Investors’ Appetite For U.S. Dollars Will Determine This Week’s Price Action

/in /by

Dear Traders,

We welcome you the trading month of October. Even though, the last trading month has proved to be non-profitable for day traders, it was a great month for swing traders while our swing signal trades generated an overall profit of 357 pips in September. Also this month we will again provide swing- and long-term entries for subscribers to get the best out of the current market conditions.

The British pound declined gapped lower at the open of the trading week after U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May said she will start pulling the Brexit trigger in the first quarter of 2017. May made a clear statement when she said on Sunday that they “will invoke Article 50 no later than the end of March next year.” From a technical perspective the support at 1.2915 is still intact and sterling bears may wait for a break below 1.29 in order to send the pound lower towards 1.2850. A current resistance is however seen around the 1.30-level.

The euro is still trading sideways within its recent trading range between 1.1250 and 1.1150. As long as the EUR/USD remains confined to a price range between 1.1280 and 1.1130 there is nothing new to report.

The focus this week will again shift to the U.S. Payrolls report on Friday while the report is expected to show steady labor-market improvement. An upbeat result may boost the U.S. dollar as it would bolster Federal Reserve rate hike speculation before year-end.

Today’s ISM Manufacturing Survey, scheduled for release at 14:00 UTC will be important to watch. Supportive ISM data may push the dollar higher versus its counterparts.

We wish you a good start to the new week and many profitable trades.

Pound In Free Fall Amidst Uncertainty

/in /by

Dear Traders,

The free fall of the British pound continues with the U.K. economy facing difficult times in the aftermath of Britain’s vote to leave the EU-bloc. The huge sell-off in the pound was the biggest story in the market yesterday and it continued even during the Asian trading session, sending the pound to a record low of 1.2797. The effects of Brexit on the U.K. economy and its confidence are becoming more and more evident. Meanwhile, Bank of England Governor Mark Carney outlined more tools to contain the Brexit fallout, pledging to implement any other measures needed. Carney warned of prospects for “a material slowing of the economy” amid concern over the health of the global economy.Given the high level of uncertainty in the U.K. commercial property market, three of the U.K.’s largest real estate funds have frozen almost 9.1 billion pounds of assets to halt Brexit retreat. All in all, the pound’s future does not look bright and traders should expect further losses given the uncertain environment. Dark clouds are gathering on Britain’s horizon and this is only the beginning.

Given the pound’s sharp depreciation, investors seek for safer assets, flocking into the U.S. dollar. The euro dropped towards 1.1035 as a result of that risk aversion. A next important support is seen around the 1.0990-level. Below 1.0980, we expect the euro to fall towards 1.0940 and 1.0870. On the upper side, the euro rejected the 1.1186-level, from where it went into a tailspin. With the 1.12-resistance being intact for the time being, euro bulls should wait for a break above 1.1215/20 in order to buy euros towards higher targets.

Market participants pushed back their bets for a Federal Reserve rate hike this year, even though the Fed is likely to stay on track to raise interest rates if growth and inflation expectations are met.

The Fed releases minutes from its June 14-15 FOMC meeting, but the FOMC minutes are expected to take a backseat to heightened concerns about global growth and risk aversion.

The ISM Non-Manufacturing Index, scheduled for release at 14:00 UTC will be watched closely whereby a better figure could add further strength to the greenback.

Brexit! Will The Euro Crash?

/in /by

Dear Traders,

What can we say about the market today? Awesome, sad, impressive or the reaction was foreseeable? One thing is certain, however: Traders were able to get a substantial slice of the pie. From our point of view, the nighttime trading went very well. We achieved a reasonable profit with each of our entries in both currency pairs and we are therefore more than satisfied with our performance. Incidentally, our biggest single gain last night was a 420-pip profit, which was recorded by our short-entry in the GBP/USD.

