Summary
The analysis reveals an upward trend in the exchange rate. The recent drop was expected due to overbought conditions, with prices now recovering towards the resistance level at 163.25. The Fibonacci analysis indicates significant support levels at 157.35, while resistance is identified at 162.00. Technical indicators suggest that it is too early to place safe buy orders.
Trend Determination
The direction of the exchange rate in recent times is depicted by the primary upward trend channel that has formed, with price movements occurring in the middle zone. The channel's range is approximately 1200 pips, with the price distance from the upper resistance limit being 600 pips and from the lower limit 600 pips.
In a shorter time frame, a secondary upward trend channel is observed. The price trajectory is upward, with movements recorded in the lower zone of the trend channel. The secondary channel's range is 525 pips, with the price distance from the upper resistance limit being 485 pips and from the lower limit 40 pips.
The recent drop in the exchange rate was expected as prices had reached overbought levels. This increases the likelihood of the price moving higher. The first resistance level is set at 163.25, and the support level is at 152.60.
Fibonacci Support and Resistance Levels
Fibonacci Retracement
The Fibonacci Retracement analysis shows that the recent downtrend was a corrective move. Specifically, the exchange rate halted at 157.35 and is now moving upwards. This point is a significant support level, and its potential breach could start a downward trajectory. Additional support levels are observed at 156.20 and lower at 154.74.
Currently, there is no clear confirmation for future price rises, as movements between 157.35 and 158.96 make drawing conclusions difficult. Placing trades while the exchange rate moves within these prices carries very high risk. Safer trading positions appear to be above 159.96 for buy orders and below 156.20 for sell orders.
Fibonacci Expansion
Additional resistance levels, using Fibonacci Expansion, are identified at 159.96, 162.00, and 164.34 – 163.63. The latter, as shown in the chart, might be a significant resistance level, as two resistance levels from different Fibonacci Expansions converge.
Technical Indicator Analysis
Moving Averages
Currently, the exchange rate prices are between the moving averages. This indicates that it is still too early to place buy orders.
MACD
The MACD is moving positively in a downward direction. The divergence observed between the exchange rate prices and the MACD results was confirmed by the recent corrective downtrend. At present, the indicator's results do not support placing a buy order.
Future Movement Scenarios
Scenario A
The first scenario concerns the potential upward movement of prices. Confirmation of this scenario comes from two factors. The first is the upward breakout of the moving average from the price. The second is the exchange rate moving above 159.96. The first resistance level is at 163.25, followed by 164.34. The reversal point is placed relatively lower at 157.35.
Stance: Neutral | Outlook: BUY | Risk for placing orders: Moderate
Entry Point: > 160.00 | Target: 163.25 | Down Limit: 157.35
Scenario B
The possibility of a continued downtrend can occur if the exchange rate moves below 156.20. In this case, the trajectory needs to be reassessed.
