USD/JPY: the pair is trading in both directions 31.08.2020

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

NPBFX offers the latest release of analytics on USD/JPY for a better understanding of the current market situation and more efficient trading.

Current trend

The US dollar is actively growing against the Japanese yen today, compensating for the sharp drop at the end of last week. Then the yen showed active growth and retreated from two-week lows in response to the resignation of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who decided to leave the post due to deteriorating health. The demand for the Japanese currency rose markedly, as analysts suggested the beginning of a possible repatriation of capital due to the sharply increased political uncertainty.

This week, the yen is pressured by the ambiguous macroeconomic statistics. Retail sales in July decreased by 3.3% MoM and 2.8% YoY, which turned out to be significantly worse than the market forecasts of +8% MoM and +2.4% YoY. Industrial output contracted by 16.1% YoY in July after falling by 18.2% YoY last month. MoM, the indicator rose by 8%, sharply accelerating from the previous value of +1.9%.

Support and resistance

Bollinger Bands in the D1 chart demonstrate a gradual decrease. The price range is narrowing from above, reflecting a sharp change of trend in the short term. MACD is going down having formed a weak sell signal (histogram is located under the signal line). Stochastic is declining more actively and is currently rapidly approaching its minima.

The current showings of the indicators do not contradict the further development of the downtrend in the short and/or ultra-short term.

Resistance levels: 105.67, 106.00, 106.46, 106.79.

Support levels: 105.29, 105.00, 104.50, 104.17.

Trading tips

To open long positions, one can rely on the breakout of 105.67. Take profit – 106.30. Stop-loss – 105.35.

A confident breakdown of 105.29 may serve as a signal to further sales with the target at 104.70. Stop-loss – 105.67.

Implementation period: 2-3 days.

EUR/USD: EUR is corrected 02.09.2020

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

NPBFX offers the latest release of analytics on EUR/USD for a better understanding of the current market situation and more efficient trading.

Current trend

EUR is trading in both directions against USD during today's Asian session, consolidating at 1.1900. EUR retreated from its record highs since May 2018 and the important psychological level of 1.2000, responding to the emergence of not the most confident macroeconomic statistics from Europe yesterday. Core Consumer Price Index in the euro zone slowed down in August from 1.2% YoY to 0.4% YoY, which turned out to be noticeably worse than market expectations at 0.9% YoY. Consumer Price Index for the same period fell by 0.2% YoY, while investors expected its growth by 0.2% YoY. Unemployment Rate in the euro area in July rose from 7.7% to 7.9%, which was only 0.1% better than the forecasts.

In turn, USD received some support after the publication of statistics from the US on business activity from ISM. Today, traders are focused on the US ADP report on Employment Change in August, as well as the monthly economic review, the Fed's Beige Book.

Support and resistance

In the D1 chart, Bollinger Bands are reversing horizontally. The price range expands slightly from above, indicating that "bullish" momentum may persist in the short term. MACD is reversing downwards forming a new sell signal (trying to consolidate below the signal line). Stochastic demonstrates similar dynamics, reversing downwards at the level of "80".

Resistance levels: 1.1914, 1.1964, 1.2000.

Support levels: 1.1881, 1.1850, 1.1780, 1.1700.

Trading tips

To open long positions, one can rely on the rebound from the support level of 1.1881, with the subsequent breakout of 1.1914. Take-profit – 1.2000. Stop-loss – 1.1870.

The breakdown of 1.1881 may serve as a signal to new sales with the target at 1.1820. Stop-loss – 1.1914.

Implementation time: 2-3 days.

Brent Crude Oil: oil prices decline 04.09.2020

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

NPBFX offers the latest release of analytics on Brent Crude Oil for a better understanding of the current market situation and more efficient trading.

Current trend

Today during the Asian session, oil prices are showing ambiguous dynamics, consolidating near the level of 43.00. Yesterday, the instrument renewed local lows since the beginning of August, responding to the appearance of poor macroeconomic statistics, which reflected the slow pace of recovery of the world economy after the coronavirus epidemic. Also, the market fears a further decline in demand for oil and gasoline amid current restrictions on international flights and the closure of several US refineries for maintenance.

The report from the US Department of Energy, published on Wednesday, significantly supported the “bullish” sentiment. For the week of August 28, oil reserves fell sharply by 9.362 million barrels after falling by 4.689 million barrels in the previous period. Analysts had expected a decrease of only 1.887 million barrels.

Support and resistance

On the daily chart, Bollinger bands are moving flat. The price range is slightly expanding but not as fast as the “bearish” dynamics develop. The MACD indicator is going down, maintaining a poor sell signal (the histogram is below the signal line), and is trying to consolidate below the zero line. Stochastic maintains a confident downward trend but is rapidly approaching its lows, which indicates that the instrument is oversold in the ultra-short term.

It is better to keep the current short positions in the nearest time intervals.

