Technical analysis of AUD/USD for December 24, 2019

Posted: 24 Dec 2019 04:37 AM PST

analytics5e0202fad108d.png

Overview:

The AUD/USD pair is continuing trading upwards from the level of 0.6887. Yesterday, the pair rose from the level of 0.6887 to the top around 0.6920. Also, it should be noted that the level of 0.6887 coincides with the ratio of 61.8% Fibonacci retracement levels.

The AUD/USD pair broke resistance at the level of 0.6887 which turned into strong support at the golden ratio.

In the H1 time frame, the level of 0.6887 is expected to act as major support today. Currently, the price is moving in a bullish channel.

This is confirmed by the RSI indicator signaling that we are still in a bullish market. The price is still above the moving average (100) and (50).

From this point, we expect the AUD/USD pair will be continuing to move in the bullish trend from the support level of 0.6887 towards the target level of 0.6940.

The double top is set at the point of 0.6940 at the same time frame.

If the pair succeeds in passing through the level of 0.6940, the market will indicate the bullish opportunity above the level of 0.6940 so as to reach the second target at 0.6969.

On the contrary, in case a reversal takes place and the AUD/USD pair breaks through the support level of 0.6887, a further decline to 0.6801 can occur in order to indicate a bearish market.

Overall, we still prefer the bullish scenario, which suggests that the pair will stay above the zone of 0.6887 today.

analytics5e01f68532024.jpg

Since November 14, the price levels around 1.1000-1.0995 has been standing as a significant DEMAND zone which has been offering adequate bullish SUPPORT for the pair on two successive occasions.

Shortly-after, the EUR/USD pair has been trapped within a narrower consolidation range between the price levels of 1.1000 and 1.1085-1.1100 (where a cluster of supply levels and a Triple-Top pattern were located) until December 11.

On December 11, significant bullish swing was initiated around 1.1040 allowing recent bullish breakout above 1.1110 to pursue towards 1.1175 within the depicted newly-established bullish channel.

Intraday bearish rejection was expected around the price levels of (1.1175).

Quick bearish decline was demonstrated towards 1.1115 (38.2% Fibonacci level) which got broken to the downside as well.

On Friday, further bearish decline was demonstrated towards 1.1065 where early signs of bullish recovery is currently manifested.

Any bullish pullback towards 1.1115 should be watched for bearish rejection and another SELL entry.

On the other hand, If earlier bearish decline below 1.1065 is demonstrated, next bearish projection target would be located around 1.1010.

Trade recommendations :

Conservative traders should wait for a bullish pullback towards 1.1115 ( reversal pattern neckline ) as a valid SELL signal.

Bearish projection target to be located around 1.1090, 1.1040 and 1.1010.

Posted: 24 Dec 2019 02:57 AM PST

analytics5e01ee5e7d5c5.jpg

In the period between October 17 to December 4, the GBP/USD pair has been trapped between the price levels of 1.2780 and 1.3000 until December 4 when bullish breakout above 1.3000 was achieved.

Moreover, a newly-established short-term bullish channel was initiated on the chart.

The GBPUSD has recently exceeded the upper limit of the depicted bullish channel on its way towards 1.3500 where the pair looked quite overpriced.

This was followed by successive bearish-engulfing H4 candlesticks which brought the pair back towards 1.3170 quickly.

Further bearish decline was pursued towards 1.3000 which got broken to the downside as well.

Short-term outlook remains bearish as long as bearish persistence below 1.3000 is maintained on the H4 chart.

Further bearish decline is expected towards 1.2840 - 1.1800 provided that bearish persistence below the newly-established downtrend line is maintained ( Low Probability ).

However, early signs of bullish recovery as well as some positive divergence are being manifested on the chart denoting a high probability bullish reversal to be expected soon.

That's why, Intraday bullish pullback may be anticipated to occur towards 1.3170-1.3190 where bearish rejection and another bearish swing can be initiated.

GBP/USD: plan for the European session on December 24. A trade agreement with the EU

Posted: 23 Dec 2019 08:25 PM PST

To open long positions on GBPUSD, you need:

It seems to have started what was before the results of the parliamentary elections in Great Britain when the pound was bought just without stopping, and everyone was waiting for a downward correction. The same thing is now happening with sales, and it is not clear where to look for the bottom. Bulls will try to protect the support of 1.2930 today, but only the formation of a false breakout on it will be a signal to open long positions. For a more reliable buying scenario, it is best to postpone until the lows of 1.2879 and 1.2831 are updated. No less important task of the bulls will be the return and consolidation at the resistance level of 1.3000, from where we can expect a larger upward correction to the levels of 1.3074 and 1.3128, where I recommend taking the profits.

To open short positions on GBPUSD, you need:

The pair were not deterred from falling by the statements of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson that a trade agreement with the EU would be developed according to the interests of all parties. The only thing left for the bears today is to return the pound under the support of 1.2930, which forms a new downward channel and will lead to further preservation of the trend with the exit to the area of lows of 1.2879 and 1.2831, where I recommend taking the profits. In the scenario of GBP/USD growth in the first half of the day, you can return to short positions on a false breakout near the maximum of 1.3000, or sell the pound immediately on a rebound from the resistance of 1.3074.

Indicator signals:

Moving Averages

Trading is conducted below the 30 and 50 moving averages, which indicates a possible further decline in the pound.

Bollinger Bands

Support will be provided by the lower border of the indicator in the area of 1.2900, while growth will be limited to the upper level of the indicator in the area of 1.2989.

EUR/USD: plan for the European session on December 24. Data on the US economy pushed traders away from purchases of the US

Posted: 23 Dec 2019 08:03 PM PST

To open long positions on EURUSD, it is required:

Yesterday's data on a sharp reduction in orders for long-term goods in the US did not allow the bears to maintain pressure on the pair, which limited the downward potential and led to a slight upward correction, with a return to the level of 1.1090, which is now transformed into the resistance of 1.1095. The entire focus is shifted to this area, and since no important fundamental statistics are scheduled to be released today, volatility is likely to remain at a low level. The only consolidation above the range of 1.1095 will lead to a larger upward correction in the area of the maximum of 1.129, above which it will be quite difficult to breakthrough. In the case of continued pressure on EUR/USD, it is best to return to long positions only on the support test of 1.1069, subject to the formation of a false breakout, or a rebound from a larger minimum of 1.1041.

To open short positions on EURUSD, it is required:

Sellers will protect the resistance of 1.1095, and the formation of a false breakout there will be a direct signal to open short positions in the continuation of the downward trend to update the lows of 1.1069 and 1.1041, where I recommend fixing the profits there. In the absence of pressure on the euro around 1.1095, it is best to postpone the sale until the update of the maximum of 1.129. It is also recommended to sell immediately on the rebound in the resistance area of 1.1172, the test of which will indicate the formation of a new upward trend in the euro.

Indicator signals:

Moving Averages

Trading is conducted in the area of 30 and 50 moving averages, which indicates market uncertainty.

Bollinger Bands

Volatility is low, which does not give signals to enter the market.

Forecast for EUR/USD for December 24, 2019

Posted: 23 Dec 2019 07:57 PM PST

EUR/USD

On Monday, weaker-than-expected US data were released, which strengthened the upward correction for the euro. The volume of orders for durable goods in the November estimate showed a decrease of 2.0% against the expectation of growth of 0.2%, the core index of orders (Core Durable) showed a zero increase against the forecast of 1.5%. Sales of new homes in November amounted to 719 thousand, the forecast was 734 thousand, and the October figure of 733 thousand was revised down to 710 thousand.

analytics5e017ee2afbbb.png

Today is a weekend in Germany, Switzerland, Italy, and other regions, including the United States, have a shortened trading day. The euro needs to overcome the support of the embedded price channel line at 1.1058 (daily) to break down. After yesterday's data, it is already unlikely that investors will decide on such an operation today. If the support is overcome, the target of 1.1032 is opened - the MACCD line on the daily scale chart.

analytics5e017f05aaab5.png

As seen on the four-hour chart, the price is developing under the indicator lines of balance and MACD, the Marlin oscillator is in the zone of decline and no signs of its reversal have yet been created. We are waiting for the continuation of the price reduction.

Forecast for GBP/USD for December 24, 2019

Posted: 23 Dec 2019 07:57 PM PST

GBP/USD

On Monday, the British pound easily overcame the support of the MACD indicator line and the Fibonacci level of 161.8% on the daily scale chart. The next target of 1.2820, defined by the Fibonacci level of 138.2% is open. After that, the next target will be the Fibonacci level of 123.6% at 1.2730. The Marlin oscillator is steadily decreasing.

analytics5e017e55752ab.png

As seen on the four-hour chart on the Marlin oscillator, a double convergence has formed, but it can be pushed by the dynamics of the higher timeframe. In the case of working out the convergence of corrective growth, the movement is likely to be not large, as it is hindered by yesterday's resistance levels, and now the price is in the November consolidation zone, and it would be more logical for the market to work out its entire range, at least up to 1.2820.

Forecast for AUD/USD for December 24, 2019

Posted: 23 Dec 2019 07:57 PM PST

AUD/USD

On Monday, the Australian dollar rose by 22 points and was stopped by the upper limit of consolidation from November 5. According to the Marlin oscillator, an original triple divergence was formed. As a consequence, now we are waiting for the price to turn down. The target of 0.6850 is to support the embedded line of the red price channel. The upper line of the price channel may not be reached.

analytics5e017d7934d82.png

As seen on the four-hour chart, the situation is rising: the price is above the balance and MACD indicator lines, the signal line of the Marlin oscillator is in the growth zone. To form a reversal signal, we are waiting for a price decrease under the MACD line (0.6900). At this point, visually, the Marlin signal line will move into the negative numbers zone.
