MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

After the EURUSD formed a bottom at 1.3000 (S2) the pair rose and penetrated upwards all of our resistance levels forming a new high (intraday) at 1.3147 (R1). If it breaks above that level we can expect a target at 1.3214 (R2). On the other hand if a break occurs below the first support at 1.3047 (S1) expect the price to retest 1.3000 (S2) a strong technical and psychological level for the bulls.

EUR/USD unchanged above 1.3120

EUR/USD kept during the Asian trade with its tight range since late Monday in NY, showing no change today from yesterday's open in Asia-Pacific, trading at 1.3123 as last, with a session high at 1.3140, and a low at 1.3109. Risk appetite also had another round in the local share markets, with Nikkei higher by +1.81% despite the bad Chinese housing data coming out, and gold also on the rise above $1650. Yen selling was the way to go today in the Asian trade. For the London session ahead everybody will be waiting for tomorrow's 10 year Spanish bond auction, as for today's agenda there will only be two significant risk events EUR related during the European morning, current account for the EU

The AUD/USD has slipped below 1.0400 after a collection of Aussie negative news coming down the pipe just as the HK market prints its first ticks. The pair has failed to break yesterday's high at 1.0415, pulling back to current 1.0396 level.

EURUSD didn’t made any significant moves yesterday as it traded in a consolidation mode between the 1.3090 (S1) and 1.3153 (R1) levels. A break below 1.3090 would suggest a target of 1.3047 (S2) and further fall will then focus on 1.3000 (S3) a strong technical and psychological level. On the other hand if the price manages to stay above the first support (S1) we expect the price to retest 1.3153 (R1) and a break above that level will concentrate our focus on 1.3214 (R2).

A break above 1.5951 (R1) would suggest a target of 1.5984 (R2) and a further rise will then focus on the next target at 1.6048 (R3). On the downside, if the price breaks below the first support level of 1.5909 (S1) we can expect retesting of 1.5858 (S2).

EUR/USD capped below 1.3150 ahead of German IFO business climate

EUR/USD kept on tightening its trading range once again during the Asia-Pacífic session in the last trading day of the week in the region, last at 1.3145, with session highs at 1.3154 and lows at 1.3128. Daily 14 ATR volatility indicator shows a record low reading since early December last year, indicative of the very thin range the pair has trade within this week, ahead of a pretty bussy next week. Local share markets trade with no exception in the red with Nikkei down by -0.39%. The London session ahead has a main risk even in the form of German Ifo Business Climate index, expected to come in line with previous, which will set the pace for EUR/USD at 08:00 GMT, till next key risk event follows thru at 12:30 GMT in the form of US CPI figures. IMF and G20 meetings also start today, with French first round elections to take place Sunday, and Sarkozy starting to feel the pain in the polls.

The EUR/AUD cross has touched a fresh 7-day high of 1.2736 this Friday in Asia, largely on the back of Aussie weakness after the export price index fell 7.0% in the first quarter versus expectations of a 0.2% decline, adding to views that Australia’s terms of trade are poised to cool in the months ahead. The pair is now at 1.2730 vs. 1.2714 late Thursday in New York, recording a modest 0.1% gain on the day, amid a relatively quiet session in FX. AUD/USD trades at 1.0320 vs 1.0322 before the release.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

EURUSD didn’t made any significant moves yesterday as it traded in a trading range between 1.3153 (R1) and 1.3057 (S1) level. The only difference from the last trading session is that the pair is moving just below the first resistance level. We remain flat on EURUSD until we see a clear break out and in which direction it will move to develop an uptrend or a downtrend with more reliable support and resistance levels. No position.

A break above 1.6072 (R1) would suggest a target of 1.6129 (R2) and a further rise will then focus on the next target at 1.6178 (R3). On the downside, if the price breaks below the first support level of 1.6009 (S1) we can expect retesting of 1.5963 (S2).

