Foreign Exchange Price & Time at a Glance:
Price & Time Analysis: EUR/USD
ChartPrepared by Kristian Kerr
EUR/USD continues to consolidate below the 50-day moving average near 1.1100
Our near-term trend bias is higher in the exchange rate while above 1.0920
A daily close above 1.1100 is needed to trigger another push higher in the euro
A very minor turn window is eyed today
A close back under 1.0920 would turn us negative again on EUR/USD
EUR/USD Strategy: Square.
Instrument | Support 2 | Support 1 | Spot | Resistance 1 | Resistance 2 |
EUR/USD | *1.0920 | 1.1000 | 1.1065 | *1.1100 | 1.1155 |
Price & Time Analysis: GBP/USD
ChartPrepared by Kristian Kerr
GBPUSDcontinues to consolidate below the 61.8% retracement of the June-Jule decline at 1.5700
Our near-term trend bias is negative while below this level
A move below the 200-day moving average near 1.5400 is needed to re-instill downside momentum in the exchange rate
A turn window of some importance is eyed late this week
A daily close above 1.5700 would turn us positive on cable
GBP/USD Strategy: Like the short side while below 1.5700.
Instrument | Support 2 | Support 1 | Spot | Resistance 1 | Resistance 2 |
GBP/USD | *1.5400 | 1.5465 | 1.5630 | 1.5670 | *1.5700 |
Focus Chart of the Day: FXCM US DOLLAR INDEX
The FXCM US Dollar Index (equally weighted basket of USD versus EUR, JPY, GBP & AUD) failed again last week near the 78.6% retracement of the April – May decline in the 12,050 area. There is some vulnerability in the index heading into the FOMC decision this afternoon after yesterday’s break of a minor trendline. However, we would need to see last week’s low around 11,975 give way to trigger a double top on the daily and prime the market for a more serious correction. Traction over 12,050 would alleviate our budding concerns of a correction and set the stage for a re-test of the April high.
