ELLIOTT WAVE ANALYSIS OF EUR/USD FOR MARCH 15, 2023

EUR/USD has consolidated just above the double bottom neckline near 1.0710 and is ready to push higher towards the next minor resistance at 1.0807. EUR/USD is making its way higher to the 1.1248 target and possibly even closer to 1.1424 before wave 5 is in place.

Support is seen at 1.0710 and then at 1.0636 which we expect will be able to act as a floor for the next impulsive rally higher towards 1.1248 and possibly higher.

TRADING PLAN FOR US DOLLAR INDEX ON MARCH 16, 2023

Technical outlook:
The US dollar index slipped through 104.50 during the New York session on Wednesday as discussed earlier. The index is seen to be trading close to 104.10 at this point in writing as the bears remain inclined to come back in control intraday. Interim support is now in place at 103.00 and the bullish structure will remain intact until it holds well.

The US dollar index is currently working on its larger-degree rally between 100.50 and 105.50 as seen on the 4H chart here. The bears have been successful to drag prices lower towards 103.00, which is the Fibonacci 0.50 retracement of the above rally. Please note that the potential remains for a drag lower towards 102.50 if an Up Gartley is unfolding.

In that case, prices will test the Fibonacci 0.618 retracement around 102.50 before resuming its rally towards 106.50 and 109.00. Also, note that 102.50 is the Fibonacci 0.618 retracement of the above rally, hence the potential remains high for a bullish turn if prices manage to reach there. The overall direction remains higher against 100.50.

Trading idea:
A potential rally towards 106.00 and 109.00
Good luck!

FORECAST FOR AUD/USD ON MARCH 17, 2023

Yesterday, the Australian dollar decided to take advantage of the wave of optimism in European markets and rose by 40 points. In today's Asian session, it is gaining the same amount.

AUD might reach the target level of 0.6730, and on the daily chart, the signal line of the Marlin oscillator will reach its zero line by that time. After that a synchronous reversal of the price and the oscillator from their resistances may follow.

On the four-hour chart, the price is rising after initial consolidation above the indicator lines and resistance level of 0.6640. If the price changes its mind to rise further, falling below the support of 0.6640 and under the MACD line (0.6630) will be a confirmation of it.

NZDUSD, H4 | POTENTIAL BEARISH REVERSAL

The NZD/USD chart currently displays a bearish momentum, with price below a major descending trend line and the bearish Ichimoku cloud. The potential price movement could involve a bearish reaction off the 1st resistance, leading to a drop towards the 1st support level.

At 0.6097, the 1st support level is a strong overlap support that lines up with the 38.20% Fibonacci retracement. If price drops below this level, the next support level it could reach is the 2nd support at 0.5897, which is a swing low support that has a 61.80% Fibonacci retracement lining up with it.

Alternatively, if price bounces from the 1st support level, it could rise to the 1st resistance level at 0.6284, which is a pullback resistance. Beyond that, the 2nd resistance level at 0.6476 is a significant multi-swing high resistance.

FORECAST FOR EUR/USD ON MARCH 21, 2023

Yesterday, the euro was up 53 points, having overcome not only the balance indicator line on the daily chart, but it had also gotten through the collapse of the eurozone trade balance for January at -30.6bn against the forecast of -12.5bn and -8.8bn in December. The signal line of the Marlin oscillator, which we considered in yesterday's review, reached the March 15 high, from which the oscillator, and the price behind it, may reverse to the downside.

If the price ignores today's ZEW eurozone economic sentiment indicator, which is expected to decline from 29.7 to 23.2 in the March estimate, the price might reach the 1.0758/87 target range. If expectations of the Federal Reserve's rate hike at tomorrow's meeting comes to the fore, the price will turn around towards 1.0660.

On the four-hour chart, the price is rising above the indicator lines, the Marlin oscillator is rising quietly in the area of the uptrend. In general, we can say that the price is in a neutral state. I still expect the euro to fall.

WTI, H4 | POTENTIAL REVERSAL?

WTI crude oil has been experiencing bearish momentum lately, potentially leading to a bearish reaction off the first resistance at 70.38 and a drop towards the first support at 67.02. The second support level at 64.36 is also expected to act as support due to its multi-swing low status. The first resistance level at 70.38 is an overlap resistance, with the second resistance level at 73.40 being a 50% Fibonacci retracement level. There is also an intermediate resistance level at 69.75. Overall, the chart's momentum is bearish

BTCUSD, H4 | POTENTIAL REVERSAL FROM A KEY LEVEL ?