EUR/USD steady below 1.3200

EUR/USD has been around the 1.3200 round mark up and down during Asian session, last at 1.3194, printing session lows at 1.3177 and highs at 1.3209, slightly below Friday's close. Local share markets trade in the red overall, with Nikkei index down by -0.19%. For the London session ahead not many big risk events Euro related will come out but PMI figures, first French one at 07:00 GMT, followed by Germany one half hour later, and EU manufacturing PMI at 08:00 GMT, all of them expected to come slightly better than previous.

Investors are fleeing the Australian Dollar through the Asian session on a lower-than-expected Australian PPI print, which came at +1.4 YoY, -0.3 QoQ actual against 2.2%, 0.4% consensus, respectively. The Australian Dollar had been trading sluggish in the lead-up to the event as equity markets turned from flat to red territory despite last Friday's risk appetite mood. The results make the case for an RBA rate cut in the next policy meeting even more likely now.

EUR/USD quiet in Asia despite markets turmoil; holds above 1.3150

EUR/USD is quietly trading within a descending tight channel of less than 20 pips wide 1.3145/57 since NY close, last at 1.3152, despite big moves in Aussie and Yen in Asia-Pacífic trade. EUR/AUD is currently printing fresh 2-week highs at 1.2822 after much lower than expected Aus 1Q CPI showed a 0.1% increase while some +0.6% was expected, which opens the RBA doors for a rate cut next meeting May 1st. Local share markets are trading overall deep in the red. London session ahead brings a relatively quiet agenda in EUR macro data related with only EU industrial new orders at 09:00 GMT, though several sovereign debt auctions will take place, including short term Spanish one and longer term Italy and Netherlands from 08:00 to 09:00 GMT. Market will test Netherlands yields after recent government debacle.

AUD/USD has come under a new round of selling pressure on risk-off flows after soft consumer inflation data from down under, which has reinforced the case for a 25 basis point interest rate cut by the RBA at its meeting next week, and a possible 50 basis point rate cut over the next few months. The pair has pushed to a fresh 2-week low of 1.0246, down 0.7% from 1.0318 late Monday in New York.

On the other hand if the price manages to stay below our first resistance level of 1.3181 (R1) then we expect the price to retest 1.3118 (S1) and a break below that level then the expected target is at 1.3057 (S2).

Look for short positions in today’s trading session, as this is supported by the fact that both of our Moving Averages are turned bearish and are proving a strong resistance to the price. A stop loss should be placed at 81.20 (R1).

The pair has not moved much since yesterday's NY open, closing the gap lower with which opened Monday with yesterday's highs at 1.3220 ahead of today's FOMC at 16:30 GMT and further economic projections and press conference at 18:00-18:15 GMT. The London session ahead will also bring ECB chairman Mario Draghi testifying before European Parliament's Economic and Monetary Committee in Brussels at 07:00 GMT, German 30 year bond auction at 09:00 GMT, and UK GDP at 08:30 GMT which could have an impact on EUR/GBP.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

EURUSD has been moving upwards since the middle of April and the bulls face a major hurdle at the 1.3226 level (resistance), a level that is significant both, psychologically and technically. A break above 1.3226 (R1) would suggest a target at 1.3287 (R2) and further rise will then be limited to 1.3351 (R3). On the other hand if the price manages to stay below our first resistance level then we expect the price to retest 1.3180 (S1) and if a break occurs below that level the expected target is at 1.3118 (S2).

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

GBPUSD didn’t make any significant moves in yesterday’s trading session apart from a false break out above 1.6150. Following that the price fell and trapped in a trading range between yesterday’s current support and resistance levels. Our recommendation for today’s trading session is no position until we see a clearer trend direction. No position.

EUR/USD holds steady ahead of EZ, Germany data

EUR/USD has traded a very limited range in Asia between 1.3215 and 1.3232, hovering below its 3-week high after the dollar took a recent hit on USD-negative comments from the Fed, in particular, that the central bank stands ready to use additional measures (more QE) if necessary, which fueled a broad greenback selloff. In the European session ahead, the risk focus for EUR will be Euro-zone consumer confidence data along with Euro-zone economic and industrial confidence data for April, due for release at 09:00 GMT. A few hours later, at 12:30 GMT, German CPI figures are to be published, with economists anticipating a +2.0% reading in the year to April.

