Andrea FXMart Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 Technical Analysis for EUR/USD: June 13, 2016 The Euro is holding onto 1.12 cents against the USD, effectively avoiding a bearish trend but keeping the risks on the upside. Pro-Brexit campaigns are gaining, questioning the stability of the European Union. It’s a quiet day for the EUR/USD, but Tuesday will bring in trade data from Spain and Italy followed by France on Wednesday. The region’s trade balance is on the radar on Thursday, as well as inflation. The USD is posting gains against its major peers due to bullish initial jobless claims late last week, reversing losses from dismal nonfarm payrolls in the beginning of the month. This week’s highlight is Fed’s interest rate decision which is expected to remain at 0.5 percent, although some investment firms are forecasting a rate cut. The pair is trading within a 50-pip range and is currently at 1.1261. The price is climbing. The first support is at 1.1216 and 1.1179 subsequently. The first resistance is at 1.1299 and 1.1327 subsequently. The MACD indicator is in positive location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea FXMart Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share Posted June 14, 2016 Technical Analysis for GBP/USD: June 14, 2016 Economic data coming this week are overshadowed by a gaining Brexit campaign. Research firm ICM’s latest survey showed the Team ‘Leave’ six points ahead, shaking the strength of the GBP which has been experiencing volatility in recent months. GBP/USD took a tumble in early session but has been playing teeter totter with each other. USD is on a volatile ride as well with the upcoming FOMC meeting on Wednesday. Thursday will see the Bank of England announce its interest rate decision that may help push the sterling to bullish territory. The pair is trading at a wide range between 1.3839 and 1.5931 on the daily charts. Traders are closely watching public opinion on the Brexit. Little impact is expected from the CPI and PPI today as well as from the unemployment rate on Wednesday. The first support is at 1.3839 and 1.3724. The first resistance is at 1.4232 and 1.4300.

Andrea FXMart Posted June 15, 2016 Author Share Posted June 15, 2016 Fundamental Analysis for GBP/USD: June 15, 2016 A latest survey showing that Vote Leave is points ahead dragged the British pound to 1.41 cents against a stronger US dollar. As the EU referendum approaches, the sterling is swaying nonstop due to voters’ sentiment and the release of poll results after another. TNS revealed yesterday that 47 percent of respondents wanted the UK to leave the EU, while only 40 percent wanted to remain a member of the bloc. GBP/USD fell to two-month lows.UK inflation in May was also on the red, printing only a 0.3 percent rise, similar to the same period last year. Analysts were expecting a 0.4 percent growth. In m/m terms, CPI also disappointed as it climbed by 0.2 percent, missing the forecasted 0.3 percent. Transport costs rose by 0.9 percent in Mayi from the previous month but was offset by declines in food and clothing. As we predicted, CPI didn’t have significant effect on the sterling especially because a Brexit poll was released in the same day. The Bank of England’s decision on its interest rate is next on the GBP’s economic headline. The USD performed slightly stronger than its counterparts with the release of positive retail sales which hit 0.5 percent m/m against a 0.3 percent forecast. Core retail sales was in line with expectations at 0.4 percent. Both exports and imports at 1.1 percent and 1.4 percent respectively eclipsed their forecasted rates. Atlanta Fed upgraded its GDP forecast for Q2 to 2.8 percent from an initial estimate of 2.5 percent. Strong retail sales was also viewed as a signal that consumer expenditure will most likely print robust numbers. We are looking at an immediate support of 1.4089 and 1.4040 subsequently, while resistance is at 1.4265 and 1.4350. The MACD indicator is in negative location. The spot exchange is at 1.4142 and rising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea FXMart Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 Technical Analysis for GBP/USD: June 20, 2016 The pound is keeping its strength against most of its counterparts as it enters the week of the EU referendum. Bulls are protecting the sterling as buying interest continue to increase. GBP/USD has broken through 1.46 cents and has shown no solid sign of a downtrend. The pair surpassed numerous resistance but bottomed at 1.4359 today. It then reached a high of 1.4672. The spot exchange is now at 1.4626, and can break into 1.47 levels in the near term with a switch in public sentiment. Polls show that voters are shifting their support towards the “Remain” campaign. The MACD indicator is in neutral location and we are expecting further price increase as bears fail to take the pair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea FXMart Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share