Tech Musings - Review


Japanese Yen depreciated by almost 20% since my call 26th October 2012. In my post on 26th October I wrote “I think the current rally will take yen to atleast 87 levels and may be to 94 levels in next six months. It is a very high conviction trade as per my analysis.”  With Yen making a high of 94.50 in this week my target for yen is over.



If we look at the second chart we can see that yen has only completed 38.2% retracement of the entire fall. I think Yen has now broken out of the 20 year long bear trend and will depreciate significantly in times to come. Next target for yen is at 100, 105 and 112 levels. Yen may give a sharp pull back from here but if it will again be a good shorting opportunity if yen weakens to 84 – 87 levels with a stop of 78 and target of 112 in next two years. 




Similarly Nikkei also touched my first target of 11500 given in my post on 4th may 2012 and 16th November 2012. Just like yen I think Nikkei has also broken out of 20 years of long down trend and it should may go upto 15000 levels in next three years but before that there will be sharp pullback which will create great buying opportunities. 

 



Gold also slipped from 1700 levels and made a low of 1600 USD yesterday.  I think gold is poised to go lower as mentioned in my post on 14th and 24th December 2012. Below 1600 the support for gold exists at 1570 and 1520 levels.  I think gold will give a pull back to 1520 levels for sure.    Whether it will break below 1520 is anyone’s guess, but if it does break below 1520 on monthly closing basis gold may be in for some serious correction.

Long term support for gold exists at around 1350 to 1400 USD levels. If Gold breaks below these levels the entire uptrend which started since 2001 will be broken. I think if gold moves towards 1400 USD it will be a good long term buying opportunity with a stop loss of 1200 and target of 2100++ in next few years. 

 



Similarly support for silver exist at around 27 levels and below 27 silver may correct to 21 – 22 levels.





INR took support exactly at the level mentioned and reversed from there. In my post on 19th January 2013 I wrote Trend line support for INR exists at 52.78 levels. Therefore possibility of INR falling upto 52.75 cannot be ruled out.”

 INR took support exactly at the trend line and made a low 52.87 and reversed strongly from there. If INR is able to move above 55.50 levels we will see sharp depreciation in INR and it should go to 60 – 64 levels if not higher.


Although Crude oil has moved above my stoploss of 95 overall I stay bearish on crude oil. If we look at the given chart, Crude oil is facing resistance exactly at trend line and I think it should weaken from here. Major support for Crude exists at around 70 USD a barrel 100 should act as a strong resistance for crude. Risky traders can go short on Crude at current levels with stop of 105. 

PS: I have given a short on crude oil around 92 USD with a stop of 95 on 29th September 2012




 Summary:-
1.       Expect sharp pull backs in Yen and Nikkei although long term targets are far from here. Any dip will give good buying opportunity.
2.       Gold should move towards 1520 levels. Any fall around 1400 will be good buying opportunity with stop loss of 1200 on weekly closing basis.
3.       INR has bounced back and next target for INR is around 60 – 64 levels, wait for a breakout of 55.50 on weekly closing basis before going short on INR.
4.       Crude looks weak, Go short at CMP with stop loss of 105 on weekly closing basis.
