Technical Analysis from www.Instaforex.com







Gold is currently testing the upper limit of its medium-term bullish channel to 1416 suggesting a decline in the short term. However a break in that area would free up significant potential and beginning of an upward trend is more violent.

According to previous events, the market indicates a bullish opportunity as soon as the spot rate will have broken its resistance in 1416 with a 1st objective of 1427, then 1437. A break in 1414 would invalidate this scenario.

The USD/JPY now has been trapped in a triangle formation; it means the market participants are confused about the movement of this pair. Now the USD/JPY has been oscillated between the 81.25 to 80.75 level areas. However, today this pair has a strong support and resistance levels at 80.48 (Support. 3) and 81.32 (Resistance. 3). If this pair can reach this area, there is a possibility for this currency to reverse between 10 pips to 20 pips, but if this pair after reach these levels still moves by more than 50 pips this will indicate that the USD/JPY will continue its movement.

Support levels: 1.0000, 0.9980, 0.9930
Resistance levels: 1.0160, 1.0385, 1.0680

The USD/CAD is pulling back after the failure to break through the support level near the parity level against the US dollar. Nevertheless, a breakout of 1.0050 targeted the currency pair to 0.9980. As it was mentioned before if the USD/CAD could not breach the parity level versus the US dollar, then the rebound to up is expectable.
If the USD/CAD reverses and breaks through the resistance level of 1.0160 and EMA (55), then the viewpoint will be neutral. Further the breakthrough of 1.0385 will denote that the rollback from 1.0680 ended and the advance should be awaited. In a midterm the consolidation from 1.0680 has not finished yet and one more low is expectable. Nevertheless, in case of the reversal the breakout of 1.0680 will confirm the end of the consolidation, as well as that the downtrend from 1.3063 is breached. In this case it is expected that the USD/CAD will move up to the Fibonacci correction level 38.2 from 1.3063 to 0.9929 at 1.1126 with the next target at the Fibonacci correction level 61.8 at 1.1866.

After breaking down so strongly, the pair euro - pound could find a support at price levels that are listed at this time and start an upward sequence, which could introduce the pair in a stalemate between levels 0.8600 to 0.8800. In this case, the closing session has a special significance since closing above the 0.8640 level is an indication of the power of support and also create a positive investment pattern with the figure of "hammer" of bullfighting. This alternative represents for us a sign for purchase starting point in accordance with the resistance level of 0.8740 to 0.8775.

A breakout below the 0.8600 support level, however, represents a sign of continuing casualties. If this option is fixated, you can take short position on the pair with distant starting point, which is significant in relation to low level and 0.8400 support 61% 8 fibonacci, extending to 0.8330 pounds sterling euro.

Bank of America shares strongly fell in price by 2.6%. Despite its plans to sell the shares of BlackRock by 25% more than it was planned, the banking giant does not have enough capital, which it should to raise by a year-end deadline. Chevron stocks lost 1.5%, after the oil giant announce its decision to purchase Atlas Energy for $3.2 billion in cash and wipe off a debt in amount of $1.1 billion. Atlas shareholders will receive $ 38.25 per share in cash that corresponds to a premium of 21% over the closing price on Monday. The shares of Atlas, which are not a DJIA component, rose in price by 34%. The background for the decline were the increasing concerns about the potential impact of the FRS plan to invest $600 billion in the economy, called as the quantitative easing-2 by Wall Street.
Ahead of the G20 summit, which starts in Seoul on Wednesday, the international controversy over the FRS measures has become more intense. According to the Tuesday data the wholesale inventories of the USA grew more than twice in September, than it was expected. Though the increase in inventory can be considered as the sign of companies’ confidence in the steady demand amid the further economic recovery, some investors are worried whether the companies have more inventory than they can sell.
