Forecast for AUD / USD pair on September 19, 2019
AUD / USD pair
The Australian dollar successfully broke the support area, consisting of two lines - balance and MACD of price channels and indicator lines. Moreover, the breakthrough occurred today on quite good employment data. The growth of new jobs amounted to 34.7 thousand against the expectation of 10.0 thousand and the share of the economically active population increased from 66.1% to 66.2%. Against this background, the level rose slightly to 5.3% from 5.2%, which is a fairly strong sign of the market's intention to sell the AUD/USD pair at an accelerated pace.
The Immediate target of 0.6678 at the support line for the red price channel coincides with the low of August 7 that can be reached in three days. Then, the blue channel comes into play with support in the region of 0.6605. On the four-hour chart, the price is in free fall and there are no signs of a stop in the correction.

Dramatic roles of the pound: a candidate for decline and a source of tension for the market
The UK currency is constantly under the scrutiny of market participants. The reason for this, analysts believe that it is the tense situation around Brexit, creating a danger for the pound itself as well as other currencies.
Many world currencies are involved in the orbit of the British pound. The currency of Great Britain in one way or another affects the means of payment of other countries, and currently this effect is negative. The pound's dynamics were significantly affected by weak macroeconomic statistics from the UK on inflation.
According to the report, the base consumer price index fell to 1.5% in August, which is the lowest level since November 2016. According to analysts, the current situation indicates the need to reduce interest rates in the UK. Weak macroeconomic statistics indicate that in the coming months the regulator may reduce interest rates. This is negative news for the British pound, analysts emphasize. It can noticeably lose in price.
Currently, the GBP/USD currency pair is trading in the consolidation range near the levels of 1.2453–1.2445. According to preliminary forecasts, in the event of a decrease in the current level, a further drop is possible to the level of 1.2400. With the implementation of a more optimistic scenario and the breakdown of the upper region of 1.2490, growth is likely to reach 1.2555. After that, the potential to decline to the 1.2400 level is growing, analysts summarize.
An alarming situation in European markets is provoked by uncertainty about Brexit. Currently, the European Parliament has approved, by a majority vote, a deferral for the UK if it so requests. However, this event has already been taken into account by the market, and the pound will not receive strong support from this news. In this situation, investors and traders will invest in more reliable assets, analysts are certain.

Forecast for EUR/USD on September 25, 2019
EUR/USD
Yesterday was very unfortunate for two heads of state - Boris Johnson and Donald Trump; the Supreme Court of Great Britain declared the sending of Parliament on forced leave as unlawful and today it will return to work, and the House of Representatives of the US Congress began the impeachment procedure of Donald Trump for "betrayal of his oath of office, betrayal of our national security and betrayal of the integrity of our elections." The reason was allegedly his demand for the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky to launch an anti-corruption investigation against John Biden's son Hunter, the head of the gas company in Ukraine Burisma Group.
At the same time, the Ifo index of business sentiment in Germany rose from 94.3 to 94.6 in September, while the US consumer confidence index from the Conference Board dropped from 134.2 to 125.1 in the same month. The euro has grown by 26 points.
We do not believe that Trump is facing real impeachment, he just once again makes it clear that there is nothing for that "upstart" in the second presidential term. Earlier (at the end of April), we wrote that the Democratic Party successfully promoted its people to leading posts in many countries, now they need to restore "order" in the country.

From a technical point of view, the situation returned to normal over the day. On the daily chart, the signal line of the Marlin Oscillator is moving down from the boundary with the growth territory.
On a four-hour chart, the price turned around, not reaching the resistance of the indicator lines, Marlin returned to the decline zone. The main scenario with a decrease in the euro remains, the target of 1.0926 is a low of September 12 and 3.

Forecast for EUR/USD on September 27, 2019
EUR/USD
On Thursday, amid a calm political background, the euro pushed through the signal support of 1.0926 and is now ready to work out the target range of 1.0805/45. The final estimate of US GDP for the 2nd quarter remained unchanged at 2.0%, which supported moderate optimism in the market. Today, orders for durable goods for August are expected to decrease by -1.1%, but personal income is projected to grow by 0.4%, as well as expenditures by 0.3%. Taking into account yesterday's data on incomplete sales in the secondary market at 1.6% against the forecast of 1.0%, as well as rising indicators for real estate prices and growth in consumer confidence released this week, data on expenses and income may even exceed expectations. which can become the main news of the day.
Technically, on the daily chart, the situation is completely falling - chart indicators and the oscillator in a downward position.
On the four-hour chart, there is also a downward trend; price below the lines of balance and MACD, the signal line of the Marlin oscillator forms a kind of triangle, which may be a sign of a continuation of the downward trend.

