AUD/USD Started its Trend Reversal - Perfect Time to go SHORTIn this technical analysis on AUD/USD I will walk you through the recent things that happened to this pair, and I will explain you why I think a short position is most suitable right now. Also, I will explain the most logical entry position, take profit and stop loss.
On AUD/USD we have seen a fantastic recovery since the corona low at the end of March. Within just 3 months it grew a staggering 27%. However, now that it has reached the 0.700 level again we do see clear resistance.
This is a logical place to expect resistance as the price showed resistance here as well before. Since the first small bounce already happened, we can now confirm this resistance level. Together with a double-top like pattern we can expect the price to decrease again.
This confluence of trend reversal and horizontal resistance creates a high probability entry for a short position here on AUD/USD. For the entry position I suggest to simply enter as soon as possible since we have already seen the confirmation of the resistance zone.
For the take profit, the most logical place to put your first target is around the .65000 level as this is where the price struggled earlier.
For the stop loss, I would suggest a place slightly above the current resistance, for instance around 0.71000.

Guaranteed Profits with Classical Support and Resistance Set-Up!In this idea I will share a support and resistance trade set-up for USD/JPY. After it found a strong rejection at the 109.500 level the price rapidly found its way to the support zone of around 106.000.
Just like at the beginning of March, this zone created strong support and awoke many bulls again.
Now that the support zone got confirmed, I suggest a long position for the new week where we monetize the scenario of the price going back to the resistance zone.
For this trade I suggest to enter as soon as possible, so enter the trade wherever the price opens this week. The take profit is slightly below the resistance zone to maximize the chances of getting hit. For the stop loss, place it tightly below the support zone to make sure to leave this set-up when the pattern gets invalidated.
These trades using support and resistance levels, especially after a confirmed support zone, have a very high chance of success. If you use proper risk management and use the right stop loss, you will be able to earn a lot of money using these strategies. Obviously one cannot 100% guarantee the success of each individual trade, but you can make sure to enter those trades with higher success rate.

Is There Something Going On Here? And Some Deeper Thoughts The Dow
First thing I'm noticing is the red line seems to be the support on three occasions, with three distinct periods from 2018 where the DOW dropped to the red line and recovered.
2020 Corona crash has had a somewhat perplexing recovery, which to me defies absolutely all and any logic!
It's absurd the DOW has rallied like it has given the economic horror story that's unfolding and mass unemployment, none of it remotely makes any sense.
The absurdity of the recent gains on the questionable unverified results from Gilead shows that unless you're worth at least 8 figures, have wealthy connected family or friends then you shouldn't put your money in the markets at this point.
-----------------
Personal Thoughts & Musings
Is it setting up for another far steeper drop ? The logical brain of mine thinks that nothing lasts forever and infinite unending economic growth is impossible.
In history and in nature, nothing lasts forever!
The question is how long does this go on for ?
I think we are teetering on the edge of the end of the "20th century / American" era and truly the beginning of the 21st century era, much of the way things were will slowly come to an end in another 30-50 years memories of the 20th will be like the think of the 18-19th centuries today.
The defining moment that people will say the 20th century truly died is when Queen Elizabeth II passes in the near future.
USDINR #US #USD #UnitedStates #Indian #Rupee 60 minute #shortA bat pattern seem to be maturing on the last part of it's journey, from leg C to leg D.
Sell from 75.948 (approx) for a R/R of 2.08% on T.P 1.
Sell again from 75.948 (approx) for a R/R of 3.31% on T.P 2.
Thanks & good luck in all your trading.
USD/JPY Best Buy Positions While Trading in Strong UptrendIn this technical analysis I will explain my current view on USD/JPY and why I suggest a long position. Also, I will explain what good areas are to buy it now that we are in an uptrend.
USD/JPY has been in an uptrend for almost a full week now. This means that buying is becoming more and more tricky. Remember to always try to buy low and sell high.
This means that you wouldn't want to buy at the end of an uptrend. Especially if you look at the RSI right now we see an >> overbought << RSI with a value of over 70.
This is an indicator that you shouldn't want to buy right now, but instead sell. Since I expect the uptrend to continue overall, I do suggest to enter a long position. The only thing we need to figure out is where to buy now.
If we look at the channel, we see that the price is now trading towards the top of the channel. Combined with the overbought RSI I expect that the price will retrace slightly. If it does, this creates a really nice buy opportunity.
You can wait for the price to drop towards the lower part of the channel, but also if we look at horizontal support we see a nice S/R flip that can indicate an area to buy.
After the buy, you can either hold it for a long time to trade the trend all the way to the end, or exit quicker as soon as the price is near the top of the channel again.
I suggest to leave the trade sooner than later, since the whole world and especially the US has lots of uncertainty right now.

