USD/CHF Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 0.9442; (P) 0.9490; (R1) 0.9570; More...

USD/CHF's break of 0.9547 confirms resumption of whole rise form 0.7065. Intraday bias is back on the upside and further rally should now be seen towards 0.9916 key resistance. While such rally is anticipated, we'd be cautious on loss of momentum and reversal signal as 0.9916 is an important cluster level. On the downside, below 0.9505 minor support will turn bias neutral and bring retreat. But downside should be contained above 0.9304 support and bring rally resumption.

2012 Forecast: USD to Strengthen Further in First Half of 2012

The US dollar is expected to outperform other major currencies in the first half of 2012. The key reasons for the greenback's glitter are the ongoing sovereign debt crisis in the Eurozone and the relatively strong economic improvement in the US. It is, however, rather difficult to forecast the outlook of the US dollar in the second half of the year as uncertainties related to the pace of recovery in European economies, fiscal tightening in the US and the FED's implementation of QE3 heighten. Moreover, the ability for China to avoid hard landing would be another factor affect USD's outlook.

2012 Elliott Wave Forecast

USD index 2012 Elliott Wave Forecast

Despite falling to as low as 72.70 in H1 2011, dollar index found good support there and staged a rebound from there back to the opening level of 2011, suggesting the major downtrend is not ready to resume yet and wave IV correction is still unfolding as a complex correction. We are keeping our preferred count that a major (A)-(B)-(C) wave has commenced since 1980s with (A) wave ended at 78.19 in 1992, followed by a 3-legged wave (B) ended at 121.02 in 2001 and 5-waver wave (C) is unfolding with wave III ended at 70.70 in 2008.

Orders and Options Watch

US Session: Orders and Options Watch

EUR: The single currency dropped again shortly after the release of better-than-expected U.S. job data (200K NFP vs forecast of 150K and 8.5% unemployment rate vs forecast of 8.7%) and stops below option barrier at 1.2750 were triggered and more stops are tipped at 1.2725 and 1.2700 (where more barriers are located) but some bids from Asian sovereign names are reported further out at 1.2650. On the upside, offers from various parties are lined up from 1.2770 up to 1.2800 with stops building up above 1.2815-20.

Forex Trade Ideas

Trade Idea Update: EUR/USD – Sell at 1.2950

Despite intra-day marginal fall to 1.2763, lack of follow through selling on break of yesterday’s low of 1.2776 and the subsequent rebound suggest a minor low is formed and consolidation with mild upside bias is seen for retracement to 1.2858 (previous support), then towards 1.2900, however, the Ichimoku cloud bottom (now at 1.2914) should limit upside and upper Kumo (now at 1.2954) would attract renewed selling interest, bring another decline later.

Trade Idea: AUD/USD – Buy at 1.0175

Despite this week’s rise to 1.0387, as aussie has continued to move lower from there, suggesting further consolidation below this level would take place and near term downside risk remains for retracement of recent rise to 1.0200 and possibly to 1.0170-75, however, renewed buying interest should emerge around there and bring another rise later. Above said resistance at 1.0387 would extend the move from 0.9667 for gain towards 1.0450/55
