EUR/USD

Negative sentiment continues to drive the bloc currency lower, with succession of fresh lows posted on a daily basis. The price approaches our initial target at 1.2200, ahead of 1.2150, June 2010 low, loss of which to possibly open way towards psychological 1.2000 level in a short-term. Negative near-term studies keep the downside pressure, with descending 55 day EMA, currently at 1.2265, maintaining the downtrend. Any corrective action will face very strong barriers at 1.2300/35 and only break here will ease bear-pressure.

Res: 1.2245, 1.2265, 1.2300, 1.2333

Sup: 1.2200, 1.2150, 1.2115, 1.2100

GBP/USD

The near-term structure turns negative after yesterdays’s upside rejection at 1.5576 and sharp slide that took out 1.5500 and cracked more significant 1.5460/50, short-term base. Clear break here to open 1.5400, however, overextended hourly conditions suggest corrective bounce preceding fresh weakness. Initial barriers lie at 1.5500/15, with improvement of the larger-picture negative outlook, requiring regain of yesterday’s high at 1.5576.

Res: 1.5480, 1.5500, 1.5515, 1.5550

Sup: 1.5447, 1.5400, 1.5320, 1.5300

USD/JPY

The pair erases its strong gains after yesterday’s rally from 79.12 tested 79.80 barrier and accelerated gains on BOJ’s overnight release, spiking at 79.94, before sharp slide to the lower levels of 79.00/80.00 range. As 80.00 offers very strong barrier, near-term focus turns lower again. Violation of 79..12/00 support would signal fresh bear-phase and expose 78.60 next.

Sup: 79.20, 79.12, 79.00, 78.80

AUD/USD

The Aussie’s latest rally off 1.1050 higher base, failed to clear 200 day MA at 1.0270, with weak jobs data from Australia, released overnight, accelerating losses. Fresh weakness under 1.0225/00 support zone, dented key near-term support 1.0150, also 50% of 0.9968/1.0326, dipping to 1.0135 so far, ahead of Fib 61.8% and figure support at 1.0100. Corrective bounce on oversold conditions, signalled on hourly chart, faces barriers at 1.0180/1.0200, while only regain of 1.0240 would turn near-term focus higher and re-focus 200 day MA at 1.0270.

EUR/USD

The hourly studies are running out of steam, following last Friday’s strong rally, as risk returned to play. Positive sentiment is fading after weekly gap higher opening, with gap being filled and price testing initial support and higher platform at 1.2225, also 55 day EMA. With hourly indicators started to point lower, limited upside action could be expected, as bears would gain pace on loss of 1.2225/00 supports that will re-expose near-term double bottom at 1.2170 zone. Larger picture’s outlook, however, maintains negative tone, as indicators still hold in red territory, despite some movements higher, still unable to improve the structure. Regain of 1.2290/1.2300, 07 July high / Fib 23.6% of 1.2691/1.2161 descend and 1.2330, 10 July high / 55 day EMA, required to confirm near-term double-bottom and allow for stronger recovery. Otherwise, resumption of broader downtrend through 1.2150, would be looking for test of 1.2000 zone in the short-term.

Res: 1.2243, 1.2254, 1.2270, 1.2300

Sup: 1.2225, 1.2200, 1.2161, 1.2150

GBP/USD

The pair’s strong bounce off 1.5400 base, where near-term support was found, prevented the price form further slide, as rally tested key barrier at 1.5600, also Fib 61.8% of 1.5721/1.5392 downleg. Overextended conditions on hourly chart now see risk of corrective pullback, with indicators pointing lower and initial support at 1.5576 being cracked. Ideally, support should be found above psychological 1.5500, also close to Fib 38.2% of 1.5392/1.5592 upleg and ascending 55 day EMA, as studies on 4H chart broke above the midlines and see potential for further recovery. Break above 1.5600 is required to confirm. On the downside, potential loss of 1.5500 handle would risk return to 1.5460 and 1.5400.

Res: 1.5576, 1.5600, 1.5650, 1.5700

Sup: 1.5545, 1.5515, 1.5500, 1.5460

USD/JPY

The near-term structure remains negative, as the price dents the lower boundary of short-term range, also 200 day MA at 79.00. Steady descend, following the latest upside rejection at 80.00 and indicators in the negative territory on lower and larger timeframes, see risk of clear break below the range, to establish fresh near-term direction and expose initial supports at 78.60 and 78.00. Descending 20 day EMA at 79.28, maintains near-term downtrend, while only break above 79.50, range’s midpoint and 55 day EMA, would delay bears.

