EURUSD

The Euro remains under pressure and left lower top at 1.3639, after fresh acceleration lower probes levels below 1.3585/74 supports. The way towards 1.35 base and key short-term support, is now open, as fresh weakness retraced nearly 76.4% of 1.3502/1.3699 rally. Bearish near-term studies support the notion, as daily tools are building bearish momentum for eventual completion of 1.3502/1.3699 phase, with probe below 1.35 base / main bull trendline off 1.2042 and return to another pivotal short-term support at 1.3475, 03 Feb higher low, to complete larger, Feb/May 1.3475/1.3699 ascend. Corrective rallies should find ideal cap at previous supports at 1.3585 and 1.3600, while only sustained break above the latter would delay immediate bears.

GBPUSD

Cable rallied sharply and escaped from dangerous territory, neutralizing downside risk, which started to build up on a break below 1.71 handle. Strong rebound recovered all near-term losses and posted marginally higher high at 1.7189. This brought near-term focus back to the upside levels, for resumption of larger uptrend, being paused by 1.7177/1.7057 corrective phase, with reversal signaled by bullish engulfing pattern. Positively aligned near-term studies and already bullish larger picture, support the notion, however, close above near-term tops is required to confirm.

USDJPY

The pair continues to move higher, on near-term corrective rally off fresh low at 101.05, posted on 05 July. Fresh extensions retraced over 76.4% of 102.25/101.05 descend, with positive near-term studies being supportive. The price action approaches the lower boundary, previous 09 July high / 200 SMA, of pivotal 101.85/102.00 resistance zone, break of which is required to confirm recovery. However, caution is still required as daily studies are weak and risk of lower top formation will persist while 102 barrier stays intact. Otherwise, break here to open next pivotal barriers at 102.25/35.

AUDUSD

Near-term recovery attempt lost traction after spiking at 0.9454 and subsequent weakness nearly fully retraced 0.9327/0.9454 upleg. This brought immediate risk at key 0.9320 higher platform and Fibonacci 61.8% retracement of 0.9209/0.9503 ascend, with break here to trigger fresh extension of reversal from 0.9503 peak, which was interrupted by 0.9327/0.9454 corrective rally. Negative near-term studies support further weakness, however, hesitation ahead of 0.9320 base could be expected, as hourly studies are oversold. Corrective rallies should stay under 0.94 barrier, to keep fresh bears intact.

EURUSD

The Euro continues to trend lower and looks for retest of key support and near-term target at 1.35 base, to complete 1.3502/1.3699 ascend. The third wave, which commenced from 1.3649 lower top, met its 100% Fibonacci expansion at 1.3520, where the pair entered consolidative phase, ahead of final push to 1.3502 low. Overall negative structure sees scope for further extension of larger downmove off 1.3699 peak, with the wave expected to extend to 1.3475/70, 03 Feb higher low / Fibonacci 138.2% expansion and 1.3440, 161.8% expansion. Stronger corrective actions should find good barrier at 1.3570, previous lows zone / lower platform / 50% retracement of 1.3639/1.3519 downleg.

GBPUSD

Cable trades in extended corrective phase off fresh high at 1.7189, after strong recovery rally failed to sustain gains above previous high and resume larger uptrend. Further sideways trading, shown on larger timeframes, seems to be likely scenario, as the pair failed to capitalize on 15 July strong rally and change of direction, signaled by outside day candle. Near-term structure is weakening, as the price so far dipped to the levels close to 1.71 support, previous breakpoint and Fibonacci 61.8% retracement of 1.7057/1.7189 upleg. Break here to confirm negative near-term stance and re-focus lower range levels. However, daily structure remains firmly bullish and sees fresh attempts higher favored, once corrective action is over. Fresh low at 1.7057 is expected to hold and prevent the pair from more significant pullback.

Reversing hourly RSI and positive 4-hour structure supports such scenario and sees scope for eventual attempt through pivotal 101.85, 09 July high / psychological 102 barrier, also daily cloud base, break of which to confirm bullish resumption and open next breakpoints at 102.25/35. Alternatively, loss of 101.40/30 support zone, current lows and Fibonacci 61.8% / previous consolidation tops, to bring bears back in play for possible return to 101 support zone.

