Pre US Open, Daily Technical Analysis   Tuesday, February 02, 2016

 




 Please note that due to market volatility, some of the below sight prices may have already been reached and scenarios played out. 
 
 EUR/USD Intraday: limited upside.
 


 
  
 Pivot: 1.0895

Most Likely Scenario: long positions above 1.0895 with targets @ 1.0925 & 1.094 in extension.

Alternative scenario: below 1.0895 look for further downside with 1.0875 & 1.086 as targets.

Comment: the RSI is mixed with a bullish bias. The pair is supported by a rising trend line but is approaching from strong resistances limiting the upside potential.

  
 
 
 GBP/USD Intraday: intraday support around 1.432.
 
 
  
 Pivot: 1.432

Most Likely Scenario: long positions above 1.432 with targets @ 1.444 & 1.4465 in extension.

Alternative scenario: below 1.432 look for further downside with 1.4245 & 1.4185 as targets.

Comment: the RSI is mixed and calls for caution. The bullish channel resistance currently at 1.4465 is limiting the upside potential.

  
 
 
 USD/JPY Intraday: consolidation in place.
 


 
  
 Pivot: 121.15

Most Likely Scenario: short positions below 121.15 with targets @ 120.3 & 119.6 in extension.

Alternative scenario: above 121.15 look for further upside with 121.7 & 122.2 as targets.

Comment: the RSI lacks upward momentum. The pair is shaping a Rounding Top: a bearish reversal pattern.

  
 
 
 AUD/USD Intraday: under pressure.
 


 
  
 Pivot: 0.709

Most Likely Scenario: short positions below 0.709 with targets @ 0.703 & 0.7 in extension.

Alternative scenario: above 0.709 look for further upside with 0.712 & 0.7174 as targets.

Comment: the break below 0.709 is a negative signal that has opened a path to 0.703.

  
 
 
 Gold spot Intraday: the bias remains bullish.
 
 
  
 Pivot: 1118

Most Likely Scenario: long positions above 1118 with targets @ 1133 & 1138.5 in extension.

Alternative scenario: below 1118 look for further downside with 1111 & 1104.5 as targets.

Comment: even though a continuation of the consolidation cannot be ruled out, its extent should be limited.

  
 
 
 Crude Oil (WTI) (H6) Intraday: under pressure.
 
 
  
 Pivot: 32.66

Most Likely Scenario: short positions below 32.66 with targets @ 30.7 & 30.12 in extension.

Alternative scenario: above 32.66 look for further upside with 33.38 & 34.4 as targets.

Comment: as long as the resistance at 32.66 is not surpassed, the risk of the break below 30.7 remains high.
