Euro on the focus today as Eurozone Inflation and German Unemployment figures are due

After a quite kick start in the week for the FOREX markets, all the focus has been concentrated in the Euro and the related data to be released later today.

EUR/USD attempted a bounce from its recent lows yesterday, trading as high as 1.2717 but it slowly retreated back below 1.27. The Euro is still weighted by increased uncertainty surrounding a proposed referendum in Catalonia, and the weak data stemming from the Eurozone. Yesterday German inflation was steady at 0.8%, with the focus now turned to Eurozone data. If the data to be released later this morning, appear weaker than expected for the Euro, we would expect a break below the 2-years low support level at 1.2659, and to open the way towards the next technical support level May’s 2012 low at 1.2286.

Image

German unemployment data for September will be released at 07:55 GMT, and Eurozone inflation September data at 09:00 GMT. Later this afternoon Canadian GDP figures will be announced for the month of July at 12:30 GMT, and U.S. consumer confidence for September at 14:00 GMT.

All the data of course might give a small impact on the markets if the traders fear of aggressive positioning ahead of the U.S. Non Farm Payrolls that will be released on Friday.

Need for safe haven increases demand for gold

Since the International Monetary Fund (IMF) lowered its estimation for global growth for 2015, the equity markets have seen a sizeable correction. Last week, before the correction in stock indices was reversed, over $3.2 trillion was momentarily wiped out from the value of the global stock market. In addition to this, various worries ranging from the spread of the Ebola virus to the Federal Reserve (Fed) tightening its monetary policy, added to the general feel of the investment world as we’ve known it over the last four to five years, coming, if not to and end, at least close to it. This translated into strength in Gold which is often viewed as a safe haven when global threats arise or when the Fed expands its balance sheet. It is clear from the charts that when things got jittery, money flowed out of the other markets, but not from gold. Instead, gold gained after it touched a long term support level. According to the Financial Times, flows into gold investment funds hit an eight week high in the week to October 15th. At the same time the comments from the St. Louis Fed president Mr. Bullard have left the door open for further expansion of the Fed’s balance sheet. Based on all of the above, it is safe to assume that gold prices will be either sustained above the latest weekly low (support level at 1183) or trend higher over the coming months.

Over the last two and a half weeks gold has been moving higher from an important support level (blue horizontal line). While the most important weekly resistance levels (red horizontal lines) are far away from the current market price, we should pay attention to the Fibonacci cluster levels on the above chart (black horizontal lines). Based on several major highs in the recent sideways move in 2013 and 2014, as well as the latest market low, it is possible to draw several Fibonacci retracement levels. Because there is no single right way of choosing the low/high points for the analysis, different people draw the Fibonacci levels from different price points. Fibonacci cluster analysis provides us the areas important to the majority of analysts by eliminating all the other levels and focusing on those that cluster together. This analysis provides us with the following areas of importance in Gold. Support (area below current price) 1215 – 1220 and Resistance (area above price): 1260 – 1268. The third area of importance for Fibonacci analysts is where the price currently fluctuates. This area coincided with the weekly low from June this year. Price action below this weekly low is likely to be range bound and the range best visible (and tradeable) in the smaller time frames (4h and 1h). I base this view on what happened the last time gold was moving up from the same support level and prices reached the previous weekly pivot low (in January this year). Then, Gold moved sideways for three weeks before breaking above the resistance area created by the mentioned weekly pivot low.

Image

Gold, 4h


In the above chart we have the same levels in a 4h chart. Price has been moving fairly steadily without strong extensions outside the Bollinger Bands, but some weariness in momentum is visible as the latest directional move hasn’t been strong enough to take gold to the upper end of the channel. This indicates that even though buyers have been able to work their way through the Fibonacci cluster at the weekly low, they are confronted with further supply at these levels.

If price breaks lower from here, potential supporting areas are the 4h Bollinger Bands that coincide with the daily low from Friday 17th and the penetrated resistance (see above chart) which has already proven itself as an area where buyers are willing to step in. It is worth noting that this level (a supporting Fibonacci cluster at 1215 to 1220) is roughly the area of former resistance from September this year and should the price move back there this would be a potential support and worth keeping an eye on.

Image

Gold, 1h

Price is currently hovering at the lower 1h Bollinger bands while it moves sideways just above one of the Fibonacci cluster levels drawn earlier, but seems to be slipping lower. If gold can’t close above the descending red trend line but keeps on drifting lower, I would look at the 4h (240 min.) Bollinger Bands as potential support or first target for short trades. If momentum analysis (e.g. in 15 and 5 min. charts) confirms that this area of potential support is likely to hold, then long entries could be considered at or around the level.

