Gold: bulls need a rest
11/4/2016 On the daily chart of gold, the first ($ 1300) of two targets on the long positions has been fulfilled. "Bulls" were stopped by resistance at $1305. Quotes failed to hold above the convergence zone ($1298-1305) thereby creating prerequisites for the correction towards the short-term uptrend. https://fxbazooka.com/img/articles/1...4_08_26_07.png On the hourly chart of gold, the price rise above $1306 will be a signal of the continuation of their rally. On the contrary, a successful test of the lower boundary of the upward trade channel will strengthen the rollback risks towards $1,275. There is target 88.6% of the "Bat" pattern. https://fxbazooka.com/img/articles/1...4_08_28_17.png Recommendation: BUY $1306 SL $1290 TP $1340 BUY $1275 SL $1260 TP $1310.

EUR/USD: local flat going to be continued
11/4/2016 https://fxbazooka.com/img/articles/1...016-EUR-H4.png Bulls faced a resistance at 1.1122, so we’ve got the current consolidation. Therefore, the market is likely going to decline towards the 89 Moving Average. However, we’ve got a “Double Bottom” pattern here, so there’s an opportunity to have a bullish price movement afterwards. https://fxbazooka.com/img/articles/1...016-EUR-H1.png The price is consolidating between the nearest support at 1.1122 and the 34 Moving Average. Also, we’ve got a “Flag”, so the pair is likely going to test a resistance at 1.1122 once again. If a pullback from this level happens, bears will probably try to achieve the nearest support at 1.1069 – 1.1057. More: https://fxbazooka.com/analytics/11180 |

GBP/USD: bulls going to break downtrend
11/4/2016 https://fxbazooka.com/img/articles/1...016-GBP-H4.png Bulls have broken the last “Rectangle” pattern, but the price faced a resistance on the downtrend line afterwards. In this case, bulls is likely going to try to break this line and climb even higher. The main intraday target is a resistance at 1.2621. https://fxbazooka.com/img/articles/1...016-GBP-H1.png We’ve got a local consolidation on the one-hour chart. It seems like bears are going to test a support at 1.2429 – 1.2399 during the day. If a pullback from this area happens, there’ll be an option to have another upward price movement.

The breakout of the resistance level 1.0300 is likely to accelerate the active minor impulse waves (iii) and 3 – both of which belong to the sharp intermediate impulse wave (3) from August. AUD/CAD is likely to rise further toward the next buy target at the next round resistance level 1.0400.

USD/JPY: weekly outlook for November 7-11
11/4/2016 USD/JPY fell from 105.2 to 102.4 on the growing concerns over the US election outcome. The greenback got some support from the decent US unemployment report and trade balance on Friday. On Tuesday, the Bank of Japan left its policy settings unchanged as broadly expected by the market. It also pushed back the timing for hitting the inflation target as its current monetary policy measures failed to weaken the yen. The US presidential election scheduled for November 8 will be the key driver of USD/JPY currency pair over the short term. If Donald Trump wins the presidential race, JPY can rise significantly in the near-term, as more traders and investors sail in safe harbors. The nearest support for USD/JPY lies at 102.5 level. Once it’s broken, the pair could slide down further towards 102.00 and 101 levels. If Hillary Clinton wins, the market reaction should be limited. USD/JPY could test 104.00 level and in the case of the breakout move further towards 106.9 mark located against 200-day moving average. On Wednesday, watch for Japan’s current account data. If the report indicates surplus, the yen can edge up in relation to US dollar. On Thursday look through core machinery orders in search for the green shoots of Japan’s economic activity. On Friday, keep an eye on the producer price inflation data. https://fxbazooka.com/img/articles/1...YDaily(21).png More: https://fxbazooka.com/analytics/11188 |

