USD/TRY Trade Idea - Low Risk/High Reward Set UpThis idea is for educational and demonstration purposes and does not constitute a signal. If you take this trade, you do so at your own risk. This is simply an idea and not a guarantee.
We have the following confluences:
1. Trendline as noted; price has tested this trendline on now the fourth occasion
2. Price is also sitting at a key fib level 61.8% from last swing points.
3. Price is currently sitting on key demand zone, and appears to be respecting this zone.
4. Descending channel; we can expect an outbreak to the upside. How far, we can only presume (hence the TP1 and TP2)
5. We show divergence on the H4
TP1: 275 pips
TP2: 525 pips
I suggest placing the stop loss around 40-50 pips beneath the trendline as noted. You want to allow more room because of this trade's usual price action, so you will not get stopped out. I suggest allowing the market to digest a little on market open on this Sunday and analyzing this again; We know this pair is known to open with gaps, so we have to adjust our trade ideas accordingly. This offers a low risk to great reward set up.

USD/TRY SHORT OPPORTUNITYThis trade idea is a study and does not constitute a signal. Trade at your own risk.
Price is currently forming a bearish flag. I'm looking for two scenarios:
1. Price makes its way to the top of the channel, which would be the 50% fib level from swing high to swing low. I would look to sell at that point as noted.
2. Price may not make it to the top of the channel and could breakout from the flag. I would look for a continuation of sell.

Istanbul defended democracy, but Erdogan is still in powerHello dear Turkish Lira traders, merhaba arkadaslar! ;)
Istanbul clearly defended democracy on Sunday, giving the counterpart of the AKP, Ekrem Imamoglu, the majority of the votes, even in districts where the AKP had previously a stronghold. Even though Erdogan was not directly up for election, it was a clear message to the government: If you do not count our votes in the election, we will not stand still . The Istanbul mayoral election, which had closed almost 50:50 in the previous election, now went clearly 54 to 46 towards the CHP in the reelection.
What does it now mean for the Lira?
=> While it is clear that the CHP won Istanbul now -and with it almost one third of Turkey's economy- Erdogan is still the man in the land . He controls almost all political institutions, even up to the legislature. While people are on the streets dancing, at the same time the trials against the Gezi Park supporters like Osman Kavala have started.
So, it's back to usual, esp. if the the government intervened before the election to hold the Lira stable: We're currently building a nice Double Bottom on the Daily, which needs to see a break above the Pullback High 'neckline' to see a confirmation.
If we see a breakout here above 5,9 TRY, we could easily reach 6 and above, which would make the green line of my big time-frame analysis from Friday the most likely scenario:

USDTRY Possible Double BottomFor now WATCH; THIS IS NOT A SIGNAL but education.
Price confluence with trendline on higher time frame. Fib level confluence. Looking nice for a double bottom if plays out. See also linked trade idea below for possible teacup formation long term. Watching for confirmation as always before entering. Trade at your own risk.

Is Erdogan rigging the Lira (and the election) ?Hello dear FX & Turkish Lira traders, merhaba arkadaslar! ;)
It's been a long time since I've made an analysis to the Turkish Lira : But yet again, we have important elections coming up on Sunday: The AKP didn't accept the outcome of the first voting, which sent the pair through the roof immediately with an Ascending Triangle :
Since then we've been consolidating & have given the whole move back. But some already speculate that the government might be rigging the price, in order to keep it calm before the election. We will see the market reaction, once the election is done -and this time- accepted.
Should we keep on going down, we definitely have the potential to come to the previous S&R zone (support & resistance) at 5,5 and build a higher low there.
I think the most likely scenario is the green line or the lila line : Further tightening inside this range, either to 5,5, or 5, before we see break out to the upside. Less likely is that red scenario, where we would test the bottom support of 5, and break it eventually.
Very big picture on Monthly : Even better visible. Huge Equilibrium pattern, since we had broken the 5 Dollar/Lira to the upside, this pattern will be broken guys:
Conclusion guys: the market has already spoken, when we went through the roof with 4% after the first election was declared invalid. As long as Turkey/Erdogan does not accept democratic elections, the Lira will keep falling in the long-run against the major pairs USD & EUR.
Have a great day/evening global family! ;)

