Daily Technical Analysis
1st April 2014
EURUSD
Summary
Monday EURUSD continued to traded higher following its bounce off the 50 to 61.8% Fibonacci support area. This lead to an upward penetration of the moving averages.
Market overview
EURUSD continues to trade in a daily uptrend following the breach of the 1.3741 level being the 24th January swing. This price action has put the daily time frame in gear with the positive weekly trend. However there has been a recent strong correction which has had the effect of creating a bearish head and shoulders pattern that is marked by the ellipse. There has been a break beneath the right shoulder could see EURUSD trade down to trend line support.
Focus on today
This morning EURUSD has opened positively as it trades within the previous days range.
I am this morning monitoring the price action for a potential test of the 1.3875 being the 24th March pivot high.
Alternatively if EURUSD fails to sustain higher prices there is a possibility that this pair trades back to Fibonacci support.
GBPUSD
Summary
Monday GBPUSD continued to trade above the above the prior broken up trend line.
Market overview
GBPUSD has traded above the 1.6668 being the prior isolated pivot high. This price activity has effectively changed the daily trend to up and puts it in line with the bullish weekly outlook.
More recently GBPUSD has experienced a strong downside correction and this has had the effect of creating a large converging triangle consolidation pattern. As GBPUSD has bow bounced off Fibonacci support and with the weekly trend pointing up I would expect this triangle pattern when it breaks to trade higher.
Focus on today
This morning GBPUSD has opened quietly as the price action trades at the highs of the recent up move.
I am today monitoring the price action for a test of the 1.6700 resistance level.
Alternatively if GBPUSD cannot sustain higher prices could see the price action test the 1.6570 support level.
USDJPY
Summary
Monday USDJPY following the break of the 103.00 level yesterday also tested the 103.40 level.
Market overview
The breach of the 102.83 level being the swing high of the 21st February has effectively changed the daily trend to up and therefore putting this time frame into gear with the bullish weekly time frame. The recent price action is now indicating that the 101.00 support level is likely to hold. This is being confirmed by failure of the head and shoulders pattern to break lower.
Focus on today
This morning USDJPY has opened quietly as the price action trades at the highs Monday’s range.
Today I am monitoring a potential test of the 103.40 level.
Alternatively a failure to sustain higher prices could see USDJPY trade down to its averages.
USDCHF
Summary
Monday USDCHF again attempted to break higher only for sellers to come into the market.
Market overview
USDCHF continues to trade in a negative daily and weekly swing bias but the recent price action is beginning to take on a bullish feel to it. I am therefore monitoring signs for a base to be built that will allow for further upside move and a test of the downward sloping trend line. The bullish inverse head and shoulders pattern that is forming puts the price pattern in line with this hypothesis. However daily and weekly bias does continue to be fixed to the downside therefore shorting rallies is still probably the most logical strategy to adopt.
Focus on today
This morning USDCHF has opened negatively as within Monday’s candle range.
Today I am monitoring the price action for a move down from moving average value area.
Alternatively a failure to sustain lower prices could see USDCHF test last week’s high.

Gold
Summary
Monday Gold traded lower as the preice action penetraded the 50% Fibonacci level.
Market overview
Gold continues to trade in a daily uptrend following the breach of the 1267.99 level being the swing high of the 10th December. The break above the large downward sloping trend line adds impetus to the current positive swing bias. Furthermore we have witnessed a large multi month double bottom forming which could indicate a large upside trend reversal is a possibility.
However the weekly time frame continues to point down. That the recent rejection of higher prices has come off a bounce from a downward sloping trend line and Fibonacci resistance level could indicate that the recent rally in Gold is part of a bigger cycle correction that ultimately sends Gold lower.
That Gold has experienced a strong daily time frame correction has pushed the price action towards Fibonacci support and the ability or not of Fibonacci support to push Gold higher will give an indication if the bullish daily up trend or the bearish weekly down trend will win this current battle.
Focus on today
This morning Gold has opened positively as the price within the previous days candle range.
Today I am monitoring the price action for Gold to test the 1270.00 level.

Focus on today
This morning Oil has opened negatively with the price action trading within Monday’s candle range.

GBPUSD
Summary
Friday GBPUSD continued to trade lower as the price action tested the 1.6570 support level.
Market overview
GBPUSD has traded above the 1.6668 being the prior isolated pivot high. This price activity has effectively changed the daily trend to up and puts it in line with the bullish weekly outlook.
More recently GBPUSD has experienced a strong downside correction and this has had the effect of creating a large converging triangle consolidation pattern. As GBPUSD has bow bounced off Fibonacci support and with the weekly trend pointing up I would expect this triangle pattern when it breaks to trade higher.
Focus on today
This morning GBPUSD has opened quietly as the price action trades within the previous days range.
I am today monitoring the price action for a test of the 1.6570 support level.
Alternatively if GBPUSD cannot sustain lower prices could see the price action test the 1.6700 resistance level.
USDJPY
Summary
Friday USDJPY broke down from its highs as the price action traded down to the 8 period moving averages.
Market overview
The breach of the 102.83 level being the swing high of the 21st February has effectively changed the daily trend to up and therefore putting this time frame into gear with the bullish weekly time frame. The recent price action has seen a failure of the head and shoulders pattern which confirms the current upward momentum.
Focus on today
This morning USDJPY has opened bearishly with the price action breaching the 8 period daily moving averages and tests the 103.00 support level.
Today I am monitoring USDJPY for a test of the 103.00 support level and possible move to the 34 period daily moving averages.
Alternatively a failure to sustain lower prices could see USDJPY test the 103.40 resistance level.
USDCHF
Summary
Friday USDCHF attempted to traded above trend line resistance but was not able to hold above it.
Market overview
USDCHF continues to trade in a negative daily and weekly swing bias but the recent price action is beginning to take on a bullish feel to it. That the bullish inverse head and shoulders pattern has now broken to the upside I am now monitoring the possibility that this pattern reaches its upside target of 0.9080.
However daily and weekly bias does continue to be fixed to the downside therefore shorting rallies is still probably the most logical strategy to adopt. I am therefore monitoring the price action as it tests the downward sloping trend line and Fibonacci resistance for signs of a resumption of the down trend.
Focus on today
This morning USDCHF has opened quietly as it trades within Friday’s candle range.
Today I am monitoring the price action to potentially retest the 0.8930 resistance level.
Alternatively a failure to sustain higher prices could see USDCHF test the moving averages.
