Technical analysis of ETH/USD for 28.05.2019

https://forex-images.ifxdb.com/userfiles/20190528/analytics5cecc639d4449.jpg

Crypto Industry News:

One of the largest peer-to-peer cryptocurrencies, LocalBitcoins.com, has banned users living in Iran, according to information published on the company's website.

The source previously informed the financial media in an e-mail that the impulse to limit Iranian transactions was to comply with financial regulations in Finland, where the headquarters of LocalBitcoins.com is located. In addition, the stock exchanges allegedly cut off users from Iran because of sanctions previously imposed on other exchanges by the United States.

Coinbase and Binance cryptocurrency exchanges do not currently support users residing in Iran as well.

Technical Market Overview:

The ETH/USD pair might have completed wave (4) and now the market is unfolding the wave (5) to the upside, but the momentum behind the move up is still low. The target for this wave is seen at the level of $304. For now, the market is consolidating the recent gains in a narrow range between the levels of $278.14 - $263.42 as the market participants wait for the breakout.

Weekly Pivot Points:
WR3 - $321.20
WR2 - $292.77
WR1 - $283.99
Weekly Pivot - $254.33
WS1 - $241.65
WS2 - $213.82
WS3 - $203.55

Trading Recommendations:
The best trading strategy in the current market conditions is to buy the local pull-back as wave 4 is in progress in anticipation of the wave 5 to the upside. Please pay attention to the technical resistance at the level of $278.14 as any breakout above this level is bullish. On the other hand, any violation of the level of $226.17 will accelerate the sell-off towards the next technical support at the level of $212.12.

Re: InstaForex Analysis

Another failed attempt of the Dollar index capture the 98 price level.

The Dollar index ended last week on a mixed to bearish note as price recaptured the critical resistance at the 98 price level only to lose it with a big decline on the last trading day of the week.

Red rectangle - major resistance
Green rectangle - major support

The Dollar index made new highs on May 23rd but price reversed and did not close above 98. On May 29th and 30th we saw new higher highs but on a closing basis above the major resistance area depicted with a red rectangle. However on the last trading day we saw another reversal. The inability to break above 98 and stay above it, is a worrying sign for bulls. However as long as price is trading above the green rectangle, bulls remain in control of the trend. The many failed attempts point to a bigger reversal in trend, taking into consideration how much time has the index around 98 which is the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the entire decline from 103.75 to 88.

Technical analysis of Bitcoin for 04.06.2019

https://forex-images.ifxdb.com/userfiles/20190604/analytics5cf5f780e4cc6.jpg

Crypto Industry News:
The Japan House of Representatives officially approved a new bill to amend national laws regulating the cryptographic industry.

The draft law - prepared by the Japanese Financial Services Agency (FSA) and approved by the House in mid-March this year - was adopted by a majority of votes at the plenary session of the Chamber of Councilors, in accordance with the current update of the FSA on the official website.

The project is aimed at introducing changes to two national laws regarding cryptographic assets - the act on the settlement of funds and the law on financial instruments and exchange. Now that the bill has been adopted, the amended acts are expected to enter into force in April 2020.

The proposed changes to Japanese financial instruments and payment services will ostentatiously tighten the regulation of cryptocurrencies to promote user protection, more stringent regulation of trading in cryptographic instruments, mitigate industry risks, such as stock market busts, and the broad establishment of a more transparent legal framework for new asset classes.

According to earlier reports, the bill also introduces a legal change in the name of cryptocurrencies as "cryptographic assets", previously marked in the country as "virtual currencies". The draft also provides for stricter rules regarding trading in margins, limiting the leverage to double and four times the initial deposit.

Technical Market Overview:
The BTC/USD pair has made another wave to the downside as anticipated. This wave is a part of the wave 4 correction and so far reached the level of $7,739 after all the technical supports were violated. The next target for bulls is seen at the level of $7,484. This corrective cycle might evolve into an ABCDE Triangle pattern as well, so please keep an eye on the further developments.

