AUD/USD: short-term strategy, long-term strategy and the levels to watch - Swiss Finance Corporation (based on the article)

  • Short-term strategy: "Negative below 0.7240/7310 with scope for limited losses ahead. Short strategy off 0.7250 is stil in the money. Reconsider booking profits on downticks or stick to shorts with stops trailed down to entry level, targeting retest of recent lows."
  • Long-term strategy: "No change. Positive above m/t support @ 0.7020. Sustained break above 0.7720 opens 0.7380/7440 (partially met)as next targets. Sharp rejection off 0.7380 signals bull exhaustion and possible top in place. Book profits on upticks or trail stops up to 0.7160."
  • Levels to watch: "0.7160 on the downside 0.73 on the upside."


As we see from the chart above - the price (H4) is ranging between 100 period SMA and 200 period SMA waiting for direction.

  • If the price will break 0.7262 resistance level on close H4 bar so the bullish trend to be started on this timeframe.
  • If price will break 0.7158 support on close H4 bar so we may see the bearish market condition for this intra-day price.

  • Short-term strategy: "Positive above 1.0860 with scope for retest of recent highs.Market seems not to be overly happy with EURUSD staying above 1.10. Respect 1.09-1.1050 range for now. Involve only on the extremes."
  • Long-term strategy: "Daily close above 1.10/1.1020 turns our m/t model positive. We do not get excited though and take wait-and-see approach looking for additional confirmation that rally has further room to go."
  • Levels to watch: "1.0920/860 on the downside; 1.1030/50 on the upside."


As we see from the chart above - the price (H4) is on bullish market condition for the secondary ranging within s/r levels waiting for direction:

  • If the price will break 1.1042 resistance level from below to above on close H4 bar so the bullish trend will be continuing.
  • If price will break 1.0926 support level from above to below on close H4 bar so the secondary correction will be started within the primary bullish market condition.
  • If price will break 1.0795 support level from above to below on close H4 bar so the bearish reversal will be started with the secondary ranging.
  • If not so the price will be ranging within the levels.

AUD/USD Technical Analysis: re-enter for short (based on the article)

  • "The Australian Dollar continues to consolidate below the 0.73 figure against its US counterpart having broken support set from early November. Overall positioning may be carving out a bearish Head and Shoulders topping pattern, although confirmation is still pending for now."
  • "From here, a daily close below resistance-turned-support at 0.7184 opens the door for a challenge of 0.7089, the intersection of a rising trend line set from September lows and the 23.6% Fibonacci expansion. Alternatively, a push above horizontal pivot resistance at 0.7283 paves the way for a test of the 38.2% Fib retracement at 0.7387."
  • "We sold AUD/USD at 0.7250 and subsequently booked profit on half of the position."


Anyway, H4 price is located near 100 period SMA on the border between the primary bullish and the ranging bearish trend on the chart with the symmetric triangle pattern to be crossed for direction:

  • if the price breaks 0.7268 resistance so the reversal to the primary bullsh condition will be started;
  • if the price breaks 0.7158 support level so the primary bearish trend will be continuing with the secondary ranging up to the new 'bottom' to be forming;
  • if not so the price will be moved within the channel.

2014-12-15 13:30 GMT | [USD - CPI]

[USD - CPI] = Change in the price of goods and services purchased by consumers.
Consumer prices account for a majority of overall inflation. Inflation is important to currency valuation because rising prices lead the central bank to raise interest rates out of respect for their inflation containment mandate.

==========

The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) was unchanged in November on a seasonally adjusted basis, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Over the last 12 months, the all items index increased 0.5 percent before seasonal adjustment.

The index for all items less food and energy rose 0.2 percent in November, the same increase as in September and October. The indexes for shelter, medical care, airline fares, new vehicles, and tobacco were among the indexes that rose in November. In contrast, the indexes for recreation, apparel, household furnishings and operations, and used cars and trucks all declined.

EUR/USD ranges on reversal ahead of FOMC (adapted from the article)

Morgan Stanley is forecasting USD long movement against the major currencies incl TRY, BRL, AUD and CAD for example:

  • "Of course, it matters what you go long USD against. We think the combination of weak commodities, stress in high yield and uncertainty about China’s FX policy may lead funding currencies to outperform."
  • "The deterioration in risk sentiment is supporting our bullish JPY call, and EUR’s negative correlation to risky assets is strong, especially given the disappointing ECB announcement earlier this month."
  • "Should the Fed’s messaging fail or broader macro concerns weigh on risky assets, USD is actually vulnerable against EUR, JPY and other non-commodity G10 currencies."
  • "Therefore we prefer to play USD longs against AUD and CAD in G10 and select EM currencies such as TRY and BRL."

