Mid-Day Report: Euro Consolidation Continues, Might Retreat Deeper

Euro continues to consolidate against dollar and yen today and it looks like deeper retreat would be seen in near term. German ZEW economic sentiment improved more than expected to -18.2 in September, the first rise since April. Current situation component, though, dropped to 12.6 versus expectation of 18. Eurozone ZEW economic sentiment also improved to -3.8 comparing to expectation of -16.3. While improvements were shown, the indices stayed in negative territory which still points to to stagnation in German economy. ZEW president Wolfgang Franz also warned that the "debt crisis is not solved yet and the risks for economic activity remain" even though ECB just announced the much welcomed OMT earlier this month.

EUR/USD Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.3075; (P) 1.3123 (R1) 1.3164; More.....

A temporary top should be in place at 1.3171 after hitting 38.2% retracement of 1.4939 to 1.2042 at 1.3149. Intraday bias in EUR/USD is turned neutral first for consolidation. While deeper retreat might be seen, we'd expect downside to be contained by 1.2816 support (38.2% retracement of 1.2255 to 1.3171) and bring rally resumption. Above 1.3171 should pave the way to 1.3486 key resistance, which is close to 50% retracement level.

Forex Trade Ideas

Trade Idea Update: GBP/USD – Sell at 1.6320

Although the British pound resumed recent rise to 1.6273 yesterday and near term upside bias remains for gain towards previous resistance at 1.6304, loss of upward momentum should prevent sharp move beyond 1.6320-25 and reckon 1.6350-55 would hold from here, bring retreat later. Below 1.6210-15 would suggest a minor top is possibly formed and bring test of the Ichimoku cloud bottom (now at 1.6165) but previous resistance at 1.6132 should limit downside.

Trade Idea: EUR/JPY – Sell at 103.40

Despite yesterday’s brief rise to 103.85, the subsequent sharp retreat suggests a temporary top is possibly formed and consolidation with mild downside bias is seen for test of 102.59 support, break there would add credence to this view and correction to 102.00, then 101.50 would follow, however, reckon 101.00-10 would contain weakness and bring another rise later this week.
