Brent Crude Oil: long downward correction

Current trend

Crude oil price still consolidates within a narrow side channel, as the US dollar tendency is still unclear, and also because there is contrast of growing oil reserves in USA and reducing oil reserves in OPEC and major oil exporters. Technically, the price the pair reached the upper border of the upward channel, but it can't break the resistance, lacking catalyzing factors. Consolidation channel is narrowing, and a breakout is highly possible; all we have to do now is determining its direction. Let's consider all pros and contra and decide on the chances of these situations actually happening. At the moment, demand for US dollar is supported only by FRS statements of USA economy having strong perspectives and willingness to hike the rate soon, but economic indicators state the opposite. This means that USA macroeconomic data can influence the dollar price and, accordingly, crude oil prices. This week, attention should be paid to job market data, Markit Services PMI and of course Weekly Crude Oil Stock data.

According to US Department of Energy, oil reserves continue to grow, which surely will influence the price. On the other hand, OPEC and major oil exporters dispel all doubts following the agreement to put freeze on crude oil stocks, and they even cut them. OPEC state that the agreement is very effective for stabilizing the global crude oil market. This agreement keeps the oil price at current high level. But we shouldn't expect fast growth: any violation of agreement or US key interest rate growing, and we'll see the oil quotes falling. This means that price is unlikely to decrease.

Support and resistance
Disregarding the upward trend, long downward correction is highly probable. In short term, short positions could be opened with targets depending on the dynamics: 45.40 if the market is highly volatile, and 47.70 if the market is tranquil. Technically, indicators don't give a clear signal due to low liquidity.

Support levels: 54.70, 53.75, 53.10, 51.95, 49.50, 57.70, 45.40.
Resistance levels: 56.75, 58.50, 60.00, 61.95.

Trading tips
In this situation, short positions could be opened at current level, with short Stop Loss order at 59.20 (above the upper border of the range) — and with targets at 45.40, 47.70.

NZD/USD: New Zealand dollar under pressure

Current trend

During this week, the pair was decreasing and currently reached its 2-month minimum at the level of 0.7100. Today, the pair is under pressure of the statements of the FOMC’s John Williams and William Dudley. Williams, FRB San Francisco President, stated that at FOMC should pay due attention to increasing the rate at the session in March. Dudley, Head of FRB New York, stated during his interview to CNN that the chances to increase the rates are much higher now. On the other hand, RBNZ President Graeme Wheeler contributed to weakening of the NZ dollar. During his speech in Auckland, he stated that, despite the national economy growth, it's too early to discuss raising interest rates above the current level of 2.0%, and more than that, another decrease might happen. Main domestic risks result from housing market instability, foreign risks result from a possibility of American administration implementing protectionist measures which may as well affect New Zealand.

Support and resistance

Technically, the pair is testing the key level of 0.7100 (Fibonacci retracements — 38.2%), and if it breaks through, it will decrease further to the level of 0.7000 (Fibonacci retracements — 23.6%) and to 0.6900. Indicators agree with this: Bollinger Bands and Stochastics are pointing downwards, MACD histogram went to negative zone. Turning upwards is possible if the price consolidates above 0.7175 (50.0% correction) and middle line of Bollinger Bands. The increase may continue to 0.7245 (61.8% Fibonacci retracements) and 0.7340 (76.4% Fibonacci retracements).

Support levels: 0.7100, 0.7000, 0.6900.
Resistance levels: 0.7175, 0.7245, 0.7340.

Trading tips

In this situation, short positions can be opened if the price consolidates below 0.7100 with take-profits at 0.7000, 0.6900 and Stop loss order at 0.7130. If the price consolidates above 0.7175 and the middle line of Bollinger Bands, long positions could be opened with take-profits at 0.7245, 0.7340 and Stop loss order at 0.7140.

