USDJPY to top soon?

Hi Traders,

The long running uptrend of USDJPY (now at 117.91) - that started on OCT 31 2011 - could finally come to an end by topping in the area 124-126.

This should be followed by a retracement to the area around 111-109.


TARGETS

first up to:

likely: area 123.734-124.088
possibly: area 124.797-125.683
maybe: 125.759-126.330

then down to:

likely: 115.759-114.962
possibly: 111.683-111.329
maybe: 108.898


ELLIOTT WAVES

The monthly and weekly charts show that wave 9 is approaching the target. In the daily and 4-hour charts this would be wave 13.

In the 4-hour and 1-hour charts note wave 1 and 2 which mark the beginning and the end of the triangle. They will be followed by 3 wave up to the target.

AUDUSD to stop at 0.78?

Hi Traders,

The AUDUSD needs another little dive just below the 0.78 area before finding some temporary strength to start a trading range between 0.78 and 0.837

TARGETS

first down to

likely: 0.7800
possibly: 0.7693-0.7676

then trading range between 0.78 and 0.837

ELLIOTT WAVES

Weekly and daily charts indicate that the Aussies dollar has almost completed wave 3 (out of 5). This "wave 3" of a major degree is made out of 5 little waves of a minor degree (see 4-hour and 1-hour charts). We still need "minor wave 5" to complete "major wave 3" down.

Then the AUDUSD should be able to bounce back and start the trading range above mentioned. This trading range could eventuate as an "a-b-c-d-e triangle".

Gold New Top

Hi Traders,

Gold (now at 1289) should top around the area 1318.12-1320.71 (see daily chart) and start a new downtrend soon.

If this is just a retracement, the new downtrend should lead to the area 1240.41-1238.18 or even the area 1223.05-1221.45.

Conversely, if GOLD resumed the original downtrend, the yellow metal should finally bottom down at 1089 or a bit lower.

TARGETS

first up to (see weekly chart)

likely: area 1311.81-1313.67 
possibly: area 1318.12-1320.71
maybe: area 1333.23-1337.49

Then down to

1) If this is just a retracement:

support 1: 1257.81 -1254.96

support 2: 1240.41-1238.18

support 3: 1223.05-1221.45

support 4: 1203.31- 1201.47

2) If Gold resumed the original downtrend:

likely: 1089.05

possibly: 1043-1032

ELLIOTT WAVES

The daily chart shows that we are approaching the top of "wave e" which is also the top of "major wave 4". A short  wave 5 downwards should unfold soon.

Note the 9 waves in the 4-hour chart and 1-hour chart

NOTE:

Some say that Silver bottomed down on Dec 1st and started a new major uptrend already. Hence, the above analysis would generate an inconsistency given the tight Gold-Silver correlation.

Definitively possible, but for the time being, I stick to my Elliott wave count which seem to be leading to a new major low soon.

FURTHERMORE

Some may find the wave labelling in the 4-hour chart and in the 1-hour chart "a bit too bold". Understandable, but it would make no difference. Other interpretations would probably lead to the same result: the start of a downtrend.

WTI OIL, the last dive, for now

Hi Traders,

WTI OIL is set to perform the last dive to the area $42-$40 followed by a long trading range between the new low and $61-63.

TARGETS

likely: 42.04-43.14
possibly: 40.94-40.39

ELLIOTT WAVES

The weekly and daily charts show that we are bottoming down by completing wave 3 (of 5) down to the above targets. The 4-hour and 1-hour charts show that it's a matter of hours for this to occur.

The new low at $42-$40 should be followed by the retracement wave 4 (weekly and daily charts), made out of 5 waves. It might unfold with a triangle or a similar formation, with the first leg reaching up the area at $61-$63.

WTI OIL bottoming soon

Hi Traders, Happy 2015!

The WTI OIL (now at $48.81) is performing a small rebound to $50-$52 before resuming the downtrend to the support area at $45-$42.

After reaching the new low, it should start a long trading range (months) with a top around $69-$70.

TARGETS:

first up to:

likely:$50.20-$50.29

possibly: $51.27-$51.75

then down to:

likely: $45.34-$44.65

possibly: $43.14-$42.04

ELLIOTT WAVES

The weekly chart shows that wave 3 (in magenta) will be fully shaped only by reaching the target down to $45-$42. This will be followed by wave 4, an "a-b-c-d-e wave" that might take few months to reach the top at $69-$70.

The fact that wave 3 is not finished (weekly chart) is revealed in the 4-hour chart where wave 5 downwards still requires the small waves 4 and 5 (in green, font 8) to enfold and fully complete the pattern.

The 1-hour chart also confirms the same ongoing rebound (wave 4) that should lead up to the area around $50-$52 (wave 4). This wave will be followed by wave 5 down to the area $45-$42.

The completion of these 5 little waves in the 1-hour chart will complete wave 3 in the weekly chart.

All of this (1-hour chart) is likely to occur within a week or two.

The Swiss referendum on Gold

Hi Traders,

Please read about Swiss referendum on gold reserves. Very interesting.
http://snbchf.com/2014/09/ron-paul-swiss-gold-referendum/

If the Swiss people see this "gold-guaranteed-Switzerland" as a good business, they will go for it.

Besides, there's a precedent that speaks out loudly: since 1968, Switzerland enormously treasured from the world inflation by getting a huge capital inflow that lasted decades.

This in turn, generated more wealth management for the banks and a lot more business for the country. 

This is a clear signal to the world that Switzerland is getting ready for the upcoming inflation and it's back into the good old role of "safe banking heaven" as usual.

Switzerland surprised me many times and may do it again, especially after the ongoing Real Estate Bubble caused by the peg to Euro.

Finally, as I said in my previous newsletters, after the Central Bank Gold Agreement (CBGA) on May 19,  the 21 European Central Banks stopped selling Gold

So, who is still selling Gold right now? Well, buckle up: volatility is coming soon.

WTI OIL very last dive

Hi Traders,

WTI OIL (now at 75.00) is very close to the ultimate support around 72.40. I believe that the downtrend is very close to the end of the line. Expect strong volatility as the new uptrends starts over.

TARGETS

First down to the area around 72.40
then up to the area 85.46-85.88 (see daily chart)

ELLIOTT WAVES

The weekly chart shows that the a-b-c-d-e will be completed soon by reaching the area around 72.40 where a new uptrend should start shortly.

The 4-hour and 1-hour chart are clearly sounding the bell as OIL is staging the very last sub-minuette wave down to the target.

NATURAL GAS NEW UPTREND

Hi Traders,

As predicted, Natural Gas topped within the target area at 4.50-4.56. Then again, it retraced to another predicted target area at 4.21-4.18.

Now, Natural Gas should resume the uptrend to the area 5.10-5.13 and higher.

TARGETS

likely: 5.10-5.13
possibly: 5.37-5.38

ELLIOTT WAVES

Wave 2 in the 4-hour chart stopped right in the middle of wave 4 of a lower degree, as by Ralph Elliott teachings.

This new upcoming uptrend is nothing more than "wave 3" of the recently started trend at 3.537. See the charts below.

WTI OIL Bottoming Down

Hi Traders,

WTI OIL is very close to the support at 75.62-74.94. The sputtering downtrend is "kicking the bucket" and the start of a new uptrend is only hours away.

TARGETS

First down to the area 75.62-74.94
then up to the area 87.53-87.62

ELLIOTT WAVES

The weekly chart shows that the a-b-c-d-e will be completed by reaching the area 75.62-74.94 where a new uptrend should start shortly.

The 4-hour and 1-hour chart are clearly sounding the bell as OIL is staging the very last sub-minuette wave down to the target.