Will Hong Kong abandon the peg against the USD?Will Hong Kong abandon the peg against the USD? The financial hub of Asia, which connects the East to the West has been in the middle of pissing contest between the United States and China, not to mention their domestic struggle between them and China. If protests for autonomy in Hong Kong continue, and President Trump implements drastic foreign policy measures against Hong Kong, extreme capital outflows may ensue, forcing the Hong Kong Monetary Authority to abandon its peg on the U.S. dollar.
Could Donald Trump’s election woes force the Peg to break?
As the November Election edges nearer, President Donald Trump risks losing the presidency due to his mismanagement of the Coronavirus. David Rocke describes his reopening the American Economy as “gambling for resurrection.” A branch of game theory, which essentially states everything that the President is doing with regards to the Coronavirus is perfectly rational. He has two choices: He does nothing drastic, the death increase, therefore basically ensuring his loss in the election. Or he reopens the economy, maybe squashes the curve, and promotes that it was a success, giving him a higher chance of winning the election. If that doesn’t work, well, he was going to lose the election anyway. As the Jobless claims reached 41 Million yesterday, President Trump is losing the grip on the election. Desperation may be a giant risk for Hong Kong’s peg.
However, there is one thing the President has full control over – foreign policy. With a China conference set tomorrow, there a high possibility given his election chances that he implements drastic sanctions against Hong Kong to please his supporters. This is alongside Secretary Pompeo announcing that “It could no longer verify Hong Kong’s autonomy from China,” which gave it special trade exceptions with the U.S. This may put upwards pressure against the Hong Kong Dollar, which is pegged against the USD as the financial instability from the sanctions may cause extreme capital outflows. However, this alone may not cause a capital outflow, nor may the capital outflow force the peg to break. Hong Kong may impose restrictions on capital outflows for the time being.
History of the Hong Kong / U.S. Dollar Peg
As the financial hub connecting the West to the East, Hong Kong teased investors with its free-flowing capital policies, with a promise of financial stability and consistency. In 1983, the currency was pegged to the USD. This was due tp Concerns regarding the future of Hong Kong after 1997, when the handover of control from the British to China was set to take place. The rate at which the Hong Kong dollar was pegged to the U.S. Dollar has changed over time, however, for the past 37 years, it has remained pegged to the U.S. currency. For the past 12 years since the Great recession, Hong Kong has flourished being the brokers between the East and the West. The pegged currency gave the country stability when it came to trade and investors.
However, history shows that pegged currencies are disastrous in extreme conditions.
This was the case in the Thai Bhat in 1997 and the Argentinian Peso in 2000. In the case of the Thai Bhat, Thailand was experiencing high levels of growth from 1992 onwards as banks loosened restrictions, causing a lending boom and inflated real estate prices. However, from 1995 onward, growth slowed, with investors increasingly worrying about the returns on their investments. This caused a massive capital outflow out of Thailand, devaluing the Thai Bhat. The government tried to prop up the currency by using its allocated $38B USD foreign reserves. However, in half a year from the start of 1997, their foreign reserves dropped 93% to $2.65B before they stopped the regime. The That Bhat subsequently depreciated against the USD, from 25 to 52 Thai Bhat per $1 USD, effectively abandoning the peg between the Bhat and the USD.
Similarly, the Argentinian Peso shared the same fate
Argentina’s government was citing the control of inflation as the reason for the currency peg. However, a multitude of socioeconomic factors such as an increase in income inequality and external shocks driving interest rates higher would see Argentina’s growing economy stall. With the Peso pegged to the USD 1:1, there was pressure for Argentina to keep the peg as most of its debt was denominated in U.S. dollars. However, restrictions on withdraws of 1000 Pesos/USD dollars pushed the sitting President, and the Minister of Economy resigned. The new finance minister imposed a new exchange rate of 1.4 to 1 U.S. dollar, however, what sealed the abandoning of the peg was when “pesification” of all the accounts in Argentina – which changed every single dollar that was in USD to Peso. This saw an increase in demand for the U.S. dollar – increasing the exchange rate from 1.4 pesos to 1 USD to around 4 Peso to 1 USD. Currently, 1 U.S. Dollar sits at 68 Argentinian Pesos. – Further reading, “Convertibility Law”
What is the Catalyst for Hong Kong?
It will require a multitude of events to occur at the same time. The Hong Kong protests, for the most part, have been mainly domestic, with geopolitical parties watching from the sidelines. However, with China putting its foot down and enforcing national security law, the eyes of democracy have caught attention. President Trump stated that “we are not happy with China” with Larry Kudlow stating that China has made a “huge mistake” in passing the national security regarding Hong Kong. Carrie Lam, the Chief Executive of Hong Kong, assures Hong Kong citizens that the law will not undermine the freedom Hong Kong citizens face. However, she is on the side for the law passing, stating that “regrettably, the current legal system and enforcement mechanism for Hong Kong to safeguard national security are inadequate or even ‘defenseless.’ Despite returning to the Motherland for 23 years, Hong Kong has yet to enact laws to curb acts and activities that seriously undermine national security.”
