Orders and Options Watch

US Session: Orders and Options Watch

EUR: Despite falling to another 22-month low of 1.2516 earlier today in European session (on soft PMI readings out of France), short-covering lifted the pair and the release of much weaker-than-expected U.S. durable goods less transportation orders (came in negative) also put some pressure on the greenback and offers at 1.2600 were filled, however, fresh sell orders should emerge around 1.2640-50 and also at 1.2690-00. On the downside, some bids are now seen at 1.2550-60 and also at 1.2510-20 in good size(for protection of option barrier at 1.2500).

Although yesterday’s rally to 0.9572 signals recent upmove is still in progress and dollar did retest indicated previous resistance at 0.9595 as suggested in our previous update, loss of near term upward momentum should prevent sharp move beyond 0.9605-10 (61.8% projection of 0.9115-0.9500 measuring from 0.9368) and reckon 0.9650 would hold, from has increased for a minor correction to take place.
