New Recommedations
Open Positions
Short September Dollar Index filled 9/08 at 7734.
Lower stop from 7809 to 7729 to lock in $50 gain. Hold with an initial objective of 7510.
US Dollar
The September US Dollar broke below key 7750 support this week, the lowest level since September 2008. A weekly close below 7750 could trigger a selloff to the 7500 level over the near term. Nearby resistance based on the 50% retracement level and the moving average channel comes in at approximately 8000, with the next resistance level at the 200 day moving average of approximately 8200.
Euro
The September Euro is testing the 61.8% retracement of its July – October 2008 sell-off as of this writing. 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.
Yen
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.
British Pound
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.
Swiss Franc
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.
