Quote of the day: Good ideas are not adopted automatically. They must be driven into practice with courageous patience. — Hyman Rickover
EURUSD
The downward trend line coming from 1.3840, now around 1.3700 – provided an intra-day reversal point again, limiting gains on last euro’s attempt to climb higher. Support on the 1.3600 mark has held thus far but the recovery from 1.3600 is not convincing yet. Slipping below 1.3600 would bring the fib support levels of last week’s range in focus – around 1.3550, level which held on Friday’s NFP market reaction. Not far lower than 1.3550, there’s the rising trend line barrier joining recent lows, now coming around 1.3485. Therefore, the whole range of 1.3445-1.3485 may provide a stable bottom if the sell-off continues. On a short-term basis, the charts remain in a bearish-to-neutral stance – break above 1.3700 being required to confirm a change, exiting the 13 days range. Current quote is 1.3604 @07:10 GMT
Support: 1.3600, 1.3550, 1.3485/00 and 1.3440/50
Resistance: 1.3700, 1.3735/50, 1.3780 and 1.3840/60
Market sentiment: long term – bullish, medium term – bearish, short term – neutral, intra-day – bearish
USDCAD
Important medium term support is being challenged around 1.0250 – formed by the trend line coming from October’s 1.0205. Short-term sentiment is bearish but a potential bounce would provide a buying opportunity, targeting 1.0540/50 (monthly open) on first phase. 1.0330 is a minor resistance which capped the upside recently, so a sustained break above the said level could be a good confirmation for a swing long position. Current quote is 1.0276 @07:10 GMT
Support: 1.0250, 1.0200 and 1.0100
Resistance: 1.0330, 1.0400, 1.00460 and 1.0500/15
Market sentiment: long term – bearish, medium term – bearish, short term – bearish, intra-day – neutral
NZDUSD
The kiwi dollar pulled back from recent top but support formed by the falling trend line, former resistance around .6950 may provide support, favoring some more gains towards .7050/60. Intra-day sentiment is slightly bearish but there’s enough room to the downside while an extended decline would still be treated as a corrective cycle. Current quote is .6985 @07:10 GMT
Support: .6950, .6900/15, .6850 and .6800
Resistance: .7000, .7040/50 and .7150
Market sentiment: long term – bullish, medium term – slightly bearish, short term – slightly bullish, intra-day – slightly bearish
Have a great day!