Forecast for EUR/USD on September 30, 2019
EUR/USD
On Friday, after the euro's attempt to overcome support at 1.0926, the price chose to return a little higher in order to try to do it with fresh energy in the new week. This morning a little strength was given by economic data on the Asia-Pacific; retail sales for August show growth of 2.0% y/y against the forecast of 0.7% y/y, business activity in the manufacturing sector of China (Manufacturing PMI) for September increased from 49.5 to 49.8. In the afternoon, employment indicators in the euro area will come out, forecasts are neutral, so investors are interested in how much the data deviate from expectations.
https://forex-images.ifxdb.com/userf...18f93e4173.png
On a four-hour chart, the price is near the signal level of 1.0926, consolidating below it will launch the main decline scenario. We are waiting for the price in the target range of 1.0806/44, formed by the line of the price channel and the Fibonacci level of 161.8%. Strong economic indicators in the euro area and weak in the US (if the Chicago PMI is weaker than the forecast of 50.0) may pull up the euro to the MACD line, to around 1.1000.

EUR/USD
The euro fell by 38 points on Monday. The readings of technical indicators have become even more bearish. On the daily chart, the Marlin oscillator penetrates deeper into the negative trend zone. The target range is the gap from the price channel line to the Fibonacci level of 161.8% - 1.0806/44. Consolidating the price below it opens the second target at 1.0710 - the low of January 2016.

On a four-hour chart, the signal line simultaneously develops in two conflicting patterns; a convergence reversal formation is formed, but within the framework of a simple rectangle. In this case, both signals lose power. In the evening, ISM Manufacturing PMI will be released in the September assessment - the forecast is 50.4 versus 49.1 in August, and an increase can also be shown for construction costs in August - the forecast is 0.5% against 0.1% earlier. We look forward to further weakening of the eur

Technical analysis of ETH/USD for 02/10/2019
Crypto Industry News:
Testnet network Ethereum under the name Istanbul (which operates under the Ropsten testnet) was launched on September 30. Considering the existing problems related to the dates of the planned hard forks, this can be considered a great success. The whole was able to run even two days before the earlier announced date, which fell on October 2.
Unfortunately, after the activation of Ropsten an unplanned fork occurred. So now two chains are working.
The issue of the community centered around the Vitalik Buterin platform was explained by the community manager at the Ethereum Hudson Jameson Foundation. In his tweet from yesterday, he described what happened. Today, some miners are still mining the old version of Ropsten. Another copy of its new, updated version. The programmer, however, calms down. The problem is to be solved. Information should not worry investors: they are testnets, so that such errors come out during their duration.
Jameson also explains what exactly happened. The genesis of the problem is the nature of blockchains based on the proof-of-work algorithm, including Ethereum. The miners in them must independently update the software to be able to dig as part of a new chain. This time some of them did not and the result was an unplanned division.
Technical Market Overview:
The ETH/USD pair has made a new local high at the level of $185.05, but so far couldn't make it to the 50% of Fibonacci retracement located at the level of $187.37. The supply zone located between the levels of $172.82 - $176.66 has been clearly broken, the momentum is now increasing significantly, so there is a chance for the bulls to hit the level of 50% of even the 61% shortly if the trendline dynamic support around the level of $172.82 will provide the bounce. In the case of a trendline violation, the nearest technical support is located at the level of $163.98.
Weekly Pivot Points:
WR3 - $256.80
WR2 - $233.68
WR1 - $197.61
Weekly Pivot - $174.45
WS1 - $137.03
WS2 - $112.52
WS3 - $77.73
Trading Recommendations:
The best strategy in the current market conditions is to trade with the larger timeframe trend, which is still up. All the shorter timeframe moves are still being treated as a counter-trend correction inside of the uptrend. When the wave 2 corrective cycles are completed, the market might will ready for another impulsive wave up of a higher degree and uptrend continuation

Trading Idea for NZD/CAD
As you know, cross-rates are an excellent tool for hedging positions in "majors", such as the most popular of them - the EUR/USD pair.
I recommend for each position in major - to have a position in the "right" cross, and you will appreciate this tactic of distributing profits between instruments.
Let's pay attention to the very oversold NZD/CAD cross-instrument, which has passed 10,000 p for 5 figures almost without a pullback since March 2019. However, several people know that this cross has an average rollback passage of exactly 10 points. And right now, after updating the minimum of 2015, it makes sense to buy it with a potential of at least 3,000 p at 5 figures.
It is easier to do this by collecting a grid of orders in longs on pullback movements. In fact, you will work out a false breakdown on an annual scale, or rather - for 4 years. This does not happen every day. Therefore, it is necessary to take advantage of this unique opportunity.

