USDJPY Building up Stop Losses below 118.85

The USDJPY appears to be trading sideways for most of the year. The daily chart below, shows that 118.85 has become significant support as price has bounced from that level several times
Often in a range type environment, we can measure an equal distance from the high of the range to the low, to determine a possible target. The above chart has done exactly that to determine an approxiamete target in the case of a bearish break to be at 116.16.
The chart also shows a downward trendline in play as…

GBPCAD Forming a Daily Doji against it's 50 Back

The British Pound has rallied quite strong over the last few weeks. The major catalyst was the elections last week, we saw some follow through with decent data coming from Great Britain this week.
The rally has caused the GBPCAD to come back and test the 50%Fib of the last leg down. We are starting to see the strong momentum die down a bit, which can be seen as Daily Doji in the making.
Other Pound pairs have made some significant breaks during this same time period. The GBPNZD for example has b…

EURUSD Weekly Outlook

The EURUSD is approaching some interesting Fib levels as of late. On the daily chart it can be see that the pair has received a bit of selling pressure at the 76.4 fib.
However, there are some other factors that give a different picture. The level at 1.1112, which marks both the 61.8 Fib as well as Daily Resistance, was recently breached. In fact the Daily chart does not show any selling activity in that area at all. Aside from significant resistance being broken, the Weekly chart also suggests …

Eurnzd posted it's second weekly gain after being in a downtrend since Feb. The larger trend in the pair (Weekly/Monthly/Yearly) are all in a downtrend as well.
Although the momentum in the pair is strong, as indicated by the weekly candlesticks, the pair looks to be approaching some resistance.

NZDCAD Daily Reversal Candlestick at Bottom of Channel

The NZD has been bearish this week after the RBNZ in a statement following the cash rate commented on intentions of cutting rates if inflation and related data does not improve. This coming after just a few months ago, it was largely expected by the markets that the RBNZ would continue their rate hike cycle.
The NZDCAD has sold off to the bottom of it's daily channel. Although there should be selling pressure after this recent news event, the pair has been on a monthly uptrend since the start of…

USDCAD Struggles at Major Monthly Resistance

Overview
USDCAD Has been struggling to take out Major Monthly Resistance since it first approached the area at the beginning of the year.

The month of April however, has shown an engulfing Monthly Candle which supports the idea of a larger pullback taking place.

The fib levels from (x) to (a) has a confluence at the 23.6% fib which comes in at 1.2007.  That area is a technical level which has been marked above and is also the target for this analysis.  That will be the first area to watch for to the upside for a rejection and continuation of downtrend.

The retracement has continued today.  The important level 1.2007 also the 23.6% retracement was taken out in early trading.  Upside Fib targets are now the 50% fib at 1.2050, but it is more likely that we see the 61.8 Fib level at 1.2080 before the selling resumes to complete the final leg.

The retracement has continued higher with fairly strong momentum as well.  Today the pair is capped by it's 88.8% retracement.  This level is the last level to hold, if it does not, the existing count would be invalidated and a revised count would need to be looked at.

The 88.8 fib comes in at 1.2242

Jignesh 22 May

USDCAD has been holding at the 88.8 Fib.  Today has several fundamental risk events that can add some volatility, and will be looking for a move down here to confirm that this area is in fact holding and we now continue the downtrend, and mark this wave as (b).

The pair faced a rejection of the 61.8% retracement of the last leg down just prior to the FOMC minutes today.  It may be too early to tell, but so far the weekly candle stick pattern is shaping up to be in favour of a bigger leg to the downside

Jignesh 13 Oct.

First level of resistance comes at 1.6192 which marks last week's open.  With the second level of resistance coming in at 1.6226 (weekly fib level).  A spike high this week is a certain possibility but the focus is on a lower weekly close, preferable taking out support at last week's low at 1.6030

Jignesh avatar
Jignesh 24 Oct.

While moving the targets, the pair made a rapid reversal on a slew of data both negative for the NZD and positive for the EUR.  1.6200 is upside resistance,  A close below 1.6140 (weekly trendline)  will be required to maintain downside pressure.

Jignesh 27 Oct.

The reversal correction is starting to show that it has completed and the downtrend may have resumed.  The biggest risk event for the pair this week will be the RBNZ statement.  It is well known that the central bank wants to see the kiwi lower and will most likely attempt to jawbone the currency at the event on Wednesday. 

Jignesh avatar
Jignesh 31 Oct.

The FOMC and RBNZ on Wednesday played Havoc on the pair, but not only has it managed to retrace the gains within a short period of time, it has not broken to new lows taking out support at 1.6015. 
With the ATR of this pair, it has good potential to reach targets.  Event risk for the EUR coming shortly with CPI estimates expected to have high impact.

The week closed off to draw a doji on the weekly chart, and the new week has the pair testing last week's low ahead of the London Open.  A daily close below this level (1.4340) will confirm a reversal is most likely on it's way.

Jignesh 9 Oct.

EURAUD is struggling to break through it's weekly range.  There has been a spike down which saw buyer's stepping in.  Once again, the pair is approaching that key 1.4340 opening range level.  A break below is required to build momentum to the downside.

Jignesh avatar
Jignesh 13 Oct.

The pair has traded through the previous high to make a new high.  The 200 Daily MA comes in focus at 1.4626 to put pressure to the downside with a fib level slightly above at 1.4661 to contain any spikes.  This will be the last line in the sand for the pair for any downside pressure to remain.

Jignesh avatar
Jignesh 24 Oct.

The 200 Daily SMA has held, and the downside looks promising.  The targets in this prediction still remain valid, however the completion time may take longer as the pair has spent quite a bit of time consolidating.
