[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font]Silver Technical Analysis for August 12, 2016.


Technical outlook and chart setups:

Silver is seen to be trading at $19.95/20.00 levels for now, after having tested $19.80 levels yesterday. The metal also looks to be consolidating (triangle) and seems to be in its last leg drop as shown here. If the above wave count holds true and silver breaks above the resistance line of consolidation at $20.40/50 levels, the metal would push further towards $21.13 levels going forward. It is recommended to book profits on short positions taken earlier and turn bullish with risk below $19.40 levels. Immediate interim support is seen at $19.45 levels, while resistance is at $20.50 levels respectively. Bulls should be poised to remain in control, till prices stay above $19.45 levels going forward.

Trading recommendations: Book profits on short positions taken earlier. Turn bullish now, stop at $19.40, target is open.

Good luck!

Technical analysis of USD/CHF for August 15, 2016

USD/CHF is expected to trade with bearish bias as key resistance at 0.9785. The pair is posting some rebound and just broke above its 20-period and 50-period moving averages. Nevertheless, 0.9785 represents a significant key resistance level, which should limit the upside potential. Even though a continuation of technical rebound cannot be ruled out, its extent should be limited.On the economic front, the U.S. Commerce Department reported that July retail sales were little changed in July as compared to June (vs. +0.4% expected). Excluding cars, sales declined 0.3% (vs. +0.1% expected). Another report showed that U.S. producer-price index (PPI) dropped 0.4% on month in July (vs. +0.1% expected), the biggest decline in almost a year.

As long as 0.9785 is not broken, the pair is likely to return to 0.9725. A break below this level would open the way to further weakness toward the next support at 0.9705.

Resistance levels: 0.9805, 0.9845, 0.9905

Support levels: 0.9725, 0.9705, 0.9690

Technical analysis of USD/CHF for August 17, 2016

Overview:

As expected the USD/CHF pair continues to move downwards from the level of 0.9684. Yesterday, the pair dropped from the level of 0.9684 (this level of 0.9684 is coincides with the ratio of 38.2% Fibonacci retracement) to the support around 0.9621. Today, the first resistance level is seen at 0.9684 followed by 0.9735, while daily support 1 is seen at 0.9621. Hence, if the pair fails to pass through the level of 0.9621, the market will indicate a bearish opportunity below the new support level of 0.9621 (23.6% Fibonacci). Moreover, the RSI starts signaling a downward trend, as the trend is still showing strength below the moving average (100). Thus, the market is indicating a bearish opportunity below 0.9621, so it will be good to sell at 0.9621 with the first target of 0.9571. It will also call for a downtrend in order to continue towards 0.9520. The daily strong support is seen at 0.9520. However, the stop loss should always be taken into account, for that it will be reasonable to set your stop loss at the level of 0.9735. According to the previous events, the USD/CHF pair is still moving between the levels of 0.9680 and 0.9520; for that we expect a range of 160 pips.

Intraday technical levels and trading recommendations for GBP/USD for August 18, 2016

Since January 2016, bullish persistence above 1.4500 was mandatory to maintain enough bullish strength in the market.

However, the previous weekly candlesticks maintained their bearish persistence below the depicted weekly supply zone (below 1.4470), which allowed further bearish decline to occur.

The prominent demand level located at 1.3845 (historical bottom that goes back to March 2009) provided a significant bullish rejection and a bullish engulfing weekly candlestick on February 26.

Bullish fixation above 1.4670 allowed further bullish advancement initially towards 1.4950 (Weekly Supply) where significant bearish rejection was expressed.

The price zone between 1.3845 and 1.3550 (Historical bottoms in January 2009) was considered a significant demand zone to be watched for bullish recovery.

However, by the end of June, a significant bearish breakdown below 1.3550 was expressed as seen on the depicted charts.

Bearish persistence below the demand level at 1.3550 enhances the bearish scenario towards 1.2700 (the nearest bearish projection target) where price action should be watched for a possible short-term BUY entry.

On the other hand, the price zone of 1.3845-1.4040 now constitutes the recent supply zone to be watched for new SELL entries if any bullish pullback extends above 1.3550.

Silver Technical Analysis for August 19, 2016.


