EUR/USD

1.5850


EXPECTATION

THE RISK

SUPPORT AND RESISTANCE

Bullish trend-line held, it stands at 1.5785 this morning, while it holds the Euro is bid and a new rise towards 1.60 is likely, strong hurdle to overcome is 1.5885.

A break of the 6-week trend at 1.5785 risks short-term dip to 1.5725, a low weekly close is bearish towards 1.5350.

GBP/USD

1.9910


EXPECTATION

THE RISK

SUPPORT AND RESISTANCE

Cable seems to make a bearish break here this morning. Closing the hour underneath of 1.9925 is bearish for 1.9830 immediately.

Watch out for a possible reversal, an hourly close above 1.9935 is firmly bullish for the day, 1.9960 intra-day key, a break there leads to new highs.

2.0100 STRONG


USD/JPY

106.30


EXPECTATION

THE RISK

SUPPORT AND RESISTANCE

It traded up as expected and while we can even push on for 107.35 we think the move will slow and the pair trade sideways 105.85 / 106.60

A fall underneath of 105.85 and low weekly close keeps the Dollar trapped and lower level will be likely next week.

106.15 MINOR

106.60 MINOR

105.85 STRONG

106.90 MINOR

105.50 STRONG

107.60 STRONG


USD/CHF

1.0200


EXPECTATION

THE RISK

SUPPORT AND RESISTANCE

We remain bullish for 1.03, 1.0245 initial resistance that may spoil the bullish view.

Short-term trend at 1.0195, an hourly break there stops the bullish view and we should remain in range 1.01 / 1.0250

1.0195 TREND

1.0215 MINOR

1.0135 STRONG

1.0245 STRONG

1.0100 STRONG

1.0320 STRONG


XAU/USD

961.00


EXPECTATION

THE RISK

SUPPORT AND RESISTANCE

It will remain volatile, a $10 or even $20 move up or down is possible, key levels to watch are 935 support and 972 resistance.

Intraday we prefer to SELL tops between 963 and 968. A weekly close above 973 keeps gold bid

952 MINOR

965 STRONG

946 STRONG

972 KEY

935 KEY

988 STRONG
