USD/JPY: near strong resistance




The pair rallied towards north from 97 to 103.40. The Bank of Japan helped to push yen 6 month's low. Better than expected US economic data increased expectations of a near term tampering of the Fed's purchasing program.
The Japanese PM proceed with his April sales tax raise form 5% to 8% and a $51 billion stimulus plan. The BoJ would continue buying enough assets to pump up the monetary base at a rate of about $596-695 billion.
The Japanese stock market Nikkei push to a 6 month high going north very strongly, we expect Nikkei would climb 17k, 17,500 levels. Japan is going to invest $2tn of pension funds in stocks and other riskier assets. Japan's central bank maintained its target for asset purchases, as widely expected. We expect some liquidity landed in India and America probably next year. This is the time Western Gold Community will focus on Japan's liquidity to buy gold which is currently trading at uneconomic levels.
The pair halted at a major resistance level May's high 103.73. On the down side strong support exists at 101.5
Our long term target is 125.
Recommendation-
Buy above 102.7 the pair will jump to 103 103.5 103.7. Downside support at 102.2 102 101.5

Elliott Wave analysis of EUR/NZD for December 5, 2013




Today's support and resistance levels:
R3: 1.6681
R2: 1.6627
R1: 1.6592
Current spot: 1.6578
S1: 1.6535
S2: 1.6517
S3: 1.6443

Technical summary:
We have seen a clear impulsive five wave rally from the 1.6443 low to 1.6635 (a little below the ideal target of 1.6658). The correction from 1.6635 could be over with the test of 1.6527, but to confirm that, we need for minor support at 1.6535 to protect the downside for a break above 1.6591 and more importantly a break above 1.6635. As this is a minor green wave ii, which is currently developing, it can continue all the down to 1.6443, but that scenario is less likely.

Trading recommendation:
Stay long EUR and keep your stop at 1.6440. If you are not long EUR yet, then buy a break above 1.6591 with the same stop at 1.6440.

Elliott wave analysis of EUR/NZD for December 9, 2013




Today's Support and Resistance levels:
R3: 1.6688
R2: 1.6601
R1: 1.6556
Current Spot: 1.6521
S1: 1.6470
S2: 1.6454
S3: 1.6443

Technical summary:
We did not expect an expanding flat correction to develop, but as long as important support at 1.6443 stays untouched, we will be looking for a break above 1.6556 and more importantly a break above 1.6750 confirming a new powerful rally higher. However, a break below 1.6443 will be a game changer and call for a new decline towards 1.5900 and likely even below. In the short term we would like to see support in the 1.6500-1.6510 zone protecting the downside for a rally above 1.6556 indicating that we have seen the expanding flat correction end at 1.6470.

Trading recommendation:
To our suprise, our stop at 1.6520 was hit, but we will re-buy EUR here at 1.6521 with a stop + reverse at 1.6440.

Elliott wave analysis of EUR/NZD for December 10, 2013




Today's Support and Resistance levels:
R3: 1.6750
R2: 1.6688
R1: 1.6615
Current Spot: 1.6586
S1: 1.6550
S2: 1.6508
S2: 1.6470

Technical summary:
We have seen the expected rally above minor resistance at 1.6556 indicating that green wave ii ended at 1.6470 and that green wave iii is developing. In the short term we would like to see support at 1.6550 protecting the downside for a break above 1.6615 and more importantly a break above 1.6750, which will confirm that green wave iii is indeed developing for a rally towards at least 1.7239 and likely even higher. Only a break below 1.6470 will be of concern and could add considerable downside pressure.

Trading recommendation:
Stay long from 1.6520 with a stop at 1.6465. If you are not long in EUR yet, then buy after a break above 1.6615 with the same stop at 1.6465.

Gold short betting was increased





Short betting was increased in yellow metal couple of times and longs slipped. Gold lost almost 25% year to date from its 2011 peaks. Speculations increases as the Fed date comes closer. Expectations of Fed tampering of its purchasing program makes gold move southward.
Dip buying and the weakness in USD makes gold fly higher. Gold holdings with SPDR ETF were unchanged at 835.705 tonnes.
In the tech view gold is holding its June lows around 1,180. That day gold opened at 1,200 and managed to close at higher levels, but it hit a low at 1,180. For the last few days, gold managed to hold 1,210 levels and moved towards resistance levels. We can see 1,200 levels as a floor price.
Resistance: 1,268, 1,278.
Support: 1,247, 1,240, 1,233.
Close above 1,278, then the bulls dominate in the short term, until gold trades in tight zones. Cmp 1,254.

Exxon yearly breakout channel





Exxon Mobil shows a good rally from the October low at 84.84. It has moved all the way to 98.8. Indicators are overbought slightly. It has broken up yearly trendline. I could expect Exxon to move much more higher to levels around 103. Monthly charts are showing bigger targets. Before an upward movement, it should make some correction and consolidation to move higher.
Support 96.6 94.5 94.2
