Article By RoboForex.com

AUDUSD, “Australian Dollar vs US Dollar”

AUDUSD is trading at 0.7089; the instrument is moving below Ichimoku Cloud, thus indicating a descending tendency. The markets could indicate that the price may test the downside border of the cloud at 0.7100 and then resume moving downwards to reach 0.7020. Another signal to confirm further descending movement is the price’s rebounding from the channel’s upside border. However, the scenario that Implies further decline may be cancelled if the price breaks the upside border of the cloud and fixes above 0.7130. In this case, the pair may continue growing towards 0.7220.

The Dollar Index Has Updated Monthly Highs

by JustForex

Yesterday, the US dollar strengthened against a basket of major currencies. Financial markets participants have started to buy actively the US currency after it was reported that Washington intended to introduce duties for all remaining China imports by early December if negotiations between the US President Donald Trump and China’s President Xi Jinping lead to nothing. The US dollar index (#DX) closed in the positive zone (+0.23%). The potential for growth remains.

The euro weakened after it became known that German Chancellor Angela Merkel was not going to run again for the Christian Democratic Union of Germany leader. The Japanese yen also weakened significantly against the US dollar amid the rise in the Asian stock market.

The “black gold” prices decreased slightly. At the moment, futures for the WTI crude oil are testing a mark of $66.90 per barrel. At 22:30, a report on the API weekly crude oil stock will be published.

Market Indicators

Yesterday, the major US stock indices closed again in the negative zone: #SPY (-0.55%), #DIA (-0.84%), #QQQ (-2.06%).

The 10-year US government bonds yield continues to decline. At the moment, the indicator is at the level of 3.10-3.11%.

Bitcoin staying put for now

By Tomasz Wisniewski, Alpari

Today, we have a kind of funeral here as we analyse an instrument that unfortunately seems to have died about two weeks ago: bitcoin. On the 15th of October, we had a huge rise (which was later partially retraced), and I think that this led to the lack of volatility we’ve seen over the following weeks. BTC’s volatility has all but disappeared. One of the most popular features of this cryptocurrency is gone.

The price of this crypto asset is locked in a rectangular pattern between 6,340 and 6,470 USD (orange areas). As long as we remain within this range, we have no trading signal. The best way to deal with this is to wait for a breakout. A breakout of the upper orange area will give us a short-term buy signal, while a downwards breakout will give us a sell signal. The most important area for the long-term situation is the yellow zone at the bottom of the chart, which is the ultimate support for the whole of 2018. A breakout of this level will open the gates to hell for BTC.

There is also another important factor here that should be mentioned, which is the blue downwards trend line. It’s actually the upper line of a descending triangle pattern. The price has broken through this, which in theory should bring us a buy signal. In my opinion, we were just pushed out of the triangle. This was not a breakout, so there is no buy signal. From this formation at least, my outlook on BTC is rather negative.

EURUSD: reversal pattern remains in force as Merkel announces end of political career

By Matthew Anthony, Alpari

Previous:

On Monday the 29th of October, trading on the euro closed down. The price swayed in different directions against the background of statements by German Chancellor Angela Merkel and data from the US.

Merkel has announced the end of her political career, stating that she will not see re-election in Germany’s next federal elections in 2021. The strengthening of the US currency was caused by the publication of favourable data on consumer spending and reduced demand for risky assets in response to the downward correction of US stock indices. Statistics are now important for the market, as the next increase in interest rates is expected next week in the US.

Day’s news (GMT+3):

  • 9:30 France: GDP (Q3).
  • 10:45 France: Consumer spending (Sep).
  • 11:00 Switzerland: KOF leading indicator (Oct).
  • 11:55 Germany: unemployment change (Oct), unemployment rate s.a. (Oct).
  • 13:00 Eurozone: GDP (Q3), consumer confidence (Oct), economic sentiment indicator (Oct), industrial confidence (Oct), business climate (Oct).
  • 16:00 Germany: CPI (Oct).
  • 16:00 US: S&P/Chase-Shiller home price indices (Aug).
  • 17:00 US: CB consumer confidence (Oct).

