Short'n'longs

Bears are dominating on EUR/USD now. The euro has lost more than 50 points during the Asian trading session. I’ll open deals in the current trend direction. I plan to wait for a correction to 1.1160-1.1175. I’m going to open short positions, if the price reaches this zone. Potential movement - to 1.1110-1.1080.

My favorite reversal formation is the divergence of the price and the MACD histogram as I'm pretty good at working with it. Such a situation has formed on NZD/USD (timeframe N1). I plan to open short positions here. I’ll sell after the price fixes below the 0.7040 support level. The goal for fixing profits is the 0.7000 round level. Signals for opening a position may appear during several days.

I can identify the following key levels on USD/JPY:
Support — 110.70
Resistance — 111.15.

It seems to me that the demand for safe assets can grow in the nearest future. It is rather difficult to predict what the report on the US labor market will be like on June 2, since the latest statistics from the United States was ambiguous. Also, the political risks in Britain are growing.

I’ll sell USD/JPY if the price fixes below 110.70. Potential movement - to 110.30. I’ll use a trailing stop for this position.

The bearish sentiment prevails on GBP/USD. I plan to open deals in the current trend direction. I’ll think of selling it after the price fixes below 1.2770 (a local extremum). The target level of movement is the 1.2700 round level. I’ll also use a trailing stop here.

The technical pattern indicates a possible correction on EUR/USD now. The price has held the 1.1250 resistance level. I plan opening short positions. I’ll sell it, if the price fixes below 1.1220. The goal for taking profit is 1.1190.

The divergence on NZD/USD has continued. There may be a correction in the near future. I plan to sell, if the price fixes below the 0.7070 support level. Confirmations and entry points to the market should be found on smaller timeframes. Potential movement - to the 0.7000 round level. Ill use a trailing stop for tracking the position. This transaction will be medium-term.

The statistics on the US labor market is in focus today. The most of experts expect the worsening of indicators. I’m not going to trade today but will watch the market carefully.
Yesterday's preliminary report from ADP and business activity in the US manufacturing sector turned out to be positive. It seems to me that today’s statistics will be quite strong and may exceed all market expectations. It may strengthen the dollar's position in the nearest future. Nevertheless, I’ll be back to trading only the next week.

USD/JPY

An interesting technical pattern has formed on GBP/USD. An "Ascending Triangle", a classical figure of technical analysis, has appeared. The price has overcame and fixed above the upper border of the figure. I plan to buy the pair, if the price fixes above 1.2940. Potential movement - to 1.2990-1.3035. This transaction will be medium-term.

I’ve identified the following key levels on EUR/USD:

I’ll buy, if the price fixes above the level of 1.1280. Potential movement - to 1.1325-1.1350.
I’ll sell, if the price fixes below the 1.1240 support level. The goal for taking profit is 1.1200.

There will be parliamentary elections in the UK tomorrow. GBP/USD will likely be in flat all the time before the results announcements. I’ve identified the following trading range: 1.2800-1.2925 and plan to wait until the elections are over. I’ll open positions from the key levels. There may be strong trend movements in the nearest future. So I’ll try to reduce the risk for that deal.

Aggressive sales are observed on USD/JPY. I’ll open deals in the current trend direction. I’ll sell the pair, if the price fixes below the 109.200 local support. Potential movement - to 109.00-108.75. I’ll use a trailing stop for tracking the position. At the moment, the demand for safe assets is at a high level.

I expect the growth of volativity and trading activity on EUR/USD today. The ECB will make a decision on interest rates at 11:45. At 12:30, a press conference will be held. The economic forecasts will be published.
I’ll reduce risks when opening a position. I plan to trade short-term.

Aggressive sales were observed on USD/CAD yesterday. It is caused by the fall of the “black gold” price. I’m going to wait for a correction to the 1.3490 mirror support. After the price reaches it, I’ll open longs. The goal for taking profit is 1.3520.

Aggressive sales were on GBP/USD. The pound is under pressure due to the results of the parliamentary elections in the UK. The Conservative Party won 314 seats, which is less than is required for the majority (326 seats). I plan to open deals in the current trend direction. I’ll sell GBP/USD, if the price fixes below the 1.2650 support. Target level - 1.2600. Potential entry points into the market may appear within a few days.

A correction is observed on USD/JPY now. It seems to me that the growth of this currency pair may continue. I plan to buy it after the price fixes above the 110.40 local resistance. Potential movement - to 111.00. The dollar is supported by the positive dynamics of the US government bonds yield.

Aggressive sales were observed on USD/CAD on Friday. This happened due to the release of a strong report on the Canada labor market. I plan to open trades in the current trend direction. I’ll sell the pair, if the price fixes below the 1.3440 local support. The goal of the price movement if 1.3420-3400.

A technical correction on NZD/USD shows us an opportunity of a correction after a significant growth during the next weekend. The price is testing the 0.7190 mirror resistance at the moment. I’ll sell it, if the price fixes below the 0.7180 local support. Potential movement – to 0.7125. I’ll use a trailing stop.

There is a downward trend on USD/CHF. I’m going to open shorts if the price fixes below the 0.9665 local support. The goal for taking profit is 0.9630.

My yesterday's expectations for USD/CAD have justified. The market was pressed by aggressive sales. The deputy head of the Bank of Canada noted that the regulator may discuss the question of the interest rate raising in the nearest future.
The technical pattern is ambiguous now. I don’t exclude a technical correction. The USD/CAD has formed a rather strong reversal formation – the divergence of the price and the MACD histogram.

I’ll buy, if the price fixes above the 1.3290 local resistance. Potential movement – to 1.3340.
I’ll sell the pair, if the price overcomes the 1.3255 mark. The goal for taking profit is 1.3225.
