Gold

Trading on a side way action until yesterday’s evening drop towards 1610 gave bulls the momentum to re-enter the market and lift the Gold towards 1620 resistance. Breaking that resistance would open further upside to previous highs of 1627-29 zone and maybe higher towards the upper range of the sideway medium term trend to 1640. On the other hand, holding 1620 would trigger bears to test 1610 and 1600 next, which might open further drop towards 1590 and 1582

USD/CHF

Acceleration of losses was seen on a break below important 0.9700 and 0.9655 supports, with loss of 0.9600 handle, extending decline to 0.9550 so far, where daily Ichimoku cloud base and 90 day MA offers near-term footstep. Corrective bounce on overextended short-term studies has been signaled on a hourly chart, however, not much of action to be expected as long as important barriers at 0.9655/0.9700 stay intact and only violation of this zone would sideline short-term bears. On the downside, break below 0.9550, to expose figure support at 0.9500, then 0.9461/20, 19/18 June higher base.

Res: 0.9584, 0.9600, 0.9617, 0.9655

Sup: 0.9550, 0.9500, 0.9461, 0.9420

EUR/USD

The Euro remains in defensive since posting fresh seven-week high at 1.2588 last week, with one-month rally being backed by hopes of ECB’s action. The initial strength may be further losing momentum, as the single currency slips below psychological 1.2500 level. Today’s weakness dipped to 1.2464, Fib 38.2% of near-term 1.2254/1.2588 rally, just ahead of 1.2440/30 break point, also near 50% retracement and 55 day EMA, loss of which would spark further weakness. Negative near-term studies keep the downside favored, as immediate barrier at 1.2500 stays impact. Only lift above 1.2534, yesterday’s high, would delay bears.

Res: 1.2500, 1.2534, 1.2560, 1.2588

Sup: 1.2464, 1.2441, 1.2430, 1.2406

GBP/USD

The pair continues to trend lower, as a part of near-term corrective pullback off 1.5911, last week’s high. The slide touched important 1.5750/40 zone, where previous high / Fib 38.2% of 1.5489/1.5911 upleg and bull trendline off 1.5489 lie, as initial support and previous range top at 1.5770 zone has been lost. Potential break below 1.5740 would be seen as a trigger for stronger reversal and keep the upside targets sidelined, in favor of test of 1.5715/00, 200 day MA / 50% retracement, as near-term technicals remain weak. Immediate resistance lies at 1.5800, reinforced by descending 55 day EMA, while only regain of 1.5830 zone would provide relief.

Res: 1.5800, 1.5830, 1.5850, 1.5868

Sup: 1.5753, 1.5740, 1.5715, 1.5700

USD/JPY

The near-term price action is running out of steam, as initial target at 79.00 stays intact, after recovery rally being capped at 78.80 zone, where 55 day EMA limited the upside. Fresh slide under bull trendline off 78.27 low, despite dips being contained at initial 78.45 support, sees more risk towards the downside, as near-term structure remains weak. Loss of 78.44/36 to expose 78.00 base for retest, while only lift above 79.00 would be a signal of further recovery towards 79.65 peak.

Res: 78.70, 78.83, 78.96, 79.12

Sup: 78.44, 78.35, 78.27, 78.15

USD/CHF

Corrective rally off 0.9537, 23 Aug low, extends gains to 0.9634 so far, with positive near-term structure seeing potential for test of important 0.9660 zone, 22 Aug lower high/ 55 day EMA and 50% retracement of 0.9766/0.9537 downleg, break above which to confirm near-term base and open way for stronger recovery towards 0.9700, next target. However, negative larger picture, sees the current move as corrective part of larger downtrend from 0.9970 and unless firm break above 0.9700 zone, also bear-trendline off 0.9970, is seen, risk of lower top and fresh weakness, remains high.

Res: 0.9634, 0.9655, 0.9679, 0.9700

Sup: 0.9610, 0.9580, 0.9557, 0.9537
