Forex Day Trading

EURUSD Outlook

Yesterday the EURUSD bearish momentum seemed very limited. The trend line support on daily chart around 1.4695/1.4703 level should be the key level at this phase. A break to the downside could trigger further bearish scenario towards 1.4590. Initial resistance is seen at 1.4757 followed by 1.4807. CCI in neutral area on daily chart.

EURUSD Daily Supports and Resistances:

  • S1= 1.4696
  • S2= 1.4639
  • S3= 1.4584
  • R1= 1.4808
  • R2= 1.4863
  • R3= 1.4920

GBPUSD Outlook
Yesterday the GBPUSD made indecisive movement by opened and closed at almost the same price (1.8518 and 1.8526). My model goes mixed with neutral bias. Immediate support is seen at 1.8450 followed by 1.8405. CCI seems rejecting the -100 line on 4h and daily chart suggesting the pair might have a strong support area at this phase. However, I think the pressure to the downside is not over yet.

GBPUSD Daily Supports and Resistances:

  • S1= 1.8424
  • S2= 1.8322
  • S3= 1.8239
  • R1= 1.8609
  • R2= 1.8692
  • R3= 1.8794

USDJPY Outlook
The USDJPY bullish momentum was rejected yesterday. The pair bottomed at 109.02 and closed at 109.30. Resistance level at 110.66 area seems to be a key level at this phase. My model goes mixed with neutral bias. Immediate support is seen at 108.90 followed by 108.50. Initial resistance at 109.80. CCI in neutral area on all 3 time frames (hourly, 4h, daily).

USDJPY Daily Supports and Resistances:

  • S1= 108.78
  • S2= 108.27
  • S3= 107.52
  • R1= 110.04
  • R2= 110.79
  • R3= 111.30

USDCHF Outlook
The USDCHF is moving in ranging market between 1.1030 and 1.0840. We need a breakout to find a clearer direction. Immediate support is seen at 1.0950 followed by 1.0920. Initial resistance at 1.1030. An upside break from that level could trigger further bullish scenario towards 1.1105 area. CCI in neutral area in all 3 time frames (hourly, 4h, daily).

USDCHF Daily Supports and Resistances:

  • S1= 1.0907
  • S2= 1.0860
  • S3= 1.0798
  • R1= 1.1016
  • R2= 1.1078

Currency Technical Analysis

EUR/USD


Resistance : 1,4760-70/ 1,4800-10/ 1,4860/ 1,4900-10/ 1,4950/ 1,5000
Support : 1,4660-70/ 1,4630/ 1,4590-00/ 1,4550/ 1,4500

Comment : Euro formed an upward reaction last week, after the lows at 1.4600 area, reaching the area of 1.4900 on Thursday. Bears gained momentum at those levels, as expected, and euro was led towards 1.4700 area again. A move resumption to lower levels is possible, as we will see in the chart analysis below.
After such a sharp decline, which didn’t give much opportunity to be followed, the first reaction towards 1.4900-1.5000 was expected to meet sellers, as we had mentioned in our analysis last week.
We should keep in mind that the target that emerges from the double top formation, which was breached downwards, is found at 1.4500-50 area, while the basic trend line that links 2005 lows is reached at 1.4450 area.As we have mentioned in our previous analysis, the ranges for the decline are found at 1.4550 area, and the most extreme scenario-according to current facts- would be a reach of 1.4300 area.
The most likely scenario would be a formation of an important low between 1.4450 and 1.4550. From those levels, a correction (from 1.6040 tops) around 38.2% and 50% would be possible and a retracement to the previous base of 1.5300, which should be tested as resistance, is likely.
For the time being, the downward move is been continued from the 1.4900 reaction, and first targets are set at 1.4660-70 and 1.4620-40. A move to new lows will lead euro to the first important target area (1.4500-50), followed by the area of 1.4430-50.
Intraday resistance emerges at 1.4760-70 and 1.4800-25, which is more important. This negative outlook will change after a move above Thursday’s tops at 1.4910…


TRADING EUR/USD
SWING TRADING : Sell positions, that were opened at the retracement towards 1.4900, where our first targets were set, could have as first target a pullback to 1.4630 lows. The upper part could remain open for the reach of the basic targets at 1.4550 area. Below those levels buy opportunities will emerge for the short term, adding positions per 50-70 pips until 1.4370-00 area, with stops below 1.4300. First target will be at 1.5000 and according to the conditions that will be formed, we will follow until 1.5200-5300 area.

INTRADAY TRADING
: The short term trend after the reach of 1.4900 is bearish and should remain at least until the area of 1,4660-80 or 1,4600-30. We will use the first reaction towards the middle Bollinger in the hourly chart for intraday sell positions, adding more at 1.4790-4805, and stops above 1,4835.
Short term (small) buy positions could be tried at 1,4660-70 and 1,4630-40 support levels, with tight stops and targets.




