Tradewar

SAFEHAVEN Demand Would Likely Propel YELLOW METAL To $1750.00!Last year it was highly anticipated that the yellow metal would break the years long held trading range and make a new high. Well all that is unraveling pretty quickly to say the least, as the trade war enters its second year with no end in sight. The two year long and ongoing trade war between the worlds two largest economies has led to fear of recession in the U.S as the yield curve inversion getting deeper and deeper. In EUROPE (germany) a technical recession has already happened with the manufacturing activity declining two consecutive times. Trump is hell bent on reducing imports from china and making the USD weak for more competitiveness in regards to exports. The FED is already feeling the pressure of the tradewar but they keep insisting that they would keeping use\ing ''wait and see approach'' for interest rate cut or hold. TRUMP wants the FED to cut rates so as to make the USD weak. Major central banks have already started easing around the globe so as to combat the effects of the trade war with exception of the FED. Markets are pricing in the FED would reduce the rates by 120BP by end of 2020 but as of the moment the U.S economy seems to be in a pretty good state and FED are pleased with the current interest rates. However with the trade war's no end in sight, the U.S economy might start to loose steam and print negative/declining data in the coming months. If this happens the FED will start easing making the USD plunge against the SAFEHAVEN pairs. Many like to BUY and HOLD the USD because of its SAFEHAVEN status, therefore even if the FED cuts the interest rate to boost the economy in the future, the USD would not fall that much unless the economic data keeps on declining or a recession happens! Other SAFEHAVENS include the JPY &CHF currencies. These two FX currencies are the go to when RISK OFF mood dominates the market . However there is a catch behind buying and holding these two currencies. The central banks of both these countries (SNB & BOJ) prefer their currency to remain weak so as to keep their exports cheap and competitive. For this reason the central banks of both these FX currencies observe and act if needed to keep the currency from sliding or appreciating too much. All in all the go to SAFEHAVEN currencies have limited gain as their central banks tends to intervene. Talking about the YELLOW METAL, Who has the power to intervene here? practically no one,as its purely based on supply and demand characteristics and due to this there is a high potential of appreciation for yellow metal in RISK OFF environment. Since the beginning of the year, the price has sky rocketed and there is still a very likely high chance that it would keep climbing upwards. A better and safer way to trade this precious metal is step by step based on breach of certain resistance levels and the fundamental outlook of the health of global economy. Here in the main chart we see can the green horizontal lines which represent resistance levels and red horizontal lines which represent support, drawn from the monthly charts. Currently the price is stopped climbing at 1550.00 which is a concrete resistance yet to be broken on monthly TF. Should 1550.00 break (the monthly candle close above 1550.00) the next target would be 1750.00. Its looking highly likely that this level would be broken, at the moment the price is in consolidative phase as there is a hope of a trade deal looming. But markets are too smart to believe TRUMP and CHINA! Because just like before,this period represents the CALM before the STORM. In the coming weeks we would be able to see how are the negotiations proceeding and is a disagreement likely to happen again or not? unless a complete trade deal is struck and held by each side, we could see the yellow metal ascend pretty fast to 1750.00 and potentially beyond. For this particular scenario, we need to wait for the monthly candle to close above 1550.00 and then its safe and suggested to go LONG to target 1750.00 This just represents my outlook and analysis on this pair. shall a trade opportunity appear i will post it in a new thread. Cheers

