Technical Targets for USD/JPY by United Overseas Bank (based on the article)

USD/JPY: back to 110.66

Daily price is located below 100 period SMA and 200 period SMA for the primary bearish market condition with the secondary ranging within 110.66 support level and 113.81 resistance level.

  • "The rebound from the low of 110.65 has been more resilient than expected but as long as 113.00 is intact, another leg lower to 110.00 is still a possibility but we must admit that the odds have diminished and will continue to diminish if the current short-term consolidation were to persist."

RSI indicator is estimating the secondary ranging to be continuing.  

  • If the price will break 113.81 resistance level on close bar so the local uptrend as the bear market rally will be started.
  • If price will break 110.66 support on close bar so the bearish trend will be continuing.
  • If not so the price will be ranging within the levels.
Resistance
Support
113.81110.97
114.86110.66


  • Recommendation to go short: watch the price to break 110.66 support level for possible sell trade
  • Recommendation to go long: watch the price to break 113.81 resistance level for possible buy trade
  • Trading Summary: ranging bearish

Trading the News: U.K. Retail Sales (based on the article)

The U.K. Retail Sales report may produce headwinds for the British Pound and drag on GBP/USD as signs of a slowing recovery provides the Bank of England (BoE) with greater scope to further delay its normalization cycle.

What’s Expected:


Why Is This Event Important:

Even though BoE argues that the next policy move will be to lift the benchmark interest rate off of the record-low, the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) may preserve its current policy throughout 2016 in an effort to mitigate the downside risks surrounding the real economy.

Nevertheless, the expansion in private-sector lending paired with the ongoing improvement in labor-market dynamics may boost household spending, and a positive development may generate a near-term rebound in GBP/USD as it puts pressure on Governor Mark Carney and Co. to normalize monetary policy sooner rather than later.

How To Trade This Event Risk

Bearish GBP Trade: Retail Sales Slips 1.0% or Greater
  • Need red, five-minute candle following the GDP report to consider a short British Pound trade.
  • If market reaction favors bearish sterling trade, short GBP/USD with two separate position.
  • Set stop at the near-by swing high/reasonable distance from entry; look for at least 1:1 risk-to-reward.
  • Move stop to entry on remaining position once initial target is hit, set reasonable limit.
Bullish GBP Trade: U.K. Consumption Beats Market Expectations
  • Need green, five-minute candle to favor a long GBP/USD trade.
  • Implement same setup as the bearish British Pound trade, just in reverse.
Potential Price Targets For The Release

GBPUSD Daily


  • Longer-term outlook for GBP/USD remains tilted to the downside as the BoE continues to endorse a wait-and-see approach in 2016, and the pair may continue to carve a series of lower highs & lows over the near to medium-term should the Relative Strength Index (RSI) fail to retain the bullish formation carried over from earlier this year.
  • Interim Resistance: 1.4910 (61.8% retracement) to 1.4930 (38.2% expansion)
  • Interim Support: 1.3870 (78.6% expansion) and 1.4000 pivot

Trading the News: U.S. Durable Goods Orders (based on the article)

A 3.0% contraction in orders for U.S. Durable Goods may hamper the near-term advance in the greenback and spur a rebound in EUR/USD should the data print undermine Fed expectations for a ‘consumer-led’ recovery in 2016.

What’s Expected:



Why Is This Event Important:

A slowdown in private-sector consumption, one of the leading drivers of growth and inflation, may push the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) to further delay the normalization cycle as the weakening outlook for the global economy derails hopes for a stronger recovery.

How To Trade This Event Risk

Bearish USD Trade: Demand for Large-Ticket Items Decline 3.0% or Greater
  • Need to see green, five-minute candle following the release to consider a long trade on EURUSD.
  • If market reaction favors a bearish dollar trade, buy EURUSD with two separate position.
  • Set stop at the near-by swing low/reasonable distance from entry; look for at least 1:1 risk-to-reward.
  • Move stop to entry on remaining position once initial target is hit; set reasonable limit.
Bullish USD Trade: U.S. Durable Goods Orders Exceed Market Forecast
  • Need red, five-minute candle to favor a short EURUSD trade.
  • Implement same setup as the bearish dollar trade, just in the opposite direction.
Potential Price Targets For The Release
EURUSD Daily


