Technical analysis 23rd March 2012

EUR/USD: technical analysis
This pair has rallied up to a resistance zone composed of previous highs and has started correcting. It will probably fall back down to support at the bottom of the range at 1.3175 at first and then possibly 1.3010. The bigger picture is still bearish overall as there is a large H&S pattern at the highs, however, the recent spike higher was strong and another breakout move could bring the exchange rate up to 1.3400 where the down-sloping channel on the daily chart is located, although after that it will probably resume its descent.

GBP/USD: technical analysis
"Bearish" decline halted at 1.5770/60 support, which triggered a pullback up. The price now resides at 1.5910/00 resistance, mentioned earlier as the key barrier for the uptrend. To recommence their trend and rise towards new local maximums the "bulls" will have to breach 1.5940/1.5910 resistance range. Indicators are uncertain, so the "bulls" may fail and the price has all chances to recommence a decline, if it sucessfully breaches level 1.5750/40. If confirms, trading will move further towards 1.5430, 1.5270 targets.

USD/JPY: technical analysis
Forecasts confirmed and the price continued to move sideways within 84.00 - 82.60/50 range . Attempt to breach the range's support failed - having reached level 82.40/35, the price retraced back up and now resides around 82.60/70 levels. Indicators are bearish, suggesting further decline. 82.50/60 support breakout will indicate a deeper correction, probably to 80.60 or even 79.90/80 level. Before the price holds below 82.50 level, "bullish" sentiment prevails. If the uptrend recommences, the next target will be found at 84.80/90- 85.00 level.

AUD/USD: bounce possible
The aussie has broken down out of its channel and reached a target at 1.0300. It is also being supported at that level by the 200 and 100-day MA's. There is a chance it could bounce from there as momentum is also showing bullish convergence and 5 waves down appear to have completed. If there is a bounce, there may well be a rebound to a band of resistance at around the 1.0555 level. Before the rebound there is also the chance of a final move lower to the 1.0310 region.

Technical analysis 26th March 2012

EUR/USD
EUR/USD is breaking down after retouching the range highs. There is a substantial clustering of support at the 1.3170 level and it is possible it could stall and bounce from this level back up to the 1.3300 ceiling. Alternatively, a downside break of support at 1.3170 could lead to a sell-off all the way to the range lows at 1.3015.

GBP/USD
Forecasts confirmed - 1.5910 resistance held back further "bullish" growth, like expected. Having tested this barrier on the way up, the price pulled back down, so it now resides at 1.5810/20 level. Indicators seem to be changing their direction, which gives reasons to anticipate further possible decline to 1.5690 level, which currently coincides with the secondary trend line (blue dashed line). If this barrier on the way down is breached, the price will most likely proceed to 1.5430, 1.5270 targets. Before it breaches 1.5760 support, "bullish" chances to recommence growth are still high. Reversal to the uptrend channel sector (red lines) will indicate renewed uptrend.

EUR/JPY: downside possible
The correction from the March 21 highs is probably an A-B-C pattern which has further to go. Wave B is currently unfolding and I would expect it to end soon even though there are no signs of weakness yet. Then wave C may begin down. The target for the end of C is 106.90, which also happens to be at the level of the trend-line from the Jan lows and at the 200-day and 4-hr moving averages. A more conservative target might be at the weekly pivot at 108.05.

Technical analysis 27th March 2012

USD/JPY
The price keeps on its attempts to breach 82.50/60 support. It has only managed to pierce it so far and then retraced towards 83.00 - 82.60/50 price range. Indicators are currently neutral, suggesting uncertainty in the market, which gives reasons to anticipate further sideways movement and then correction to growth with a possible decline to 80.60 or even to 79.90/80 level. However, medium-term "bullish" trend is still dominating. Should it recommence, the next target will be found at 84.80/90- 85.00 level.