AUD/USD: weekly outlook for November 7-11
11/4/2016 Aussie performed well in the course of this week but failed to break the resistance at 0.7700. On Tuesday, the Reserve Bank of Australia left the cash rate unchanged at 1.5%. The latest PMI surveys from China offered additional support to AUD and signaled that China’s economic growth has steadied. Commodity prices continue to rise giving Aussie a room for a further appreciation. On Friday, the RBA didn’t change its forecasts for inflation and economic growth but sounded dovish promising to introduce more easing if Australian economy needs a boost. Retail sales in September showed a slight increase (by 0.2%) followed by 0.3% rise in August. Next week traders will be all eyes on the US presidential election that will take place on November 8, as there won’t be any significant releases, events that could bring big changes to the chart. Until this day AUD/USD will be trading below 0.7700. Whatever the outcome of the US election, Aussie should hold up better than other currencies given the rise in commodity prices, acceleration of China’s economic growth and accommodative monetary policy of the Reserve Bank of Australia. A Trump win might cause Aussie to rise to 0.7800 (April’s high), as the Fed could disregard the need for the rate hike in December. As dust settles, Aussie’s precipitous surge should be followed by a downfall. A Clinton win could send AUD to 0.7300 and strengthen the greenback. Before 0.7300, there are some other supports located at 0.7600 (50-day MA on the daily timeframe), 0.7490 (200-day MA on the daily timeframe). https://fxbazooka.com/img/articles/1...DDaily(21).png More: https://fxbazooka.com/analytics/11189 |
Re: Market news and trade recommendations by FBS
Crash course on the US voting system
11/4/2016 We’ve decided to fill you in on how the US votes are counted and how they aggregate a final result. Perhaps, this information can help you to form your own opinion of who might win the upcoming US presidential race. Americans don’t vote for their president directly; they vote for the electors who in turn support one of the candidates. Each state has a different number of electors depending on how money people live there. So, at the end of election day (November 8) there is a certain number of electors in each state who tend to support a Democratic or Republican nominee. But this number cannot be simply assigned to a certain candidate because all states abide the principle “the winner takes all”. For example, there are 10 electors assigned for Missouri; 6 of them vote for Democrats, 4 electors vote for Republicans. The winner is a Democratic nominee as he/she got the majority of votes, leaving the Republicans empty-handed. The same procedure happens in each state. There are some states who usually vote for Republican or Democratic nominee; there are also some states where the outcome is less certain. These are so-called swing states. In total, there are 538 electors. The candidate who has more than a half of these electors on his/her side wins the election. Once the electors have been elected, it becomes clear who will be the president. However, the president won’t be officially elected until December 18, 2016, when all the electors of electoral college cast their votes on behalf of their states. Then, the electoral votes are counted by Congress which announces who will reside in the White House for the next 4 years. You can find out how votes are distributed among the nominees; who is taking a lead in each state, according to the recent polls, by looking at the electoral map. https://fxbazooka.com/img/articles/11190/345.png More: https://fxbazooka.com/analytics/11190 |

US dollar: outlook for November 7-11
11/4/2016 American political factors will continue to be the main driver of the currency market. Investors and traders are waiting for the outcome of the presidential race. US dollar index (DXY) declined in the past week as opinion polls have tightened and the uncertainty surrounding the election is extremely high. The Federal Reserve, as expected, changed neither its monetary policy, not its statement. The probability of December rate hike is still high, about 70%. Nonfarm payrolls increased by 161K in October, a bit missing the forecast, but still being high enough for the Fed to raise tares this year. In addition, growth of the average hourly earnings accelerated. The US presidential election will take place on Tuesday, November 8. The vote will take place across 6 time zones. The first state projections based on exit polls will appear at 02:00 Metatrader time on Wednesday. The earliest possible time the election will be “called” for either candidate by US TV networks is 06:00 Metatrader time. If Hillary Clinton wins the US presidential election, the greenback will sharply strengthen as the Fed will be expected to proceed with December rate hike. DXY will aim at 100.00. In case of Trump’s victory the index will be vulnerable for a decline to 92.00 as the Fed will probably have to stay on hold for longer. https://fxbazooka.com/img/articles/1..._index(14).png More: https://fxbazooka.com/analytics/11191 |