The BTC/USD chart is currently bearish, indicating potential further price drops. The first resistance level at 28342 could prompt a bearish reaction towards the first support level at 26557. This support level is an overlap support with a 23.60% Fibonacci retracement, which could be a strong buying interest area. If broken, the price could fall towards the second support level at 25204, which is also an overlap support with a 38.20% Fibonacci retracement.

On the resistance side, the first resistance level at 28342 is a multi-swing high resistance that could lead to significant selling pressure. Breaking through it may drive the price towards the second resistance level at 31662, a swing high resistance.

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS OF GBP/USD FOR MARCH 28, 2023

Overview :

The GBP/USD pair traded higher and closed the day in the positive territory near the price of 1.2208. Right now, it was trading in a narrow range of 1.2150 staying close to a 2-days high. On the hourly chart, the GBP/USD pair is still trading above the MA (100) H1 moving average line (1.2068 - weekly pivot point). The situation is similar on the 4-hour chart. Based on the foregoing, it is probably worth sticking to the north direction in trading, and as long as the GBP/USD pair remains above MA 100 H1, it may be necessary to look for entry points to buy for the formation of a correction.

All elements being clearly bullish, it would be possible for traders to trade only long positions on the GBP/USD pair as long as the price remains well above the golden ratio of 1.2068. The buyers' bullish objective is set at 1.2209.

The price is likely to form a double top in the same time frame. Accordingly, the GBP/USD pair is showing signs of strength following a breakout of the highest level of 1.2209. So, buy above the level of 1.2068 with the first target at 1.2209 in order to test the daily resistance 1.

The level of 1.2209 is a good place to take profits. Moreover, the RSI is still signaling that the trend is upward as it remains strong above the moving average (100). This suggests that the pair will probably go up in coming hours.

FORECAST FOR GBP/USD ON MARCH 30, 2023

Yesterday, the pound, as well as other world currencies (especially the yen), refused to reach technical levels and turned down instead. The pound lost 27 pips, giving up the 1.2420 target. However, this level is very strong, and testing it while the market is neutral is unlikely to provide the pound with more prospects.

Now, the price can overcome the support level at 1.2278 and go down to 1.2155 to assess the new balance of power, as it is the middle of the range since mid-December 2022.

On the four-hour chart, the Marlin oscillator signal line is entering the downtrend area. The price is approaching the support level at 1.2278. The MACD line reached this support level, i.e. these lines coincide on different scales. And if so, a breakthrough of the support will have a strong subsequent impact on the price.

FORECAST FOR AUD/USD ON MARCH 31, 2023

The Australian dollar broke through the upper limit of the neutral range that started back on March 17. AUD climbed out of this range this morning.

It could fall to the lower limit of the range, like it did on the 23rd, but the ascending Marlin oscillator creates an advantage for the growth option, at first to 0.6790 and then, under the favorable circumstances, to 0.6873.

On the four-hour chart, the price is in an active position to rise above the indicator lines, the Marlin is growing at an even angle, with an optimal speed to enter the overbought zone. After consolidating above 0.6730, we can expect the price to rise further. However, this plan can potentially be hindered by the price breaking through the MACD line, below the 0.6693 mark.

XAUUSD, DAY | POTENTIAL BREAKOUT 1ST SUPPORTL?

Gold (XAU/USD) has been exhibiting a bullish trend, with an overall momentum that is also bullish. Based on the chart, the price has the potential to make a bullish rebound off the first support level and then move towards the first resistance.

The first support level, which is at 1948.51, is a strong overlap support level that has been tested multiple times and has acted as a support level in the past. Therefore, it is a good level for a potential bounce.

Another support level is located at 1881.07, which is also an overlap support level. It has been tested several times and has held as a support level, making it another level for a potential bounce.

Meanwhile, the first resistance level at 2000.00 is a multi-swing high resistance level that has been significant in the past. Additionally, it is located at the 127.20% Fibonacci Extension level, which provides additional confluence to the level.

Another resistance level is at 2070.00, which is a swing high resistance level. This level has also been important in the past, making it another level for traders to observe.

FORECAST FOR EUR/USD ON APRIL 4, 2023

The euro changed its bearish mood on Friday, and jumped by 120 pips on Monday from the low of the day, from the support of the target level, or more precisely, the upper limit of the target range of 1.0758/87. The price is consolidating above the MACD indicator line below the upper limit of the green price channel. Climbing above the 1.0930 reference level will make 1.0990 the next target.

Bears, if they don't want to give up easily and have control of the situation, must consolidate under the MACD line on the daily chart, below 1.0867. In this case, a divergence with the Marlin oscillator will unfold, and simultaneously, the signal line of the oscillator will leave the wedge and move down. The price will move towards the range of 1.0758/87.

