Google recently released its Q2 earnings to the market and looking at the monthly charts of its parent company Alphabet, the market appears quite happy with the most recent earnings results. The monthly chart only has a few trading days left to complete, with the current price action as of last Friday the 26th of July, Google is currently showing a breakout pattern above $1,227 resistance. Considering that Google has been consolidating in a sideways pattern since early 2018, if Google can close above $1,227 for the monthly this will be a significant milestone for shareholders. The one important red flag with potential breakout pattern, is that volume for Alphabet is below its average monthly volume. There is another three trading days left of trading to increase volume levels, but given the earnings release and close to the end of the month you would like the volume to much higher to go along with this breakout potential. On the bullish case if we do see a breakout pattern completed, we have a potential target of approximately $1,490-$1,500 resistance area on the monthly charts, which is based on the average distance away from the 52 month moving average that Google price action normally trades away from. Since those levels if achieved would be new all-time record highs, this is the only suitable method of targeting ahead. The bearish case if Google price action was to fall back below $1,227 level by the end of July 19, then we would of have achieved a triple top resistance pattern. Which based on history would mean we would see a likely target back to $1020 support area, which would also mean that its long-term uptrend line would of also been breached if this was to be achieved. Given the index weighting of both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Indices, the likely success or failure of Google's price action is likely to have a decent impact on these two indices over the coming months.

Its been a long time since both Gold & Silver were receiving this much attention from traders and investors globally. Over the last few weeks we have witnessed a big shift on the longer term weekly charts that this current move is different from what we have seen over the last few years. Gold finished the week at another 2019 high at $1,425, while also more importantly making a six year weekly high as well. The reason why I say that Gold has had a big shift is because we have recently seen on the weekly chart a break above a long six year sideways consolidation phase shown on the chart. It recently made a small retracement to retest the old resistance now support area of the consolidation phase, followed by a bounce higher off support. In addition the 52 week moving average has now swung to the upside as the price action sits just above $1,415 support. Its possible we could see a move towards $1,480 resistance this week after we saw a retrace on Friday on the daily chart to a key support. However its also important to note even though over the next several weeks & months that we could see the price at or above $1,564 resistance area based on the 52 weekly moving average range relative to price. I’m also expecting that we will encounter consolidation soon as well which could see either a pullback or sideways phase for a few weeks. Especially we hit $1,480 resistance before any consolidation. Silver on the other hand has also had a big shift on the weekly chart even though its still lagging considerably relative to Gold’s recent price action. On the weekly chart Silver has had a big price move week breaching multiple resistance areas including the last previous weekly high area of $15.80-85, closing at just under the $16.20 resistance area after reaching a weekly high at the $16.60 which was also a key resistance. Ideally this coming week it would be ideal to see another follow through of buying for the week and close above $16.20 resistance allowing it to consolidate the new higher high of this week. Given the past history of weekly potential price action moves away from the 52 week moving average, Silver has the ability over the coming weeks and months to move beyond $18.65 resistance. Considering for Silver though its 52 week moving average has gone from sloping down to now flat, we could see a consolidation move coming soon as well allowing the 52 week moving average to swing to the upside and allow a breather before making its next big move higher. Given that we will have the FED FOMC meeting to decide rates at the end of the month of July, we could see a move higher for both Silver & Gold leading into the FED decision & sell the news / retrace after FOMC meeting.

The Aussie Dollar appears to of made another breakout attempt out of its long term downtrend on the weekly chart. Despite a rate cut by the RBA last week sending the cash rate to a historic low of 1.00%, with more expected for the remainder of the year, the AUDUSD actually rose on the rate cut day. It proceeded to move higher during the week, only to fall strongly on Friday on the US jobs number, which created only a small pullback for the weekly chart after the prior breakout of the downtrend. The important question going forward though is whether this breakout move is the start of a bigger move higher, or its just another false breakout signal for traders. Looking at the technicals for the weekly chart, you will notice the 52 week moving average is sloping lower, whilst the price action is trading below the 52 week moving average. In addition the price action for now has not traded back above the 70.30 resistance area, which would signal a confirmed move out of the downtrend if it was to move above 70.30. This means, similar to the false breakout we saw back in March 2019, we have to wait & see what the price action does over the next few weeks to gain a clearer understanding on what’s happening for the AUDUSD. To even consider being bullish on the Aussie dollar on a medium to long term basis on the weekly chart, we need to see clear higher lows, that consolidate above both 70.30 & 71.70 resistance areas in the coming weeks and months. If we this was to occur it would allow the 52 week moving average to begin to swing around eventually, providing positive momentum signal for a sustained move higher. Since none of the confirming technical’s for a sustained move higher has occurred for now, the odds are in the favor of the bears. So its possible this could be another false breakout, however we would need to see a move back below the downtrend line to confirm this, with an initial target of 68.30 support if this was to occur.

I said I would like to see consolidation and the 52 day MA turn back up before considering a long. Well since Monday, Oil has fallen sharply lower falling back inside the downtrend line, while also closing below $57.30 support and once again trading below the 52 day MA. Given the 52 day MA is sloping down already and the setup we are witnessing this price action looks quite bearish at the moment. In the short term I'm looking for potentially a small retracement back to either 57.30 area, or a move back higher towards its downtrend line currently around $58.50. However after the brief retracement process, I'm looking for Crude Oil to continue to roll over and head for $55.15 support as its first potential area to move towards. Since on a macro level that global Manufacturing PMI's are rolling over at the moment, as well as supply rising from US Oil production its no surprise that Oil is weak at the moment. Since the last down move back a few weeks ago was around $50.60 level, its certainly possible we could reach this area over the next few weeks if we see follow through selling. More importantly considering the 52 day MA is much lower now than 3 to 4 weeks ago, Crude Oil has the potential to move towards a lower area beyond the June lows. However we are getting ahead of ourselves at the moment, especially considering how bullish US stocks are presently this could come to play on Oil & stocks this week and next since they are closely correlated. Either higher stock prices can support Oil prices despite the bearishness or by forcing stocks to pullback lower in the short term. Its also important to note that on occasion the two assets classes have and can move in opposite directions for a while. But its certainty worth watching closely for the rest of this week.