The pound sterling crashed as the U.K. voted to quit the European Union. The first reaction has led to a massive sell-off in the pound. The euro moved in tandem with pound while the euro’s trading range was confined to 500 pips (5 percent), whereas the pound’s range extended to 1700! pips (17 percent). The pound’s downward move is the biggest drop of all time as Britain’s future is highly uncertain after the vote to exit the EU. The next steps are unclear, EU leaders and finance ministers could confer as soon as this weekend. The future path of the EU and U.K. is clearly subject to downside risk, this is the only (sad) certainty at the moment.

EUR/USD downside risks: If the euro breaks below 1.0890, a next support could be around 1.0820. Below 1.0780 the euro could tumble towards 1.0710 and 1.0560.

The storm in the Forex market is not yet over and traders should be cautious. If you already gained a good weekly profit then stop trading for this week. If you don’t mind getting your fingers burnt, then go ahead.

We say goodbye to this fateful week and wish you a wonderful weekend.

Brexit Or Bremain? A Fateful Day

/in /by

Dear Traders,

This is a crucial day for the U.K. with Britain’s vote on membership of the European Union. The island nation will determine its future with or without the EU and the market is eagerly awaiting the decision. The voting booths are set to open at 7 a.m. London time, while first projections are likely to be announced during the evening hours.

The final outcome is anything but certain. Recent polls showed the ‘Remain’ camp being in the lead with 48 percent ‘Remain’ and 42 percent ‘Leave’.  The pound strengthened beyond 1.48 based on the assumption of a victory for the “Remain” campaign. But beware: Sterling is moving in tandem with bookmakers’ odds, while the chances of ‘Leave’ and ‘Remain’ are equal. The sentiment can therefore change very quickly at any time.

“Bremain” scenario: Traders should bear in mind that, even in the case of a pro-EU victory, unlimited upside swings won’t be a foregone conclusion. In other words, gains in the British pound could be limited as the focus will shift to the U.K. economy and the prospects of interest hikes in the aftermath of the vote. Since the Federal Reserve will be the first central bank to raise interest rates, the attention will switch to the U.S. dollar and the prospects of further Fed tightening. This fact may discourage investors to buy the pound unlimitedly.

“Brexit” scenario: In the event of an exit from the European Union, the pound will be vulnerable to huge losses as the consequences are incalculable. The market is currently pricing out a Brexit scenario which is why the market’s reaction on unexpected surprises could be excessive.

GBP/USD

Looking on the big picture, we see chances of an imminent trend reversal. Once the pound is able to climb above 1.4850, it could head for the next major resistance zone which we expect to be at 1.52-1.5350. Above 1.55 it could be tempting to anticipate a test of 1.60 but this would be the most optimistic forecast. However, in case of any negative headlines, the focus will be on the 1.40-support level. If sterling breaks below that level, it could easily fall towards 1.3840, 1.3550 or even lower.

Chart_GBP_USD_Weekly_snapshot23.6.16

EUR/USD

Upcoming breakout? The euro traded with a tailwind, heading for a renewed test of 1.1350. In the light of the highly anticipated result of the U.K. vote traders should prepare for volatile swings in this pair. Above 1.1365 we see a higher likelihood of further bullish momentum, driving the euro towards 1.14 and 1.1440. Above 1.1470 it may head for 1.1520 and 1.1615. Bear in mind, that like the British pound, upswings might be limited as the focus will shift back to Federal Reserve rate-hike expectations in the aftermath of the vote. Extended upswings might be subject to a possible short squeeze which could be short-lived.

Below 1.1280 next lower targets could be at 1.1220 and 1.1160. Below 1.1150 the euro could drop towards 1.10 and even as low as 1.0830.

Chart_EUR_USD_Daily_snapshot23.6.16

It all depends on the results of the Bexit vote and we prepare for large movements to either side. We recommend traders to trade cautiously during the day as wild swings may wipe out open trades, making trading highly risky.