Elliott wave analysis of GBP/JPY for October 4 - 2019
GBP/JPY is now hovering just above the ideal corrective target at 130.78. We continue to look for a final dip closer to this target as long as minor resistance at 132.55 and more importantly as long as resistance at 133.36 is able to cap the upside. However, a break above resistance at 133.36 will indicate that red wave ii has completed and red wave iii towards 139.15 is developing.
R3: 133.36
R2: 132.85
R1: 132.55
Pivot: 132.00
S1: 131.47
S2: 131.25
S3: 130.78
Trading recommendation:
We will buy GBP at 131.25 or upon a break above 132.55

Control zones GBP/USD 10/07/19
The pair is trading between two significant zones. The resistance was Weekly Control Zone 1/2 1.2388-1.2372, and the weekly CZ 1.2246-1.2213 became the support. To continue medium-term growth, closing of trading above the level of 1.2388 on Monday will be required. This will pave the way for the September maximum. This model has a 50% chance of working out.
The continuation of the medium-term growth may become the main model for the coming week, as many pairs associated with the dollar formed a reversal pattern in the direction of strengthening.
An alternative model will be developed if the Weekly Control Zone 1/2 test leads to an increase in supply and a halt to growth. This will indicate the formation of a local accumulation zone, where the main goals will be the extremes of last week.
Daily CZ - daily control zone. The zone formed by important data from the futures market that changes several times a year.
Weekly CZ - weekly control zone. The zone formed by the important marks of the futures market, which change several times a year.
Monthly CZ - monthly control zone. The zonethat reflects the average volatility over the past year.

In this case, the first goal is 8666.36. Meanwhile, price consolidation is in the range of 8666.36 - 8811.75, as well as a possible rollback to correction. The potential value for the top, where it makes sense to close the position - 9026.00. The range 8039.21 - 7893.53 is a key support for the ascending structure. Its passage at the price will lead to the cancellation of this structure. In this case, the first goal is 7698.41. However, to trade in a downward direction, it makes sense when the local initial conditions for a downward cycle are formed.
The main trend is the initial conditions for the top of October 7.

GBP/USD continues to grow, despite weak data from the UK
The continued sale of the dollar helped maintain the positive dynamics of the pound, but otherwise the prospects for the British currency are not very good. The UK economy fell by 0.1% in August against the expected stable value. Indicators of manufacturing and industrial production also fell short of forecasts. While the GBP/USD pair maintains its upward trend, although it has slightly deviated from recent highs in response to weak economic data. Demonstrating the miracles of resilience in the 1.2200 mark for the third consecutive session, the pair was able to restore positive movement, however, only amid continued active sales of the dollar.
In principle, weaker than expected macroeconomic data in the UK could not have a significant impact. Nevertheless, the positive impulse did not receive a new charge, while the pair confidently holds the blow and tries to gain a foothold at a new height, despite the fact that the UK monthly GDP report showed that the economy unexpectedly declined by 0.1% in August. In addition to this, UK manufacturing and manufacturing declined more than expected in August, although this drop was partially offset by a lower-than-expected trade deficit. Now it will be interesting to see if the pair can benefit from the positive movement or fail again at higher levels amid continuing uncertainty surrounding Britain's exit from the European Union.