GBP/USD: outlook for November 7-11
11/4/2016 Fundamental picture for the British pound has improved during the past week. The UK High Court ruled that British parliament – not the government – has the power to trigger Article 50 – a process of exit from the European Union. The UK government is going to appeal the verdict and a final ruling from the Supreme Court will be released in December. All in all, the start of Brexit may be delayed past March 2017. If it’s the parliament that will be in charge of Brexit negotiations, then ‘softer' Brexit becomes more likely as a majority of the members of parliament have a pro-EU stance and voted for remain. For a time being this will provide support to the British pound. Moreover, the Bank of England turned from dovish to the neutral stance. It increased 2017 forecasts for growth and inflation (2.7% CPI from 2.0% and 1.4% GDP from 0.8%). The BOE Governor Carney indicated that there were limits to his tolerance for inflation overshoot and that policy can respond to either direction. Carney also promised to stay in the Bank of England until 2019 improving the market’s sentiment about the sterling. The increase in pound provoked covering of short positions on sterling and allowed the currency to get higher. GBP/USD managed to rise above 5-month downtrend at 1.2325. Support is at this level, at 1.2100 and 1.2000. Hillary Clinton’s victory in the US presidential election will make the currency head down. Resistance lies at 1.2500, 1.2640 and 1.2740. If Trump wins, the pair will test higher levels. The UK economic calendar is quite empty, except for the manufacturing production on Tuesday. https://fxbazooka.com/img/articles/1...DDaily(23).png More: https://fxbazooka.com/analytics/11192 |

EUR/USD: outlook for November 7-11
11/4/2016 EUR/USD gained in the past week and came to resistance at 1.1120 (August/September lows, 50-day MA). The main bullish driver for the pair was the general weakness of the US dollar. Still, data from the euro area were mostly favorable. Manufacturing expanded in October at the fastest pace since early 2014, consumer prices rose at the fastest pace in more than 2 years, while the unemployment rate remained unchanged at the lowest level in more than 5 years. The European Central Bank (ECB) economic bulletin showed that the region’s economy should continue to expand, albeit at a moderate pace. If Donald Trump wins the US election, the euro may shoot up to 1.1200 with the next target at 1.1365 (August high). If Hillary Clinton wins, the US dollar will strengthen making the pair slide to 1.1000 and likely to 1.0940. Next week pay attention to German factory orders, euro zone’s Sentix investor confidence and retail sales on Monday. There will the Eurogroup meeting on Monday and ECOFIN meetings on Tuesday. The EU will release economic forecasts on Wednesday. French banks will be closed on Friday because of a holiday.

Morning brief for November 7, 2016
11/7/2016 EUR/USD fell below the 1.1100 level. The FBI said on Sunday that criminal charges were withdrawn against Clinton, defusing tensions over the presidential race two days before the U.S. election. Later today there will be Eurogroup meetings. European finance ministers will meet to discuss business. In the euro-zone, Greece is still struggling with its indebtedness. The wider issue of Brexit is also on the table, with the High Court ruling in favor of Parliament which could halt the process. Watch German factory orders at 2:00 am (Metatrader time) to know how well the eurozone’s leading economy performs. USD/JPY was one of the major performers of the session, having jumped to 104.2 from 103.4. GBP/USD dipped to around 1.24600 on the FBI announcement. Later today watch closely housing inflation data (Halifax HPI) which indicates the level of activity in the UK housing market. Aussie is trading sidelines along the 0.7670 level as there was no ground-shaking news from Australia. Keep an eye on the tentative Chinese trade balance which could influence Australian dollar as China is Australia’s largest trading partner. Kiwi edged down from 0.7345 to 0.7300 having touched 0.7360 mark. So, there were little changes for the session Oil prices rose with traders citing buying after the week of precipitous downfalls on the disappointing fundamental news. Brent crude oil futures are trading at about $46.00 per barrel having recovered from Friday’s slump to $45.00. News flow halted after FBI dropped charges against Clinton. We got some data releases from Australia and Japan, minutes of the Bank of Japan September meeting, but they look lusterless on the back of the upcoming US election More: [URLhttps://fxbazooka.com/analytics/11196]https://fxbazooka.com/analytics/11196[/URL] |

