Ruble
Long EURRUB - mid term setupLooking forward for a reversal in Euro / Ruble pair in a short time around low 60s levels.
Watching for a MA(14), as even 1 bar breakout can result a change of movement.
To be continue with UPDs after mid-March expiration.
Our initial target is at 80 lvl.
Oil rig to fall soon - Brent and Ruble ready to riseRussian Ruble has recently touched 4.5-month high, but the oil rebound gives the currency the hope to appreciate again. And the chances for oil surge are growing.
There are several factors that may affect oil moves from verbal interventions to the EIA stocks change data and oil rigs. We have already seen data from the EIA this week. The OPEC officials still keep silence. So, all we have is Baker Hughes data scheduled for release tonight.
Judging by the reports, the oil rig number has approximately 3-month lag when reacting to the oil moves. It means the current surge is triggered by the long-term period of oil appreciation seen since February, 2016. And the bearish trend came to an end 3 months ago. What’s interesting, the current number of oil rigs was last seen when Brent was around $80.00 bbl.
What does it mean? It means the oil rig number will soon reverse the trend. The current price levels are unfavorable for further rapid increase of output. And there is a chance to see the decrease of the Baker Hughes number today. For the first time during the last 5.5 months. And this will be enough to revive a demand on Brent sending it to 46.30 in the nearest future.
Under such scenario, USD/RUB may go back to 59.00 with next target at 58.60.

USDRUB Consolidation patternUSDRUB is in a consolidation pattern looking to break out. The consolidation is getting tighter and tighter. Look to go LONG or SHORT once a direction is found. If it breaks below, I will go short and hold for a long time because there is very little support beneath 48. (My bias remains on the downside but only time will tell.)
USDRUB (MOEX). New count. Back to September idea. Target 44. Quite often the first idea in your mind is correct, call it divine providence but it works.
So the more I am analyzing corrective structures the better should be labelling ))).
So this detailed count of what was seen last September - into related ideas below.
The target is conservative at 44 RUB where Y=W.
USDRUB. View changed. Updated structureMy previous idea showed the strength of the RUB.
I watched it closely and the very tight range and a lot of see-saw moves on USDRUB daily chart changed my mind.
I think we are not going to go much lower. I would quit short and book profit.
Updated view shows the corrective structure upside with the large C pending.
Target for C highlighted in a white rectangle with range between 50 and 78.6% Fibonacci retracement.