Sup: 78.95, 78.80, 78.60, 78.00

USD/CHF

Overall bulls remain in play, as the pair undergoes corrective action, on overbought 4h chart conditions. Initial support at 0.9800 zone, so far contains dips, however, descending indicators on 4h chart do not rule out further correction, with reversal ideally seen at /above 0.9740 higher platform and ascending 55 day EMA. Daily structure remains bullish, with break above the latest peak at 0.9871 to open 0.9900 and 0.9950, Fib 61.8% of larger 1.1730/0.7067 descend.

EUR/USD

The risk on mode, established last Friday, continues to drive the bloc currency higher, on a bounce from 1.2160 zone double bottom. As important 1.2300 barrier has been cracked, though the price unable to hold gains due to overbought hourly conditions, corrective pullback is expected to precede fresh push higher. Initial support at 1.2270/60 zone, should ideally contain reversal, however, further easing towards 1.2240 area, 50% / 55 day EMA, is not ruled out. Indicators on 4h chart are attempting above the midlines and keep the upside in focus, but break above 1.2300 barrier, also 55 day EMA that turns sideways, is required to confirm and open way towards 1.2335, 10 July high and 1.2366, 05 July low / Fib 38.2% of 1.2691/1.2161 descend, to confirm near-term double bottom and trigger stronger recovery. The pair awaits ZEW releases from EU and Germany that are due later today and Bernanke’s testimony, key event of the day.

GBP/USD

Extends its three-day strong rally off 1.5400 base, as clearance of important 1.5600 barrier accelerated gains through 1.5630, Fib 61.8% of 1.5776/1.5392 downleg, to briefly break above bear-trendline at 1.5655 and hit 1.5677 so far. Hourly studies are toppish, with RSI emerging of overbought zone, as the price moves lower on corrective pullback. Dips should not exceed 1.5600 handle, where yesterday’s intraday high, Fib 38.2% of 1.5521/1.5677 upleg and 55 day EMA lie, for fresh push higher and test of another significant hurdles at 1.5700/21.

USD/JPY

The pair’s clear break below key 79.00 support zone, confirms negative short-term structure, as initial support at 78.80 has been taken out and losses approached the next significant level at 78.60. Bounce higher is seen corrective, as initial barrier at 79.00, previous support, reinforced by descending 55 day EMA, caps for now. Hourly studies, despite some movements higher, hold in the negative territory, with more negative tone seen on 4h chart. Downside extension through 78.60 would open way towards 78.00 initially, with test of key short-term support at 77.65, seen on a break. Only regain of 79.30/50 zone, would put bears on hold.

The pair remains in a near-term negative mode, extending reversal off 0.9871, 13 July high and approaching important support at 0.9740. Dips were contained at 0.9755, 55 day EMA, as the price undergoes the fourth, corrective wave that should ideally been capped under 0.9800, with the fifth-one expected to stretch towards 0.9700 zone, Fib 38.2% of 0.9461/0.9871 upleg, before bulls reassert. Larger picture’s uptrend, however, remains intact and keeps focus at the upside.

EUR/USD

Repeated failure at strong 1.2300 barrier resulted in fresh fall that dipped so far to 1.2215, near Fib 61.8% of 1.2161/1.2315 and just above key downside level and trendline support at 1.2200 that was initially seen containing dips. However, negative hourly studies and indicators on 4h chart pointing lower, with price action moving below 20/55 EMA, seeing potential for further weakness. Loss of 1.2200 to open 1.2188/74, ahead of key ones at 1.2161/50, loss of which to resume longer-term downtrend. At the upside, today’s intraday low and 20/55 day EMA’s crossover at 1.2265, offer strong barrier, ahead of key 1.2300/15 zone.

GBP/USD

Today’s upside rejection under key near-term barrier at 1.5677 has triggered fresh slide that cracked our initial support at 1.5600, dipping to 1.5580 so far. However, holding above 1.5550, yesterday’s higher low, keeps short-term uptrend intact for possible fresh attempt higher but still weak hourly studies and price holding below descending 20 day EMA at 1.5630 zone, sees risk of further easing. Upside break above 1.5630 is required to improve near-term structure and re-focus 1.5667/77 highs, otherwise, risk of losing 1.5550 and extension towards psychological 1.5500, also Fib 61.8% of 1.5392/1.5677 upleg, would be the likely scenario.

USD/CHF

Bounce of 0.9758, today’s low key near-term support zone, averts immediate downside risk, as the pair surges above 0.9800 barrier. Improved hourly studies are supportive for possible attack at key upside points at 0.9850/70 zone, as 61.8% of 0.9871/0.9750 downleg has been retraced so far. However, still weak conditions on 4h chart do not rule out upside rejection and fresh slide towards 0.9750 base, where 55 day EMA keeps the downside protected for now. Break here to open fresh phase lower and expose to expose 0.9714, Fib 38.2% and 0.9700, round figure support next.

