GOLD (XAU/USD) LOOKING TO MAKE A STRONG REBOUND
19:30 01.10.2017

Bears have been the headliners in the Gold’s price action across the board and according to the H4 chart, XAU/USD is expected to finish a correction started since three weeks ago. Between the 1280.95 and 1258.04 we’re expecting a demand zone to be found in order to gather momentum in favor of the bulls. If that happens, then we might expect a rally towards the -23.6% at 1393.38 level.

RSI indicator remains in the positive territory and invalidation zone for our outlook in the yellow metal is placed at the 1237.27 level.

NZD/USD: WILL KIWI RETURN TO BEARS?
06:59 02.10.2017

Recommendations:

BUY 0.7225 SL 0.728 TP1 0.728 TP2 0.737

SELL 0.7175 SL 0.7105 TP2 0.705

On the daily chart, the inability of bulls to hold the pair above the lower border of the bullish trend channel increases the risks of the pair’s advance to 127.2% target of AB=CD.

On H1, NZD/USD formed a “Widening wedge” pattern within consolidation to the short-term downtrend. The pair’s return to 23.6% of the wave 4-5 will create grounds for a reversal. On the other hand, decline below 88.6% of the wave 4-5 will be a signal of the bearish trend resumption.

AUD/USD: BEARS MADE A STOP
07:05 02.10.2017

Recommendation:

SELL 0.781 SL 0.7865 TP 0.7725 TP2 0.761

BUY 0.786 SL 0.7805 TP1 0.7915 TP2 0.7935

On the daily chart, AUD/USD reached 88.6% target of the “Bat” pattern. This increases the odds of the pair’s growth. On the other hand, if the Aussie returns to September low the “Bat” will start transforming into “Crab” with the target at 161.8%.

On H1, AUD/USD is consolidating within the short-term downtrend. A break of its lower border will allow bears to continue the decline. On the other hand, successful test of resistance at 0.7860 will be a signal for bulls to counterattack.

EUR/USD: BROKEN UPWARD "WEDGE"
07:50 02.10.2017

There's a "V-Top" pattern, so the price reached the nearest support at 1.1772. In this case, the market is likely going to continue declining towards the next support at 1.1739 - 1.1714. If a pullback from this area happens, we could have an upward correction in the direction of the closest resistance at 1.1772 - 1.1793.

We've got an upward "Wedge", which has been broken, so the price is declining. Therefore, we should keep an eye on the nearest support at 1.1739 - 1.1714 as an intraday target. However, we have a pullback from these levels, there'll be an opportunity to see a bullish price movement towards the closest resistance at 1.1772 - 1.1793.

GBP/USD: MOVING AVERAGES ACTED AS RESISTANCE
07:52 02.10.2017

The price is consolidating in a range of the developing "Wedge". So, the upper side of this pattern is likely going to be broken soon. The main intraday target is the nearest resistance at 1.3479 - 1.3533, which could be a departure point for another decline.

The Moving Averages have acted as resistance, so the price is declining. Meanwhile, if we see a pullback from the nearest support at 1.3328, bulls are likely going to break the local uptrend. If so, the price could achieve the closest resistance at 1.3404 - 1.3444.

08:22 02.10.2017

Wave 4 has been finished, cause there's a pullback from 0/8 MM Level. Also, there's an upward impulse in wave , so we've got developing wave [ii], which is about to end. In this case, we're likely going to have another upward impulse in wave [iii] of 5 soon.

USD/JPY: "HAMMER" ON 34 MOVING AVERAGE
11:58 02.10.2017

The 34 Moving Average has acted as support, so we've got a "Hammer" in this line. Therefore, bulls are likely going to test the upper "Window" in the short term. If a pullback from this level happens later on, we could have a downward correction.

There's a bearish "Engulfing", which has been formed at the last local high. So, there's an opportunity to have a downward correction in the coming hours. If a pullback from the 55 Moving Average arrives afterwards, bulls will probably try to deliver another upward price movement.

XAU/USD: BEARS ARE ATTACKING
06:53 03.10.2017

Recommendation:

BUY $1254

SL $1240

TP1 $1281 TP2 $1300 TP2 $1315

On the daily chart, XAU/USD went to an important support at $1267.6 an ounce. If bears manage to conquer it, risks of continuation towards the lower border of uptrend channel will significantly increase. On the other hand, recoil to the downside will allow consolidation in the $1265-1315 range.

On H1, XAU/USD is heading towards $1254. Near it there’s a lower border of the downtrend channel, 224% target of AB=CD and historic support. This increases the risks of a pullback.

Recommendation:

SL 1.254

TP1 1.2715 TP2 1.292 TP3 1.325

On the daily chart, USD/CAD bulls managed to overcome resistance at 1.2462. If they manage to conquer 1.2717 with ease, the odds of triggering the “Shark” patter will significantly increase. Its 88.6% target corresponds to 1.3250.

On H1, increase above resistance at 1.2533 will open the way to 1.2595 (88.6% of the last descending wave + 161.8% target of AB=CD). A successful test of this level will allow bulls to continue the rally.