This brought immediate risk at key 0.9320 higher platform and Fibonacci 61.8% retracement of 0.9209/0.9503 ascend, with break here to trigger fresh extension of reversal from 0.9503 peak, which was interrupted by 0.9327/0.9454 corrective rally.

EURUSD

The Euro consolidates above 1.35 base / trendline support, which was cracked last Friday, on a spike to 1.3489. Te break was short-lived, with near-term indecision confirmed by double Doji candle. Mixed near-term studies confirm the sideways mode, as hourlies gained some strength and retraced 38.2% of 1.3639/1.3496 descend, while 4-hour structure remains negative. This sees corrective attempts limited, as larger picture remains bearish and favor eventual clear break of pivotal 1.35/1.3475 support zone, to trigger fresh weakness. Former lows that form layers of resistances between 1.3465 and 1.3485, should serve as solid resistances, before the pair commences fresh leg lower. Alternatively, lift above 1.36 handle would delay attempts at 1.35 base for stronger recovery, with pivotal barriers at 1.3639/49 lower tops.

Cable holds negative near-term tone, as corrective phase off fresh high at 1.7189, fully retraced 1.7057/1.7189 upleg and extended weakness to 1.7034, fresh low, posted last Friday. This sees scope for fresh attempts lower and test of psychological 1.7000 support, as lower timeframe’s studies turned bearish after false break higher, with corrective rallies seen ahead of fresh weakness and ideally to be capped at 1.7100/10 zone, lower top and 38.2% / 50% retracement of 1.7189/1.7034 descend.

Downside pressure persists and sees eventual push below psychological 101 support, for test of critical 100.81/74 support, below which to commence fresh bear-leg, resumption of larger downmove off 105.43, 02 Jan peak. Corrective rally was so far capped at 101.43, 50% of 101.78/101.07 descend, with more significant results, requiring break above 101.85/102 hurdles, to sideline overall bears.

The Euro continues to trade in consolidative mode above 1.35 base / main bull-trendline off 1.2042 low, strong support which was cracked last Friday, on a spike lower to 1.3489.

Triple Doji candle confirms near-term indecision. Hourly studies are neutral, while 4-hour structure remains negatively aligned, suggesting further downside as favored scenario, on completion of limited corrective actions. Fresh leg lower requires clear break below 1.35 handle and 1.3475, 03 Feb low, to confirm bearish resumption and enter stronger correction of larger 1.2042, July 2012 low / 1.3992, May 2014 peak. Extended correction above 1.3547, to face strong barrier at 1.3575/85, former lows and Fibonacci 61.8% retracement of 1.3690/1.3489 descend, where rallies should be ideally capped, while break here would delay bears and open key lower tops at 1.3639/49, 14/10 July highs.

EURUSD

The Euro reached a downtrend low of 1.3365 on the 30th of July. It dropped back to this level on the 31st and failed to break it confirming it as a support; as a result we saw it rise the next session on Friday 65 pips to achieve a high of 1.3443 which is our first resistance level for today.

On the short term our outlook is bullish if EURUSD can hold above 1.3400, with targets at 1.3445 & 1.3455. However we are not expecting any important figures which could lead the weak trading today

A lot of momentum indicators are telling us it’s in oversold territory but they have been doing so for some time now and it had kept falling.

The key level to monitor on USDJPY is resistance 103. It was the daily high of Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of last week. So now we have 3 failed attempts so far to break above this strong resistance. The reason the market found resistance at this particular level is that if we take a look at the daily chart, we will notice it was the also the high of the 2.5.14 daily candle that it also failed to break at that time. USDJPY made a correction of 70 pips on Friday making a low of 102.30 (our first current support)

We can notice also is that the high of Thursday and Friday is at the same level 1297 confirming it as our first resistance.

EURUSD

Due to lack of important economic figures affecting the euro zone area or the US yesterday we saw very weak action on EURUSD during the first trading session of the week.

USDJPY did not even reach close to our first resistance of 103.00 or support 102.30. Also posting a weak high low/range of 30 pips. Our outlook remains bearish if it stays below pivot point 103 due to the fall on the dollar on Friday as a result of weak Jobs data from the US. Targets stand at 102.30, 102 & 101.80. However a break above 103 opens the way up for 103.40 and 103.70.

