Euro

General overview

The euro got under pressure when Mario Draghi (the European Central Bank Governor) warned the market that the weak economic growth in the Eurozone could lead to a "long-term losses."

Current situation

The pair EUR/USD spent almost the whole Friday at the level of 1.1300. The pair consolidated after a sharp decrease that had happened a day earlier. The EUR/USD returned to a decrease at the American session and ended the trading week in the red zone at the mark of 1.1250. The resistance is at 1.1300, the

The price broke through Moving Averages (50, 100 and 200) on the 4 hour chat. The Moving Averages crossed each other on the 4 hour time frame, showing that the price is changing its direction.

Trading recommendations

Even though the indicators look bearish we prefer to stay away from a trading before the Fed meeting.
The market is going to be volatile that increases risks.

If we decide to sell we would wait for the price to consolidate below Moving Averages (50, 100 and 200) on the 4 hour chart. Another sell signal is MACD in the negative area. The sellers’ target is the level 1.1200. Otherwise we would see a bounce upwards to 1.1370.



Pound

General overview

The British pound fell against the dollar due to concerns regarding the upcoming referendum on 23 rd of June. According to Timex/YouGov 43% of Britons would vote to stay in the union and 42% would leave it.

Trading recommendations

The price is oversold and it may bounce upwards to the strong level 1.4400. If we see the price below the support 1.4320 we would sell to 1.4150



Yen

General overview

The yen is under pressure on the eve of Japanese and the USA Central Bank meetings. The referendum in the Great Britain is another factor that pressured the yen. We believe that the industrial production and retail sales report in China may well set the tone for trading in the new week.

Current situation

The yen spent last Friday at the level 107.00. The pair remained in a range between levels of 106.60 and 107.30. The resistance is at 107.00, the support is at 106.00.

The pair USD/JPY is below the Moving Averages (50, 100 and 200) on the 4 hour chart. The pair is on its lows from 2014 at the daily chart.

Trading recommendations

CAD

General overview

On one hand Initial Jobless claims in the USA supported the dollar that grew in the USA/CAD. On the other hand the oil quotes decrease dispelled the demand for the Canadian dollar. Both these factors helped the pair to recover.

Current situation

The USD/CAD showed volatile trades last Friday. The pair fell in the European session, still sellers were not able to move the price below 1.2680.

stands at 1.2800, the support comes in at 1.2680.

Trading recommendations

We believe the pair will correct as it is oversold and is on the strong support on the daily chart. The MACD is growing. The RSI bounced off the oversold area. In addition the price went too far from the Moving Averages and shall grow to them. We believe the pair shall reverse to 1.3000.

As an alternative scenario the pair may decrease to the round level 1.2500.



GOLD

General overview

Low expectations that the USA regulator will hike the rate this month supported the gold last week.

Current situation

MACD is in a positive area. The signal line is in the histogram. MACD grew on Friday that is a buy signal. RSI is in the overbought level of 70. That is a sell signal. The price is above Moving Averages (50, 100 and 200).

Trading recommendations

The gold is close to the strong resistance 1280 on the daily chart. Besides the metal is overbought. The gold may start a correction soon. The sellers’ target is the mark 1200. Nevertheless we recommend staying away from trading before the situation about the USA rates becomes clear. The gold futures may keep growing if the Fed leaves the rates unchanged



Brent

General overview

Brent fell after reaching almost yearly highs. The correction happened due to the strengthening of the dollar. However, refineries and supply disruptions from Nigeria still support the oil.

Current situation

The oil quotes stopped their growth. The Brent decreased and broke a number of levels on its way: 52.50, 51.50. The oil futures ended the week at the mark 50.50. The resistance comes in at 51.50, the support lies at 50.50.

13.06.2016

Euro

General overview

The risk aversion and the growth of the pair EUR/GBP supported the euro. The economic calendar was empty on Monday as a result we had a low volatile day. Now the attention of the market is turned to the Fed meeting.

Current situation

The pair EUR/USD spent almost the whole Monday at the level of 1.1250. The pair consolidated after a sharp decrease that had happened last week. The quotes began its correction during the American session. The EUR/USD managed to test 1.1300. The resistance is at 1.1300, the support is at 1.1250.

MACD is in the negative area. MACD decreased, that is a sell signal. RSI bounced from the oversold area. That is a buy signal. The rebound above 1.1250 should be considered corrective.
The 50 Moving Average is directed downwards, that is a sell signal

Trading recommendations

The market looks bearish. We feel comfortable taking short-term sell positions. Shall the pair decrease it will fall to 1.1130. We also do not exclude a corrective growth to the level 1.1370 if the price bounces upwards from the Moving Averages (50, 100 and 200).



Pound

General overview

The British pound fell against the US dollar last week as investors are seriously concerned that the UK may leave the EU.

Current situation

The sellers controlled the market. The quotes continued their decrease and broke the level 1.4240 on Monday and touched 1.4150. All buyers’ attempts to grow met the serious resistance from the sellers’ part. The GBP/USD tried to recover but failed. The pair touched the resistance 1.4320 and immediately fell again below 1.4240. The resistance is at 1.4240, the support come in at 1.4150.

MACD is in the negative area. The MACD does not show any divergence. The indicator decreased, that is a sell signal. RSI is in the oversold zone. That is a buy signal. The pair consolidated below Moving Averages (50, 100 and 200) on the 4 hour chart that worsened its short term outlook. The price is close to the bottom of the market that was set in the beginning of 2016.

Trading recommendations

The price is oversold, the market looks bearish. The price may bounce upwards to the level 1.4320. However a drop back below 1.4150 may force the GBP/USD to resume its downward trajectory and fell below 2016 lows.



Yen

General overview

The yen strengthened against the dollar. The Japanese currency gained an additional impulse when the weak economic data in China and Japan worsened the outlook for the economic growth in Asia.

Current situation

The yen continued its decrease and tested the support at 106.00. The pair remained under pressure due to upcoming events: the Fed and BoJ meetings. The yen is in demand being a safe heaven currency. The resistance is at 107.00, the support is at 106.00.

MACD indicator is in a negative area, the histogram decreased. MACD shows a convergence (that is a strong reversal signal). RSI is close the oversold level of 30. That is a buy signal. The pair USD/JPY is below the Moving Averages (50, 100 and 200) on the 4 hour chart. The pair is on its lows from 2014 at the daily chart.

Trading recommendations

The pair may decrease further as the risks kept growing in the market amid the upcoming Fed and BoJ meetings. The pair may decrease to 105.30. We still may see a rebound up to 108.00.



AUD

General overview

The AUD / USD rose when the market received positive data from China. According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the Industrial Production PMI remained unchanged, its results were higher than economists' expectations. Australian Financial markets were closed for a public holiday on Monday.

Current situation

The AUD/USD decreased last week due to the dollar strengthening. The pair started with a growth the current week. The pair could reverse some of its losses. The AUD/USD was able to reach the mark of 0.7400 where the growth slowed down. The resistance stands at 0.7500, the support comes in at 0.7400.

MACD is on the zero line, the indicator does not give a signal. The indicator RSI is in the neutral area. The price is above Moving Averages (50, 100 and 200) on the 4 hour chart. The Moving Averages (50 and 200) work as a support for the pair.

Trading recommendations

The quotes bounced off the Moving Averages (50 and 200). The price may grow to the local high at 0.7500. As an alternative scenario the pair will decrease to the level 0.7270 and further to 0.7140.



GOLD

General overview

On Monday, the gold futures grew to fresh four-week highs. Investors prepared for the Fed meeting.

Current situation

The gold quotes tried to continue their growth on Monday. However, the wave of growth slowed down and stopped at the mark of 1287. The pair spent the whole day just above the level of 1280. The resistance is at 1300, the support lies at 1280.

MACD is in a positive area that is a buy signal. The signal line is in the histogram. RSI is in the overbought level of 70. That is a sell signal. The price is above Moving Averages (50, 100 and 200). There was a crossover on the Moving Averages that is a sell signal.