EUR/JPY extended its bounce from the 50% retracement of the 104.60/107.98 upswing in overnight trading, reaching the 107.65 price zone before closing at 107.50. So far in Asia, the pair is edging lower, on the verge of losing all of the previous day’s gains, last at 107.33.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

The EURUSD didn’t make any significant moves in yesterday’s trading session as it moved between the first support and resistance level.

A break below 1.3180 will confirm our short positions targeting 1.3118 (S2) and a further fall will be limited to 1.3057 (S3). On the other hand, if the pair breaks above the first resistance level of 1.3234 (R1), we would expect the price to retest 1.3275 (R2) and a further rise will then focus at 1.3341(R3).

After that the price bounced from 81.00 level and moved upwards successfully penetrating our resistance level. It seems that the pair is gaining momentum and is moving towards 81.77. A break above that level would suggest a target at 82.42 (R2) a strong technical level. Look for long positions above 81.77 (R1) targeting 82.42 (R2).

EUR/USD quiet around 1.3200

EUR/USD is currently at 1.3203, holding below yesterday's lows, previous to the S&P announcement of the Spanish sovereign debt downgrade two notches from A to BBB+. The pair fell from NY close price around 1.3240 to as low as 1.3178 on the news, recovering from there till current quotes with not much of a move since then, for the last 4 hours moving in a 20 pip range. The session ahead for London shows a moderately soft agenda in terms of EUR data related, with GfK German consumer climate and German import prices on monthly basis at 06:00 GMT, followed by French consumer spending 45 minutes later, and several Spanish minor data coming out along the European morning. Market will also pay attention to Italian bond auctions at 09:00 GMT, in order to find what resulting yields come out from the auctions.

The cross EUR/AUD is currently trading at 1.2717 near a double session low, down from a 3-day move lower started Tuesday at double 1.2835 highs following much worse than expected CPI numbers from Australia. It is down by -0.34% since yesterday's Asia-Pacific opening price

EURUSD trapped in Trading Range

EUR/USD is currently at 1.3249, near the upper bound of the tiny range the pair has traded into this Monday in Asia-Pacific, with main markets Japan and China closed for Golden Week holiday. US and European share markets point for a marginal higher open, according to their futures. For the London session ahead agenda shows German retail sales at 06:00 GMT as EUR macro data related, followed by EU M3 money supply and private loans at 08:00 GMT and CPI figures at 09:00 GMT, as well as short term sovereign debt auctions from France along the European morning.

Despite the Bank of Japan expanded its QE program by JPY5trn to JPY70trn last Friday in Asia, an outcome in line with expectations, the measure seems to have underwhelmed the market, which continues to buy the Yen ignoring the recent aggressive monetary easing.

EUR/AUD back to last week highs above 1.2800

EUR/AUD is shooting up after RBA cut 50pbs to 3.75% sending AUD/USD to fresh 4-day lows now around 1.0340, while EUR/USD is climbing higher now stalling below 1.3260, making the cross reaching the 1.2825 mark. The cross is higher by more than 170 pips in the week or a +1.29% increase, while more than half of that is just from the RBA just released rates. EUR/AUD is stalling ahead of past Tuesday's highs at 1.2836, printing a fresh session high at 1.2825, last at 1.2812 bids. Most countries in Europe will close today on Labor Day holiday, drying up liquidity during London session, with no EUR data related being published.

With Nikkei index open falling again below the 9500 key figure losing some -0.98%, USD/JPY trades at 79.87 off from session highs at 79.93, and bouncing from double intraday low at 79.75 near NY close.

On the downside, if the price breaks below the first support level of 1.3208 (S1) we can expect retesting of 1.3156 (S2). A further decline will then bring focus to the next support level at 1.3104(S3).