AUD/USD

The pair’s short-term price action off 1.0100, 12 July low, has fully retraced 05/12 July 1.0326/1.0100 corrective downleg. Consolidation phase on extended short-term conditions is now under way, with yesterday’s break and close above 200 day MA, being supportive for further extension higher, however, clear break above 1.0326, required to confirm and open 1.0368, Fib 61.8% of 1.0855/0.9579, broader downtrend. Immediate support lies at 1.0280 zone, consolidation floor / 55 day EMA, while only loss of 1.0250/40 zone, 16 July high / 17 July low / Fib 38.32%, would soften near-term tone.

EUR/USD

The Euro failed to clear strong 1.2300 barrier, also 55 day EMA that capped the past two day price action, after today’s rally through 1.2300/15 failed at 1.2322 and subsequent pullback brought the price back under 1.2300 handle. Fresh slide below 20 day EMA, dips to 1.2260, Fib 38.2% of 1.2161/1.2322 ascend so far. As hourly indicators turned lower and 1.2300 proved to be tough barrier, more focus is seen towards the downside. Next supports lie at 1.2241 and 1.2223, 50% / 61.8% retracement, with more significant 1.2215/00 zone, yesterday’s low / bull trendline / round figure support, loss of which would signal an end of short-term corrective phase. On the upside, regain of 1.2335 is required to bring bulls fully in play. Larger picture’s bearish outlook, however, remains intact, with downside targets at 1.2150 and extension towards 1.2000 being in a short-term outlook.

GBP/USD

The near-term outlook remains positive, as the pair approached initial 1.5700 barrier, with gains being interrupted by dip to 1.5635, where 55 day EMA contained slide. Hourly studies remain supportive, as the price broke and close above 1.5776/1.5721 bear-trendline, however, toppish 4h conditions, with indicators in a sideways mode, see risk of possible further easing, as the pair holds below strong 1.5700/50 resistance zone, where 200 day MA stands. Loss of initial support at 1.5600 would increase downside risk towards 1.5580 and 1.5550.

The pair remains at the back foot, as brief bounce through 79.00 barrier, also 200 day MA, failed at 79.15, with subsequent weakness, posting fresh 2 ½ month low at 78.45. This brings short-term bears back in play, as studies on lower timeframes hold in the negative territory. However, overextended hourly conditions, see potential for corrective action, with initial barrier at 78.67, previous low / 20 day EMA being tested so far, ahead of more significant 79.00 and 79.15 levels that are expected to cap for now.

Near-term basing attempt is seen at 0.9750, where 55 day EMA keeps the downside protected for now, despite today’s spike lower. Quick recovery and regain of levels close to 0.9800 handle, sees potential for further extension higher, however, clear break above here and regain of minimum 0.9828, yesterday’s high / Fib 61.8% of 0.9871/0.9745, is required, as near-term structure still holds negative elements. On the downside, the main risk is seen on a break below 0.9750 platform that would signal a resumption of short-term corrective pullback from 0.9871 and expose 0.9700 zone next.

EUR/USD

Comes under pressure again in early hours of Europe, as corrective/consolidative action off yesterday’s fresh low at 1.2067 failed to cover the gap, staying capped at 1.2140 zone. As hourly indicators started to point lower and price moves below 20 day EMA, immediate risk is seen on a break below 1.2100 that would open 1.2067 for retest, with possible continuation of bear-trend to test our target at 1.2000. Recovery above 1.2150/80 zone, however, would signal stronger correction, with 1.2200, 50% of 1.2322/1.2067 and 1.2228, 19 July low, to come in focus.

The pair undergoes near-term corrective/consolidative action, following two day slide that briefly broke below 1.5500, psychological support, yesterday. Not much upside action has been shown so far, as short-term structure maintains bearish tone and descending 20 day EMA limits the upside at 1.5530 zone. Regain of minimum 1.5550/80 is required to avert immediate downside risk that sees scope for test of 1.5460, 06 July a low and 1.5420, trendline support, ahead of more significant 1.5400 zone.

USD/JPY regained some ground off fresh low at 77.93, posted yesterday, but gains were so far capped by descending 55 day EMA at 78.45, well below 78.80 and more significant 79.00 barrier, reinforced by 200 day SMA. Holding above 78.00 handle, would signal further range-trade, however, negative tone that dominates on lower timeframes, keeps focus at the downside, with 77.65 seen as short-term target.

Overall bullish tone keeps the upside favored, with clearance of 0.9950 to open parity level next.

Negative sentiment continues to push the price towards our target and psychological support at 1.2000, with fresh low at 1.2042, seen so far. Yesterday’s close below 1.2100 and indicators below their midlines, keep the downside favored. However, bullish divergence, forming on hourly chart, may signal corrective action before attempting at 1.2000, with 1.2100/40 zone offering initial resistance, ahead of more important 1.2200 zone, break of which is required to provide relief.
