EUR/USD Wave Analysis for March 6, 2012

Wave marking analysis:

Having completed during the yesterday’s operations the corrective level 61.8% and reached the lower limit of the uprising channel, the EUR/USD pair rebounded from the reached low (1.3160). Thus, the price has managed to complete the formation of the full wave structure of the supposed downside correction within A, B and C waves. If that proves to be so, then the ascending movement is likely to be continued, corresponding to the quotation growth in the area of the figure 35. At the same time, the price is still able to resume the descending movement and the wave 3 (or wave C) will acquire the more complicated and continuous structure.

Targets for the descending movement within the wave C:

1.3149 – 100.0% according to Fibonacci

1.3098 – 127.2% according to Fibonacci

Targets for the corrective waves against the current downside part of the trend:

1.3340 – the supposed top of the wave 2 (or wave B)

General conclusions and trading recommendations:

At the moment the ascending part of the trend completed its formation; the new downward part of the trend began its development, though it is quite complicated to define which wave is presently developing. Thus, it is necessary to wait and consider the situation. The points 1.3149 and 1.3098 are considered as downside targets for the current descending movement, corresponding to 127.2% of Fibonacci. The corrective wave group (A-B-C waves) is likely to be completed in the nearest future followed by a new upward impulse.

AUD/USD Bearish Outlook for March 6, 2012 (Daily Strategy)

AUD/USD

The AUD/USD pair, was devalued in this hour because the Reserve Bank of Australia could cut the exchange rate at its next meeting.

This movement of the Aussie was at least expected, with the price of gold ounce at the minimum of several days. We had already mentioned in previous analysis that there has to be a correction. http://instaforex/forex_analysis/52238/

At this point, given that the indicator and MCD is showing bearish exhaustion rate, we expect to stop at W_S2 and there will be a rebound to the weekly pivot line 1.07

Therefore I recommend you to sell the pair at the level of resistance targeted towards 1.0430, we can add that the last movement caused the pair to form a reversal pattern targeted to 1.0400

The range indicator is showing a deeper falling.

USD/CHF Technical Analysis and Trading Recommendations for March 6, 2012

General picture:

On March 6 the USD/CHF pair followed the tendency of euro and has also passed though the Ichimoku cloud confirming the current signal for Sell-deals and the relevance of the long positions. The current signal is considered as strong and confirmed, as Chinkou Span is located above the price chart and the price is higher than the Ichimoku Cloud. Therefore, the target for the ascending movement is seen at the first resistance level 0.9214. In case this level is passed through, the new target for the uprising movement – the second resistance level 0.9289 – will be available. The upward movement remains the same as long as the price is higher than the Kijun-Sen (0.9050). When bullish trading below this line it is recommended to set Stop Loss. The same is for the case, when the price goes lower than this line, as the signal for BUY-deals will weaken and the further development of the ascending movement will be questioned. Chinkou Span is located above the price chart confirming the current signal for BUY-deals and indicating the bullish mood of the USD/CHF pair. Bollinger Bands indicates the continuation of the upward movement; the lines are expanded and directed upwards. Thus, it is recommended to consider the long positions. MACD is directed downwards indicating the corrective movements showing the current corrective mood. Therefore it is better to refrain from opening the long positions. In case the indicator reverses to upwards, this can be considered a sign for opening the long positions.

Trading recommendations:

As to the USD/CHF market, it is recommended to open the long positions with target seen at the 0.9214 level. When this level is passed through, the target level for BUY-deals will be located in the point 0.9289. Stop Loss is to be placed lower than 0.9050. In case this line increases, the Stop Loss is to be placed after it. It is recommended to open the orders in case the MACD direction reverses to upwards. With 50-60 pips profitability it is possible to place Stop Loss in the zero area. Take Profit orders can be set a bit lower than the target levels.

Apart from the technical picture it is necessary to consider the fundamental data and the time of its release.

Fundamental Analysis for March 8, 2012

For two days we expected the publication of the most important news of the week, and perhaps of the month, with respect to currency.

Within minutes the Bank of England will announce its monetary policy for the current month, with no substantial changes are expected. Interest rates remain at record low 0.5%, although Governor Mervyn King emphasizes their importance. The data concerning the causes of this decision and the procedure of voting will be released within two weeks.

In the meanwhile, at 7:45 Eastern, the European Central Bank will also announce its benchmark interest rate, which will remain unchanged at 1%. At 8:30 the subsequent press conference was held by Chairman Draghi in order to clarify the steps aimed at stimulating the economy of the countries in trouble.

This news was released amid the quarrels in Greece, where 60.6% of the creditors agreed to start the proposed debt-restructuring until the Thursday afternoon. If the proposal is accepted by desired 70%, then, according to the Greek legislation that regulate the debt swap, the other 30% are obliged to accept the agreement as well.