Weekly Pivot Points:
WR3 - $10,284
WR2 - $9,622
WR1 - $9,121
Weekly Pivot - $8.545
WS1 - $8,037
WS2 - $7,438
WS3 - $6,960

Trading Recommendations:
The best strategy in the current market conditions is to trade in the direction of the main trend, which is still up. All the local bounces and correction should be treated as another opportunity to open the buy orders for a better price. Please notice, the larger time frame trend is up and there are no signs of any trend reversal.

Re: InstaForex Analysis

EURUSD: ECB revised the interest rate forecast. Mario Draghi is pleased with the growth of the economy in the 1st quarter, but fears for its future

The euro ignored data on the growth of the eurozone economy in the 1st quarter of this year, as traders closely followed the ECB report. Even despite the fact that the expected dates for raising interest rates in the eurozone were shifted to the middle of next year, and Mario Draghi signaled a possible decrease in interest rates to a negative level if necessary, the euro held its position and even rose against the US dollar.

According to the report, a good increase in consumer spending in the euro area in the 1st quarter of this year contributed to accelerating economic growth. Export has also made a significant contribution.

According to the EU statistics agency, the eurozone economy grew by 0.4% in the 1st quarter of this year compared to the 4th quarter. Compared with the 1st quarter of 2018, the economy grew by 1.2%. In annual terms, an increase of 1.6%.

However, it is already known from the results of the latest reports that in the 2nd quarter of this year, GDP growth slows down, and, as many experts expect, growth will be the weakest since the beginning of economic recovery in 2014.

As I noted above, the attention of traders was focused on the ECB meeting, at which the regulator left the refinancing rate unchanged, at the level of 0.0%. The European Central Bank left the deposit rate unchanged at -0.40%.

The central bank revised its forecast, saying that rates would remain at current levels, at least until the end of the first half of 2020. The ECB will continue to completely reinvest the income from the QE program over a long period after the first rate increase.

A new TLTRO program was also announced, according to which targeted long-term loans for banks will be offered at a rate of 10 bp above the average refinancing rate.

The euro rose during the speech of the ECB President Mario Draghi, although the statements made by in principal were negative.

Draghi noted that he is closely following how monetary policy affects banks, and is ready to act. If necessary, the ECB will adjust monetary policy instruments. As for the extension of the forecast period of saving rates, it was quite expected due to the long-term uncertainty, which is now observed in the global economy. First of all, uncertainty is associated with conflicts in international trade and changes in the policies of central banks. Draghi also said that the ECB may lower interest rates if necessary.

As for the economy, the head of the ECB is confident that, despite the stronger growth in eurozone GDP in the 1st quarter of this year, the difficulties in the world still put pressure on the prospects for further growth, and the data indicate a slightly weaker growth in the economy 2nd and 3rd blocks.

ECB economists forecast GDP growth in 2019 by 1.2% against the previous forecast of growth of 1.1%, while in 2020 it is expected to grow by 1.4% against the previous forecast of growth by 1.6%.

The ECB president is confident that the increase in employment and wage growth will continue to support the eurozone economy, but the threat of protectionism and geopolitical factors will slow it down.

https://forex-images.ifxdb.com/userfiles/20190614/analytics5d032ce572805.jpg

Technical Market Overview:
After two Pin Bar like candlestick formation around the upper consolidation boundary, the GBP/USD pair keeps trading close to the support zone located between the levels of 1.2652 - 1.2668. The momentum is barely holding the neutral fifty level and it looks like is about to go lower as well. The stochastic is in the middle of the range now, so all sum up there is no direct signal regarding the future price move now, but the support zone is tempting to be violated. In this scenario, the next target for bears is seen at level 1.2605.

