Play Oil Game: Infuriating News (based on the article)

Brent Crude oil is on intra-day bearish breakdown by crossing 100 SMA/200 SMA levels to below for the reversal of the price movement to the primary bearish market condition.

  • "Oil markets are still anemic after more than two years of over supply and repressed prices. From $114 per barrel in the summer of 2014, prices are now hovering in the mid $40s range, and have been unable to find a floor, market equilibrium, then trend upward and find a “new normal.” However, in more dour news for oil producers, on Thursday oil prices fell again, to three week lows, the largest drop since January. U.S. benchmark West Texas Intermediate (WTI) prices dropped to $43.16, as oil markets likely negated the possibility of an OPEC cut in production from an Algiers meeting later this month and focused on growing U.S. oil inventories."
  • The price was decreased by 7.50% for one week with 45.30 support level to be testing for the intra-day bearish trend to be continuing.


If H4 price breaks 45.30 support level to below so the bearish breakdown will be continuing.
If H4 price breaks 48.01 resistance level to above on close bar so the bullish trend will be resumed.
If not so the price will be on ranging within the level.

 

GBP/USD Technical Analysis: post-Brexit forecasts (adapted from the article)

The daily price is located below Ichimoku cloud in the primary ebarish area of the chart. The price is testing 1.3317 resistance level to above with the bear market rally for the ranging rally to be started within the primary bearish market condition. Alternative, if the price breaks 1.3058 support level to below so the primary bearish trend will be resumed.

  • "The gap to open trading post-Brexit is thus far of the breakaway variety. The current level (slope line near 1.2800) and/or 1.2500 could inspire a ‘squeeze’ as part of consolidation before another leg lower. 1.2500 relates the 2009-2014 range (127.2% of that range from the 2014 high) and decline from 2007 (decline from 2014 = .618% of 2007-2008 decline)."
  • "1.2800 is still the low and the outside week (last week) suggests that Cable is building a base to work higher from."


The price is unlikely to be dropped to be below 1.2795 in the real post-Brexit situation so the most likely scenario is the following: the price will be on bearish ranging within the levels.

 

Trading News Events: U.S. Non-Farm Payrolls (adapted from dailyfx)

  • "A 180K expansion in U.S. Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) accompanied by a downtick in the jobless rate may trigger a near-term decline in EUR/USD as the ongoing improvement in the labor market puts increased pressure on the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) to raise the benchmark interest rate sooner rather than later."
  • "The next interest-rate decision on September 21 may reveal a growing dissent within the FOMC as Chair Janet Yellen argues ‘the case for an increase in the federal funds rate has strengthened in recent months,’ but a marked slowdown in Average Hourly Earnings may drag on interest-rate expectations as the committee persistently warns ‘most survey-based measures of longer-run inflation expectations were little changed, on balance, while market-based measures of inflation compensation remained low.’"


Bullish USD Trade: NFP Expands 180K or Greater

  • "Need red, five-minute candle following the print to consider a short EUR/USD position."
  • "If market reaction favors a bullish dollar trade, sell EUR/USD with two separate position."
  • "Set stop at the near-by swing high/reasonable distance from entry; look for at least 1:1 risk-to-reward."
  • "Move stop to entry on remaining position once initial target is hit; set reasonable limit."
Bearish USD Trade: U.S. Job/Wage growth Disappoints
  • "Need green, five-minute candle to favor a long EUR/USD trade."
  • "Implement same setup as the bullish dollar trade, just in the opposite direction."


Daily price is located between 100 SMA and 200 SMA for the ranging market condition waiting for the direction for the bullish trend to be resumed or to the bearish reversal to be started within the following key reversal support/resistance levels:

  • 50.0% Fibo resistance level at 1.1244 located above 200 SMA and near-above 100 SMA on the beginning of the bullish trend to be resumed, and
  • 1.1122 support level located near 200 SMA in the beginning of the bearish trend to be started on the chart.

RSI indicator is estimating the ranging bullish market condition.

  • If the price will break 1.1244 resistance level on close daily bar so the primary bullish trend will be resumed.
  • If price will break 1.1122 support on close daily bar so the reversal of the price movement from the ranging bullish to the primary bearish trend will be started.
  • If not so the price will be ranging within the levels.