Trading recommendations

The gold metal is overbought. We expect a correction. The sellers’ target is the mark 1260.



Brent

General overview

The Brent prices continued to decline as the weak economic data from Asia had revived concerns about the global economic outlook. The strengthening of the US also had a negative impact on the oil prices.

Current situation

The oil quotes stopped their decrease and even made an attempt to grow. The Brent started the week from the support at 49.60. The futures grew to the level of 50.50 but failed to consolidate above it. The resistance comes in at 50.50, the support lies at 49.60.

MACD is in the negative area, its signal line is in the histogram. MACD decreased and that is a sell signal. RSI bounced off the oversold level of 30. That is a buy signal. The Brent quotes bounced off the 100 Moving Average that is a buy signal.

Trading recommendations

The Brent may return to a growth if it breaks the resistance 50.50 (the 50 Moving Average). If the quotes consolidate over 51.00 it will advance north to 52.50. Otherwise we will see a drop below 49.60.



Dax30

General overview

On Monday, the European stock indices opened with a sharp decrease, as investors remained cautious ahead of meetings of two Central Banks (the US and Japanese). The oil prices decrease pressured the indices as well.

Current situation

The index showed low volatile trades and remain at the opening prices level during the Asian and European sessions. The price fell at the American session. The new local low is at 9630. The resistance comes in at 9760, the support is at 9550.

MACD is in the negative area that is a sell signal. RSI is in the oversold area. The index fell through Moving Averages 50, 100 and 200 and moved away from them. The level 9760 is a strong support on the daily chart.

Trading recommendations

The index is oversold. We expect a correction this week. Shall the Dax30 increase it will grow to 1000. If the index consolidates 9670 it will fall deeper to 9550.



SP500

General overview

The weakening of the dollar and the growth of oil prices pressured the USA indices. All indices are in the "red zone" in anticipation of upcoming statistical data in the US (the rate hike, retail sales, inflation and others.)

Current situation

The index tried to recover on Monday. SP500 bounced from the support 2086 and grew to the current resistance 2100. SP500 failed to grow further and returned at the opening price level. The resistance comes at 2100, the support is at 2086.

MACD is in the negative area that is a bearish signal. RSI is close to the oversold area. That is a buy signal. The index broke through the 50 Moving Average and stopped on the 100 Moving Average. There is an upward trend on the daily chart.

Trading recommendations

If the price consolidates above 2100 the price may return to the growth. If the index does make a breakout at that level 2100 we will see a drop to 2070

15.06.2016

Euro

General overview

Even though the Eurozone published positive industrial production report the euro continued its decrease. The euro is near the new lows of the week due to German government bonds yields falling and due to concerns about the referendum in the UK.

Current situation

The price moved in the descending price channel. Its low boundary is at 1.1230, the upper boundary is located at 1.1300. Yesterday the growth wave faded away, sellers returned to the market. The pair EUR/USD fell from the resistance 1.1300. The price broke the level of 1.1250 and approached the mark of 1.1200. The pair began a consolidation phase. The resistance is at 1.1250, the support is at 1.1200.

MACD is in the negative area. MACD decreased, that is a sell signal. RSI is in the oversold area. If oscillator leaves the oversold area upwards it will give a buy signal. The Moving Averages (50, 100 and 200) are parallel to each other. The main trend is down.


Trading recommendations

The pair now seems to be heading towards the support near 1.1130. The level of 1.1300 limits the growth of the pair. An uptrend will start as soon, as the pair rises above this resistance.



Pound

General overview

Yesterday the pound was trading nearly two-month low against the dollar. The inflation in May remained at the same level, while the concerns about the Brexit pressured the pound.

Current situation

Technically, the main trend is down on the daily chart. The pair continued its decrease and broke the level 1.4240. The decrease was stopped by the resistance 1.4150. The pair spent the last part of the day near that level. The resistance is at 1.4240, the support come in at 1.4150.

MACD is in the negative area. The indicator decreased, that is a sell signal. RSI is in the oversold zone. We consider that as a buy signal. The pair is below Moving Averages (50, 100 and 200) on the 4 hour chart. The Moving Averages are directed downwards. That is a sell signal.

Trading recommendations

The quotes are near the year low and we do not think the pair will break it easily. The support 1.4060 limits the decrease of the pair. If this level can hold we will see a bounce off to the level 1.4400. An downtrend will start as soon as the pair drops below this support level.



Yen

General overview

On Tuesday, Taro Aso (Japanese Finance Minister) warned the market against the latest strengthening of the yen. According to Taro Aso the officials would "respond decisively" to prevent speculative movements in the currency market.
Current situationThe yen continued its decrease and set a new day low at 105.64. After reaching the mark 105.64 was in a sideway, remaining under pressure. The resistance is at 107.00, the support is at 106.00.

MACD indicator is in a negative area, the histogram decreased. MACD shows a convergence. RSI is close the oversold level of 30. That is considered as a buy signal. The pair USD/JPY is below the Moving Averages (50, 100 and 200) on the 4 hour chart. The pair is on the year lows on the daily chart.

Trading recommendations

If the support 105.30 will be broken, the price may fall further to 104.50. An uptrend will start as soon as the pair grows above the resistance level 107.00.



NZD

General overview

The market is not ready to risk before the main events of this week (the Fed and BoJ meetings). The decrease of the European Bonds markets and the bearish tone around oil prices pressured the pair NZD/USD.

Current situation

The NZD/USD returned below the level of 0.7050. The pair was under pressure and headed towards the level 0.6950. The resistance stands at 0.7050, the support comes in at 0.6950.

MACD is on the zero line. If MACD went into the negative area it shall give a sell signal. The indicator RSI is in the neutral area. The indicator is approaching the oversold area. The price is above Moving Averages (50, 100 and 200) on the 4 hour chart. The price is close to the 50 Moving Average which is just above the nearest support line. The MA can stop the quotes from the decrease or can bounce them up.

Trading recommendations

The level 0.7000 used to be a strong resistance, now it is the key level for a downtrend. We hardly can imagine the strengthening of the NZD when the anti-risk sentiment prevails. Our eyes are right now at the support level 0.6950. If the pair breaks it the way to the level 0.6850 will be open.



GOLD

General overview

The gold futures took a pause before the Fed meeting results announcement.

Current situation

The gold futures declined during the Asian and the European sessions on Tuesday. The metal returned to a growth during the American session. The gold set a new day high at the mark 1289. The gold is trying to consolidate above the level of 1280.00 and continue to grow on the one hour chart. The resistance is at 1300, the support lies at 1280.

MACD is in a positive area, the histogram declined that is a sell signal. The signal line left the histogram. That is a pivot signal. RSI is in the overbought level of 70. That is a buy signal. Shall the signal line leave the overbought zone down we will get a sell signal. The price is above Moving Averages (50, 100 and 200). There was a crossover on the Moving Averages. The Moving Averages are directed upwards.

Trading recommendations

The gold futures are at 1280.00 on the daily chart. That is a very important level which may act as a further level of support if the price closes above it. Therefore, it is the best to wait for a consolidation above or below the level.



Brent

General overview

The Brent declined when investors ignored signs of narrowing of the market due to concerns about the global growth slow down and stock markets decrease before the referendum in the UK.

Current situation

The oil futures spent the day in a sideway movement that was between 49.50 and 50.00. The resistance comes in at 50.50, the support lies at 49.50.
MACD is in the negative area, its signal line is in the histogram. MACD decreased and that is a sell signal. RSI is close to the oversold level of 30. The Brent quotes are below Moving Averages (50 and 100) that serve as a resistance.

Trading recommendations

If the Brent remains below 50.50 it shall decrease to 48.50. Alternatively, the Brent may grow to 51.50.



Nasdaq

General overview

The US stock indexes fell due to the increased traders’ nervousness before the meeting of the Fed and the referendum in the UK.

