Mid-Day Report: Dollar Rebounds as Risk Sentiments Turned on China Worry

Dollar rebounds strongly today against most major currencies on risk aversion. Worries on China slowdown weighed down on global equities markets and sent major European indices down more than -1% while US futures point to lower opens. Australian dollar and New Zealand dollar are hardest hit today and down around -1.2% at the time of writing. Technically, as stated in our reports, firstly, EUR/USD and AUD/USD are held below near term resistance while USD/CHF is kept above near term support level in spite of the selloff in dollar since last week. There is no confirmation of reversal. AUD/USD takes the lead by breaking a minor support level to suggest that last week's recovery is finished and is pointing to extension of recent decline. We'll see if other dollar major pairs follow.

EUR/USD Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.3164; (P) 1.3215 (R1) 1.3288; More....

EUR/USD's recovery lost momentum after hitting 1.3265 and retreats sharply today. Near term outlook remains unchanged. With 1.3290 resistance intact, we're still slightly favoring the bearish case that fall from 1.3486 is not finished. Below 1.3141 minor support will flip bias back to the downside and break of 1.2974 will confirm completion of rebound from 1.2625. However, sustained break of 1.3290 will suggest that fall from 1.3486 is finished. More importantly, this will indicate that rise from 1.2625 is still in progress for another high above 1.3486.

Forex Trade Ideas

Trade Idea Update: USD/CHF – Buy at 0.9075

Although dollar has recovered after falling to 0.9093 yesterday and consolidation would be seen, reckon 0.9179-84 (yesterday’s high and current level of the Ichimoku cloud bottom) would limit upside and near term downside risk remains for the fall from 0.9335 to extend one more decline to 0.9085 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement of entire rise from 0.8931-0.9335) but loss of downward momentum should prevent sharp fall below previous support at 0.9072 and bring rebound later.

Trade Idea: AUD/USD – Sell at 1.0670

Although the Australian dollar has retreated after rising to 1.0637 yesterday, as long as support at 1.0422 holds, further consolidation would be seen and another corrective bounce to said resistance cannot be ruled out, however, still reckon 1.0670 resistance would limit upside and bring another decline later. A break of said support at 1.0422 would extend the fall from 1.0857 top to 1.0400 and then previous resistance at 1.0382-87
