    LiteForex WTI Crude Oil: price consolidates

    Current trend

    Today the price of WTI is trading near the level of 47.60, to where it corrected after the publication of the API Weekly Crude Oil Stock data.

    The report demonstrated another decline in reserves though smaller than in the previous two weeks (only for 3.6 million barrels). The instrument is not able to begin its growth even though there are supply disruptions from the Sharara oil field in Libya and a decision of one of the world’s largest miners BHP Billiton to sell its US shale assets due to their underperformance. Markets have paused as investors are waiting for the publication of the EIA Crude Oil Stock Change tonight that could also show a smaller decline in reserves, which might still pressure the instrument.

    Support and resistance

    The price fell below the middle MA of Bollinger Bands and could continue falling towards 47.10 (38.2% Fibonacci correction) and 46.15 (50% correction). Crucial for Bulls seems to be the level of 47.80 (middle MA of Bollinger Bands), a breakout of which would lead to a growth towards a cluster of 23.6% corrections (48.40 and 49.00). Technical indicators do not give a clear signal representing an uncertainty of the market before the news release. The Stochastic is directed down, Bollinger bands up while MACD histogram is near the zero line and its volumes are insignificant.

    Support levels: 47.10, 46.15, 45.20.
    Resistance levels: 47.80, 48.40, 49.00.

    Trading tips

    Short positions can be opened from the level of 47.10 with the target at 46.15 and stop-loss at 47.50.
    Long positions can be opened after the price consolidation above the level of 47.80 with targets at 48.40, 49.00 and stop-loss at 47.40.

    LiteForex XAG/USD: silver keeps rising

    Current dynamics

    Silver is moderately growing during the morning session on August 28th, trading in close proximity to local highs, updated on August 18th. The instrument was supported by weak US currency, which was under pressure from disappointing results of the speech of the head of the Fed, Janet Yellen, at the annual symposium in Jackson Hole.
    Recall that investors were waiting for comments on the prospects for monetary policy. In particular, traders were interested in the reduction of the Fed's balance sheet, which the regulator representatives themselves talked about so much. Instead, Yellen confined herself to general issues on financial stability and regulation in the banking sector.

    On Monday, the only published indicators would be the ones of business activity in the industrial sphere of the Dallas Fed in August. Against this background, we can expect that the pair will maintain its upward mood and come close to the previous local highs.

    Support and resistance

    The indicator "Bollinger bands" on the daily chart is slightly growing, and can still turn sideways. The price range is narrowing, reflecting the multidirectional nature of trading in recent days.
    The MACD indicator keeps a weak buy signal (the histogram is located above the signal line).

    Oscillator Stochastic is growing, approaching the border of the overbought area.
    Resistance levels: 17.16 (local maximum), 17.27 (maximum of August 18), 17.38.
    Support levels: 17.00, 16.89, 16.73 (minimum of August 25), 16.62, 16.48.

    Trading tips

    To open long positions, one can rely on a breakdown of level 17.16, provided that the technical indicators do not contradict the development of the "bullish" trend. Take-profit – 17.38. Stop loss is at 17.00. Term of realization: 2 days.
    If the level of 17.16 turns out to be an insurmountable obstacle for the bulls, it is worth considering the possibility of sales with a target in the area of 16.73. Stop loss – 17.30-17.80. Term of realization: 2-3 days.

    Current trend

    US currency has been under pressure against the Japanese yen during the morning session on August 29 and has already updated local minimums since mid-April.

    LiteForex EUR/USD: the correction can end

    Current trend

    On Wednesday the pair was correcting and now has reached the level of 1.1865.
    The US currency growth is due to relative reduction of tense on the Korean peninsula and to positive economic data publication. The new North Korea missile launch didn’t lead to military USA response, moreover, Secretary of Defense James Mattis noted that the diplomatic possibilities of the conflict resolution are not exhausted, which resulted in outflow of investors from shelter assets. In addition, the USD was supported by preliminary USA GDP data (in the second quarter its growth exceeded the expectations and reached the level of 0.3%) and August ADP Non-Farm Employment Change data (instead of expected fall the indicator grew from 201K to 237K).

    At the moment the falling of the pair slowed, and it’s trading around 1.1890–1.1870. Investors are waiting for the EU Consumer Price Index publication, which is very important before the ECB meeting next week. The index is expected to grow from 1.3% to 1.4%, which can lead to the reversal of the price and the beginning of the new growth of EUR.

