GBP/CHF Elliott Wave Analysis

AfterSNB decided to drop the 1.2000 EUR/CHF floor the price action on CHF crosses has been distorted, however, we can still find a way to guide us through the current mess by simple using support and resistance level and the box trading ranges (see Figure 1). GBP/CHF as being a cross pair has a lot of tendency to consolidate and we can find more often it's moving inside this range boxes. Usually if we have this type of boxes on the left side of the chart, we can see how by s…

Update 1: Since the market wasn't able to close above the big psychological number 1.5000 there is reason to believe it will act as resistance and next week we can expect a pullback. First level of support comes at 1.4850 from where the market can bounce

Daytrader21 avatar

Update 2: It seems that wave B has extended more than I was expecting but we can call it completed at 1.5350. Right now wave C is developing and we should see a break below the big psychological figure 1.5000. The next big level of support comes at 1.4600 where current sell-off should stop and wave C can be called completed.

Update 3: If GBP/CHF doesn't start selling off right from the beginning of next week than I may be wrong on this trade. We need to break below 1.5150 in order to be able to see more downside and a possible reversal.

Update 1: The sell off from the 1.5400 high is a normal reaction to complete wave 4 of 5. Right now based on Elliott Wave we should expect further consolidation before more upside. Support level stands at 1.4600 previous week's low

Daytrader21 avatar

Update 2: I think that wave 4 is now under the last stage before to finish the sequence. The low of 1.4595 represents wave A of wave 4 and we can expect in the short-term another break lower below 1.48800 to complete wave B and than another push higher.

Daytrader21 avatar

Update 3: We're still trapped within a narrow range between 1.4750 and with resistance at the 1.5110 level which is also the top of the current range box. Other major level we have to keep in mind is the big psychological number 1.5000 which can give us further insights into where to price will go

Daytrader21 avatar

Update 4: The path for the coming week is still to remain in this range consolidation zone but since we have already tested the bottom of the range it make sense to expect an upside reaction and a retest of the top of the range. In order for more upside we need a break of the big round number 1.5000.

Prepering The Week Ahead


Hold on tight as the next week will not fall short expectation when it comes to fx volatility. Greece bailout talks or rather Grexit and Fed rate decision are the main risk event of the week. On the top of that we have SNB rate decision as well but market expectation is for no major change in monetary policy. SNB rhetoric when it comes to the stronger CHF will ultimately dictate CHF direction, however they seems less likely to turn more aggressive any time soon.
In short expect lot of intraday …

Update 4: As expected once we broke previous swing high the momentum has pushed up this pair right into my target and last week high was exactly my forecast target of 1.5026. Next week will be key as we can see another retest of 1.4900 where buyers should show up and see another retest of 1.5026.

Daytrader21 avatar

Update 5: Since we broke above the 1.4800 which was the top of the previous range box, we should expect the next consolidation range to take place between 1.4800 support level and 1.5200 previous swing high level. 

Daytrader21 avatar

Update 6: Last Friday rally from below the brig round number 1.5000 has left behind thin liquidity bars which is a sign that we're going to see a fill of that gap and see a retest of the big round number and ultimately getting closer to our target at 1.5026. Monday on london session I see the scenario in the figure attached

WallStreet6 avatar

Here you have about 70 pips to go- could make it closer on Monday. Once again great job with the analysis!

USD/CHF in Correction Mode

Even thought back in January USD/CHF crashed due the SNB Black Swan even, caused by SNB decision to abandon the 1.2 peg, we're back near parity level, and this is all due to the US dollar exceptional rally. The broad based dollar strength was playing a key role in this impressive recovery and we should see this pair above current year high around 1.0200 level as soon as the dollar bullish trend resume. However right now we're trading inside a big corrective price structure.

Update 4: As expected right now we're establishing the next range box between big figure 0.9500 and current top of the range and support level at 0.9070 current bottom. Next week we should see further consolidation.

Daytrader21 avatar

Update 5: As expected the market was moving inside a very tight range moving slowly to the downside in order to retest key support level at 0.9070. For next week resistance stands at 0.9300 which is a broken support level that will act as new resistance.

Daytrader21 avatar

Update 6: We indeed retested the 0.9300 resistance level and current price is a little bit above at 0.9350 which is still inside the range zone where the market could see a move lower. We need a break and a daily close below 0.9300 round number.

