EUR/USD

The single currency remains within the range of 1.3000 and 1.2842, with the upper barrier being pressured. Sideways movements are seen in past few sessions after Monday’s gap lower opening, with dips being so far contained by 200 day MA. Hourly structure is positive that sees potential attack at 1.3000 barrier, also 61.8%% of 1.3106/1.2842 fall likely, as break here is seen as a trigger for more bullish action and will signal a bottom. Conversely, loss of 1.2900 handle, will turn near-term outlook bearish.

Sup: 1.2927, 1.2900, 1.2879, 1.2842

GBP/USD

Cable remains in a sideways mode, holding within 1.5070/1.5140 range, with yesterday’s spikes in both directions, seen as a noise. Flat hourly studies favor further directionless trading, while structure on 4h chart holds positive tone, as the price action is supported by ascending 20 day EMA and underpinned by 20/55 EMA’s bullish crossover. Full retracement of 1.5220/1.4830 descend and break higher is needed to confirm bottom for more significant rebound, otherwise, the downside would remain vulnerable. Key support and breakpoint lies at 1.5000, below which, bears will take control.

Sup: 1.5070, 1.5026, 1.5000, 1.4980

USD/JPY

The pair tested 96.00 barrier, following break above trendline resistance at 95.35 and previous recovery high at 95.73. The near-term uptrend has been established, as 4h indicators broke above their midlines that opens way for further recovery, with 76.4% of entire 96.70/94.30 fall being retraced so far. Pullback on overbought hourlies, should ideally find support at 95.70/50 zone, before fresh extension higher, with sustained break above 96.00, to attract 96.50/70 highs for retest. Bull trendline off 94.30 low, stands at 95.20 and only break here would revive bears.

AUD/USD

No changes in Aussie’s price action seen in the past few sessions, as the upside remains capped at 1.04 zone. Lack of bullish momentum, so far limits recovery rally from 1.0114 at Fib 61.8% of 1.0597/1.0114 descend, however, the lower boundary of near-term congestion is additionally supported by ascending 200 day MA. Daily studies remain positive and keep the upside favored, while 4h indicators are losing traction and hourlies being neutral. Breakpoints stand at 1.0412 and 1.0342.

EUR/USD

The Euro fell sharply yesterday after unsuccessful attempt above 1.3000, with 1.3047 double-top left, before the pair spiraled lower. Loss of previous low and near-term range floor, as well as close below 200 day MA, would be a signal of further weakness, as a part of broader downtrend from 1.3710, annual high. Bounce from fresh low at 1.2826, posted yesterday, is so far seen corrective and triggered by oversold hourly conditions, while 4h indicators maintain bearish tone and 20/55 day EMA’s bearish crossover, keeping the downside pressured. Rallies could extend to 1.2940/50 zone, 50% retracement of yesterday’s fall, before bears re-assert. Only regain of 1.2980 would bring some more positive tone and delay bears. As the downside remains vulnerable, possible penetration of 1.2800 psychological support and low of Sep 2012, would open way towards the next significant levels at 1.2679/60, Fib 61.8% of 1.2042/1.3710 rally and Nov 2012 low.

GBP/USD

Cable maintains positive tone, correcting the recent rally that posted fresh high at 1.5259 yesterday. Cracking the previous very strong support and med-term range bottom, now reversed to resistance, suggests that further recovery is likely. As the pullback from 1.5259 was contained by bull-trendline off 1.4830 and 50% retracement of 1.5026/1.5259 upleg, 4h studies see room for fresh gains and attack at initial 1.5259/67 targets that would open psychological 1.5300 barrier and 1.5320, 21 Feb high. However, near-term downside risk is still present, as hourly studies are weak, with violation of the trendline at 1.5162 and yesterday’s low at 1.5142, to trigger fresh weakness and expose immediate targets at 1.5115/00, Fib 61.8% / round figure support.