Currently, Hong Kong’s Monetary Authority (HKMA) foreign reserve sits at around $441B U.S. dollar with Hong Kong using the Fed’s repo facility to its full advantage. The HKMA has the goal of pegging the currency between 7.75 – 7.85 HKD for 1 USD, and currently sits around the strong end of the band at 7.752 as the HKMA bolsters the strength of the HKD during the Coronavirus. This may be in anticipation of a devaluing in the currency because of the Coronavirus and domestic tensions.
Tensions are slowly picking up, putting pressure on the peg.
With the election on the horizon for Trump alongside China taking a strict stance against Hong Kong, fireworks may ensure as both sides battle it out. With Hong Kong directly in the firing line, all eyes are on what President Donald Trump imposes on Hong Kong tomorrow. The HKMA has enough foreign reserves to continue to prop up the HKD, given current circumstances. But the uncertainty with Hong Kong has finally started to settle in – not a feeling you want when your country was built on ensuring certainty and consistency within the Financial Markets. There is a chance that capital in Hong Kong talks themselves into pulling their money out of Hong Kong. If that occurs, the peg on the Hong Kong Dollar may serve the same fate as Thailand in 1997.
USDCAD IS BULLISH BY BUILDING WEDGE PATTERNThe forex rising wedge (also known as the ascending wedge) pattern is a powerful consolidation price pattern formed when the price is bound between two rising trend lines. It is considered a bearish chart formation which can indicate both reversal and continuation patterns
DAILFX.COM
DXY Rising Trendline Breakout ProbabilitiesThere is some issue regarding the dollar at this point. The devaluation could be in the process so far there are a lot of things behind but let's make it easier. If price breaks from this rising trendline lower It could lead price further lower indicating bearish domination. Expect S1 or S2 of weekly pivot if this breakout happens lower with strong momentum.
EURUSD Possible Short Term Rebound/Retracement UpwardRemembered this chart from my older idea? No much changes from the technical point of view but things do change around beyond technical and I just want to tell my good folks that I am a guy who go with the follow. Kinda like trend following trader you can take but I don't mean the overall reversal of trend on this major pair but just the personality I got during trading. It will be a foolish word to just say overall trend reversal as things need time to fully confirm the actual fact and it's not right time to say a pure reversal or not but I can say for now bearish have been weakening and we can see a slight retracement around 38.20% Fibonacci retracement level at least. If better who knows 50% can also be possible but the price will need to break the weekly pivot point level plus breakout beyond the falling trendline (red). Thanks for reading my idea and I hope you enjoyed and if you think it added some value in your trading don't forget to support me by hitting a thumbs up button! (LIKE)
USDJPY Retracement PossibilitiesWe have some room upward and technically this pair is trying to rebound from higher period SMA 200 RED (dynamic support). Fundamental wise we knew till this day that king didn't wanted to back off! I had earlier created a bullish bias idea on this major pair but I messed up with fast entry as overall I knew from the beginning this was mean to happen ( I mean the continuations upward). Dollar was hiding it's potential from the beginning and until it made mood to fall apart most of counter parts will suffer the pain I reckon.
EURUSD BEARISH My analysis The dollar is the strongest currency with the strongest economy behind it. However due to recent NFP there has been a significant loss of jobs in the industry over 700k which is to be expected to be more in April NFP this due to the Virus pandemic which slows growth of all economies as its affecting all around the world. Worst Cases are Currently in USA with over 250k cases and the world total of a million Cases. We are currently waiting on the news for Eur Factory Orders which is on Monday. We can see patterns in this chart so i will be going short.
30 Days Later – Italy vs. USAs the Coronavirus continues to spread throughout the globe without any cure or treatment, researchers have been left with nothing but data to help predict and counter the disease. This being a novel virus, even our data sets are tremendously lacking.
We must make do with what we have, and 4 months into this global pandemic it seems that Italy has been taking the blunt of this disease; Creating a benchmark for other countries to compare.
There are numerous articles out there comparing the United States to Italy, many of which only compare the total number of cases. Based on that factor alone, the US is in far worse shape than Italy being approximately 8 days behind on the outbreak.
At the time of writing this article, Italy is at 110,574 cases while the US is nearly doubled at 209,071 cases of the COVID-19 virus.
Comparing the two countries should not end at the total number of cases. There are far more ways to analyze the available data to see how the United States and other countries compare using Italy as a precedent.
