EURUSD: Break Below 618, Approaching Inside Bar Demand ZoneEURUSD fell as the 618 level failed to hold the price after ECB Draghi signals for more rate cut. The price is approaching the demand zone created with an inside bar breakout that sent the price soaring and break above a 3-month falling channel. What's more important now is how will the Fed react during FOMC as the Fed has already signalled for a probable rate cut earlier. Look for buy opportunity as the price approaches 1.1160.

Mexican peso holiday & central banks are preparing for the worstThe week started quite well for the financial markets and with a huge relief for Mexico in particular. The point is that Trump decided not to impose 5% tariff on Mexican goods. The Mexican peso showed maximum growth over the past year. The Canadian dollar is below 1.33. Therefore a sharp decline in gold and other safe-haven assets against this background can be considered logical and logical. However, we would not advise relaxing. In fact, this is just one of the episodes. But in general, the picture continues to be rather precarious. According to analysts at Morgan Stanley, heightened market optimism is a mistake of investors. Global economic data is likely to begin to deteriorate. Accordingly, Morgan Stanley recommends selling USDJPY with a target of 105. We will continue to look for points to buy gold and Japanese yen on the intraday basis. About the Japanese yen. Yesterday, the head of the Bank of Japan, Haruhiko Kuroda, contributed a lot to yen sales in the foreign exchange market. He said that the Central Bank is ready to expand the list of monetary incentives, if it is necessary. Panicking and selling off the yen is not worth it yet. Well, the Bank of Japan is satisfied with the content of the monetary policy and the general state of the country's economy. Nevertheless, the general trend in the behavior of the leading central banks is pretty clear: all as one declare their readiness to act in response to trade war escalation. Recall, earlier "pigeon" comments were seen by the Fed and the ECB. And the Reserve Bank of Australia, so generally, lowered the rate last week. We would like to note rather weak data from the UK in particular GDP dropped by 0.4% m / m, in April ( the analysts had been expected a declining by 0.1% m / m).In addition, industrial production collapsed by by -2.7% m / m (experts predicted a decline of -1.0% m / m). It is not surprising that the pound was under downward pressure yesterday. Today we are waiting for data on the UK labor market, which might finish the pound. Well, we will see. Our trading preferences for today are as follows: we will continue to look for points for selling the US dollar against the Japanese yen, as well as the euro, oil sales and the Russian ruble, as well as buying gold.

Preparing for the NFP, ECB results & FedMonetary policy decisions. The announcement of the ECB’s decision on the parameters of monetary policy in the euro area was the main event. As expected, no changes followed. The most important thing, as usual, was concentrated in the comments of the Head of the ECB, Mario Draghi. The economic growth forecasts worsened again (the GDP growth rate for 2020 was lowered from 1.6% to 1.4%). In addition, according to Draghi, the ECB is serious about a return to quantitative easing and lower rates. Buying euros after such a speech of the head of the ECB is not worth it, even if you really want to sell a dollar. And today we want to sell the dollar more than ever. In yesterday's review, we have already noted that the figures for the number of jobs in private US companies in May were just awful. + 27K - we have not seen such figures since the global financial crisis. After publishing NFP a couple of times over the past few years, frankly, weak numbers, from time to time, have been shown. But not in the case of data from ADP. It is difficult to imagine a situation in which the data from ADP showed + 27K with the forecast of 180K, and the figures for the NFP come out near + 185K. The level of correlation between these indicators is low, and the methodology for calculating indicators differs, but at the same time, they characterize the same market in the same coordinate system. So today we are waiting for the NFP to lower its forecast. By lower we mean marks + 100K and below. The figure in the range of 30-50K will not surprise us much. But the markets definitely will, provoking massive dollar sales on the entire spectrum of the foreign exchange market. We recommend not waiting for the official figures to be realized, but selling the dollar, since it might be too late. Let us explain why exactly today the weak NFP data is so critical for the dollar. The fact is that the markets are increasingly being discounted for the rate decrease by the Fed in 2019. In particular, the probability that the rate by the end of 2019 will be unchanged is less than 2%. Accordingly, with a 98% probability, it can be argued that the rate in 2019 will be lowered. There is almost a 90% chance that the rate will be reduced twice. At the same time, more than 50% of traders believe that the rate will be reduced 3 times. Plus there is another 17% chance that the rate will be reduced 4 times (!). Note that the probability of this event did not exceed 4% last week. That is, the probability increased by more than 4 times (!).in less than a week. Weak NFP Data will provoke a slowdown and problems in the US economy, but also the Fed will lower rates aggressively. Perhaps at the next meeting in mid-June. Perhaps not by 0.25%, but by 0.5%. Our positions today without any changes: we will continue to look for points for sales of the US dollar, sales of oil and the Russian ruble, as well as buying of gold and the Japanese yen.

