AUDUSD_08_25_2015.png


There is a bearish trend line formed on the hourly chart of the AUDUSD pair, which is acting as a hurdle for buyers. The best part is that the same trend line is positioned with the 100 and 200 hourly simple moving averages. So, there is a monster resistance formed around 0.7350.

On the downside, an initial support can be seen around 0.7200, followed by the 0.7140 area. Any additional weakness could take the pair towards the last low of 0.7030.

• In Japan, Securities investment, which referrers to bonds issued in a domestic market by a foreign entity in the domestic market’s currency released by Ministry of Finance came in at ¥-273.8.

GBPUSD Technical Analysis
The British Pound enjoyed a decent run this past week against the US Dollar, as it traded above a critical resistance area of 1.5700. However, the GBPUSD pair failed to hold gains and started a reversal. The downside move was very strong, as the pair cleared a couple of important bullish trend lines on the hourly chart to set the pace for more losses.

GBPUSD_08_27_2015.png


A crucial thing is that the pair has now settled below the 100 and 200 hourly simple moving averages. The GBPUSD pair traded as low as 1.5450 where it found buyers for an upside reaction.

If the pair continues to trade higher from the current levels, then an initial resistance might be around the 38.2% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the 1.5818 high to 1.5451 low. The most important hurdle is around the 100 SMA, coinciding with the trend line and 61.8% Fib level.

AUDUSD Technical Analysis
The Aussie Dollar suffered losses recently against the US Dollar, as the AUDUSD pair traded close to the 0.7080 support area. There was a nice bullish reaction noted around the mentioned area which helped buyers to take the pair higher.

AUDUSD_09_01_2015.png


There is a bearish trend line formed on the hourly chart of the AUDUSD pair, which is acting as a hurdle for buyers. There were a couple of failures noted around the stated level, and the best part is the fact that the same trend line is aligned with the 100 hourly simple moving average.

Moreover, the 50% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the 0.7204 high to 0.7081 low is also around the trend line resistance area. In short, the 0.7140-50 can be seen as a major pivot area of the pair moving ahead.

In short, there is a monster resistance around 0.6980 and buyers might struggle to clear it. A failure could ignite a downside reaction moving ahead in AUDUSD.

However, there are a few bullish signs on the chart, as the pair is trading above the 100 and 200 hourly simple moving averages. So, if the pair moves or corrects lower from the current levels, then it might find support near the 100 MA, coinciding with the 38.2% fib retracement level of the last wave from the 0.9669 low to 0.9765 high.

USDJPY Technical Analysis
The US Dollar recently traded higher against the Japanese Yen, but failed near an important confluence resistance area. There is a confluence area formed near a major bearish trend line on the hourly chart of the USDJPY pair, as the 100 and 200 simple moving averages are also positioned around it.

USDJPY_09_23_2015.png


Moreover, the 120.30 level is a pivot area acting as a hurdle for buyers. In short, it won’t be easy for buyers to take the pair higher and clear the trend line and resistance area.

On the downside, there is a double bottom pattern noted around the 119.65 level. So, there are mixed signals on the hourly chart, suggesting that the pair might trade anyway moving ahead and one should trade with caution.

AUDNZD - Next Leg Lower Underway?

Key Highlights

· 1.0970 holds the key for more losses, as a break below it might call for more downsides.

· Australian Building Permits released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics declined by 6.9% in August 2015, compared with the forecast of a 2% decline.

AUDNZD Technical Analysis

The Australian Dollar recently traded lower against the New Zealand Dollar and also managed to break the 1.10 support area to trade near 1.0966. However, buyers appeared around the stated level and pushed the AUDNZD pair higher.

AUDNZD_09_30_2015.png


Currently, there is a bearish trend line formed on the hourly chart of the AUDNZD pair, which is acting as a hurdle for the pair. Moreover, 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last move from the 1.1058 high to 1.0966 low is also positioned around the highlighted trend line and resistance area.

Overall, there is a major resistance formed around 1.1025, and as long as the pair is below the stated level more losses are possible. A break above the highlighted resistance might open the doors for more gains in the near term.

NZDUSD_10_21_2015.png


Currently, the pair is finding bids around the 0.6735 level, and trading near the 200 hourly simple moving average. If there is a correction from the current levels, then sellers might appear near the 38.2% Fib retracement level of the last drop from 0.6845 to 0.6735.

On the downside, the recent low of 0.6735 might act as a support and a break below it could take the pair towards the 0.6700 handle.

Key Highlights

· British Pound yesterday moved lower before finding support near 1.5360 against the US Dollar.

· There is a major support built around the mentioned area as there is a bullish trend line and 100 hourly MA positioned around it.

· The UK British Retail Consortium (BRC) Shop Price Index was published during the Asian session, which posted a decline of 1.8% in October 2015.

GBPUSD Technical Analysis

The GBPUSD pair recently declined and lost the plot to trade near 1.5350-60 area. There was a major trend line support formed around the mentioned area, as the 100 and 200 hourly simple moving averages were also positioned around it. Overall, the support held and prevented any further downsides.

GBPUSD_04_11_2015.png


Currently, the pair is trading/correcting higher and struggling to clear the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the 1.5496 high to 1.5358 low. Let us see whether the pair starts to move lower one more time or it breaks higher and trades towards the last high. There is a chance of a new high if the pair gains traction.

On the downside, the trend line and support area holds the key. A break and close below the same and 100 MA may ignite more loses in the near term.

