AUD/USD Elliott wave count and Fibonacci levels for April 24, 2012
The AUD/USD pair is developing potential impulse wave C of the medium term downtrend (coral in the chart) from 1.0451. Inside this wave we have three subwaves (royal blue in the chart) and an impulse subwave C developing from 1.0417 that comprises three subwaves (magenta in the chart); an impulse subwave C is developing from 1.0383.
The downside targets are Fibonacci expansions of 1.0856-1.0226-1.0451, 1.0451-1.0304-1.0417, 1.0417-1.0309-1.0383, 1.0383-1.0271-1.0324.
Supports:
- 1.0212-08 = confluence area of objective point (OP) and expanded objective point (XOP)
- 1.0179 = XOP
- 1.0143 = XOP
- 1.0100 = super expanded objective point (SXOP)
If the price reverses to the upside, the immediate resistances will be Fibonacci retracements of the wave down from 1.0383. This wave is not developed yet, so resistances are not available.
Overbought/Oversold
The larger wave is now moving down, so it is preferable to go short when the Detrended Oscillator goes above the zero level (5-10 pips above the current prices) or into the overbought area (20-30 pips above the current prices), consider the possibilities to go short at or near the indicated resistances.

Last week the EUR/JPY pair has finished the development of the 4 wave (coloured green). Yesterday the development of the wave 5 (coloured green) has started. During the Asian session the EUR/JPY pair has started descending movement towards the 107.15 level. Therefore during the New York session we can observe the continuation of the bearish mood and price fall to 106.31.Today in Asian session the EUR/JPY retested yesterday low at 106.31 .We can consider this move as the end of the wave 1 of the bigger wave 5. Presently we can observe the end of the 2 wave. In accordance with our wave rules and taking into account that the wave 5 retraces 100% of the wave 4, we can define the potential targets with Fibonacci retracements (104.61-107-993). Take Profit 1 at 105.34(78.6% of wave 4) and Take Profit 2 at 104.62 (100% of wave 4). As Stop Loss the resistance level at 107.40 can be used.

New Home Sales - Fundamental Analysis for April 24, 2012
On Tuesday the dollar has dropped on all fronts during the European session, while the European exchanges operate with
modest gains, recovering yesterday’s lows of its majors.
Even the Dow Jones index futures regained its in early U.S. session. The situation has proved to be favorable, as after the
opening of the NYSE the index regained more than 100 points lost on Monday.
As for the majors, the pound sterling heads a series of rises in hard currencies after reaching its highest level since
October 31. A number of economic data published in Britain in recent has not only revealed an improvement in the employment
and retail sales but also an increase in inflation, which can force the Bank of England to raise their rates interest. On
Wednesday the preliminary data on UK GDP for the first quarter will be published. This fact can leave behind the recession
of the British economy.
As for the euro, there is no breaking news. On Monday the European currency has decreased modestly after the resignation in
the middle of the Netherlands Government. But it was slowly moving the upward trend on the 4 hours charts waiting for key
data of the American session.
At 10:00 Eastern the data from the Conference Board on new home sales and consumer confidence is expected. These reports
are considered as the most relevant reports of the day.

AUD/USD Bullish Outlook for April 24, 2012 (Daily Strategy)
The Australian dollar was traded at 1.0277 above the 1.0254 second support weekly. This is a strong support level, given
that this is the daily fractal of 1.0246 and W_S2 weekly. Both support levels are held by the Aussie.
Given that the indicators MACD and Momentum are showing bullish signals, recommend Buy-deals with objectives seen at the
recent weekly resistance 1.0542. A closure above 1.0316 will increase the chances for upward growth.

GBP/USD Technical Correction for April 24, 2012 (Daily Strategy)
Data on retail sales released on Friday has influenced positively on the British Pound, as the volume of retail sales in
March increased by 1.8% compared to the growth forecast of 0.4%. Overcoming expectations .
On a technical level we can say that the pound is remaining within its upward trend, although the MACD indicators shows the
overbought. The levels 1.6180 and 1.6236 are the next resistances.
Given that the pair should give a correction technique, we recommend selling on the resistance levels of 1.6180 with
targets up to the 32.8% Fibonacci retracement.