AUSSIE Has Bottomed! For Now Atleast. Might Aim For 0.69500 Have a look at the snapshot above for AUDUSD weekly TF. It shows the support and resistance levels represented by red horizontal lines. At the moment the price HIT 0.67000 level and is bouncing around near that level, suggesting a BOTTOM or The support has been respected (well at least for now). The main chart, shows AUDUSD on daily TF where as you can see the daily candles have started to form a range. If this range gets broken the price would aim for daily 50 EMA. Now for this to happen we need the daily candle to breakout and close above the range (note: 4hr candle would provide an early signal but there are high chances that it may be a fakeout!). After the breakout happens and gets confirmed we can opt to take this pair LONG and target the daily 50 EMA. However trading such a volatile pair on daily TF is risky as it would trigger the SL or TP quickly due to unexpected news in the current fundamental market. Therefore sticking to the weekly TF is the best option and safest based on the current market situation. For those of you who are eager to take this trade on daily TF to target the DAILY EMA, please exercise caution and do it at your own risk! Now getting back to the technical picture, we need to see the daily candle close convincingly above the daily 50 EMA so we can opt to take this pair LONG towards the 0.695000 level where the descending line of the channel is present plus the WEEKLY 50 EMA. Fundamentally, we have seen the escalation of the tradewar which has heavy effects on the AUSSIE. However we have also seen that a china is ready to start talks again with the U.S giving some hopes to the market. Due to this reason i feel the AUSSIE can target 0.69500 and then from thereafter the free fall would begin again. Shall there be any updates about the trade entry, i will provide them in a new post. this just represents my analysis and outlook of this pair.

SPY Triple BottomPotential for a triple bottom on SPY. Depending on incoming news later tonight/tomorrow morning, I suspect a large move monday. Technicals would suggest that spy should be making a move upwards towards 293. If 293 rejects, then down we go again. If it breaks and retests as support, then we may make new highs. However, with the fear in the market, it is hard to say that's going to happen....except, "be greedy when others are fearful?"... Currently in a long straddle.

XAUUSD- possible plan XAUUSD has broken our key level of $1528-$1532. A close above $1535 is a bullish signal and may lead to fresh high. In the Asian session Gold clocked a high of $1555~ immediate sell zone occurs above that level however, it may not offer a good risk reward at this point. We continue to monitor as it goes ahead. A close below $1535 and near $1528 may signal a pull back scenario. The blue zone is marked on the chart for a potential buy set up. Fundamentally, we have been long precious metals. The risk in the markets thanks to Donald Trump, continue to rise. With uncertainties surrounding US-CHINA trade deal and upcoming Brexit on October 31st deadline (with increased possibility of no deal) means that there is no clear sign of risk going down and hence any pullbacks on Gold will offer buying opportunity.

USDJPY Weekly TF DEATH CROSS Confirmed! JPY Appreciation LikelyWhat is a Death Cross? The death cross is a technical chart pattern indicating the potential for a major selloff. The death cross appears on a chart when a stock/Currency's short-term moving average crosses below its long-term moving average. Typically, the most common moving averages used in this pattern are the 50-day and 200-day moving averages. The death cross indicator has proven to be a reliable predictor of some of the most severe bear markets of the past century: 1929, 1938, 1974, and 2008. Investors who got out of the stock market at the start of these bear markets avoided large losses that were as high as 90% in the 1930s. Because a death cross is a long-term indicator, as opposed to many short-term chart patterns such as the doji, it carries more weight for investors concerned about locking in gains before a new bear market gets underway. An increase in volume typically accompanies the appearance of the death cross. Source: www.investopedia.com Now as the definition of this rare EMA crossover has been defined as above, we can technically expect JPY appreciation in the near future, which might be sustained due to many fundamental factors. If this holds right, we could not only see USDJPY Plummet over the coming years but also many JPY related currencies particularly the EURJPY, AUDJPY & NZDJPY. The above snapshot is from USDJPY weekly TF which shows the occurrence of death cross signal, followed by continued decline of the USDJPY and recovery (golden cross). During the whole turmoil and the very start of the financial crisis back then, the death cross gave a strong signal of impending recession! The golden cross in 2013 was the sign of period of recovery in the markets as risk appetite returned and GOLD fell from multi year tops. A week ago the death cross has happened again. In the main chart as it could be seen, the EMA used are 50 and 200. A crossover has already been confirmed at this point, but ask yourself this; could this be a beginning of a long term downtrend? The answer to this question lies in the fundamental factors that are currently dictating the markets. The major factor here which is held accountable is the TRADE WAR!. For past one year this battle between the world's two largest economy has been going on with no end in sight, Furthermore things just seems to get worse as TRUMP is hell bent on reducing china imports into the U.S. The trade war has lead to the following things which has completely reshaped the financial markets: 1) U.S yield curve inversion has sparked the fear of recession forcing many to retreat to safehavens 2) Global slowdown resulting from the trade war, has forced many central banks to start an easing cycle of cutting interests rates 3) TRUMP is forcing The FED to cut interest rates aggressively in order to make USD weak and boost the economy FED has now completely changed their course to easing with predictions coming for a 120BP cuts by the of 2020. Should the FED cut rates to support the economy from a possible recession we could see the USDJPY plummet whereas should they keep defying TRUMP and hold the rates steady or cut less, we could see this pair being stubborn to drop. All in all its looking more likely that the FED would keep easing slowly which would see JPY appreciate. In other perspective, A global slowdown would hit NZD, AUD & EUR to such an extent that the JPY would gain stronger ground against all these three pairs compared to any other currency. This is just my outlook on the JPY futures based on current and past fundamentals and as of now all things are pointing towards JPY appreciation. A trade entry could only be made based on technical picture in correlation with the fundamental one. Currently the price is held within a long term triangle, once breached we could make an entry and aim for 101.00. Shall there be any updates i will provide them in a new thread. cheers