Resistance levels: 43.49, 43.90, 44.51, 45.00.

Support levels: 43.00, 42.76, 42.32, 42.00.

Trading tips

Long positions may be opened after a rebound from 43.00 and the breakout of 43.49 with the target at 44.51. Stop loss – 43.00.

Short positions may be opened after the breakdown of 43.00 with the targets at 42.32–42.00. Stop loss – 43.49.

Implementation period: 2–3 days.

GBP/USD: the pound is declining 07.09.2020

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

NPBFX offers the latest release of analytics on GBP/USD for a better understanding of the current market situation and more efficient trading.

Current trend

GBP is trading near zero against USD during today's morning session, consolidating after the active end of last week. The instrument was declining, but managed to fix a slight increase on Friday, when the market received conflicting statistics from the US.

Uncertainty around the conclusion of a trade deal between London and Brussels after Brexit continues to exert pressure on GBP. Despite the positive comments that European and British officials shared earlier, there has been no significant progress on the deal so far. However, Prime Minister Boris Johnson is still trying to remain optimistic, noting that whatever the outcome of the negotiations, close trade ties between the UK and the EU will undoubtedly be preserved.

Support and resistance

In the D1 chart, Bollinger Bands are reversing horizontally. The price range is slightly narrowing, reflecting the ambiguous dynamics of trading in the short term. MACD is going down keeping a fairly stable sell signal (located below the signal line). Stochastic is showing similar dynamics; however, it is rapidly approaching its lows, reflecting the risks associated with the oversold GBP in the ultra-short term.

Current showings of the indicators do not contradict the further development of the "bearish" trend in the short term.

Resistance levels: 1.3266, 1.3300, 1.3350, 1.3400.

Support levels: 1.3200, 1.3147, 1.3100, 1.3052.

Trading tips

To open long positions, one can rely on the breakout of 1.3266. Take-profit – 1.3350. Stop-loss – 1.3215.

The breakdown of 1.3200 may serve as a signal for new sales with the target at 1.3100. Stop-loss – 1.3250.

Implementation time: 2-3 days.

AUD/USD: ambiguous trading 09.09.2020

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

NPBFX offers the latest release of analytics on AUD/USD for a better understanding of the current market situation and more efficient trading.

Current trend

AUD is trading in both directions against USD in today's morning session, consolidating near new local lows since August 26. The instrument's positions were supported on Wednesday by good macroeconomic statistics from Australia, while the pair is still under pressure amid attempts of USD to recover. In addition, AUD reacts negatively to the increased prospects for the introduction of negative interest rates after the controversial statements from the RBA last weekend. The Westpac Consumer Confidence index in Australia in September rose by 18% after falling by 9.5% in August. The volume of Home Loans in July also increased significantly by 10.7% MoM after increasing by 7.7% MoM in the last month. Analysts expected the indicator to slow down to +3.1% MoM..

Support and resistance

Bollinger Bands in D1 chart show moderate growth. The price range is narrowing, pointing at the flat nature of trading in the short term. MACD is declining keeping a weak sell signal (located below the signal line). Stochastic while approaching its lows is prone to a reversal into a horizontal plane, signaling risks of oversold AUD in the ultra-short term.

Technical indicators do not contradict the further development of the downtrend in the short and/or ultra-short term.

Resistance levels: 0.7250, 0.7274, 0.7300, 0.7336.
Support levels: 0.7200, 0.7150, 0.7130, 0.7100.

Trading tips

To open long positions, one can rely on the breakout of 0.7250. Take-profit – 0.7300. Stop-loss – 0.7220.

The breakdown of 0.7200 may serve as a signal for new sales with the targets at 0.7150–0.7130. Stop-loss – 0.7235.

Implementation time: 2-3 days.

Brent Crude Oil: prices consolidate

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

NPBFX offers the latest release of analytics on Brent Crude Oil for a better understanding of the current market situation and more efficient trading.

Current trend

Today, during the Asian session, oil prices show an ambiguous dynamic, consolidating near the level of $40. Yesterday, the instrument returned to decline after a short corrective growth on Wednesday, responding to the publication of statistics on oil and oil products reserves. According to a report from the US Department of Energy, the figure for the week of September 4 unexpectedly rose by 2.032M barrels after falling by 9.362M barrels in the previous period. Analysts had expected negative dynamics to remain at –1.335M barrels. The volume of oil production in the US rose to 10M barrels per day against 9.7M barrels per day in the previous reporting week. At the same time, the Ministry of Energy also lowered its own forecast for oil demand in 2020 to 8.32M barrels per day.

On Friday, also to publications on US consumer inflation, investors wait for the release of Baker Hughes' report on active oil platforms.

Support and resistance

On the daily chart, Bollinger Bands moderately decline. The price range actively expands from below, letting the “bears” renew local lows. MACD falls, maintaining a relatively strong sell signal (the histogram is below the signal line).