GBP/USD
The "bulls" confirmed their strong potential and resumed growth from 1.5800support. The price has recently ascended towards the breached uptrend channel (red) line and is now testing it again. Trading is carried out at 1.5990/80 level. Earlier forecasts expected a medium term "bullish" trend to recommence if the price retraces back to the uptrend channel sector. So, if current attempts turn out successful, the price will most likely ascend towards 1.6090/1.6100 resistance levels. Indicators are turned up, so the price may succeed. At the same time, level 1.6000 looks to be a strong barrier on the way up, so it's worth considering a possible pullback down too. Decline below 1.5910/00 support will turn market sentiment "bearish" and the price will most likely plunge to 1.5760 level.

EUR/USD
The EUR/USD pair has just backed-up into resistance from the trend-line running up from the January lows. It has started to fall from here and will probably continue until support from previous highs located at 1.3280. However from an upside perspective there is also a chance of the move higher unfolding a little further to 1.3405, nevertheless my preference is for more downside.

AUD/USD
The aussie has rallied up to the 1.0500s but it has reached resistance at that level from the down-sloping trend-line from the highs and has formed a small bearish head and shoulders pattern. It will probably correct back from its current level to support from the trend-line of the up-move at 1.0475, with the possibility of a move down to 1.0425 developing thereafter. An alternative, though less likely scenario is the continuation of the up-move to resistance at the 1.0600 – and then 1.0725 level thereafter.

Technical analysis 28th March 2012

USD/CHF: technical analysis
The swissie has continued falling as expected but has found substantial support at its current lows at 0.9015. There is a possibility it could continue to move even lower and reach 0.8940, the original target for the move off the March 15 highs, for the legs of the move to achieve equality. However, the current bullish correction looks like it could also be a basing pattern, which may break higher, with an upside target of 0.9085, at an old level of resistance.

AUD/USD: technical analysis
1.0360/50 support turned out to be a strong barrier and triggered a pullback up. The price tested a downtrend channel (blue) line and is now descending. Trading is currently carried out at 1.0410/20 level. Indicators seem to be weakening, most of them, however, still suggest a downtrend as a higher possibility. Earlier forecasts, expecting the next target to be found at 1.0220 support, have all chances to confirm, if the price breaches level 1.0360/50, which it's currently approaching. Growth above 1.0630/50 level and 1.0540/30 resistance breakout will, on the other hand, indicate a reversal up in a medium-term.

GBP/USD: technical analysis
Level 1.6000 turned out to be a strong resistance. The price pulled back down and is now testing 1.5900/10 support. Indicators are turning down, MACD divergence is forming, suggesting further decline. If confirms and the price breaches 1.5910/00 support and holds below, the next target will be found at 1.5760 support. If, on the other hand, the price fails to breach level 1.5910/00, trading will begin to move sideways, within 1.6000 – 1.5900/10 range.

EUR/USD: technical analysis
The EUR/USD pair is trading in a sideways range with a correction down within that range currently underway. This move may continue to the range lows at the 1.3315 support and resistance level. From there, there could be a bounce or a break down as the double top pattern translates into a reversal. If the current rally continues then a retouch of the 1.3380 highs is also possible.

Technical analysis 29th March 2012

USD/JPY
83.40/00 resistance prevented the price from retracing towards the uptrend channel (blue-dashed line). Trading pulled back down and is now carried out at 82.40/50 levels. Indicators suggest a selloff, which indicates that attempt to breach 82.50/60 support has been successful. была удачной. Further decline towards 80.60, or even to 79.90/80 level is possible. However, this decline should be still considered a correction within a medium-term "bullish" trend, which will recommence as soon as correction is over. The next targets for growth should be found at 84.80/90- 85.00 levels.

EUR/USD: breakdown possible
Eurodollar has currently fallen to trend-line support at 1.3280. My preference is for a break down through the trend-line to the next support level below at 1.3150, however if there is a substantial rebound then it will probably go to the 1.3325s.

GBP/USD
The price continued to decline and pushed the pair below 1.5900/10 level. Having tested 1.5830/40 support, the price retraced to 1.5900/10 level and is now testing it as a resistance. This level has been mentioned earlier as one of the key barriers on the way down, so, if trading holds below we'll be expecting another decline to 1.5760 support, and may be even lower, towards 1.5650/00 price range. Failure to go down below 1.5910/00 level and growth above 1.5940 will be a signal for further growth towards new local maximums.