Thursday’s news from Greece changed the general picture of the European session. The bags are growing in good shape, and the coins are moving within an upward trend against the dollar.

This fact explains the movement of the euro, which again exceeded 1.32; the pound sterling failed to break the 1.58 level; and currencies linked to commodities, the Australian dollar and Canadian dollar, have partially reversed its losses for the last two days.

On the other hand, at 8:30 the weekly unemployment requests are expected to be released. This indicator has been showing declining figures, outstanding asset in economy that, in turn, creates each month more jobs than last month.

Indeed, in February the ADP survey showed the creation of 216 jobs in private sector. This figure could match or approach the official data published by the Labor Department on Friday morning.

Another crucial point is the announcement concerning the monetary policy by the Bank of Canada. While the Canadian dollar has not weakened against the dollar, it is not likely to remain at current positions for a long time. The loonie is expected to decline to the area of 1.03 / 4 in the few weeks. Nevertheless, its decline depends on the behavior of the oil.

EUR/USD Wave Analysis for March 8, 2012

Wave marking analysis:

Yesterday’s trading operations did not affect much the formed wave picture of the EUR/USD pair. The price changes took place within the range 1.3100-1.3160. Therefore, we can assume that the pair began the formation of the wave B within the scenario of the further development of the downside correction. If that proves to be so, then in the course of development of the wave B the price is likely to return to the limits of the ascending channel. This will enable the continuation of the descending movement to the level of the figure 30. At the same time, according to the several indicators, the euro is still able to resume the growth to the February’s highs.

Targets for the descending movement within the wave A (If not completed):

1.3098 – 76.4% according to Fibonacci

1.3035 – 88.6% according to Fibonacci

Targets for the variant with the wave B:

1.3173 – 61.8% according to Fibonacci

1.3233 – 50.0% according to Fibonacci

General conclusions and trading recommendations:

At the moment the new descending part of the trend is developing though it is quite complicated to define exactly, which wave has been forming. Perhaps, this is the wave A of the prospect continuous downside correction. The current descending movement has downside targets 1.3098 and 1.3035 corresponding to 76.4% and 88.6% of Fibonacci. The wave A is likely to complete its formation (or has already completed) beginning a new ascending movement within the wave B with targets 1.3173 and 1.3233 which is equal to 61.8% and 50.0% of Fibonacci.

EUR/USD Buy Above 1.3095 for March 8, 2012

The EUR/USD pair

The EUR / USD pair has rebounced from the last month's low, finding a support in the W_S1, having rebounded to the level 1.3236. Considering that this position is crucial for the future movement of the euro, we believe that if the level of 1.3100 remains unbroken, the euro will reach the 1.3394 level, i.e. the area of the first weekly resistance and the fractal formed in 1.3403

Therefore, we recommend Buy-positions in the correction of this upward sequence at 1.3144 (fractal) with a target at 1.3390 level. The Stop Loss is recommended below 1.3095 weekly support.

MCD and Range Indicator show a positive divergence and a stronger bullish movement.

USD/JPY Technical Analysis and Trading Recommendations for Mach 8, 2012

General situation:

Analyzing the USD/JPY pair exchange rate for March 8 we can define exactly the reasons that forced the Ichimoku to provide the signal for Buy-deals. This signal is considered as weak and confirmed as Chinkou Span is located below the price chart and the price remains higher than the Ichimoku Cloud. Thus, the downside targets are seen at the second support level 79.37, though it is recommended to begin trading when the price will be fixed below the Ichimoku Cloud. In case this resistance level is passed though, the next target will be seen at the third resistance level 78.73. The ascending movement remains the same, as long as the price is located higher than the Kijun-Sen (81.20). In case the price is located higher than this point, the further elaboration of the signal for Sell-deals will be questioned resulting in possible reversal of price to upwards. Chinkou Span is located lower than the price chart confirming the current signal for Sell-deals and indicating the bearish mood at the USD/JPY market. Bollinger Bands indicates the descending movement, lines are expanded and directed downwards, that is why Sell-orders are considered relevant. MACD is directed downwards indicating the current upward movement. That is the reason why the indicator prevents from entering the market with short positions. Therefore, it is necessary to wait when the price is fixed below the Ichimoku Cloud.

Trading recommendations:

As to USD/JPY pair market, it is recommended to consider the Sell-positions with target seen at the level 79.37. In case this level is passed through, the next target will be seen at the level 78.73. Stop Loss is to be placed above the point 81.20. When opening the short positions, MACD is expected to indicate the downside movement. When the price passes 30-40 pips to the required side, the Stop Loss can be placed to a non-loss area. Take profits can be placed at levels 79.45 and 78.80.

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