EUR/USD: general review

Current trend

The EUR/USD pair is corrected after decreasing to 1.0493 as USD gains ground. The main event which will set the further rate dynamics is speeches of US FOMC's members, including Janet Yellen. It is possible that rate correction will continue while the market is waiting for the speeches.  Hawkish comments can lead to another wave of buying the dollar and, consecutively, decrease EUR/USD rate. In addition to FOMC members' speeches, traders will pay attention to Markit PMI data for USA due at 16:00 GMT+2.

Support and resistance

On the 4-hour chart, technical indicators show that the rate is still being corrected. Bollinger Bands are narrowing. MACD histogram is in positive zone, its volume is gradually decreasing, signalling that correction is still going on. If the price consolidates above the upper border of Bollinger Bands (1.0540), this will mean that the upward trend is forming. If the price does not break out the level of 1.0540, the reversal and another testing of 1.0493 is possible.
Support levels: 1.0493, 1.0452, 1.0392.
Resistance levels: 1.0569, 1.0630, 1.0677.

Trading tips

Buy positions may be opened above 1.0569 with Take Profit orders at 1.0630 and stop-loss at 1.0545. Breakdown of the level of 1.0630 will open a way to 1.0453 for the pair.
Sell positions would become relevant below 1.0493 with Take Profit orders at 1.0452, 1.0392 and stop-loss at 1.0523.

AUD/USD: general analysis

Current trend

As a typical commodity currency, the Australian Dollar was falling against the US Dollar all last week. On Friday, however, following oil and precious metals, it recovered part of the losses and returned to a strong resistance level of 0.7600.
This week investors’ attention is going to be focused on the RBA decision on interest rates that is due to be released on Tuesday. Amid a substantial reduction in the Australian Trade Balance, which was mainly the result of the unfavourable for the export-oriented Australian economy strengthening in the national currency, and negative data on inflation that came out today the regulator, most likely, will keep the interest rate unchanged in order to weaken the AUD. Before the decision is published, however, the pair is likely to continue its upward correction.
Today attention should be paid to data on Factory Orders from the US.

Support and resistance

Support levels: 0.7600, 0.7540, 0.7490, 0.7420.
Resistance levels: 0.7660, 0.7780, 0.7800, 0.7830.

Trading tips

Long positions can be opened from current prices with targets at 0.7660, 0.7780 and stop-loss at 0.7520.
Short positions can be opened from the level of 0.7660 with targets at 0.7600, 0.7540 and stop-loss at 0.7700.

WTI Crude Oil: general review

Current trend

During today's trading session, WTI Crude Oil price is under pressure, quotes went down to 52.70. The catalysts for the current market situation are expecting oil reserves growth in USA, and also global supply redistribution — despite all attempts by OPEC countries and some other market participants outside the cartel to decrease oil extraction.

China's customs report data showed that demand for carbohydrates is still high in this country. On February, crude oil import set a new record. Daily demand by Chinese consumers is 8.286 million barrels, which is by 3.5% higher than in the last year.

However, this data didn't cause further growth, as American Petroleum Institute report was published yesterday at the end of the day. From this report it is clearly seen that last week, the oil reserves grew by 11.6 million barrels, which is five times higher than expected.

Energy Information Administration's weekly US crude oil reserves data will be released today. According to the forecasts, the reserves will grow by 1.660 million barrels. Judging by Tuesday's data, the indicator can exceed the expectations significantly. In this case, USCrude price is going to decrease.

Support and resistance

On the daily chart of the instrument, we can see strong resistance level of 52.70. The MACD histogram is near zero line and its volume is decreasing, Stochastic is pointing downwards, which gives a buy signal.

Resistance levels: 54.50, 55.70, 57.50.
Support levels: 52.70, 51.30, 50.00.

Trading tips

Short positions could be opened at current level with take-profits at 51.30 and Stop Loss order at 53.20.
Buy positions may be opened after price consolidates above 54.50 with targets at 55.70 and stop-loss at 54.00.

