Silver finds intermediary support at 19.70

Technical outlook and chart setups:

The metal finds interim support at 19.70, just ahead of the rising trend line. Short-term view is still pointing towards a possible 21.00 mark but looking into gold setups, Silver has really been lagging behind in rallying towards fresh highs. It is recommended to book profits on long positions held earlier and remain flat for now. Aggressive traders may opt to initiate fresh short positions against the recent highs at 20.50 level. Immediate resistance is 20.50/60, followed by 22.50 on the higher side; while support is at 19.20/30 on the lower side.

Trading recommendations:

Book profits on long positions, initiate fresh shorts at 20.20/25, and stop is at 20.90.

EUR/USD technical analysis for August 1, 2013

Overview:

The EUR/USD's resistance was broken and it turned to support since yesterday, thus the pair has already formed a strong support at 1.3180 (this level will be formed at the weekly support 1) and a minor support will be set at the level of 1.3240. Moreover, it could not close below 1.3179 (23.6% Fibonacci retracements levels) and started indicating a bullish market, as well as the price placed above 23.6% Fibonacci for five days. Additionally, it should also be noted that the price has still been trapped between 61.8% Fibonacci retracement levels and 100%. Equally important, the RSI and the moving average (50) are still calling for uptrend. Therefore, the market indicates a bullish opportunity at level of 1.3179 at H1 or daily charts with the first target of 1.3240, and continues towards 1.3340. On the other hand, if the price closes below the minor support then the best location for placing a stop loss should be below 1.3130, thus the price will fall for a bearish market in order to go further towards the strong support at 1.3130 to test it again. Furthermore, it should be noted that the level of 1.3136 is going to form a double bottom. However, the resistance for August 1, 2013 will be set at the level of 1.3340. Therefore, it will be wise to sell at this level with the first target at the weekly pivot point 1.3237, and it will continue towards 1.3179.

 

USD/CHF: technical analysis for August 2, 2013

Overview:

USD/CHF: It should be noted that the price has still been trapped between 0.9380 -- 0.9343 and the price has been set below strong resistance at the level of 0.9425 (38.2% of Fibonacci retracement levels on H4 chart). Moreover, it is worth noting that these levels are coinciding between 23.6% and 38.2% of Fibonacci retracement levels on H4 chart and the pair has already formed a strong resistance at this level of 0.9425 and it is now approaching it in order to test it. Therefore, the Swissy's downside momentum is rather convincing and the structure of the fall does not look corrective. In order to indicate a bearish opportunity below 0.9425 it will be a good sign to sell below 0.9425 with the first target of 0.9290 and it will call for downtrend in order to continue bearish towards 0.9228 next week in order to form double bottom at the level of 0.9228. Furthermore, it also should be noted that the price at 0.9285 will possible form a strong support (11% of Fibonacci retracement levels on H4 chart). So it will be saturation around 1.9285 to rebound the pair, as well probably the market is going to start showing the signs of bullish market. In other words, it will be a good sign to buy above 0.9290 with the first target of 0.9335 and continue towards 0.94.

Silver looking to move towards 19.00 before rallying

Technical outlook and chart setups:

The metal seems to hit resistance at 20.20/30 levels on Friday and the next probable move could be lower towards 19.00 level before rallying further up. Unlike Gold, the metal has been there for a while now without much wave movement. Resistance is at 20.50 level, while support is seen at 18.70 and lower. After this intermediary down move, the metal could be expected to rally towards 23.00 level and complete a 3 wave corrective rally. Aggressive trading strategy would be to remain short for now.

Trading recommendations:

Remain short, stop is above 20.50, and target is at 19.00.

Strong resistance is placed at 1.48 and 1.5. Looking into the wave structure, the next swing lows could be below 1.4 level in the coming days/weeks. Looking lower for now.

Elliott Wave analysis of EUR/NZD for August 8, 2013

Today's Support and Resistance levels:

R3: 1.6946

R2: 1.6872

R1: 1.6796

Current Spot: 1.6760

S1: 1.6718

S2: 1.6656

S3: 1.6623

Technical summary:

The break below the important support at 1.6771 yesterday invalidated my bullish count and told us, that the rally from the low of 1.6225 is only a B-wave in flat correction. Therefore, we will have to change our focus from the upside towards the downside until this ongoing correction is over.

I'm now looking for resistance at 1.6796 to protect the upside from a break below 1.6718, which will be the first good indication, that we can expect the impulsive decline lower at least towards 1.6623 and likely even deeper towards 1.6456.

In the short-term outlook, a break above 1.6799 will confuse the Picture, but only a break above 1.6872 will question the bigger Picture.

Trading recommendation:

The stop at 1.6765 was hit for a small loss. Sell EUR here at 1.6760 with a stop at 1.6875. Target is at 1.6225.