Current situation

The index tried to recover on Tuesday. Nasdaq reversed to 4430. Sellers returned to the market at the American session and sent the price down. The index fell through the support 4400 and stopped at 4383. The resistance comes at 4400, the support is at 4350.

MACD is in the negative area that is a bearish signal. RSI is in the oversold area. If the line leaves the oversold area upwards we shall get a buy signal. The index broke through the 200 Moving Average. The 50 and 100 Moving Averages are above the price.

Trading recommendations

We believe the index shall decrease until the Fed announces its decision regarding the rate. The weakness of the market can send the index to the support 4350. Nasdaq can bounce to 4440.



SP500

General overview

The key stock indices closed the day in the "red zone" on expectations of a two-day meeting of the Fed. Current situationThe index tried to recover and was able to reach 2061 when sellers returned to the market and sent the price down. SP500 quotes broke the level 2070 and set a new local low at 2060. The resistance comes in at 2070, the support is at 2055.

MACD is in the negative area that is a bearish signal. RSI is in the oversold area. If the line leaves the oversold area we shall get a buy signal. The index broke through the 200 Moving Average. The 50 and 100 Moving Averages are above the SP500. There is an upward trend on the daily chart.

Trading recommendations

If the price remains below the level 2070 (SMA 200) the downtrend will be continued. Any move above this level should be considered corrective.

Euro

General overview

The euro significantly fell against the US dollar. The latest Fed meeting returned interest to the US currency. The USA published Initial Jobless Claims that turned out to be worse than the forecast. Nevertheless the USA statistics had little impact on the pair.

Current situation

The pair left more that 0.60% during the Thursday trades. The EUR/USD fell from the beginning of the European session. The pair decreased from 1.1300 to 1.1130.

The resistance is at 105.30, the support is at 104.50.

After MACD decreased, there was a sell signal from the indicator. RSI is in the oversold level. If RSI remain in the oversold area we will get another sell signal.

The pair is on the year lows on the daily chart. The pair is on the year lows.

On Thursday, the gold futures rose to the highest mark since August 2014. The recent monetary decisionsof the Federal Reserve System and the Bank of Japan supported the gold metal.

MACD is in a positive area, the histogram moved downwards that is a sell signal. RSI left the overbought level of 70. If the price enters the overbought area again we will see a return to the growth. The price is above Moving Averages (50, 100 and 200). The Moving Averages direction is upwards.

Trading recommendations

The Fed and BoJ decisions supported the gold. We do not see a ceiling for the gold. The metal can grow further taking into consideration the upcoming referendum in the UK. The next buyers’ targets are the marks 1315, 1330 and 1350



Brent

General overview

On Thursday, the Brent prices fell to the four-week lows. The market concerns that the Great Britain may leave the European Union pressured the appetite for the risky assets. The Brent futures fell due to the reduced concerns about the global supply disruptions.

S&P 500

General overview

The US Bonds market has been falling for five consecutive sessions. The Fed decision to leave its key interest rate unchanged did not support the index. Now the Fed plans a smaller number of rates hikes in 2017 and 2018 and that fact pressured SP500.

20.06.2016

Euro

General overview

We noticed a growth of risk appetite last Friday. However we do not believe the euro will grow. It may fall against the pound, if the UK decides to stay in the EU or if the UK decides to stay in the alliance the euro may fall in other pairs.

Current situation

The pair remained in a downside channel. Even though the pair made attempts to grow it failed to break the trend line. The indicators recommend short positions. Any growth above 1.1300 should be considered corrective. The resistance is at 1.1300, the support come in at 1.1250.

MACD is in the negative area. The indicator grew that indicated the current correction If MACD returns to a decrease there will be a sell signal. RSI is growing, it is also a buy signal. The Moving Averages (50, 100 and 200) are parallel to each other. There is a crossover on the Moving Averages. The Moving Averages direction is horizontal.

Trading recommendations

The pair is still under pressure. If the level 1.1250 is broken downwards the price will decrease to 1.1130. Alternatively we may see a growth to 1.1400



Pound

General overview

The advertising campaigns in the UK were stopped due to the Joe Cox's murder (the Member of Parliament). The demand for the dollar remained weak as the main Central Banks may conduct a joint operation to inject dollar liquidity to the market in case of Brexit.

Current situation

The pound reversed on Friday. However its recovery was stopped near the mark of 1.4400. We believe a lot of sellers are at that level and they will not let buyers to grow further. The resistance is at 1.4400, the support come in at 1.4320.

From a technical point of view, the trend is clearly bearish. The pound continued to show decreasing of highs and lows. The price is below the 200-SMA on the 4 hour chart. The 50-SMA and 100-SMA are below the price and work as support. MACD grew into the positive area that supported the current correction. If MACD returns to the negative area we will get a sell signal. RSI approached the overbought level of 70. The oscillator will show a buy signal until it stays near the overbought area.

Trading recommendations

Once the pair consolidated above the 1.4000 level we will see it growing to 1.4560. Alternatively, we expect a decrease to 1.4150. We expect a volatility growth this week before the Brexit.



Yen

General overview

The lack of new steps in the monetary policy softening by the Bank of Japan supported the demand for the yen.

Current situation

The pair remained in a downside channel. The dollar is under pressure. The new local low is at 103.96. The resistance is at 104.50, the support is at 103.50.

MACD decreased, there was a sell signal from the indicator. RSI is in the oversold area. If RSI remains in the oversold area we will get another sell signal. The pair USD/JPY is below the Moving Averages (50, 100 and 200) on the 4 hour chart. The Moving Averages are moving downwards.

Trading recommendations

The pair is still under pressure. We expect its further decline towards 103.50



NZD/USD

General overview

The pair NZD / USD found a support due to an increase in risk appetite. The pair NZD / USD was in the flat on Friday after testing the previous high at 0.7150.

Current situation

The pair was in a flat on Friday. The NZD/USD remained between 0.7030 and 0.7070. The pair is under pressure. The resistance is at 0.7050, the support is at 0.6950.

MACD is in the positive area, it is close to the centerline. The indicator decreased. If the histogram returns into the negative area it will show a sell signal. The indicator RSI is neutral. The NZD/USD is above the Moving Averages (50, 100 and 200) on the 4 hour chart. The Moving Averages are moving upwards. The 50-SMA is a support where the pair can pivot upwards.

Trading recommendations

The overall outlook remained bullish. However the pair NZD/USD is overbought. If it consolidates below 0.7050 the decrease will be continued to 0.6950-0.6900.



GOLD

General overview

On Friday, the gold prices fell as traders took profits after the jump of the pair to 23-month high on Thursday.

Current situation

The overall outlook remained bullish despite the resent correction down. The other day the gold futures fell from a new year high at the mark of 1315. We consider this increase corrective. The pair grew and was able to return some recent losses. The resistance is at 1300, the support is at 1280.

MACD is in a positive area, the histogram turned upwards. RSI returned to the overbought level of 70. If the price enters the overbought area again we will see a return to the growth. The price is above Moving Averages (50, 100 and 200). The Moving Averages direction is upwards.

Trading recommendations

If we see further attempts to break the support 1280 the chances for a correction will grow. Meanwhile the pair may recover to 1315



Brent

General overviewT

he US dollar weakened after the recent macroeconomic reports from the USA. A weak dollar supported the oil market, as it made the oil cheaper for owners of foreign currencies.

Current situation

The oil quotations kept growing. The Brent was able to recover by 0.26%. The oil price broke the levels 4700 and 4750. The Brent touched the level of 48.00 by the end of trades. The resistance is at 48.50, the support is at 48.00.

MACD is in the negative area. However the histogram was growing that confirmed the current growth. RSI approached the overbought level of 70. If RSI gets into the overbought area we will get a buy signal The Brent broke the 200-SMA and approached the 50-SMA and 100-SMA. If the oil consolidates above the 50-SMA and 100-SMA the buyers will become stronger.

