Reminder of key levels, daytrade outcomes: - Small pullback to 38.2 - Pullback with trendline break to 61.8 Risk-off scenario - Market goes sideways, trendline breakout fails - Attempt to go below MONTHLY 50 MA support
Wait for trendline to break, otherwise no trade TP1: Fib 38.2% TP2: Fib 50%
No trade in EURUSD until: - 61.8 Fib level tested and confirmed or - 100 DMA reached and rejected
20 DMA support - SL H1 range break is entry RR: 1:4 (more with trailing)
Supporting long: Daily trendline break, with candlestick support + retest Sensitive stock market sentiment TP: 4% SP: 0.9%
Supporting Long: - H4 EMAs are the support - trend continuation candlestick pattern - 3-5% upside potential till D1 EMAs
Picture tells all, if Chinese data or Risk sentiment falls, this setup will fail.
I have missed two nice long entries. Watching the rally on the sidelines until next big resistance D1 200 EMA.
Sentiment is improving with US500 breaking higher and higher ZAR is a carry ccy -> costs to short it Technical: - failed H1 long attempt - 5% to the 200 EMA on H4
At current situation SPX500 has very poor Risk-Reward Ratio, the next big move is 50-50% to the up or downside. I see no bias to any direction. In waiting mode....
The picture tells it all. Key risk: Friday NFP volatility
NOK got undervalued due to the OIL price decline Norges Bank interest rate: 1.5% vs ECB 0% -> carry favors NOK Inflation is also higher in Norway I went short on technical + fundamental factors coinciding.
Support for ZAR weakening: - Profit-taking on stock markets approaching year-end -> USD safe-haven appeal - Strong technical support for USDZAR @ 200 DMA - Break out pattern on Daily chart
NZDUSD - bottom of channel + MA support 1:3 RR
- cca 4% divergence from 200 DMA -> looking to see a pullback - TP is set @ 38.2 Fib level - 1:3 RR potential - ahead of US NFP data, but less influence
Test of 200 DMA + tiny candlestick = short correction. First TP around $60 per barrel for Brent. Supportive: USD strength (more hawkish Fed, stronger NFP)
