Elliott wave analysis of EUR/NZD for March 30 - 2015

Technical summary We are still looking for a close above the resistance line on the 4-hourly chart to confirm that a series of wave three is developing for a rally towards at least 1.4595. In the short term, a break above minor resistance at 1.4397 is going to be the first indication that resistance at 1.4495 is likely to be challenged again and a break above here should bring an acceleration higher than we are looking for. Only an unexpected break below support at 1.4287 will confuse the overall bullish picture.

Trading recommendation: We are long EUR from 1.4335 and will place our stop at 1.4275

Daily analysis of USDX for April 06, 2015

The daily chart continues to show us a corrective phase of the USDX, as the index continues to move in favor of the bearish side but a corrective one as we mentioned above. The next floor or support zone is located at the level of 96.60, where we could expect a rebound to the resistance zone around 98.01. By the way, the bullish outlook is still alive. The USDX started this week with a deep bearish gap, which is now looking for support at the level of 96.54, more than 100 pips of empty zone. Now, the nearest resistance level is located around 97.08, where the USDX could begin to form a bullish pattern in order to reach the 200 SMA on the H1 chart. But the Index is still with the downside risk in the short term.

Dailychart's support levels: 96.60 / 95.19

H1 chart's resistance levels: 97.08 / 97.30

Technical analysis and trading recommendation for Gold for April 10, 2015

The yellow metal has been extending its losses for three consecutive days. The US dollar rebounded from the lower levels, which dampened the momentum of the metal. After the FOMC minutes, the metal broke the 50Dsma and closed below that. At the FOMC meeting, several participants judged that economic data and outlook were likely to warrant normalization. However, others anticipated that the effects of lower energy prices and the depressed dollar would continue to weigh on inflation in the near term, suggesting that conditions are unlikely to be appropriate for rates hike until later in the year. A couple of participants suggested that the economic outlook would not call for any increase until 2016. Eventually, the interest rate hike is imminent, but the matter is when it comes true. The interest rate hike has a negative influence on the metal. Today, the metal successfully held the previous day's low at the Asian session. Prices are consolidating at $1,192.00 for a day. Below this, 20Dsma is likely to appear at $1,187.00. The trend-change decider level is found at $1,178.00. In case of a daily close below $1,178.00, the current upswing will be cancelled. Intraday support is found at $1,192.00. We recommend selling below $1,192.00 with immediate target at $1,188.00, below $1,187.00 we can expect $1,180.00 and $1,178.00. The panic is going to be triggered below $1,178.00. In the H4 chart, the price fell below the ascending trend line and closed below that. In the hourly chart, we can observe lower highs and lower lows formation. Until the price closes below $1,206.00, the near term favors bears. Trade: Selling below $1,192.00 targets $1,188.00, $1,180.00 and $1,179.00

Daily analysis of major pairs for April 13, 2015

EUR/USD: This pair is very weak right now, owing to a deep weakness in EUR and a great strength of USD. In fact, EUR is one of the weakest currencies among the majors and so are most EUR pairs. A rally of 400 pips is significant enough to result in a clean Bearish Confirmation Pattern and further plunge is expected this week.
