Trade Idea Update: EUR/USD – Target met and stand aside

Despite intra-day initial rise to 1.3192, the subsequent retreat after meeting renewed selling interest just below the Ichimoku cloud top has justified our bearishness and indicated target at 1.3080 has been met, however, a sustained break of support at 1.3079 (yesterday’s low) is needed to signal recent decline from 1.3486 top has resumed and extend weakness to 1.3050 and possibly 1.3030

Trade Idea: AUD/USD – Sell at 1.0650

Although aussie resumed the decline from 1.0857 top to as low as 1.0473 yesterday, weakening of downward momentum has increased risk of a rebound and recovery to 1.0600 is likely, however, renewed selling interest should emerge below resistance at 1.0665-70 and bring another decline later. A break of said support would extend the fall from 1.0857 top to 1.0450 but near term oversold condition should limit downside to previous support at 1.0425-30.
