. Looking at the hourly n daily charts, we've taken the view euro's choppy price action fm Aug's near 9-month trough of 1.3333 is possibly unfolding into a 'bearish triangle' pattern (with a-leg top at 1.3433, b-leg trough at 1.3336 n c-leg top at 1.3416, d-leg trough at 1.3348 n e-leg top has 'possibly' ended at 1.3412 Fri), if this view is correct, then MT fall fm May's 2-1/2 year peak at 1.3995 shud resume later this week n bring weakness to next daily chart object. at 1.3295 n later 1.3237 (61.8% proj. of the intermediate fall fm 1.3650-1.3333 measured fm 1.3433). On the upside, only a breach of 1.3433 wud signal an upside break of 1.3333-1.3433 range has taken place instead, then risk wud shift to upside for a stronger correction twd 1.3491 (50% r of 1.3650-1.3333).
. Today, we're holding early short position for weakness twd 1.3348 1st but 1.3333 wud remain intact. Only abv 1.3433 risks gain to 1.3475 b4 down.

The Aussie chopped around after RBA Governor Glenn Stevens' testimony b4 the House of Standing committee ahead of Asian open, short-term specs were selling the AUD after NY close but when Stevens did not jawbone the Aussie lower, shorts covered their positions and lifted price on 0.9318.
Below were Stevens testimonies released on Reuters :
-remains view that on most metrics would be surprising if A$ remains so high
-risk of A$ fall is under appreciated
-puzzled why u.s. dollar is not higher given u.s. is recovering
- intervention on A$ part of tool kit if thought useful
-have not considered intervention useful so far
-would not want to give advance warning if did consider intervention
-economy does not need draconian fiscal tightening right now
-budget problems are in the medium term
-recent reading on unemployment was a weak one, difficult to interpret
RBA's Kent says unemployment not to fall sustainably until late 2015, early 2016
Stevens continued - A$ high in part because global capital finds Australia attractive
-has not thought about raising rates
-says expects fairly subdued result for Q2 QDP
-have not felt that intervention would work at current A$ levels
-would consider lower rates if thought it would be helpful
-but does not think interest rates the answer right now

DAILY MARKET OUTLOOK EUR/USD - 1.3307
Update Time: 20 Aug 2014 03:53 GMT
Euro came under renewed selling pressure shortly after Asian open on Wed following yesterday's break of previous August's low at 1.3333 to a fresh 9-month trough of 1.3313 in New York morning due to upbeat U.S. housing starts data.
Although the single currency has hit an intra-day low of 1.3304 in thin Asian trading, below option barrier at 1.3300 needed to extend medium-term downtrend to 1.3270/75 later in the day. On the upside, only a daily close above 1.3333 would signal temporary low is in place and risk stronger recovery to 1.3365/75.

Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views
USD/JPY - ... Dlr jumps in Tokyo lunch session after a brief pullback from 103.00 to 102.90 in Tokyo open, price hits a 4-1/2 month peak of 103.22 when the Nikkei climbs above to 15490, just 2 ticks below morning high of 15492.
The greenback climbed above yesterday's NY high of 102.93 on renewed cross-selling in yen n partly on a larger-than-expected Japan's current account deficit.
The WSJ reported the Finance Ministry data showed that the overall trade deficit of 964 bln was slightly smaller than the 1 tln a year ago, as an economic slowdown caused by the Apr 1 sales tax increase damped demand for imported goods.
Japan's exports rose in Jul for the first time in 3 months, but imports were unexpectedly robust, leading to a larger-than-expected deficit amid a gradual pickup in global economic growth. Exports grew 3.9% on year. Market estimates had expected outbound shipments to increase 3.4% on year. Imports increased 2.3%.
Both the govt. n the BoJ are keeping a cautious eye on exports. Since coming into office in late 2012, PM Shinzo Abe has introduced measures to stimulate business activity n push down the Japanese currency. But this hasn't translated into solid export growth.
Japan's export growth in recent months has been more subdued than that of its Asian rivals, pointing to structural changes in the economy that government policies may not be able to rectify. Once dominant in the global market, Japanese manufacturers have been increasingly losing ground. Mr. Abe's cheap yen policy, which lead to a 20% depreciation in the yen, has helped corporate profits but has so far done little to revive manufacturing investments in Japan.

Price easily penetrated last Thur's 1.6657 trough to a fresh 4-month low at 1.6611 in NY.
. Looking at the hourly n daily charts, y'day's selloff confirms MT down-trend fm Jul's near 6-year peak of 1.7192 resumed n a stronger retracement of the LT uptrend fm 2009 trough at 1.3500 remains in force n as long as 1.6739 res holds, downside bias remains for further weakness to next daily minor sup at 1.6551, however, as hourly oscillators wud display minor bullish convergences on next fall, suggesting downside wud be ltd to 1.6523/10 (50% r of 1.5854-1.7192 n equality proj. of 1.7192-1.6812 fm 1.6890 respectively) n risk fm there has increased for a much-needed rebound.
