Trend: Down since Sep 2013.
Mode: Trending down.

Review of previous Analysis:

Trading recommendation – Price did not reach selling level
S/R Levels – S level was correct at 79, price moving up near R at 80-80.2
Direction View - Correct

Much expected pullback took place yesterday and prices moved as expected.

Cycle Analysis: Daily major cycle is trending down and upside is very difficult and more downside probabilities are very high. Pullback may continue today as short term cycles are rising.
• Sell Signal: Since cycles are on downside and down trending has been confirmed, so more downside may be expected. A clear sell signals may take 1-2 days as short term cycles have yet to peak.
• Buy Signal: Buying is risky in a trending down market, even if short term cycles may cause a rise in price.

Conventional Technical Analysis:

Bearish setups –
1. Price made a new low on 25th Oct indicating trend is still down
2. Price is below the last support of the speed resistance lines
3. Price is below 30 DMA
4. Price is moving in a downward channel and is yet to come out of it

Bullish setups –
1. Price is near support of 79.
2. Momentum is rising
3. Price has crossed above 7 DMA indicating short term rise
4. Price is near 38.2% level and if it crosses above, price may reach 80-80.2

Price is pulling back and may rise to near 80-80.2 on crossing above 79.77. Strong resistance is indicated at 80-80.2 range and all the bullish factors may take price up to this level only beyond which it is difficult for price to rise.

Key S/R Levels:
• Resistance Levels: 79.77 - 80.2 - 80.45 – 81
• Support Levels: 79 – 78.5 - 77

Risk: Price may rise quickly to near 80.2 against its downtrend.

Recommendation: Sell on rise near 80 and hold for 79.77/79.5. Avoid long positions.

Review of previous Analysis:

Trading recommendation – Not triggered
S/R Levels – Market was flat
Direction View - Market was flat

Cycle Analysis: Daily major cycle is now trending down and upside is very difficult and more downside probabilities are very high. A minor cycle has reached near its bottom and prices can bounce today along with it. Prices can see 82 only if they cross major hurdles of 80.17 - 80.45 - 80.9. Below 79.7, DX can drop to 79 as immediate level.
• Sell Signal: Since cycles are on downside and down trending has been confirmed, so more downside may be expected. Sell signals may take few days as short term cycle is on rise from bottom.
• Buy Signal: Pullback can be expected today.

Conventional Technical Analysis:

Bearish setups –
1. Price is below 38.2% retracement of 80.06
2. Price is below the last support of the speed resistance lines
3. Price failed to close above peak of 80.69 (point ‘a’ closing price) at its next peak of point ‘c’.
4. Price made a new low on 17th Oct indicating trend is still down
Bullish setups –
1. The momentum indicator (bottom panel), had given a clear re-accumulation buy signal at bottom point ‘b’, where the indicator had a higher bottom compared to its previous bottom. The re-accumulation is shown by green rising arrow in indicator panel and blue declining arrow in price plot. But there are also indications that the effect of this bullish signal is already over.

Though there are more bearish indications, but since a minor cycle is at bottom that can cause a bounce, caution should be adopted in trading. If price remains below 80, then expect more downside to 79. Avoid long positions.

Key S/R Levels:
• Resistance Levels: 80.2 - 80.45– 80.9– 81 – 81.2 – 82 – 82.8
• Support Levels: 79 – 78.5 - 77

Risk: Price may continue to rise if it strongly crosses above its first resistance level against its downtrend.

Recommendation: More indications are for a downside, especially if prices remain below 80. Sell on rise near 80.1 with SL 80.21 and targets 79.6/79.

