Forex Trade Ideas

Trade Idea Update: USD/CHF – Buy at 0.9380

As the greenback has retreated after intra-day brief rise to 0.9471, suggesting minor consolidation would be seen and test of the Kijun-Sen (now at 0.9409) would be seen, however, previous resistance at 0.9372 should limit downside and bring another rise later. A break of said resistance would extend recent upmove to 0.9500-05 (1.236 times projection of 0.8931-0.9335 measuring from 0.9002)

Trade Idea: EUR/JPY – Sell at 103.75

Although the single currency has fallen again after brief recovery yesterday, loss of near term downward momentum should prevent sharp fall below 101.00 and risk has increased for a corrective rebound, above yesterday’s high of 102.87 would bring retracement to 103.25-30 but renewed selling interests should emerge around 10375-80 and bring another decline. A break of 101.00 would extend recent downtrend to 100.50