Trading recommendations
The break below 48.50 might force the pair to resume its downward trajectory and drift to 46.50. An uptrend will start as soon, as the pair rises above resistance level 49.50.



DAX30

Euro

General overview

No important news were published on Monday and only Neel Kashkari's speech (the Fed representative) was the focus of our attention.

Current situation

The Monday trades started with a growth. The pair grew to the upper boundary of the descending channel. The indicators recommend short positions. The resistance is at 1.1370, the support come in at 1.1300.

MACD is in the positive area. The indicator grew that indicated the current growth. If MACD returns to a decrease there will be a sell signal. RSI is close to the overbought area. The growth into overbought area will give us a buy signal. The decrease of the signal line will give us a sell signal. The Moving Averages (50, 100 and 200) are parallel to each other. The Moving Averages direction is horizontal.

Trading recommendations

The pair is still under pressure. The bulls’ attempt to change the market failed. If the level 1.1250 is broken downwards the price will decrease to 1.1130. Alternatively we may see a growth to 1.1450 – 1.1500.



Pound

General overview

On Monday, the pound strengthened against other major currencies when fears that the UK may leave the European Union weakened. The latest poll results revealed that the number of Britons who prefer to stay in the EU is more than the number of those who want to leave it.

Current situation

The pound reversed last week and continued growing this week as well. The pair set a new local high at the mark of 1.4700. According to the daily chart the resistance 1.4670 is a strong level where the price reverses several times. The resistance is at 1.4670, the support come in at 1.4560. The pound grew to the upper boundary of the descending channel. The price is above the Moving Averages (50, 100 and 200) on the 4 hour chart. The Moving Averages are turning upwards.

MACD grew into the positive area that supported the current correction. If MACD stays in the positive area the growth will be continued. RSI is in the overbought level of 70. The oscillator will show a buy signal until it stays in the overbought area.

Trading recommendations

The resistance 1.4670 limits the growth of the pair. This is a strong level which the pair could not break since February, 2016. If the pair breaks the level the growth will be continued. Otherwise we will see a return below 1.4400



Yen

General overview
The dollar rose against the yen, retreating from an almost two-year low reached last Thursday when theBank of Japan left its monetary policy unchanged. Investors hoped that the Bank would implement additional stimulus.

Current situation

The pair remained in a downside channel. The dollar is still under pressure. The pair set new local low at 104.00. The resistance is at 104.50, the support is at 103.50.

MACD grew, there was a sell signal from the indicator. RSI is close to the oversold area. If RSI gets into the oversold area we will get a sell signal. The pair USD/JPY is below the Moving Averages (50, 100 and 200) on the 4 hour chart. The Moving Averages are moving downwards.

Trading recommendations
The pair is still under pressure. We expect its further decline towards 103.50. Alternatively we shall see a growth to 106.00



USD/CAD

General overview

The inflation in Canada is lower than expected according to Friday release.

Current situation
The pair is under pressure. The USD/CAD decreased and set a new low at the mark of 1.2770. The resistance is at 1.2900, the support is at 1.2800.

MACD moved into the negative area. The signal line is above the histogram. If the histogram remains in the negative area it will show a sell signal. The indicator RSI is close to the oversold area. The USD/CAD is below the Moving Averages (50, 100 and 200) on the 4 hour chart. The Moving Averages are moving downwards.

Trading recommendations

The pair USD/CAD is oversold. If it consolidates below 1.2800 the decrease will be continued to 1.2680. If the pair manages a break above 1.2900 and stays there we would likely be buying to 1.3100



GOLD

General overview

Demand for safe assets decreased, the gold futures got under pressure. The price moved away from a 22-month high last week. The improved market sentiment also contributed to the strengthening of the dollar.

Current situation

The overall outlook remained bullish despite the resent correction. The pair spent near the level of 1280 the first day of the week. All attempts to break the level had failed. The resistance is at 1300, the support is at 1280.

MACD is in a positive area, the histogram decreased. RSI left the overbought level of 70. If the price returns to the overbought area we will get a buy signal. The price is above Moving Averages (50, 100 and 200). The Moving Averages direction is upwards.

Trading recommendations

If we see further attempts to break the support 1280 the chances for a correction will grow. Meanwhile the pair may recover to 1315



Brent

General overview

The oil quotes rose on Monday when fears that Britain would leave the European Union decreased. The weak dollar also supported the Brent quotes.

Current situation

The oil quotations kept growing. The price left the descending channel. The Brent was able to recover to 50.50. The resistance is at 50.50, the support is at 49.50.

MACD is in the positive area. The histogram grew that confirmed the current growth. RSI approached the overbought level of 70. If RSI gets into the overbought area we will get a buy signal. The Brent broke all Moving Averages (50, 100 and 200). If the oil consolidates above all Moving Averages the buyers will become stronger.

Trading recommendations

We believe the growth will be continued. The level 50.50 limits the growth of the Brent. A break above this mark risks a growth back towards the resistance at 51.50.



DAX30

General overview

The major stock indexes rose in the European session and spent Friday in the "green zone", reducing weekly drop. The index DAX30 grew amid easing concerns about a potential exit of Great Britain from the European Union (Brexit).

Trading recommendations

The yen may continue the upward movement in the short term. Its potential target is 106.50. Still the pair stopped at the pretty strong level 106.00. The pair has recently fallen from it. That’s why we do not exclude the sell scenario.

Euro

General overview

The UK decision to leave the EU led to a collapse of the world markets. As a result they fell to the record historical levels. Now the European Union is ready to negotiate with London about its exit, but until then, the UK remains a member of the Union. The EU hopes to maintain a partnership with Britain after its exit.

Current situation

The pair showed a negative dynamics right after the referendum results publication. The EUR/USD fell to the historical lows, from 1.1370 to 1.0900 and lost about 500 pp. Now the euro is under pressure and the dollar is gaining popularity. The resistance is at 1.1200, the support lies in at 1.1130.

MACD moved into the negative area. If the indicator remains there that will be a sell signal. RSI is close to the undervalued area. If RSI enters the area that will be a sell signal. In the scenario where the oscillator grows we will get a buy signal.

The Moving Averages (50, 100 and 200) are parallel to each other. However the 50-SMA broke the two others and is moving downwards. If the current situation preserves that will be a sell signal.

Trading recommendations

The trend is clearly bearish for now. We presume that the next bearish target lies at 1.0900. Still as the marker is undervalued we do not exclude a recovery back above 1.1200.



Pound

General overview

The collapse of the pound that we saw last Friday was just the beginning of the hard times for the UK economy and we shall see other after-effects soon. The 10-year British bonds yield have already decreased and have fallen to the historical lows. The credit rating of the UK (AAA) has all chances to be revised downwards in the near future.

Current situation

The pound was hurt most of all by the London decision to leave the EU. The pair fell by 10% within hours. That has been the biggest drop in the resent history. The instrument is at the lows now where it was in 80s. The resistance is at 1.3950, the support comes in at 1.3700.

The price is below the Moving Averages (50, 100 and 200) on the 4 hour chart. The Moving Averages formed a cross-over and are moving downwards that is a sell signal. The indicators are undervalued now. MACD is in the negative area and its histogram decreased that is a sell signal. If MACD decreases again the pair will move downwards. RSI fell to the oversold level of 70. The oscillator will show a sell signal until it stays close to the undervalued area.

Trading recommendations

If price breaks above 1.4320, then this could lead to renewed buying momentum, possibly towards 1.5000. However we do not believe in this scenario much. We assume the instrument will remain under pressure. In the potential scenario, the next stop for the GBP/USD could well be around 1.3300.



Yen

General overview

The Bank of Japan can start an intervention in the medium term due to the increased market volatility and uncertainty in the world economy. Now markets began preparing for the bustling times when the interest to risk will be minimal and the "safe haven" assets will be in demand.

Current situation

The USD/JPY remained under pressure; the latest events in the Europe were not able to change its main trend. As many pairs the instrument decreased and returned to the region 102.50. The pair formed a new lower low at 99.00. The resistance is at 102.50, the support exists at 101.40.