Technical Analysis 2nd April 2012

EUR/USD
The EUR/USD pair has risen to the range highs at 1.3375 and is currently consolidating at that area with the possibility of a break higher - initially reaching the weekly pivot at 1.3422 and then perhaps the upper channel line at 1.3475, where the monthly pivot is situated too. However, given the divergence with momentum and the resistance highs my preference is for a fall back down to 1.3305 at the lower channel line of the rally.

GBP/USD: meeting resistance
The GBP/USD pair has broken above the 1.600 level and has rallied up to a resistance just above 1.6050 from the upper channel line of the rally which began on Mar 13. This should resist further gains and the exchange rate will probably fall from here to support from the lower line of the same channel at 1.5960 where the weekly pivot would also be expected to provide support as well.

USD/JPY: technical analysis
81.80/85 support held back the price from further decline and cancelled, may be just for a while, earlier forecasts, expecting further correction towards 80.60, 79.90/80 levels. The price recommenced its growth and, having reached 83.40 level is now declining. At the moment it resides at 82.80/90 level. Indicators have changed their reading and are now suggesting stronger bullish sentiment. Therefore, it's worth expecting current decline to halt at 82.50/60 support and growth to recommence. The first strong resistance on the way up will be found at 84.15/20 local maximum. At the same time, should the price breach 82.50/60 level, we'll be expecting stronger bearish sentiment and a possible reversal towards 81.80/90 level. In this case the price will be most likely moving sideways within 83.40 – 81.90/80 range with risks to fall towards the above mentioned 80.60, 79.90/80 targets.

Technical Analysis 3rd April 2012

GBP/JPY
The GBP/JPY is forming what looks like a triangle at the highs. The exchange rate has just been falling within this pattern. It has not quite reached the lower support line yet and, whilst it is possible it could simply reverse now and begin rising back up to the highs at 133.10 there is also a possibility that it could fall down to perhaps 130.60 where the S1 weekly pivot is. After that, however, it will probably begin rising back up to the top of the range again.

EUR/USD: downside possible
Eurodollar is still bumping up against the range highs and has formed what looks like a possible reversal pattern. It is probable that there will be break lower and a breach of the trend-line for the whole rally up from the 15th Mar lows. The monthly pivot at 1.3260 provides an initial target with 1.3205 as the next target after that.

GBP/USD
The uptrend channel (red) line held back the price. Having tested this barrier at 1.6060 level, trading pulled back down and is now carried out at 1.6020 levels. The price is moving sideways within 1.6060 - 1.6000/1.5990 range. Indicators are turning down, suggesting strengthening "bearish" sentiment, MACD divergence is also forming. Further range consolidation is likely to continue with a possible extension lower, to 1.5950/60 support. Reversal towards the uptrend channel sector will give reasons to consider growth towards 1.6090 - 1.6150 resistance range. Should the price breach a short-term trend line (blue line), we'll be expecting a decline to 1.5830/00 support.

AUD/USD
1.0360/50 support kept on holding back the price. "Bears" failed to breach this barrier - the price reached 1.0320/30 level and pulled back up. At the moment it resides at 1.0380/90 level and is about to make another attempt to test 1.0360/50 level. Indicators are neutral, but they seem to suggest a decline as a bigger possibility. Earlier forecasts, expecting the trades to move towards the next target at 1.0220 level are still relevant. 1.0360/50 support breakout will be a signal for that. Should the price, on the other hand, breach a downtrend channel (blue) line and hold above 1.0550/60 level, we'll be expecting a medium-term bullish trend to commence.

EUR/JPY
The euro-yen pair is trading in a range which may be a triangle or a topping pattern. It is currently at the range lows and where it has found support and it now seems probable that it could rally up to the consolidation highs at 111.00. Another possibility is that the pair will break down through the trend-line from the January lows and continue down in a bearish move to the 106.25s, the 100% extrapolation of the width of the range.

