DAY 7 - IDENTIFYING HIGHS & LOWS

Identifying Highs & Lows is essential part of my trading. It saves me from being on wrong side of market majority of times. Lot of traders get stuck into conventional way of drawing highs & lows, but fail to understand its not about perfection, its about understanding market pulse by taking guidance from past swings, concentrating on current price action and predicting probability of next market move.

USD/JPY closing the year near the highs

Monthly chart:
Price is trending up towards strong resistance zone:
1. Trendline that contained the long-term downtrend in years 1986, 1990, 1998.
2. 23.6% retracement of November 1982 to October 2011 decline.
3. 2007 high at 124.14.
On the downside, the first major support is 200 month SMA at 106 and then 105 level.
Weekly chart:
As price is getting closer to 120 level, the momentum is somewhat weakening. The previous week's range bar clearly demonstrated indecision, but that was likely just a…

Update1: The USD/JPY train continues its journey to the North. If it continues with this pace, it could easily reach the monthly resistance cluster (123-124) or even 125 by the end of the year. All three analyses - technical, fundamental and sentimental - support the rally. The only counter-argument is that the market is overbought and year-end is near and possibility of a correction is rising. If the correction indeed materializes, my prediction target of 120.01 will again come in focus.

Update 2: We had quite decent (400 pip) pullback this week, but the lower tail on weekly candle indicates that the bulls won't give up just yet. There is also Japanese lower house election on Sunday, so understandably there was some profit taking present. We will have to wait till Monday to see whether this was really just a pullback or a start of a larger correction.

Update 3: It appears that last week's decline was just a normal correction. Of course we won't know that for sure until the price breaks and continues to trade above the December 8 high, but given that nothing has changed and Abe remains in charge, that is the most probable scenario. But it may not happen this year as the pair will likely just consolidate around current levels till year-end.

al_dcdemo avatar

Update 4: Despite the consolidative nature of the week, the pair managed to re-take 120 and close the week above it. It seems that uptrend continuation and new multi year highs are just around the corner, but that probably won't happen until after the next week, which is expected to be range-bound.

al_dcdemo avatar

Update 5: The pair didn't manage to close the year above 120 but, nevertheless, the rally from July 2014 was impressive and there's prevailing sentiment that the Yen's decline is far from being over. Looking at the long term chart and 1982 high of 278, the potential is immense. The distance just to 38.2% retracement of the 1982 - 2011 decline, which is just above 150 level, is almost 35K pips.

Retreat from highs expected

USD/SGD is on highs last seen in the middle of 2013. Broad USD strength is seen across the board and now I think for some week rate will be in process of further direction determination. Mentioned developments could be seen in weekly USD/SGD chart below.
In my opinion during coming moth rate will fluctuate inside quite narrow range before further direction will be determined but this might happen only at the beginning of next year. For more exact possible rate developments determination daily US…

3 weeks till contest end - USD/SGD nearly reached 1.30 as it moved higher than I expected. But soft US jobs data reversed pair direction and now rate is around 1.29. In my opinion rate will return under 1.2873 during coming week and will fluctuate below that level afterwards.

2 weeks till contest end - USD shows strength again and rate tried to move above 1.30 but didn't stayed there for a long. I think despite recent highs is still under attack substantial retreat is not so far in my opinion.

Priceline On the Move

Hello Traders,
I was checking out some recent earning news and this chart jumped out at me. Looks like a nice inverted head and shoulders (bullish signal) has formed and new highs for Priceline.com is looking strong. Notice the 200 SMA is pushing up the price. The only concern comes at the psychological and resistance price area of 1300. The bulls seems to be testing the 1300 area, and if that is cleared I am looking for 1400 to as a target.
Happy Trading,
Jay Trader

GBP/NZD - Channel Down!

Charts: 4Hours, 1 Day.
Indicators: Fibonacii Fan Lines, Fibonacci Retracements,Support & Resistance Levels , MACD, EMA 200,100,50.
Current Level :1.9575

GBP/NZD has a mixed bias right now. If last month the pair was trending and looked like it will break higher (1.96) level and maybe a run towards (2.00 )price level this month the trend is surely bearish. Also the pair is going downward in a wide channel down pattern were it constantly made lower highes & lower lows strenghten this prediction.My

USDCAD started a big channel up in September last year from support ( 0.9633). The trend has been pretty strong , bouncing up and down from fan lines but always breaking higher. Recent price action as can be seen on the chart shows two similar waves that formed lower highs and higher lows ,breaking fan lines lower , which make me think looking
