Technical Targets for EUR/USD by United Overseas Bank (based on the article)

EUR/USD: ranging within 1.10/1.13 area for direction

H4 price is located near and above 100 period SMA and 200 period SMA for the primary bullish market condition with the secondary ranging within 1.1057 support level and 1.1342 resistance level.

  • "EUR traded quietly late last week and there is no change to the current neutral view.
  • We continue to expect this pair to trade in a broad 1.1120/1.1375 range even though the immediate risk appears to be tilted to the downside.
  • A clear break below 1.1120 could lead to a quick drop towards the next support near 1.1055.
  • On a shorter-term note, 1.1280 is already a strong resistance (key resistance is at 1.1375)."

RSI indicator is estimating the secondary ranging to be continuing.  

  • If the price will break 1.1342 resistance level on close bar so the primary bullish trend will be continuing.
  • If price will break 1.1057 support on close bar so the reversal of the price movement from the primary bullish to the primary bearish market condition will be started.
  • If not so the price will be ranging within the levels.

A false warning signal for the speculative JPY longs (based on the article)

BNP Paribas publish the article today about "a warning signal for the speculative JPY longs which are running at the highest level since 2011 according to our positioning indicator" - just because "Japanese investors purchasing some JPY 2.3 trn in foreign dent on the week ended March 18."

Let's evaluate this information.

Daily price. If we look at the daily chart so the price is located to be below Ichimoku cloud in the primary bearish market condition within 114.55 key bullish reversal resistance level and 110.66 key bearish continuation support level. But the price broke symmetric triangle pattern to above together with Chinkou Span line to be going to cross the price to above for good possible breakout with the reversal of the price movement to the primary bullish market condition. So, the most likely scenario for daily price is the bear market rally to be continuing with the good breakout possibility: the key resistance level at 114.55 will likely to be broken with the possible reversal to the bullish trend.


Weekly price is on bearish market condition as well to be located below ichimoku cloud for the ranging within the same key s/r levels: 114.55 and 110.66. Chinkou Span line together with Absolute Strength indicator are estimating the trend to be ranging bearish. So, there are 3 most likely scenarios for weekly price movement for the next few months:

  • most likely scenario for the weekly price - price breaks 114.55 resistance with the local uptrend as the market rally (counter-trend) within the primary bearish condition;
  • unlikely scenario - price breaks 110.66 support level to below for the bearish trend to be continuing; and
  • likely scenario - the price will be on ranging bearish condition for the trading within the channel of the above mentioned levels.


Thus, I do not see any technical reason for such a warning which BNP Paribas made about strengthening JPY against USD: the situation is going to be made in exact opposite way: bear market rally with the possible bullish reversal for D1 timeframe, and ranging rally to be started on weekly timeframed chart for example.

GBP/USD Intra-Day Fundamentals: BoE Financial Policy Committee and 16 pips price movement

2016-03-29 11:00 GMT | [GBP - BoE Financial Policy Committee]

[GBP - BoE Financial Policy Committee] = policy changes taken and commentary about the economic conditions comments.

==========

"In an environment of low inflation and continued weakness in investment and productivity growth, prospects for global nominal growth are subdued.  This raises questions about resilience to future adverse shocks, particularly for EMEs where debt levels continue to rise and terms of trade have deteriorated.  In this environment, the re-acceleration of credit growth in China is concerning.  In some advanced economies, lower nominal interest rates associated with weak growth prospects are restraining profitability in banking systems that are still in post-crisis repair and pose challenges for some banking business models.  Globally, bank equity prices have fallen significantly and a material proportion of banks are now trading below book value."
