USDCAD Weekly Technical Outlook

The USDCAD is operating a complex correction of a multi-year ascending trendline (red) on the weekly time frame traceable to 2012. An increase in bullish tone took price action above the trendline for much of 2018 to respect an inner ascending trendline (black), which was broken southwards in mid-August 2018. Price action is now heading northwards but apparently the momentum is waning and we may soon see a southward turnaround, somewhat of a temporary correction, which may retest the major ascending trendline (red) before a northward continuation. The 1.33860 area is a horizontal resistance and a significant horizontal support is around the 1.27890 area.

On the H4 time frame, price action is consolidating along an ascending channel (magenta). Last week Thursday, price action moved northwards into a horizontal resistance area around 1.33315/1.33860, which has held since June 2018, but was restrained by bears. Technically, we can expect another attempt at the zone by bulls and a sideways operation may be seen in the zone in the early part of this week. As I hold a bullish sentiment on this market, I will wait for a southward pullback to an area of value and look for a significant bullish setup on a daily time frame before entering the market.

EURNZD Weekly Technical Outlook

Since breaking down a support trendline (blue) on the weekly time frame in October 2018, the EURNZD market has continued its bearish tone. Three and two weeks ago, price action was operating within a support zone (1.65650/1.67550) on the weekly time frame – bound by horizontal magenta lines – that has held since November 2017. However, last week, it moved further southwards and now threatening the edge of another support area around 1.63130. Apparently, there is still more bearish sentiment in this market but it seems we are due fo a northward pullback before we can see further significant bearish continuation.

On the H4 time frame, price action has formed two impulse waves and is now in a corrective phase. Presently, it has moved below an area of consolidation (bound by horizontal magenta lines) associated with the broken down support zone, 1.65650/1.67550, seen on the weekly time frame. Apparently there is a slow down of southward momentum and we may witness a northward pullback in the early part of this week. Two minor descending trendlines can be seen on the H4 time frame, an outer one (red) and an inner one (black), both of which can act as resistance to a northward pullback of price action.

GBPAUD Weekly Technical Outlook

The GBPAUD continues to consolidate along a multi-year ascending channel (black) on the weekly time frame. Last week, price action tested the channel support but bulls resisted its breakdown. Presently, price action is located at a confluence of the channel support and a minor horizontal support near the 1.73130 area. We may see bears target the more significant horizontal support around 1.71240 if they successfully break the channel support. Otherwise, we may have a northward pullback to the immediate horizontal resistance around the 1.77780 area.

On the H4 time frame, price action is consolidating along the channel support seen on the weekly time frame. This is a slow down of a southward drive and we may see a pullback to retest a broken down (former) horizontal support. The channel resistance of a minor descending channel (blue) is a likely area that bulls may retest, but the minor horizontal resistance around the 1.75800 may be an alternative. Should price action turn southwards around the 1.75800 area, we may have a momentum for a southward drive. Personally, I will step aside and watch this market for clarity of price action in the first two days of trading this week.

EURNZD Weekly Technical Outlook

On the monthly time frame, the EURNZD is operating between the horizontal resistance zone around 1.75180 and the horizontal support zone around 1.63130. Presently, price action is near the support zone around 1.63130. But we should be interested in the ascending channel (red) traceable to 2016; which is likely to be influential in the market for quite a while. The breakdown of the horizontal support around 1.63130 is likely to give confidence to bears to target the channel support.

On the weekly time frame, last week, bulls pushed price action northwards in their attempt to retest a horizontal channel (blue) that was broken down two weeks ago but they were hindered by bears. Should bulls fail in their attempt to take price action northwards, we may see a southward continuation. A likely target of bears is the horizontal support around the 1.60760 area.

A simple wave analysis on the daily time frame indicates that price action is in a corrective phase. Much likely we are gong to see a southward continuation after price action has made a northward retracement, perhaps to around either the monthly pivot (1.67473) or the 1.69270 area, the 38.2 Fib retracement of the downward drop from October 8, 2018.

Price action on the H4 time frame reinforces the observation on the daily time frame. It is operating within a descending channel (magenta) and presently disposed northwards. We may see further northward move, albeit temporary, before a southward turnaround. The channel resistance is a potential turnaround area.

On the daily time frame, sideways of price action prevail between 1.12810 and 1.14640. Much likely a breakout of the 1.14640 resistance zone on a daily closing basis will lead to a northward momentum, while a breakdown of the support zone around 1.12810 will lead to a southward momentum. We should also note and be interested in the wedge/triangle pattern (magenta) visible on the daily time frame. A breach of either the wedge resistance or the wedge support on a daily closing basis is likely going to yield a feasible trading opportunity.

