AceTraderFx Mar 16: Daily Recommendations on Major -EUR/USD
DAILY MARKET OUTLOOK ON MAJOR EUR/USD
Update Time: 16 Mar 2015 01:20 GMT
EUR/USD - 1.0515
Despite euro's intra-day fall below Friday's fresh 12-year trough at 1.0462 to 1.0457 (Reuters) in New Zealand, subsequent intra-day rebound suggests choppy trading would be seen in Asia.
However, reckon 1.0566 (previous sup, now resistance) would cap upside and bearishness remains for another decline later, below 1.0457 would extend weakness to 1.0436 and then 1.0400.
On the upside, only a daily close above 1.0636 would indicate a temporary low is made and yield retracement towards 1.0684 (last Thursday's high).

EUR/USD - 1.0555
Despite euro's initial fall below Friday's fresh 12-year trough at 1.0462 to 1.0457 (Reuters) in yesterday's New Zealand, subsequent intra-day rally to 1.0620 (New York) signals recent strong downtrend has 'finally' made a temporary low there and stronger retracement towards chart objective at 1.0684 is likely before prospect of a retreat.
On the downside, only below 1.0498 (yesterday's European morning support) would indicate correction is over instead and bring subsequent weakness towards 1.0457.

EUR/USD - 1.0606
Despite euro's rally from Monday's fresh 12-year trough at 1.0457 to as high as 1.0651 yesterday, subsequent intra-day retreat to 1.0584 in New York suggests 1st leg of correction has ended there and choppy trading with mild downside bias remains.
Below 1.0584 would bring weakness to 1.0551 (yesterday's low in Asia) but support at 1.0498 should remain intact.
On the upside, only above 1.0651 would yield stronger retracement of recent strong downtrend to 1.0684 but reckon resistance at 1.0717 would remain intact.

EUR/USD - ....... Reuters reported Greece faces a liquidity problem and needs the cooperation of its European lenders to deal with a possible cash crunch, its deputy prime minister said.
Greece has been kept afloat since 2010 by EU/IMF bailouts totaling 240 bln euros and risks running out of cash in weeks amid a widening rift with its creditors.
"We haven't received any (bailout) tranches since August 2014 but we have been meeting all of our obligations," Deputy PM Yannis Dragasakis told Greek Alpha TV. "This has its limits."
Asked whether Greece risked running out of cash if it does not reach a deal with its lenders, Dragasakis said:
"Of course we have a liquidity problem, for the reason I mentioned. We have obligations which, in order for us to meet, we need the good cooperation of the European institutions."
Dragasakis ruled out early elections or a referendum should Athens's negotiations with the euro zone fail. "There are some things that we need to keep in the back of our minds ... (however) neither elections nor a referendum are on the table at the moment," he said, without elaborating on what the referendum might be on.
Earlier news on Reuters quoting comments from Greek deputy PM who says :
-Greece has a liquidity problem, we need good cooperation with EU partners to meet our obligations.
-grexit does not concern us, it is not an option for our government.
-a referendum is not on the table at the moment.
Yesterday European Council President Donald Tusk confirmed he would hold talks with the leaders of France, Germany and Greece and the heads of the European Central Bank and the euro group on Thursday to discuss the Greek debt crisis.
President Francois Hollande, Chancellor Angela Merkel and Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras as well as the ECB's Mario Draghi will participate in the meeting, while Jeroen Dijsselbloem will also be present, a spokesman for Tusk said.
The talks will take place on the sidelines of an EU summit in Brussels.