USD/JPY

The pair dipped further after completing bearish pennant and fresh weakness extended to 93.52, over 50% of 90.85/96.70 rally. Firm bearish tone, seen on 4h chart studies, keeps the downside favored for now, with 20/55 day EMA’s bearish crossover, pressuring. Corrective bounce off 93.52, faces trendline resistance / 55 day EMA at 94.60, as initial resistance, with any further extension higher, seen capped under 95.00 barrier. Continuation of bear-trend through 93.52, to open 93.00/92.90, Fib 61.8% / 05 Mar low.

AUD/USD

The pair remains steady and continues to post fresh highs, following break above 1.0400 congestion. Fresh high at 1.0478, posted yesterday, comes under pressure, following shallow consolidation, with near-term focus at psychological 1.0500 resistance and 1.0526, 03 Jan high. Near-term studies are well positioned, with hourly RSI/MACD bearish divergence, so far being ignored by the price action.

EUR/USD

The Euro held within tight range during the Asian session, holding below 1.3100 barrier, despite 30-pips gap higher weekly opening. Bounce of recent range bottom at 1.3000 was rejected at 1.3125, Fib 61.8% of 1.3200/1.3000 descend, with Friday’s fall and close below 1.3100, keeping the downside vulnerable. Near-term studies are negatively aligned, as the price was unable to clear 20 day EMA. Immediate support lays at 1.3045, Fri/Thu lows and break lower to re-focus psychological 1.3000, key near-term support. Formation of diamond pattern on a daily chart, signals reversal that requires break below 1.3000 and 1.2972, 50% retracement of 1.2744/1.3200 ascend, to be confirmed. Any bounce through 1.3100/25, would improve near-term structure, however, clearance of 1.3200 would bring bulls fully in play.

GBP/USD

Cable ended the week under heavy pressure, with negative fundamentals triggering sharp fall. Losses extended overnight and tested near-term base at 1.5200 zone, signaling further weakness. Immediate target and strong support lays at 1.5175, Fib 61.8% of 1.5032/1.5410 rally / daily Ichimoku cloud base, with negative tone on the lower timeframes and double-top left at 1.5380, last week’s highs, supporting the notion. Bearish 20/55 day EMA’s crossover at 1.5280 zone, keeps the upside limited for now

USD/JPY

The pair flirts with psychological 100.00 barrier again, as strong bounce of last week’s correction low at 95.80, extended close to 100.00. The barrier is strong, as previous attempt here failed and overbought hourly studies suggest hesitation. Indicators on 4h chart, however, see room for test and break above 100.00 barrier, to open next significant barrier at 101.43, Apr 2009 high. Corrective dips should be contained by 99.00/98.50 support zone, to keep near-term bulls intact.

AUD/USD

The pair remains under pressure at the beginning of the weeks, continuing broader weakness, sparked on upside rejection at 1.0581 on 11 Apr. Marginally fresh low at 1.0265 was posted overnight, with near-term bears being firmly in play and price being limited by descending 20 day EMA. As daily studies broke in the negative territory, further weakness towards 1.0224/00, Fib 76.4% of 1.0114/1.0581 / round figure support, could be anticipated. Any corrective action faces solid resistance at 1.0357, last Friday’s high, while penetration through 1.0400 barrier, is requires to ease immediate bear-pressure.

EUR/USD

The remains weak, following yesterday’s fall that cracked 1.3000 support and dipped to 1.2972, where the pair found temporary footstep at 50% retracement of 1.2744/1.3200 rally. With quiet overnight trading, concentrated around 1.3000 handle, near-term focus is shifted towards the downside, as 1 and 4h studies hold negative tone and daily diamond pattern has been completed. Penetration through 1.2972 would look for another significant support zone at 1.2930/20, 200 day MA / Fib 61.8% retracement. The upside is seen capped at 1.3080/1.3100, while clearance of 1.3130 barrier would turn focus towards the upside.

GBP/USD

Cable continues to trade within 1.5200/1.5300 range, as yesterday’s fresh attempt through the near-term base failed. Near-term studies remain negatively aligned and keep 1.5200 in focus, while 1.5286/1.5300 highs are expected to limit the upside attempts. From the other side, larger picture bulls remain in play, as pullback from 1.5410 high, found support at 50% of 1.4830/1.5410 ascend and bull trendline off 1.4830 at 1.5200 zone. Violation of the latter would weaken the daily structure and sideline bulls from 1.4830, in favor of further reversal.