British Retail Consortium (BRC) Shop Price Index

Today during the Asian session, the UK British Retail Consortium (BRC) Shop Price Index, which measures price changes in the popular retail outlets in the UK was reported.

The outcome was not encouraging, as the price registered a decline of 1.8% in October 2015, compared with the preceding month. The British Pound failed to gain traction after the release and it looks like the GBPUSD might struggle moving ahead and could move lower one more time.

· It is likely that the AUDUSD pair is heading towards the 100 hourly simple moving average after the break.

AUDUSD_11_11_2015.png


There was a channel pattern formed on the hourly chart of the AUDUSD pair, which was broken by buyers to ignite an upside move. On the upside, the 100 hourly simple moving average is waiting along with the 38.2% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the 0.7168 high to 0.7015 low to act as a resistance.

On the downside, the recent low of 0.7015 holds the key for the AUDUSD pair. A break below it may take the pair lower moving ahead. The hourly RSI is above the 50 level, which is a positive sign.

AUDNZD Technical Analysis

The AUDNZD pair recently tested the 1.1020-30 area where it found sellers and started to move lower. There is a monster triangle pattern formed on the hourly chart of the AUDNZD pair, which may act as a catalyst for the next move.

AUDNZD_11_18_2015.png


A break below the triangle support area might take the pair towards the 100 hourly simple moving average, which is sitting near the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last leg from the 1.0811 low to 1.1028 high.

If the pair manages to gain bids around the support trend line, then a move back towards the previous swing high is likely in the short term.

AUDUSD_11_25_2015.png


Moreover, the AUDUSD pair also settled above the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last move from the 0.7318 high to 0.7013 low, which is a sign that buyers are here to stay.

It is likely that the pair may test the 76.4% Fib level at 0.7294 and might even head towards the last swing high of 0.7380 where sellers could take a stand and prevent gains.

Australian Construction Work Done

Today, the Australian Construction Work Done, which measures the number of construction work done in the last month was reported by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. The market was expecting a decrease of 2.1% in Q3 2015, compared with the last increase of 2.1%. The outcome was disappointing, as the work done declined by 3.6%.

USDCHF_12_02_2015.png


Currently, the pair is trading near the 100 hourly simple moving average. If sellers gain momentum and take the pair lower below the channel support area, then a test of the last swing of 1.0224 is possible in the near term.

On the upside, the channel resistance area near 1.0280 holds the key and may continue to act as a hurdle for buyers.

US Total Vehicle Sales

The US Total Vehicle sales, which measures vehicle sales in the U.S and is considered as an indicator for consumer confidence was released by the Autodata Corp. The market was expecting a reading of 18.10M in November 2015. However, the outcome was a bit on the higher side.

NZDUSD Consolidating Before Break?
Key Highlights

· New Zealand Dollar dived towards the 0.6600 support area recently against the US Dollar where it just managed to find buyers.

· The NZDUSD pair is currently making an attempt to correct higher, but struggling to find momentum.

· There is a resistance formed near 0.6650-60 where sellers are defending the upside.

· Chinese Consumer Price Index released by the National Bureau of Statistics of China posted an increase of 1.5% in November 2015, whereas the market was expecting 1.4%.

NZDUSD Technical Analysis

The New Zealand Dollar was under pressure during this week against the US Dollar, as it fell close to the 0.6600 support area. The NZDUSD pair is currently holding the ground and forming a consolidation pattern.

NZDUSD_12_09_2015.png


On the upside, there is a monster resistance formed near 0.6650-60, as there is a bearish trend line protecting gains. Moreover, the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the 0.6786 high to 0.6610 low is also acting as a hurdle for buyers. This is not all, as the 100 hourly simple moving average is also aligned above the trend line and resistance area to stall the upside move.

On the downside, the last low of 0.6610 may act as a support with an initial support around the 200 hourly MA.

· The GBPUSD pair traded as low as 1.5030, and currently struggling to hold the ground.

· US Total Net TIC Flows released by the US Department of Treasury posted a reading of $68.9B for October 2015, compared with the last reading of $-172.7B (revised).

GBPUSD Technical Analysis

GBPUSD_12_16_2015.png


The pair has settled below the 200 and 100 hourly simple moving average, which is a sign that sellers are in control. If the pair attempts to recover from the current levels, then it may find resistance near the 200 MA, coinciding with the 38.2% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the 1.5239 high to 1.5028 low.

On the downside, a break below the recent low of 1.5028 could take the pair towards the all-important 1.50 support area. The hourly RSI is below the 50 level, which is a bearish sign.

The EURGBP pair traded a few pips above the 0.7400 resistance area and currently struggling to settle above it. There is a chance of a minor recovery or we can say a correction, which can be seen as a buying opportunity.

On the downside, the broken triangle resistance area may now act as a support and holds losses if the pair moves lower from the current levels.

However, the pair is currently finding bids near the 50% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the 0.7243 low to 0.7301 high. Any further losses from the current levels may take the pair towards the highlighted trend line and support area.

The most important point is that the 100 hourly simple moving average is just below the trend line and support area. In short, there are many barriers for sellers on the way down. On the upside, an initial resistance is around 0.7300, followed by the 0.7340 area.

However, on the upside there is a bearish trend line, which is preventing gains. There was an attempt already to break it, but buyers failed.

The hourly RSI is above the 50 level, which is an encouraging sign. If the pair corrects lower from the current levels, then there are many support areas on the way down, including the 50% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the 1.0658 low to 1.0727 high