Re: InstaForex Analysis

GBPUSD: The pound is growing after the Bank of England's decision not to change the monetary policy

The British pound continued its growth against the US dollar, completely ignoring the weak report on retail sales. The demand for the pound has been observed since the beginning of the week, when it became clear that the monetary policies of the Bank of England and the US Federal Reserve may begin to diverge in different directions. In other words, the central bank of England will not lower interest rates, while the Fed intends to do this, which, although indirectly, was mentioned at Fed Chairman Jerome Powell's press conference yesterday.

As I noted above, retail sales in the UK fell in May of this year, and one of the main reasons are adverse weather conditions, which negatively affected the demand for summer wardrobe items. This once again confirms the fact that the UK economy is unlikely to show good growth rates in the 2nd quarter of this year and, at best, will only keep them.

According to the UK National Bureau of Statistics, retail sales in the UK fell by 0.5% in May compared with April. Fall is observed for the second month in a row. Between March and May, UK retail sales rose by only 1.6%, after rising 1.7% between February and April.

Economists had expected a similar decline in retail sales, which also kept pressure on the British pound before the publication of the Bank of England report on interest rates.

According to the data, the Bank of England left the key interest rate at the level of 0.75%, and the decision to keep the key rate at the same level was made at a ratio of 9 to 0.

The central bank noted that downside risks for GDP growth have increased, and therefore GDP growth will remain unchanged in the 2nd quarter. The regulator also expects that this year inflation will be below the target level of 2%, which will "slow down" with a further increase in interest rates in the context of growing uncertainty with Brexit.

Let me remind you that today Boris Johnson, who is the most likely successor of Theresa May as prime minister, moved ahead in the fourth round of voting with 157 votes. Johnson is a hard advocate of Brexit, which in the future could create serious problems for the economy.

The Bank of England expects a limited and gradual increase in interest rates in the event of a smooth Brexit.

As for the technical picture of the GBPUSD pair, growth was restrained by a large resistance level around 1.2730, and currently there is some downward correction in the support area of 1.2640, which will make it possible for large buyers to build the lower boundary of the new upward channel capable of continuing the current trend. The main weekly goal of the bulls will be a high in the area of 1.2760.

Forecast for GBP/USD on June 25, 2019

https://forex-images.ifxdb.com/userfiles/20190625/analytics5d11a94393ae0.png

GBP/USD
Yesterday, the pound solved the main task for the possibility of further growth - it consolidated above the line of the price channel on the daily chart. The balance line was on top of a strong resistance. The daily Marlin oscillator signal line lies at the horizon, which makes it possible for the pound to continue its slow growth below the balance line and reach the MACD line (1.2832), presumably at the point where both indicator lines coincide. From this point, a reversal or correction is likely.

There is a weak convergence on the four-hour chart on the Marlin oscillator, but nevertheless it is closer in form to consolidation in the growth zone, which may soon continue to increase the indicator and price.

A signal for a reversal will be the departure of the price below the price channel line on the daily chart and below the MACD line (1.2690) at the four-hour price.

Technical analysis of Gold for June 27

Gold price has pulled back towards $1,400 as expected and noted in our previous posts. The risk reward ratio did not favor bulls and as the RSI was giving bearish divergence signs, we said that we prefer to take profits and stay neutral when price was above $1,430.

https://forex-images.ifxdb.com/userfiles/20190626/analytics5d13c88d1a4a3.png

Blue lines - bearish divergence
Green line - support trend line

Gold price has pulled back from $1,439 towards $1,400. The bearish divergence warnings by the RSI have been fulfilled. Price has made the minimum required pull back. Price could continue lower towards $1,380-90 area before resuming its up trend. Short-term support is found at $1,410 and resistance at $1.425. Medium-term trend remains bullish. Gold bears will need to break below $1,270-$1,300 area in order to cancel the importance of this bullish breakout.