XAU/USD: general review

Current trend

Gold quotes are growing after lingering downward trend caused by strengthening of US dollar. On Friday, US dollar was under pressure of weak data on average earnings in USA. According to the data published, the indicator grew by 0.2%, though analytics expected it to grow by 0.3%.

Investors focused their attention on weak earnings growth and started locking in the profits for dollar positions. As a result, gold rate grew by 0.33%. Gold quotes grew by 0.20% more within today's trading session.

FDAX: Fibonacci analysis

Growth recovery to 12008.0 is expected

On the 4-hour chart the price broke down through the level of 11904.5 (correction by 38.2%) but stopped on the 50% line of the ascending fan. This indicates the possibility of a turn to 12008.0 (correction by 23.6%, middle line of Bollinger Bands) and 12136.0 (the area of March maximums). The possibility of growth is confirmed by Stochastic that is about to leave the oversold zone and to form a buying signal, and by Fibonacci summation series, according to which the fall has been going on for five days. To continue the fall, the price needs to consolidate below 50.0% fan line. In this case the targets of the "bears" will be 11820.0 (correction by 50.0%) and 11737.0 (correction by 61.8%).

The price has been growing on D1 chart for over 90 days, and according Fibonacci summation series may continue to do so. Currently the price has corrected from March maximums to the lower line of Bollinger Bands (12820.0) and may regain growth to 12973.5. In case the price consolidates below it, it may continue decreasing to the levels of 11636.5 (23.6% correction for long-term trend; 76,4% correction for middle-term trend) and 11136.5 (correction 38.2%).

Trading tips

Long positions may be open if the price consolidates over 11904.5 with targets at 12008.0 and 12136.0. Stop-loss order should be placed at 11873.0.

Alternative scenario

Alternatively, if the price consolidates below 50.0% fan line, selling positions may be opened at the level of 11863.0 with targets at 11820.0, 11365.0 and stop-loss at 11890.0.

The traders’ activity lowered in expectation of the Head of the FRS Janet Yellen Speech today (14:45 GMT+2). The investors are waiting for the signals about the interest rate rise. If Janet Yellen implies the possibility of the rise on the June meeting, the USD will be significantly supported in the short term, which leads to the lowering the metal prices to the level of 1240.37 and lower.

Re: Forex Analysis by LiteForex

NQ: general analysis

Current trend

In the opening trading session the US indices restores the losses: after reaching the minimum at the level of 5314.3 Nasdaq was corrected and now is trading at the level of 5332.1. The next target is at the 3/8 Murray or 5341.9.

The lowering was due to the cancelling of the health care reformation voting in the USA Congress. The Republicans didn’t come to the agreement upon the necessity of the reformation and postponed the voting for the indefinite period. A lot of investors were disappointed and began to doubt if Trump can provide the actions that he promised during the Evections and get the support of the Congress. On the other hand the USA can partially benefit from the lowering of the USD, as the US goods will become more competitive in the worlds markets, which is quite difficult to imply due to the tightening of the monetary policy.
This week the USA GDP data, which is to be published on Thursday, are worth traders’ attention. The index is expected to be 2%.
On the technical picture the Stochastic is above the level of 20 and reflects the growth of the index.

Support and resistance

Resistance levels: 5341.9.
Support levels: 5314.3.

Trading scenario

Open long positions at the current price with stop loss at 5314.3 and the target at 5341.9.

Re: Forex Analysis by LiteForex

SPX: Fibonacci analysis

The new lowering to the levels of the March minima is possible.

On the 4-hour chart the price rebounded from the level of the minima of the last two months and tried to be corrected to the middle line of the Bollinger Bands indicator (2342.5). The further movement is unlikely, as the pair should pass the downward fan. The key “bullish” level is at 2350.0 (correction 38.2%), in case of the breakout here the price can grow to the level of 2359.5 (correction 50.0%) and 2369.0 (correction 61.8%). The new lowering to the area of the levels of 2323.0 and 2319.5 (the March minima) seems more likely to develop. However in this case the price should be set below the middle line of the Bollinger Bands and the level of 2338.5 (correction 23.6%). The Stochastic is reversing in the overbought area, which confirms the possibility of the lowering.