EUR/USD and GBP/USD. Preview of the new week. The EU summit, Brexit, inflation in the European Union
It is safe to say that we can call the new week, the"Week of Great Britain." Most of the macroeconomic reports planned for the week will concern the GBP/USD pair. Most of the reports regarding the GBP/USD pair will come from the UK. In addition to economic data, it will be decided whether a new Brexit date will be postponed, whether Boris Johnson and the European government will be able to agree on a "deal" and whether the British Parliament will block a new deal if, by some miracle, Brussels and London succeed to reach consensus on all contentious issues in five days? Thus, the EUR/USD pair may feel relatively calm, just as it did the previous week, but the British pound is likely to break volatility records and very often change its direction if the news comes mixed. But consider all the data in more detail.
As for the EUR/USD pair, here from macroeconomic events we can note the report on the change in industrial production in August on Monday, the inflation report for September on Wednesday. The greatest interest, of course, will be caused by the consumer price index, which in recent months has fallen to absolute lows. A value below 1.0% will no longer be considered just low, but critical. And then it can be expected from the ECB and a new reduction in key rates, the quantitative stimulus program in the first months of its operation is unlikely to be changed, but in the future it can be expanded. And for the euro, these are all potential bearish factors. We still believe that in the confrontation with the dollar, a single European trump card is very small. And at the moment, we consider the main factor behind the growth of the euro a banal technical need to be adjusted from time to time. There is no positive news from the EU. Recently, everything is not good in the United States too, but America's economy is still stronger, macroeconomic indicators are higher, monetary policy is tougher. It is these factors that continue to play for the dollar.

USD/CAD - Heading downwards
Greetings, dear traders. This time, I will show you a long-term recommendation on an instrument such as USD / CAD.
What is interesting in this instrument now? First of all, the data on unemployment from Canada came out last Friday. Typically, these reports come out simultaneously with American Non-farm (NFP), but this time, the publication was separate. With this impulse, the Canadian dollar strengthened strongly against the US dollar, completely absorbing the abnormal growth a week earlier. At the moment, this indicates a very strong seller in the market.
Since the plan is long-term, its implementation can take from several days to several weeks. Thus, it makes sense to wait for a rollback and consider selling on smaller TFs.
It's important to understand that a lot of data will be released on Wednesday, such as the base index of retail sales for the American dollar and inflation for the Canadian one. Moreover, regular oil reserves will also affect the Canadian dollar. What is more reasonable here would be to expect the continuation of decline precisely after the release of all these news on Wednesday.

EUR/USD - through thorns to the stars!
Greetings, dear traders. It is time to remember about EUR/USD, which has successfully fulfilled our previous plans. Following GBP/USD, the European currency is now demonstrating a strong bullish direction. It's easy to guess that all these movements are connected with the next portion of news regarding Brexit. If you omit all the fundamental details and focus on how to make money from it, the answer is simple. To take a neat positions in the purchases with a pullback. At the same time, wherever you try to buy, the extreme point of the scenario cancellation is today's minimum at the quote of 1.0991. Therefore, you can limit losses to this level. It is recommended to holding purchases (at least partially) at the level of 1.1064, since this is an important level for sellers over the past few days.

GBP/USD. Turns of the British currency: Johnson repeats the path of Theresa May
Passion for Brexit reaches its zenith. In the afternoon, the pound paired with the dollar soared to the borders of the 30th figure (that is, to 5-month highs), responding to a statement by European Commission President Juncker that the deal between London and Brussels is "ready." But literally an hour later, the pair collapsed 200 points down after the first comments by representatives of the British Parliament. The opposition did not skimp on epithets: in particular, Jeremy Corbyn called the draft deal "corrupt", adding that Johnson's dealings were "even worse than Theresa May". However, despite such harsh comments, the market still expects the British prime minister to submit the draft deal to the House of Commons on Saturday.
At that time, Michel Barnier, the chief negotiator from the European Union, was the main newsmaker. Exactly a year ago, he said that the deal could already be concluded during the EU summit, which, like this year, was held on October 17-18. Brussels and London then were able to find a common denominator in many key issues, moreover, within the framework of Theresa May's Chequers plan, which the future Prime Minister Boris Johnson so eagerly criticized. May proposed to solve the Irish question in a different way: she agreed to establish checkpoints on the border and introduce "certain administrative procedures". EU representatives refused to consider other options, and interpreted the proposed conditions as a compromise. As you know, the deputies of the House of Commons categorically rejected the proposed conditions, failing the vote three times.
Thus, Johnson will have a difficult battle in the walls of Parliament. Judging by the dynamics of the pound, traders do not lose hope of agreeing on a deal this Saturday: otherwise, the GBP/USD pair will return first to the middle of the 24th figure, and then (less impulsive) to the levels of annual lows, that is, to the bottom of the 20th figure. If a "miracle" happens and the prime minister finds votes in Parliament, the pound paired with the dollar will fly up to 1.35-1.37, up to the 40th figure, after the deal between London and Brussels is officially agreed. And although these price values look abnormally high, it is worth recalling that on the eve of the 2016 referendum, the GBP/USD pair was trading in the area of 1.43-1.46, and after the announcement of the results, the plebiscite plunged to 1.25-1.27 in a few weeks, followed by a decline to the bottom of 20- x figures. "The return trip to an upward direction" may not be so impulsive, but at the same time, the resolution of many years of intrigue will allow the pair to grow by at least 500-600 points. As the saying goes, The Show Must Go On ...