FED Rate Cut Outlook & TradeWar May Take SAFEHAVEN YEN TO 105.00INSTANT ENTRY AT AROUND: 107.350 LEVEL POSITION TYPE: SHORT STOP LOSS: 109.500 TAKE PROFIT: 105.00 RR: 1:1 SHALL THERE BE ANY UPDATES I WILL PROVIDE THEM IN THE THREAD BELOW. BENEATH YOU CAN FIND THE ANALYSIS BEHIND THIS TRADE SETUP As seen from the main chart, the weekly TF shows the price respected by a long term held triangle (black lines). The blue line represents another concrete trendline which was broken as the weekly candle closed comfortably outside the trendline. As of now the next support that lies is present at 105.00 level where the main triangle's lower trendline is present. So we can expect the price to make its way to that level in the coming weeks. On the fundamental perspective, the prospect of US interest rate cut has already sent the greenback tumbling against all major currencies. USDJPY is the most sensitive pairs of them all. Inevitably the FED would cut the interest this year and it might be two times potentially! although this event has not been priced in at 100% in the markets, the coming weeks may seem to reveal further USD weakness as the prospect of eventual rate cut gets priced in! Additionally, the trade war is not helping the greenback either against the yen, as any negative news or developments seems to favor traders rushing for safehaven yen. As said the coming weeks are crucial and will show clear picture as to where the price headed but at the moment the technical and fundamental picture are both in our favor.

Elliot Wave: EURUSD Is Ready For a Massive Bullish ReversalThe bears have been in control of EURUSD during most of 2018 and still maintaining the authority in 2019, as well. The EURUSD declined from its February 2018 high of 1.25534 to as low as 1.10310 in July 2019. The bears can be proud of the total gain of over 1500 pips they managed to achieve. Unfortunately, “no trend lasts forever.” After such an intense sell-off contentment can start to settle in. This can often be dangerous, especially since the evidence shows that a significant bullish reversal is around the corner. The weekly chart visualizes the entire behavior of the EURUSD’s since the low of 1.03428 in January 2017 into Elliott Wave context. The first significant reason not to join the bears right now is the completed bullish 5-3 wave cycle. The advance to 1.25569 can be seen as a five-wave impulse labeled 1-2-3-4-5. The sub-waves of wave 3 is also visible, and it’s also the most extended wave among the 1, 3, and 5. EURUSD Bears Are So Vulnerable Now The theory states that every impulse is followed by a correction of three waves in the opposite direction. Here, EURUSD seems to have drawn a textbook A-B-C zigzag correction with an ending diagonal in wave C. Once the corrective phase of the cycle is over, the larger trend resumes in the direction of the impulsive sequence. The second reason not to trust the bears is the fact that wave C is already retested the 61.8% Fibonacci level, where second waves often terminate. Besides, wave C also equal 0.618 of wave A, one of the characteristics of zigzag pattern And the third, but important evidence supporting the bullish thesis is that prices are rejecting the lower trend line and forming bullish price action signals. In conclusion, there is plenty of indication that the bears have been overstaying their welcome for a while now. If this analysis is correct, a notable bullish reversal can soon be expected in EURUSD. Given that wave (3/C)’s initial targets lie above the top of the wave (1/A), we think sellers should exercise extreme caution. What is your view on EURUSD? Let me know in the comment.