EURCHF at important support. 1.14 in sight?The EURCHF pair has reached once again an important support level which can be seen on the weekly chart. The support is formed by a confluence of the 61.8% Fib level and a strong horizontal support - the lower levels of the recent range. Shorter-term charts shows a symmetrical triangle pattern which may soon break out to the upside. The pair may retest the upper range levels around 1.14xx if the mentioned support levels show to hold. The RSI on the daily also shows a bullish divergence. Short-term risks include today's ECB meeting with an expected dovish tone from Draghi, given the recent dovish stance from the Fed and the RBA.

Dax daily: 06 Jun 2019 Yesterday’s session started without a gap and after a short correction, buyers really headed upwards to higher levels. Unfortunately, the momentum wasn’t strong enough to reach our target at 12 064. The session was then closed near it’s open at 11 986. Important zones Resistance: 12 064 Support: 11 861 Statistics for today Detailed statistics in the Statistical Application Macroeconomic releases 13:45 CEST – EUR – Main Refinancing Rate & Monetary Policy Statement 14:30 CEST – ECB Press Conference Today’s session hypothesis Today’s session opened with a gap sized 34 points. This size of the gap has approximately 50 – 65% probability for closing, so no strong edge here, yet such a scenario would be nice for this morning. For today, we expect a weaker activity up till the ECB rate decision and the Monetary Policy Statement. The more important though will be Draghi’s presser later on at 2.30pm CEST. The ECB’s bias could influence the rest of today’s price action. On the long side, we still target the 12 064 level. On the short side, our focus is on the support level of 11 861.

EURAED sellEUR has been on the rise, getting plenty of strength against USD, GBP, HKD and AED in particular over the last few days. This can come to an end as early as tomorrow then the ECB is releasing their interest rate decision and hold a press conference in regards to their monetary policy. There is also GDP news before that; let's also not forget that inflation is really low. Therefore, if they turn dovish like the FED did recently then we could see EUR weakness across the board yet again. In such a scenario, we could see the EURAED rate drop closer to 4.10 or below, with the 4.11 level being the first test (50-day average) and then the 4.085 area being the first real level of support as the daily and weekly candle chart is indicating.

What is going on Eur/Usd ?What is going on Eur/Usd ? So the price is undergoing a very short-term rebound. This allowed the price to return in the 1.12 area. In fact, after entering short about a month ago and reaching the first target in the area of 1,112 (as indicated in the previous analysis), the price returned again near the previous entry point. Technically, the trend still remains bearish on the main TFs, with the price still below all the main EMA and key static resistances. To reverse the trend in the very short/short period, the price should break the weekly dynamic resistance identified by EMA20 and passer for the 1,126. To reverse it in the short / medium term, the price should even violate upwards the dynamic resistance identified by the EMA200 and passing through the 1.16. The technical analysis is strongly supported by the fundamental scenario. During the week Draghi will speak, declaring the monetary policy that the ECB will adopt in the short term. Which should not surprise analysts and investors, who still expect a strongly expansive policy. This could devaluing the euro, which should loss against the other majors. We expect that this downtrend will start again. So because of what is going on Eur/Usd the first target remains the support area at 1.112; the last target we expect the area located at 1.08.

