AUDUSD Technical Analysis 12.01 - 19.01: Possible Rally

 

It was flat for the several days on D1 timeframe but Chinkou Span line came to be very close to historical price to be ready for breakout for the next few days. if this thing is happened so we will see marlet rally within primary bearish market condition. We may see exact same situation with W1 timeframe - Chinkou Span line is located near the price ready to break it for good local uptrend within primary bearish.

We had good breakout on H4 timeframe realted to NFP news event, and the price is fully reversed from primary bearish to primary bullish located above Ichimoku cloud/kumo for now trying to break 0.8998 resistance level.

If the price will break 0.9004 on D1 close bar from below to above - we may see good rally withing primary bearish (good to open buy trade).

If the price will break 0.8842 so we may see the bearish market continuing (good to open sell trade).

  • Recommendation for long: watch the price for breaking 0.8842 for possible short order
  • Recommendation to go short: watch the price for breaking 0.9004 for possible short order
  • Trading Summary: bearish

AUDUSD Technical Analysis (adapted from this article).

  • Last week’s (week that ended 1/3) outside reversal broke a string of 10 consecutive down weeks, something that had not happened since 1982.
  • The bounce from the 12/18 low is shallow and corrective. Still, the specter of 5 waves down from the Oct high at least warns of a stronger rally attempt. .9167 (former 4th wave price extreme) to .9267 (former range low) is likely resistance.

Trading Strategy: Flat (trading long intraday) but looking higher towards .9167-.9267 for the next top.

Australian Dollar to Rise Further as Markets Ponder Fed Outlook (adapted from this article)



Fundamental Forecast for Australian Dollar: Bullish

  • December’s Australian Jobs Report Unlikely to Derail Stable RBA Outlook
  • Aussie Bounce to Continue as Markets Ponder Fed Policy After Dismal NFP

We’ve argued that the Australian Dollar has room to correct higher in early 2014 as the fundamental argument for Aussie weakness becomes increasingly flimsy while speculative traders remain heavily net-short (per futures market positioning data from the CFTC). Absent new evidence to advance the case against the currency, we said a period of profit-taking that drives the Australian unit higher is probably ahead.

AUD/USD: 2nd breakout attempt successful (based on investing.com article)

The AUD/USD pair has recovered after its first failed breakout attempt and has moved higher again, succeeding instead on its second attempt to break above the major trend-line and out of the sideways consolidation range at the lows. This move now means that the evidence is strong for a short-term change from bear to bull trend, given the break above the trend-line and out of the reversal pattern, as well as two higher highs and lows on the 4hr chart. There is a chance of a pull-back before more upside, down to perhaps 0.9000, but then it will probably continue higher, with the next target sitting at 0.9120 where the R1 monthly pivot and the 50-day MA are situated together combining the already considerable resistance provided by each individually.

China December New Yuan Loans Miss Expectations

Chinese banks extended CNY 482.5 billion in new yuan loans in December, less than CNY 570 billion forecast by economists, data released by the People's Bank of China showed Wednesday.

In November, banks extended a total of CNY 624.6 billion in local currency loans.

The broad money aggregate, M2 money supply, increased 13.6 percent year-on-year in December, compared with expectations for a 13.9 percent rise. This was also slower than 14.2 percent growth in November.

China's aggregate social financing came in at CNY 1.23 trillion in December, unchanged from November, but higher than the expected CNY 1.14 trillion.

Philly Fed Index Rises In January But Details Are Mixed

Manufacturing growth in the Philadelphia-area continued in January, according to a report released by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia on Thursday, with the index of regional manufacturing activity rising by more than expected.

The Philly Fed said its diffusion index of current activity rose to 9.4 in January from a revised 6.4 in December, with a positive reading indicating an increase in regional manufacturing activity. Economists had expected the index to climb to 8.7.

While the index rose more than expected, Amna Asaf, an economist at Capital Economics, said the details of the survey suggest that manufacturing activity is a little bit softer than indicated by the headline index.
