Foreign Exchange Price & Time at a Glance:
Price & Time Analysis: EUR/USD
ChartPrepared by Kristian Kerr
EUR/USD fell sharply in Aisa to trade at its lowest level in 4-weeks before finding support at a Gann level realted to the year’s low around 1.0950
Our near-term trend bias is lower in the euro while below 1.1240
Immediate focus is now on 1.0950 ahead of critical support at 1.0820
A very minor turn window is seen tomorrow
A close back over 1.1240 would turn us positive on the euro
EUR/USD Strategy: Like the short side while below 1.1240.
Instrument | Support 2 | Support 1 | Spot | Resistance 1 | Resistance 2 |
EUR/USD | *1.0920 | 1.1040 | 123.30 | 1.1155 | *1.1240 |
Price & Time Analysis: USD/CAD
ChartPrepared by Kristian Kerr
USD/CADcontinues to consolidate below within a meidan line channel connecting the March and June highs
Our near-term trend bias is negative while below 1.2385
A close below 1.2225 is needed to re-instill downside momentum in the rate
A minor turn window is seen today/tomorrow
A daily above 1.2385 would turn us positive on USD/CAD
USD/CAD Strategy: Square
Instrument | Support 2 | Support 1 | Spot | Resistance 1 | Resistance 2 |
USD/CAD | *1.2225 | 1.2275 | 1.2340 | *1.2385 | 1.2500 |
Focus Chart of the Day: USD/JPY
USD/JPY opened sharply lower in Asia and traded down to test the breakout point of the 6-month bullish consolidation pattern near 122.00 before bouncing aggressively in Pavlovian fashion as traders searched out yet another gap fill. While under the mid-June high of 124.40 there is plenty of immediate downside risk in the rate as the December/March closing highs around 121.40 and the measured move of the early June decline at 121.00 remain clear downside attractions. However, the broader technical picture is still pretty bullish following the May breakout to multi-year highs and it would probably take aggressive weakness under the trendline connecting the January/April lows around 120.50 to invalidate the medium-term positive structure in place (and trigger a more ominous false pattern breakdown scenario). Clear traction over 124.40 is needed to re-focus attention higher.
