  • In the longer term, the technical structure favours a bearish bias as long as resistance holds. Key resistance is located region at 1.1453 (range high) and 1.1640 (11/11/2005 low) is likely to cap any price appreciation. The current technical deteriorations favours a gradual decline towards the support at 1.0504 (21/03/2003 low).


GBP/USD

GBPUSD

Sideways price action.

  • GBP/USD has bounced back and is now consolidating. Hourly support can be found at 1.5026 (06/11/2015 low). Hourly resistance stands at 1.5219 (05/11/2015 high). Expected further consolidation.

  • The long-term technical pattern is negative and favours a further decline towards the key support at 1.5089 , as long as prices remain below the resistance at 1.5340/64 (04/11/2015 low see also the 200 day moving average). However, the general oversold conditions and the recent pick-up in buying interest pave the way for a rebound.


USD/JPY

USDJPY

Bullish momentum.

  • USD/JPY continues to improve. Hourly resistance lies at 123.60 (09/11/2015 high). The short-term technical structure favours a further rise. Strong support lies at 120.80 (22/10/2015 low).

  • A long-term bullish bias is favored as long as the strong support at 115.57 (16/12/2014 low) holds. A gradual rise towards the major resistance at 135.15 (01/02/2002 high) is favored. A key support can be found at 116.18 (24/08/2015 low).


USD/CHF

USDCHF

Holding above psychological level at 1.0000.

  • USD/CHF is consolidating above 1.0000, confirming an increasing buying interest. The technical structure is still looking for further bullish momentum. Hourly support is given at 0.9944 (06/11/2015 low). Expected to show continued increase.

  • In the long-term, the pair has broken resistance at 0.9448 and key resistance at 0.9957 suggesting further uptrend. Key support can be found 0.8986 (30/01/2015 low). As long as these levels hold, a long term bullish bias is favoured.


USD/CAD

USDCAD

Consolidating.

  • USD/CAD is in an upside momentum confirming the end of the persistent selling pressures. Resistance can be found at 1.3318 (06/11/2015 high). Significant supports stand at 1.2949 (Fibo 38% retracement level). Expected to further increase.

  • In the longer term, the break of the key resistance at 1.3065 (13/03/2009 high) has indicated increasing buying pressures, which favours further medium-term strengthening. Support can be found at 1.2832 (15/10/2015 low) then 1.1731 (06/01/2015 low).


AUD/USD

AUDUSD

Sideways price action.

  • AUD/USD is still in the downtrend channel. Hourly support lies at 0.7017 (08/11/2015 low). Hourly resistance can be found at 0.7070 (09/11/2015 high). Expected monitoring of the support implied by the lower bound of the downtrend channel.

  • In the long-term, there is no sign to suggest the end of the current downtrend. Key supports stand at 0.6009 (31/10/2008 low) . A break of the key resistance at 0.8295 (15/01/2015 high) is needed to invalidate our long-term bearish view. In addition, we still note that the pair remains well below the 200-dma which confirms selling pressures.


GBP/JPY

GBPJPY

Riding uptrend channel.

  • GBP/JPY is pushing higher after testing support implied by the lower bound of the uptrend channel. Break of the channel's support would suggest a deeper corrective phase. Stronger support stands at 180.24 (04/09/2015 low).

  • In the long-term, the lack of any medium-term bearish reversal pattern favours a bullish bias. The successful test of the strong support at 175.51 (03/02/2015 low) signals persistent buying interest. Key resistances stand at 197.45 (26/09/2008 high). A major support area can be found between 169.51 (11/04/2014 low) and 167.78 (18/03/2014 low).


EUR/JPY

EURJPY

Moving sideways.

  • EUR/JPY is moving sideways under declining trendline. Hourly resistance is located at 137.45 (17/09/2015 high) and hourly support lies at 131.51 (06/11/2015 low).

  • In the longer term, the break of the support at 130.15 validates a medium-term succession of lower highs and lower lows. As a result, the resistance at 149.78 (08/12/2014 high) has likely marked the end of the rise that started in July 2012. Key supports stand at 124.97 (13/06/2013 low) and 118.73 (25/02/2013 low). A key resistance can be found at 141.06 (04/06/2015 high).


EUR/GBP

EURGBP

Weakening.

  • EUR/GBP is declining. The technical structure is still negative. Monitor the support at 0.7026 (18/08/2015 low). Expected to show continued weakness.

  • In the long-term, prices are in an underlying declining trend. The general oversold conditions suggest a limited medium-term downside potential. A key resistance lies at 0.7592 (03/02/2015 high).


EUR/CHF

EURCHF

Weakening.

  • EUR/CHF is pushing lower. A bearish bias is favoured given the recent lower highs. Hourly support lies at 1.0733 (28/08/2015 low). Resistance can be found at 1.0908 (declining channel resistance). Expected to monitor 1.0700.

  • In the longer term, the technical structure remains negative as long as prices remain below the resistance at 1.1002 (02/09/2011 low). The ECB's QE programme is likely to cause persistent selling pressures on the euro, which should weigh on EUR/CHF. Supports can be found at 1.0184 (28/01/2015 low) and 1.0082 (27/01/2015 low).


GOLD

Gold

Consolidating.

  • Gold is now pausing. Te short-term technical structure remains negative. Short-term support region can be found at 1085 (06/11/2015 low). Hourly resistance is given at 1110 (06/11/2015 high). Expected to show continued weakness.

  • In the long-term, the underlying downtrend (see declining channel) continues to favour a bearish bias. A break of theresistance at 1223 is needed to suggest something more than a temporary rebound. A major support can be found at 1045 (05/02/2010 low).


SILVER (in USD)

Silver

Declining.

  • Silver has broken hourly support at 14.94 (05/11/2015 low). The potential medium-term base formation and the short-term challenge to range support favours a bearish bias. The resistance at 15.45 (declining channel) has thus far held. Expected to show continued weakness.

  • In the long-term, the break of the major support area between 18.64 (30/05/2014 low) and 18.22 (28/06/2013 low) confirms an underlying downtrend. The strong support at 14.66 (05/02/2010 low) has been broken and prices have then consolidated. A key resistance stands at 18.89 (16/09/2014 high).
