Crude Oil at critical juncture – might make a bearish reversalFor more details and background please read my article on Long Term Analysis of Oil published recently at www.talkmarkets.com OPEC meeting is schedule on Thursday the 30th November 2017. It is widely anticipated that OPEC members and other cooperating oil producing nations will agree an extension of the production cut beyond March 2018. It remains to be seen if they will and in what form. Any disappointment could be a big catalyst in which the saying “buy the rumour and sell the news” might hold true. Please see the accompanying charts and comments in the update section below. Conclusion: If the reversal of price is confirmed, then it could offer several ways of taking bearish position either directly OR Oil related Stocks and ETFs. Warning: This is my interpretation of price action using TA approach that I consider helps me most but could be completely wrong. Therefore as always, do your own analysis for your trade requirement and ignore my views. For those who appreciate my analysis, select to follow me and the chart for notification of future updates.

GBPUSD - Time for another move higher?Price has been falling since late September from the high at 1.3658 to the recent low around 1.3257 area. Based on our analysis, this recent fall seems to be a corrective down move, potentially a 4th wave of a 5-wave structure. With price finding some minor support between 1.3162 to 1.3257 (a fibonacci confluence between the 61.8 and 50 level), we are now looking for the opportunity to take a long trade for the 5th wave up to complete the overall cycle.

Draghi wants weak Euro? Lets' do itThe verbal intervention of San Francisco FRB head John Williams has offset dovish July Fed Minutes, underpinning dollar growth. The dollar went on the offensive after the policymaker’s statement that the Fed is halfway to normalizing rates and additional stimulus should be gradually "taken out of the game." This is the second positive assessment of the economic situation in the US from representatives of the Fed, but the division of regulator members into two camps allows for lingering uncertainty while shaping clear forward guidance for markets. It should be noted that Williams does not have the right to vote in FOMC, so he allows himself to make more open statements about how the regulator should act. The Fed's report, published on Wednesday, once again underscored the regulator's concern over the slowdown in inflation in the second quarter. However, this became clear already in the Fed meeting in June, so there were little clues to induce action. A relatively tepid assessment of the protocol reflects strengthening of the dollar and upswing in yields of US fixed-income market on Thursday. It is obvious that the focus shifts to the rhetoric of the Fed policymakers and the next trigger for the changes will be Janet Yellen's speech at the annual symposium of the Fed in Jackson Hole. In Euro trading, investors, who made their bet on ECB tightening are putting up great resistance. However, in vain. The recent weakening of the dollar in the medium-term and the positive assessment of Mario Draghi's recovery of the euro area allowed EURUSD to strengthen significantly, but there were no clear signals on the transition to tightening from the ECB. Even on the contrary, Draghi tried to dissuade them to buy the euro, especially after a statement at the last meeting that restrictive measures has not been included in the topics for discussion. Data on inflation in the euro area showed that in July, the aggregate price gains remained at the level of 1.3%, tallying with the forecasts. Correction for the pair has already overcome the 1.17 mark and is actively looking for catalysts for its development. One of them was the protocol of the June meeting of the ECB. As noted in yesterday's analytical note, the interests of the ECB clearly does not include a strong currency, what was confirmed today. The protocol says that "although it was noted that strengthening of the euro today reflects a fundamental change in relation to the rest of the world, there are risks that the rate may overshoot in future." The protocol also included a favorite wording about the need for "incremental" changes while conducting the policy, since the discrepancy in what was "promised" to the public with what the economy requires can be very painful to put up together. "In other words, the ECB calls on investors to correct their optimism, and correction of the exchange rate, which is actually happening now. In this light, Draghi's reluctance to comment on the timing of quitting QE in Jackson Hole looks quite logical. Pound sterling accelerated decline after the release of data on retail sales, which showed a significant curtailment of consumer spending by the British. Positive dynamics showed only food products, otherwise residents of Foggy Albion turned to saving greatly. As can be seen the decline in purchasing power due to the "discord" of inflation and wages has made itself felt. The forecasts that such a dynamic will characterize the consumer even in 2018 severely undermines the Bank of England's chances of raising rates and can create a savings problem: by increasing the share of savings in disposable income, consumers will fall prey to their own consumer sentiment, slowing down further economic growth. The disappointment of investors was reflected in the growth of short positions on the pound, GBPUSD fell to 1.2860, forming a corridor for further decline. Arthur Idiatulin, Tickmill Market Watcher

GBP/USD 4H Chart: Channel UpGBP/USD 4H Chart: Channel Up The British Pound is advancing against the American Dollar simultaneously in senior and junior ascending channels, where the latter represents a rebound of the currency exchange rate from the lower trend-line of the dominant formation. In the last hours of Monday’s trading session the pair made a second rebound from the bottom edge of the junior channel. For this reason, the rest of the week the rate is expected to spend in the gradual climb to the top. However, in order to do that, it will have to bypass a combination of the 20- and 100-period SMAs as well as the monthly PP at 1.3084. Without a proper impulse provided by fundamental events the Pound might at this resistance level for some time. Aggregate technical indicators supports this possibility by sending neutral and even sell signals.

GBPUSD clean shorthey traders! Here we have a clean short setup on the GBPUSD pair. Price has touched previous resistance for a third time and will be looking for a move south. Price is also in the 61.8% fib retracement area. As you can see my 10MA has passed my 20MA signal which is a strong sign of a reversal. Price has already made a sell off move on my RSI indicator and has bounced off 70% over bought signal. Be weary as price has bounced off this resistance area before, I would only enter a trade after price has moved below previous low. first TP level: 1.2250 where there is some clear structure, price could bounce a little. Second TP level: 1.2000 where there is also some clear structure and hopefully continue south as we're in an overall downtrend. Good luck!

GBPJPY LONG TRADE SETUPHi everyone: Looks like we might get a long trade opportunity on GBPJPY in the up coming days. WE can see that the 4 hr chart has broken out of the resistance trend line, and made a new high. If the price action can pullback and form a higher low, it would be a nice risk:reward entry up to the next resistance area. Wait for a nice rejection, confirming the higher low and trend change before entering the long position. Thank you for your support and feedback.
