AcetraderFx Jul 16: Daily Outlook on Major EUR/USD
DAILY MARKET OUTLOOK EUR/USD - 1.3565
Update Time: 16 Jul 2014 01:21 GMT
Euro's breach of last Monday's low at 1.3576 to 1.3562 on Tuesday due to broad-based firmness in greenback confirms correction from June's bottom at 1.3503 has ended earlier at 1.3700 in July and as price is currently trading below both 21-hour and 55-hour EMAs, suggesting consolidation with downside bias remains for a re-test of said low later this week.
On the upside, only a break of 1.3650 would prolong choppy trading above aforesaid low at 1.3503 and may risk another bounce towards 1.3700.

GBP/USD- .. BoE Governor Mark Carney told lawmakers at a hearing in Britain's parliament on Tue said the central bank's forward guidance policy aimed to signal how interest rates might change over the medium term, not pinpoint the timing of a first hike.
He said "We don't know exactly when the rate cycle is going to start. It will be driven by the data. We do expect markets to react to that data." When asked about comments he made last month that a first rate hike might come sooner than markets were thinking, Carney said he wanted to make investors think about the chance of an early increase in borrowing costs as U.K.'s economy recovered.
"We were concerned that markets were not reacting to data, a fairly long run of data, that was as good as expected, if not slightly better." Carney added "The only guidance that the new MPC is now giving is around the expected medium-term path of interest rates, not the timing of the first rate rise.

. Looking at the daily chart, y'day's breach of last week's 1.3576 trough (also reaction low fm 1.3700) confirms recent corrective up move fm Jun's near 4-month bottom at 1.3503 has indeed ended at 1.3700 n consolidation with downside bias remains for weakness twd 1.3503, then resumption of MT downtrend fm May's 2-1/2 year peak at 1.3995 to next daily chart obj. at 1.3477 (2014 low) n later 1.3454 (this is 50% proj. of 1.3995-1.3503 measured fm 1.3700), however, as the daily indicators wud display 'bullish convergences' on such move, reckon 1.3396/99 (61.8% projection of 1.3995-1.3503 n minor daily sup respectively) wud contain weakness this month.

USD/JPY- ... comments from Japan's FinMin Taro Aso said: " need to watch negative impact on economy such as oil prices due to situation over Ukraine including downing of Malaysian airliner.
Dlr weakened slightly below o/n NY low at 101.17 to 101.09 in Australia this today as investors weighed risks after President Barack Obama said the U.S. would assist in determining the cause of the crash of a Malaysia Airlines plane near the Russia-Ukraine border. However, short covering in yen crosses lifted price and dlr climbed back to 101.30.
At the moment, offers are noted at 101.40-50 n then 101.65/70 with stops emerging above Wed's high of 101.79. On the downside, bids are placed at 101.00 n around 101.85 with stops located just below 2014 bottom at 100.76 (Feb). Selling dlr on recovery is cautiously favoured as demand for yen on risk aversion after yesterday's Malaysian Airplanes plane crash should continue to pressure usd/jpy in Asia.
Earlier BoJ minutes stated, quote:
most members shared view that BoJ would continue with QE to achieve the price stability target of 2 percent, as long as necessary;
members shared view that impact of QE is firmly taking hold, supporting firms' and households' spending;

some members said decline in interest rates worldwide might reflect weaker outlook for mid- to long-term growth;
members agreed Asian economies likely to lack momentum because of weak demand, especially in Thailand;
members shared view that the economy continues to recover moderately as a virtuous cycle among production, income and spending continued to operate;
members agreed that Japan's exports had leveled off but were likely to increase moderately, mainly due to a recovery in overseas economies.'

. USD/JPY - 101.21... Despite extending early upmove fm last Thur's 6-week low of 101.07 to 101.79 on Wed, dlr came under pressure at Asian open due to broad-based buying of yen. News of downing of a Malaysian aircraft in Ukriane knocked the greenback to 101.17 in NY afternoon, the to 101.09 in Australia.
. On the daily picture, as dlr has fallen again after staging a strg rebound fm last Thur's 6-week low of 101.07 to 101.79 on Wed, subsequent cross-inspired weakness suggests re-test of 101.07 wud be forthcoming soon, a break there wud pressure dlr twd 2014 trough at 100.76 (Feb low), a daily close below there wud signal a 'downside break' of the near 7-month long broad sideways trading has taken place, then further weakness to 100.00 n 99.60 (50% r of 93.75-105.45) wud follow later this month. Failure to penetrate 100.76 n subsequent rise abv 101.79 wud retain previous broad consolidative view, dlr will later ratchet higher twd 102.27 later next week.
. Today, as yen remains firm across the board due to safe-haven demand, selling dlr on intra-day recovery for 100.80 is cautiously favoured n only abv 101.79 aborts bearishness, risks subsequent headway twd 102.00/05.

USD/JPY- ... The greenback traded with a soft bias in Asia this morning n moved lower from Australian high of 101.37 to 101.27 in part due to cross-buying in yen vs other CCYs as risk aversion remained after the shooting down of a Malaysia Airlines jet in eastern Ukraine last Fri.
Today, expect range trading with mild downside bias until European open as market is thin in Asia due to national holiday in Japan. There are no major economic data release from U.S. and therefore, fund flow should be the main drive for this pair's direction.
At the moment, offers are noted at 101.35/40 and then 101.55/60 with stops emerging above last Wed's high of 101.79, whilst bids are noted at 101.15/10 and around 101.00 with mixture of bids and stops located at 101.80 and just below 2014 bottom at 100.76 (Feb).

. Let's look at bigger picture 1st, dlr's strg rise fm Jul's 0.8857 low n breach of 0.8859 res (now sup) to 0.9004 confirms the early correction fm Jun's 3-1/2 month peak at 0.9037 has ended there n consolidation with upside bias remains for re-test of said res, abv wud extend MT the 3-legged rise fm Mar's 2-1/2 year trough at 0.8698 to next chart obj. at 0.9082. Having said that, as daily technical indicators wud display prominent 'bearish divergences' on such move, risk has increased for a major correction to take place later this month or in early Aug. On the downside, only below 0.8924/38 (prev. res) wud signal top is made n may risk possible weakness twd 0.8899.
. Today, although Fri's retreat fm 0.9004 suggests initial sideways move is in store, as long as 0.8963/67 sup area holds, marginal gain is likely but as hourly oscillators' readings have displayed 'bearish divergences', reckon 0.9037 shwud cap upside. Below 0.8938 aborts bullishness on dlr, risks 0.8900/10.
