EUR/USD: 1.1495 resistance level tested; AUD/USD: daily correction with symetric triangle pattern to be broken to below (based on the article)

EUR/USD

  • "For now, our bias is for price and retracement resistance at 1.1495 to ideally cap – the October 2015 and April 2016 highs and 78.6% retracement of the August/December decline – with a break below 1.1144/06 needed to mark a fresh top in the range, for a slide back to 1.0883/22 initially."
  • "Above 1.1495 would suggest strength can extend back to the 1.1714 August 2015 high, and more likely 1.1808 – the 38.2% retracement of the 2014/2015 collapse."
  • "With a multi-year top in place we remain of the view this range will eventually be resolved to the downside, for a move to our parity target, but there is a clear risk we could yet see further lengthy ranging first, even a deeper recovery."

EUR/USD Intra-Day Fundamentals: ECB President Draghi Speech and 33 pips price movement

2016-05-02 14:00 GMT | [EUR - ECB President Draghi Speaks]

[EUR - ECB President Draghi Speaks] = The speech at the Asian Development Bank's 49th Annual Meeting, in Frankfurt.

==========

"The global low interest rate environment is a symptom of challenges in the world economy, not its cause. If interest rates are to rise again to sustainably higher levels, it is those underlying causes that need to be addressed. This is true at a global level, and it is true in the euro area."

"In the euro area, we need expansionary macroeconomic stabilisation policy to support demand, starting of course with monetary policy. That will allow inflation to return to our objective and, in time, for policy interest rates to rise back to their long-term levels."

"But monetary policy cannot raise long-term real rates. That can only be achieved by structural reforms that elicit a structural rebalancing of saving and investment. Higher real returns on savings must come through decisive action on the supply side."

"In this context, there is also a third type of policy that would support both demand in the short-term and supply in the medium-term, and which is unique to Europe. That is committed reform of euro area governance that can remove lingering doubts about its future."

Trading the News: ISM Non-Manufacturing (based on the article)

What’s Expected:



Why Is This Event Important:

Despite the ongoing 9 to1 split within the Federal Open Market Committee, Chair Janet Yellen and Co. may come under increased pressure to further normalize monetary policy at the next quarterly meeting June especially as the U.S. economy approaches ‘full-employment.’

How To Trade This Event Risk

Bullish USD Trade: ISM Non-Manufacturing Survey Climbs to 54.8 or Higher
  • Need red, five-minute candle following the print to consider a short trade on EUR/USD.
  • If market reaction favors a bullish dollar trade, sell EUR/USD with two separate position.
  • Set stop at the near-by swing high/reasonable distance from entry; look for at least 1:1 risk-to-reward.
  • Move stop to entry on remaining position once initial target is hit; set reasonable limit.
Bearish USD Trade: Gauge for Service-Based Activity Disappoints
  • Need green, five-minute candle to favor a long EUR/USD trade.

Potential Price Targets For The Release
EURUSD Daily


  • EUR/USD may make a more meaningful run at the August high (1.1713) as it breaks out of the triangle/wedge formation in April, but the pair stands at risk for a near-term pullback as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) struggles to push above 70 and appears to be turning around ahead of overbought territory.
  • Interim Resistance: 1.1760 (61.8% retracement) to 1.1810 (38.2% retracement)
  • Interim Support: Interim Support: 1.0380 (78.6% expansion) to 1.0410 (61.8% expansion)

Trading the News: U.S. Non-Farm Payrolls (based on the article)

What’s Expected:


Why Is This Event Important:

With the U.S. economy approaching ‘full-employment,’ a further improvement in the labor market paired with signs of stronger wage growth may put increased pressure on the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) to raise the benchmark interest rate at the next quarterly meeting in June as the central bank risks falling behind the curve.

Nevertheless, waning business confidence along with the slowdown in household consumption may prompt U.S. firms to scale back on hiring, and a dismal employment report may drag on the U.S. dollar as market participants push out bets for higher borrowing-costs.

How To Trade This Event Risk

Bullish USD Trade: NFP Expands 200K+, Jobless Rate Narrows

  • Need red, five-minute candle following the NFP print to consider a short trade on EUR/USD.
  • If market reaction favors a bullish dollar trade, sell EUR/USD with two separate position.
  • Set stop at the near-by swing high/reasonable distance from entry; look for at least 1:1 risk-to-reward.
  • Move stop to entry on remaining position once initial target is hit; set reasonable limit.
Bearish USD Trade: U.S Employment Report Falls Short of Market Expectations
  • Need green, five-minute candle to favor a long EUR/USD trade.
  • Implement same setup as the bullish dollar trade, just in the opposite direction.

EUR: Gentle Downtrend; AUD: New Targets - Credit Agricole (based on the article)

EUR:


  • "Once again we revise our forecasts for EUR to the upside to account for the recent very disappointing US data, the persistent dovish shift in the Fed’s outlook and the change in the reaction function of the ECB."
  • "While we expect the Fed to resume its tightening cycle later this year, we believe that the shift in the ECB's focus away from trying to cheapen EUR and towards boosting domestic demand through the Eurozone lending channel is here to stay. Our new projections still see EUR/USD on a gentle downtrend, mainly because we still expect the Fed to deliver a total of four rate hikes this and next year."

AUD:


  • "The RBA surprised markets with a 25bp rate cut this month, putting an end to the AUD rally. From current levels, we see limited scope for further AUD/USD upside given AUD long positions are now at extended levels (as indicated by our G10 positioning index – Longs in commodity currencies starting to look stretched); moreover, sentiment towards the USD is already quite bearish."
  • "We retain our bearish view on AUD/USD supported by diverging monetary policies and the arguments stated above. We forecast AUD/USD to maintain a downward trajectory over the next year, reaching 0.70 in Q217."