Technical Analysis 4th April 2012

GBP/USD: channel breakout
Cable has broken out of the channel it was rallying in and has fallen quite steeply. There are longer-term bearish indications and a hanging man candlestick on the weekly chart. Although the pair is currently pausing and may correct higher - targeting support and resistance at 1.5925 initially, it will probably continue falling thereafter and probably reach the 1.5810 level at first, which is the target generated by the channel breakout and the level of the 50-day MA.

USD/JPY
82.50/60 support breakout indicated strong bearish sentiment. The price dropped to 81.80/90 level, but failed to breach this barrier and bounced up. At the moment trading is carried out at 82.80/70 level. Indicators are neutral, moving horizontally, which makers market picture rather unclear. In this case it's worth expecting further sideways movement within 83.40 – 81.90/80 range with a possible decline towards 80.60, 79.90/80 targets. At the same time, growth has good chances to commence as well. Should the price breach 83.40 resistance, we'll be expecting a possible reversal towards the medium-term uptrend, which will commence when the price breach 84.20/30 resistance and hold above.

EUR/USD
Bearish sentiment dominated - the price breached 1.3290 support and declined. At the moment it's approaching 1.3120/40 support, mentioned earlier as the first target. Trading is carried out at 1.3180/90 level. Indicators suggest further downtrend, which gives reasons to anticipate the auxiliary trend line (blue-dashed line) to be tested anytime soon with deeper decline towards 1.3200 level. It's worth noting, that the price has good chances to fall down to 1.2970/80 level. To recommence their trend, the "bulls" will have to push the price above 1.3290/1.3300.

USD/CHF: rallying
The swissie has formed a bottom and is starting to rise. It has just broken above key resistance at the 0.9125 level from the weekly R2 and monthly pivot and this is a strong bullish sign. The larger wave patterns also show the possibility of the start of a new sequence higher after the correction finished the preceding major cycle at the end of February. The current rally could be the elliot wave 3 of the new move higher and it will probably reach at least to the 0.9385 support and resistance level, although a more conservative target might be 0.9240.

Technical Analysis 10th April 2012

GBP/USD
"Bullish" attempt to push the price up halted at 1.5930 level. Trading is currently carried out at 1.5860/70. 1.5830/40 support keeps on holding back the "bears". Indicators suggest dominating bearish sentiment, R% turned down, saying in favor of this scenario. Therefore it's worth expecting a decline towards the auxiliary trend line (blue dashed line) around 1.5760/70 price range. Dissension towards 1.5650/40 – 1.5600 supports is also a possibility. Should the price retrace up and hold above 1.6000 level, sentiment will change towards the "bullish".

AUD/USD
The price failed to decline towards 1.0220/30 target, mentioned in the previous comments, and consolidated slightly above, suggesting to anticipate volatility. Trading is currently carried out at 1.0290 level. Indicators are "bearish", which gives enough reasons to expect further decline, may be even towards 1.0140/30/50 supports. 1.0220/30 level breakout will be a sign of a strong "bearish" potential. Should the price, on the other hand, escape from a downtrend channel (blue lines) and breach 1.0440/50 resistance, we'll be expecting a reversal up and strengthening bullish sentiment.

EUR/USD
The price kept on consolidating within narrow ranges. Forecasts confirmed - the "bulls" attempted to test the auxiliary trend line (blue dashed line) as a resistance, but failed - trading reversed down and is now carried out at 1.3100/10. Indicators are mostly "bearish", which gives reasons to expect further dowtrend and another decline towards earlier mentioned 1.2970/80 support range and then lower, to 1.2870/80 and 1.2750 levels. If the price retraces towards the uptrend channel sector and holds above 1.3170/80 level, we'll be expecting the change of market sentinent. Growth above 1.3290/1.3300 level will be the final signal for reversal up.

Technical analysis 11th April 2012

Technical Analysis 11th April 2012

GBP/USD
Level 1.5930 became a resistance for the sideways range. Having made another attempt to breach this level, trading is now retracing back down. At the moment it's being carried out at 1.5890/80 levels. Indicators are still "bearish", but they seem to be weakening. However, we still expect a decline towards the auxiliary trend line (blue dashed line) and then towards 1.5760/70, 1.5650/40 – 1.5600 levels. Reversal up and fixation above 1.6000 will, on the other hand, indicate a reversal up.