Posted June 21, 2016 Technical Analysis for AUD/USD: June 21, 2016 The Aussie dollar is benefiting from a volatile sterling and euro as investors seek a safe heaven in the AUD. The RBA meeting minutes headlined the impetus this week. The Board implied the importance of a weak domestic currency to support Q2 and Q3’s GDP growth. However, the minutes did not have a significant impact on the AUD/USD. Australia’s house price index printed surprising numbers, declining by 0.2 percent in the first quarter of the year compared to the previous quarter’s 0.2 percent growth. Analysts expected a 0.8 percent rise in Q1. Although AUD/USD is trading at 0.7487, the upsurge is limited due to easing commodity prices. The USD has been fairly quiet and is waiting for Yellen’s statement later on the semi-annual monetary policy report. The first support can be found at 0.7454 and 0.7413 subsequently. The first resistance is at 0.7500 and 0.7550. The MACD indicator is positive location and the price is rising. However we are not expecting the AUD to break into the 0.75 level anytime today.

Andrea FXMart Posted June 22, 2016 Author Share Posted June 22, 2016 Fundamental Analysis for EUR/USD: June 22, 2016 EUR/USD was hit with profit-taking and a warning from ECB president Mario Draghi that another stimulus is on the way. The euro retreated to 1.12 cents after reaching 1.13 in the past days due to a firming ‘Bremain’ public sentiment. The pair is trading at 1.1272. Draghi said that more stimulus is on the way as the ECB sees inflation rate missing the 2 percent target until 2018. Inflation is predicted to reach 1.3 percent in 2017 and 1.6 percent in 2018. On the data front, Germany’s ZEW Economic Sentiment for June was at 19.2, largely exceeding the predicted 4.7 increase. The country’s current conditions grew to 54.5 from 53.1 in May, while the Eurozone’s economic sentiment was up to 20.2, surpassing the 15.3 expected rate. The USD is also taking a beating from Yellen’s statement that shows Fed’s worry over the labor market. The Fed chairwoman effectively reduced the possibility of a rate hike in its next monetary meeting in July. EUR/USD is still on the bullish side but a drop below the immediate support of 1.1240 will move it to a neutral position, with the next support at 1.1213. The first resistance is at 1.1291 and 1.1350 subsequently. The MACD indicator is in a positive location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea FXMart Posted June 23, 2016 Author Share Posted June 23, 2016 Fundamental Analysis for GBP/USD: June 23, 2016 GBP broke through 1.48 in early European session, peaking at 1.4830 due to two polls that showed the Remain camp leading by several points. This is the sterling’s highest rate against the USD in 2016. According to YouGov, the Remain camp gathered 51 percent of voters while the Brexit camp recorded 49 percent. ComRes, another major polling firm, revealed similar results with the Bremain leading by 6 percent at 48 percent while the Brexit side was at 42 percent. GBP/USD is now in a consolidating phase as traders remain cautious in the hours leading to the referendum. In the US, traders are going short on the USD as they wait for the huge impact the referendum’s result could bring. It is understood that the result along with the outcome of Fed’s assessment on a soft labor market will largely affect the interest rate in July. Dutch bank ING predicted that a Bremain will propel the GBP/USD to the 1.52 level while a Brexit will push it to as low as 1.30. The first support occurs at 1.4700 and 1.4659 subsequently. The first resistance occurs at 1.4830 and 1.4897. The MACD indicator is in positive location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea FXMart Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 Technical Analysis for EUR/USD: June 30, 2016 Followed by the Consumer Confidence report in the Eurozone, the euro currency has not made any alteration with its positions. Concurrently, the ECB will not whisk with the further monetary policy easing. There should be a proof that the economy of the Eurozone is declining before it implements any action. Slowly, the euro managed to step up continuously. It is showed in the 4-hour chart that the instrument stayed in a downside channel and the euro increased to its upper boundary. The pair was likely to regain 0.47% and has made a new local high at 1.1130. The resistance occurs at 1.1130 while the support stands at 1.1000. The MACD indicator was kept standing on a negative location while its histogram increased. The indicator will also give buy signals while its histogram increases. RSI indicator is in an impartial location and its growth from the oversold area is a buy signal. The price is under the Moving Averages (50, 100 and 200) which goes downwards indicating a sell signal. The 200-day moving average is a sturdy resistance for the euro which it touched yesterday. The EUR/USD tries to revert into the ascending channel