On the daily chart the price rebounded from the level of 2318.0 (correction 23.6%) and now is moving to the area of the middle line of the Bollinger Bands (2365.5). The Stochastic has reversed upwards, which confirms the forecast. However the possibility of the lowering is not excluded, as the sequence confirms it. The first target of the movement will be the level of 2318.0 (correction 23.6%), which has been tested before.

Trading scenario

The short positions seems more preferable, but open ones if the price is set below the level of 2338.5 with the target at 2326.0, 2319.5. Stop loss is at 2343.0.

Alternative scenario

Open long positions if the price is set above the level of 2350.0 with the target at 2365.5, 2369.0 and stop loss at 2346.0.

AUD/USD: general analysis

Current trend

During the last 3 day the AUD/USD pair is growing despite the strengthening of the USD due to the positive commentaries of the USA FRS members Janet Yellen, Steven Kaplan, John Williams and Charles Evans.

However the pair was supported by the RBA Assist Gov Debelle Speech and the HIA New Home Sales data, so the AUD grew faster than the USD.

XAG/USD: general review

Current trend

After active growth during the week silver was corrected yesterday. The price returned to the level of 18.10 that had been successfully broken through a day earlier. The fall happened in view of strengthening of US dollar supported by positive GDP data and statements of FOMC representatives John Williams and Robert Kaplan. It seems  that the negative correlation between US dollar and precious metals started to work again after not so logical dynamics that has been observed from the end of the previous week.

Today the market is waiting for important US releases, namely personal income and expenses data at 14:30 (GMT+2) with a negative outlook, PMI Business Activity Index Chicago at 15:30 (GMT+2) also with a negative forecast, and Consumer Confidence data by the University of Michigan at 16:00 (GMT+2) with a neutral outlook.
Silver is likely to be corrected on the last trading day of the week and month.

Support and resistance

Support levels: 16.70, 17.05, 17.40, 17.75.
Resistance levels: 18.10, 18.45, 19.00.

Trading tips

Short positions may be opened at market price with targets at 17.75 and stop-loss at 18.40.
Alternatively, one may consider buying if the price consolidates above 18.10 with targets at 18.45 and stop-loss at 17.90.

Re: Forex Analysis by LiteForex

USD/JPY: general review

Current trend

Last week the dynamics of the pair was mainly determined by US dollar. The growth of USD was influenced rather by the rhetorics of FOMC members than be actual fundamental values. As a result, the pair USD/JPY reached the zone of 112.00-112.10. However, it did not manage to break through this level and fell on Friday and Monday despite the growth of USD index. The strengthening of yen was caused by positive data of Japanese labour market and manufacturing industry published on Friday and Tankan Services PMI released yesterday.

No important releases from Japan are due today. US releases today include the data on trading balance at 14:30 (GMT+2) (a positive outlook with reduced deficiency) and manufacturing orders at 16:00 (GMT+2) (negative forecast), and at 22:30 (GMT+2) a statement by FOMC representative Daniel Tarullo.

Due to the absence of important publications from Japan and their small number from the USA, and also in view of the statement of Bank of Japan head Haruhiko Kuroda and publication of the minutes of a meeting of FOMC Open Markets Committee, the pair is likely to have steady dynamics within the range between 110.00-110.50 and 112.00.

Support and resistance

Support levels: 109.25, 107.50, 105.50.
Resistance levels: 109.25, 107.50, 105.50.

Trading tips

Long positions may be opened if the price moves from the level of 110.60 with targets at 112.40 and stop-loss at 109.70.
Alternatively, sell positions may be opened if the price consolidates below 110.60 with targets at 109.25 and stop-loss at 111.40.

As the result, the pair fell to a strong support level – the lower border of the previous channel.