MACD moved into the negative area. If the indicator remains in the undervalued area the decrease will be continued. RSI is close to the oversold level. If the oscillator decreases or remains at the current levels that will be a sell signal. The USD/JPY is below the Moving Averages (50, 100 and 200) which are moving downwards.

Trading recommendations

There are no major events on the schedule and we will consider selling the pair to 100.00. The mark 104.50 limits the growth of the USD/JPY if price breaks above this region the growth may be continued to the resistance area 106.00.



NZD

General overview

The New Zealand dollar was pretty volatile last Friday. The reason for that was the same theme as everywhere – Brexit. The NZD was under pressure due to the risk aversion.

Current situation

The instrument fell at the Asian session on Friday. However the kiwi was able to recover and returned almost all its losses later the day. The market tone is still positive and the current rebound below 0.7150 should be considered corrective. The resistance exists at 0.7150, the support lies at 0.7050.

Even though MACD decreased it remained in the positive area. We consider that is a buy signal. The indicator RSI bounced from the oversold area and shows a buy signal. The pair is above the Moving Averages (50, 100 and 200) on the 4 hour chart. The Moving Averages direction is neutral.

Trading recommendations

The pair is overbought. The buyers’ next target is the mark 0.7250. If NZD decreases it will drop to 0.6850.



GOLD

General overview

We guess the gold was the only instrument in the market that won out from the Brexit. The investors turned to the gold as to a safe asset; the gold futures rose by 8% to the 2-year highs.

Current situation

The gold remained in the growing channel. The quotes set a new high at 1360. The resistance is at 1330, the support is at 1300.

MACD is moving upwards in the positive area. We receive the buy signal from the indicator. If the histogram remains in the positive area the growth will be continued. RSI approached the overbought area. If the signal line gets into the area the growth will be continued. The price is above the Moving Averages and their direction is upwards.

Trading recommendations

The price can grow to the resistance level of 1330 and further to 1360. We do not exclude a correction to 1270.



Brent

General overview

As expected, the decision of London to leave the European Union made the oil futures drop. The crude oil Brent decreased as investors decided not to take risks and took their funds away from risky assets.

Current situation

The oil quotations decreased and lost about 6% on Friday. However the situation seems to have stabilized and the oil futures found a support at 47.50. The Brent recovered by the end of traders and ended the week at the mark 48.50. The resistance is at 48.50, the support is at 47.50.

MACD moved into the negative area. The histogram decreased that is a sell signal. RSI is near the oversold level. If RSI declined that will be a sell signal. Shall it bounce upwards and the futures will recover. The Moving Averages (50, 100 and 200) are above the price.

Trading recommendations

Oil prices are currently under pressure due to a variety of factors. The dollar strengthened, the market is still overvalued, and there are signs of renewal in the US shale oil production. The Brent can drop further but not too far. We believe the instrument will find a bottom at 45.00. If the pair breaks the level 49.50 upwards that will be a buy signal.



NASDAQ

General overview

When the UK published the first results of the referendum the US stock indices fell by 4-5%. The exit from the alliance is a strong blow to the euro area economy as the UK was the second GDP in the region.

Current situation

The Nasdaq was negative on Friday. All its attempts to recover met a resistance at 4350. The resistance comes at 4300, the support is at 4250.

MACD is in the negative area; its histogram decreased. If the histogram remains in the negative area we will get a sell signal. RSI approached the oversold area. If the oscillator remains in the area that will be a sell signal. The 50-SMA broke the 200-day moving average downwards. The Moving Averages (50, 100 and 200) direction is downwards.

Trading recommendations

If the negative sentiment preserves the index will decrease to 4250 and further to 4200.



S&P 500

General overview

London decision to leave the EU crippled world markets. The US Futures in the US S&P 500 index fell by 3.60% on the news. The US stock market closed trading on Friday by a drop due to the negative dynamics from the part of the finance, raw materials and technologies sectors.

Current situation

The instrument got under pressure and decreased at the Asian session on Friday. S&P 500 recovered some losses during the day. However when American traders came to the market sales resumed. The resistance comes in at 2025, the support lies at 2012.

MACD moved into the negative area. The indicator decreased that is a sell signal. RSI is near the oversold level. If RSI declined that will be a sell signal. Shall it bounce upwards and the index will recover. The 50-SMA broke the 200-day moving average downwards. The Moving Averages direction is downwards.

Trading recommendations

We assume the downward movement will be continued as the bearish sentiment prevails. The marks 2012 and 2000 are the sellers’ targets.

Euro

General overview

The euro is under pressure against the dollar due to fears that the Brexit will worsen the prospects for the EU and the euro area economy.

Current situation

The pair showed a mixed dynamics yesterday. The euro made several attempts to recover, still the sellers did not let it to grow. The instrument remained at the same level, near the mark 1.1000. The resistance is at 1.1130, the support lies in at 1.1000.

MACD remained in the negative area. If the indicator remains in there that will be a sell signal. RSI is close to the undervalued area. If RSI enters the area, that will be a sell signal. In the scenario where the oscillator grows we will get a buy signal. The price is below the Moving Averages. The Moving Averages (50, 100 and 200) are moving downwards, that is a sell signal.

Trading recommendations

The EUR/USD is still under pressure. We believe it will fall further and will reach the local low at 1.0900. The pair may grow only to fall from the higher levels.



Pound

General overview

The pound got under pressure again when George Osborne (the Finance Minister) said that the results of the referendum will prolong the further volatility in the financial markets. According to George Osborne the economy of the country is ready to leave the EU and it will successfully cope with its consequences.

Current situation

The pair decreased and was able to set new historical low at 1.3118. The resistance is at 1.3300, the support comes in at 1.3100.
MACD is in the negative area and its histogram decreased that is a sell signal. If MACD remains at the same levels the pair will move downwards. RSI fell to the oversold level of 30. The oscillator will show a sell signal until it stays close to the undervalued area. The price is below the Moving Averages (50, 100 and 200) on the 4 hour chart. The Moving Averages are moving downwards, that is a sell signal.

Trading recommendations

We presume that the pair has no chances to recover soon. The Brexit will pressure the pair further. We do not exclude some pull backs that we expect to be weak and short-lived. The sellers’ next target is 1.3100 and 1.3000. The GBP/USD may grow towards 1.3700.



Yen

General overview

After the British referendum Shinzo Abe (the Japanese Prime Minister ) requested from Taro Aso (the Finance Minister) to monitor the currency market and to take action if necessary.

Current situation

The USD/JPY remained under pressure. The market seems fairly balanced; the instrument almost did not move and remained at the same place. The resistance is at 102.50, the support exists at 101.40.
MACD is in the negative area. If the indicator remains in the undervalued area the pair will decrease. RSI is close to the oversold level. If the oscillator decreases or remains at the current levels that will be a sell signal. If RSI growth, that will be a buy signal for us. The USD/JPY is below the Moving Averages (50, 100 and 200) which are moving downwards.

Trading recommendations

There are no major events on the schedule that could significantly move the pair. We expect markets to stay fairly neutral and the USD/JPY probably will remain in the same region between 101.40 and 102.50.



NZD

General overview

The markets ignored the growth of trade surplus in New Zealand in May. Meanwhile, the US dollar continued to strengthen after the referendum in Britain.

Current situation

The trend is objectively bearish and the instrument is undervalued. The NZD/USD was falling the whole Monday and reached the local low that was set last Friday. The resistance exists at 0.7050, the support lies at 0.6950.
MACD is in the negative area. If the indicator remains in the undervalued area the pair will decrease. RSI is close to the oversold level. If the oscillator decreases or remains at the current levels that will be a sell signal. If RSI growth, that will be a buy signal for us. The NZD broke 50 and 100 day moving averages and is approaching 200-day moving average. The 50-SMA and 100-SMA are turning down, the 200-SMA is still moving upwards.

