Fundamental Analysis: Trade Balance

Traders of the US anticipate the publication of the Trade Balance index. The

index measures the difference in worth between exported and imported goods

(exports minus imports). This is the largest component of a country's

balance of payments.

Export data can give reflection on the US growth. Imports provide an

indication of domestic demand.

Because foreigners must buy the domestic currency to pay for the nation's

exports, it may have sizable affect on the USD.

A higher than expected reading should be taken as positive/bullish for the

USD, while a lower than expected reading should be taken as negative/bearish

for the USD. Analysts predict a reading of -41.00B.

Euro Dollar

The Euro broke the support 1.3595, and stopped only 7 pips below the

suggested target, and created another bottom in the same area of last

Friday's low (1.3529). This boring behavior, and moving back and forth in

almost the same areas in the past days, made us wonder if we could be in a

triangle of some sort. If this is true, the triangle limits are 1.3673 &

1.3557, but we will espouse Fibonacci 61.8% support & resistance at 1.3566 &

1.3639 to be today's levels. We can only hope to end this boredom with a

break of one of these levels. If the resistance at 1.3639 is broken, we

expect the Euro to jump and test the top of the falling channel at 1.3729.

And if this important resistance is broken too, we will see the Euro flying

to 1.3810. On the other hand, if the support at 1.3566 is broken, we expect

a test of the rising trend line from 1.3442 as a first target (this line is

currently running at 1.3472), and if broken we will reach a fresh cycle low

at 1.3390.

Support:

* 1.3566: Fibonacci 61.8% for the short term.

* 1.3472: the rising trend line from 1.3442 on the hourly charts.

* 1.3390: Apr 13th high.

Resistance:

* 1.3639: Fibonacci 61.8% for the short term.

* 1.3729: the top of the falling channel on the hourly charts, and a very

important resistance for the short term & the medium term.

* 1.3810: Feb 10th high.

USD/JPY

After Fibonacci resistance 90.66 has succeeded in reversing the short term

direction, the price traded under it for the whole past 24 hours, reaching a

low of 89.61, and drifting away more than 100 pips from the weekly high,

which is in total agreement with Fibonacci analysis that suggests we had a

short term direction-changing top at 90.66.This rebound from Fibonacci

retracement level with very good accuracy is evidence that the general

direction of the short-term is down. If this turns out to be true, we will

see the Dollar-Yen breaking the nearby support 89.69, and trying to attack

the Fibonacci support 89.09 which will act as a first target for this break,

and in case this level is broken, we can say that the drop from 90.66 is

more than a correction. If this level is also broken, the target would be

88.46, on the way to lower targets. As for the resistance it is provided by

short term Fibonacci 61.8% resistance, at 90.26. If this line is broken, we

will be on the way to another weekly high, since the targets for such a

break would be 90.84 & the well known important resistance 91.67.

Support:

* 89.69: Fibonacci 50% for the short term.

* 89.09: Fibonacci 61.8% for the short term.

* 88.46: previous hourly support.

Resistance:

* 90.26: Fibonacci 61.8% for the drop from this week's high.

* 90.84: Nov 5th & 6th high.

* 91.67: previous hourly support.

report. It measures the annualized number of existing residential buildings

that were sold during the previous month.

This report helps to analyze the strength of the US housing market, which

helps to analysis the economy as a whole.

A higher than expected reading should be taken as positive/bullish for the

USD, while a lower than expected reading should be taken as negative/bearish

for the USD. Analysts predict a future reading of 5.00M.

Euro Dollar

The Euro retreated, breaking the support specified in Friday's report

1.3597, dropped as expected but settled for 1.3501, a whole 21 pips above

the suggested target 1.3480. But what took place was a confirmation that

reaching 1.38 has caused the Euro a lot of exhaustion. In addition to the

fact that the "Reversal Day" pattern which took place on Wednesday was heavy

on the pair. We can see on the attached daily chart that we are trading

within a pretty harmonized channel, and it is exciting to see that the

bottom of this channel is at 1.30, so are we heading there? The continuous

shine of the Dollar, and the extreme strength it showed on Friday against

the Pound in specific, and also against the Euro indicate that we are

probably getting there> As for the short term, the support is at Friday's

low 1.3501, and if broken, the drop will resume, targeting the important

support, which has a few bottoms just above it: 1.3422, and then 1.3341. As

for the resistance it is at 1.3542, and breaking it would indicate that the

price will correct the big drop, with the ideal targets for this correction

are 1.3621 & 1.3696.

Support:

* 1.3501: Friday's low.