on the daily chart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea FXMart Posted July 4, 2016 Author Share Posted July 4, 2016 Technical Analysis for USD/JPY: July 4, 2016 The Japanese government believed that the cause of the household spending enfeeblement in May was the continuous breakdown of the consumer prices. This event leads to a further compression to the Bank of Japan which is discontented with the present sinewy of the Japanese yen. The instrument reduced from a local high. The pair is directed to revert under 102.50. The resistance occurs at 103.50 while the support resides at 102.50. We should notice that the expansion of the MACD indicator decelerated. It has stayed in the negative location which signifies a sell signal. Meanwhile, the RSI is in a neutral location and doesn't provide any signals. The USD/JPY pair is under the Moving Averages (50,100 and 200) which goes on a descending movement. The pair tested the 50-day movement and slip downwards. The 50-day movement is the nearest resistance for the pair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea FXMart Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 Technical Analysis for AUD/USD: July 11, 2016 After the issuance of the monthly report for the non-farm payroll data, the AUD/USD pair quickly had a rise in price movement. Due to its strong report the Australian Dollar attracted more investors as presented in the daily swing chart. Technically, the pair demonstrated a horizontal price movement for the past few days near 50% levels. The main range is defined from .7285 to .7645 while reaching its 50% level that is .7465. At the same time, the short-term range had a moving average from .7645 to .7301. Its 50% level falls at .7473. If the two 50% levels is combined, the .7473 and .7465 will create a strong trend that would prevail on the existing market movement. A strong move over .7571 will predict a downward change in value which is .7535 by which it would give a signal to the buyers. The angle of the moving average under .7571 will call the attention of the currency sellers. Long term investors should be cautious in dealing with this price since it is the trigger point of the potential targets .7573 and .7565. Traders are suggested to develop the sustained move above .7571 through a sharply bullish tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea FXMart Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 Fundamental Analysis: July 11, 2016 Silver prices went down Friday morning after the USD fared better than the expected NFP numbers, causing its sudden surge. However, Silver prices experienced a minor increase in its price after hitting an all-new low at $19.20, but this is still far from its weekly high of $21.11. Should the prices of this metal go down again next week, a breakout amounting to less than $19.20 will be of significance. A move through this trend will make the next key value support at $17.99 as shown in the May 2016 high, suggesting a temporary suspension in the daily bull trend for Silver and opening its doors for more price declines. If Silver continues to break until next week, then traders must look at the SSI to step away from its present extremes and spot the following resistance at $20.48. However a move at this point may suggest that Friday’s decline might just be a remainder of its lows. If this is the case then traders may expect Silver to trade back at its monthly high of $21.11.

Andrea FXMart Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 Fundamental Analysis: July 12, 2016 The exchange rate of British pound to Euro (EUR/GBP) plunged a significant dip of 9 points just as euro has a little price action and the value of British pound emerges from default rate. At the moment, the pair seems to be holding the same level at 0.8514. Due to the extreme support of the European Central Bank monetary policy, it helped maintain the stability of prices and maintained the inflation rate close to medium term position. When inflation rate rises dramatically, there is a need to promote monetary easing in order to minimize financial costs and increase the amount of money flow in the market. The investment sector is beset with difficulty, making it complicated to invest a new capital. To this extent the bank management should stabilize the global economy in order to aid bankruptcy. Every financial institution should write off undesirable credits or loans so as to recover losses and produce new income. Since the outset of the stock market storm in U.K. , the British pound ride out a way through it and made a 31-year low against dollar. British sterling underscores a big fall of 13% versus dollar and 10% against euro. According to analysts, this will build up U.K exports because anything that is price-marked in sterling would be much cheaper for the foreign buyers. But the effect of these major lost in sterling offered mixed trade signals whether or not it would influence the external trade transactions.