  • EUR/USD may have marked a failed run at the 2016 high (1.1375) as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) fails to retain the bullish formation carried over from the previous month, but the pair may continue to consolidate with the broad range from 2015 as market participants continue to mull the timing of the next Fed rate-hike.
  • Interim Resistance: 1.1510 (50% retracement) to 1.1520 (61.8% expansion)
  • Interim Support: Interim Support: 1.0380 (78.6% expansion) to 1.0410 (61.8% expansion)

Forecast for Q1'16 - levels for GOLD (XAU/USD)

Sergey Golubev, 2016.03.24 16:05

I was reading some article in Forbes and it was stated that 'it is the time to invest in silver'. So, let's evaluate the situation with SILVER (XAG/USD) compare with GOLD (XAU/USD).

GOLD (XAU/USD daily). Correction to bearish reversal. Daily price is located above Ichimoku cloud for the primary bullish market condition: the price is breaking 1215.24 support level to below for the secondary correction to be started with 1190.86 key bearish reversal support level as the next target.

If D1 price will break 1215.24 support level on close bar so the secondary correction within the primary bullish trend will be started with 1190.86 as the next target.
If D1 price will break 1190.86 support level so we may see the reversal of the price movement from the primary bullish to the primary bearish market condition with the secondary ranging: the price will be inside Ichimoku cloud.
If D1 price will break 1263.31 resistance level so the primary bullish trend will be continuing.
If not so the price will be ranging within the levels.


  • Recommendation for long: watch daily close price to break 1263.31 for possible buy trade
  • Recommendation to go short: watch daily close price to break 1215.24 support level for possible sell trade
  • Trading Summary: correction
Resistance
Support
1263.311215.24
1283.49
1190.86


SILVER (XAG/USD daily). Bearish reversal. Daily price is located near and above Senkou Span line which is the virtual border between the primary bearish and the primary bullish on the chart: the price is breaking 15.17 key support level for the reversal of the price movement to the primary bearish market condition. Chinkou Span line is crossing the price to below on open daily bar for good bearish reversal breakdown to be started in the near future.

If D1 price will break 15.17 support level on close bar so the reversal of the price movement from the primary bullish to the primary bearish market condition will be started.
If D1 price will break 16.12 resistance level so the primary bullish trend will be continuing.
If not so the price will be ranging within the levels.


  • Recommendation for long: watch daily close price to break 16.12 for possible buy trade
  • Recommendation to go short: watch daily close price to break 15.17 support level for possible sell trade
  • Trading Summary: bearish reversal
Resistance
Support
16.1215.17
N/A
14.60

General Conslusion.
As we see from the charts above - the Silver is on bearish reversal on open bar for now, and we may see the bearish breakdown in short-term situation. The Gold is on correction within the bullish, and the bearish reversal may be possible but in the medium-term situation for example.

To make it shorter
Do not invest in silver in the near future.

EUR/USD: Stuck In Range; Focus On Next Week's NFP - The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ (based on the article)

  • USD - "Next week’s business activity and payrolls data should keep Fed rate expectations and the USD supported."
  • EUR - "We do not expect incoming inflation data to have any meaningful impact on rate expectations and the EUR."
  • CAD - "Growth data is unlikely to trigger bigger changes to rate expectations and the CAD. We expect oil price developments to remain key."
  • CHF - "The franc should be driven still by external factors such as risk sentiment rather than domestic data like the KOF leading indicator. However, low safe haven appeal may keep it an underperformer against the JPY."


EUR/USD: correction to bearish reversal. Daily price is on the secondary correction within the primary bullish market condition: the price is located near and above Ichimoku cloud and Senkou Span line which is the virtual border between the primary bearish and the primary bullish trend on the chart. If the price breaks 1.1143 key support level on the daily close bar so the bearish reversal will be started with the secondary ranging: the price will be located inside Ichimoku cloud. If the price breaks 1.1342 resistance level so the bullish trend will be continuing. Chinkou Span line is located near and above the price to be ready to break it to below for the good possible bearish breakdown.