USD/JPY

The pair recovered most of 22/23 Apr reversal, when repeated failure on approach to 100.00 barrier triggered fresh weakness. With dips finding support at 98.50 and fresh strength through 99.00, approaching 100.00 barrier, near-term bulls are fully in play. Yesterday’s price action was briefly interrupted by news that triggered increased volatility, but price quickly returned to its initial direction. Studies on 1 and 4h charts maintain positive tone and keep the upside favored for another attempt at psychological 100.00 barrier, while 99.00 offers initial support and 98.50, reinforced by ascending 55 day EMA, expected to protect the downside.

The pair remains under pressure, as recovery attempt off yesterday’s fresh low at 1.0220, stayed limited under initial 1.0300 barrier. Downside acceleration, seen overnight and triggered by weaker than expected Australian data, maintain negative sentiment for renewed attempt at 1.0220 and psychological 1.0200 support, ahead of med-term range support at 1.0114, low of 04 Mar 2013.

EUR/USD

The Euro holds above 1.3000 but still directionless, moving within 1.2950/1.3100 range. Slight improvements seen on overnight’s gap-higher opening and upside aligned hourly studies, keep the immediate barrier at 1.3100 in near-term focus. Break above 1.3100, also 4h triangle resistance, would avert the downside risk, in favor of extension towards next barrier at 1.3127, 19 Apr high, to confirm near-term base at 1.2950 and possibly re-open key 1.3200 resistance. Psychological 1.3000 support keeps the near-term price action supported for now, with any penetration lower, to weaken the structure.

Immediate barrier lies at 1.5570, 100 day MA, ahead of 1.5605, 50% retracement of 1.6380/1.4830 downleg. Short-term studies remain positive but overbought that may signal hesitation on approach to the next targets. Previous peak and last Friday’s low at 1.5410/17 zone, offer solid support and should contain corrective dips.

The pair remains under pressure, as last Friday’s fresh weakness and weekly close below 98.00 handle and overnight’s extension to 97.34, Fib 61.8% of 95.80/99.87 upleg, confirm near-term bears being in play. Corrective rally on oversold hourlies, faces initial resistance s at 98.00/30, with previous low and 50% retracement of 99.74/97.35 at 98.50, reinforced by 20/55 day EMA’s, bearish crossover seen as ideal cap. With near-term structure being negatively aligned, further downside is seen favored after the correction, with 97.20/00 seen as next targets. Conversely, extension above 98.50 would ease bear-pressure, however, regain of 99.00 barrier is required to shift focus higher and re-expose recent highs and psychological 100 barrier.

EUR/USD

The Euro extended recovery rally to briefly break above 1.3100 handle, however, gains were limited, as the price action was capped at 1.3115, failing to clear the barrier on repeated attempt. Pullback under 1.3100, could be seen as corrective, while price holds above 1.3050 zone, 50% of 1.2989/1.3115 upleg / 20 day EMA, as 4h indicators maintain positive tone, with higher low seen as good base for possible fresh attempt above 1.3100/15, to possibly open key 1.3200 barrier. From the other side, slide below 1.3050, would risk return to 1.3000 base and keep the near-term range top intact.

Cable enters corrective mode, following yesterday’s rally through 1.5500 barrier that reached 1.5544 high so far. Daily close slightly below 1.5500 and fresh extension lower that tests 55 day EMA, risks deeper pullback, as hourly studies moved into negative territory. Further easing would face Fibonacci supports at 1.5444 (38.2%) and more significant 1.5410, 50% retracement of 1.5281/1.5544 rally and previous peak, loss of which to sideline near-term bulls.

While above the latter, scope exists for fresh attempt at 1.3200, initial resistance and extension higher, as 4h structure is positive and favors further bulls, as a part of larger recovery from 1.2950. Conversely, loss of 1.3125 and psychological 1.3100, also 50% of 1.2950/1.3241, would signal top at 1.3241 and bring bears back to play.

Positive structure on lower timeframes keeps the upside in focus, as clearance of 1.5605 is seen as a trigger for fresh extension of recovery rally from 1.4830.