Andrea FXMart Posted July 13, 2016 Author Share Posted July 13, 2016 AUD/USD Technical Analysis: July 13 2016 AUD/USD recorded its highest stock price on May 3. But today the pair obtained a lower rate after a growth surge that happened yesterday. The recent strength of the market's trend was remarked by the appetite for risk in the global economy. The Aussie Dollar has improved since the Reserve Bank of Australia reduced interest rates and they are now regenerating all their losses during the post-Brexit. The daily swing chart defined the pair's main trend as an uptrend and made it cut down the Brexit top that changed the .7645 into .7285 as the market bottom. The main price range is .7834 to .7145. The retracement alert level is close above .7569 to .7487, this shows a chance of an upside strengthening. The market movement occurred to an uptrending angle at .7665 by which it is close to the result of yesterday’s strength at .7622. Meanwhile, AUD/USD may take a bullish or long position in certain securities due to a sustained market movement over .7665 and this would probably begin an upside momentum to rotate the downtrending angle at .7687. Technically, it is difficult to deal with .7665 and coping with this real time exchange rate will signal the presence of more sellers than buyers. If the price continued a downward sloping average below .7539, it indicates weakness for the next target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrea FXMart Posted July 13, 2016 Author Share Posted July 13, 2016 Fundamental Analysis: July 13, 2016 The EUR/USD pair experienced a small upsurge after a possible stability of UK politics, lifting pressure from traders. The USD traded at 96.38 or 20 points lower, giving up some of its “safe haven” profit. On the other hand, the EUR traded today at 1.1088. Consumer prices in Germany rose by 0.1%, while the yearly inflation rate for the past three months has increased from April’s -0.1%. Concerns within the Bundesbank may soon arise if the inflation rate continues its increase. Fuel prices also went up as oil prices increased, causing transport costs to go up by 0.8%. On the other hand, food prices for this month went down at 0.4% while recreation prices increased after an upsurge in package holiday prices. On Monday afternoon, the EUR single currency experienced a marginal elevation against the USD after slightly up and down swings in a data-light session. In general, the EUR was able to limit its incurred losses, thanks to the psychological barrier at the level of $1.10 for two consecutive sessions in spite of the turmoil caused by nonfarm payrolls.

Andrea FXMart Posted July 14, 2016 Author Share Posted July 14, 2016 Fundamental Analysis: July 14 2016 The Bank of Canada opted to maintain interest rates during their most recent closed-door meeting with the currency board and bank directors and eventually the rate of the Canadian Dollar moved higher yesterday. The USD/CAD keeps on pushing higher prices most of the trading session but the invested capital gains immediately fluctuate down to 1.2934 close to 1.2976, falling to 0.0064 or -0.49%. Since midsummer the BoC continued to retain its appropriate benchmark with a rate of 0.50%. According to the central bank, the financial valuation of the BoC would likely have an economic growth, considering that it has increased by 2.4% during the first quarter of the year and is expected to decline by 1% by the second quarter. The assessment is inferred through the volatility of the capital flows, household consumption and the massive wildfire that ravage the Canada's region. The central bank also anticipates the expansion of the Canada's economy by 1.3% up to 3.5% during the months of July to September. The BoC mentioned also their expectation of the price stability of oil prices for the rest of this year. One of the problems emerged in Canada is the overall financial vulnerabilities as it resulted to a lower rates and experienced an adverse shock. Other news releases said that a 4% price fall in crude oil will restrain the weakening of the USD/CAD pair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea FXMart Posted July 14, 2016 Author Share Posted July 14, 2016 Fundamental Analysis EUR/USD: July 14, 2016 The EUR/USD pair was subject to pressure following the release of China’s latest trade balance data. The Euro went up by 0.0012 or roughly +0.11%, hitting 1.1084 from its low of 1.1042. EUR traders can now breathe a sigh of relief after the trade balance data from China came out in their favor after the news release signalled a possible volatility. Exports came out at -4.8% after an estimate of -4.1%. On the other hand, imports came out at -8.4%, a long shot from its forecast of -5.0%. Meanwhile the dollar’s headline figure for June came out at $48.1 billion, about $2 billion lower than May’s headline figure, with economists gunning for a reading of $46.64 billion. After US stock indices had an upward surge, Investors and traders are now back to monitoring global equity assets with the promise of higher risk assets, putting more confidence in the EUR/USD and aiding in its overall recovery.