Trading recommendations

The sellers’ next target is the mark 0.6950. If NZD grows it will grow to 0.7050.



GOLD

General overview

The gold again approached the two-year highs. The quotes grew after the UK unexpected decision to leave the UK. The metal is in demand as the news made investors seek for safe assets.

Current situation

The gold remained in the growing channel. As usual Monday was poor with news and there were no drivers that could move the pair. The gold futures showed a mixed dynamics still all trades were low volatile and the pair remained below 1330 dollars per ounce. The resistance is at 1330, the support is at 1300.
MACD is in the positive area. We receive the buy signal from the indicator. If the histogram remains in the positive area the growth will be continued. RSI approached the overbought area. If the signal line gets into the area the growth will be continued. In the scenario where the oscillator falls we will get a sell signal. The price is above the Moving Averages and their direction is upwards.

Trading recommendations

The price can grow to the resistance level of 1330 and further to 1360 dollars per ounce. We do not exclude a correction to 1270.



Brent

General overview

The crude oil futures marked the first day of the new week with a decline. However, some analysts believe that Brexit impact on the global fuel demand is very limited.

Current situation

The oil quotations tried to recover yesterday still buyers met the sellers’ resistance at 48.90. That mark became a pivot point and the price fell. The resistance is at 47.50, the support is at 46.50.
MACD is in the negative area. The histogram decreased that is a sell signal. RSI is near the oversold level. If RSI declined that will be a sell signal. Shall RSI bounce upwards and the Brent futures will recover. The Moving Averages (50, 100 and 200) are above the price. The Moving Averages are turning down.

Trading recommendations

In this potential scenario, the next stop for the Brent could well be around 46.50. If price breaks above 48.50 and consolidates above this level, then this could lead to renewed buying momentum, possibly towards 50.00 – 50.50 region.



DAX

General overview

The European stock indices continued to fall. The decline was caused by the uncertainty that came after the London decision to leave the EU.

Current situation

The DAX30 was bearish on Monday. However we believe that the current drop should be considered corrective. The Eurozone Bonds Market will recover from the current shock and will grow. The index reached a strong technical level 9265. DAX is fairly oversold and it may grow soon. The resistance comes at 9400, the support exists at 9250.
MACD is in the negative area; its histogram decreased. If the histogram remains in the negative area we will get a sell signal. RSI approached the oversold area. If the oscillator remains in the area, that will be a sell signal. The Moving Averages (50, 100 and 200) direction is downwards and that is a sell signal.

Trading recommendations

If the negative sentiment preserves the index will decrease to 9050.



S&P 500

General overview

The US stock indices were under pressure due to the financial sector shares decrease. The S&P decreased as the markets do not see future prospects of London as a European financial center.

Current situation

The overall outlook remained bearish. The index set a new local low at 1985. The resistance comes in at 2000, the support lies at 1985.
MACD is in the negative area. The indicator decreased that is a sell signal. RSI is near the oversold level. If RSI declined that will be a sell signal. Shall it bounce upwards and the index will recover. The 50-SMA broke the 200-day moving average downwards. The Moving Averages direction is downwards.

Trading recommendations

We assume the downward movement will be continued as the bearish sentiment prevails. The marks 1985 and 1970 are the sellers’ targets.

Euro

General overview

The euro remained under pressure as uncertainty regarding the Brexit continued to cloud the prospects of the whole EU. Yesterday Mario Draghi (the ECB President) gave his speech. There were not anything specific about the current monetary policy. However, Mario Draghi noted that the Central Banks should better coordinate the monetary policies of their countries to cope with the deflationary pressure.

Current situation

The course of the pair tried to stabilize yesterday. The instrument grew and set a new local high at 1.1111. Technically, the EUR/USD remained in a narrow downward trending channel. The resistance stands at 1.1130, the support lies in at 1.1000.

MACD remained in the negative area, its histogram grew yesterday. The indicator will give sell signals until it leaves the negative area. RSI is close to the undervalued area. If RSI enters the area, that will be a sell signal. In the scenario where the oscillator grows we will get a buy signal. The price is below the Moving Averages (50, 100 and 200) which are moving downwards, that is a sell signal. The 200-day moving average is a strong resistance for the euro.

Trading recommendations

The pair may continue its growth. If the EUR/USD consolidates over 1.1130 the growth maybe continued to 1.1200. The nearest sellers’ targets are the support levels 1.1000 and 1.0900.



Pound

General overview

Yesterday the pound rose against the US dollar for the first time after the referendum, as investors’ confidence began growing.

Current situation

The pound tried to recover yesterday. However, its growth was weak and the pair did not succeed much with it. The pound was able to grow to 1.3425. The resistance is at 1.3500, the support comes in at 1.3300.

MACD is in the negative area; its histogram grew that weakened the sell signal. If MACD decreases the pair will move downwards. RSI remained close to the oversold level. The oscillator will show a sell signal until it stays close to the area. The price is below the Moving Averages (50, 100 and 200) on the 4 hour chart. The Moving Averages are moving downwards, that is a sell signal.

Trading recommendations

The GBP/USD may still slightly recover. If it grows the pair will aim to close the gap at 1.3700. A downtrend will start as soon as the pair drops below the support level 1.3300, which will be followed by moving down to the support levels 1.3100 and 1.3000.



Yen

General overview

Even though the USD/JPY remained under pressure it recovered yesterday. The demand for the safe assets decreased that let to the USD/JPY growth.

Current situation

The USD/JPY remained under pressure. However the pair formed a consolidation yesterday. The USD recovered and reached the mark 102.80. The resistance is at 103.50, the support stands at 102.50.

The indicators moved away from extremum. MACD remained in the negative area, still its histogram grew, that weakened the sell signal. If the indicator remains in the undervalued area the pair will decrease further. RSI is in the neutral area. If the oscillator decreases that will be a sell signal. If RSI growth, that will be a buy signal for us. The USD/JPY is below the Moving Averages (50, 100 and 200) which are moving downwards. The 50-day moving is the closest resistance for the instrument.

Trading recommendations

If the USD/JPY does not get new drivers it will remain between 103.50- 101.40.

MACD is in the negative area, its histogram dropped. If the indicator decreases again the pair will fall further. RSI is close to the oversold level. If the oscillator moves south that will be a sell signal. The 50- moving average was the resistance that did not let the pair to grow. The pair bounced below 50, 100 and 200 moving averages which are moving downwards.

Trading recommendations

We remain bearish on the outlook for the currency. The nearest target remained the support level 0.7270. In the scenario where the buyers take control over the market the instrument will grow to 0.7400 – 0.7500.

RSI remained close to the overbought area. If the signal line gets into the area the growth will be continued. In the scenario where the oscillator falls we will get a sell signal. The price is above the Moving Averages and their direction is upwards.

Euro

General overview

In economic news, a preliminary Consumer Price Index in the Euro zone unexpectedly rose in June. The release decreased investors' concerns about the threat of deflation in the region. The growth of the prices was positive news for the European Central Bank (ECB) which plans to reach the target inflation rate of 2%. Mark Carney’s speech supported the dollar yesterday.

Current situation

Technically, the main trend is down, the pair remained in a descending channel. All attempts to break through 1.1130 failed. The level 1.1130 and the 50-day moving average limited a growth of the instrument. The Moving Averages (50, 100 and 200) are moving downwards, that is a sell signal for now. The resistance stands at 1.1130, the support lies in at 1.1000.

MACD remained in the negative area, its histogram decreased, that is a sell signal. RSI is in the neutral area; the indicator turned down to the oversold area.

Trading recommendations

The potential decrease targets are two levels of support: 1.0900, 1.0830.



Pound

General overview

Yesterday, the pound grew against the US dollar after the block of the UK positive economic data. The markets continued their recovery after the UK decision to leave the European Union. Mark Carney (Governor of the Bank of England) gave his speech yesterday. His promises to reduce the rate this summer weakened the pound.