EUR/USD: "V-Top" led to "Breakaway Gap"
11/7/2016 https://fxbazooka.com/img/articles/1...016-EUR-H4.png There’s a “V-Top”, which led to the “Breakaway Gap” this morning. So, the market is likely going to decline towards the 55 Moving Average. Considering the previously formed a “Double Bottom”, bulls are likely going to move on. In this case, we should keep an eye on the nearest resistance at 1.1151 as a possible intraday target. https://fxbazooka.com/img/articles/1...016-EUR-H1.png We’ve got a consolidation on the one-hour chart. Therefore, bears are likely going to test the closest support at 1.1038 – 1.1025 during the day. If a pullback from this area happens, bulls will probably try to reach the next resistance at 1.1122.

How to trade gaps
11/7/2016 Gap is an area on a chart which is not filled with any technical objects, where no trades took place. Gaps usually occur in the interim of two sessions. If something important happens (data releases, significant political announcements), the market volatility increases and Bid/Ask spread widens resulting in a gap. The gaps often occur at the week’s opening if there were some big news during the weekend. ? There are 4 types of gaps – breakaway, exhaustion, common and continuation. Breakaway gaps usually warn us of imminent market reversals. They occur at the end of the price pattern and indicate the beginning of the new trend. Normally these gaps remain unclosed. Exhaustion gaps are also formed at the end of price patterns, but, contrary to the breakaway gaps, they appear when price makes the last effort to continue the trend and achieve new lows or highs. They have closed shortly afterward. Common gaps occur when the quotes move sidelines if prices are not included in any price patterns. Continuation gaps (runaway/measuring gap) occur in the middle of a price pattern and tell us that buyers or sellers want to form the pattern as soon as possible. https://fxbazooka.com/img/articles/1...llgaps_new.jpg How to trade ‘The gap is filled’ is an expression which is used when price moves back to the point where it had been before the gap. Such gap fillings occur very often. Many traders learned how to trade them and invented numerous strategies to make as much money as possible. You should follow the newscasts especially at the end of the week and search for the event that could produce trading discontinuities on the technical chart. Once you manage to do so, you will be well-positioned at the beginning of the week and prepared to trade on the gaps. If the price starts to fill a gap, it doesn’t cease until the gap is closed as there are no any significant resistances/supports that could impede the price actions. It’s also useful to see what amount of liquidity is on the market. If it’s a bank holiday in one of the major economy and liquidity is low, it may be sensible to buy when the market is trying to close a bearish gap and there’s no strong resistance ahead. Some traders prefer to fade gaps in the opposite direction once the price has set a high or low after the gap. For example, if a currency gaps up on some important event, skillful traders may fade the gap by shorting the currency. Sometimes traders might be willing to buy when the price reaches the previous support after the gap has been filled. There are many trading strategies that benefit from the “gap filling”. Before initiating any trade on gaps, you should define the type of the gap. Pay attention to the volume (high volume corresponds to the occurrence of breakaway gaps; low volume – to the exhaustion gaps). Good luck in your trades! More: https://fxbazooka.com/analytics/11202 |

