USD/JPY Wave Analysis for March 19, 2012

Wave marking analysis:

In the course of Friday’s trading operations the USD/JPY pair continued the formation of the inner wave structure of the prospect wave 4 in 3 (in 3 or C). Proceeding from the current wave structure we can assume that the pair is expected to test the level of the figure 84 and having defined the wave 5 in 3 will rapidly move to the lower limit of the ascending channel. At the same time it is possible that the Friday’s high is already considered as the high of the shortened wave 5. In any case the strong MACD divergence points at the necessity of more continuous and deeper correction.

Targets for the variant with the wave 5 in 3 in 3 or C:

83.84 and higher – 200.0% according to Fibonacci

Targets for the variant with a range of downside corrective waves:

83.22 – 161.8% according to Fibonacci

82.65 – 127.2% according to Fibonacci

General conclusions and trading recommendations:

At the moment the new ascending part of the trend continues its formation with the target seen at the level of figure 85 of the wave 3 or C. Proceeding from significantly shortened wave 2 or B we can define the force of the current trend and its ability for further elaboration that will result in the strengthening of American currency against Japanese, as we can actually see. The inner wave marking of the wave 3 or C indicates the possible continuation of the upward part of the trend with targets 83.84 and higher, corresponding to 200.0% of Fibonacci. The current correction within the wave 4 is not considered as too deep.

Fundamental Analysis for March 20, 2012

On Monday the dollar fell against other major currencies, with a strong momentum in relation to the euro and the pound sterling.

Wall Street shares continued to weakened, affected by the atmosphere of doubts of the European session.

However, a single fact could not change the direction of the market movement in a few hours. This time China was a protagonist.

The great Asian power, which affects all economic blocks, either due to its import or export, has entered this year into shadow of economic growth, prompting an immediate rise in the dollar on all fronts.

Thus, when the assumption concerning the possible decline in steel production, the hard currencies weakened, while exchange of "goods" was damaged even more, as China seemed to indicate the decline in commodity demand commodities that is taking place at the moment.

On the issue price is far more evident: the euro is back from yesterday’s highs after having failed to break down the 1.32 level. Meanwhile the British pound supported by the release on British inflation index standing in line with expectations, has fallen moderately without losing its short-term bullish direction.

But the Australian dollar is the first one to be affected by the news from its powerful neighbor, whose main customer is falling rapidly breaking the 1.05 point.

The Canadian dollar has not been that much affected, as the European currency was trading in narrow price ranges. The low oil prices, which appear to slow down at these times, have "stuck" loonie quotes on all fronts.

The low of the Dow Jones index futures appears to be more striking as it was traded at 13300 points within the strong bearish trend on the 4H chart. Maybe this time the beginning of significant profit-taking chip stocks, which are now at the 4 years high, will take place without interruption.

Meanwhile, the European stock markets operate with heavy losses, while on Tuesday's session averages they remained in the range between 1.2 and 1.7%. The major indexes are expected to move within downtrends in the nearest future.

The financial world now awaits the key U.S. data: building permits, announced at 8:30 EST. The construction sector indicated a very slow recovery in recent months; published figures do not exceed the highs of 2010. It should be noted that this data is a major concern of the Fed led by Ben Bernanke, who considers the primary building to leave behind once the economic crisis. Indeed, Bernanke will be presented in Washington from 12:45.

AUD/USD Bullish Outlook for March 20, 2012 (Daily Strategy)

The AUD / USD pair is located at 1.0476 level i.e. around the first weekly support (W_S1). In the nearest future we expect that the pair will change its direction to downwards and continue the ascending movement towards the point 1.0800. Considering that the pair has broken its downtrend line and has made the corresponding pullback, and, if we look at the chart, the pair has formed a pattern of changed trend. Thus, it confirms our bullish outlook.

Therefore, we recommend Buy-deals at current levels of negotiation, pending an increase in the price of par. Our objective is placed in 1.0650 and our ultimate goal is the 1.0824 level. The Stop Loss is to be placed under the month's low.

The MACD indicator is in oversold area showing the bullish signals.

