Daily Outlook 14-07-2014

Euro (1.3603) has been solidifying in the more extensive scope of 1.35-1.37 throughout the previous 6 weeks and may keep doing so. Presently it may achieve the 1.3650-1.37 afresh before switching towards the lower end.

Dollar-Yen (101.36) keeps on traing sideways in the old scope of 101.20-102.75 almost as expected after the false break down t 101.07 and there is still no indication of a break impending. Euro-Yen (137.87) is exchanging beneath the 2 month old scope of 138-140 and any failure to rapidly return inside that go may drag the cost down to the long haul channel backing of 137 or even 136.30.

Pound (1.7114) is unaffected by each one of those happenings in ECB or US and continues uniting at the more elevated amounts for almost two weeks. Presently it may achieve 1.72 of course or considerably higher after the current amendment closes.

Aussie (0.9400) is stuck in the band of 0.9320-0.9500 throughout the previous 5 weeks. A break over 0.9525 may bring about a rally towards 0.98 however a break beneath 0.9320 would bring about a drop to the long haul backing of 0.92. Anticipate that sideways move will proceed till a breakout happens in either bearing.

Gold (1334.92) is steady for the time being keeping in mind exchanging over 1330, it may target safety close to 1350-1360 on the upside. Close term rally is in energy.

Dollar-Yen (101.80) keeps exchanging sideways in the scope of 101-102, which still hints at no breaking. On a break over 102, some more skip to 102.25-50 may be seen.

Pound (1.6975) has made a Marubozu week after week candle with solid bearish ramifications in the short term. On the off chance that the former example is kept up, then this progressing amendment may end close to 1.6890 levels before turning around for an alternate new high.

Aussie (0.9395) has been rejected from the larger amounts almost as expected and the 5-week long band of 0.9320-0.9500 may proceed for a couple of more days.

Gold (1302.92) bobbed up forcefully on Friday from 1287 not surprisingly however while beneath 1325, bearish weight still exists. Tumbling to 1280-1260 appears a plausibility in the close term while the general pattern stays down.

The advance estimate of US Q2 GDP may affect the Euro in a big way today as can the FOMC decision. With Dollar Index reaching close to the 8-10 months old supply zone in 81.40-50, anything is possible now including a short term top for the Dollar. Keep cautious tonight.

Euro (1.3411) is testing the 200 week MA and the FOMC decision today may decide if it will hold or not right now though Euro looks ready for a journey to 1.33 or 1.31 in the next few days. Any attempt to bounce will face supply from 1.3475-1.3500.

Dollar-Yen (102.12) is trading close to the resistance of 102.25-30 with no strong bias and the price action here may decide if it will rise towards 102.80 or return to 101.50-10 levels. Euro-Yen (136.97) is trading sideways in 1.3630-1.3730 on the back of equally weakening Euro and a weak Yen but it may still drop further if fails to overcome 1.3770 levels in the coming days.

Pound (1.6949) has created a Marubozu weekly candle with strong bearish implication in the short term. If the prior pattern is maintained, then this ongoing correction may end near 1.6890-75 levels before reversing for another new high.

Aussie (0.9381) has been rejected from the higher levels just as expected and the 5-week long band of 0.9320-0.9500 may continue for a few more days.

Gold (1299.63) is trading lower. The correction that started from 1345 is still not over and has some room on the downside towards 1280.5. Long term bearishness is still in force while below 1350-1400. Falling to1280-1260 seems a possibility in the longer run.

Dollar-Yen (102.76) hit a 3 month high at 103.09 after the US information yet may think that it hard to climb further to 103.50-104. A sideways move in the extended scope of 101.-103 looks more likely now. Euro-Yen (137.68) bounced higher on the over of a forcefully debilitated Yen however for real quality, a break over 1.3850 is essential.

Pound (1.6949) is attempting to turn around precisely from our target level of 1.6890 and keeping with the prior example, we may finish up forcefully that the amendment has finished. Purchasers may rise here with a stoploss underneath 1.6885 for a fabulous danger reward degree.

Aussie (0.9327) hit a 3 month low at 0.93 levels and unless it figures out how to exchange over 0.9350-60 soon, the bears may endeavor to push it down to 0.9250 levels. At this time, the whole more extensive band of 0.9250-0.9550 is grinding away.

Gold (1294.69) has additionally dropped after better US GDP turned out and the US values went down. Right now exchanging simply over 1292.8, it may head towards 1280.5.

bulls and as a result, it has come down to the major channel support of 0.9250 as expected which must hold to protect the uptrend.

Daily Outlook 25-08-2014

Euro (1.3202) has taken a big hit after the Jackson Hole meet as it trades around 1.32. With no sign of strength emergent, it definitely looks destined for our target of 1.31. Resistance at 1.3330-50 and support in 1.3250-25.

Dollar-Yen (104.18) is trading at a 7-month high but looks a bit overstretched now with a short term correction looking probable from 104.50-90. Interestingly,

Euro-Yen (137.55) has been rejected from the upper end of the 3-week range of 135.75-138. A successful break above 138 would signal a rally towards 139.00-25, even 140.

Pound (1.6559) has nearly reached our short term target of 1.6525-1.6470. But any attempt to bounce will face selling pressure from 1.6650-6700.

Aussie (0.9313) remains unchanged and keeps the range of 0.92-0.95 intact. Play the range as long as it remains unbroken with the median line at 0.9350-80.

Gold (1278.771) has bounced slightly from support near 1270 on the weekly and 3-day charts and while that holds we may see some more sessions on the positive side ranging in the 1270-1295 region. A break below 1270 if seen, could take it down to 1260-1250 in the longer term.
