Overhead Resistance Versus Break-Out Potential

FYI | Jan 27 2011

FNArena has added another video to its Investors Education section on the website.

ATW's Jerry Simmons has observed many USD-oriented assets are facing overhead resistance. This offers two potential scenarios. Either resistance proves too strong or we will experience a bullish break-out through these key price levels. Simmons expects a definitive outcome in this battle between bears and bulls within the coming week.

Summary

In this video, Jerry Simmons, Senior Mentor and Co-Founder of the Advanced Trading Workshop, Inc, analyses the trading range in which many USD-denominated currency pairs have found themselves for the past weeks, including the metals such as copper, gold, silver and platinum. He concludes that we should expect a breakout with a sustained directional move within a week. This is also in line with the big traditional January move. The same sideways market has characterised the 30 yr bond market and the 10 yr note markets and the same potential for a sustainable break-out exists in these two markets.

Details:

AUDUSD:

There is overhead resistance at 0.9970 – 1.0030. If we get a confirmed break-out above 1.0030, chances are we will move further up quickly by 120 to 170 pips, to 1.0150 – 1.0200.
Support below the market is to be found at 0.9800 – 0.9850. Should we get a confirmed break-out below 0.9800, a swift move further down by  90 – 140 pips  to the next level at 0.9660 – 0.9710 can be expected, with the emphasis being on the lower margin of those two, i.e. 0.9660.

COPPER:

TTPs constructed in a recent video projected the top of the price move at current levels.  Current levels could be exceeded up to a maximum level of 4.62 and still maintain the validity of the Double Top structure. The current level also re-tests the May 2008 high. If copper rolls over now, it would come off that May 2008 high and the Double Top formation, i.e. a down move could be expected to develop strong momentum and be sustainable.

GOLD:

The gold market is currently characterised by two key support zones below and 2 key resistance zones above3 the market:
2nd resistance zone above: 1420 – 1435
1st resistance zone above: 1390 – 1395
Current market
1st support zone below : 1350 – 1355
2nd support zone below: 1317 – 1330.