Let's describe the situation with the technical point of view.

H4 price was on the secondary correction within the primary bullish market condition: price was bounced from 1.1059 resistance level yesterday and it was stopped inside Ichimoku cloud near 1.0904 support level and Senkou Span line which is the virtual border between the primary bullish and the primary bearish on the chart.

  • Chinkou Span line crossed the price from above to below for good possible breakdown.
  • Absolute Strength indicator is estimating the ranging condition.
  • Trend Strength indicator is forecasting the bearish reversal to be started soon.
  • The nearest support levels are 1.0904 and 1.0878.
  • The nearest resistance levels are 1.1042 and 1.1059.
Resistance
Support
1.10421.0904
1.10591.0878


If price will break 1.0904 support level on close H4 bar so we may see the reversal of the intra-day price movement from the primary bullish to the primary bearish market condition with the secondary ranging: the price will be located inside Ichimoku cloud for ranging).
If price will break 1.1059 resistance level on close H4 bar so the primary bullish trend will be continuing.
If not so the price will be ranging within the levels.

  • Recommendation for long: watch close H4 price to break 1.1059 for possible buy trade
  • Recommendation to go short: watch close H4 price to break 1.0904 support level for possible sell trade
  • Trading Summary: ranging on bearish reversal

USD, EUR/USD, AUD/USD and GBP/USD Into FOMC (adapted from the article)

Credit Suisse and Credit Agricole are forecasting the Fed rates hike for today telling that Fed will maintain a dovish tone during the FOMC Statement:

2014-12-16 19:00 GMT | [USD - Federal Funds Rate]

  • past data is 0.25%
  • forecast data is 0.50%
  • actual data is N/A according to the latest press release

if actual > forecast (or previous one) = good for currency (for USD in our case)

[USD - Federal Funds Rate] = Interest rate at which depository institutions lend balances held at the Federal Reserve to other depository institutions overnight. Short term interest rates are the paramount factor in currency valuation - traders look at most other indicators merely to predict how rates will change in the future.

==========

Credit Suisse, Credit Agricole and some other int'l financial institutions are forecasting the ranging volatile market condition during and after FOMC mettings because of the following:

  • they predict for Federal Funds Rate actual value to be 0.50% compare with the 0.25% as the previous one, and if actual > forecast (or previous one) = good for currency (for USD in our case), but
  • they are expecting less hawkish (more dovish tone) during the FOMC Statement, and as we know: less hawkish is bad for currency (for USD in our case).

Thus, we may see the ranging condition in intra-day basis for the major currency pairs.

What does it mean for EUR/USD, AUD/USD and GBP/USD for example?

==========

EUR/USD H4: Ranging. The price is on ranging condition located near and above 100 SMA/200 SMA within the following key reversal support/resistance levels:

  • 1.1059 resistance located above 100 SMA/200 SMA in the bullish area of the chart, and
  • 1.0520 support level located below 100 SMA/200 SMA in the primary bearish area of the chart.



According to above mentioned forecast - the price will continuing with the ranging condition within the levels.

==========

AUD/USD H4: Ranging on bearish reversal. The price is on ranging condition located near 200 SMA on the border between the primary bearish and the primary bullish trend on the chart within the following key reversal support/resistance levels:

  • 0.7384 resistance located above 100 SMA/200 SMA in the bullish area of the chart, and
  • 0.7159 support level located below 100 SMA/200 SMA in the primary bearish area of the chart.



Thus, we can foresee the price to break 200 SMA from above to below for 0.7159 as the next bearish target which means the reversal of intra-day price movement to the primary bearish market condition.

==========

GBP/USD H4: Ranging. The price is located near and below 100 SMA/200 SMA for the ranging market condition within the following key reversal support/resistance levels:

  • 1.5239 resistance located above 100 SMA/200 SMA in the bullish area of the chart, and
  • 1.4894 support level located below 100 SMA/200 SMA in the primary bearish area of the chart.



The most likely scenario for the intra-day price is to be moved during and immediate after FOMC meetings with the ranging condition within the levels, and in long-term situation - bearish market condition by 1.49/1.48 support area to be broken.
