Fundamental Analysis: GDP (QoQ)

Traders of the US anticipate the publication of the GDP measurement. The

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the broadest measure of economic activity

and is a key indicator for the economy's health.

The Annualized (quarterly change x4) percent changes in GDP shows the growth

rate of the economy as a whole.

Consumption is by far the largest component in the GDP of the US and has the

most affect on it.

The figures can be quite volatile from quarter to quarter. A higher than

expected reading should be taken as positive/bullish for the USD, while a

lower than expected reading should be taken as negative/bearish for the USD.

Analysts predict a future reading of 5.90%.

Euro Dollar

The Euro broke the support specified in yesterday's report 1.3390 , and

dropped reaching the first suggested target 1.3326 successfully, before

dipping below 1.33 for the first time since May 7th of last year. This

collapse is completely expected, not only that, but we believe what we have

seen yet is just part one of a strong and massive medium term drop which has

already started! We will not be a bit surprised when we see the Euro below

1.30 in the near future, on the contrary, we look forward with eager to

that. As for the short term, we may see a correction that retests the

support area 1.3434-1.3462 before the weekend, and we may not! This depends

on breaking the short term support or resistance. We see resistance at

1.3459, and the EURUSD will stay harmed, trading under a very negative

technical outlook as long as we are below this resistance. But if a surprise

takes us above this level, we will correct the last wave down from 1.38.

Ideal targets for such a correction are 1.3550 & 1.3612. As for the support

it is at 1.3303 and breaking it would indicate a continuation of the drop.

We do expect large targets to be met before the weekend, such as 1.3190 &

1.3088.

Support:

* 1.3303: important intraday support.

* 1.3190: Apr 30th low.

* 1.3088: Apr 10th low.

Resistance:

* 1.3459: Fibonacci 61.8% for the short term.

* 1.3550: Fibonacci 50% for the drop from 1.3816.

* 1.3612: Fibonacci 61.8% for the drop from 1.3816.

USD/JPY

After days & days of putting it under our surveillance, and pouring all our

attention on it, the "magnetic" resistance 90.78 was broken and we have seen

what follows the break of such important levels. The Dollar jumped strongly

breaking the specified resistance in yesterday's report 90.78 & successfully

reaching both suggested targets 91.60 & 92.31, stopping only 7 pips above

the second target! With this break, the Dollar has released itself from

pressure, and the direction of the Dollar in this pair could now agree with

its direction against the European currencies, and we could end up seeing a

board Dollar rally against all majors. After this rocketing rise, a

correction is normally expected, and here, the previous critical resistance

90.78 has turned to a support that the price should hold above. Short term

support is at 91.40 & breaking it would indicate a drop to 90.78 to retest

it. If price holds above it, or at least close to it, there will be no harm.

But it we go back below this level, the positive technical outlook will get

hit hard, and price will drop towards 89.99. As for the resistance it is at

92.09 & if broken, the current rise will continue, and the Dollar will rise

to a new set of targets which includes: 93.20 & 93.75.

Support:

* 91.40: short term 38.2% Fibonacci support.

* 90.78: the previous important resistance, and Fibonacci 61.8%.

* 89.99: the rising trend line from 89.61 on the hourly chart.

Resistance:

* 92.09: the falling trend line from yesterday's top.

* 93.20: Jan 4th high.

* 93.75: Jan 8th high.

Euro Dollar

The Euro continued to rise from last week's low, Friday's low, and the

10-month low 1.3266. It challenged the important resistance 1.3453,

surpassed it clearly. But in spite of that we wonder: Can it go back to

uptrend? The collapse which happened late last week is completely expected,

not only that, but we believe what we have seen yet is just part one of a

strong and massive medium term drop which has already started! We will not

be a bit surprised when we see the Euro below 1.30 in the near future, on

the contrary, we look forward with eager to that. But after dropping from

1.38 to 1.32 in a few days, a rising correction is normal & logical thing

and holds no surprises. Thus, we should focus of the projected targets for

this correction. As for the short term, we see resistance at the nearby

1.3453, and the EURUSD will stay harmed, trading under a very negative

technical outlook as long as we are below this resistance. But if a surprise

takes us above this level one more time, we will correct the last wave down

from 1.38. Ideal targets for such a correction are 1.3541 & 1.3606. As for

the support it is at 1.3385 and breaking it would indicate a continuation of

the drop. We do expect large targets to be met for the short term, such as

1.3283 & 1.3190.

Support:

* 1.3385: Fibonacci 38.2% for the rise from yesterday's bottom.

* 1.3283: Thursday's low.

* 1.3190: Apr 30th low.

Resistance:

* 1.3453: Fibonacci 61.8% for the short term.

* 1.3541: Fibonacci 50% for the drop from 1.3816.

* 1.3606: Fibonacci 61.8% for the drop from 1.3816.