Untitled Document Trend, Momentum, and S/R Levels

Trend: Down since Sep 2013.
Mode: Cyclic, but one Cycle Indicator has indicated beginning of down trending prices which has to be confirmed by a daily major cycle.
Review of Yesterday’s Analysis:
Trading recommendation – Correct
S/R Levels – 100% Accurate
Direction View - Correct
Yesterday it was mentioned that a bounce back can be expected as a minor cycle starts moving up – and exactly that happened. Recommendation was “Sell on rise near 80.7/8 with SL 80.9 and targets 80.45/80.34/80”, DX made a high of exactly 80.8 and a low of exactly 80.34!
Cycle Analysis: Prices have gone above 80.45 crucial level riding on a minor cycle. It may continue moving up today. Daily frequency major cycle unexpectedly turned up yesterday before reaching its bottom. Prices can see 81.5/82 after crossing major hurdle of 80.76/86 and they need to remain above 80.45.
• Sell Signal: Prices are expected to move up as both minor and major cycles are moving up. Avoid short selling today.
• Buy Signal: Pullback can be expected today.
Conventional Technical Analysis:
Bearish setups –
1. Price is below 61.8% retracement of 81.23
2. Price is below the last support of the speed resistance lines
3. Price failed to close above peak of 80.69 (point ‘a’ closing price) at its next peak of point ‘c’.
Bullish setups –
1. The momentum indicator (bottom panel), had given a clear re-accumulation buy signal at bottom point ‘b’, where the indicator had a higher bottom compared to its previous bottom. The re-accumulation is shown by green rising arrow in indicator panel and blue declining arrow in price plot.
There are mixed indications, but since cycles are indicating a pullback and there is also a chance of breaching support of 80.45. There is high risk of strong moves on any sides. 80.45 is a crucial level and if price go below this level, further downside is very much possible.
Key S/R Levels:
• Resistance Levels: 80.76 – 80.86 – 81 – 81.2 – 82 – 82.8
• Support Levels: 80.45 – 80.34 – 79.98 – 79.85 – 79 – 77
Risk: There can be breakout spike above 80.86 or a downside spike below 80.45.
Recommendation: Avoid trading.

Daily View - Dollar Index 14 Oct, 13



Trend: Down since Sep 2013.
Mode: Cyclic, but one Cycle Indicator has indicated beginning of down trending prices which has to be confirmed by a daily major cycle.

Cycle Analysis: There is lack of clarity in cycles. All cycles are not synchronous. The major daily cycle is falling and there is a short term peak. Since there are indications of a down trending and prices are also following the downside of major cycle, therefore more downside can be expected in next few days. 79.8 is possible in few days. If the major cycle unexpectedly turns up, prices can see 82 after crossing major hurdle of 80.76/86.
  • Sell Signal: Since cycles are on downside and there is warning of down trending, plus there is a short cycle peak, so more downside may be expected. Sell signals can be expected on a rise near 80.7.
  • Buy Signal: Short term trend is down and there is an early warning of a down trending market, so buying should be avoided.

Conventional Technical Analysis:
Bearish setups –
  • Price is below 61.8% retracement of 81.23
  • Price is below the last support of the speed resistance lines
  • Price failed to close above peak of 80.69 (point ‘a’ closing price) at its next peak of point ‘c’.

Bullish setups –
  • The momentum indicator (bottom panel), had given a clear re-accumulation buy signal at bottom point ‘b’, where the indicator had a higher bottom compared to its previous bottom. The re-accumulation is shown by green rising arrow in indicator panel and blue declining arrow in price plot. But there are also indications that the effect of this bullish signal is already over. The prices had been rising after ‘b’ for a week, and they even went above the peak of ‘a’ in intraday rally.

Though there are more bearish indications, but since momentum is indicating probability of a rise so caution should be adopted in trading. One can still take chances and sell on rise near 80.7/8 with SL at 80.9. There is a crucial support at 80.45 and if price remains below this level, further downside is very much possible.

Key S/R Levels:
·         Resistance Levels: 80.76 – 80.86 – 81 – 81.2 – 82 – 82.8
·         Support Levels: 80.45 – 80.34 – 79.98 – 79.85 – 79 – 77

Risk: There can be breakout spike above 80.86 or a downside spike below 80.45.


Recommendation: More indications are for a downside, especially if prices remain below 80.45. Sell on rise near 80.7/8 with SL 80.9 and targets 80.45/80.34/80.

Long Term View - Dollar Index 14 Oct, 13

Long Term View – Dollar Index


Long Term Trend: Consolidating since 2008, but after 2011 it has been in up trend.
Mode: Cyclic, but one Cycle Indicator has indicated beginning of down trending prices which has to be confirmed by major cycles.