Conclusion: Keeping in mind that we are at price levels where psychology has changed substantially in June (the market turned from bearish to bullish right at current levels). This might mean that immediate upside is limited and that the market needs to dip lower to gather strength for another attempt to break through the above resistance. This is not very clearly visible in price action yet, but as I pointed out earlier the latest move higher in the 4h chart isn’t as strong as those before it. Therefore, it makes sense to prepare for the possibility of gold breaking lower and be ready to take long trades at potential support levels. However, if current minor support at Bollinger Bands and close to the level of rising trend line holds, it would be advisable for traders to act accordingly and follow the direction of the rising trendline in their trading.

BoE concerned about Euro area slow down impacting UK

The Bank of England’s MPC meeting yesterday (Oct. 22nd) voted 7:2 against rate hikes. This was expected by the analysts and the same members, Weale and McCafferty, voted for a 0.25% hike as the last time. The rate stayed the same at 0.5%. Members voting against the rate hike were concerned about weak wage growth and couldn’t justify a rate hike in the current low inflationary environment. The UK Consumer Price Index (CPI) has been trending lower since October 2011 and is currently at 1.2, well below the BoE’s Q3 inflation expectations of 1.8%. This allows the Central Bank to have an ultra loose monetary policy without worrying excessively about price stability. Members of the committee were also concerned about a rate hike exposing UK to economical shocks and the slow down in the euro area being contagious. In light of recent weak data (low CPI and jobless claims for September falling less than expected), it may well be that those voting against rate hikes in the November meeting will have even stronger majority.

Today and tomorrow the focus will be on Friday’s Preliminary Gross Domestic Product (GDP) figure for the UK. This is the first release of the 3 versions of UK GDP. They are released a month apart – Preliminary, Second Estimate, and Final. The Preliminary release is the earliest and tends therefore to have the biggest impact on Pound Sterling.

The UK economy grew by 0.9% in the second quarter. Slightly beating expectations (0.8%) and was in line with Q1′s GDP reading of 0.8%. At that time, the IMF also upgraded its annual GDP forecasts for the U.K., which was then one of the better performers among the major economies. A weaker growth rate pace is projected for Q3, as manufacturing and services activity has slowed during the period. The analysts’ expectation for the Q3 GDP reading is 0.7%. A strong deviation (in either direction) from this figure is likely to translate into a stronger than average move in Pound Sterling pairs.

GBPUSD, weekly: has been trending lower, now hovering at 50% Fibonacci retracement level (measured from July 2013 low to July 2014 high). Has bounced from proximity of weekly support at 1.5855. Weekly support: 1.5855 – 1.5875 and weekly resistance 1.6252 coincides with 38.2% Fibonacci level. Stochastic oscillator is oversold but showing some bullish divergence (Stochastics has moved higher while price has moved lower). This suggests to me that the downside is limited as the market is turning and probabilities are on the long side once the intra-day charts signal the timing for longs is correct. Weekly and daily pictures give us the frame work and an understanding of what kind of process the price is going through. Intra-day charts provide us with timing tools.

Image

GBPUSD, daily: This weeks high (1.6185) coincided with a Fibonacci cluster 1.6170 – 1.6197. These clustering levels are measured from the highs in the down move to the latest low. The fact that several Fibonacci levels and a weekly high coincide at same levels emphasizes the importance of, not only Fibonacci cluster analysis but also the level as a resistance. Another cluster above this one is at 1.6250 – 1.6274, a level where the Bollinger Bands are at the moment as well. Supporting Fibonacci cluster (blue lines) is roughly at the same level with the always so important 50% retracement (measured from July 2013 low to July 2014 high). In addition, the pair has just broken out of bullish wedge formation three days ago and has now retraced to the trendline that used to limit its move higher. This too is a sign to look for long opportunities in shorter time frame charts.

Image

GBPUSD, 1h: The most interesting area to consider long trades is the potential support area (1.5940 – 1.5965) provided by the daily Bollinger Bands and the October 16th low. At the time of writing, price is still creating lower lows and highs and seems to be edging lower. This might well be due to the uncertainty caused by the coming GDP update on Friday. If there will be no major negative surprise (the UK GDP figure is close to expectations) the above mentioned support levels could provide day trading opportunities with the 21st October low being the first target. Above that potential target levels would be 1.6180 and 1.6220.