Forecast for EUR/USD on October 21, 2019
The euro exceeded the closest target level of 1.1155 at the Fibonacci level of 110.0% on Friday, probably on the optimism of investors on a new EU deal with the British prime minister about more favorable conditions for themselves than they were before (Theresa May's options). Today, the British Parliament begins to finalize the deal.
https://forex-images.ifxdb.com/userf...d36ea58a8b.png
On the daily chart, the price has consolidated above the line of the descending price channel, the Marlin oscillator shows a reversal only to insignificant depth, therefore the next target of 1.1215 as the Fibonacci level of 100.0% becomes relevant.
https://forex-images.ifxdb.com/userf...d370048f61.png
On the four-hour chart, Marlin is expanding deeper, but it has not yet formed a divergence as a reversal formation, which also speaks in favor of the rising scenario. A trend reversal, of course, does not have to be accompanied by divergences, but then the fall of the signal line should be sharp, with the formation of a spike. So, we are waiting for the euro to grow by around 70 points, after which reversal elements may be added to the technical picture.

USD / CAD: Sellers in business
Good evening, dear traders. Today, there is a small recommendation on USD / CAD, and the decline of which is now very likely.
The thing is that yesterday's news from Canada caused a great reaction from the market, and in the end, we see that all the news impulses from the buyer were completely absorbed, and this is a harbinger of even a local, but decline.
Therefore, today, I recommend trying to work on the decline of USD / CAD currency pair with a take profit at around 1.3070. Moreover, the maximum point of yesterday's loss will be considered to be the maximum of yesterday's news - the level of 1.3121. If the price updates the maximum, the scenario can be considered completely canceled.

Control zones EURUSD 11/04/19
At the end of last week, the defining resistance was the Weekly Control Zone 1/2 1.1161-1.1153. At the same time, the closing of trading on Friday occurred above this zone. This opens up opportunities for further growth of the pair to weekly control zone 1.1249-1.1233. The euro purchases come to the fore, however, favorable prices are located just below the level of 1.1134.
At the moment, the pair is trading near the maximum of the last month, which increases the possibility of the proposal and the continuation of the formation of the accumulation zone. Work within the accumulation zone will be relevant until the closure of one of the active sessions occurs above the weekly maximum. If this happens, then the growth rate will increase and a weekly test will take one to two days. In the event of a major offer after updating the monthly maximum, the target will be the level of 1.1134, where a new priority will be determined.

Forecast for EUR/USD on November 6, 2019
EUR/USD
The euro closed the day down by 51 points yesterday. Business media point out the reason for the optimistic sentiment among investors regarding the upcoming US and China trade deal and good October ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI, which rose from 52.6 to 54.7. But with a broad view of the market, it is clear that investors are far from experiencing the interest in risk that was on Friday after the release of US employment data. The Dow Jones stock index grew just 0.11%, while the S&P 500 fell 0.12%. The general mood for dollar purchases remains, and it is characteristic that the price has not reached the levels at which the massive closing of euro purchases began on October 22 and 24, which we spoke about at the time.
The decline in the euro stopped at the Fibonacci level of 123.6% at the lows of October 25-29. There may be a respite before the subsequent downward movement. The signal line of the Marlin oscillator penetrates into the negative trend zone. After a respite, we are waiting for prices to fall to the MACD line at around 1.1027. We admit corrective growth to the price channel line near 1.1104.
The situation is completely declining on the four-hour chart: the price is under the lines of balance and MACD, the Marlin oscillator is developing in the territory of the declining trend.

