EUR/USD Daily Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.3411; (P) 1.3441 (R1) 1.3493; More....

EUR/USD's recovery extends further but is still limited by 1.3486 temporary. Thus, intraday bias remains neutral and more consolidations could be seen. At this point, deeper retreat cannot be ruled out yet and below 1.3366 minor support will target 4 hours 55 EMA (now at 1.330) and below. On the upside, above 1.3486 will extend recent rally towards 61.8% retracement of 1.4246 to 1.2625 at 1.3627 next. As noted before, decisive break of 1.3627 will have near term falling trend line resistance firmly taken out and affirm the case of completion of whole fall from 1.4939 at 1.2625.

Forex Trade Ideas

Trade Idea: EUR/USD – Buy at 1.3420

Despite overnight brief retreat to 1.3389, renewed buying interest emerged just above the Ichimoku cloud bottom and euro has risen in late New York, suggesting recent upmove has resumed and further gain to 1.3509-16 (38.2% Fibonacci retracement of 1.4940-1.2624 and 100% projection of 1.2975-1.3293 measuring from 1.3198) would be seen, however, near term overbought condition should limit upside to previous resistance at 1.3550.

Trade Idea: USD/JPY – Sell at 81.45

Despite yesterday’s fall to 80.01, the subsequent bounce suggests consolidation with mild upside bias would be seen and gain to the upper Kumo (now at 80.84) cannot be ruled out, however, as top has been formed at 81.66, upside should be limited to 81.25 and renewed selling interest should emerge below 81.50, bring another decline later. A break of said support would bring retracement of recent upmove to previous support at 79.89
