Brexit Volatility Seen Subsiding in the Prior Week

The June 23 referendum had given markets something to talk about for months leading up to the event. Some bold predictions were made ahead of the event, essentially calling for a collapse of the British Pound in the event the exit materialized.
The weekly open last week, saw a continuation of risk sentiment and volatility, but dissipated quickly. The commodity currencies have already fallen back into normal ranges, The EUR/USD volatility is near pre-Brexit levels, while the GBP/USD remain…

RBA Surprises Markets and Cuts Rates

The RBA today cut rates to 1.75%
The forecast for today was at 2.00%, though some economists did project this could occur at the meeting today.
The concerns of the bank, remain with the current exchange rate. Perhaps realizing the USD is under pressure, taking some preemptive measures to control the exchange rate to prevent it from getting too bullish.
Commodity prices have been rising, which helps Australia, though perhaps a bit too early to tell. The Employment market in the past showed some u…

Trendlines - Two sides of the story

Trader's use all sort of different technical tools in their analysis. One of my favorites is Trendlines.
They can be very useful in determining entry points in a continuation of a trend, and at the same time, a great indicator for breakouts, reversals, and longer term pullbacks. Depending on which TF they are used, often longer term reversals can be spotted early.
However, this tool falls into the category of one that is subjective. A TL can be drawn different ways, and often subconsciously we d…

GBPUSD - Once again

Having posted about twice already in the past few days, this will be my last GBPUSD Blog post (maybe!)
In my previous posts, I was bearish, however, did not take the short position. As the pair traded higher, I adjusted trendlines and fib levels, to make it fit a bearish scenario.
Why exactly? My wave analysis shows the up move is completed. Though it is possible that the pair is setting up for a second leg higher, I don't see it as a likely scenario with 2 months away from the Brexit referendum…

Revisiting the GBPUSD Chart

A few days ago, I posted a bearish perspective on GBPUSD.
Yesterdays price action was quite strong to the upside. The pair easily took out several levels of resistance, and is in break out mode.
Nevertheless, I'm stubbornly unconvinced of a long term bullish trend in the pair.
The primary reason behind my analysis lies behind the elliott wave structure of the move down. Nevertheless, I've redrawn the channel by connecting the bottoms, and once again we are near the top of the channel.
Though, th…

The Kiwi Dollar Break

The NZD has been lagging for the most part in the leg of USD weakness we have seen for over the past month, but perhaps today it has finally made that break that will have the bears on the sidelines.
The above chart is a daily of the NZDUSD, and as can be clearly seen, we've taken out some major resistance levels and broken higher.
What makes todays price action look even more bullish, is that the pair is holding the highs so far.
Earlier this month, the pair did break to these levels, only to f…

GBPUSD Channel Break confirms Bearish turn

The GBPUSD showed good upside in the month of March, however April has once again shown signs of bearishness.
The 4H Chart below provides an outlook
On the chart we see a clear break of the up channel. We are now potentially forming a down channel with two failures at new highs which make for a succession of lower highs.
Support at 1.4050 continues to offer value buying to bulls as the pair is supported on the monthly charts, as well as a monthly bullish engulfing candle in the month of March.

The Quiet before the storm

The markets as of late have had a few breakouts. First we had the USD a few weeks back which was off Janet Yellen's speech that caused many pairs to trade to yearly highs/ lows. Then we had the JPY which showed strength carrying several of the Yen pairs to new lows in a rapid fashion.
Both moves however, started with strong momentum, but seemed to have been short lived.
Perhaps we may be seeing a bit of a pause and consolidation before another move. A common occurrence. But I believe the markets…