Technical outlook and chart setups:

Silver is seen to be trading at $19.63 levels at this moment, looking to continue pushing higher towards $20.50/80 levels at least. The wave structure reveals that Silver has been consolidating in an expended triangle structure, as seen on chart view here. Furthermore, please also note that the metal looks to have completed 5 waves within the triangle, indicating that it is complete. If this holds true, the metal should resume its last leg rally (wave 5) towards $20.80/21.00 levels going forward. The metal is expected to remain in control of bulls, till prices stay above $19.20/30 levels. It is hence recommended to remain long now, with stop below $19.25. Immediate resistance is seen at $20.50/80 levels, while support is at $19.25 levels respectively.

Trading recommendations:

Remain short for now, stop below $19.25; target is $20.50/80.

Good luck!

Technical analysis of EUR/USD for August 22, 2016

Overview:

The EUR/USD pair:

The price spot of 1.1326 - 1.1362 remains a significant resistance zone. Therefore, a possibility that the EUR/USD pair will have downside momentum is rather convincing and the structure of a fall does not look corrective. In order to indicate a bearish opportunity below the level of 1.1326 - 1.1362. So, the resistance levels are seen at 1.1326 and 1.1362. Amid the previous events, the pair is still in a downtrend. From this point, the EUR/USD pair is continuing in a bearish trend from the new resistance of 1.1362 (first resistance). Therefore, sell below 1.1326 with the first target at the 1.1250 level. ALso, it should be noted that the daily pivot point is seen at the price of 1.1250. Additionally, if the EUR/USD pair is able to break out the pivot at 1.1250, the market will decline further to 1.1182 in order to test the weekly support 2. However, the stop loss should be located above the level of 1.1362.

Silver Technical Analysis for August 24, 2016.

Technical outlook and chart setups:

Silver is seen to be trading around $18.93 levels at this moment, after forming lows at $18.70 levels earlier this week. Please note that the metal has produced a regular flat as wave 4 consolidation. It might push lower below $18.70 levels one last time before turning bullish again. Furthermore, the metal has bounced from fibonacci 0.382 levels of the entire rally between $15.70 and $21.13 levels respectively. If this count holds true, the metal should resume its last leg rally (wave 5) towards $20.80/21.00 levels going forward. The metal is expected to remain in control of bulls, till prices stay above $18.60/70 levels. It is hence recommended to remain long now, with stop below $18.25 levels.

Trading recommendations: Remain long for now, stop below $18.25, target $20.80 and above $21.13.

Technical analysis of USDX for August 25, 2016

The Dollar index is holding above the trend line support at 94-94.20 but has not showed much strength in order to overcome cloud resistance at 94.90-95.30. A rejection here and a break below 94.20 will bring in more sellers that will eventually push price towards 93.

Blue line - trend line support Red line - trend line resistance Price is below the Ichimoku cloud and trapped between the red and blue trend lines. Support is at 94.30-94.20 while resistance is at 95-95.30. Short-term trend is neutral as price has been moving mainly sideways for the last couple of days.

Green line - weekly trend line support

Price is holding above the weekly trend line support. A break below 94.18 will be a bearish sign. With stochastics turning lower from overbought levels and price below the weekly cloud, chances favor the bearish scenario and a downward break for the Dollar index. All we need to do is be patient and wait to see if support fails.

Technical analysis of USD/CAD for September 1, 2016

General overview for 01/09/2016:

The clear bearish divergence supports the view, that the top is in place and now a correction should develop. This means the recent rally might be either wave 3 of the bullish progression or wave c purple of a more complex and time-consuming corrective cycle of a higher degree. Any violation of the intraday support at the level of 1.2965 will invalidate the impulsive bullish scenario.

Support/Resistance:

1.2777 - WS2

1.2831 - Wave 2/b Bottom

1.2907 - WS1

1.2958 - Weekly Pivot

Technical analysis of USD/CHF for September 02, 2016

Overview:

The USD/CHF pair continues to move downwards from the level of 0.9861. Yesterday, the pair dropped from the level of 0.9861 to the bottom around 0.9762. But the pair has rebounded from the bottom of 0.9762 to close at 0.9800. Today, the first support level is seen at 0.9762, the price is moving in a bearish channel now. Furthermore, the price has been set below the new support at the level of 0.9762, which coincides with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level. This support has been rejected several times confirming the veracity of a downtrend. Additionally, the RSI starts signaling a downward trend. As a result, if the USD/CHF pair is able to break out the first support at 0.9792, the market will decline further to 0.9744 in order to test the daily support 2. Consequently, the market is likely to show signs of a bearish trend. So, it will be good to sell below the level of 0.9744 with the second target at 0.9695 and further to 0.9635. However, stop loss is to be placed above the level of 0.9861.