USD/CHF: rebound likely
The swissie is moving sideways with a slight downside bias. It pulled back from resistance from the upper channel-line at the 0.9200 highs and has since dropped to support at the lower channel- line or floor of the consolidation at 0.9130. This level is further reinforced by support from the 200-4hr MA and the 50-1hr MAs as well as the weekly pivot at 0.9127. Therefore I’d expect it to probably reverse and rise from here to re-touch the 0.9200 highs again, although a breakdown is still a slight possibility with the support at 0.9090 eyed initially, followed by 0.9059.

USD/JPY
The price breached downtrend channel's support (blue lines), which indicated further "bearish" scenario. Trading descended to 80.60/50 level, where it's still carried out. Indicators suggest another decline, which gives reasons to anticipate a plunge to the next target at 79.90/80 support, mentioned earlier. However, the price has all chances to reverse up from this barrier on the way down and recommence its bullish trend. Growth above 83.40 resistance will be a sign for reversal up. At the same time, the price can rise from the current local minimums too - 80.50/60 level is a strong support at the moment.

EUR/USD
This pair is trading in a range between 1.3150 and 1.3040 and this could continue for a little longer. There is substantial support and resistance at the range lows; momentum is strong on the recent fall and there is the possibility of a breakout from the range to the downside, with an eventual target at 1.2835 initially and then the former 1.2640 lows. A rebound higher, however, cannot be discounted, with the range highs at 1.3300 providing an upside target.

Technical analysis 12th April 2012

EUR/USD
The pair's picture hasn't changed significantly - trading is now carried out within earlier formed range at 1.3120/30 level. Indicators are neutral, suggesting further sideways movement. However, SS attempt to escape oversold zone gives reasons to be cautious and consider a possible change of market sentiment towards "bullish". Downtrend is still dominating at the moment, so we expect further decline and 1.2970/80 support and then to 1.2870/80, 1.2750 levels anytime soon. Should the price rise and hold above 1.3290/1.3300 level, it'll indicate a reversal up in a medium term.

USD/JPY
The move down in the USD/JPY reached support at Wednesday's lows and then bounced. Now the bounce has stalled at the lower channel line and the the 38.2% fibonacci line. Normally, given the overhead resistance and the bearish bias I would expect more downside, however, the combination of support just under at 80.80 – from both the weekly and the monthly pivots stand in the way of a deeper sell-off. If the move higher continues and breaks back into the channel then 82.00 is targeted. Overall, however, my preference leans slightly to a continuation lower down to the 50% fibonacci at 80.05.

AUD/USD
The aussie has risen strongly and just broken above the upper channel line of the move down from the February highs. It’s too early to say whether the break will hold and lead to some upside follow-through, but if it does then it would target a cluster of resistance at 1.0500. Normally I’d be quite bullish given the strong upward momentum, however, in addition to the upper channel line there is also the 100 and 200 day MA’s resisting as well, and the possibility of a reversal back down into the channel cannot be discounted given the long series of down-days so far. In this scenario the downside target would be the former lows at 1.0225.

Technical analysis 13th April 2012

EUR/USD: downmove expected
The eurodollar has started falling after hitting resistance at around the 1.3210 level, made up of several major MA's as well as a weekly pivot. This has led to a corrective move down. It is possible we are witnessing a resumption of the down-trend off the April highs, which could be an Elliot 5th wave, targeting the old lows. RSI has also just given a sell signal, and it is probable that the pair will now fall with major support at 1.3103 where the S1 monthly pivot is. There may be a recovery at that level, although eventually it will probably resume the down-trend to the old lows at 1.3035.

EUR/JPY: wave 5
The EUR/JPY pair has started to fall after touching resistance from the 50-day MA at the 107.15 level. This is probably a 5th Elliot wave of the move down from the March highs and it will probably fall to re-touch the lows at 105.45. After that a deeper break could occur if the head and shoulders pattern on the daily charts breaks its neckline and falls, with 101.75 targeted initially and possibly even 99.75 longer-term.

