GBP AUD short to complete extension, then buy.Hello analysts and traders.
Important updates - we have been holding a short and enjoying the wave ride down to the demand extension zone.
The market works in waves - it is incredible.
However - we are experiencing at this moment a really nice Fibonacci retracement on the GBP AUD - where AUD is in control more than the GBP despite strong buying net position changes.

Riskon
US 10 BondsThe US 10 Year Bond is probably the most watched metric used to determine the health of the markets. A drop in yields denotes fear and all risk assets are being sold off. The current chart for the 10 Year Bond looks pretty ugly, but it might make the bears quite happy. We are in a giant descending triangle. The formation within the triangle is a very ugly topping pattern.
The chart below is the price action of the 10 Year Bond and it is even more defined and clear. We are approaching the end of the formation.
Currently we stand at the edge and a single big red day may mean a continuation of the down trend. Oil and stocks seem to be topping or at meaningful resistance. Does this mean an imminent drop? No. I am no bear and I frankly don't care which way the markets go, but caution is very much advised. A daily close past the respective resistance/support lines will be a giant red flag for risk assets. Precious metals will likely also drop in such a situation as they have been trading similarly to stocks. However, the drop will likely be far less severe than the last one.
This is not trading advice, but purely my personal opinion.
GBP USD - weakness coming as high, lower high formedHello traders and analysts,
Here is our take on GBP USD - the trade is active, with FX it is a moving target so we will look for an additional entry upon a nice supply up coming but will it hold? the answer is yes, so price reacted at our 0.705 and resisted - now we have a long aiming to close into the purple zone. what has changed since the last chart?
So what is new is that we have had a zone touch and a lower 4hour zone touch. We can see personally a failed touch of the zone, the GBP is staying weak against the dollar with uncertainty of the GBP strength so we will now look to the downside and close out longs.

Technicals:
We have a good opportunity here to break the trendline as the triple top formation failed with heavy resistance at 1.265XX and weekly fibonacci level of 0.705 this could be a strong opportunity to sell again.
However, be aware of the above supply which is a full retracement from lows of 1.14 - 1.15 if price reacts and falls back into the range - look for a range sell, however if price shows a breakout and closes above with a weakened dollar. look long
There is bullish sentiment on the 4hour, but daily we can still a nice range here - it is shaking out a lot of investors which is good for liquidity grabs and flow of funds between the players.
We are playing the supply and demand here between bulls and bears. This is all that matters.
for this trade however we are in short.
Add sell positions if a fakeout of the retest of the breakout to create a lower low.
Fundamentals
Coronavirus in the EU and UK - both showing cases in respective countries,
Euro stimulus package has not been agreed so can show signs of strength of GBP if this fails to transpire.
Brexit talks - will send the pound with huge strength once a deal is reached - inverse will send EUR to almost parity if talks end and no deal is reached
Keep a watch for manufacturing orders in Germany and any causes for concern within France, Italy, Germany and Spain which can drag data components down.
Vaccination attempts to drive market sentiment.
USD safehaven upon tensions between HK move on China vs USA debate.
USA - cases in multiple states are high risk, the disconnect is unbelievable.

AUD/USD Weekly Candlesticks & Ichimoku ChartAUD/USD is probing above the weekly Ichimoku cloud. A close above would be a first since early 2018 and could mean the start of an uptrend that may test 0.8000 eventually. With the economic recovery in China gathering pace, and infrastructure building projects bound to be implemented by China, US and various other governments around the world to support the economy, AUD may soon resume its trend higher.
GBP AUD - long term buys - impulse into the range againHello traders and analysts,
We have an update to our GBP AUD trading range - price is still very much ranging but we have managed to yet again catch a trade to the upside whilst still hedging the downside movements.
Over the end of last week, we saw the Aussie get stronger but was not enough to break through to 1.78 area. so the demand zone still stands and the range is in play and active.

