AUD/USD Elliott wave count and Fibonacci levels for December 27, 2011

AUD/USD is developing potential impulse wave C of medium term downtrend (colored light green in the chart) from 1.0379. Within this wave there are three subwaves (colored magenta in the chart) with potential impulse subwave С developing from 1.0218. The latter also has its subwaves - A, B, and C (colored red in the chart). The targets below the current price are Fibonacci retracements of 0.9883-1.0218, and expansions off 1.0218-1.0051-1.0180, 1.0180-1.0130-1.0172.

Supports:

- 1.0122 = objective point (OP)

- 1.0091 = expanded objective point (XOP)

- 1.0077 = contracted objective point (COP)

- 1.0051-41 = confluence area of .50 retracement and super expanded objective point (SXOP)

- 1.0013-11 = confluence area of OP and .618 ret

If the price keeps advancing the immediate resistances will be Fibonacci retracements of 1.0379-0.9861, and expansions off 0.9861-1.0218-1.0051, 1.0051-1.0180-1.0130.

Resistances:

- 1.0210 = COP

- 1.0259 = OP

- 1.0268-72 = confluence area of .786 ret and COP

- 1.0339 = XOP

Overbought/Oversold

Assuming that the larger wave is now moving down it's preferable to try short positions when the Detrended Oscillator goes above the zero level (5-10 pips above the current prices) or gets into the overbought area (35-50 pips above the current prices), watch for entries short at the specified resistances.

GBP/USD Intraday Technical Analysis & Trade Recommendation December 28, 2011

Lately the GBP/USD formed a Head & Shoulders reversal pattern after hiting the resistance level at 1.5770.

Since then the pair has been moving sideways inside the marked channels on the chart.

The Yellow channel is slightly bearish while the violet & blue ones are bullish.

Today at earlier time the pair broke the violet channel to the downside indicating bearish domination.

Now the pair is testing the backside of the broken channel & the upper limit of the yellow bearish channel indicating a bearish opportunity at 1.5690.

SL should be placed above 1.5720 & TP at 1.5645, 1.5600 then 1.5560.

Fundamental Analysis, December, 28 / 2011

The currency market movements remains largely in these hours, a stillness that has held since last Friday, on the eve of the feast of Christmas.

The major pairs have no definite trends in the short term, allowing a glimpse of intraday positions, and paradoxically, only the yen, which is the currency has moved less this year, which is providing some small rally, if bullish.

European stock markets operate with a 1% gain on average, just over the south, while Dow Jones futures are slightly bullish before the opening of the NYSE.

This pause that has taken the currency market is not free: usually, after them, are generated very strong movements that define medium-term trends. In principle, the dollar could benefit from the coming currency movements, given that the European currencies, particularly the euro and Swiss franc, still pointing downwards in the long term.

The two most important are related currencies, gold and oil, this time presented in an uneven performance. While the falls from $ 1600 an ounce and traded at $ 1585 at the time, tending slightly bearish in the short term, the WTI barrel exceeds $ 100, without much force pushing the Canadian dollar, but with little effect on other currencies bound by it, the Mexican peso, which has not been away from the 14 per dollar.

No economic data for the next hours, the expectation goes through the U.S. session opening, which can bring some movement to foreign exchange.

GBP/USD Intraday Technical Analysis & Trade Recommendation December 29, 2011

Yesterday we suggested selling GBP/USD currency pair at 1.5690 which hit all TP levels very quickly.

Now retracement is expected after visiting the lower limit of the marked bearish channels at 1.5435 which was slightly breached shortly before the pair came back above.

Now the pair is testing the upper limit of the violet channel at 1.5485 which if broken will open the way for a retracement movement targetting 1.5555.

Based on the previous analysis, the marked indicates a bullish opportunity on the break of 1.5485 with TP at 1.5510, 1.5540, 1.5566 then 1.5595.

SL should be 1H closure below 1.5440.

USD/CHF: Technical Analysis for December 29 -- 30, 2011

Overview:

USD/CHF:

It should be noted that the price has still been trapped between 0.955 -- 0.917 and the price has been set above strong support at the levels of 0.9227 / 0.9173 (0.9173: 61.8% of Fibonacci retracement levels on H4chart). Aswell it is noting that these levels are coinciding between 61.8% and 100% of Fibonacci retracement levels on H4 chart and the pair has already formed a strong resistance at this level of 0.955 and it is now approaching from it in order to test it. Therefore the Swissy will be a downside momentum is rather convincing and the structure of the fall looks is not corrective, in order to indicate a bearish opportunity below 0.955 for that it will a good sign to sell below 0.955 with a first target of 0.943 and it will call for downtrend in order to continue bearish towards 0.9331. Furthermore, it also have to note that the price at 0.9227 will be possible formed a strong support (0.9173: 61.8% of Fibonacci retracement levels on H4 chart). So it will be saturation around 1.918 to rebound the pair, aswell it will probably that the market is going to start showing the signs of bullish market. In other words, it will be a good sign to buy above 0.918 with a first target of 0.93 and continue towards 0.943.

Fundamental Analysis, December, 29 / 2011

We said in previous reports that, unless something important happened, the forex market was not going to

provide appropriate movements this week.

That "something" happened, and was the European Central Bank in charge of generating a stampede against

its currency, the euro.

The nearly 3 billion euros in the state remain deposited by the banks were sufficient to bring the market

lethargy, and make the single currency reaches its annual minimum just a day before the end of the

period.

Technically alarming measured in terms of monthly charts for those who bet on a rising euro. It is known

that a maximum or minimum closure at any timing, indicating a high probability of trend continuation.

Imagine this in monthly charts what it means. And we still have two days of activity.

It is a reflection on the matter. Such a mass of liquidity has not served even in part to relieve the

distressing situation in Europe. And all that was achieved was that the dollar, until recently beaten,

take force on all fronts.

So now the euro is seen as the minimum annual bankruptcy, the British pound for the minimum of 3 months,

and coins "commodities" are weakened, alongside oil and gold, especially the latter.

Nevertheless, European exchanges have no losses, while averaging the session, and in some cases earn

modest profits.

The slight optimism that had been generated in the market for the placement of debt by the Italian

Treasury on Wednesday at usual rates for an economy on the strength of Italy, was diluted a few hours:

the placing of today, Thursday, returned to have a rate close to 7%.

As significant data for the U.S. session, expected weekly unemployment requests at 8:30 Eastern, the

Chicago PMI at 9:45 and pending home sales at 10:00.

The unified currency, this day reached its annual minimum. Because the European Central Bank in charge of

generating a stampede contrary to its currency.

We had mentioned in a previous analysis that if the euro broke its uptrend that guided him, would have a

fall to the second support weekly. can review the full report:

However, in the monthly chart shown above, we note that the Euro-Dollar pair is just above its monthly

support at 1.2849, if we notice a trend line that started in July 2001 maintained the upward trend in the

long time. Since the fall of the euro to 1.4933 leads to the minimum today(1.2860), has not been a

significant correction, therefore, our outlook is bullish. only if the pair closes the month of December

and the year 2011 over m_2 (1.2849) Our stop loss is adjusted to 1.2790. Our long term we will place in

the resistance around 1.4170 monthly. dollars per euro.
