EUR/USD candlestick analysis (long-term view) 2011-08-15

The EUR/USD currency pair closed with a sharp decline this week.
Earlier in a weekly graph the EUR/USD formed Dark Cloud Cover candlestick combination indicating downside movement confirmed further.
This combination shows that the pair dropped sharply after an attempt to advance to the resistance level 1.4700, which means that the bears started to increase their influence.
Further decline is supported by the RSI indicator demonstrating a rollback from the overbought level 70.0.
Break of the support level 1.3969 will denote that this point of view is correct. In this case we should expect a decline to the support level 1.3427 where the Fibonacci correction level 50.0 is also located.
It is worth mentioning that stop loss should be placed slightly above the resistance level 1.4700 as its break will target the pair to 1.4900.

GBP/USD Intraday Technical analysis 2011-08-15

The spot rate broke the intermediate resistance of its medium term bearish channel in 1.6220 leading to an acceleration. A pull back on these levels is expected before a resumption of bullish.

According to previous events, the market indicates a bullish opportunity on the levels of 1.6220 with a 1st objective of 1.6320, then 1.6350. A break in 1.6190 would invalidate this scenario.

EUR/USD wave analysis for August 16, 2011

In general as expected, but with a little more dynamics, during yesterday’s trading the EUR/USD pair advanced by over two figures having tested the 1.4470 level. At the same time, give the current dynamics we might suppose that the price is forming the 3rd wave in the estimated 3rd (in the 3rd) of the new uptrend section. If so, given the inner wave dimension of this 3rd wave (in the 3rd, in the 3rd) its targets might be located slightly above the 1.4500 level.

EURUSD Technical Analysis for August 23, 2011

The European currency picture repeats. For three months we have been observing a sideways movement which has no technical signs of the trend forming. The indicator Alligator confirms a sideways motion on a day chart. As for a four-hour timeframe, of course there we see fluctuations with high amplitude.
The prices are inside a horizontal range between 23.6 and 38.2 of a Fibo long-term correction. The prices did the attempts to break two ranges, however, the channel testing was ending with a rebound every time.
Though we can see a very interesting situation by the mathematical and statistical indicators. The estimation of a standard deviation on a day chart is now close to zero. That is the price is deviating from its natural linear regression and is moving adequately. And the main trend is now flat. But the ATR is at extreme. This demonstrates that the current movement is to change soon.
By far there have been no vivid signals for opening even an intraday position. Though there plenty of possibilities for scalping.

Technical Analysis and Trading Recommendations for EUR/USD. A Weekly Review. 2011-08-

Ishimoku:
The situation with the euro is ambiguous at this chart as the Buy signal has been formed but the Bollinger Bands are showing a lack of trend. This signal is confirmed as the Chinkou Span is above the price curve and the signal is strong because the price is above the Ishimoku cloud. That is why it is not recommended to trade long on the day timeframe, for starting long positions it is necessary to wait for the Bollinger Bands’ divergence upwards. In this case the first target of the rising motion will be the first resistance level 1.4705. If this level is passed then the next target will be the second resistance level at 1.5013. If the price fixates below Kijun-sen (1.4295), Buy signal will weaken and this will be the signal to narrow long trades. The price is below the lines of Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen which shows a rising sentiment. I do not recommend to think of short trading before the formation of Sell signal. Tenkan-sen is directed upwards, which denotes a rise in short-term period. Kijun-sen is also directed upside which shows that in a long-term outlook a rising trend will continue. The Chinkou Spanis above the price curve which confirms the Buy signal and demonstrates bullish sentiment of the market. The Ishimoku cloud confirms the continuation of a climbing movement as it is diverging and directed upwards.
Bollinger Bands:
This indicator shows movement in the sideways as the Bollinger Bands are not expanding and directed sideways. That is why now forming of false signals by Ishimoku is also possible, and before the confirmation of every signal and before the beginning of the bands’ divergence it is not advised to trade.

MACD:
This indicator is directed upwards showing the current ascend within the sideways channel. So currently trading is not recommended. In case of a trend move starting it is advised to open long trades only when the MACD is directed upside.
Trading recommendations:
EUR/USD is in the sideways and long trade can be opened only in case the Bollinger Bands start to diverge. Then the target will be the first resistance level 1.4705, and if this level is passed – 1.5013. Stop loss should be placed below 1.4295. Also for starting long trade the MACD should be directed upwards.
