USD Sideways − Testing Long−Term Resistance

Fri, Oct 3 2008, 10:02 GMT
by Swiss e Trade Strategy Team

Swiss e Trade AG


The new highs the Greenback reached yesterday in the majors are at long-term resistance levels now. We expect these levels to hold in the days to come, giving the USD time to digest its new surge. The major pairs showed some of the correction moves in early European trading already, reflecting the overbought condition of the U.S. currency.

We expect the sideways market to continue today, with trading ranges offering enough room for further downward corrections for the USD, as described in detail below. Note the U.S. Non-Farm Payrolls and the unemployment rate, both for September, to be released at 14:30 CET.

The dollar is in a downward correction against the Swiss franc, currently trading at 1.1305, and soon testing the support level at 1.1290. We see this level being broken in today’s trading and the testing of the next support at 1.1250, which we expect to hold. Upside moves are limited at the 1.1350 resistance.