The double bottom at 1280 ( low of 31.7.14 & 1.8.14) still supports gold and we will consider it our pivot point for today. Gold saw a significant rise last Friday due to weak economic US jobs data

EURUSD

The Euro trades in consolidative mode after finding ground above 1.33 support. Near-term price action moves around 1.34 handle, still holding below 1.3443, 01 Aug lower top and breakpoint, clearance of which is required to trigger stronger recovery and confirm near-term base. Near-term action is supported by positive hourly studies and 4-hour indicators emerging above the midlines. Also, reversing daily indicators and RSI out of oversold zone, support the notion. Lift above 1.3443, also near 38.2% retracement of 1.3639./1.3316 descend, to open 1.3485, 24 July lower top and 50% retracement, as well as psychological 1.35 barrier. Pullback off fresh recovery high at 1.3431, which dented 1.34 support, also near 38.2% of 1.3316/1.3431 ascend, should hold above 1.3370, Fibonacci 61.8% retracement and hourly 20/55 SMA’s bullish cross, to keep near-term bulls intact for renewed attempt higher. Otherwise, risk of retest of 1.33 support zone and fresh extension of larger downtrend would remain in play.

Near-term consolidative actions are expected to interrupt bears, however, the upside potential so far looks limited, as near-term technicals remain negative.

On the other side, overall bullish picture remains intact and sees fresh upside potential, once the price confirms footstep at 101.49, which requires clearance of 102.45 lower top and Fibonacci 61.8% of 103.07/101.19 descend, to confirm recovery action.

AUDUSD

The pair maintains overall negative structure, as fresh acceleration off 0.9372 lower top of 06 Aug, posted new low at 0.9237, approaching strong 0.92 zone base. Brief upside attempts are expected to delay bears, which are aiming towards 0.92 higher base and 0.9180, Fibonacci 38.2% retracement of larger 0.8658/0.9503 bull phase, with loss of these supports expected to accelerate bears off 0.9503 peak. Near-term price action off 0.9237 low, was so far limited by 4-hour 20SMA, with more significant corrective action to be sparked on a break above 0.9372 lower top.

EURUSD

The Euro is at the back foot in the near-term, as the price moves lower after recovery rally stalled at 1.3431, short of 1.3443 pivotal top. Subsequent weakness, which broke below psychological 1.34 support, also Fibonacci 61.8% of 1.3316/1.3431 upleg, sees risk of further easing and possible retest of near-term base above 1.33 handle. Negative hourly studies support the notion, however, range trading will remain in play while the price holds within current boundaries, with overextended daily technicals suggesting extended consolidation and only break above 1.3343/49 lower top / Fibonacci 38.2% of larger 1.3639./1.3316 descend, to signal stronger recovery attempt. Penetration of strong 1.33 support zone, on the other side, is expected to resume broader weakness off 1.3392, 08 May peak and extend the third wave from 1.3699 lower top of 01 July, towards its 100% Fibonacci expansion at 1.3209.

GBPUSD

Cable maintains negative tone and resumes larger downtrend, which was interrupted by 1.6764/94 consolidation, with psychological 1.68 support now acting as immediate resistance and keeping the upside attempts limited. Fresh weakness is looking for retest of 1.67 zone higher base, to complete the bull-leg from 1.67 to 1.7189. Break below 1.67 support to open 1.6650, 200SMA. Prevailing negative tone supports the notion, with consolidative actions expected to interrupt bears. On the upside, 1.68 offers solid resistance and sustained break here would delay bears for possible attempt at 1.6885 lower top and breakpoint.

USDJPY

The pair regained traction on hourly chart studies, as the price action stabilizes above 102 handle and approaches pivotal 102.45 lower top and Fibonacci 61.8% of 103.07/101.49 descend. Break here is required to confirm higher low formation at 101.49 and open 103 zone for test. Daily studies are positive and support the notion, with close above 200SMA, to confirm. Psychological 102 support and higher low, also near daily cloud top, should stay intact to maintain the structure.