GBP/USD


Resistance :1,8450-60/ 1,8490-8510/ 1,8550/ 1,8590/ 1,8620
Support : 1,8400-10/ 1,8370/ 1,8350/ 1,8320-30

Comment : The beginning of the week finds the pound still weak, as the decline was continued on Friday, below the important support levels of 1.8500. Our targets are set at 1.8300-5, where our target after the break of the big consolidation (we can see it in the daily chart) and the two equal waves from 2007 tops (AB and CD in the daily chart) are found.
As a result, after a move below 1.8350 area, we will examine the formation of an important short term low scenario. We will abandon this scenario after a move below 1.8270, and if these levels are breached, next important targets are set at 1.8000. This would be an extreme but yet possible short term scenario…
Important intraday resistance is found at 1,8500-30 and 1,8580-8610, which is more important.

TRADING GBP/USD : The sharp decline on Friday was continued in the beginning of the week, leading to the 1.8400 area. For the short term, we will use any reaction towards 1.8500-30 area for sell positions with stops above 1.8560 and target at a retracement to previous lows. Sell orders could be tried again at 1,8590-8610 with stops above 1,8650…
A move below 1,8350 will be used for buy positions, adding more at 1,8300 and stops below 1.8250. Our target for these positions will be wider at 1,8900-1,9000…

USD Declination In Assian Session

Forex Market Overview 22 August 2008


The Usd continued to decline in the Asian session as worries over the US financial markets and surging crude prices weighed on the Dollar sentiment. The EurUsd climbed to the 1.4900 levels, before retracing slightly to 1.4876, while the UsdJpy declined and is now trading at 108.90. Crude rose across the board, with wti moving up $5.00, above $120.00bll. With concerns of a production cut swirling around the September 9th OPEC's meeting and Wednesday’s inventories lower than expected still lingering, crude has picked up a bullish tone. And given the high level of the Usd this commodity will be the prime driver in currency pricing today. In addition, 5-year swap spreads are now hoving around 100bp, the widest level since the Bear Stern disaster and before that you would have to go to 2001 and the equity market collapse to find spreads this wide. A gloomy sign if ever was one. Outside Bernanke’s scheduled speech in Wyoming (given the uncertainty surrounding the financial market, traders will be on a heightened state of alert) the market will be without any real events or data releases, so traders should be particularly aware of price-action in other assets classes.

Forex Daily Market Commentary

EURUSD Outlook
Yesterday the EURUSD attempted to push lower, bottomed at 1.4672, but failed to continue this bearish momentum by closed higher at 1.4743. Early today in Asian market, the pair is traded around 1.4780 at the time I wrote this comment. The pair is making a new soft bullish channel and CCI about to cross 100 line up suggesting a possibility of another soft bullish correction on 4h chart. My model goes mixed with neutral bias. Immediate support is seen at 1.4720 followed by 1.4672 (yesterday’s low). Initial resistance at 1.4820 followed by 1.4875. CCI just cross -100 line up on daily chart suggesting a potential bullish correction.

EURUSD Daily Supports and Resistances:

  • S1= 1.4674
  • S2= 1.4606
  • S3= 1.4540
  • R1= 1.4808
  • R2= 1.4874
  • R3= 1.4942

GBPUSD Outlook
Similar to EURUSD, yesterday the GBPUSD attempted to go lower, bottomed at 1.8539 but closed higher at 1.8613. We have a ranging market between 1.8722 and 1.8536 on 4h chart from the beginning of this week and need a breakout. I am expecting an upside breakout as a correctional move at least at 1.8750 resistance level since we don’t have a significant upside correction so far. Immediate support is seen at 1.8580. CCI just cross -100 line up on daily chart suggesting a potential bullish correction. Eyes on UK Retail Sales data today.

GBPUSD Daily Supports and Resistances:

  • S1= 1.8540
  • S2= 1.8467
  • S3= 1.8396
  • R1= 1.8684
  • R2= 1.8755
  • R3= 1.8828

USDJPY Outlook
Yesterday the USDJPY made no significant movement. The pair topped at 110.27 and bottomed at 109.60. My model remains mixed with neutral bias. We have a soft bearish channel on 4h chart and CCI just cross -100 line down suggesting a soft bearish correction potential. Immediate support is seen at 109.30 followed by 108.50. Initial resistance at 110.27 (yesterday’s high).

USDJPY Daily Supports and Resistances:

  • S1= 109.54
  • S2= 109.23
  • S3= 108.87
  • R1= 110.21
  • R2= 110.57
  • R3= 110.88

USDCHF Outlook
Yesterday the Swiss Franc wad traded weaker against Greenback. The pair topped at 1.1039 and closed at 1.0985. We have a ranging market between 1.0872 and 1.1039 since 14/08/2008. My model is mixed with neutral bias. Any breakout from ranging area would give us a clearer direction. CCI just cross 100 line down on daily chart suggesting a potential bearish correction.

USDCHF Daily Supports and Resistances:

  • S1= 1.0908
  • S2= 1.0831
  • S3= 1.0766
  • R1= 1.1050

Looking weak this morning, it has nearly reached our 882 target. This may offer some intermediary support and Gold could pull back to 894 for a new SELL

A fall through 880 has room for 865 or even 850 this week.