GBP/USD: bears going to deliver correction
11/7/2016 https://fxbazooka.com/img/articles/1...016-GBP-H4.png The downtrend has been broken, but the price reached a resistance at 1.2621. Also, we’ve got a “V-Top”, which led to a local decline. So, bears are likely going to reach a support at 1.2330. If we see a pullback from this level, there’ll be an opportunity to have another test of the nearest resistance at 1.2621. https://fxbazooka.com/img/articles/1...016-GBP-H1.png There’re a “V-Top” pattern and a “Breakaway Gap”, so the market is likely going to decline towards a support at 1.2399 – 1.2371. If bears be stopped here, bulls will probably try to achieve a resistance at 1.2493. More: https://fxbazooka.com/analytics/11203 |

“What if analysis” of markets after presidential election
11/7/2016 As the most acrimonious US election is drawing to a close, financial markets keep fingers crossed for Hillary Clinton as she could maintain the status quo, whereas Trump’s victory would resemble the aftermath of the UK’s vote to leave the European Union. Controversy over Hillary Clinton’s e-mails could cause a fundamental shift in the presidential race and spread panic among investors. So, we decided to give you some prompts ahead of November 8 on what could happen with markets after the election. https://fxbazooka.com/img/articles/1...0%B8%D1%8F.jpg https://fxbazooka.com/img/articles/1...%B9%D0%B42.JPG https://fxbazooka.com/img/articles/1...%B9%D0%B43.JPG Written on the basis of Bloomberg's article More: https://fxbazooka.com/analytics/11134 |

EUR/USD: wave [ii] ended
11/7/2016 https://fxbazooka.com/img/articles/1...7140546001.png The price couldn’t find a lodgement above 6/8 Murrey Math Level (P=200). So, it seems like wave [ii] has formed a zigzag. In this case, bears are likely going to deliver a bearish impulse in wave (i) soon. https://fxbazooka.com/img/articles/1...7140546002.png As we can see on the one-hour chart, a bullish impulse in wave (c) finished last Friday. Therefore, there’s an opportunity to have a bearish impulse in wave (i) during the day. However, this wave count requires a confirmation, which could be a break of 6/8 MM Level.

EUR/USD: "Window" arrived
11/7/2016 https://fxbazooka.com/img/articles/1...11eurusdH4.png The price couldn’t find a lodgement above the upper “Window”, so there’s a very rare moment, when we don’t have any reversal pattern at all. Therefore, the market is likely going to test the nearest support level. If we have a pullback from it, bulls will probably try to deliver another upward impulse. As we can see on the Daily chart, we’ve got a pullback from the closest resistance level, but there isn’t any bearish pattern as well. So, the current decline is likely going to be just a local correction. https://fxbazooka.com/img/articles/1...11eurusdH1.png There’s a “Hanging Man”, which has been confirmed by the last “Window”. The 34 Moving Average is likely going to act as a resistance. If so, there’ll be an opportunity to have an achievement of the next support level. More: https://fxbazooka.com/analytics/11207 |

USD/JPY: bearish "Harami"
11/7/2016 https://fxbazooka.com/img/articles/1...11usdjpyH4.png We’ve got a bearish “Advance Block”, but this pattern hasn’t been confirmed yet. So, bulls are likely going to test the nearest resistance. If a pullback from this level arrives, there’ll be an opportunity to have a downward price movement. As we can see on the Daily chart, there isn’t any reversal pattern so far. In this case, we can have another test of the nearest “Window”. https://fxbazooka.com/img/articles/1...11usdjpyH1.png There’s a new “Window”, which arrived this morning. Also, we’ve got a bearish “Harami”, which has been confirmed enough. Therefore, it’s like that we’re going to see a flat in the short term. More: https://fxbazooka.com/analytics/11208 |

EUR/NZD falling inside minor impulse wave
11/7/2016 EUR/NZD falling inside minor impulse wave Next sell targets - 1.5050 and 1.5000 EUR/NZD has been falling in the last few trading sessions inside the minor impulse wave (iii) – which started earlier – when the pair reversed down from the resistance zone lying between the resistance level 1.5400, 100-day moving average and the 50% Fibonacci correction of the previous minor impulse wave (i) from the middle of October. EUR/NZD is likely to fall further in the active impulse waves (iii), 3 and (3) toward the next sell target at the support level 1.5050 (low of the previous impulse wave 1) - the breakout of which can lead to further losses toward 1.5000. https://fxbazooka.com/img/articles/1...PM_(1_day).png More: https://fxbazooka.com/analytics/11209 |

