DAX hit our buying opportunity at 12900/890

Daily Forecast - 17 November 2017

Dax December contract

EuroStoxx bottomed exactly at 3557/60 on the pull back from strong resistance at 3571/74. Further gains test stronger resistance at 3584/87 & we should really struggle here. Watch for a high for the day...but a break higher is therefore a good buy signal & puts bulls firmly back in control for 3597/99 then 3607/10.

First support at 3560/57 of course & a low for the day certainly possible. Longs need stops below 3550 for a test of strong support at 3525/20. Remember even stronger support at 3490/85 so be prepared to average in to longs down here. A good chance the bull trend will resume from here.

Eurostoxx

Ftse December Contract

FTSE must beat the 100 day moving average at 7385/80 to move back in control. Above 7400 signals further gains to 7420/25. If we continue higher look for 7450 & quite strong resistance at 7460/70 which may see a high for the bounce in to the weekend.

Longs need stops below 7330. An unexpected break below 7320 however is a sell signal initially targeting 7285/80.

FTSE

S&P December Contract

Emini S&P rockets to 2589.50, just below the 2592/2594.50 all time high. Above 2595/97 targets 2603.

Failure to beat the 2592/2594.50 all time high targets 2580 before support at 2576/74 which could hold the downside. Longs need stops below 2569. A break lower targets 2565/64 but look for an excellent buying opportunity at 2555/53. Stop below 2548. An unexpected break lower however targets strong trend line support at 2542/40 & a good chance of a bounce from here, perhaps a low for the correction (would be about 2%).

SP500

Dax December Contract

Dax hit our buying opportunity at 12900/890 as predicted with longs held above 12840. A bullish candle followed by a break away gap helps support my idea that the correction is over. We beat 13005/015 to target strong resistance at 13120/140 but not quite there yet (although we were not expected to beat this yesterday). We should struggle here today but shorts are now too risky with a greater chance of a break higher to 13180/190 & 13235/245. Expect strong resistance at 13260/270. Shorts need stops above 13310.

First support at 13020/13000 could hold the downside but below here risks a slide to our buying opportunity at 12900/890. An unexpected break below 12840 however targets important support at 12740/720 for a buying opportunity with stops below 12670.

EUR/USD flirts with daily highs, retargets 1.1900

EUR/USD regains upside traction, returning to the 1.1880 zone and refocusing its attention to the key 1.1900 barrier. The pair’s slight gains comes against the backdrop of a humble decline in the US Dollar as investors continue to assess the latest US CPI readings and the potential Fed’s rate path.

GBP/USD remains well bid around 1.3650

GBP/USD maintains its upside momentum in place, hovering around daily highs near 1.3650 and setting aside part of the recent three-day drop. Cable’s improved sentiment comes on the back of the Greenback’s  irresolute price action, while recent hawkish comments from the BoE’s Pill also collaborate with the uptick.

Gold clings to gains just above $5,000/oz

Gold is reclaiming part of the ground lost on Wednesday’s marked decline, as bargain-hunters keep piling up and lifting prices past the key $5,000 per troy ounce. The precious metal’s move higher is also underpinned by the slight pullback in the US Dollar and declining US Treasury yields across the curve.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP in choppy price action, weighed down by falling institutional interest 

Bitcoin's upside remains largely constrained amid weak technicals and declining institutional interest. Ethereum trades sideways above $1,900 support with the upside capped below $2,000 amid ETF outflows.

Week ahead – Data blitz, Fed Minutes and RBNZ decision in the spotlight

US GDP and PCE inflation are main highlights, plus the Fed minutes. UK and Japan have busy calendars too with focus on CPI. Flash PMIs for February will also be doing the rounds. RBNZ meets, is unlikely to follow RBA’s hawkish path.

Ripple Price Forecast: XRP potential bottom could be in sight

Ripple edges up above the intraday low of $1.35 at the time of writing on Friday amid mixed price actions across the crypto market. The remittance token failed to hold support at $1.40 the previous day, reflecting risk-off sentiment amid a decline in retail and institutional sentiment.