Daytrader21 avatar

Update 7: As expected we broke below the key round number 0.9300 and we have gone as low as 0.9240 which is also the current daily low and which should act as support so for the next 24 hours we should expect price consolidate between 0.9300 and 0.9240

Daytrader21 avatar

Update 8: The market close above the key resistance level and round number 0.9300, and we where 23 pips away from my forecast

Update 5: As expected we had a double top and we had a sell of from the big round number 1.4500 which can be considered the second wave of wave B. Right now we're 0.13 deviation from my actual forecast of 1.4397. The actual price is 1.4378 which is exactly 19 pips. However we're just Friday and until Monday we can still have either some further improvements or the market could still move against me. However the likelihood is for a retest of the round number 1.4400 on Monday.

Daytrader21 avatar

Update 6: As expected and as per my last update we indeed not only retested the round number 1.4400 but the momentum pushed the price even higher. Right now as I post this update I have 0% deviation from my forecast, which is quite impressive. in the next two hours left until the deadline the market should not experience any strong movement until the New York session comes in and we should expect price gravitate near this round number 1.4400(1.4397 my forecast) during the next 2h

Daytrader21 avatar

Update 7: 20 Minutes left until the deadline and as expected the price gravitated towards the round number 1.4400, and as I write this update I have 0% deviation

Daytrader21 avatar

Update 9: I give here some feedback about Technical Analysis contest and why there need to bee done some adjustments.

Daytrader21 avatar

I have 0% deviation 15 minutes before the deadline....................This is unbelievable

Quick Review of my EUR/CHF Trade

In today's blog post I'll want to take the time and speak in more details about another trade that I had which was long EUR/CHF. Despite the general euro weakness across the board EUR/CHF was heading up quite nicely, and most likely SNB was bidding up this pair in an attempt to prevent for further CHF appreciation. My reasoning behind this trade was that once EUR/USD will pause this would take the pressure away from EUR/CHF and it can trade higher. However even thought we have a shallow retracem…

Update 2: As expected the momentum continue to push higher and we're near our target. From here on I'm expecting a retracement based on Figure 1 we should see the market ranging between a wide range 1.4750 resistance zone and 1.4000 big round number and support zone

Daytrader21 avatar

Update 3: Unfortunately we broke above the key level 1.4750 but we still have to be patience and wait and see if there is any follow through to confirm this breakout.

Daytrader21 avatar

Update 4: This pair has broken outside my projection and we the momentum pushed this pair all the way up past the big round number 1.5000 and we had a strong rejection from there making a "v" shape top for now which should keep this pair under pressure in the coming weeks. Next week support stands at 1.4700 level.

Daytrader21 avatar

Update 5: As per my previous update I was right we indeed established a "v" shape top. Now we're big round number 1.4500 which should provide some support level for the time being. Next week we should see momentum start picking up.

Daytrader21 avatar

Update 6: After 2 weeks sell of this pair has finally found a bottom and we should expect previous week low to hold. So the 1.4200 level should act as support. If we manage to break above 1.4500 round number in the first days of the week there is a chance we'll hit our target

Gold Down-Channel


Last time I was speaking about Gold it was trading near an important inflection point, see more here: Gold Inflection Point
Even thought I was drawing the point that the probability suggest we should continue lower, I have also been advice if we broke the trend-line that connects the 2012 highs we should take the breakout with a long position. The initial breakout lack momentum but only after SNB decision to abandon the 1.2000 EUR/CHF floor, Gold started to gain momentum.

Black Swan Event Armageddon Style.


In my second blog post of the year I was arguing and making the point of higher market volatility in the year ahead, you can find more about it here: 2015 A Year of Higher Volatility
Did I ever foreseen the level of current madness in the market? By no means NO.
Having said that there where some clues of what is to come as everything was pointing towards ECB aggressive easing measures to be implemented at beginning of the year, and now with EU lawyer approving ECB bond-buying programme as bein…

CommunitySupport  Thanks for keeping us posted. As soon as I was aware of Dukascopy official statement I've made an update and I was pointing anyone in that direction. It was just an unwanted bad rumor and you can't put your all trust in a rumor, so I've advice everyone to take it with a grain of salt.

Me personally and I'm sure many others are please to hear the good news and I'm looking ahead for another 10 great years with Dukascopy and many more.

Keep up the good work!

DUKASCOPY: NO TRADE CANCELLATIONS, NO NEGATIVE BALANCES

Management of Dukascopy Group has decided to take an exceptional decision to cover negative balances on client accounts related to CHF move on SNB decision on 15.01.2015.

In spite of the fact that agreements and regulation allow Dukascopy to claim negative balances compensated by clients, it was decided to release customers from obligation to cover negative balance.

Dukascopy Bank has not cancelled or negatively adjusted any trade concluded on 15.01.2015 with clients during the CHF move.