Andrea FXMart Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 Technical Analysis for USD: July 15, 2016 The US Dollar has been struggling to make a significant increase after the UK’s Brexit vote caused uncertainties in the international market. This absence of an upside signals that whatever the market is doing is not convincing investors to actually bid up with an asset that has an optimal fundamental backdrop. Only the AUD had a desirable post-Brexit run among the USD’s four counterparts, which includes EUR, GBP, and JPY. The AUD’s track record after Brexit can be proof that there are better options than the USD. The JPY experienced an upsurge at 98.77 after the Brexit announcement, but has since went down at ~106 JPY per USD. The GBP is experiencing an expected volatility but has somewhat become stable following the announcement of Theresa May’s appointment as UK’s new Prime Minister. The USD’s failure to find a break might make it hard for investors to make predictions on its direction, which can cast more ambiguities in one of the world’s principal currencies.

Andrea FXMart Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 Fundamental Analysis for EUR/USD: July 20, 2016 The EUR/USD pair went down to 1.1071 while traders sit in anticipation of the ECB meeting scheduled on Thursday, where Mario Draghi is expected to comment about the ECB bond buying program after it drained the market supply. On the other hand, the economic sentiment for the German ZEW went lower due to uncertainties brought about by Brexit, as well as Italian bank concerns and worldwide terrorism attacks. The economic sentiment reading for the German ZEW went down drastically at -6.8 points. Meanwhile, the Eurozone ZEW sentiment numbers were released at -14.7 points, with both sentiment readings coming short of its expected numbers. The Brexit vote will be affecting not only the German ZEW but also other european countries. Although the German economy has proven to be resilient enough, its economy is still prone to the negative effects of economic events in the nation, and the ZEW numbers is expected to reflect these repercussions. The German ZEW economic sentiment surprised the market after a steep decline in July, its first since October 2014. It was initially forecasted to come in at +8.2 points.

Andrea FXMart Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 EUR/JPY Fundamental Analysis: July 20 2016 The EUR/JPY recorded a downturn with an estimate of 35 points to 117.23 after euro traded a flat-lining, though the Japanese yen strongly gained a higher level just before the meeting of the Bank of Japan (BoJ) to be held next week, July 28-29. The BoJ expects that banks all over the world will cease the feverish trading cues. While the European Central Bank (ECB) already stated that they will set up a meeting this week. The movement of Governor Kuroda's Mario Draghi recovered and will continue to affect him as he stands to lose through the monetary course. However, he can reconsider the route he used to take or measure the BoJ's quantitative easing then accept that he is suffering from defeat. On the other hand, Kuroda could apply the recommendation from the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke about the deflation of Japan for a long period of time. Whereas, the conjecture of the BoJ on their upcoming meeting is that Japan will pursue the “helicopter money” in order to widen the perpetual bond payments. The analysts from Morgan Stanley pointed out about the reports issued last few months ago by which it appeared that BoJ had an increase on their purchases beyond their official year pace worth $750 billion.
