Forex Analysis & Reviews: Forecast for USD/JPY on May 11, 2021

USD/JPY
The US dollar, despite losses against the European currencies, manages to hold out against the yen. Yesterday it grew by 14 points. There are about 40 points left before the price reaches the most important level of 109.26, and after that the 110.44 level is just ahead of us. The Marlin oscillator is once again trying to attack the border of the growing trend zone.



The price lingered for a bit on the MACD indicator line on the four-hour chart. Marlin is also not in the growth area, the price is expected to simultaneously exit above the MACD line and Marlin to enter the zone of positive values. We are waiting for growth.

Forex Analysis & Reviews: Technical Analysis of ETH/USD for May 13, 2021



Crypto Industry News:
During the first 7 days from the introduction of Ethereum Futures to the market by CME, the value of concluded contracts exceeded USD 23 million. According to a recent OKEx Insights report, "partial data for the week ending April 25 shows weekly volumes hit an all-time high of $ 353 million - over 166% more than the previous week's $ 132.57 million.

"Moreover, the number of contracts opened in the CME Ether Futures market also increased at a similar pace. The aforementioned report showed in this respect that:

"During the first month of trading, ETH Futures had an average Open Interest of $ 61.17 million. March data showed a significant spike in activity with average Open Interest peaked at $ 101.67 million.

In fact, since April 21, OI figures have risen to $ 205.6 million, reflecting the size of institutional measures that hit the Ethereum market in the last few months.

According to OKEx Insights, one of the main factors behind this was the normalization of mainstream cryptocurrency investing. The authors of the report argue that it was a byproduct of MicroStrategy, MassMutual and Tesla's entry into the cryptocurrency space, and each of these companies' actions legitimized a sector that had long struggled for Wall Street's attention.

Technical Market Outlook:
The ETH/USD pair has tested the key short-term technical support located at the level of $3,596 and bounced more than 50% already. The next local target for bulls is the 61% Fibonacci retracement located at the level of $4,074. If this retracement level is clearly violated, then bulls will likely test the ATH again (located at $4,369). The momentum is strong and positive, so it supports the bullish outlook for ETH.

Weekly Pivot Points:
WR3 - $4,545
WR2 - $4,714
WR1 - $4,394
Weekly Pivot - $3,656
WS1 - $3,369
WS2 - $2,577
WS3 - $2,290

Trading Recommendations:
The longer term up trend on the Ethereum continues despite the local counter-trend corrections. The next long term target for ETH/USD is seen at the level of $5,000. The key long term technical support is seen at the level of $3,881, so only a weekly candle close below this level will invalidate the bullish scenario.

Forex Analysis & Reviews: Elliott wave analysis of EUR/JPY for May 17, 2021



EUR/JPY is in the final leg higher to the 133.66 target from where we should expect a correction in wave 4/ towards at least 130.82 and likely even closer to the 38.2% corrective target seen at 129.06. In the short term, a break below minor support at 132.00 will indicate that wave 3/ is complete and wave 4/ lower to support in the 129.06 - 130.82 area is in motion before rising higher again in wave 5/ towards 137.19.

Trading recommendation:
Sell long positions in EUR/JPY near 133.66 or upon a break below 132.00 and look for a new buying opportunity near 129.06

Forex Analysis & Reviews: Forecast for EUR/USD on May 18, 2021



EUR/USD
The euro is still hesitant to turn around. Now it clearly shows an intention to form a double divergence with the Marlin oscillator. The upward potential is up to the upper border of the price channel around 1.2238. The level may not be reached.

The current situation is completely upward on the four-hour scale - the price is rising above the balance and MACD indicator lines, the signal line of the Marlin oscillator turned upward from the zero line (arrow). Exit of the price above 1.2177 will mark the beginning of the formation of a double divergence, moving under the MACD line (1.2102) will indicate a downward trend reversal.

Forex Analysis & Reviews: Forecast for GBP/USD on May 19, 2021

GBP/USD
The pound gained 54 points on Tuesday. Trading volumes were at the level of the last two days and were generally average for the month. The growth probably occurred mainly due to the closing of moderate positions in terms of volume. On the daily chart, a price divergence is formed with the Marlin oscillator. The oscillator is probably preparing to leave the area from its own rising channel.



The divergence looks stronger and almost complete on the four-hour chart. With the price moving below the MACD line, around the level of 1.4103 (May 11 low), the price will move to 1.4004, to the May 13 low.

Forex Analysis & Reviews: Forecast for USD/JPY on May 21, 2021

USD/JPY
Yesterday, the dollar lost 44 points against the yen, but this day may be the last in the current stage of suppressing the pair's growth. Equity markets rose well yesterday (S& P 500 1.06%), this morning, the dollar shows a technical recovery to strengthen.



On the daily chart of the USD/JPY pair, the Marlin oscillator turns to the upside from the zero (neutral) line. Sure. These are only signs that the pair would rise. First of all, the price should rise above the strong resistance at 109.37. In this case, the 109.97 target is open, to which the MACD line is aiming for, then it may continue to rise to the area where two lines of price channels at 110.50 intersect.



On the four-hour chart, the only weak sign of growth is the Marlin Oscillator, which is turning up, but is still in the negative area. The MACD line coincides with the technical price level of 109.37, this increases the level's significance and at the same time its strength. We are waiting for the development of events.

Forex Analysis & Reviews: Forecast for EUR/USD on May 24, 2021


EUR/USD The euro decided to make a reversal. So far, this reversal consists of an attack on support at 1.2170 that is not very confident. But the level is strong, it has acted as support and resistance several times since December last year.



The Marlin oscillator is decreasing on a daily basis, bracing for an attack on the border of the bears' territory, and according to its indication, the probability of the price successfully breaking through the indicated level is high. The target of the subsequent movement is the 1.1985-1.2040 range, defined by the May low and the MACD line.



Marlin is in the negative area on the H4 chart, the price is consolidating before the support of the actual price level at 1.2170 as well as the MACD line. Today is a holiday in Germany, Canada and Switzerland, and the US will not report any important reports, so we are waiting for the continuation of consolidation. Tomorrow, IFO indices will be released in Germany, as well as reports on US home prices, new home sales, and consumer confidence. We are waiting for the increased dynamics of the euro.

Forex Analysis & Reviews: Forecast for EUR/USD on May 25, 2021

EUR/USD
The consolidation we expected yesterday acquires an increased range, the price returns to the peaks on May 19 and 21. Most likely, the price will not be allowed to rise above these highs by the price channel line and double divergence with the Marlin oscillator. Until this exit has taken place, the main scenario is the euro reversal towards the departure under the May low of 1.1985.



The price is above the balance indicator lines and the MACD on the four-hour chart, while the Marlin oscillator has moved into the growth area. We don't expect Tuesday to be an easy day for the dollar, the euro, most likely, will stay above 1.2170 for another day.
