After a 20 month-long sideways consolidation Gold is likely to find support at the strong support area between $1,525-$1,535. Since October 2012, prices have been moving lower as part of the sideways consolidation. Gold tested the support area for 4 times over the past 20 months. On the long-term chart, decade-long uptrend had two major […]
Japan’s Nikkei 225 index is losing momentum after the strong rally. In mid-December 2012 I drew attention to the strong breakout in Japanese equities (December 19, 2012 – Japan Nikkei 225) supported by a weakening Yen. Breakout from a 3 year-long downtrend at 10,000 levels was followed by a sharp upward move. As we got closer to […]
Equities are testing new high levels. Currencies are volatile, especially after the latest sharp movements on JPY, GBP and EUR. Gold is testing a major support level.

Volatility in currencies keeps rising with GBP/USD breaking down a long-term support earlier during the month, JPY/USD rallying towards 95 levels over the past 2 months and now NZD/USD breaking down a strong 8 month-long trend line support.

Both Italy and Spain are holding above their 200 day moving averages. After bottoming in mid-2012, both indices have formed higher highs and higher lows. Lower boundary of short/medium-term trend channels and the 200 day averages are overlapping at recent low levels and strengthening support levels for both indices. As long as Italy’s MIBTEL holds above 15,600 and […]
GOLD is likely to find support between $1,525 and $1,550. Year-long consolidation range has been intact between $1,525 and $1,800 levels. Latest sell-off in gold prices is not different that the earlier weaknesses precious metal experienced when the price reached the lower boundary of the medium-term consolidation range. Long-term trend analysis and the moving averages suggest $1,525 should act as […]
1.75 levels has been long-term support for the USD/TL. In the last quarter of 2011, cross rate breached above 1.75 levels and since then price has been consolidating above this critical technical support level. Over the past week, cross rate rebounded from the horizontal support to test the year-long trend resistance at 1.80 levels. Breakout above 1.80 can […]
Here we have another soft commodity that is closer to its long-term support area. Similar to sugar, cocoa also peaked in the beginning of 2011 and since then prices have pulled back to test the lower boundary of the long-term trend channel at 2,050 levels. Finding support between 2,050 and 2,100 could help cocoa establish a new long-term uptrend. […]
