EUR/USD

The Euro continues its rally after consolidation around 1.3000 and weekly close just below the figure. Fresh strength through 1.3000, also daily Ichimoku cloud top and 1.3020/25, previous highs / Fib 76.4%, opens way towards trendline resistance at 1.3082 and psychological 1.3100 barrier. 10-day EMA at 1.3020 offers initial support, ahead of more significant 1.3000, while any deeper dips should be contained at 1.2970/60, higher platform / 50% of 1.2879/1.3046, to keep immediate bulls intact. Conversely, violation of 1.2960/40 support zone, would delay bulls in favor of stronger retracement towards 1.2920/00, next support area.

GBP/USD

Cable remains congested under strong 1.6050 barrier, following last Friday’s unsuccessful attempt to break higher. Near-term price action is entrenched within 1.6060 and 1.5960 range, as bulls run out of steam and indicators hold neutral tone. Upside break to open 1.6100, while penetration of 1.6000/1.5990 supports, would risk test of range floor and possibly open way for fresh weakness towards 1.5900.

USD/JPY

The pair lacked momentum for full reversal of 82.83/81.68 descend, as rally from 81.68 stalled at 82.74 and subsequent corrective action is under way. Weekly close above 82.00 keeps bullish structure intact for possible attempt at psychological 83.00 level, with 82.00 expected to contain. Only violation of 81.68 support would sideline bulls and allow for stronger corrective action towards 81.40, Fib 38.2% of 79.06/82.83 and 81.00, round figure support.

USD/CHF

The pair continues to trend lower, with series of loser lows, keeping focus at key near-term support and larger consolidation range floor at 0.9213. With fresh low being posted overnight and upside capped by descending 20 day EMA at 0.9260, bears remain fully in play. Negative studies on 1 and 4h chart support the notion. Only break above 0.9300, daily Ichimoku cloud base / Fib 61.8% of 0.9339/0.9242, would avert immediate downside risk.

EUR/USD

The Euro’s near-term bulls remain unobstructed, as the single currency clears trendline resistance at 1.3082 and psychological 1.3100 barrier, with fresh high posted at 1.3123, levels last time seen in mid-October. Strong bullish tone, shown on lower and larger timeframes studies, with strong momentum being established, keeps the key upside targets at 1.3138/70 in focus, as potential break here would signal fresh bullish phase of the larger uptrend from 1.2042, 24 July annual low that was interrupted by broader 1.3170/1.2660 correction. Immediate supports stand and 1.3070, 03 Dec high / 55 day EMA and 1.3046, 03 Dec intraday high / 04 Dec low.

GBP/USD

Near-term structure remains positive, as the pair regains 1.6100 handle, following pullback from yesterday’s fresh high at 1.6129 that found footstep at 1.6087. Weakening hourly studies, however, warn of possible hesitation and reversal in case of failure to clear recent high, also Fib 61.8% of 1.6308/1.5826 descend. The notion is also supported by 4h indicators that start to point lower. Loss of 1.6100/1.6087 would confirm pause in current rally and open way for corrective action towards strong supports at 1.6050 and 1.6000. Conversely, lift above 1.6129, is expected to expose key barriers and double-top at 1.6174/78.

USD/JPY

The pair averts immediate downside risk after finding support at 81.70, near-term range floor and subsequent bounce retraces near 61.8% of 82.83/81.70 downleg at 82.33. Hourly studies turned positive, however, still weak conditions on 4h chart, keep the downside risk in play. Unless 82.50/60 barriers are regained, likely near-term scenario would be further range trading, with focus at the lower boundaries of the range. Loss of 81.70 to signal stronger corrective action.

USD/CHF

The pair remains near-term consolidative phase, holding above fresh low at 0.9239 and key support and near-term target at 0.9213. With hourly studies losing ground again, as 0.9300 barrier capped corrective attempts and 4h indicators holding in the negative territory, downside remains in near-term focus. Attack at key support at 0.9213 is seen as likely scenario, with break here to open way for resumption of broader downtrend from 0.9970, interrupted by corrective / consolidative 0.9213/0.9511 phase.

EUR/USD

The Euro starts the week under increased pressure, despite Friday’s close above 1.2900 handle, as gap lower open tested levels below 50% of 1.2660/1.3125 ascend. With bears fully in control on lower timeframes studies, and failure to fill the gap, further weakness is seen as likely near-term scenario. Immediate target lies at 1.2839, Fib 61.8%, ahead of strong support zone at 1.2820, where daily Ichimoku cloud base and bull-trendline off 1.2042 lie. Overnight’s high at 1.2914, reinforced by hourly 200 day EMA, offer initial resistance, followed by 1.2950, 06 Dec low / 07 Dec intraday high / 55 day EMA and 1.2971, 07 Dec high / Fib 38.2% of 1.3125/1.2876.

GBP/USD

Cable’s near-term price action moves above psychological 1.6000 support, also last Friday’s low, with gains being capped by 4h 55 day EMA at 1.6040 zone. Negative hourly studies are lacking momentum for stronger recovery, as additional pressure comes from 4h indicators that moved into negative territory. This keeps immediate focus at the downside, as loss of 1.6000 handle is expected to open way for further retracement of 1.5826/1.6129 rally and confirm double-top pattern. Immediate downside targets lie at 1.5978/60, Fib 50% / 28 now low, below which to possibly target 1.5942/00, Fib 61.8% / 76.4% retracement. Overnight’s high at 1.6042, offers initial resistance, while break through 1.6060, Last Friday’s high and 50% of 1.6127/1.6000, would provide relief and signal basing attempt.

