alternatively the weekly time frame continues to be swing positive. Therefore there is a possibility that the down trend on the daily chart is nothing more than a corrective sell off that brings the price action into potential value areas where long term swing position buy trades could be executed. It should also be noted that EURUSD has traded into a large Fibonacci support area where price action stalled and bounced. With this in mind there is potential for a substantial upside move that could bring the daily trend back into line with the weekly trend. This scenario is valid as long as EURUSD can trade above the 1st September swing long which comes in around the 1.3100 area.

The Macro Technical Targets
The upside targets are 1.3470, 1.3530, 1.3650, and 1.3830. The downside targets are 1.3300, 1.3200, 1.3100 and 1.2750.

Daily Technical Analysis for GBPUSD as at 2nd December2013

Yesterday’s summary
Yesterday’s GBPUSD traded a 100 pip range which saw it close some 20 pips below its previous day’s close. It would appear the 1.6385 area is offering some resistance and with the price action extend from the averages is the possible technical reason for yesterdays sell off.

Market open focus
This morning’s open has been relatively busy with trading up by some 45 pips off this sessions low. This move has taken GBPUSD back into the 1.6373 to 1.6442 previous day’s trading range.

The key intraday levels to watch are 1.6132, 1.6174, 1.6373 and 1.6442.
The possible projected maximum daily ranges based upon current price action are 1.6300 to 1.6435.

Today’s scenarios
1. GBPUSD has traded back into the 1.6373 to 1.6442 previous day’s range. I am monitoring a potential up move to 1.6442.

2. Alternatively a cross back under 1.6373 could see GBPUSD trade back down to 1.6300.

Macro trade ideas
1. The breach of the 23rd October swing high has changed the trend on a daily swing basis from down to up. This move has also taken out the prior high of the 1st October and multi month trend line resistance. With the price action in the daily time frame also being confirmed on the weekly time frame there is potential for a multi month move higher with an attempt at the 1.7045 level.

2. Alternatively the rising wedge formation if triggered could offer a powerful selling opportunity that takes GBPUSD back down to the 7th July low of 1.4810.

Yesterday’s summary
Yesterday’s USDCHF traded a 67 pip range day as it closed 15 pips above the previous sessions high. Yesterday’s move came off a bounce off the downward sloping trend line as the price action has at the moving averages.

Market open focus
USDCHF has traded this morning within a 16 pip opening range. Today’s opening key price levels are 0.9110 to 0.9085. I am monitoring for breaks above or beneath this level.

The possible projected maximum daily ranges based upon current price action are 0.9038 to 0.9135.

Today’s scenarios
1. USDCHF is trading with a very tight 16 pip opening range. I am monitoring for potential breaks 0.9110 with a target of 0.9135.

2. Alternatively a break beneath 0.9085 could see USDCHF potentially trade down to 0.9038.

Macro trade ideas
1. On a basis swing bases the trend is now positive following the breach of the prior isolated high. However the price action has been struggling to extend a move away from the downside sloping trend line. Notwithstanding this as long USDCHF can trade above 0.8889 being the current isolated low then the potential for a substantial upside breakout is possibility.

2. However the weekly time frame continues to point down. Therefore a sustained breach of the 34 period moving averages puts into play a move to the 0.8889 isolated low areas.

Macro technical levels
The macro technical levels are 0.9020 0.8930, 0.8570 and 0.9200.

1. This morning USDJPY traded within a 31 pip range. I am monitoring the price action for breaches of 103.38 with a target of 103.70.

2. Alternatively a breach of 103.05 could see USDJPY trade down to 102.70.

Yesterday’s trading saw USDJPY close 40 pips lower from its open whilst trading an 80 pip range.

The price action continues to have a positive daily swing bias with the price action hovering above the 8 period moving averages. The 103.70 level is still offering both a target and a strong resistance level to current market activity.

Focus on today

This morning’s USDJPY is trading beneath the previous day’s high and within a 39 pip early morning Tokyo session range. Furthermore currently USDJPY is also trading between the 102.00/102.35 to 103.05/103.40 price congestion areas.

AS USDJPY is trading between the 102.00/102.35 to 103.05/103.40 price congestion areas, I am monitoring the potential for the price action to break up our break down into these areas.

Alternatively there is a possibility that USDJPY trades in between the 102.35 to 103.05 levels for the rest of the day.

Key intraday levels

USDJPY: 102.00, 102.35, 103.05, 103.40.