Technical analysis of EUR/USD for September 05, 2016

Overview:

The EUR/USD pair movement was controversial as it took place in a narrow sideways channel, the market showed signs of instability. Amid the previous events, the price is still moving between the levels of 1.0949 and 1.1363 this week. Also, the daily resistance and support are seen at the levels of 1.1363 and 1.0949 respectively. Therefore, it is recommended to be cautious while placing orders in this area. So, we need to wait until the sideways channel has completed. last week, the market moved from its top at 1.1363 and continued to fall towards the bottom of 1.1156. Today, in the four-hour chart, the current drop will remain within a framework of correction. Moreover, the resistance is seen at the levels of 1.1274 - 1.1363 (the level of 1.1363 coincides with the double top too). If the pair fails to pass through the first level of 1.1274, the market will indicate a bearish opportunity below the first resistance level of 1.1274. Since there is nothing new in this market, it is not bullish yet. In the long term, sell deals are recommended below the level of 1.1274 with the first target at 1.1046. If the trend breaks the support level of 1.1046, the pair is likely to move downwards continuing the development of a bearish trend to the level 1.0949 in order to test the double bottom in the H4 time frame.

Technical analysis of Gold for September 6, 2016

Gold price action was very quiet yesterday mainly because of the holiday in the US and the closed markets. Gold price could have very well started its next leg up towards $1,400 but this scenario will be more valid on a break above $1,350.

Black line - resistance trend line

Gold price is inside the 4-hour cloud resistance area. Gold price has short-term resistance at $1,330-40. A break above it will open the way for a re-test of the highs. Support is at $1,315. A break below it will open the way for a push towards $1,280 and lower.

Blue lines -bullish channel

The weekly candles in Gold show me that there are now increased chances of a multi-week bounce towards our previous highs. Last week's candle is a bullish hammer and if we see a strong follow through then the highs will be challenged. Weekly support is at $1,280 and has not been reached. A new low in Gold will not cancel the bullish scenario but with everyone expecting $1,280 it is no surprise that Gold did not eventually reach that level.

The projected target for wave b purple is recently violated the golden trend line zone, just above the intraday resistance at the level of 1.2886.

Daily analysis of GBP/USD for September 09, 2016

According to the H1 chart, GBP/USD is rebounding above the 200 SMA, and we can see a rally towards the highs from the September 6th session. Currently, the overall bullish structure remains alive, as the pair, in terms of price action, has been performing in favour of respecting the key supports.

Technical analysis of USDX for September 14, 2016

The Dollar index continued to rise yesterday but price remains below critical resistance and inside the triangle pattern. I expect the Dollar to be under pressure today as price got rejected at the 95.65 level where the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the latest decline is found.

Black line - trend line resistance

Blue line - trend line support

The Dollar index reached the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement but remains inside the triangle pattern. Price moved above the Ichimoku cloud but with oscillators at overbought short-term levels I see little potential to move to the upside.

Technical analysis of Gold for September 15, 2016

Gold price continues to trade inside the short-term downward sloping channel but still remains above critical medium-term support of $1,300. Short-term trend will change to bullish if price breaks above $1,333. A break below $1,300 will open the way for a push towards $1,180-$1,200.

Red lines - bearish channel

Blue lines - sideways trading range

Gold price is below the Ichimoku cloud on the 4-hour chart, inside the bearish channel but also inside the blue trading range. Only a break below $1,300 and above $1,360 could start a new trend for Gold. Until then we buy close to support and sell near resistance.

On the above daily chart, you can see that Gold is trading right above the 38% Fibonacci retracement of the rise from $1,200 to $1,375, and is also between the 61.8% and 78.6% Fibonacci support levels of the rise from $1,300 to $1,353. We are at currently at a critical juncture. I prefer long positions with $1,300 as stop.

Daily analysis of GBP/USD for September 16, 2016

Despite the BoE's meeting held during Thursday's session, the Cable remains capped by the resistance level of 1.3258, where is also the 200 SMA located on H1 chart. We're expecting that a breakout can push the pair higher towards the 1.3360 level, while a pullback can drive the pair to test the support zone of 1.3116. MACD indicator is entering positive territory, supporting a bullish run on a short-term basis.


H1 chart's resistance levels: 1.3258 / 1.3360

H1 chart's support levels: 1.3116 / 1.3037

Trading recommendations for today: Based on the H1 chart, buy (long) orders only if the GBP/USD pair breaks a bullish candlestick; the resistance level is at 1.3258, take profit is at 1.3360 and stop loss is at 1.3155.

