Aussie retraces over 50% of 0.8658/0.9503, 2014 rally


EURUSD

The Euro remains in sideways mode, stabilizing above 1.29 handle, in a narrow range. Yesterday’s Doji confirms near-term indecision, with three-day range ceiling establishing at 1.2962 and floor marked by 1.2882, low of 10Sep. Lack of direction and flat hourly studies, suggest further consolidation, with 4-hour studies still holding negative tone. This keeps the downside vulnerable, as overall tone remains bearish and so far ignores oversold daily conditions. Violation of initial 1.2962/87 barriers and psychological 1.30 level, would signal stronger upside attempts towards 1.3070, Fibonacci 38.2% of 1.3410/1.2858 and 1.31 hurdle, while clearance of 1.3158 lower top of 03 Sep is required to confirm near-term base and correction underway, which will put aside attempts towards near-term targets at 1.2786, Fibonacci 61.8% retracement of 2012/2014 1.2042/1.3992 ascend and a higher base at 1.2750 zone, Mar/July 2013 lows.

Res: 1.2962; 1.2987; 1.3000; 1.3044
Sup: 1.2910; 1.2882; 1.2858; 1.2800

GBPUSD

Cable consolidates near term gains which cracked initial 1.6230 barrier, on extension to 1.6275 so far, Fibonacci 38.2% retracement of 1.6642/1.6050 descend. Near-term price action is holding within 1.6212/1.6275 range, with positively aligned near-term studies seeing scope for further recovery action. To confirm correction scenario and neutralize immediate bears, filling Monday’s gap on regain of lower top at 1.6338, is required. The notion is supported by formation of Morning Doji Star – like pattern, on the daily chart, along with overextended daily studies. However, overall negative sentiment sees extension of larger downtrend, once corrective action is completed.

Res: 1.6275; 1.6300; 1.6338; 1.6347
Sup: 1.6213; 1.6155; 1.6123; 1.6050

Initial support lies 107 level, ahead of 106.60 and 106.00 higher bases, where corrective dips should be contained.

Res: 107.50; 108.00; 108.30; 109.00