Brexit oder EU-Verbleib? Ein Schicksalstag für das Vereinigte Königreich

/in /by

Liebe Trader,

dies ist ein entscheidender Tag für das Vereinigte Königreich, denn der Inselstaat entscheidet heute über seine Mitgliedschaft in der Europäischen Union und somit über die Zukunft mit oder ohne die EU. Der Markt erwartet mit Spannung die Entscheidung. Die Wahllokale eröffnen heute um 7:00 Uhr Ortszeit, wobei die ersten Hochrechnungen wohl erst in den Abendstunden bekannt gegeben werden.

Das finale Ergebnis ist indes alles andere als sicher. Die letzten Umfragen zeigten das ‚Verbleib‘ Lager in Führung mit 48 Prozent für die EU-Befürworter im Gegensatz zu 42 Prozent für die EU-Gegner. Das Pfund erweiterte seine Gewinne jenseits der 1.48-Marke aufgrund der Annahme die Verbleib Kampagne könnte letztendlich siegen. Jedoch ist Vorsicht geboten: Sterling bewegt sich synchron mit den Quoten der Buchmacher, während die Gewinnchancen für beide Seiten weiterhin gleich sind. Das Sentiment kann sich somit zu jeder Zeit sehr schnell verändern.

„Bremain“ Szenario (EU Verbleib): Trader sollten hierbei berücksichtigen, dass, selbst im Falle eines Sieges der EU Befürworter, unbegrenzte Aufwärtsbewegungen keine ausgemachte Sache sind. Mit anderen Worten, könnten Gewinne im Britischen Pfund und Euro begrenzt bleiben, da der Fokus sich sofort nach der Wahl wieder der U.K. Wirtschaft und den Aussichten auf weitere Zinserhöhungen seitens der Federal Reserve richten wird. Da die Fed die erste Zentralbank sein wird, welche die Zinsen weiter anhebt, wird die Aufmerksamkeit dann wieder dem U.S. Dollar gewidmet. Diese Tatsache könnte Investoren davon abhalten massenhaft Käufe im Pfund und Euro zu tätigen.

„Brexit“ Szenario (EU Austritt): Im Falle eines Austritts aus der EU könnten die Währungen für massive Verluste anfällig sein, denn die Konsequenzen sind unkalkulierbar. Der Markt preist momentan einen möglichen Brexit aus, ein Grund dafür warum die Reaktion, im Falle von unerwarteten Überraschungen, überschießend sein könnte.

GBP/USD

Werfen wir einen Blick auf das Gesamtbild, so besteht die Möglichkeit einer bevorstehenden Trendumkehr. Kann das Pfund die 1.4850-Marke überwinden, so könnte es danach weiter bergauf gehen in Richtung der nächsten wichtigen Widerstandszone bei 1.52-1.5350. Oberhalb von 1.55 könnte es verlockend sein, einen Test von 1.60 zu antizipieren, jedoch wäre dies die optimistischste Vorhersage. Im umgekehrten Fall von negativen Schlagzeilen, richtet sich der Fokus wieder auf die 1.40-Unterstützung. Falls Sterling unterhalb jenes Levels ausbricht, so könnte es danach zügig bergab gehen gen 1.3840, 1.3550 oder sogar tiefer.

Chart_GBP_USD_Weekly_snapshot23.6.16

EUR/USD

Bevorstehender Ausbruch? Der Euro handelte mit Rückenwind in Richtung eines erneuten Tests von 1.1350. Aufgrund der hohen Erwartungen im Vorfeld des Ergebnisses der U.K. Wahl sollten sich Trader auf volatile Schwingungen in diesem Paar einstellen. Oberhalb von 1.1365 sehen wir Chancen auf weitere bullische Dynamik, welche den Euro bis 1.14 und 1.1440 steigen lassen könnte. Oberhalb von 1.1470 könnte es sogar bis 1.1520 und 1.1615 gehen. Berücksichtigt werden sollte, dass genauso wie im Britischen Pfund, Aufwärtsbewegungen womöglich begrenzt sein könnten. Der Fokus wird sich im Nachhinein wieder den Zinserwartungen widmen. Ausgiebige Aufwärtsbewegungen könnten eher eine Folge von einem kurzfristigen sogenannten „Short-Squeeze“ sein, welcher von kurzer Dauer sein könnte.

