Foreign Exchange Price & Time at a Glance:
Price & Time Analysis: EUR/USD
ChartPrepared by Kristian Kerr
- EUR/USD failed again yesterday near the 50-day moving average
- Our near-term trend bias is lower in the euro while below 1.1170
- Last week’s low near 1.0920 remains a near-term pivot ahead of the critical June low at 1.0820
- A minor turn window is eyed here
- A close back over 1.1170 would turn us positive on EUR/USD
EUR/USD Strategy: Like the short side while below 1.1170.
Instrument | Support 2 | Support 1 | Spot | Resistance 1 | Resistance 2 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
EUR/USD | *1.0920 | 1.1000 | 1.1015 | *1.1170 | 1.1240 |
Price & Time Analysis: NZD/USD
ChartPrepared by Kristian Kerr
- NZD/USD continues to consolidate above .6600
- Our near-term trend bias is lower in the kiwi while below .6850
- The June 2010 low around .6560 is the next downside attraction for the exchange rate
- A minor Fibonacci turn window is eyed here
- A daily close back over .6850 would turn us positive again on NZD/USD
NZD/USD Strategy: Like only a reduced short position while below .6850.
Instrument | Support 2 | Support 1 | Spot | Resistance 1 | Resistance 2 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
NZD/USD | *.6560 | .6605 | .6680 | .6795 | *.6850 |
Focus Chart of the Day: USDOLLAR
The FXCM US DOLLAR Index (equally weighted basket of USD vs EUR, GBP, JPY & AUD) continues to lack much direction in a medium-term context, but there is some evidence that this could be changing. Over the past week or so the index has triggered an inverse head & shoulders pattern (best seen on the 4-hour chart) and broken above the trendline connecting the April/June highs just under 12,000. Momentum has since fallen off a bit, but attention remains on the June high and the 78.6% retracement of the April/May range near 12,050 as traction above there would likely signal the start of a more important push to the upside in the index. Weakness back under 11,920 would undermine these recent near-term positive technical developments.