EUR/USD Sell Fractal 1.3240 - for March 20, 2012

The EUR / USD pair that is trading at 1.3190 has moved lower after the breakdown of the short-term trend line. Before the continuation of the descending trend, we will observe the usual pullback to 1.3240 weekly resistance. If this level is broken, the pair is expected to reach the 1.3309 level that is considered as the next resistance level.

Therefore, we recommend Sell-deals at the weekly resistance level around 1.3240 with a short-term objective 1.3055.

The MACD indicator and range are showing the bearish signals.

USD/CHF Wave Analysis for March 20, 2012

Wave marking analysis:

In the course of yesterday’s trades the USD/CHF pair has managed to resume the downside movement. In the afternoon the pair tested the level of figure 91. The descending movement that has been developing since March 15 is presently looking as the completed 5-wave structure. If that proves to be so, then the price is likely to go upwards (or downwards) from the yesterday’s lows resulting in the formation of the wave B within the more continuous downside correction.

Targets for the variant with the wave A of the downside part of the trend:

0.9074 – 100.0% according to Fibonacci

0.9038 – 127.2% according to Fibonacci

Targets for the variant with the wave B:

0.9173 and higher – 23.6% according to Fibonacci

General conclusions and trading recommendations:

Friday’s downside movement has cancelled the option with the development of the ascending part of the trend. The whole wave marking is quite unstable and it is quite difficult to define, to which wave of the higher order the smaller waves belong. The current descending movement can be either within the 3-wave structure or can transform to the 5-wave structure with 0.9074 and 0.9038 as targets corresponding to 100.0% and 127.2% of Fibonacci.

Proceeding from this fact, it is necessary to be cautious while making deals, as there is no clear trend. The unexpected reversal of quotes to upwards can begin anytime. If this happens, it can be referred to the wave B of the descending part of the trend; the completed MACD convergence indicates the fact that this reversal is likely to take place soon.

USD/CHF Technical Analysis and Trading recommendations for March 20, 2012

General situation:

On March 20 the USD/CHF pair continued the descending movement and fixed below the Ichimoku Cloud. As e result, the signal for Sell-deals was strengthened enabling to open the short positions. The current signal for Sell-deals is confirmed and strong as Chinkou Span is located below the price chart and the price is fixed below the Ichimoku Cloud. That is the reason why the first support level 0.9084 is considered as a target for downside movements. In case this level has been overcome, the new target for the bullish trade – the second support level 0.9012 – will be available. The downward movement remains relevant as long as the price is above the Kjun-Sen (0.9210). While bearish trade above this line it is recommended to place Stop loss. When the price goes higher than this line, the signal for Sell-deals will weaken and the further development of the movement will be questioned. Chinkou Span is located below the price chart confirming the current signal for Sell-deals indicating the bearish mood of the USD/CHF market. Bollinger Bands indicates the continuation of the descending movement; lines are expanding and directed downwards. Therefore, it is recommended to consider short positions. MACD is directed downwards and is considered as a signal of current descending movement. Thus, it is possible to open new selling orders and support the already opened orders. When the MACD turns to upwards, this will be the sign of correction.

Trading recommendations:

On the USD/CHF market it is recommended to consider short positions with target seen at the 0.9084 level. When the price passes through this level, the next target for Sell-deals will be seen at the 0.9012 level. Stop loss is to be placed above the point 0.9210. In case this line goes downwards, Stop Loss can be placed after it. With 50-60 pips of profit Stop Loss can be placed to zero area. Take profits can be placed a little higher than the target levels.

Apart from the technical picture it is necessary to consider the fundamental data and the time of its release.

Explanations to the picture:

Ichimoku Indicator:

Tenkan-Sen – red line

Kijun-Sen – blue line

Senkou Span A – light brown dotted line

Senkou Span B – light blue dotted line

Chinkou Span – green line

Senkou Span B – violet dotted line

Bollinger Bands:

The bigger wave is now moving downwards, so it is prefereable to go short when the Detrended Oscillator goes above the zero level (15-20 pips above the current prices) or into the overbought area (35-45 pips above the current prices). Mind the possibilities of opening the short positions at or near the indicated resistances.
