Weekly Foreign Exchange Price & Time at a Glance:
Weekly Price & Time Analysis: EUR/USD

Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr
- EUR/USD has rallied steadily over the past week to test the 78.6% retracement of the March/April decline near 1.3900
- Our broader bias is negative on the Euro while below 1.3970
- Back under 1.3730 is needed to re-instill downside momentum
- A cycle turn window is eyed next week
- Only over 1.3970 turns broader outlook positive
Weekly EUR/USD Strategy: May look to sell against 1.3970.

Weekly Price & Time Analysis: USD/JPY

Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr
- USD/JPY has come under steady pressure this past week to again challenge the 4th square root relationship of the years’ high at 101.35
- Our broader bias is negative in the rate while below 104.40
- A close under 101.35 will signal a resumption of the broader decline
- Late next week is a potentially important cycle turn window
- Only strength over 104.40 will turn us positve on USD/JPY
Weekly USD/JPY Strategy: We like tactical short positions in USD/JPY while below 104.40 on a weekly close basis.

Weekly Price & Time Analysis: GOLD

Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr
- XAU/USD has recovered smarlty over the past week from just under the 1285 50% retracement of the December/March advance
- We are negative on the metal while below 1336
- The 1285 area remains key support with a weekly close below needed to signal a resumption of the downtrend
- The next turn window of importance is seen later this month
- A daily close over 1336 will turn us positive on the metal
Weekly XAU/USD Strategy: Like holding reduced short positions while below 1336.