Technical analysis of USD/CAD for September 19, 2016

General overview for 19/09/2016:

The current situation at this pair is that straightforward and the main count is evolving towards another complex corrective structure, possibly triple-three pattern. The intraday count still suggests a deeper decline towards the level of 1.3030 and then a possible rebound higher. The intraday resistance at the level of 1.3252 is still the key level for bulls and any break higher will immediately invalidate current wave developments.

Support/Resistance:

1.3252 - Intraday Resistnace

1.3178 - Weekly Pivot

1.3124 - Intraday Support

1.3106 - WS1

1.3030 - Techncial Support

1.2962 - WS2

Trading recommendations:

Technical analysis of USDX for September 21, 2016

The Dollar index continued its uptrend after back testing broken resistance yesterday. Price is in a bullish short-term trend and is now approaching important long- and medium-term resistance levels. With the central banks of Japan, USA and Europe tomorrow on the wires, the Dollar index will surely get some increase in volatility.

Black line - horizontal resistance

Blue line - long-term support trend line

Green line - short-term support trend line

The Dollar index continues to make higher highs and higher lows. Price is testing horizontal resistance at 96.30. Support is at 95.60. If this level is broken we should expect price to move towards the blue trend line support currently around 94.90.

The Dollar index is below the weekly cloud. Another rejection here will be a bearish sign for the Dollar index and will increase the chances of breaking below the green trend line support. Resistance is at 96.55. Support is at 94.70 on a weekly basis. Important to see how this week closes. Will it make a lower high and reverse lower or will it break above the cloud resistance?

Technical analysis of USD/CHF for September 22, 2016

Overview:

As expected the USD/CHF pair continues to move downwards from the areas of 0.9753 and 0.9733. Yesterday, the pair dropped from the level of 0.9753 to 0.9688. The price of 0.9753 coincides with a ratio of 61.8% Fibonacci on the H4 chart. Today, resistance is seen at the levels of 0.9733 and 0.9753. So, we expect the price to set below the strong resistance at the levels of 0.9733 and 0.9753; because the price is in a bearish channel now. Amid the previous events, the price is still moving between the levels of 0.9753 and 0.9648.In overall, we still prefer the bearish scenario as long as the price is below the level of 0.9753. Furthermore, if the USD/CHF pair is able to break out the bottom at 0.9688, the market will decline further to 0.9648 in order to test the double bottom in the H1 time frame. hence, the price will fall into a bearish trend in order to go further towards the strong support at 0.9648 to test it again. The level of 0.9648 will form a double bottom. On the other hand, if the price closes above the strong resistance of 0.9753, the best location for a stop loss order is seen above 0.9760.

Technical analysis of GBP/JPY for September 23, 2016

GBP/JPY is expected to trade with a bullish bias above 131.05. The pair is consolidating but is still trading above its rising 50-period moving average, which plays support role and maintains the upside bias. A support base has formed around 112.60, which should limit the downside potential. The relative strength index is around its neutrality level at 50 and lacks downward momentum. As long as 131.05 holds on the downside, the pair is likely to post a technical rebound toward 132.45. A break above this level would call for further advance toward 133.25.

The pair is trading above its pivot point. It is likely to trade in a wider range as long as it remains above its pivot point. Therefore, long positions are recommended with the first target at 132.45 and the second one at 133.25. In the alternative scenario, short positions are recommended with the first target at 130.40 if the price moves below its pivot points. A break of this target is likely to push the pair further downwards, and one may expect the second target at 130.00. The pivot point is at 131.05.

Resistance levels: 132.45, 133.25, 134.75

Support levels: 130.40, 130.00, 129.25

Technical analysis of Gold for September 26, 2016

Gold price has made a new short-term lower low at $1,333 and a lower high at $1,341. Price remains above $1,330 the consolidation range before the high at $1,344. On a medium-term trend basis trend remains neutral as price is still trapped inside the trading range.

Red line - short-term resistance

Green line -short-term support

Price is trading in a trading range both on a short- and medium-term basis. In the short-term 1 hour chart as shown above, price is trapped between $1,330 and $1,340. A break of either of these two levels will begin a new short-term trend that could either challenge $1,344 or $1,316-20.

Red lines - trading range

Price is found on the daily chart inside the Kumo (cloud) implying trend is neutral. This is confirmed by the fact that price is also inside the red sideways channel for the last couple of months. Price got rejected at the upper cloud boundary. Important resistance is at $1,352 while support is at $1,300. I remain longer-term bullish but a rejection and a new lower low here will most probably bring price back to $1,300.
