Will
EUR/USD extend the fall?
(We
begin the week with sudden US
strength, but how far can it go?)
---Lack of releases will make technical analysis more important---
We have been talking about a stronger USD for
quite a while now, and just this Friday, we had our annual meeting, where we
stated USD might actually begin its strenghtening almost immediatedly…
We ended last week with Bush releasing
his plan to expand growth in the US; investors were clearly disappointed as we
begin this week with strong declines in stock markets around the globe, oil
below 90 and the EUR/USD diving more than 170 pips in a day where the US is
closed due to holidays.
Monday should have been pretty quiet due to the
lack of fundamentals and the closed market in the US, however it is showing reactions of
last week’s announcement by US politicians. Tuesday will bring the BoJ rate
decision, they will probably maintain the rate unchanged but expect to hear
something about global stability due to the recent fall in their stock market. Tuesday
will also have Trichet speaking and he might as well do something to calm
investors. Wednesday will be important due to the release of the minutes of the
BoE, GDP for UK and industrial Production for Euro Zone, which will read pretty
weak and could continue to weaken the euro. Thursday will have appearances by
Trichet and Treasury Secretary Paulson, and German IFO; all of these releases
could help the USD extend the move; however, later that day we will receive
releases such as Jobless rate and New Home Sales that could even things up as
they will also read weak. Friday will be very calm on the fundamental side of
trading but don’t forget the possibility of a correction.
Fundamentals support
the idea of a further Dolar appreciation, important supports have been broken
and we now see the pair below the channel in different time frames. Indicators
are beginning to point north but this is the effect of a sudden move. Lets give
them some time to establish a trend and then listen to them because this week
is not very important in the fundamental side.
EUR/USD
EUR/USD is moving widely to the south of our charts, it seems that US negativity is now
going to other countries. We have stock markets falling drastically, oil below
90 and the Euro falling rapidly. This could continue throughout the week but
look out for dip buying because this trend could extend at least until the rate
cut by the FED.
Daily Graph

EUR/USD is now below the channel and MACD supports the idea of a continuation. Lets wait and see if a double bottom is created at levels near 1.4300
Weekly Graph

The pair is well in the channel now, the floor is at 1.4340. A rupture of this channel could bring the pair below 1.4300 and further.
Our analysis indicates Short EUR/USD every time it reaches 1.4540