World war and dollar, useless bitcoin and plans for the weekDay by day the situation with a trade war is getting worse. On Friday, for example, the Mexican peso showed the strongest drop in the last seven months after the announcement of the introduction of new US duties on Mexican goods in response to the flow of illegal immigrants. It was a surprise to the markets since the agreement between the USA, Mexico and Canada did not provide for such a development of events. From June 10, duties on imports from Mexico will be 5%. But this is not the worst. If Mexico could not solve the problem of illegal immigrants, duties will gradually increase until they reach 25% by October. Interestingly enough how the US dollar reacted to this news, which has declined significantly in the foreign exchange market against major currencies. One of the reasons for this was the revision of the market expectations of the Fed. Last week, we already noted that markets tend toward two or even three rate cuts by the end of 2019. So, after hitting Mexico, markets began to incorporate the option in which the rate would be reduced 4 (!) Times. The chance is extremely small (for now) - only 4%. But the trend is the key thing, that plays exclusively against the dollar. Our recommendation on working with the dollar for this week in the light of such events remains unchanged, we only strengthened in our desire to sell the dollar. On Friday, Canadian GDP data was published. GDP growth was + 0.5% m / m and + 1.4% y / y when the forecast was + 0.4% m / m and + 1.2% y / y. Only events around Mexico (which call into question the fate of the USMCA, have kept it from growing but despite it, this is decently a signal in favor of buying the Canadian dollar. Last week, the Bitcoin price rose above $ 9,000, which again grew up chatter about the prospects of its growth. We found Chainalysis Inc., information interesting, according to which only 1.3% of Bitcoin operations were carried out with the aim of serving trade and commercial activity. That says that practically ALL operations with cryptocurrency are purely speculative in its nature (90% of Bitcoin operations are exchange transactions on different exchanges). In this regard, we recall our position - any growth of Bitcoin is a reason for its sales. Current prices are the best for this. The upcoming week promises to be difficult. Their decisions on the parameters of monetary policy will announce the Reserve Bank of Australia and the ECB, and the US will announce statistics on the labor market at the end of the week. Our positions for today and the week as a whole are following: we will look for points for buying of the euro and the pound against the US dollar, sales of oil and the Russian ruble, as well as buying of gold and the Japanese yen. In addition, quite interesting, in our opinion, is buying of the Canadian dollar against the US dollar.

Draghi departure & fate of euro, CB of Canada & Japan decisionThe main event on the foreign exchange market yesterday was the announcement of the outcome of the Bank of Canada meeting. For the fourth time, the Central Bank did not raise the rate. The decision is predictable and has been accounted for in the Canadian dollar price. But what was not considered? The fact that the Bank of Canada completely removed the mention of the possibility of a rate hike in the future from its statement. This was a surprise. For the Canadian dollar surprises with a “minus sign”. So, its sales could be called logical. The rest of the Wednesday was a rather quiet day. Dollar growth has stalled. In the absence of additional drivers for growth. However, today a surge of volatility in dollar pairs might occur after the publication of data on orders for durable goods in the United States. Well, almost certainly not avoid a “roller coaster” on Friday, when data on US GDP for the first quarter will be published. In relation to relatively calm news background, investors and traders decided to attend to promising events. In particular, what will happen with the euro after the Mario Draghi departure from the post of President of the ECB? According to analysts at UBS, the euro is waiting for its growth regardless of who takes the chair. Motivation - a new president - is a reason to start tightening monetary policy in the Eurozone. That is a positive factor for the euro anyway. So those who are engaged in long-term trading should pay attention to buying euros, which is quite cheap lately. Another important Central Bank’s meeting this time in Japan was held today. Traditionally, the Bank of Japan did not adjust the country's monetary policy. But at the same time, Central Bank made it clear that the ultra-soft monetary policy will continue until at least 2020. In addition, the Central Bank lowered its forecasts for inflation and GDP in Japan. In general, this is quite a sickening blow to the yen, so its sales remain relevant. So, we are continuing to recommend to buy USDJPY. According to the US Department of Energy, oil reserves in the United States have risen sharply over the past week (+5.479 million with a forecast of +1.0 million). Despite this clearly bearish signal, oil did not decline. This once again confirms the current situation in the oil market: buyers dominate. This means that it is necessary to continue to look for points for buying on the intraday basis. As for our other positions, today we are continuing to look for points for selling the dollar against the euro, pound, and also the franc. In addition, we return to the gold buying on the intraday basis.
