A significant close above 1.4700 basis the September contract is necessary to indicate a continuation of the current uptrend. Current Fibonacci support levels come in at 1.4157 and 1.3724. No new recommendation at this time.
From it’s 2008 low of 9013 to it’s 2009 high of 11496, the Japanese Yen retraced almost exactly to it’s 61.8% Fibonacci level on April 6th and appears poised to continue in it’s uptrend. Key resistance is the July highs of just over 10905. A significant close above that level may trigger a test of the 11200 level.
Considering recommending a bullish option strategy on the next pullback to trendline support and moving average support levels of 1.0461-1.0547.
The September British Pound has retraced just over 38.2% of its late 2007-early 2009 sell-off, and appears poised to potentially test the next Fibonacci resistance level of 173.37 and possibly 18234 over the coming weeks. Tests of these resistance levels may prove to be good opportunities to establish short positions using limited risk option strategies, looking for the longer term downtrend to resume.
The September Swiss Franc broke above its 61.8% Fibonacci retracement this week, and is testing Key Resistance of 9662. A significant close above that level is necessary to indicate a continuation of the current uptrend. No new recommendation at this time.