Unterhalb von 1.1280 wären tiefere Ziele bei 1.1220 und 1.1160 möglich. Unterhalb von 1.1150 könnte der Euro bis 1.10 und sogar bis zu einem Tief von 1.0830 absacken.

Chart_EUR_USD_Daily_snapshot23.6.16

Es hängt alles von dem Ergebnis des Referendums ab und wir werden uns auf große Bewegungen zu jeglicher Seite einstellen. Wir raten Tradern zur Vorsicht im Vorfeld der Hochrechnungen, denn wilde Schwingungen können offene Trades leicht ausradieren, was das Trading heute hoch-riskant macht.

Brexit Is The Big Elephant In The Room Urging The Fed To Adopt Slower Rate Hike Path

/in /by

Dear Traders,

The market reaction to the FOMC statement was more muted than expected. While the cable maintained a daily price level around the 1.42-mark, the euro surged to a high of 1.1298 after the Federal Reserve held interest rates steady. While the decision to leave rates steady in June was widely expected, Fed chair Yellen declined to provide any guidance on the timing of future rate increases during her press conference. However, the Fed has taken a more cautious stance with regard to next week’s referendum in the U.K., a decision that “could have consequences for economic and financial conditions in global financial markets (…) and in turn for the U.S. economic outlook”, Yellen said. At present, the Brexit vote is the greatest uncertainty in the market.

In the light of a slower approach to interest-rate increases, the U.S. dollar weakened but losses were limited as the dollar is profiting from its function as a safe haven amidst all uncertainties. Traders should bear in mind that as long as the market is biased by the upcoming Brexit vote we might not see any sustained movements in the currencies. Large investors are likely to wait until after the big event in order to take new positions.

Today, the focus shifts to the U.S. Consumer Price report scheduled for release at 12:30 UTC. In case of any unexpected surprises the dollar will respond accordingly. Apart from that most important piece of economic data, the Bank of England is scheduled to announce its monetary policy decision at 11:00 UTC but no changes are expected, making it a non-event for traders. Before the BoE interest rate decision, U.K. Retail Sales are due for release at 8:30 UTC which could have a minor impact on the pound.

From the Eurozone we have Consumer Prices scheduled for release at 9:00 UTC but if the report is in line with the expectations, it will not have a significant impact on the euro.

British Pound Rises As Brexit Seems Very Unlikely

/in /by

Dear Traders,

The British pound climbed more than 100 pips from our long-entry after latest polls show growing support for the Remain Camp in the June 23 referendum. As a result, the likelihood of a Brexit has significantly diminished and that’s currently helping the pound to regain some strength. We now see a next target at 1.4635 before a correction is becoming more likely. Above 1.4665 however, we see a higher likelihood of further upward swings towards 1.47.

Traders Await BoE Inflation Report

/in /by

Dear Traders,

Today will be a big day for sterling traders with the Bank of England Quarterly Inflation Report, Rate Decision and the speech by BoE Governor Mark Carney. While the BoE is not expected to change its monetary policy, traders will be looking for clues on policy makers’ thinking and await the outcome of the inflation report. As the June 23 referendum draws closer, the British pound is exposed to risk and any Brexit-related concerns remain a main driver in the currency pair. Even though Carney may emphasize that a potential Brexit entails a high risk for the financial stability in the U.K., he will have to avoid taking a position on any campaign.

The focus will mainly be on the inflation report and whether the central bank will raise its inflation forecasts. If inflation and growth forecasts have been revised higher, sterling could soar as a result. From a technical perspective, we still focus on a sustained break above 1.4480 in order to buy GBP towards higher levels. Yesterday’s rise above 1.4480 proved to be only short-lived and sterling traders had to face volatile but unsteady sideways swings without clear trends. We expect larger movements today in the GBP/USD and pay close attention to upside breaks above 1.4490 and 1.4520 and, on the bottom side, a downside break below 1.4390.