Gold: bulls are taking the situation under control
11/9/2016 On the daily chart of gold, there was a buying signal at $1,275. Quotes soared, allowing take profits and re-open longs from $1,306. If the "bulls" test the resistance at $1,360 and go back to the boundaries of the upward trading channel, the rally will continue towards $1,410 (target 161.8% in the "Crab" inverted pattern). https://fxbazooka.com/img/articles/1...9_08_34_53.png On the hourly chart of gold, targets 161.8% and 224% of the AB = CD show that the "bulls" can hold at $1,334 and $1,360.

It is flush time for gold
11/9/2016 Gold surged as Donald Trump won the US presidential race. Investors scooched their money out of risky assets rushing into safe harbors. The precious metal jumped to $1,337 (the highest level since September) as exit polls showed a Trump lead. Hedge funds started piling into the yellow metal ahead of the Election Day when Clinton’s email case resurfaced on October 28. Gold prices steered to the path of recovery having recouped their October losses. According to the Bloomberg survey, a Trump victory can send gold to $1,395 on the growing concerns over the Trump’s protectionist approach. He is going to “make America great again” by reshaping the US trade relationship with other world, to renegotiate NAFTA agreement and frustrate the trade with China. Distorted trade conditions should prop up the precious metal. Other commodities will suffer the most because of “Trumpian” antitrade sentiment. Technically, the current outlook for the gold is “bullish”, although there could be some rollbacks to the nearest supports at $1288 (50-day MA), $1283 (200-day MA) and $1277 (100-day MA) on the 4H timeframe, as prices outperformed after it became clear who will be the next US president. https://fxbazooka.com/img/articles/1...SDDaily(3).png More: https://fxbazooka.com/analytics/11231 |

Trump’s victory: what will happen to US dollar?
11/9/2016 Financial markets experienced a rough night on the news coming out of the United States. The Republican candidate Donald Trump unexpectedly won the key battleground states and was elected the US next president. What does it mean for the US dollar? Firstly, the probability of the Federal Reserve’s rate hike at December meeting has declined. According to Bloomberg, it fell from 82% below 50%. Trump’s victory means that the previous projections of the US central bank might not reflect the economic and pollical picture. As a result, the Fed may decide to wait longer before raising rates. Lower expectations of this year’s rate hike are negative for the greenback. US dollar index tested levels below 96.00. USD has managed to recover after the initial selloff. US dollar index returned to 97.25 as the currency had been oversold. Many investors and market players are currently at a loss trying to rethink their positions. https://fxbazooka.com/img/articles/11232/USD_i.png All in all, we see that the initial reaction of the market to the actual news that Trump had won wasn’t as great as some experts have feared. By the time it was announced that Trump has more than 270 out of 538 electoral votes (more than half), US dollar has already lost much and what came next, on the contrary, was a retracement to the upside. At this moment in time, new short positions on USD look risky. If we look farther ahead into future, we may see a positive picture for the US currency. The thing is that as Trump will try to “make America great again” he will likely increase spending. Fiscal stimulus should be positive for the US economic growth and, consequently, help the US dollar. At the same time, some propositions of Trump-like building a wall between the US and Mexico, labeling China as a currency manipulator and deporting immigrants may keep financial markets stressed and affect the real economic activity. Let’s have a look at the main currency pairs. EUR/USD rose to 1.1300 before returning to 1.1100. We currently see a huge spike to the upside. Daily MAs (1.1115, 1.1125 and 1.1180) are once again above the current price. A break above these lines will give more powers to the bulls. Support is at 1.1000 (pre-rally point) ahead of 1.0985 and 1.0955. https://fxbazooka.com/img/articles/1...DDaily(25).png USD/JPY has recovered more than 50% of today’s decline. There’s still a positive setup (50-MA went above 100-day MA) on the daily chart. At the same time, 104.15 and 104.70 should provide resistance. Levels below 102.80 will be more attractive for short positions. Note that Japanese authorities have declared readiness to intervene in currency markets with the safe-haven yen soaring. https://fxbazooka.com/img/articles/1...YDaily(23).png More: https://fxbazooka.com/analytics/11232 |