Dax daily: 15 Jul 2020Yesterday's price action was a great example of the rational behaviour of the market participants. As we mentioned in our analysis yesterday, the zone around 12 592 was important for establishing further price development, with the break outside signifying the continuation in that particular direction. Dax oscillated the entire European session before gaining momentum in the afternoon and we could target our trades to previous day VPOC. That is exactly what happened and Dax closed the day at the fair value with the biggest amount of orders.
Important zones
Resistance: 12 882
Support: 12 592
Statistics for today
Detailed statistics in the Statistical Application
Macroeconomic releases
NIL
Today's session hypothesis
Dax opened the day with an ascending gap and the first morning impulse attempts to close the gap. Considering the fact we have the resistance of 12 882 in near vicinity, we're now eying a lovely scenario of closing the gap as it correlates with the VPOC of Monday and then targeting the retest of resistance at 12 882 and possibly break higher. There are no fundamental releases scheduled for Dax today, but the optimism on the US stock markets dominates the market sentiment across the board, even despite the negative echoes of the US-China dealings. Consider it's the earning season too. Should the price get above 12 882, there is a lot of space ahead of us to continue our long bias in the short to the mid-term horizon.
FTSE China A50 Index Weekly Candlesticks & Ichimoku ChartChina A50 Index breaking aggressively to new highs may be a signal that the melt-up in risk assets is just beginning. With the mainstream press and banks issuing buy recommendations on the stock market, the frenzy is likely to push this even higher - 19,500 is within sight!
US30 (H1) Price today has rejected off strong resistance at the top (blue zone), where a lot of bearish pressure occurred to break price below support structure. Price is now pulling back to the previous support where I will be looking for a new lower high / retest of broken support as new resistance to be made. Looking left, you can see how powerful moves occurred off this level in the past, & may do the same again now.
Potential cup and handle pattern? GBP/USD 1-Hour ChartPotential cup and handle pattern on the 1-hour chart (For GBP/USD). Also a likely breakthrough on the 1.250-1.252 resistance level of risk-on optimism continues globally and USD weakness continues.
Note: My analysis is NOT professional investment advice, so please take responsibility for your own actions.
EURJPY Long after break, close and retest and a move upWe've had a bounce at the 119.50 level and a convincing move to the upside on the daily chart which coincides with the highs from late March before the COVID move south. Open longs once 121 level broken (in line with the green elipse) for profits north of 200 pips up to previous highs of 123.90. Be wary of negative news from EU around upsurges in COVID-19 cases but opening up of lockdown restrictions and upcoming summer travel will stimulate growth in EU and potential risk-on market activity.
HEXOtook a long on HEXO TP is around $3.60 after hitting $2 resistance I will probably sell and renter.
EUR/NZD - Long - Bearish Reversal I always like too think the charts don't lie and with the ECB meetings tomorrow all signs point upwards.
Although, despite short term success in this diverging channel for NZD that is largely due to the risk on tone across the markets.
The top tier 1.82000 resistance is a potential TP with both 100 & 200 day MA looking to diverge for potential change of direction to either side the ECB news could prove a 100+ pip winner by US session.
For you oscillator fans the RSI indicates its oversold but further risk on tone could see us move into range from the upside breakout earlier this year. The bearish reversal touching the bottom of the channel points to a test upside.
NZDJPY Potentially heading to pre-covid19 levelsTechnically
- On a strong resistance --> Hopeful to see slight retest before break up to levels before Covid-19
Fundamentals
- Risk on --> Economies around the world are opening up, this will potentially result to selloff in safe havens assets like Japanese Yen and Gold, this will likely result in medium term selloff of JPY against other countries currencies NZD in particular.
We are having a medium term bullish bias in the pair
OIL PRICE BULLISH RALLY MUCH EXPECTED TARGET NEAR $40Technically
- The price has retested the channel support which implies that there is a possibility for pull back.
- Also the momentum is still strong as can be noticed from MACD 4C
- The 30 period MA is sloping upward
Fundamentally
- The economies are opening up from Covid19 pandemic which will likely boost demand and Oil price
- On the supply side, the crude inventories are also declining on weekly basis which is also good for oil price.
I have initiated a long position at current price with first target around $39.50
GBP/JPY - Risk On to Start June 2020Don't be fouled by optimistic start to June 2020 be careful of any extension of current rally to the upside with obstacles approaching at 137.000
1. 200 Day - Daily MA (Blue) approaching at present testing the 100 day - Daily MA (Orange).
2. Fib Level at 0.618 will not stop Rally but potential reversal on fundamental pressure from investor attitude and BREXIT spotlight
The typical weak performer GBP in the summer months has recouped from low levels of 130.000. However, reopening economies and progressive BREXIT talk will spur the rally above 137.000
Trade idea:
137.000 Entry SL 137.300 dependant on progress of the rally.
Failure to beat 100 Day MA could see a short at 136.000 with SL at 136.3000
USDCAD Bear In ActionBear are ruling the market on this major pair and knowing the fact how well aussie and kiwi buddy of loonie in AUDUSD | NZDUSD performing lately against buck I reckon this two buddies are together counter striking buck viciously. No positive sign for DXY yet and seems total stagnate talking about the price action for that index and the fact how pound and euro kicking butt of buck too I assume at this point we should not consider a strong king ( buck ).