Control zones NZDUSD 11/11/19
The downward movement of the pair is impulsive, as the pair has gone beyond the average weekly movement. This indicates a high likelihood of continued fall and an update of the monthly low. Sales will be profitable after the pair returns to the broken middle course zone. The lower boundary of this zone is at the level of 0.6354.
Work in the downward direction will be a priority at the beginning of the new week. The first goal of the fall will be WCZ 1/2 0.6271-0.6265.
A strong increase in demand is required to break the downward momentum, which will lead to the closure of trading on Monday to be above Friday's Asian session. This will indicate the emergence of a major player interested in the appreciation of the New Zealand dollar.

Oil returned to production
Euphoria over the proximity of the agreement between China and the United States to end the trade war pulled up quotes of the Brent and WTI. Nevertheless, it was worth of Donald Trump to say that the issue of the rollback of import duties has not yet been resolved, China will notice an 11.5% increase in black gold imports in October, and Oman will declare at the OPEC+ meeting that the agreement on production cut would be extended in the previous volume, as the bulls in both varieties began to get nervous.
As I noted in several previous materials, the slowdown in shale production in the United States, on the one hand, and the reduction in its volumes by Saudi Arabia, Russia, and other countries, on the other hand, have made the factor in changing global demand as the main driver of pricing. The slowdown in its growth under the influence of trade wars caused oil to fall from April to September, however, as soon as a turning point emerged in relations between Beijing and Washington, the situation changed radically. Speculators began to leave short positions and open long ones, and black gold added about 5% since the beginning of November.
The dynamics of speculative positions and quotes WTI
China is the largest oil consumer in the world, therefore, an increase in its imports in January-October by 10.5% YOY made it possible for investors to raise the logical question: if a trade war does not prevent China from increasing purchases of black gold, is it worth expecting that an agreement between Beijing and Washington will sharply raise prices? It is possible that most of the positive has already been incorporated into the Brent and WTI quotes, so the agreement under Phase 1 will go unnoticed by the players.
Technically, a breakthrough of resistance at $62.6 and $63.6 (Pivot levels) will make it possible for the Brent bulls to continue the rally in the direction of the targets for the Wolfe Wave and Shark patterns. They are located near the marks of $72.1 and $73.8 per barrel. On the contrary, the inability of buyers to storm important levels will increase the risks of declining quotes to $59.3 and $56.3.

Forecast for EUR/USD on November 15, 2019
On Thursday, due to new difficulties in relations between the United States and China (China is resisting the signing of a clearly unprofitable trade agreement for it), investors chose to close their positions due to the uncertain economic data for Europe and the US that are coming out today, right before strong technical support (1.0985). The price exceeded the MACD line, the Marlin oscillator showed a reversal, but these are not yet sufficient conditions for significant growth, the situation is typical for correction. With the return of the price under the MACD line, the next wave of activity in euro sales is likely. We do not expect a correction above the Fibonacci level of 123.6% (1.1073).
https://forex-images.ifxdb.com/userf...e2c00129a2.png
On the four-hour chart, the Marlin signal line entered the growth zone, while the price remains below the MACD line. The exit of the price above the line (1.1035) will allow the euro to develop a correction. This can be prevented by economic indicators; The eurozone trade balance for September is expected today to fall from 20.3 billion euros to 18.7 billion, US retail sales are projected to grow by 0.1% in October from -0.3% in September. Concern is caused by industrial production in the US for October, the forecast is -0.4%.
https://forex-images.ifxdb.com/userf...e2c15e2456.png
So, after the correction is over, we are waiting for a new round of euro decline. Overcoming the first support at 1.0985 opens the way to the second goal 1.0925.

Control zones USDJPY 11/18/19
The pair tested the WCZ 1/2 108.48-108.38 last Thursday. Consolidation below the zone did not occur, therefore, the upward medium-term impulse remains a priority. The first growth target is the November high. Its achievement will make it possible to close part of the purchases and transfer the rest to breakeven.
Closing Friday trades made it possible to form an absorption pattern of the daily level, which confirms the bullish momentum.
Re-absorption of Friday purchases will be required to implement an alternative option. The probability of this is below 30%, which does not make it possible to consider sales. The main goal of the bullish impulse is the weekly control zone 110.15-109.94, which gives a favorable risk-to-profit ratio for any purchase made from current levels and below. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the possibility of adding to a long position.
Daily CZ - daily control zone. The area formed by important data from the futures market, which change several times a year.
Weekly CZ - weekly control zone. The zone formed by important marks of the futures market, which change several times a year.
Monthly CZ - monthly control zone. The zone, which is a reflection of the average volatility over the past year.