Current situation

The pound slowed down its recovery and stopped at the mark of 1.3500. The instrument fell at the American session, the pair lost about 1.47%. The pair is still within a short-term upward channel. The resistance is at 1.3300, the support comes in at 1.3100.

MACD remained in the negative area, its histogram decreased. The indicator will give buy signals if the histogram grows. Conversely, if MACD decreases that will be a sell signal. RSI approached the oversold area, that is a sell signal. The GBP/USD is below the Moving Averages (50, 100 and 200) on the 4 hour chart. The Moving Averages are moving downwards, that is a sell signal.

Trading recommendations

The next buyers’ stop could well be at 1.3700. However, we do not see any strong drivers in the foreseeable future. We support the idea of selling the pound further to the support 1.3100.



Yen

General overview

The industrial production fell in Japan in May. According to the Ministry of Economy, slow down of the world economy and problems with the automobile sector severely affected the industrial production, which fell by 2.3% compared with the previous month. Economists had expected the index to remain unchanged.

Current situation

The instrument showed side trades during the day and was able to grow only at the American session. The pair grew by 0.32%. The resistance stands at 103.50, the support is at 102.50.

The growth of MACD slowed down. The indicator remained in the negative area. If the indicator keeps heading north the growth of the pair will be continued. RSI is in the neutral area, the oscillator does not give signals. The USD/JPY is below the Moving Averages (50, 100 and 200) which are moving downwards. The pair tested the 50-day moving yesterday. The 50-day moving is the closest resistance for the instrument. The pair is oversold on the daily chart and is recovering.

Trading recommendations

If the USD/JPY continues growing its next stop could well be at 103.00 – 103.50 region. A break below 102.00 would open the way to 101.40.



Franc

General overview

We do not expect a sharp correction of the franc after the warnings of the Switzerland Bank regarding its possible intervention in case of a sharp growth of the franc after the Brexit. In economic news, Swiss National Bank expects to achieve a positive inflation in 2018.

Current situation

The market looks bearish. The instrument began Thursday with a drop. The pair was able to break the mark 0.9750 and set a new local low at 0.9724. However, the American traders returned the dollar above 0.9750. The resistance exists at 0.9800, the support lies at 0.9750.

MACD remained in the positive area, its histogram decreased. The indicator will give sell signals while its histogram decreases. RSI is in the neutral area; its fall from the overbought area is a sell signal. The moving averages formed a cross-over. They are moving horizontally.

Trading recommendations

We suppose the pair will go to the support level of 0.9750. We do not exclude the growth to 0.9850.



NZD

Despite the fact that the dollar is largely won from the risk aversion that happened due to the Brexit the weakened expectations that the Fed would hike the interest rates this year limited its growth.

Current situation

The kiwi slowed down its recovery and stopped at the mark of 0.7140. The instrument fell at the Asian session, and then recovered during the day. The resistance 0.7150 limits its further progress. The pair is within a short-term upward channel. The resistance is at 0.7150, the support comes in at 0.7050.

MACD moved into the positive area. The indicator shows a divergence. MACD will give buy signals if the histogram grows. Conversely, if MACD decreases that will be a sell signal.

The Moving Averages are moving upwards, that is a buy signal.

The gold remained in a consolidation phase. The pair was moving in a range 1312 – 1325. The resistance is at 1330, the support comes in at 1300.

MACD is in the positive area, its histogram continued decreasing. If the histogram grows the price will follow it. If the MACD returns to a decrease, the drop of the pair will be continued.

The price is close to the 2 year high on the daily chart. The price is above the Moving Averages and their direction is upwards.

Trading recommendations

After the support level of 1300 breakthrough down the way to the support 1270 will be opened.



Brent

General overview

The oil prices have shown the biggest growth since 2009 in the second quarter of 2016. The factors that supported the Brent were: a drop in the US production, forest fires in Canada and fighting in Nigeria and Libya. All these factors significantly reduced the surplus of the world market.

The indicators recommend long positions. MACD is in the negative area; its histogram grew, that is a buy signal. RSI bounced from the oversold area and grew upwards. If the oscillator grows further, that will be another buy signal. The Moving Averages (100 and 200) direction is downwards, the 50-day moving is horizontal. The price DAX broke the 50-EMA but did not grow further.

Trading recommendations

We suppose the pair will go to 10000 first. Having overcome the first target the price might go upwards to 10175.



S&P 500

Euro

General overview

The international rating agency S&P decided to decrease the EU rating to AA level due to the Brexit. The published Business PMI in the Eurozone came in better than traders expected; as a result the euro was able to strengthen against the dollar. On Monday, the US markets will be closed amid a national holiday – Independence Day.

Current situation

The EUR/USD showed a mixed dynamic last Friday. Even though the pair grew its growing impulse faded away by the end of the trades. The euro was able to break the mark 1.1130. However it did not have strength to move higher. The new local high is at 1.1167. The level 1.1160 and the 100-day moving average limited growth of the pair. The Moving Averages (50, 100 and 200) are moving downwards, that is a sell signal for now. The resistance stands at 1.1200, the support lies in at 1.1130.

MACD remained in the negative area, its histogram decreased, that is a sell signal. RSI is in the neutral area; the indicator does not give a clear signal.

Trading recommendations

A move above the resistance 1.1130 will open the way towards 1.1200. If the instrument moved down there will be a high chance to reach 1.1000.



Pound

General overview

According to Mark Carney (the Governor of the Bank of England) the regulator may lower the rate this summer. After that news the pound weakened and lost about 150 pips. The next meeting of the Central Bank is in two weeks. Most likely the regulator will pave the way for the additional incentives at the July meeting and will implement them in August.

Current situation

The pound returned to the sales. The level 1.3300 held buyers’ attempts to grow. The resistance is at 1.3300, the support comes in at 1.3100.

MACD remained in the negative area, its histogram remained at the same level. RSI approached the oversold area, that is a sell signal. The GBP/USD is below the Moving Averages (50, 100 and 200) on the 4 hour chart. The Moving Averages are moving downwards, that is a sell signal.

Trading recommendations

The next buyers’ stop could well be at 1.3700. A break below 1.3300 risks a decline back towards the support at 1.3100.



Yen

General overview

According to Japanese government the consumer prices continued to fall that caused a weakening of household spending in May. This creates additional pressure on the Bank of Japan which is dissatisfied with the current strengthening of the Japanese yen.

Current situation

The instrument decreased from a local high. The pair tended to return below 102.50. The resistance stands at 103.50, the support is at 102.50.

The growth of MACD slowed down. The indicator remained in the negative area, that is a sell signal. RSI is in the neutral area, the oscillator does not give signals. The USD/JPY is below the Moving Averages (50, 100 and 200) which are moving downwards. The pair tested the 50-day moving and bounced downwards. The 50-day moving is the closest resistance for the pair.

Trading recommendations

AUD

The Australian dollar rose by 0,63% during the Friday trades. The US dollar was stable against major currencies, while the uncertainty after a referendum in the United Kingdom persisted.

Current situation

The aussie was actively growing and was able to reach the mark of 0.7500. The price just tested the resistance and was not able to break it through. The resistance is at 0.7500, the support comes in at 0.7400.

MACD moved into the positive area. The indicator shows a divergence. RSI approached the overbought area. If the signal line moves higher that will be a buy signal, if it decreases that will be a sell signal for us. The instrument is above the Moving Averages (50, 100 and 200) on the 4 hour chart. The Moving Averages are moving upwards, that is a buy signal. The price moved away from the averages and may return to them soon.

Trading recommendations

The approach to the level of 0.7500 may lead to a price rebound down. The potential rebound targets are the support levels of 0.7400, 0.7270.



GOLD

General overview

The price grew on the weakening of the US currency. A cheap dollar traditionally has a positive effect on the price of gold as it makes it cheaper for holders of foreign currencies. In addition, the UK decision to leave the EU had a strong influence on the price of gold.