USD/JPY

Dollar-Yen did not move a lot on Friday, and failed to create any moves that

could change the technical picture. As we said on the last report of the

past week, what is important can be seen when taking a look at the daily

chart, and spotting that break of a one year old trend line which frustrated

the Dollar deeply on 3 previous occasions. This break turns the medium term

outlook to positive, after breaking 90.78 did the same for the short term

outlook. With this break, the Dollar has released itself from pressure, and

the direction of the Dollar in this pair could now agree with its direction

against the European currencies, and we could end up seeing a board Dollar

rally against all majors. After this rocketing rise, a correction is

normally expected, and here, the previous critical resistance 90.78 has

turned to a support that the price should hold above. Short term support is

at 92.29 & breaking it would indicate a drop to 91.34 first, and may be then

another drop to 90.78 to retest it. If price holds above it, or at least

close to it, there will be no harm. But it we go back below this level, the

positive technical outlook will get hit hard. As for the resistance it is at

92.77 & if broken, the current rise will continue, and the Dollar will rise

to a new set of important targets above 93 which includes: 93.20 & 93.75.

Support:

* 92.29: Friday's low.

* 91.34: short term Fibonacci 50% support.

* 90.78: the previous magnetic resistance, which turned to the most

important support now

Resistance:

* 92.77: important intraday resistance.

* 93.20: Jan 4th high.

* 93.75: Jan 8th high.

Fundamental Analysis: Initial Jobless Claims

Traders of the US anticipate the publication of the Initial Jobless Claims.

This is a seasonally adjusted measure of the number of people who file for

unemployment benefits for the first time during the given week. This data is

collected by the Department of Labor, and published as a weekly report. The

number of jobless claims is used as a measure of the health of the job

market, as a series of increases indicates that there are fewer people being

hired. On a week-to-week basis, claims are quite volatile. Usually, a move

of at least 35K in claims, is required to signal a meaningful change in job

growth.

A higher than expected reading should be taken as negative/bearish for the

USD, while a lower than expected reading should be taken as positive/bullish

for the USD. Analysts predict a future reading of 440.00K.

Euro Dollar

The Euro continued to rise from last week's low, Friday's low, and the

10-month low 1.3266, reaching a new top for this correction at 1.3535, from

which it dropped strongly for more than 150 pips. The collapse which

happened late last week is completely expected, not only that, but we

believe what we have seen yet is just part one of a strong and massive

medium term drop which has already started! We will not be a bit surprised

when we see the Euro below 1.30 in the near future, on the contrary, we look

forward with eager to that. But after dropping from 1.38 to 1.32 in a few

days, a rising correction is normal & logical thing and holds no surprises.

Thus, we should focus of the projected targets for this correction, the most

important of which is the Fibonacci 61.8% resistance at 1.3606. Adding

importance to this level is the fact that the long term descending trend

line is getting closer and closer to it. As for the short term, we see

resistance at 1.3441, and if broken, we will continue to correct the last

wave down from 1.38. Ideal targets for such a correction are 1.3541 & the

level with continuous rise in its importance 1.3606. As for the support it

is at 1.3369 and breaking it would indicate a continuation of the drop from

yesterday's top 1.3535. We do expect large targets to be met for the short

term, such as 1.3283 & 1.3190.

Support:

* 1.3369: the bottom of the rising trend line from 1.3266 on hourly charts.

* 1.3283: Thursday's low.

* 1.3190: Apr 30th low.

Resistance:

* 1.3441: Fibonacci 38.2% for the drop from yesterday's top.

* 1.3541: Fibonacci 50% for the drop from 1.3816.

* 1.3606: Fibonacci 61.8% for the drop from 1.3816.

USD/JPY

Dollar-Yen broke the resistance specified in yesterday's report 92.68, and

successfully reached the first suggested target 93.20, in a move in the same

direction of the technical outlook which followed the break of the falling

trend line on the daily chart, which we have talked about several times

recently. Before reaching 93, the technical outlook was positive, and after

reaching 93, the technical outlook is still positive. But, as we approach

the important top 93.75, we recommend caution of a possible drop. Since it

is pretty important, we will take 93.75 to be our "resistance of the day",

and we do not expect this "correctionless" rise to continue unless it is

broken. But if it does, the price will jump above 94 for the first time

since August, targeting 94.35 and may get a taste of 95 as it targets 95.05.

As for the support it is at 93.00, and breaking it would mean that the price

has settled for a top at 93.58, for the time being at least, and that we

will now correct the big rise we just saw.

Support:

* 93.00: Fibonacci 38.2% for the short term.

* 92.13: Feb 19th low.

* 91.49: Fibonacci 38.2% for the rise from 88.12.

Resistance:

* 93.75: Jan 8th high.

* 94.35: Aug 4th low.

* 95.05: Aug 24th high.