Fig 1. EURUSD hourly chart.

Current situation:

Yesterday’s market expectations were fully justified. The price dropped to the 45th degree and came back. The price model for growth began to lose momentum after the evenin fall. While it is relevant, I would venture today to consider a price increase from the 45th degree (1.1363) to 1.1425/30. If the hourly candlestick closes below 1.1355, the forecase will be cancelled. In this case, it is worth preparing for a new low of 1.1336.

Of the data mentioned, it’s worth paying attention to the labour market and inflation report in Germany.

US Elections May Trigger Major Market Bottom – PART 1

By TheTechnicalTraders.com

Almost like clockwork, our research team, at Technical Traders Ltd., (predicted on September 17) the US stock market would turn lower and attempt a 5~8% downside move on or after September 21 headed into the US mid-term elections.  Our analysis of the potential downside move was related to our price modeling systems expectations that a common predicted downside target existed between -5% and -8%.  Our researchers did not believe the markets would fall much below -10% before hammering out a price bottom and finding support.

Today, we wanted to alert you to the fact that we are just 7~10 days away from the US mid-term elections and if our predictions hold true, we will be establishing a price bottom in the US stock markets over the next 5+ trading days and begin a new upside price rally fairly quickly after the election results are known.  We could interpret this as “a period of uncertainty that is mixed with economic and news data” which results in investors pulling out of the markets ahead of these types of global events.  In all reality, the US elections are really a global event for many investors.  Policies, regulations, taxes, objectives, and execution become a very big question for many as these elections take place.  Hundreds of billions of dollars are exposed to risk in the weeks headed into US elections and, thus, global investors and traders are always cautious headed into a major US election.

Our theory is that this phenomenon has become even more volatile in recent years and global political ideals have become further polarized.  We believe when a sitting US president that has served for two terms is leaving office, far greater volatility enters the global markets typically.  We believe that mid-term US elections, depending on the political climate at the time, may or may not reflect in broad global market concerns and volatility.  We’ve highlighted major US Presidential elections and US Mid-Term elections on the chart below so you can see how volatility and price rotation increase or decrease depending on the political climate and uncertainty associated with these US elections.  We’ve highlighted 6+ months (or longer) before Presidential elections and a few months before mid-term elections.

The current election event, November 6, 2018, is somewhat unique as it also coincides with the US Fed having raised FFR rates considerably over the past 2+ years as well as after a dramatic price increase in the US equities markets following the election of President Donald J. Trump.  You can clearly see from the chart below that the QQQ has increased by nearly $80+ over the past two years while that same $80 increase existed over the entire Obama stock market recovery (8 years).  This reflects the amount of increased volatility and activity that is within the current global capital market.

This QQQ Weekly chart highlights what we believe to be the core elements of this election cycle rotation.  On this Weekly chart, the overall price trend is still BULLISH (see the DARKER GREEN blocks near the bottom of the chart) and the bullish price trigger level near $163 is still valid.  Yes, the shorter term price trend is currently BEARISH and has been so since the week of October 8.  You can see the bearish price trigger level near $179 (in red) that was recently breached and the downside price target level (in blue) near $166.

Our expectations from our predictions that the markets would be rotated lower by 5~8% were that the markets would move towards the lower YELLOW price channel level and stall near these levels (or just below these levels).  We did not expect the extended price decline that was a result of earnings data and housing data being released last week.  We still believe this move has already reached its downside objectives and is in the process of setting up a major bottom formation.  We believe the extended move was an emotional price reaction to a hyper-election environment in the US and extended anticipation of caution in the global capital markets.

 

In the next segment of this research article, we’ll take a look at additional technical, price and modeling systems that support our belief of a major bottom formation setting up in the US equity markets and how election cycle events should be played for success.  This current downside price rotation has extended to below our expected levels – much like a deeper “washout low” price formation.  We continue to believe the next 7+ trading days will hammer out a bottom formation and that the US equities markets will resume an upside advance shortly after the elections are completed and throughout the remainder of 2018.