EUR/USD: "V-Top" stopped bullish rally
11/9/2016 https://fxbazooka.com/img/articles/1...016-EUR-H4.png The downtrend has been broken. However, we’ve got a “V-Top” pattern, so the price reached a support at 1.1087. So, the market is likely going to continued falling down towards the next support at 1.1059 – 1.1038. If a pullback from this area happens, there’ll be an opportunity to have another upward movement towards a resistance at 1.1151 – 1.1204. https://fxbazooka.com/img/articles/1...016-EUR-H1.png The price faced a support at 1.1087, so the pair is declining. The main target is a support near the uptrend. If we see a pullback from this level, bulls are likely going to achieve the nearest resistance at 1.1139 -1.1204.

GBP/USD: bears going to test last low
11/9/2016 https://fxbazooka.com/img/articles/1...016-GBP-H4.png We’ve got a consolidation under the 55 Moving Average. So, bears are likely going to reach a support at 1.2330, which could be a departure point for another upward movement. https://fxbazooka.com/img/articles/1...016-GBP-H1.png The price faced a resistance at 1.2556, so we’ve got a “V-Top” pattern. Therefore, the market is likely going to reach the 89 Moving Average. If a pullback from this line be on the table, there’ll be an option to have an upward movement in the direction of a resistance at 1.2493. More: https://fxbazooka.com/analytics/11234 |

Trump’s victory: what will happen with interest rates, US economy and financial markets
11/9/2016 Donald Trump won the US presidential elections having avenged mass media for their numerous insults. The Republicans retained the power of both chambers in the US Parliament which means that it will be easier for Trump to implement his policies if we discard the fact that some of the future congressmen don’t support all his policies. Trump’s presidency heralds a new era for America. We suggest you dip into the future and try to predict what happen with the US economy, interest rates, and markets in Trump’s era. US economy: Analysts from Danske Banks don’t expect any significant changes for the US economy in the short-run. According to their forecasts, the US economy will continue to grow at its moderate pace in the nearest future. As soon as more protectionism and tougher immigration policy become the reality, the US economic growth can slow down. The consequences of trade diversion and labor distortions should offset the positive effects of less regulation and fiscal stimulus. Interest rate: in the course of the election campaign Trump criticized the Fed’s policy of low-interest rates. He was threatening to remove “dovish” Janet Yellen from the post of the Fed’s chair in 2018. If the fiscal stimulus will be introduced in 2017, the Fed might be willing to raise rates. Alternatively, if the negative effect of the distorted trade relations and tougher immigration policy dominates the effect of fiscal boost, the Fed will abstain from tightening. The probability of a rate hike at the Fed’s upcoming meeting in December decreased, but didn’t disappear. Financial markets can recover before the meeting having digested the US election outcome, while the state of the US economy shouldn’t go through big changes in such small period of time. By that time, Trump still won’t be proclaimed as the US president officially (so, he won’t get a chance to introduce new policies). Markets: the immediate reaction of financial markets won’t extrapolate to the near-term future. Financial markets should return to their pre-election trends. In the long-run, markets will be scrutinizing further Trump’s actions as a president to get ideas on what will happen with trade and how it will influence the global economy.

This resistance zone also earlier reversed the previous intermediate ABC correction (2), as can be seen from the daily USD/JPY chart below.

The upward reversal from the aforementioned support zone continues the active C-wave of the intermediate ABC correction (B) from May.