Trading idea for the AUD/USD pair
Good evening, dear traders! The growth of AUD / USD is what is interesting today. As we remember, unemployment data was published in Australia last week on November 14, to which this instrument reacted negatively: the AUD/USD currency pair was declining throughout the whole day. An important detail is that during the fall, an important extreme at 0.6810 was updated. Thus, I believe that this was a culmination of the downward trend in November, and given the reaction of the Australian dollar to this week's news, I think that local growth is possible to the level of 0.6843, which is the news' high on Wednesday. Now, why exactly this level? It's simple - every seller who believes in a further fall of this instrument will clearly depend precisely on the news impulse on November 14, so the price can go there with a high degree of probability.
Recommendation: try to buy in order to update the level of 0.6943. At the same time, losses can be limited to the lowest level of 0.6788 - there is no sense in holding purchases below, and in case of updating this minimum, the bullish scenario can be considered invalid.
Wishing you all success in trading and huge profits!

Developing USD/CAD pair and trading idea
During the previous recommendation on Friday,it is advised to develop the pair at least on a false breakdown of the level of 1.3269. Actually, this is exactly the outcome we are observing - on the news, this level was falsely broken, and thus, the recommendation completely justified itself. The plan was this:
Thus far, the intrigue of the instrument continues. False news breakdown of this level provides a good opportunity for the development of further medium-term upward trend. Since the end of October, there has been a prolonged upward trend on for this instrument, and the probability of its continuation is still high. For this reason, there is another recommendation for the same instrument today. I believe that the development will continue to a minimum to the level of 1.3326. Therefore, you can try to buy with a goal of updating it, limiting the risks at the price of 1.3254, since it makes no sense to keep purchases below the news last Friday. Updating Friday's minimum - the bullish scenario will be completely canceled.
Wishing you all success in trading and huge profits!

Forecast for EUR/USD on November 28, 2019
EUR/USD
On Wednesday, US statistics continued to delight investors and markets swayed towards the dollar. The euro lost 22 points. GDP for the third quarter amounted to 2.1% against the expectation of 1.9%, the volume of orders for durable goods increased by 0.6% in October against the forecast of -0.5%,
On the daily chart, the price went below the MACD indicator line. If today closes with a black candle, then the price will consolidate below it with the prospect of a medium-term decline. The immediate goal of this movement at 1.0925 is the lowest level of September 3 and 12. In the four-week period, the price of 1.0720/30 can be reached - the lower line of the blue price channel (visible on a very tight chart). The Marlin oscillator lies in the horizon in the negative trend zone, volatility is likely to be low in the thin market today.
On a four-hour chart, the price has consolidated under the blue line of MACD. The range between the levels of 1.0985-1.1026 is likely to be today (perhaps even tomorrow) a consolidation zone.

Why didn't the oil go upwards? Volume analysis for oil
Good evening, dear traders! Yesterday, we gave a trading idea for the growth of oil but paid attention to the evening news on oil reserves in the United States. Let's analyze this situation on volumes.
During the time of the opening of Europe, the price immediately went up and while it is on the way to the maximum of 58.74, there was another extremum - 58.56. At the breakdown of which, there was practically no doubt about the further increase in price. Looking at the chart, even the trend line up indicates purchases. However, It is very important that all this happened in the middle of the European session and before the release of the weekly news on Oil Reserves for about another 5 hours. That is, everyone only sees purchases.
At the time of the opening of the American session, there was also no increase in prices. Although the upward trend still remained, which added confidence in the growth.
In addition, at the time of the news release, summing up all mentioned above, the state of the price was such that all liquidity was not up, but, on the contrary, at the bottom with the nearest targets 58.13 and the American session of the previous day which is 57.76.
Oil's approach to the maximum in Europe:
Thus, the Europeans simply didn't have the courage to collect stocks before the reserves. Nevertheless, the stocks themselves came out large, which led to the sales of black gold.
This analysis is based on the US oil futures.

Control zones for USD/CAD on 12/03/19
During the second week, the pair is trading within the accumulation zone. This makes it possible to consider weekly extremes for finding entry points. The upper boundary is the maximum of the last week, which coincides with the Weekly Control Zone 1/2 1.3328-1.3319. Now, testing this zone will be decisive for the entire upward movement of the last month.
Working within the framework of the flat implies partial consolidation of transactions during tests of significant extremes.
An alternative model will be developed if the closure of today's trading occurs above the Weekly Control Zone 1/2. This will open the way for further growth. The nearest goal, in turn, will be the maximum of October. The test of which will increase the probability of a large offer.
Daily CZ - daily control zone. The zone formed by important data from the futures market that changes several times a year.
Weekly CZ - weekly control zone. The zone formed by the important marks of the futures market, which change several times a year.
Monthly CZ - monthly control zone. The zone that reflects the average volatility over the past year.