USD/JPY Wave Analysis for April 24, 2012
Wave marking analysis:
On Friday the USD/JPY pair has begun its descent that yesterday acquired additional dynamics. As a result, the price has
reached levels near figure 81. In case this descending movement develops according to the corrective scenario, then the
yesterdays low can be considered as the end of the wave A in 2 (or B). If that proves to be so, then, when the formation of
the wave B has been completed, the pair will continue the movement towards the point 80.80 or even 80.55. At the same time
the MACD divergence looks controversial, as its elaboration can lead to the fall of quotes below the minimum of April 16
(80.30).
Targets for the option with the wave 2 or B:
80.83 – 23.6% according to Fibonacci
80.55 – 11.4% according to Fibonacci
Targets for the option with the wave 3 or C:
82.02 – 76.4% according to Fibonacci
82.30 – 88.6% according to Fibonacci
General conclusions and trading recommendations:
Presently we can see that despite the formation of the ascending part of the trend, we cannot define properly, which part
of the trend has begun: whether this is a correction against the pair’s decline that took place in recent weeks or whether
this is the resumption of the global ascending trend. The inner wave marking of the current ascent of quotes point at 3-
wave structure. It is possible that the wave B (corrective) will be formed followed by the formation of the wave C
(impulse). Also the whole ascending structure is likely to be transformed into 5-wave one. That is why the pair is expected
to continue its downward movement towards 80.55 (wave 2 or B) and followed by the reversal towards the 82.30 level (wave 3
or C).

GBP/USD Technical Analysis and Trading Recommendations for April 24, 2012
General situation:
On April 24 the GBP/USD pair rate continued the ascending movement enabling the continuation of the upward movement of the
trend towards the first resistance level 1.6239. The correction has not begun yet. The current signal for Buy-deals is
confirmed and strong as the Chinkou Span is fixed above the price chart and the price has overcome the Ichimoku Cloud. At
the moment the target for ascending movement is seen at the first resistance level 1.6239. If the upward movement
continues, the point 1.6356 will be considered as the next target. The uprising movement remains the same as long as the
price is located above the Kijun-Sen line (1.6020). It is recommended to place the Stop Loss below this line while bullish
trade. In case the rate goes lower than this line, this will probably indicate that the elaboration of the signal for Buy-
deals. Chinkou Span is located above the price chart confirming the current signal for Buy-deals and indicating the bearish
mood on the GBP/USD market. Billinger Bands points at the ascending movement, lines are expanding and directed upwards,
that is the reason why it is recommended to consider long positions. MACD is directed downwards indicating the current
corrective movement though yesterday the rate did not significantly decline, so the indicator’s descent (the indicator’s
reversal to downwards) is irrelevant. The Stochastic can be used instead.
Trading recommendations:
At the moment on the GBP/USD market it is recommended to consider long positions with target seen at the 1.6239 level. In
case the first target has been overcome, the new target for bullish trade – the level 1.6356 will be available. Stop Loss
is to be placed below 1.6020 and as this line goes higher, the level for Stop Loss can be replaced. When the Stochastic
leaves the overbuy zone, it is better to reduce manually the positions. With 50-60 pips of profit for long positions, Stop
Loss is to be placed to the non-loss area. Take Profits should be placed a bit lower than the target levels, i.e. at 1.6230
and 1.6345 levels.
Apart from the technical picture it is necessary to consider the fundamental data and the time of its release.
Explanations to the picture:
Ichimoku Indicator:
Tenkan-Sen – red line
Kijun-Sen – blue line
Senkou Span A – light brown dotted line
Senkou Span B – light blue dotted line
Chinkou Span – green line
Senkou Span B – violet dotted line
Bollinger Bands:
3 yellow lines
MACD Indicator:
