Technical analysis of EUR/USD for December 31, 2019

Posted: 31 Dec 2019 03:39 AM PST

analytics5e0b31e8a979d.png

Overview:

Pivot point: 1.1162.

The EUR/USD pair was continuing to trade upwards from the level of 1.1162.

Yesterday, the pair rose from the level of 1.1162 (daily pivot point) to the top around 1.1223.

Today, the first resistance level is seen at 1.1265 followed by 1.1303, while daily support is seen at 1.1162. According to the previous events, the EUR/USD pair is still moving between the levels of 1.1162 and 1.1303.

Consequently, we expect a range of 141 pips in coming hours. This would suggest a bullish market because the RSI indicator is still in a positive area and does not show any trend-reversal signs.

Subsequently, if the trend is able to break out through the first resistance level of 1.1265, we should see the pair climbing towards the new double top (1.1303) to test it.

On the contrary, if a breakout takes place at the support level of 1.1162, then this scenario may become invalidated. Remember to place a stop loss; it should be set below the second support of 1.1126.

December 31, 2019 : GBP/USD showing negative divergence while approaching the current Supply Levels.

Posted: 31 Dec 2019 01:35 AM PST

analytics5e0b14d89ac7e.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.

Technical short-term outlook turned into bearish since bearish persistence below 1.3000 was established on the H4 chart.

Hence, further bearish decline was expected towards 1.2840 - 1.2800.

However, earlier signs of bullish recovery manifested around 1.2900 denoted high probability of bullish breakout to be expected.

Intraday technical outlook turned into bullish after the GBP/USD has failed to maintain bearish persistence below the newly-established downtrend line.

That's why, bullish breakout above 1.3000 was anticipated. Thus allowing the current Intraday bullish pullback to pursue towards 1.3190-1.3200 where bearish rejection and another bearish swing can be watched by conservative traders.

Bearish reversal scenario around 1.3200 is supported by the recent negative divergence as depicted on the chart. If so, Intraday bearish target would be projected towards 1.3000.

We have already seen the expected corrective decline to 142.39. GBP/JPY should be ready to challenge the upside again. We expect a rally above 143.43 that will confirm a continuation of the upside movement to 145.36 in order to complete wave b on the ongoing a-b-c correction. The correction is expected to be completed near 139.82.

In a short-term perspective, a break above minor resistance at 142.89 will indicate that the minor correction is completed and the final leg of wave b towards 145.36 is unfolding.

Posted: 31 Dec 2019 01:17 AM PST

analytics5e0b119d53a25.png

After a minor correction EUR/JPY should be ready to challenge the upside again. There will be a rally towards 123.55. This rally will complete red wave iii and set the stage for a more prolonged correction in red wave iv.

In a short-term perspective, a break above minor resistance at 122.02 will indicate next upside attempt to start a rally to 122.50 on the way to a higher level of 123.55.

Only an unexpected break below the support level at 121.52 will indicate a development of a more complex correction in blue wave (iv). This will also call for another dip below 121.03.

R3: 122.50

R2: 122.20

R1: 122.00

Pivot: 121.85

S1: 121.69

December 31, 2019 : EUR/USD Intraday technical analysis and trade recommendations.

Posted: 31 Dec 2019 01:17 AM PST

analytics5e0b10fa3fa2f.jpg

Since November 14, the price levels around 1.1000 has been standing as a significant DEMAND-Level 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, another 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.

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

Quick bearish decline was demonstrated towards 1.1115 (Intraday Key-level) which got broken to the downside as well.

On December 20, bearish breakout of the depicted short-term channel was executed. Thus, further bearish decline was demonstrated towards 1.1065 where significant bullish recovery has originated.

The current bullish pullback towards 1.1235 (Previous Key-zone) should be watched for bearish rejection and another valid SELL entry.

On the other hand, bullish persistence above the price zone of 1.1175 favors the bullish side of the market. That's why, bearish breakout below 1.1175 is mandatory to allow next bearish target to be reached around 1.1120.

Trade recommendations :

Conservative traders should wait for evident bearish rejection signs around the price levels of (1.1235) as a valid SELL signal. Bearish projection target to be located around 1.1175 and 1.1120.

Any Bullish breakout above 1.1250 invalidates the mentioned bearish scenario

Posted: 30 Dec 2019 11:50 PM PST

Crypto Industry News:

Leading cryptocurrency exchange Binance will suspend ETH deposits and withdrawals to support the recently announced Ethereum Muir Glacier update, according to information published on the exchange's official blog. Deposits and withdrawals on the platform will be suspended before the block amount of 9,200,000.

While the upgrade will not affect Ethereum trading, deposits and withdrawals will be reopened when Binance decides that the improved network is stable. The Exchange emphasizes that it will not issue a separate message about the resumption of deposits and withdrawals, and recommends making deposits in full before upgrading.

"Leave sufficient time for full processing of deposits before the above ETH network block height. We will deal with all technical requirements for all users who have ETH on their Binance accounts," reads the announcement.

Described in the November 22 proposal by Ethereum developer James Hancock, the Muir Glacier update will be launched on the main network on January 1, 2020, at block 9 200,000. The exact date may change due to variable times and time zones of blocks, and block statistics in real-time are available on the website.

Technical Market Overview:

The ETH/USD pair has made the local high at the level of $136.64 and the candle that was used to make this high looks like a Pin Bar candlestick pattern. The bulls have temporary control of the market, but it might not last for long as the price is getting closer to the key technical resistance area. Nevertheless, it is worth to keep an eye on the current developments of the Ethereum market, despite the fact, that the market is currently trading aimlessly inside of a range. A breakout higher or lower can happen anytime now.

WR2 - $145.89

WR1 - $141.32

Weekly Pivot Point - $130.81

WS2 - $114.97

WS3 - $109.88

Posted: 30 Dec 2019 11:45 PM PST

Crypto Industry News:

An application for an ETF investment fund linked to Blockchain technology has been submitted to the Chinese national legislature, according to information disclosed by the Chinese Securities Commission.

The proposal submitted on December 24 by the Shenzhen Penghua Fund relates to an ETF that would track the results of a basket of listed shares from companies in the Blockchain sector.

If approved, the fund would be the first Blockchain ETF in China, according to information published by financial media.

On the same day the Penghua Fund was submitted, the Shenzhen stock exchange announced the "Blockchain 50 Index". The index consists of the top 50 Blockchain companies listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in terms of market capitalization. Apparently, the list includes Ping An Bank, Midea Group and Zixin Pharmaceutical, among others. Companies from the new index reflect a wide cross-section of the industry, with specializations covering hardware development, technology and services as well as Blockchain applications.

If the Penghua Fund proposal is successful, many other asset managers will probably follow suit with their own fund proposals. Even now, when the Blockchain sector is still in its infancy, deepening political guidelines and the growing number of established companies in the industry may increase the popularity of national ETFs related to Blockchain.

Technical Market Overview:

The BTC/USD pair has been trading inside of a tight range located between the levels of $7,461 - $7,195. At the top of this range, another Pin Bar candlestick pattern has been made, which might indicate a possibility of a wave down.