USDTRY Possible Bearish PennantPossible bearish pennant formation on this pair. Note possible trend line confluence as well as 61.8% fib level target. Initial bearish outbreak gave us approximately 200 pips. Breakout to target would mirror another 200'is pips. I do believe long term we will see higher prices, but for short term we have to take what the market gives us. This trade idea is for demonstration and educational purposes. Trade at your own risk.

Trade deadlock, Saudi tanker attacked, expert opinionsThe trade negotiations between the US and China are still at an impasse. The reason is - the Trump’s position, who accused China of violating the agreements. China, in turn, accused the United States of having provoked a negotiation crisis. Well, sum up there is a complete halt in the negotiation process, the expected counter-actions on the part of China and rather gloomy prospects for the world economy ahead.
As for counter-action. China announced that it will increase duties on US goods in the amount of $ 60 billion. The Ministry of Finance of the People’s Republic of China issued a statement announcing that from June 1, 2019 duties on a number of American goods will be increased from 5% to 25 %
Yuan naturally has dropped, reaching the lowest values against the dollar since December 27. According to analysts, this decline will not be limited and it is worth preparing for the assault on the mark of 7 yuan per dollar (the minimum value of the yuan since the global financial crisis). Yuan was not the only victim - stock indices declined steadily.
In general, the conditions for Japanese yen and gold growth are more than favorable. So, we continue to recommend its buying.
As for the US dollar, recently, any uncertainty of investors leads to its growth: the markets perceive the dollar as another variation of safe-haven assets. That is why a lot of managers of famous funds unanimously declare that the dollar is still the king in the foreign exchange market and its buying should be preferred. Moreover, the advice is buying it against the currencies of developing countries, for example, the Turkish lira, the Argentine peso, and the same Chinese yuan. It is simply to understand what is happening currently, the escalation of trade wars causes damage primarily to the economy of developing countries, therefore its currencies will be the first to take the brunt.
Saudi tankers among 'sabotaged' ships off the UAE coast. Taking into account the already tense situation in the Middle East, the oil market reacted to this force majeure as a completely natural reaction in the form of price increases and oil. But the growth did not last long and the day closed with a “black candle”. We will keep up to date and continue to look for points for oil sales.
By the end of Monday, our trading preferences have changed: we will look for points for buying the euro against the dollar, selling oil and the Russian ruble, as well as buying gold and the Japanese yen, but we will wait a little with Australian and Canadian dollars buying so far.
USDTRY - TCMB Meeting - Next Devaluation?In 15 minutes is Central Bank meeting in the Republic of Turkey!
If the TCMB leaves the interest at 24% or possibly lowers it then threatens in my view, a rapid devaluation with new highs from the perspective of the USD / EUR or new lows from the perspective of Turkey.
I have prepared the following Trading plan.
If 5.9066 fall then new highs are very likely and I will try as well as possible to trade it.