Go Short as NZDUSD Pullback Reaches Supply Zone - Good risk-off opportunity as NZDUSD pullback after larger-than-expected rate cut by RBNZ - Kiwi to be pressured by trade war - In contrast to the RBNZ, the Fed was not as dovish as expected This week we saw the RBNZ delivering a 0.5% rate cut, 0.25% more than what the market had estimated, and said that rates might go into negative territory. The kiwi plunged across the board but still managed to rebound slightly despite such surprise. But with such a shock and dovish message, I think it is hard for this pullback to sustain. Furthermore, trade tensions are apparently worsening since last week. This will add more downside pressure to risk-on currencies (AUD & NZD). On the other hand, the Fed delivered a mixed message last week which was not as dovish as anticipated. Until further news is released regarding the Fed's stance on rates, NZDUSD should continue its march downwards to around 0.6380-90.

FED vs. POTUS... who will push the dollar more? Find out on the next episode of Dragon Ball DXY... Or we could just guess with what we know now like any analyst. Expecting fed meeting minutes to state what the fed members are stating already, they believe the economy is still resilient and does not need too much expansionary policy, cuts above standard aren't necessary, etc. These statements will reassure many regional institutional investors who put faith in the FED and are confident in their outlook... but investors in other parts of the world who don't like the current leadership of the country or what said leadership is doing to economic relations may not feel the same. It's possible we could see similar unrest in the markets like last week depending on whatever tweet happens to be sent out between Thursday and Friday. While I believe were no where near a scenario where a 100bp cut is necessary, with bond yields inverting and Trump's war on China grinding the global economy, international outlook for the dollar may not be as optimistic. All the same I've drawn out a possible double top scenario I'm picturing as the dollar approaches exhaustion towards the upperside of its range and supply pressure increases from international investors searching for better options. Previous bearish analysis was invalidated so I'll be watching with a neutral perspective as I avoid the dollar this week. But I wouldn't be surprised to see an overall bearish move by end of the week.

Should We Ignore USDCAD Head & Shoulders?Reasons for buying USDCAD: - Disappointing Canadian employment data last Friday - Price bounced off both the demand zone and support trend line - Crude Oil Futures price rejected resistance trend line Last Friday, Canadian employment posted a huge drop and unemployment increased by 0.2% to 5.7%, both missing estimates by a wide margin. Despite this, the CAD still managed to maintain some strength, supported by the rise in oil prices. But at this point of time, the chart is showing that maybe, the market has not fully priced in the weak data yet. In the 4-hour USDCAD chart, we can see that the price plunged but bounced off the demand zone and support trend line after the US announced a delay to impose tariffs. Crude Oil Futures price also approached and rejected resistance trend line. Although the announcement on tariffs is a positive news, tariffs are still set to be imposed and not totally removed. The trade war has been creating a lot of volatility in the market, so we should always keep a lookout for the latest developments and manage risks accordingly. The head and shoulders pattern may form and play out, but I don't trade solely on chart patterns, that is why in this case, I will go long on the USDCAD.

TRADERSAI - A.I. Powered Model Trades for Today, THU 08/15The Doublespeak from China and our Politicians Driving the Markets Yo-Yo The naive and clueless policy-by-tweet politicians (not "leaders" - we seem to have no leadership anywhere anymore at this moment) driving our economic governance (or, lack thereof), and the cunning opponent's deeply strategic moves defining the trade war, investors are being left dazed and confused with the whiplashes the markets are experiencing of late. As we stated earlier this week, "tread (and, trade) carefully, leaving enough room for sudden spikes in either direction". Today is likely going to be yet another day of empty-headed tweets and headlines about the trade war feeding knee jerk moves in the markets. Of course, our job here is not to idly pontificate about politicians and leadership but to try to identify potential investment and trading opportunities emerging from their speech and actions.