Cycle Analysis: There are two long cycles currently going on, one started from E, and other from G. Both cycles peaked at H and are now in downside. Shorter cycle will bottom out in Jan 2014 and longer one in Sep 2014. There are some short term cycles which are near their bottom and can cause a pullback. So there is neither a clear buy situation, nor a sell situation. But since there are indications of a down trending and prices are also following the downside of major cycles, therefore more downside should be expected. 77 seems to be possible by the end of this year.
  •          Sell Signal: Last long term Sell signal was in June 2013. Since cycles are on downside and there is warning of down trending, Sell signals can be expected on a rise.
  •          Buy Signal: Wait for a long term Buy signal till downside of cycles end or if there is an unexpected upward reversal of major cycle. Since there is an early warning of a down trending market, buying should be avoided.

Conventional Technical Analysis: There are three indications of a further downside –
  1.        Price has broken Fibonacci 50% support level
  2.        Price has broken last support of the speed resistance lines
  3.        The momentum indicator (bottom panel), had given a clear redistribution sell signal at H peak, where the indicator had a lower peak compared to its previous peak.

All these three are bearish setups, indicating more downside till its next support.

Key S/R Levels: (applicable till Dec 2014)
  •          Resistance Levels: 81.2 – 82 – 82.8 – 83.5 -85
  •          Support Levels: 79 – 77 – 76 – 70
  •          Hidden Levels (Important S/R levels which cannot be identified by traditional tools): Hidden resistance levels are shown by two red lines, and support levels are shown by two green lines in the chart.

Risk: Major cycle may turn up before reaching its bottom, or prices may start following upside of some minor cycle which may increase the threat further if cyclic market becomes up trending. In terms of price levels, a breakout above 81.2 may take prices to the next resistance level.

Recommendation: Cycle analysis as well as conventional technical analysis; both are indicating more downside for Dollar Index hence long term entry should be avoided. Short selling opportunity may arise on a rise. Investors should be alert for upside risk as mentioned above.

DOLLAR INDEX: The trend is up though the price cycle is moving down. Below 79.7, it may fall further up to 76/75.5. Long term exit signal was generated in May 2013 near 84. There is no clear cycle bottom. If price remain above 80, it may reach 83 in 1-2 months.

Long Term Views - Update: 4-Oct-13

LONG TERM VIEWS - Update: 4-Oct-13

COMMODITIES:
=============

GOLD (MCX): Trend is up but price is correcting and this fall may continue till Oct-Nov. Investors should wait till a clear cycle bottom is formed. Price will take support at 28800, below which it can fall to 26000, 23000. If the price does not rise from current correction, it will turn into a down trend.

SILVER (MCX): It is in long term uptrend and intermediate term downtrend. Below 30000, the long term uptrend will end. Its current upward cycle started in Jun from a low of 38536. The current upward cycle is expected to last at least till Jan 2014. But if it falls below 47000, this upward cycle may end. Currently price is correcting and this phase may last till September to December. Last investment buying signal was in Jun 2013. Investors should wait for a buying signal.

COPPER (MCX): It is in long term as well as intermediate term uptrend. Below 380, the intermediate term uptrend will end. Its current upward cycle started in April 2013 from a low of 367. The current upward cycle is expected to last at least till Jan 2014. But if it falls below 420, this upward cycle may end. Currently price is correcting and this phase may last till September to December. Investors should wait for a buying signal.


EQUITIES:
==========

Its current cycle started up in Dec 2011 from a low of 4538. Currently the cycle is in downward move. The current downward cycle is expected to last till Oct-Dec 2013. Currently price is pulling back following upward swing of a short term cycle. Investors should wait for a buying signal.

HANGSENG: Trend is up but more upside seems limited.

NIKKEI: Since Nov 2012 it was trending up untill Mar 2013. Since then it has been consolidating at higher levels. Its up trending has finished and more upside seems difficult. Price is moving in cyclic form and making new high (above 15942.6) would be difficult unless price again starts trending up. Current cycle is at its peak and its down cycle has a length of about two years (till 2015). Prices are also following a short term cycle which reversed from its top last month and may take about a month to reach its bottom.


CURRENCIES:
==============

DOLLAR INDEX: The trend is up though the price cycle is moving down. Below 79.7, it may fall further up to 76/75.5.

EURUSD: It has started trending up and there is no indication of how long this uptrend may continue. Avoid short selling.

JPYUSD: After falling big from 1.3 to below 1, it is now consolidating and the major cycle is moving up from bottom. Upward cycle may continue till Mar 2014.
