XAUUSD inverse H&S, break up of necklineRecently, Gold broke up above intermidiate resistance/neckline. On chart, you can see inverse Head and Shoulders pattern which usually leads to reversal of previous trend. Since Reversal candle on the 1st of January of 2015 it feels much more constructive. Nice 2 days of rally after that actionable signal. Then it broke up resistance at $1,204 which later became our new pivot support. After 3 days of rally we have small reversal candle which may lead to digestion or pullback (reason to cover some if you are long, doesn't mean short) that is healthy as gold already gained 4.5% since the beginnig of new 2015 year.
First area to look for entry Long is $1,223 - break point of neckline and previous swing high. Then we have 21 EMA and bigger support at $1,204.
From fundamental point of view we can see increase in demand, as wedding season takes place in many countries. India is prominent one.
My first intermidiate target is $1,255. Macro target $1,300-$1,330

LNKD showed relative strengthYeasterday US markets closed in red with QQQ -0.8%, SPY -0.9% and DIA -0.94%.
But this social network reversed from lows and closed near highs.
I think we are close to resolution of this wide range with upside bias because of that strength. Now we have higher low @ $143.45 and important intermidiate support @ $145 that was retested intraday.
Another action point is previous high of the day @ $149.50. If it will go above and hold we can see $153.34
Gold found support and looks ready for move higherFrom the beginning of the year gold was in uptrend from $1179 to $1392 (around 20%) then sold off from highs but found some buying support $1268-$1278 (around 50%-61.8%).
ENTRY:
This pullback is still controlled and with this
1) doji candle bounced off from support zone it gives me entry with tier1 then
2) I will add if it will hold above moving averages ($1300) and
3) another point will be break up of trend line @ $1310
STOP:
1) below low of doji @ $1277.13
2) below $1268 support zone's low
TARGET:
1) 200 MA @ $1320
2) swing high @ $1330
CSCO inverse Head and Shoulders US markets (Dia, Spy) are trying to push to new highs. Money rotates to safe heaven, high dividend, large cap stocks (www.cnbc.com).
Cisco is component of both indexes DowJones and S&P. It built nice inverse Head and Shoulders pattern with neckline @ $23.60ish area. And we have series of three higher lows: first is bottom @ $20.22 then right shoulder with support @ 22.30ish and yeasterday it closed strong well off the lows, bounced from $22.50ish support of that nice upper-level base, regained 8 and 21 moving averages.
It would be healthy to see some construction above short term moving averages and continuation move to test neckline @ $23.60 with potential break up.
ENTER long here @ low $23.00ish with STOP below $22.43, first TARGET @23.60.
Macro target is $26.50-27.00, but till then i wll navigate that potential trend up with active approach.
MSFT bounced from major trend lineMarkets act very healthy as money rotates to safe heaven, high dividend, large cap stocks. (more analysis on markets in link chart)
Yeasterday tech giant reversed from lows and closed near highs, means that buyers took control and regained important support at $39.
Today it triggered ENTRY LONG above previous hod @ $39.51.
STOP below $39 and $38.50
TARGET $41.25-$41.62
I want to see some follow through and construction above short term moving averages.
SPY inverse Head and Shoulders, higher lowsUS markets covered morning losses and closed well on highs. Tech sector and small cap companies continue to diverge from S&P500 and major cap Dow Jones. It makes some traders nervous, and some say it's time for caution but we will measure price action with levels and wil continue to follow our process and rules.
Market has switching gears every day, so we should adapt quickly. Don't trade opinion, trade price action.
SPY built series of hiher lows, one at $181.51, then another one at $184.96 and yeasterday's low at $186.01. You have this upper range that looks like Inverse Head and Shoulders pattern.
Now in order to break out, the SPY need to get above and stay above $188.50-$189
AAPL don't chase price, stay tactical It is difficult to buy here after $40 move from earning's gap but on intraday basis there we can still trade tactically keeping long in our mind.
Actually, it is one of the best stocks in this choppy, range-bound market because after earnings was released it had nice, powerfull 2 days continuation move then some rest, inside days which is healthy after such a big move with Red Dog Reversal (so we can put some tactical trades on the short side) and yeasterday we saw breakout and some trend plays.
Today we will see if it can continue through previous high of the day for another potential move higher. Support levels at $598.40 then $596.
Overall market closed well on highs but stays choppy with $SPY in front of resistance and $QQQs showed recent relative weakness.
EUR/USD breakout failure Daily chart still in major uptrend but it is more range bound market, so it makes sence to trade tactically both sides.
After it failed above resistance zone pair established downtrend. Broke below previous low of the day means that sellers are interested in lower prices.
Significant support zone 1.38509-550 where i can take some off from my short position, below that i expect to see some follow through continuation. Will measure price action.
Stops above previous low of the day which today act like resistance at 1.38640ish.
