Daily Technical Analysis

14th April 2014

AUDUSD

Summary

Thursday AUDUSD continued to trade higher as the price action closed above the 0.9390 resistance level and accelarates towards the 78.6% Fibonacci resistance level.

Market overview

AUDUSD has been trading in a daily uptrend following the breach of the 0.9080 level being the swing high of the 18th February.

However the weekly chart continues to trade in a weekly down trend with the price action now trading into the Fibonacci resistance area.

The target for the large inverse head and shoulders pattern at 0.9535 is now within reach.

Focus on today

This morning AUDUSD has opened quietly as the price action trades within Fridaty’s candle range.

I am this morning monitoring the price action for a potential test of the 0.9535 resistance level.

Alternatively if AUDUSD fails to sustain higher prices there is a possibility that AUDUSD trades back down to the 0.9390 support level.

GOLD

Summary

Friday Gold experience a quiet day as it continued to test the 34 period moving averages.

Market overview

Gold continues to trade in a daily uptrend following the breach of the 1267.99 level being the swing high of the 10th December.

The test of the large downward sloping trend line adds impetus to the current positive swing bias. Furthermore we have witnessed a large multi month

double bottom forming which could indicate a large upside trend reversal is a possibility.

However the weekly time frame continues to point down. That the recent rejection of higher prices has come off a bounce from a downward sloping trend line and

Fibonacci resistance level could indicate that the recent rally in Gold is part of a bigger cycle correction that ultimately sends Gold lower.

More recently Gold has experienced a strong rally that has push the price action back into the daily averages. This area can possibly be viewed as a value area to add shorts.

Notwithstanding as Gold is now approaching the large downward sloping trend line we may see the price action naturally move to this area.

Focus on today

This morning Gold has opened bullishly as the price action trades above the 34 period daily moving averages and last week’s range.

Today I am monitoring the price action for Gold to test the 1335.00 resistance level.

Alternatively a failure to sustain higher prices could see Gold trade down to the 1310.00 support level.

OIL

Summary

Friday Oil continued to trade higher as the price action closed above the 103.00 resistance level.

Market overview

Oil continues to trade in a daily uptrend following the breach of the 100.72 level being the swing high of the 24th December.

The daily and weekly times both have a positive bias. The recent price activity has seen the price action perform a text book move by trading down to

Fibonacci support and from there bouncing higher.

Focus on today

This morning Oil has opened strongly as the price action trades tests Friday’s high candles range.

Today I am monitoring the price action for a test 105.00 support level.

Alternatively a failure to sustain higher prices could see Oil trade down to the 103.00 level.

 

Daily Technical Analysis

EURUSD

Summary

Monday EURUSD traded down from the 1.3900 level and ended the day bouncing moderatley off its averages.

Market overview

EURUSD continues to trade in a daily uptrend following the breach of the 1.3741 level being the 24th January swing high. The daily trend is now in gear with the strong weekly up trend. This price action has put the daily time frame in gear with the positive weekly trend. Furthermore the large head and shoulders pattern would appear to be invalidated by the recent bullish momentum.

Focus on today

This morning EURUSD has opened quietly as the price action trades within a tight range at the bottom of Monday’s candle.

I am this morning monitoring the price actions for a potential downside test of the averages.

Alternatively if EURUSD fails to sustain lower prices there is a possibility we see a test of the 1.3900 level.

GBPUSD

Summary

Monday GBPUSD traded lower as the price action tested the 1.6700 support level and 8 period daily moving averages.

Market overview

GBPUSD has traded above the 1.6668 being the prior isolated pivot high. This price activity has effectively changed the daily trend to up and puts it in line with the bullish weekly outlook. Last week’s price activity has as expected, broken the converging triangle to the upside. However past two day’s price action has seen a move back to the converging triangle and the 1.6700 level and 8 period daily moving averages which should offer a level of support. A failure to maintain upside momentum at these levels will put a significant question on the strength of the daily trend.

Focus on today

This morning GBPUSD has opened quietly as the price action trades within Monday’s candle range.

I am today monitoring the price action for a bounce off the 1.6700 support level.

Alternatively if GBPUSD cannot sustain higher prices could see the price action trade further into the triangle formation.

USDJPY

Summary

Monday USDJPY for the 6th day continued to trade around the 101.70 and ultimatley closed slightly above this level.

Market overview

The breach of the 102.83 level being the swing high of the 21st February has effectively changed the daily trend to up and therefore putting this time frame into gear with the bullish weekly time frame. The recent price action has seen a failure of the head and shoulders pattern which confirms the current upward momentum. However USDJPY is now experiencing a strong corrective pull back. A breach of the 101.19 level being the 14th March low would change the daily trend to down.

Focus on today

This morning USDJPY has opened quietly with the price action trading at the highs of a 5 day candle range.

Today I am monitoring USDJPY for a test of the 101.19 level being the 14th March low.

Alternatively a failure to sustain lower prices could see USDJPY trade back up to the 34 period moving averages.

USDCHF

Summary

Monday USDCHF experienced a corrective up day as the price action close above Friday’s candle range.

Market overview

USDCHF continues to trade in a negative daily and weekly swing bias but the recent price action is beginning to take on a bullish feel to it. That recent 5 day collapse off trend line resistance has invalidated the inverse head and shoulders pattern. I am therefore considering the break down from trend line and Fibonacci resistance as a resumption of the down trend.

Focus on today

This morning USDCHF has opened bullishly as it trades above Monday’s candle range.

Today I am monitoring the price action to see if USDCHF can potentially trade back to its averages.

Alternatively a failure to sustain higher prices could possibly see a move into the direction of the 13th March low.