Disaster cooking in Turkey=> For those who believe in the bearish Turkey story, we are in the early stages of a 5th wave which we mentioned in our previous ideas... it can be seen clearly here and shows how the floodgates for the highs are wide open.
From a technical perspective the 5th wave target, the first major target is 7.85 (assuming wave 5 is a 1.00 ratio in length of wave 1).
Given the nature of this rally so far there is a very large chance this can extend well beyond the initial targets as far as the 2.168 extension above the highs.
It is also worth noting for those following EW that the 5th wave usually marks new highs... confidence in this view will increase above the 161.8% so for those wanting a less aggressive entry you can sit tight and watch closely and good luck to those wanting to pull the trigger early for the next few Quarters in 2019.
This is going to be a monstrous move and worth tracking for those interested in watching the EM collapse continue.
May vs Parliament, lira fevers, and sales have dropped off in USMonday was a very busy day for financial markets. It was partly due to the processing of weekend news (May's statement on Brexit, the results of the elections in Turkey), partly with new news stories. But first things first.
Brexit news. May’s attempt to hold the fourth vote in a row failed so far. Monday didn’t bring anything new to the current Brexit scenario.
What do we have today? Postponement Brexit until May 22, the UK is not available. Now the country must either leave the EU on April 12 or request another delay. The second option is basic. But the timing of the delay - an indefinite value. As we warned it could be a year.
However, you should not relax this week. May may still “push” the vote, early parliamentary elections are possible, May’s resignation and much more is possible. So you should be “careful” with the pound.
Very volatile in recent days in pairs with Turkish lira. This time the outcome was the results of the municipal elections in Turkey. Erdogan and his coalition were defeated in elections in 40 out of 81 polling stations (previously controlled by 49 municipalities), and he has lost Ankara and Istanbul. The central bank of Turkey, meanwhile, literally “burns” its foreign exchange reserves to stabilize the lira. According to data published on Friday, Turkey’s reserves have decreased by one third over the past month (!).
Yesterday’s macroeconomic statistics. The most important, perhaps, were the data on retail sales in the United States. They appeared worse than analysts' expectations and showed a decline for the month (-0.2% m / m with a forecast of + 0.2% m / m). That did not bother buyers of the dollar and it continue to strengthen. However, we recommend looking for points for selling dollar on the intraday basis.
Consumer inflation in the Eurozone came out slightly below the expectations of experts. At the same time, the PMI index in the Eurozone production sector was also worse than forecasts and below 50 (47.5, with the forecast of 47.6). So, it is clearly premature to expect monetary policy tightening by the ECB.
Oil continued its growth yesterday. It is worth noting that the first quarter of 2019 was the best for the oil market since 2002 - the asset after it rose by 32%. This once again confirms the current market sentiment. So we continue to recommend looking for points to buy an asset on the intraday basis.
In addition, we are looking for points for buying gold on the intraday basis, selling the dollar and the Russian ruble.
Impulsive move in play for USDTRY Here we are witnessing a very interesting move taking place for the Turkish financial system. After finishing a clear corrective ABC sequence since the August highs we are now in the early stages of an impulsive move to finish the more broader 5th wave in a very large sequence.
For those tracking the updates in USDTRY in the previous charts (see attached: "Starting 5th wave looks imminent..") this is the move we have been waiting for over the last few months. Finally it is here, time to stick the knife in and cause maximum pain for Turkey.
The fact that we are rallying in an impulsive manner means we are going to eventually crack 6 + and possibly even 7.80
Continuing to watch with interest, all positions are fully loaded here as has been the case for months. Time to sit on our hands and enjoy the moves.
Thanks
TOPSY-TURVY TURKEY? $TURInteresting to note that despite the nice gains Turkish equities saw in January 2019 (+15.7%) to make up for December 2018 (-6.87%), the asset class has experienced some nasty losses in February (-3.63%) and March (-4.36% so far) - all of which are quickly eroding all YTD gains.
Its the only EM market to have suffered such losses so far (rivaling that of South Africa). To add insult to injury, it appears that Turkish equities have had great difficult trying to break through its 50-Day EMA as well, indicating global equity investors are loosing faith in Turkish equities.
To complicate matters even further, the Turkisk Lira (USD/TRY) has been down 3.46% against the US Dollar so far in 2019, putting further stress on the currency.
In continuation from last year, it may mean that markets are trying to tell us something about the health of the Turkish economy for 2019. As global investors continue to shed Turkish assets throughout 2019, this is one space investors should be very wary of investing in over the next little while.
We recommend caution against Turkish assets.