Forecast for EUR/USD on June 28, 2019

EUR/USD
The third day began, as the euro hardly moves from its place in anticipation of decisions from the fields of the G20 and the EU summit. As a result, the indicator lines on the H4 chart are approaching the current price, the oscillator lines on the daily and H4 continue to decline. Now, to create a signal in the medium-term sale, the price is enough to gain a foothold under the MACD line on the four-hour chart (1.1340), which is very close to the lows of the last days. The goal of reducing 1.1234 – the area of coincidence of the nested line of the price channel and the MACD line on the daily scale chart.

But, despite the strengthening of the declining version of the order to 65%, the possibility of growth of 35% is high enough to be realized in the movement to 1.1514 – the Fibonacci level of 50% on the daily chart (coincides with the top of January 2019). The growth can consist of two stages: the movement to the Fibonacci level of 61.8% at the price of 1.1445 and the movement to 1.1514. It remains to wait for developments. Again, on the G20, preliminary events are still developing in favor of the dollar.

Re: InstaForex Analysis

EURUSD: Unemployment will only provide temporary support for the euro, while other indicators will continue to disappoint

The euro rose after a report that the number of applications for unemployment benefits in Germany fell, and the unemployment rate in the eurozone fell. This indicates a good state of the labor market, which has recently caused concern to the European Central Bank.

However, ahead of the report on the labor market, there were indices for manufacturing in France, Italy, Germany and the eurozone, which leave much to be desired, confirming the negative impact of the protectionist policies of the United States and the slowdown in the global economy against trade conflicts.

As I noted above, according to published official data, the number of applications for unemployment benefits in Germany in June of this year fell by 1,000, after rising by 60,000 in May. The employment agency noted that the weak economic situation continues to be reflected in the labor market. Taking into account the seasonal adjustment, unemployment in June remained at the level of 5.0%, whereas in April of this year it reached a record minimum of 4.9%. The number of registered vacancies in June was 798,000, which is also less than in May.

The sharp rise in the euro occurred after it became known that the unemployment rate in the eurozone in May of this year fell, not coinciding with the forecasts of economists. However, looking ahead, it is necessary to say that speculative traders in vain ignored the report on the eurozone production index for June, the decline of which will force enterprises to reduce staff, adversely affecting the June report on the labor market.

According to the data, in May of this year, the number of unemployed in the eurozone decreased by 103,000 people, while the unemployment rate itself fell to 7.5% (the level of the crisis of 2008) from 7.6% in April. The report noted that the largest reduction in the number of unemployed was registered in Spain and Italy.

Why is low unemployment so important for the ECB? In addition to influencing the growth rate of the economy, low unemployment also stimulates the acceleration of inflation, which the regulator is counting on.

Data on lending to companies in the eurozone were ignored by traders. According to the ECB report, in May of this year, compared with April, lending to non-financial companies increased by 3.9%, which corresponds to the April rate. Lending to households in the euro area in May increased by 3.3%, as well as in April. Eurozone M3 monetary aggregate grew by 4.8%, while economists had expected the indicator to grow by 4.6% in May.

As I noted above, ignoring weak reports on production activity will not lead to anything good. According to the data, the PMI Purchasing Managers Index for the Italian manufacturing sector fell to 48.4 points in June, while Italy's manufacturing PMI was 49.7 points in May. In France, the same index rose slightly in June, reaching 51.9 points, against 50.6 points in May.

In Germany, the situation with production activity remains at a very bad level. There, the index remained below 50 points, which indicates a reduction, and amounted to 45.0 points in June against 44.3 points in May. In the euro area as a whole, the PMI purchasing managers index for the manufacturing sector in June dropped even more - to 47.6 points versus 47.7 points in May.

As for the technical picture of the EURUSD pair, it remained unchanged. The upward momentum after a good report on the eurozone labor market helped to carry out a number of stop-orders of speculative players, but the market remains on the sellers side. The purpose of the bears is the support test of 1.1310, below which the lows open as early as June 21 - 1.1285 and June 20 - 1.1225. In case of a breakout level of 1.1350, the upward correction will be limited to a high of 1.1370.