USD/JPY

Near-term tone shows signs of improvement, as hourly / 4h studies broke higher and the price attacked 82.80 barrier and near-term range –top. However, failure to clear 83.00 barrier, shows lack of momentum and keeps the range barrier intact for now. Holding above 82.20, 55 day EMA, would keep the prospect for possible fresh attempt high, while break below would shift near-term focus lower and expose 82.00 and 81.70, range floor.

The pair maintains near-term positive stance, following break above important 0.9300/40 barriers and extension higher that so far retraced over 50% of 0.9511/0.9239 decline at 0.9381. Overnight gap-higher opening and approach to important 0.9400/20 resistance zone, keeps the downside protected for now and looks for further retracement. However, extended hourly conditions may signal further consolidation, with 0.9320 zone, last Friday’s lows, reinforced by ascending 55 day EMA, expected to contain. Break of 0.9400 and 0.9420, 200 day MA, is required to resume recovery and signal triple-bottom.

Hourly studies are losing traction, while 4h 20 day EMA capping and indicators in the negative territory, with Stochastic reversing, seeing the downside still vulnerable. Failure to regain 1.3000 handle that would open way for stronger recovery, sees risk of retesting 1.2900/1.2876, to possibly trigger further retracement of larger 1.2660/1.3125 ascend.

Cable holds near-term positive tone, established on a strong bounce from 1.6000 support zone, despite yesterday’s rejection on approach to psychological 1.6100 barrier. While the near-term consolidation holds above 1.6060, previous resistance, scope exists for fresh attempt higher, with clearance of 1.6100 and more important 1.6129 double-top, required to confirm bullish stance. Otherwise, loss of 1.6060, also 55 day EMA, would see increased risk of re-visiting 1.6000 area. Hourly studies are losing momentum, while 4h indicators are about to break above the midlines, with regain of 1.6100, required to confirm.

Positive 4h chart structure keeps the upside in focus, with hourly studies starting to point higher and gaining bullish momentum. Regain of important 0.9400 barrier is seen as initial signal of bullish resumption, with break above 200 day MA at 0.9420 and previous peaks at 0.9430 zone, required to confirm. Conversely, loss of 0.9320/00 would revive bears and re-expose 0.9239 and key support at 0.9213.

Corrective pullback on overbought hourly studies, faces static support at 1.6060, also 50% of 1.6000/1.6121 ascend, seen as ideal reversal point, as 4h studies hold bullish momentum and keep the upside favored. However, clear break above 1.6127/29 double-top is required to confirm and open next barrier at 1.6174. Increased downside risk would be seen on slide below 1.6040 zone, 07/10 Dec highs / Fib 61.8% that would signal triple-top formation and expose lower targets.

The notion is supported by descending 4h chart studies that are breaking into negative territory. Slide below 0.9300 to confirm lower top at 0.9381 and re-focus downside targets at 0.9254 and 0.9239. Alternative scenario sees downside rejection above 0.9300 that would keep hopes of fresh strength and possible attempt at 0.9380/0.9400, with regain of minimum 0.9367, yesterday’s high, required to confirm.

EUR/USD

The single currency is taking a pause in recent strong rally, as psychological 1.3300 level proves to be tough barrier.

Negative structure on hourly chart, with price holding below descending 20 day EMA and 4h indicators reversing from overbought zone, see potential for further retracement, with 1.6200, round figure / near 38.2% of 1.6000/1.6305, seen as next downside target, with break here to confirm near-term top and open way towards 1.6100.

Reversing 4h and overbought daily studies are supporting such scenario, with close below 84.00, required to confirm. Conversely, regain of previous top at 84.32, would avert immediate downside risk.

EUR/USD

Strong rally from 1.3000 base brought near-term bulls fully in play, as the price surged above important 1.3300 barrier. Weekly close above the latter confirms positive sentiment, with fresh extension higher testing next target and psychological 1.3400 barrier overnight. Positive daily structure sees scope for further retracement of larger 1.4938/1.2042, 2011/2012 descend, with Feb 2012 peak at 1.3485, along with 50% retracement and psychological 1.3500 resistance, seen next. From the other side, overextended conditions on one and four-hour chart, with hourlies already pointing lower, suggest corrective pullback. Immediate supports lie at 1.3350/30, hourly 20 day EMA / Friday’s intraday low, ahead of more significant 1.3300 zone, where dips should be ideally contained. Any reversal under 1.3247 higher platform, would delay bulls.

USD/CHF

The pair remains under pressure, following last week’s corrective attempt failure under strong 0.9200 barrier, psychological resistance and 20/55 day EMA’s bearish crossover. Subsequent reversal towards initial 0.9100 support, keeps bears in play, as the price looks for test of 0.9080 base, loss of which would trigger fresh extension of larger downtrend from 0.9970 and expose 0.9041/00, next downside targets. Any recovery under 0.9200, would be described as corrective, while only break here would provide relief.
