TECHNICAL ANALYSIS:

EURUSD: Flip your coin, place your bets

EURUSD

With data from both Eurozone and US tonight we can safely assume volatility on EURUSD. The question is whether or not we can establish a directional move.

My bias is to the downside because the drop from the bearish channel was done with such vigour. As long as we remain below the 1.264-5 resistance zone then I would prefer to seek bearish setups to target the weekly lows (and possible extension down to 1.25).

However a convincing break above 1.264 warns if a much deeper correction against the preceding bearish moves, with a target around 1.298-70

COPPER: On to Plan B

COPPER

We didn't see the new high created, instead Copper crashed through it's own bullish trendline to generate a sell-bias.

Price has already retested the broken trendline, so the plan is to sell into any weakness below 3.06 to target 3.02.

BRENT: Potential Bearish Wedge below resistance

Brent

Yesterday's Dark Cloud cover may mark the tip of a Bearish Wedge. It is a pity we are about the go into the weekend as this is an ideal price action setup to consider on D1 (but hesitating to enter just before a 2-day break).

However we can use D1 to help with trades on intraday timeframes. For example seek bearish setups if we break below yesterday's low.

GOLD: Below $1204 targets $1191

Gold

Whilst $1200 is supposed to be a psychological round number I have to admit it hasn't been much of a pivotal area upon this visit, with peice oscillating around it.

H4 is suggesting a potential Double Bottom in the making, which could target the upper end of the $1205-7 resistance zone. If this zone holds as resistance then I would prefer to take the short side to target $1191.