Forecast for USD/JPY on December 5, 2019
USD/JPY
The information received yesterday from the headquarters of the US and Chinese negotiators on trade encouraged the markets - representatives of the parties allowed the conclusion of the first phase of the deal until December 15, before the date of the introduction of tariffs on Chinese goods. The US S&P 500 index gained 0.63%, Nikkei 225 is currently up 0.70% and China A50 grew 0.36%. The price turned from the achieved first bearish goal - from the enclosed line of the price channel, a little short of the MACD line. The signal line of the Marlin oscillator is still in the negative trend zone, growth could continue, but still within the correction.
The correction can continue to the range of 109.30/50 (highs of October 30 and November 7), going over the range will mean the correction will go into a trend growth, the target will be the line of the green price channel in the region of 109.95. Leaving prices at yesterday's low opens the next bearish target at 107.57 - the intersection of the lines of the red and green price channels.

Developing the trading idea for oil
Good evening, dear traders! I present to you the development of a trading idea for oil based on volumetric analysis!
Let me remind you that the idea for purchasing oil for the absorption of the decline last Friday was presented yesterday (12/04/19), which happened without the participation of America, because they had a public holiday. After that, the Americans traded for the next 2 trading sessions at prices that were not very profitable for sales, i.e. cheap relative to prices before the holidays.
The price increase occurred before the news on Oil Reserves, but this also increased the probability of a maximum update, since oil production was sharply reduced and today, there was an opportunity to add long positions in order to update the last maximum of 58.74.
As a result, 250 points were earned from the entry point 56.30 to the crossing 58.74. Moreover, it would bring +60 points when adding a long position or purchasing from oil reserves.
Forecast:

Plans for gold
Good day, dear traders! It is time to turn to gold, for which there is a possibility of a large medium-term decline. Last week turned out to be very exciting for this instrument: at first, the main driver was the news on China, on which gold showed strong growth, but the week ended with a sheer drop in non-farms and a complete absorption of "Chinese" growth. It is important to note that a false breakout of the level of 1478.68, an important level for November sellers, was shown last week which confirms their strength.
Therefore, I believe that in the medium term gold will decline at least to the level of 1445.33. Whether this breakout turns out to be real or false does not matter, its presence is what is of significance to us. It is also necessary to remember that there will be another Federal Reserve meeting and a decision on the interest rate on Wednesday evening, which gold will definitely react strongly to. Therefore, I believe that until Wednesday, the development of a trend for gold is unlikely. I recommend that you wait until the pullback at least half of the Friday fall, after which you can look for the opportunity to take short positions in the medium term in order to update the price mark of 1445.33.
If the Friday fall is completely absorbed by buyers, this will mean that the priority has changed and the bearish scenario can be considered unfulfilled.
I remind you that the day of increased volatility in gold is on Wednesday evening - the interest rate on USD, as well as the Fed conference.
I wish you success in trading and big profits!

Trading idea for GBP/USD pair
Good evening, dear traders! I present to your attention a trading idea for the GBP/USD pair.
So, the Conservatives won the parliamentary elections in the UK, and now, no one doubts that the party of Boris Johnson will bring Brexit to its logical conclusion. On this news, the GBP/USD pair increased by 3500p for 5zn namely at the time of the announcement of the preliminary results of the parliamentary elections. And all would be nothing - both positive and joy for Britain. Thus, only those who already knew does not speak about it. However, no one here says how it is possible to earn money on it now. Therefore, I suggest one simple trading idea based on the "Hunt for Feet" method, and it consists of developing the stops of pound buyers, from Friday, as well as today. The fact is that over the past 1.5 days, buyers can become (put their stops) only at the level of 1.33, which is also round. It is believed that this is a great goal of "stop hunters", and you can quite easily implement it by using the signals of your strategies on smaller time frames to enter.
As usual, it is recommended to develop against the "crowd." Following a strategy is a distinctive feature of successful trading.
Good luck in trading and follow the money management!