AUD/USD: uptrend resumes
The aussie has fallen back to support from the channel which it recently broke out of and has posted a hammer candle-stick signalling a resumption of upside. It will now probably rise back up to retouch the recent 1.0450 highs, possibly in an Elliot wave 5 of the move. There may be further follow through higher too - to resistance from the monthly pivot in the 1.0500 area, which is also the objective for the channel break out and a Fibonacci level.

GBP/USD
The price breached 1.5930\50 resistancem but the "bulls" managed to push the trades only up to 1.5980/90 level, wherefrom the price recommenced its decline. Tarding is currently carried out at 1.5920/30 levels. Indicators are unclear and the situation is now uncertain. As there have been no signs of a possible reversal up, it's worth expecting further decline to 1.5810/20 and then to 1.5760/70 level. If the price recommences its growth, breaches and holds above 1.6000 resistance, which is now considered to be the key barrier on the way up, market sentiment will turn "bullish".

Technical analysis 16th April 2012

EUR/USD: bearish outlook
Eurodollar fell on Friday in an Elliot wave 5 down as anticipated. There is a possibility it has found support at the lows and is in the process of mounting a recovery. A correction now could see it bounce back to resistance from MA's and pivots clustered around 1.3105. My slight preference, however, is for a continuation lower to the next target down at the weekly pivot at 1.2926, which would fulfil the target of the measuring gap created last night.

USD/JPY
The pair is making another attempt to test 80.50/60 support. Trading is carried out around these levels. "Bearish" potential is strong enough, which gives reasons to anticipate another decline to 79.90/80 support. On the other hand, MACD divergence suggests being cautious - not only a pullback up within the uptrend is possible, but also a reversal towards the medium term uptrend. Growth above 81.90/80 resistance will be a signal for big changes in the market sentiment.

USD/CHF: meeting resistance
The swissie has reached a tough resistance level which may prove a barrier to further progress given includes the weekly and monthly R1 pivots and the 100 day-MA. The pair is already beginning to pull-back and despite a strong rally so far , I see the possibility of a major correction from here to perhaps 0.9110 lows. However there is still a slight chance – given the strength of the uptrend - that there could be a breakout higher, with a target at 0.9315 where the move from 3rd of April achieves wave equality.

GBP/USD
Market picture has changed - the price descended to 1.5810/20 support and is now making attempts to test it. The barrier is strong, especially now that it matches with the auxiliary trend line (blue dashed line), so current decline may halt for a while. Indicators have turned more bearish, which might be a sign of further decline. Should the price breach currently tested level, we'll be expecting another dissension towards the next target at 1.5760/70 level, mentioned earlier, which will be a signal for further sell off, so the price may reach 1.5710 level and then proceed towards 1.5650/00 support range. Should the price rise and hold above 1.6000 level, we'll be expecting a medium-term reversal up.

Technical analysis 17th April 2012

EUR/USD: correction maturing
A classic A-B-C correction is under-way following the completion of an Elliot wave down which started at the late March highs. Waves A and B appear to have completed and C may end at 1.3240 where it would achieve wave equality with A and touch the monthly pivot. It is also possible it may fall short and another target for the end of the rally is at the old highs of 1.3212. Once complete the down-trend will probably resume with the next cycle probably making new lows below 1.2994.

EUR/JPY: downside possible
This pair has found resistance at the highs from moving averages and the weekly pivot after correcting the previous strong move down. It has taken the form of an A-B-C three wave correction with wave C currently reaching just shy of wave equality with A at 106.45. The move will probably roll-over and the down-trend resume. Downside targets include the former lows initially at around 104.85 and then 100-day MA at 104.10. If there is a continuation higher, however, then 106.95 could form the next upside target although eventually downside should predominate.

GBP/USD
1.5810/20 support (secondary trend line) proved its strength and held back all bearish attacks. Trading climbed towards 1.5930/20 resistance, which, if breached, will indicate the change of sentiment in the market. Indicators are turning, giving even more reasons to be cautious. SS in turned down, slightly calming down rising concerns. As long as level 1.6000 is safe, bearish sentiment should be considered dominating - new local minimums at 1.5760/70, 1.5710 levels and 1.5650/00 support range are likely to be tested
anytime soon.