    Support and resistance

    Technically the pair is tending to the middle line of Bollinger Bands at the level of 1.1800, and after breakdown can go lower, to the area of 1.1720 (Murray ) and 1.1600 (Murray , Fibonacci correction 23.6%). The downward movement will develop in case of negative reaction of the market to the EU inflation data. The indicators confirm the possibility: Stochastic has reversed downwards, MACD histogram is decreasing in the positive zone.

    The upward trend will develop after the price is set above the level of 1.1960 (Murray ). In this case it can grow to the area of 1.2085 (Murray ) and 1.2200 (Murray ).

    Support levels: 1.1840, 1.1800, 1.1720, 1.1600.
    Resistance levels: 1.1960, 1.2085, 1.2200.

    Trading tips

    Short positions can be opened below the level of 1.1840 with the targets at 1.1800, 1.1720, 1.1600 and stop loss at 1.1880.
    Long positions can be opened above the level of 1.1960 or after the reversal near the level of 1.1800 with the targets at 1.2085, 1.2200 and stop loss 1.1920 and 1.1770.

    LiteForex NZD/USD: New Zealand dollar under pressure

    Current trend

    NZD reduced considerably against the US currency during trading on Thursday, August 31, marking a new local minimum since June 6. However, with the release of uncertain macroeconomic statistics from the USA the investor's sentiment has changed, and the instrument managed to regain the majority of lost positions by the closing of the daily session.

    The reason for negative NZD dynamics was weak statistics from New Zealand. Namely, business optimism index by RBNZ dropped from 19.4 to 18.3 points in August. During the morning session on September 1 the pair received moderate support from Chinese data. Manufacturing PMI Caixin grew from 51.1 to 51.6 points in August against the forecast of reduction to 50.9 points. Other activities remain low as the market is waiting for the US labor market report for August.

    Support and resistance

    Bollinger Bands in D1 chart demonstrate decrease. The price range is moderately widening. MACD still preserves a stable downward trend. Stochastic is reducing but is located close to the border with the oversold area.
    Resistance levels: 0.7190, 0.7222, 0.7257, 0.7297, 0.7335.
    Support levels: 0.7160, 0.7130, 0.7101.

    Trading tips

    A reversal near the level of 0.7190 with further breakdown of 0.7160 may indicate the continuation of sales. In this case the target of the "bears" may be located around 0.7100. The period of implementation is 2 days.

    Long positions may be opened from the level of 0.7190 with targets at 0.7257 or 0.7297 and stop-loss at 0.7130. The period of implementation is 2-3 days.

    LiteForex EUR/USD: the market is waiting for comments from FOMC members

    Current trend

    The pair started the week with growth to 1.1920 after North Korea carried out nuclear missiles testing, and the USA replied with tough rhetoric. However, by now the price has corrected to 1.1880 (middle line of Bollinger Bands at H4).

    Today the most important part of the releases is traditional financial statistics. Services PMIs of Germany and Eurozone for August failed to show material changes or cause considerable market reaction. The indicator for Germany grew from 53.4 to 53.5 points, and for Eurozone reduced from 54.9 to 54.7 points. The statistics on the volume of retail sales in Eurozone was mixed.

    Technically, the pair is trading within the upper Bollinger Band between 1.1840 (Murrey level ) and 1.1962 (Murrey level ) and may continue moving in it as the investors are not likely to take risks before the ECB meeting scheduled for Thursday. In case of breakdown of the level of 1.1840 and the middle line of Bollinger Bands the fall may continue to 1.1720 (Murrey level ) and 1.1660 (lower line of Bollinger Bands). Otherwise the price may go up to the upper border of the range at 1.1962and in case of its breakout go further to 1.2085 (Murrey level ). Indicator show decrease: Stochastic is directed downwards, and MACD histogram is reducing in the positive zone.

    Support levels: 1.1840, 1.1800, 1.1720, 1.1660.
    Resistance levels: 1.1962, 1.2085, 1.2200.

    Trading tips

    In the current situation short positions should be opened below the level of 1.1840 and the middle line of Bollinger Bands with targets at 1.1720, 1.1660 and stop-loss at 1.1880.
    Long positions should be opened above 1.1900 or in case of reversal at 1.1840 with targets at 1.1962, 1.2085 and stop-loss at 1.1870 and 1.1800.
