Price Hits ‘Trouble Area’ and Collapses

Price this week has collapsed lower and through what looks to be a crucial support level on the AUDNZD daily chart.

Last week we discussed the pin bar reversal on this pair and how price had moved higher and into a ‘trouble area’. Find that summary in Trade Ideas 10th to 15th Feb.

Price tested this trouble area for five consecutive days before selling off and collapsing to close below the major support.

These trouble areas are key when making trade entries and can be used to help identify potential areas where price may face trouble moving higher or lower. This can help us decide whether we want to make the trade, or when in a trade identify high probability profit target points.

GOLD Daily Chart

Bounce From Support and Trend Continues

This has been a very interesting market to chart over the past few months with price bouncing from the extreme lows, consolidating and moving into a market trend reversal higher.

As the chart shows below, price faced a stiff resistance to continue this trend and create a new high.

Price sold off at this resistance level, but has since moved back higher after finding support at the near-term support.

We now find gold looking to make another test of the same resistance to see if it can create a new high in this trend and push onto the extreme highs of 2018.

Any solid breaks of the resistance and bullish traders could look for potential breakouts, or breakout and quick re-test trade setups.

Find Out Where the Bears Are

In the span of two months, this market has completely changed.

Market Forms Reversal and is Moving Higher

We have been watching a market reversal take place on the daily chart of Oil v USD of late.

Price action rejected the lows, consolidated and has now gone on to form a fresh swing high signalling it is looking to push higher.

The next test for this market comes around the 57.50 area, but if price can break this level we could see the bulls take full control.

Watching to see if this level breaks could open potential trading opportunities. A quick breakout and then re-test of the old resistance and new support could offer a solid way to get into the move higher.