USD/JPY
The price continued its attempts to breach and hold below 80.50/60 support. Having reached 80.30 level, trading is now pulling back up and being carried out at 80.70/80 level. However, the fact that SS is being oversold suggests to consider current growth to be another correction and a downtrend may recommence anytime soon. Earlier forecasts are still relevant - final ascension towards 79.90/80 support should commence, then a medium downtrend should begin. Growth above 81.90/80 resistance will be a signal for serious changes in market sentiment.

Technical analysis 18th April 2012

EUR/USD: correction unfolds
The eurodollar pair completed its upside correction and then began falling as expected. At the same time a head and shoulders pattern broke its neckline and the exchange rate also pierced through major support at 1.3105. It will probably move down to reach the H&S target at 1.3040, however after that there is the possibility of a bounce as downside has been a little weak so far and it is possible the new cycle lower hasn't begun yet. There may be another correction first, with perhaps 1.3185 targeted or even 1.3212.

USD/JPY
"Bears" failed to push the trades down below 80.35 level, the price continued its growth and now resides at 81.50/60 level. Looks like MACD divergence has realized and indicators have turned up, suggesting further ascension. However, until the price breaches 81.80/90 resistance, trading has all chances to recommence a decline any time. Therefore, it's worth expecting another attempt to breach 79.90/80 resistance. Growth above 81.90/80 resistance will be a signal to expect medium-term growth.

EUR/GBP: bearish breakout
The EUR/GBP pair has made a sudden break lower, out of the channel it was moving down within, yielding a downside target of 0.8068, using the width as a guide. This happens to be only 2 pips above the July 2010 major lows at 0.8066 and indicates the possibility the lows could be reached. Currently it appears to be putting in a dragon-fly doji on the 4-hr chart at the S3 weekly pivot and there is the possibility of a base forming and a temporary bounce to resistance at 0.8200. After that I see a strong possibility of a resumption of the fall with the 0.8068 level targeted eventually, although the monthly pivot at 0.8125 could also be reached.

GBP/USD
1.5930/20 resistance, mentioned earlier as one of the key resistances, indicating a reversal, was breached, but trading retraced below this level, so the breakout has to be now considered false. However, the price can make another attempt to recommence growth too, so the situation is rather uncertain. Should the price hold above 1.5930 level, trading will turn up and the price will ascend to 1.6000 level. Reversal down, below 1.5870 level will indicate bearish potential and, therefore, suggest further decline towards new local minimums at 1.5760/70, 1.5710 and 1.5650/00 levels in the near future. 1.6000 level breakout will be a signal for reversal up in a medium-term.

Technical analysis 19th April 2012

EUR/USD: correction completing
The EUR/USD pair has continued to consolidate. It is possible that it is near to completing a double zigzag at the current highs, which started on the 16th – as labelled on the chart below. There is a possibility that it could go a little higher to the monthly pivot at 1.3185 where waves A and C would achieve equality – or even 1.3212 if C is longer. After that there is a strong possibility of the next cycle starting and reaching below the 1.2994 lows. The double correction may extend to a triple too but not beyond. The new impulse down will probably be characterised by its unusual strength.

GBP/USD
Earlier forecast, expecting possible growth, confirmed. The price breached 1.5930/20 resistance and then level 1.6000, mentioned earlier as the key barriers for reversal up. The price is now testing the next resistance at 1.6060 resistance. Indicators are turned up, suggesting further growth. However, currently tested level is just the first bound of 1.6060-16090/1.6100 resistance range, so the bulls have a long way to go. Should the price breach this barrier on the way up, it will proceed towards the next strong resistance at 1.6160/70 level, which has already held back the bulls once, in October 2011. In case the price fails to ascend further, it'll most likely correct towards 1.6000 support. If the expected pullback continues below 1.5960/50 level, we'll be expecting a reversal down.

EUR/JPY: meeting resistance
The potential for a roll-over at this level is quite high. The weekly and monthly pivots are both in the 106.90s and a on the 4-hr chart a 2- bar reversal is forming which also has bearish connotations. RSI is showing divergence at its peaks and MACD is looking overextended. The pair could fall to 106.20 where it will meet support from moving averages on several time frames and then 105.75. It is also possible a new Elliot wave cycle could be about to begin which will eventually take the rate below the 104.60 lows.