Current situation

The gold slightly grew last Friday amid the weakening of the dollar. The instrument was able to set a new local high at 1341. The resistance is at 1360 now, the support comes in at 1330.

MACD is in the positive area, its histogram grew, that is a buy signal. RSI remained close to the overbought area. If the signal line gets into the area the growth will be continued. In the scenario where the oscillator falls we will get a sell signal. The price is above the Moving Averages and their direction is upwards.

Trading recommendations

The potential decrease targets are two levels of support: 1330 and 1300.



Brent

General overview

The forecasts that the major Central Banks may soften their monetary policies supported the oil futures. Besides, the sales that were connected with the end of the quarter are ended and a bullish sentiment returned to the markets.

The oil quotations returned to a recovery. The Brent futures were able to grow by 0.76%. Now the price approached a strong psychological mark at 50.50. The Brent formed a trading range on the 4 hour chart: 46.70 – 50.65. The resistance is at 50.50, the support is at 49.50.

MACD is in the positive area, its histogram grew, that is a buy signal. RSI bounced from the overbought area. Shall RSI move upwards the Brent futures will grow, otherwise the price will decrease. The crude oil futures bounced from the 50- day moving average and grew on the 4 hour chart. The price broke through the other two movings: 100-day moving and 200-day moving averages.

Trading recommendations

We believe the instrument will remain in the current trading range 46.50 – 50.50 without new fundamental drivers. If the Brent keeps growing the price will reach 51.50.



NASDAQ

General overview

The US stock market grew on technical factors in the first half of Friday trading. The buyers received some support at the European session. The European Central Bank is considering changes in its program of bonds purchases. At the same time the head of the Bank of England hints about further monetary easing in order to overcome the economic consequences of the Brexit.

Current situation

The index spent Friday in a green zone. NASDAQ showed a growth and reached the next resistance within the hours. The resistance comes at 4440, the support exists at 4400.

The indicators still recommend long positions. MACD is in the positive area; its histogram grew, that is a buy signal. RSI grew upwards to the overbought area. If the oscillator grows further, that will be another buy signal; if its signal line decreases that will be a buy signal. The price bounced from the 100-day moving average and was able to break the 200-day moving. After the break the price remained on the 200-day moving which is horizontal. The Moving Averages (50 and 100) direction is downwards.

Trading recommendations

We believe the growth will be continued now. After the resistance level of 4440 breakthrough upwards the way to the resistance 4500 will be opened. We do not exclude the falls to 4350.



S&P 500

General overview

The stock indices finished the week with a growth by an average of 3%. The stock market received some support from Mark Carney’s statements (the Bank of England Governor). According to Mark Carney the regulator may soften its monetary policy this summer.

The price may decrease soon towards the moving averages.

Trading recommendations

The level of 2100 limits the growth of the index. A cut through here will aim at the 2120 level. Alternatively, the SP500 will decrease to 2070.

Pound

General overview

Construction sector activity in the UK unexpectedly fell in June to a seven-year low. That news added additional concerns that the British economy slows down after the Brexit referendum.

Current situation

The pair traded at the previous week close levels. The price spent the day in a narrow flat within 1.3330 – 1.3230. The resistance is at 1.3300, the support comes in at 1.3100.

Indicators remained in a red zone. MACD is in the negative area, the histogram is at the same level it closed last week. RSI is close to the oversold area.

All indicators support the bearish trend.

Trading recommendations

Buyers seem not to have enough powder to launch the pair upwards. We expect markets to stay fairly neutral until Mark Carney gives his speech. We will be keeping a close eye on the resistance 1.3500. If the pair fixates over it the instrument may grow to 1.3700 to close the gap. Should the level 1.3200 break down and the pair may drop further to 1.2900.



Yen

General overview

The dollar slightly changed against other currencies in a quiet Monday while the markets are again cautious and this time it is all about the Fed decision to hike the rate or not. The USD/JPY continued to ignore the growth of "risk appetite" that indicated sellers’ presence in the market.

To trigger further downward movement the pair needs to fall below 1.1050. Alternatively, the EUR/USD will recover to 1.1130. We believe that the euro will remain under pressure until the UK leaves the EU.



Pound

General overview

The pound continued to fall against the US currency, despite BoE Governor (Mark Carney) clear plan on: how to support the British economy. The political vacuum in the United Kingdom is blocking any further actions to support the economy. Meanwhile, the outflow of the capital in the country is also gaining power.

Yen

General overview

The dollar fell against the yen, as British pound sales had an upward pressure on the Japanese currency. The yen also received support when traders began closing their long positions in the emerging markets.

MACD and RSI decreased, which is a sell signal. Any further decrease will indicate sellers growing strength. The moving averages formed a cross-over in the 4 hours chart. The 50-EMA is a support for the pair. The moving averages direction is horizontal.

Trading recommendations

We believe that the price is likely to go to the support level of 1.2900.

The gold futures continued its growth and set a new high at 1374. This is the highest mark since 2014. After reaching 1374 the pair started a consolidation and decreased to 1360. The resistance is at 1390, the support comes in at 1360.

Technically, indicators remained in a green zone. MACD and RSI grew which is a buy signal. RSI is in the overbought zone. The indicator will give a buy signal till it stays in the current zone.

The moving averages (50, 100 and 200) are moving upwards in the 4 hours chart. The price resides above them. In the 1 hours chart the price is decreasing to the 50-EMA.

Trading recommendations

The fundamental factors support buyers. We presume that any correction will be short-lived. In the potential scenario, the next stop for the XAUUSD could well be around 1390. A break below 1350 will be followed by moving down to the support level 1330.

Euro

General overview

The euro decreased against the dollar after the weak Industrial PMI in Germany. The index showed a decrease by 1.3%.

Current situation

The pair remained under pressure. The EUR/USD is in a descending channel. Its low limit resides at the mark 1.1035, its upper limit is at 1.1111. Even though the instrument grew to the local high at 1.1111 on Wednesday the euro failed to reach the key resistance at 1.1130. The immediate support is seen at 1.1050, the resistance stands at 1.1130.

The pair traded below the 200-EMA which is currently seen as a resistance in the 1 hours chart. The 50, 100 and 200 EMAs direction is downwards in the 4 hours chart, it indicates a downtrend. The RSI decreased and is below the 50 level. MACD is in neutral area, close to the centerline. The indicators are still bearish.

Trading recommendations

The EUR/USD is under pressure. A break below 1.1050 would open the door to 1.1000. Otherwise the price will grow to 1.1130.



Pound

General overview

On Thursday the pound made an attempt to grow from the record lows after a positive Industrial PMI publication. However, investors remained cautious regarding the future of the UK economy that still pressures the pound.

Current situation

The British currency remained inside a short bearish channel. The GBP/USD returned some of its losses during the European session on Thursday. However, the recovery was short-lived and it dropped back to the nearest support 1.2900. The pair is still below the mark 1.30. Investor sentiment towards the pound is still negative. The resistance is at 1.3100, the support comes in at 1.2900.

The EMA50, EMA100 and EMA200 kept decreasing in the 1 hours chart, which is a sell signal. The EMA50 acts as a resistance for the price. MACD is below its centerline, its histogram decreased. RSI remained close to the oversold area. If the oscillator enters the oversold area, it will be a sell signal. The indicators recommend short positions.

Trading recommendations

The pound remains weak as political uncertainty in the UK is still high. The next target for this pair is the support level of 1.270



Yen

General overview

The yen slightly strengthened after the Japanese regulator’s statements. The BoJ will preserve the quantitative and qualitative easing programs together with the negative rates till they reach the targeted inflation of 2%.

Current situation

The instrument seems not to have enough power to break the strong level 100.00 as bulls defend this psychological mark. The technical outlook is negative for the pair. The resistance stands at 101.40, the support is seen at 100.00.

The price is below the 50, 100 and 200 EMAs in the 4 hours chart. The moving averages are moving downwards. The USD/JPY traded below the 50-EMA in the 1 hours chart which acts as a resistance for the instrument.
