Featured Technical Report

EUR/USD Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.3143; (P) 1.3238 (R1) 1.3289; More....

EUR/USD's recovery suggests that a temporary low is in place at 1.3159 and intraday bias is turned neutral. As noted before, as long as EUR/USD staying inside the near term rising channel (support at 1.3152), there is no indication of reversal yet and rise from 1.2625 could extend higher. Above 1.3332 minor resistance should flip bias back to the upside for 1.3486 and above. Nonetheless, sustained break of the channel support will suggest that whole rise from 1.2625 is finished at 1.3486 already. In such case, deeper fall should be seen to 1.2974 support for confirmation.

Forex Trade Ideas

Trade Idea Update: GBP/USD – Buy at 1.5780 or sell at 1.5880

Although cable has recovered after falling to 1.5782, last week’s euro-led selloff suggests bearishness remains for the fall from 1.5993 top to bring retracement of recent upmove to 1.5780 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement of 1.5648-1.5993), however, oversold condition should limit downside to 1.5755-60, bring rebound later. Above 1.5845 would bring rebound to the Kijun-Sen (now at 1.5862) but reckon previous support at 1.5895 would limit upside, bring another decline later.

Trade Idea: EUR/GBP – Sell at 0.8400

Last week’s selloff adds credence to our view that correction from 0.8222 has ended at 0.8506 earlier and consolidation with mild downside bias remains for weakness to 0.8300, however, a sustained breach of 0.8264 support is needed to confirm and bring resumption of recent decline for a retest of 0.8222 and possibly towards 0.8200, otherwise, further choppy trading would take place.