Technical analysis 20th April 2012

EUR/USD: downside possible
Eurodollar could be at important turning point. The correction which began at the lows of the 16th has probably run its course and the larger down-trend may resume quite soon. From an Elliot wave perspective we have probably reached the final zig-zag in a rare triple correction, and this final wave may be ending now at the 1.3180 highs. If there is a move down it will be most tested at the thick layer of resistance at around the 1.3105 level where it could consolidate. This will need to be broken for the move to gain traction but it will probably eventually fall below the 1.2994 lows as the next cycle down unfolds.

GBP/USD
1.6060-1.6090 resistance range held back further ascension like expected. While correcting, the price declined to 1.6000, but then retraced back up and breached 1.6060-1.6090 barrier. At the moment the "bulls" are attempting to hold above, trading is carried out at 1.6100/10 level. Indicators are now "bullish", which gives reasons to expect growth to the next strong resistance at 1.6160/70 level, which has already halted the uptrend at the end of 2011. However, a cluster of resistances above 1.6100 level may hold back ascension. Reversal towards 1.6000 level will trigger doubts of the bullish strength, decline below 1.5960/50 will be a signal for reversal.

AUD/USD
The aussie corrected back to the 1.0345s as predicted. The strength of the earlier rally seems to indicate the possibility of a resumption of the previous up-move, with a target from the channel at 1.0485 and another target at 1.0525 which would give wave equality from the lows of the 11th. The other possibility – which is my preference - is that the current bear move is an Elliot 5th wave from the February highs and will continue lower and reach the former lows at 1.0238. The strong clusters of resistance lying just above the current price action also support this more bearish forecast.

Technical analysis 24th April 2012

AUD/USD
Strong 1.0300/10 support held back the "bears" for a while, but then the price continued its decline and tested earlier breached downtrend (blue) line around 1.0260/50 levels. Then trading pulled back up and is now carried out at 1.0290/80 level. Indicators are bearish, suggesting further possible decline. However, strong supports at current levels give reasons to be cautious about further dissension - the barrier on the way down is strong enough, so correction within 1.0360-1.0160/50 range is also quite a possibility. Decline below 1.0220/30 local minimum will indicate the bearish strength and give reasons to expect a plunge to 1.040/30 level. Growth above 1.0360 will, on the other hand, suggest a possible reversal towards the bullish trend in a medium term.

GBP/USD
1.6060/50 support held back the "bearish" attacks and prevented the price from holding below. Trading recommenced growth and is now carried out at 1.6150/40 level, which means that the price has approached 1.6160/70 level, mentioned earlier as the target for growth. Indicators have turned more bullish, suggesting further growth. Only MACD divergence suggests a possible pullback, which gives reasons to anticipate a large scale correction from 1.6170/60 resistance. Decline below 1.6120 level will be the first signal for changes, 1.6090/80 support breakout will be the final indication of the upcoming pullback down. If, however, the price breaches 1.6170/60 resistance the bulls will have good chances to test 1.6300 level.

EUR/JPY
The euro-yen pair has consolidated in a sideways range since falling to the 106.30 lows on Monday. It will probably resume its bearish move lower soon with a downside target of 105.60 at the level of the 200-day MA and the weekly pivot. There is less chance it will go higher as the monthly pivot is capping gains at 106.92, however, a move higher might be expected to match the previous highs at 107.99 before extending to satisfy wave equality at 109.70.

EUR/USD: downmove expected
Eurodollar has risen from the 1.3100 lows and now reached the 1.3170s. There is the possibility of some more upside to just shy of 1.3200 which would result in wave equality, but there are lots of bearish signals too. We are at the 61.8% fibonacci retracement of the previous down-move and an obvious place for the rally to stall; there is a shooting star on the hourly and we have reached the 50-day MA, as well as the 200-4hr. It is quite possible the move has completed and the new Elliot wave down will resume. This in turn would be expected to break below support at the 1.3100 lows.
