EUR/USD - USD/CAD

EURUSD bulls regroup to hold 2 year trend line support at 1.0810/00. Longs benefited from a 50 pip recovery to the 1.0860/65 target & we topped exactly here for a second buying opportunity at 1.0810/00 & bounce to 1.0860/65 for a potential 100 pips profit on the day.

USDCAD held support at 1.3250/40 perfectly for a bounce to within 3 pips of the 1.3310/20 target.

Daily Analysis

EURUSD bulls seize control after a 3 day test of the important trend line targeting 1.0830/35 & 1.0860/65 perfectly. Above 1.0870 today targets strong resistance at 1.0890/1.0900. Try shorts with stops above 1.0920. A break higher see 1.0890 act as support targeting 1.0925.

We can try longs again at 1.0810/00 with stop below 1.0780. A sustained break below 1.0780 is a sell signal initially targeting 1.0730/20 & 1.0685/75.

USDCAD should have support at 1.3250/40 again today but below here targets 1.3220/10 before a buying opportunity at 1.31185/75, with stops below 1.3160. A break lower is another sell signal targeting 1.3145/40, perhaps as far as 1.3100/90.

Holding support at 1.3250/40 re-targets 1.3280/85 & 1.3310/20 before the high at 1.3329, coupled with strong resistance at 1.3345/50. Shorts need stops above 1.3365. A break higher is a medium term buy signal.

EUR/USD eases to near 1.1900 in Tuesday's European trading hours, snapping the two-day winning streak. Markets turn cautious, lifting the haven demand for the US Dollar ahead of the release of key US economic data, including Retail Sales and ADP Employment Change 4-week average.

GBP/USD stays in the red below 1.3700 on renewed USD demand

Gold sticks to modest losses above $5,000 ahead of US data

Gold sticks to modest intraday losses through the first half of the European session, though it holds comfortably above the $5,000 psychological mark and the daily swing low. The outcome of Japan's snap election on Sunday removes political uncertainty, which along with signs of easing tensions in the Middle East, remains supportive of the upbeat market mood. This turns out to be a key factor exerting downward pressure on the safe-haven precious metal.