Population Factors
One of the largest factors to consider are the two counties populations. Italy’s population is ~60.5 million people while the United states is over 5 times the size at about ~330 million. Right there you can see that comparing the two countries based on the number of cases is not enough. The case comparison above shows the total percentage of the country’s population affected by the coronavirus. Offsetting Italy by 8 days, you will see that the United States is fairing much better when it comes to the total percentage of the population affected. Using Italy as a precedent, Day 33 of the outbreak Italy was at 0.123% of their total population infected, while the United States was at 0.074%. Today Italy is at 0.19%.
Transmission Rate
Based on the total percentage of the population, the data shows that Italy is in far worse shape than the United States. However, this could change at any time based on how quickly the disease is spreading throughout each country and how each country manages the spread. The Transmission Rate is generated by the number of new cases each day compared to the day before. Looking at transmission rate data above, you can see that the United States has been greatly higher than Italy over the last two weeks. Though the US transmission rate seems to be dropping a considerable rate, it is still at 14.1% compared to Italy’s 4.2% which seems to be leveling off. Getting this factor as low as possible will be key to controlling the spread around the globe.
Breaking the data down, the chart below shows the number of new COVID-19 cases, recoveries, and deaths per day between Italy and the United States. Looking at this data we can determine that Italy’s number of new cases seems to be dropping each day from their peak on March 22. This shows that the measures the country is taking to battle the Coronavirus could be working. IF the United States similar measures as Italy, they should start to see a decline in the number of transmissions per day. “Flattening the curve” to say.
Mortality Rate
One of the scariest data sets to compare is the COVID-19’s mortality rate. Currently the United States has a 2.55% mortality rate which is well below the global average of 5.23%. These factors are based on confirmed cases and deaths. Italy, however, is at a whopping 12.25% mortality rate. Meaning more than 1 out of 10 people who contract the disease is expected to die. The most chilling thing about this is that all three averages have been increasing each day. Clearly after seeing these values we can see that the United States is fairing off much better than Italy for the time being. Knowing this, there are three major factors to consider:
This data is based on ‘Confirmed’ cases and deaths. Meaning there could be numerous positive COVID-19 cases that have not been tested.
Italy’s median age is significantly higher than the United States. Unfortunately, this disease is known to target older, immuno-compromised adults.
The United States is 8 days behind Italy, meaning only a small percentage of the current Covid-19 cases have had time to mature enough to result in an outcome. Therefore it is possible to see a sudden increase in this value.
Recovery Rate
This data is petrifying, however, there is some light at the end of the tunnel. Recovery rates around the world are on the rise. Currently it is estimated to take 2-3 weeks to recover from this disease, meaning the current data available is only a small reflection of what has yet to come. The chart below shows both Italy and the United States’ recovery rates as of today. Italy being 8 days ahead of the US, has a significantly higher recovery rate. Within the coming months I expect both values to increase greatly, better reflecting true recovery rate of COVID-19.
I would like to thank TradingView for making the COVID-19 data available on their platform. This has allowed script writers like myself to break the data down, analyze, and share information through this global pandemic.
During this global pandemic, there is limited information available on the COVID-19 disease itself. However one thing we do have is data; and we get more of this every day.
The indicator referenced in this article will be made available to the public so that you can tract this data in real time. You will find it under the scripts tab on my profile page.
*Case comparison is based on the previous days data.
What's the next move for USDJPY?Hey everyone,
as you can see on the chart, USDJPY is at a decent resistance, accompanied by 50 MA and the Gann fan.
To me, this signals that we will soon see it bounce off either from our resistance area or the FIb Level, which I believe is more likely.
(Also, just a disclaimer, I will try my best to keep you guys updated as if the uptrend is too hard we might form a W shape as well)
Feel free to leave your feedback below
(not a signal btw, just analysis)
cheers,

EURUSD Probabilities Of RetracementIt can be a retracement finally after a long swing upward couple of days past due to the US under pressure from Covid-19. This might be changing positively slowly as the representative of the state is focusing on the comeback against the pandemic and they have already run much stimulus program for their economy prevention. Can't say it may be fully reversal but there could be some side effect on the currency after they have taken some control over the outbreak which may temporarily change the market sentiment.
USD vs. CAD (NEW PATTERN)The USD price appreciation building up in the USDCAD pair has not yet unfolded, but when it does it will be a nice long USD trade (or short the CAD trade). Previously we identified a bullish flag on the weekly and monthly chart, but it looks like the flag is shaped a bit differently now that 2019 is behind us. Here are the new technical levels to watch. At the moment price seems to be transitioning from one trap zone to the next trap zone, but the battle lines are now clearly drawn. There will likely be some nice bullish action in this pair by the end of 2020, so don't forget to bookmark it!
