Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.3049; (P) 1.3134 (R1) 1.3241; More.

EUR/USD failed to break through 1.3233 resistance and dipped again today as consolidation continues. Intraday bias remains neutral for the moment. Sustained break of 38.2% retracement of 1.4246 to 1.2625 at 1.3244 will resume the rebound from 1.2625 and target 61.8% retracement at 1.3627. On the downside, break of 1.2931 minor support will suggest that corrective rise from 1.2625 was already finished and the larger decline from 1.4939 is likely resuming for a new low below 1.2625.

2012 Forecast: AUD Boosted By Speculations Over Fed's QE3 In The Near-Term

Trade Idea Update: GBP/USD – Sell at 1.5910

Although yesterday’s rally to 1.5884 signals recent upmove from 1.5234 low is still in progress and further gain to 1.5900-10 would be seen, however, loss of near term upward momentum should prevent sharp move beyond 1.5940-50 (50% projection of 1.5321-1.5798 measuring from 1.5701) and bring retracement of recent upmove. Below previous resistance at 1.5798 would bring test of the Ichimoku cloud top (now at 1.5749)