* 1.3422: May 18th low.

* 1.3341: May 8th low.

Resistance:

* 1.3542: Asian session top.

* 1.3621: Fibonacci 38.2% for the short term.

* 1.3696: Fibonacci 61.8% for the short term.

USD/JPY

The Dollar-Yen approached the magnetic resistance 90.78 once again on

Friday, as the daily high formed only 8 pips below it. The price did not

move much afterwards, in a price behaviour reminding us of the boredom which

we lived with this pair recently. Last week, we adjusted the lines that

frame the current area, to make the upper limit at Monday's & Thursday's top

90.78, which is very close to last Wednesday's top 90.80, and close to

Friday's top 90.70. The lower limit is provided by the rising trend line

from 89.61 on the hourly chart, which has been tested several time, before

being broken. This line is currently at 90.33. In case we break the magnetic

resistance 90.78 we will see the Dollar take control, and drive this pair

higher, as we see it targeting the important 91.60 first, then 92.31 which

is important as well. But in case we broke the rising trend line at 90.33,

the price will resume yesterday's fall which halted at 89.74, confirming the

negative technical outlook which we cheered for all this week. This fall is

expected to target 89.37 & 88.53.

Support:

* 90.33: the rising trend line from 89.61 on the hourly chart.

* 89.37: Mar 2nd low

* 88.53: Feb 4th low.

Resistance:

* 90.78: Monday's high.

* 91.60: Oct 29th high.

* 92.31: Oct 27th high.

Fundamental Analysis: Retail Sales

Great Britain traders anticipate the publication of the Retail Sales. It is

a monthly measurement of all goods sold by retailers based on a sampling of

retail stores of different types and sizes in the UK. It is an important

indicator of consumer spending and also correlated to consumer confidence

and considered as a pace indicator of the UK economy.

A higher than expected reading should be taken as positive/bullish for the

GBP, while a lower than expected reading should be taken as negative/bearish

for the GBP. Analysts predict a future reading of 0.60%.

Euro Dollar

The Euro broke the support specified in yesterday's report 1.3502, and

dropped a little, then it bounced back to stop accurately at the resistance

specified in the report 1.3566 (the highest price after issuance the report

is 1.3561). After that, the dropped & went back to confirm the 1.3502 break,

and successfully reached the first suggested target 1.3422, reaching 1.3405

until the moment of preparing this report. With this move, the Euro finally

penetrated the important support area which contains 5 daily lows, which we

talked about in details yesterday. Also, with this move, the technical

outlook for the medium term has "officially" turned negative, and we do

expect the Euro to sink below 1.30 in the near future. As for the short

term, the resistance is 1.3446 & the support is 1.3390. If we break the

support at 1.3390, the price will confirm the break which has already took

place for the wide support area 1.3434-1.3462, the price will start falling

targeting 1.3326 and may be 1.3256. But if the resistance 1.3446 is broken,

the price will take off, looking for Fibonacci resistance levels which will

form today's targets 1.3501 first, and if broken 1.3611.

Support:

* 1.3390: Apr 13th high.

* 1.3326: Jan 28th high.

* 1.3256: Mar 27th 2009 high.

Resistance:

* 1.3446: the falling trend line from 1.3561 on the intraday charts.

* 1.3501: Fibonacci 61.8% for the short term.

* 1.3611: Fibonacci 50% for the drop from 1.3816.

USD/JPY

The Dollar-Yen moved in a very tight range between 90.17 & 90.60 without

being able to break the most important resistance 90.78. Boredom is still

the headline, awaiting a potential break of 90.78, or starting to drift away

from it. Last week, we adjusted the lines that frame the current area, to

make the upper limit at Monday's & Thursday's top 90.78, which is very close

to last Wednesday's top 90.80, and close to Friday's top 90.70. And today we

will adjust the lower limit for this area, by re-drawing the rising trend

line from 89.61 to contain the recent price behaviour. The above mentioned

line is at 89.99. In case we break the magnetic resistance 90.78 we will see

the Dollar take control, and drive this pair higher, as we see it targeting

the important 91.60 first, then 92.31 which is important as well. But in

case we break the new trend line at 89.99, the expected drifting away from

90.78 will start, and we will be heading to 89.37 & 88.53.

Support:

* 89.99: the rising trend line from 89.61 on the hourly chart, after

adjustment.

* 89.37: Mar 2nd low

* 88.53: Feb 4th low.

Resistance:

* 90.78: Monday's high.

* 91.60: Oct 29th high.

* 92.31: Oct 27th high.