USD/JPY: flat dynamics 14.09.2020

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

NPBFX offers the latest release of analytics on USD/JPY for a better understanding of the current market situation and more efficient trading.

Current trend

USD is trading in different directions against JPY in today's Asian session, developing a flat channel that formed at the beginning of the month. The ambiguous macroeconomic statistics from the US on the dynamics of consumer inflation, published at the end of last week, did not provide significant support to USD, while JPY was expecting the publication of new drivers.

Today's macroeconomic statistics from Japan provide moderate support to JPY, as a result of which the pair is actively testing the level of 106.00 for a breakdown. Industrial production in July increased by 8.7% MoM, accelerating from the previous value of +8% MoM. In annual terms, the pace of production decreased by 15.5% YoY, which was slightly better than forecasts of –16.1% YoY. Capacity Utilization rose by 9.6% in July, after rising by 6.2% in June.

Support and resistance

Bollinger Bands in D1 chart demonstrate steady flat dynamics. The price range remains virtually unchanged, indicating an approximate balance of power in the short term. The MACD indicator, which has not consolidated above the zero level, reverses downwards again, forming a sell signal (the histogram is below the signal line). Stochastic is showing unsteady dynamics and is located in the middle of its area.

One should wait for clarification of the situation at the market, as the current indicators remain uninformative.

Resistance levels: 106.20, 106.50, 106.79, 107.00.
Support levels: 106.00, 105.67, 105.29, 105.00.

Trading tips

Short positions can be opened from the current levels with the nearest take-profit of 105.67. Stop-loss – 106.25.

GBP/USD: ambiguous dynamics 18.09.2020

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

NPBFX offers the latest release of analytics on GBP/USD for a better understanding of the current market situation and more efficient trading.

Current trend

GBP is showing ambiguous dynamics at the end of the trading week, consolidating near 1.2950. Yesterday, investors took a lead from the published minutes of the Bank of England meeting, which provoked a sharp decline in the instrument during the day. As expected, the regulator made no changes into the monetary policy parameters. The rate remained at 0.1%, and the asset purchase facility remained at the level of GBP 745 billion. At the same time, it became known that members of the board were considering the potential possibility of applying negative interest rates, if the economic situation so requires. Investors reacted to such statements with a wave of selling; however, by the end of the trading session on Thursday, GBP still managed to win back most of its losses.

Additional pressure on the instrument remains due to the uncertainty surrounding Brexit. The bill proposed by the British Prime Minister effectively thwarted the negotiation process, which was already not particularly optimistic.

Support and resistance

Bollinger Bands in D1 chart demonstrate a stable decrease. The price range is narrowing, reflecting the emergence of the uptrend in the short term. MACD indicator is growing preserving a weak buy signal (located above the signal line). Stochastic keeps its upward direction but is approaching its highs, which reflects risks of the overbought GBP in the ultra-short term.

To open new positions, it is necessary to wait for the trade signals to become clear.

Resistance levels: 1.3000, 1.3052, 1.3100, 1.3147.
Support levels: 1.2950, 1.2900, 1.2850, 1.2761.

Trading tips

To open long positions, one can rely on the breakout of 1.3000. Take-profit – 1.3100. Stop-loss – 1.2950.

The breakdown of 1.2900 may serve as a signal to new sales with the targets at 1.2800–1.2761. Stop-loss – 1.2970.

Implementation time: 2-3 days.

USD/CAD: ambiguous trading 21.09.2020

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

NPBFX offers the latest release of analytics on USD/CAD for a better understanding of the current market situation and more efficient trading.

Current trend

Today during the Asian session, the USD/CAD pair is declining, balancing the moderate growth of the instrument at the end of last week. On Friday, the US dollar strengthened, responding to the appearance of poor macroeconomic statistics from Canada. Thus, the volume of retail sales for July fell from +22.7% MoM to +0.6% MoM, which was worse than analysts' average forecasts, which assumed a slowdown to +1% MoM. Retail sales excluding the automotive market declined by 0.4% MoM over the same period, despite expectations of 0.5% MoM growth.

On Monday, investors are focused on the speech of the head of the US Federal Reserve Bank Jerome Powell and the August data on the dynamics of the index of national activity of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. In Canada, price indices for the primary housing market for August will be released.

Support and resistance

On the daily chart, Bollinger bands smoothly reverse into an upward plane. The price range narrows, reflecting the emergence of ambiguous trading dynamics in the short term. MACD grows, maintaining a poor buy signal (the histogram is above the signal line). Stochastic maintains a relatively strong downward signal, reacting poorly to the growth attempt of last Friday.

To open new trading positions, it is better to wait until the signals from technical indicators are clarified.

Resistance levels: 1.3200, 1.3250, 1.3300.
Support levels: 1.3160, 1.3132, 1.3100, 1.3043.