Conclusion: Based on the above analysis GBPUSD is currently at levels that favour long trades. We have a market that is close to a support after long move lower, and it is showing signs of momentum change: bullish wedge and breakout with a divergence in Stochastics. The downside seems to be limited as downside momentum is waning and probabilities are therefore on the long side. We should keep in mind though that intra-day signals should be closely monitored in order to increase chances to get the timing for longs right. In addition, it is unlikely that this market will make major moves before the preliminary GDP publication tomorrow. If there is no intra day momentum reversal signal and the price keeps on moving lower, this setup is negated and traders should act accordingly.

Why to trade with multiple time frame charts? | Part 1

As the traders who read my articles are aware by now I do not favour an idea of basing one’s analysis and trades on price action in a single time frame chart. New traders are often fascinated by the constant action visible in the 1 minute or 5 minute time frames. This is the same crowd that loves trading platforms with flashing lights, blinking windows and buzzing buzzers. The more eye candy and action, the better. I’ve been there and done that, so I can’t blame them. But, believe me, after watching price action for over 16 years, I’ve got no need for such hyper activity any longer. I am only interested in knowledge and information that has quality, validity, and hopefully, also some predictive value.

Image

The main problem with the lowest time frame charts is the thing called noise. Noise can be defined as unwanted signals that obscure the real signals and therefore harm the quality of your analysis. In other words, 1 minute charts for instance, have so many spikes, ranges, mini trends, hammers, shooting stars, breakouts and false breakouts that these “setups” are only going to wear you out – and drain your trading account. You are free to try out, but unless you are extraordinarily lucky it’s likely that you will, sooner or later, become physically, mentally and financially exhausted. If you recognise some (or all) of these symptoms, take a step back and start again with (multiple) higher time frame charts and do some analysis that adds value to your trading career.

Another major problem with single time frame analysis is the fact that you are constantly out of touch with what is really happening in the market that you are trying to trade. How can that be true? Let’s give it some thought. First, what logical reason would there be to assume that the price action in, for example, a 5 minute chart would give us any relevant clues on what the big market operators, such as banks or hedge funds are focusing on. Their operations generally last longer than the time period a newbie trader typically focusses on (when watching his small time frame charts). These market participants are those that have the power to really move the markets and I have not yet heard of any central bank action or other major currency operation that would be completed intra day.

For instance, when a big company buys another from abroad for billions of dollars, this deal needs a currency transaction in order to be completed. The buyer needs to exchange the local currency to the currency of the target country. The FX market is the biggest market in the world, but selling or buying billions does mean that the position has be accumulated over a few days. Obviously the traders try to complete the buy operation in such a way that they don’t push the prices higher. If we do our analysis properly, we can find the levels that are meaningful for the big operators as well. These levels are likely to be important daily and weekly highs and lows, not minor one or five minute levels.

In addition, if one limits his or her view into a single time frame chart, the understanding of the current process and context at which this price action is taking place is kind of difficult (if not impossible) to grasp. With a process I mean for instance a situation where price is bouncing off from a higher time frame support level or it has reached a major resistance level and the momentum is waning. Should a trader focus only on a 5 minute chart or 1h chart for that matter, he or she would be likely to keep on shorting the bounces next to a major support. In other words, shorting even though price has reached a level that is likely to attract institutional buying. These shorts have much fewer probabilities on their side than those opened close to a major resistance level after there is confirmation that prices are indeed likely to turn lower. The old adage goes: buy low and sell high, but we need the bigger time frame to understand what the low and high actually mean.

EURUSD PUSHED BELOW THE 1.2700 LEVEL IN THE EARLY EUROPEAN SESSION.


EURUSD rose on Friday and closed at 1.2670. The German Gfk Consumer Confidence Index rose to a level of 8.5 in November. The President of the European Central Bank urged the nations in the Eurozone to do more structural economic reforms. Data from the United States showed that the New Home Sales in the largest economy in the world rose unexpectedly to a 6-year high level of 0.2 percent in September against the market expectations of a 6.8 percent drop.

Image

Over the weekend the ECB reported that most of the biggest banks in the Eurozone passed the stress test and have enough capital to stand another slowdown in the financial system. However 25 from 150 banks failed to pass the stress test showing cumulative shortfall of 24.6 billion Euro.

Investors are now looking forward for the German Ifo Business Climate report due from the Eurozone and the Pending Home Sales data due from the United States.

Support for the EURUSD 1.2624 and resistance is seen at 1.2713.