The BoE Inflation Report is scheduled for release at 11:00 UTC along with the BoE Rate Decision, while Carney is scheduled to speak 45 minutes later.

EUR/USD

The euro traded higher against the U.S. dollar but the 1.1450-level proved to be a short-term resistance as expected. If the euro climbs back above 1.1440 we see a next hurdle at 1.1470 from where it may reverse. In case the currency pair is able to trade significantly above 1.1470/80, euro bulls may push prices up towards 1.1520/40. However, on the downside the 1.14-barrier will be in focus and once this level is significantly breached to the downside we could see the euro falling towards 1.1335.

Chart_EUR_USD_4Hours_snapshot12.5.16

Eurozone Industrial Production is scheduled for release at 9:00 UTC but this report is not expected to have a major impact on the currency.

Bears Regained Some Control – The Calm Before The Storm?

/in /by

Dear Traders,

The British pound has begun to give up some of its gains and dropped below the 1.42-level. Meanwhile, the upcoming U.K. referendum and the Brexit debate have led to new tensions between lawmakers and the Bank of England. In yesterday’s hearing, the central bank was accused of being supportive of the “remain”-campaign, overstating the positives. Uncertainties surrounding a potential Brexit-scenario are weighing on the pound which is why the odds are in favor of further bearish momentum. The closer the June-vote approaches, the more tensions we can expect.

Next lower targets are seen at 1.4155 and 1.4110. If GBP breaks significantly below 1.41 we might see a slide towards 1.4060 and 1.4020. On the upside, gains were capped at 1.4275 and it would require a sustained break above 1.43 in order to revive fresh bullish momentum.

U.K. Industrial and Manufacturing Production figures are scheduled for release at 9:30 GMT, a report which could have a short-term impact on the cable.

The euro reversed just shy of 1.1060 and ended the day lower against the greenback. Our focus now shifts towards the 1.0950-support. A break below 1.0940 could drive the euro towards lower levels at 1.0910 and 1.0870. On the topside, the resistance-zone at 1.1060/70 remains intact.

There are no important economic reports from the Eurozone scheduled for release today but going into tomorrow’s crucial ECB meeting, the euro could be vulnerable to further losses.

Bearish Bias On GBP/USD And EUR/USD

/in /by

Dear Traders,

Uncertainty and potential risks in the event of a Brexit overshadowed the financial markets Monday and triggered a sharp sell-off in the British pound. Rating companies warned that a U.K. exit from the European Union would hurt business confidence and affect investment negatively. As a result, sterling fell to its lowest level in almost seven years, touching a fresh low at 1.4057. Traders are now wondering how low can GBP go and since we know about the sustainability of sterling’s trends and its ability to fall several consecutive trading days without a major correction, we expect further losses towards 1.40, 1.3960 and 1.39. We bear in mind that, for the time being, the 1.40-level could act as psychological barrier before heading towards record lows at 1.36. A next lower target could be at 1.4020, whereas current resistances are seen at 1.4250 and 1.43.

The next event risk for the pound will be Bank of England Governor Carney’s testimony scheduled at 10:00 GMT today. Carney testifies to lawmakers about the outlook for the U.K. economy and monetary policy and given the BoE’s latest inflation and growth projections, the odds favor further downside momentum.

The euro finally broke below 1.1070 and fell all the way down towards the 1.10-barrier, which has led a current support for the EUR/USD. We expect bearish potential to continue in the near-term, sending the currency pair towards 1.0970 and 1.0920. On the upside, previous support-areas at 1.1070 and 1.11 could now act as resistances.

The German IFO Survey is scheduled for release at 9:00 GMT and could have an short-term impact on the euro.

From the U.S. we will have Consumer Confidence scheduled for release at 15:00 GMT and figures are forecast to show a decline in February which could negatively affect the greenback in short time frames.
