EURUSD HOURLY

Market Update 12/15 – USD Finally Turns

ByJamie Saettele

Is the nightmare correction over for EURUSD? The ‘look’ is definitely there. For Elliott nerds, everything from the 11/30 high constitutes a complex correction labeled W-X-Y. This means that the drop is in 3 waves but the corrective legs of the structure are also corrective in nature. Upside focus is the 161.8% retrace at 1.1540, which is also the 10/29 low. Proposed support is the high volume level from today at 1.1273 and 61.8% of today’s range at 1.1252. ECB is tomorrow.

DXY WEEKLY

Market Update 12/14 – BIG Levels into Central Bank Meetings

ByJamie Saettele

The USD remains stubbornly up to flat. The psychological situation reminds me of early in the year when the USD was stubbornly lower for longer despite multiple reversal signals. Of course, price eventually resolved higher and now I want to go the other way! The underside of the former trendline support was reached 3 weeks ago and nothing has happened since. The situation should resolve in the next few days with Fed, ECB, BoE, and BoJ scheduled. We’re at resistance therefore I’m ‘thinking’ lower. The chart of daily closes below is a thing of beauty with respect to confluence resistance.

NZDUSD DAILY

Market Update 12/9 – Tracking AUDUSD and NZDUSD Closely

ByJamie Saettele

NZDUSD has lagged AUDUSD on this bounce, which is interesting because AUDUSD reached it’s key level (.6990) but the key level for NZDUSD is slightly lower at .6700. Recall that this is the 38.2% retrace of the rally from March 2020 and the line off of lows since March. The November 2020 low has been reached at .6756 but I love the confluence at .6700. Watch for a possible non-confirmation with AUDUSD and NZDUSD. This would occur if NZDUSD drops to a new low but AUDUSD makes a higher low. This non-confirmation tends to occur at turns. .6860 remains an important overhead barrier.

BTCUSD DAILY

Market Update 12/5 – Crypto Ideas after a Wild Weekend

ByJamie Saettele

That 11/10 reversal nailed the high. From high to low, BTCUSD dropped 39%. The low over the weekend was at the center line from the channel that originates at the 2015 low. 53000 has been a key level since September and I’m watching for resistance at that level. With the low at the center line however, watch for support at 45000-46000. An aggressive bearish target on a break of the center line is 23000. The longer term picture is below.

AUDJPY DAILY

Market Update 12/1 – Nasdaq Levels and AUDJPY Setup

ByJamie Saettele

AUDJPY is the ultimate risk barometer. As usual, it’s WAY ahead of the equity market (the equity market is always the last to know). Price has reached the median line of the fork that originates at the May high. This is a good spot for a bounce and 82.40 is well-defined for resistance. This is the 25 line, which was support on 11/10. Ultimately, a downside objective is near 74 (see below).

DXY 4 HOUR

Market Update 11/30 – More USD Topping Evidence

ByJamie Saettele

The DXY high is right on the trendline that was pointed out last week (see chart below for the full picture)…we may have just seen a major top. Trading wise, I’m looking towards 93.30/50 with 95.20s as a possible bounce level. The lower zone is channel support. That will be the big test. If DXY is a bear then 96.20s should provide resistance.