On the four-hour chart, a double divergence of the price with the oscillator has already been formed. This is an effective sign of a reversal, but it's not enough. In the current conditions, the price needs to cross the support of the MACD line, around 1.0857, which is 10 pips below the MACD line on the daily chart. We have to wait what scenario the market will choose in the near future.

FORECAST FOR EUR/USD ON APRIL 5, 2023

The euro has chosen growth, at least soon. The EUR/USD exchange rate increased by 56 points yesterday. The price maintains its pursuit of the target level of 1.1033 – reaching its peak on February 2. Consolidation above the level will enable the target of 1.1185 — the maximum for March 2022 and the same minimum for November 2021 — to be reached.

Today, the United States will release March data on private, non-agricultural employment and the ISM Services PMI. ADP Non-Farm and ISM Services PMI are anticipated to decrease: ADP Non-Farm from 242 thousand to 200/208 thousand and ISM Services PMI from 55.1 to 54.5/3.

On the four-hour chart, the price is rising above the indicator lines, the Marlin oscillator is in the rising trend zone, and there are no indications of a price reversal.

FORECAST FOR EUR/USD ON APRIL 6, 2023

On Wednesday, the euro fell by 49 points, showing an intention to turn down in the short or medium term. However, this behavior has signs of a false movement.

There is no price divergence with the Marlin oscillator on the daily chart, which is rare for the saw-toothed movement of the oscillator signal line. There may be another final surge of the oscillator and the price, even if it doesn't reach the target level of 1.1033. At least (while there is no divergence), the price should settle below the MACD indicator line to create a sign of reversal, and that will take at least a day. If the bears succeed, the price will move to the target range of 1.0758/87. Meanwhile, the price can still try to overcome the April 4 high.

On the four-hour chart, the price falls below the MACD line, but the main support is the line of the higher chart (1.0872). The Marlin oscillator is already in the area of the downtrend, but there can also be a breakthrough.

FORECAST FOR GBP/USD ON APRIL 7, 2023

Yesterday, the pound reached a strong support level at 1.2422, which turned out to be an insurmountable resistance for the price in the second half of January. Now, if the pair crosses this level, the first target will be the MACD line at 1.2298, and after correcting the price may fall to 1.2155.

If the 1.2422 level is so strong that even good U.S. jobs data, if it is available today, will not be able to help the price to overcome it, the pair is likely to reverse to the target level of 1.2598. In this case, the signal line of the Marlin oscillator will climb from its own consolidation.

On the four-hour chart, the 1.2422 level is reinforced by the MACD indicator line. And even though the Marlin oscillator is already in negative territory, it can reluctantly follow the price in case it rises. It is a holiday in Europe, and the only driver may be the U.S. employment data. Let's wait for the report and see how things unfold.

BTCUSD, Daily | Potential reversal from 1st resistance?

The BTC/USD chart currently reflects a bearish momentum in the cryptocurrency market, and Bitcoin seems to be following the trend. The chart suggests that the price of Bitcoin could face resistance at the 1st resistance level of 28343, which has previously been an important level as an overlap resistance. If Bitcoin fails to break through this level, it may result in a bearish reaction causing the price to drop towards the 1st support level of 25249. This level, being a pullback support, could act as a strong support for the price of Bitcoin.

In the event that the price of Bitcoin breaks through the 1st resistance level, the next resistance level it could face is the 2nd resistance level of 32843, which is a pullback resistance. Conversely, if Bitcoin breaks below the 1st support level, the next support level it could drop to is the 2nd support level of 23925. This level, also being a pullback support, could potentially act as a strong support for the price of Bitcoin.

Additionally, there is an intermediate support level at 26598, which is a swing low support and is accompanied by a 23.60% Fibonacci retracement. This level could potentially provide support to the price of Bitcoin if it drops towards the 1st support level. Overall, the BTC/USD chart's momentum is bearish, indicating that the price is expected to continue falling in the near term.

USDJPY, H4 | Potential reversal from 1st resistance?

The current momentum of the USD/JPY chart is bearish, indicating a potential price drop in the near future. A significant resistance level to watch is at 133.76, which is a strong pullback resistance level and coincides with the 78.60% Fibonacci projection. If the price reacts bearishly at this level, it may potentially fall towards the first support at 131.81. This support level is an overlap support and also lines up with the 61.80% Fibonacci retracement level, making it a significant level for a potential price rebound.

If the price breaks below the first support, it may fall towards the second support at 130.53, which is also an overlap support level. However, if the price breaks above the first resistance, it may potentially rise towards the second resistance at 134.08. This is an overlap resistance level and also has the 61.80% Fibonacci retracement level lining up with it, making it a significant level to watch.