Please take a minute to visit TheTechnicalTraders.com to learn more about how we help our members find and execute success and how we can help you navigate these market rotations.  Our predictive modeling systems called this move nearly 4 weeks in advance and now they are calling for a bottom to set up near November 10th and a price rally to resume throughout the rest of 2018.  If you want to find out how these incredible tools can help you find and execute better trades, then visit TheTechnicalTraders.com to learn more.

Where’s the Capitulation in Precious Metals?

By TheTechnicalTraders.com

Over the past 20+ years of research and trading in the markets, our team of traders and researchers know one thing is certain, when fear hits the global markets, precious metals react by rocketing higher.  We’ve seen this happen over and over again – even when non-US geopolitical concerns spark some true fear in the markets.

If you’ve followed our research this week, we’ve been warning about how we believe this move is purely price and technical based and not really a fear-based global price collapse.  In other words, our technical systems, price modeling systems, and other advanced price analysis tools are suggesting this move is nearing an end and was likely a function of price rotation and less a function of true fear in the global markets.

Yes, there were a couple of key factors the precipitated this price move; the Fed, Earnings, Housing Data, Trade, and Geopolitical concerns and the US Elections.  Yet the biggest concern for traders was the “deja vu” feeling that Housing could present another massive crash near an election.  We’ve been through that and we know how ugly that can be if it were to unfold again.

Our researchers, at www.TheTechnicalTraders.com, spent quite a bit of time going over the data and we continue to believe this downside price rotation in the global stock markets was nothing more than a technical price correction WITHOUT any real capitulation from other commodities.  If the recent downside price collapse sowed any real fear into investors, then precious metals should have skyrocketed higher over the past 3+ weeks.

This Weekly Gold chart shows how prices advanced moderately over the past few weeks and failed to originate any real broad upside move as equity prices collapsed.  Weeks ago, we predicted Gold would climb to near $1235, the CYAN line on this chart, before weakening to near $1200 again near the US mid-term elections.  After the elections, we believe that Gold will begin another price advance toward a price target near $1310 headed into 2019.

The YELLOW arrow showing the massive upside projections are based on our Fibonacci price modeling system and suggest that Gold may ultimately have an upside potential near $1435 or $1565 eventually.  These upside targets, if reached, would be the result of REAL FEAR entering the global markets associated with a much greater contagion/capitulation event taking place.  This may be something that happens in the future, as some point, but we don’t believe this is taking place now.

This Weekly Silver chart further illustrates the weakness in the precious metals sector throughout this recent global stock market collapse.  The price of Silver actually fell slightly over the past few weeks and stayed near $14.75.  A recent double bottom formation in Silver near $13.95 is a very strong indication that Silver is establishing a long-term base near the $14.00 level.  You can see from our draws arrows that we believe Silver will continue to contract headed into the US mid-term elections, then begin a moderate advance higher.

We are actively searching for new trades within the precious metals sector that present clear opportunities for our members/subscribers as we believe this upside move in the metals will be one of the best trades in 2019.  Although, right now, these trades are “setup trade” in the sense that we don’t expect any true fear to change price at the moment.  We do expect investors to continue to look towards the precious metals markets as a form of protection from global events in the future and we believe that when the dam breaks and fear really does enter the markets, traders need to already be positioned within the precious metals sector – not chasing after the move.

Overall, our question still remains valid – where’s the capitulation in the precious metals?  If this downside price movement within the global markets was “the top”, we have yet to see any real capitulation in precious metals, which we believe would be the first place to reflect this true fear.  Without this capitulation, our researchers continue to believe this is a technical “reversion” move where price is moving lower to re-establish support for another upside price advance.

In conclusion, we do expect moderate price advances in the precious metals sector over the next 4~6+ months.  We believe this sector will continue to attract investors as a means of protection against a sudden and more structural price collapse event in the future.  Right now, though, we just don’t see the capitulation that would need to be in place if the downside equities move instilled any real fear in traders.  It’s just not there – yet.  Therefore, this recent downside swing appears to be a capital shift or reversion event where price will quickly attempt to find support, based (headed into the US mid-term elections – as we’ve been suggesting) and begin to move higher after November 12th.
