GBP/USD Intraday Technical Analysis 2012-05-02

The spot rate is getting closer to the lower limit of its medium term bullish channel at 1.6190 making a rebound possible. However, a puncture of this level will release good potential and initiate a bearish channel.

Technical indicators give buy-signals supporting the assumption of a retracement soon. Bollinger bands have greatly tightened in recent days showing a slow down of the volatility and the imminence of a violent movement.

According to previous events the market will give a bullish opportunity at the level of 1.6190 with the 1st objective at 1.6250 and then at 1.6270. A break through 1.6170 will alter this scenario.

EUR/USD Bearish Outlook for May 02, 2012 (Daily Strategy)

The Euro - U.S. dollar pair falls sharply during the European trading session on Wednesday because of the unemployment data in Germany. Yesterday the pair was trading in the negative area. Thus we saw a bearish correction.
If we look at the chart we can see that the pair has broken its uptrend line and in the short term it is likely to continue the downward trend. In the medium term it is now near a weekly support level and can give a correction upwards.
Therefore, we recommend selling on the Pullback to its uptrend line that has been broken with the targets to 1.3042.
Trend indicators show a deeper fall in the long term.

Re: EUR/USD Bearish Outlook for May 02, 2012 (Daily Strategy)

Therefore, we recommend selling on the Pullback to its uptrend line that has been broken with the targets to 1.3042.

The trendline looks to be about 1.3250 region. Do you expect the pullback upto this level ?? Should the trader wait for 1.3240/1.3250 to take the sell call ?

GBP/USD - Strong Support at 1.6170 - May 3, 2012

The British pound was trading slightly lower, although it had a very strong support at 1.6170. This level had been acting as a strong resistance for a few months, which now became a strong support.
Therefore, if there were a pullback to the maximum - 1.6280 it will be recommend to sell at that level or if the pair breaks a strong support - 1.6170 - and closes below that level, we recommend selling in both cases with the objectives at 1.6003.

EUR/USD Intraday Technical Analysis 2012-05-04

The spot rate is presently testing the intermediate resistance of its medium term bullish channel at 1.3180 and is likely to decline. However, a breakdown of these levels will release significant potential enabling to reach its upper limit in point 1.3290.
Technical indicators do not provide clear signals but s long as the resistance is not broken, the decline is most likely to take place. Bollinger bands are much discarded due to the strong decline that took place these days. The situation is expected to stabilize soon.

According to previous events the market will provide a bullish opportunity as soon as the spot rate has broken through its resistance of 1.3180 with the 1st targets seen at 1.3240 and 1.3260 levels. Incase the level1.3160 is broken through, the proposed scenario will be cancelled.

EUR/USD Wave Analysis for May 7, 2012

Wave marking analysis:
On Friday during the Asian and European sessions the EUR/USD pair completed the wave 2 (or B), resumed the descending movement and by the end of the day had been fixed near the point 1.3080. Such drop of 100 pips from the daily high looks rather strong, so the downside movement is likely to reach the level of figure 30. At the same time it is necessary to mention that in case this movement develops as a correction in relation to the part of the trend of April 15 and May 1, the price can pass though this strong support level again.



Targets for resumption of the descending part of the trend within the wave 3 in C in 3 or C:
1.3064 61.8% of Fibonacci
1.2996 100.0% of Fibonacci

Targets for the wave 4 in 3 or C:
1.3087 23.6% of Fibonacci
1.3145 38.2% of Fibonacci

General conclusions and trading recommendations:
The Fridays descent points at the continuation of the development of the wave 3 or C. The targets for the current downward movement are seen at 1.3064 and 1.2996 which is equal to 61.8% and 100.0% of Fibonacci. On the smaller level we can observe the wave 3 or C; the wave 2 or B has been completed. The location of the MACD near the zero level indicates that the pair has an opportunity to decline with 1.3000 seen as possible target.