GBPUSD Weekly Technical Outlook

The GBPUSD market is slightly bearish but still ambivalent. The predominance of ‘top-wick’ candlesticks on the monthly time frame seems to indicate the market’s preference for a southward mood since April 2018. But the southward momentum is questionable. The 1.25900 zone is an natural target of any bearish continuation

A triangular pattern can be seen on the daily time frame (magenta). Recent price action is consolidating around the triangle support but the wicks at both ends of the candlesticks indicate that the market is currently ambivalent. The immediate support area that bears will have to breach is around 1.25900 while a medium-term bear target is naturally around the support in the 1.25530 area.

The H4 time frame shows price action rejecting a resistance area with predominantly top-wicky candlesticks and disposing towards the support of the triangle (magenta) seen on the daily time frame. Very much likely, a breakdown of the triangle support is imminent. Nevertheless, as there is a lack of momentum in the market, we may see further sideways of price action, and even some northward retracement, before that happens.

Here's an update on the EURNZD. We are likely to have a further northward retracement to a former support zone, probably the 1.66400/1.67130 area (bound by magenta horizontal lines) in the attached charts, before a southward turnaround. I remain bearish EURNZD.

As can be seen in the attached D1 chart, price action on EURNZD has moved northward and is now advancing beyond the zone I earlier earmarked. There is no bearish setup yet. Much likely bulls will be exposing the monthly pivot (1.67427) or even the 32.8 Fib zone of the significant downward drop from 1.76080, which is around 1.68270. I remain bearish EURNZD.

EURNZD Weekly Technical Outlook

The EURNZD market is still operating in an ascending channel (red) but with some ambivalence owing to lack of momentum. On the weekly time frame, price action is operating around the channel support. Last week, it printed an indecision candlestick that rejected the channel support. Current price action is located in an S/R zone, the 1.65330/1.66830 area.

On the daily time frame, a descending trendline (black) from October 2018 is acting as a resistance. Last week Friday, a bearish pinbar was printed around the trendline at the 1.65350/1.67266 area and we may expect some reaction towards further southward move in the early part of this week. The 1.63380 area is a horizontal support and likely a target of bears. Should bulls manage to take price action further northward, they may face resistance around the 1.67900 area.

I remain bearish EURNZD. Last week, I was looking for a bearish setup on a daily closing basis around the 1.66400/1.67420 area. This came last week Friday. However, I rarely rely on a Friday setup and will have to wait for the market to show its hand on Monday. I expect some northward pullback before another bearish setup.

GBPNZD Weekly Technical Outlook

The GBPNZD is a market that attracts my attention with a potential breakdown of an ascending trendline (red) traceable to 2016 on the monthly time frame. The bearish candlestick printed in November 2018 broke down the trendline, though not significantly.

On the weekly time frame, price action is operating on an ascending channel (red) associated with the ascending trendline seen on the monthly time frame. The channel support can be seen to extend to a lower trendline (blue) which indicates that price action is yet to break out of the trendline seen on the monthly time frame but is hovering around it. Last week, the market printed an indecision candlestick, akin to a long-tailed doji around the channel support. I expect some sideways of price action in the area in the early part of this week. Alternatively, we may see a northward retracement – which is likely to be temporary in nature, before a southward turnaround. The 1.86240 area is a likely resistance to such a northward retracement, while the 1.80250 area is an immediate horizontal support, and may be attractive as a target for bears.

USDCAD Weekly Technical Outlook

The USDCAD market is still on the northward mode. The most recent ascending trendline (blue) on the weekly time frame is acute and is far further away beyond a major ascending trendline (red) and an inner one (black), indicating an increase in bullish price action. Last week, a strong bullish candlestick was printed on the weekly time frame and price action has moved further away from the mean area. Therefore, we may have a southward pullback to a former area of value, perhaps the breached horizontal resistance around 1.33950/1.35600 (bound by magenta horizontal lines).

EURUSD Weekly Technical Outlook

The EURUSD market is still ambivalent, consolidating in a horizontal channel on the weekly time frame. The channel aligns with a resistance zone (1.12780/1.14470). Therefore, the top, long-tail candlestick printed last week is not seen by me as a bearish pinbar. In fact, I expect a northward pullback in the early part of the week before a southward move. A descending trendline (black) traceable to February 2018 is likely to act as resistance, while an ascending trendline (red) from the low of August 2017 can act as support. A break of the horizontal support around 1.12350 is likely to lead to a strong southward continuation.
