EUR/USD

Weekly Trend direction: Bullish

Weekly trend reversal level: 1.3740

Strategy: Whilst above the weekly trend reversal level, buy dips to support levels after an entry signal.

Medium term: The euro has broken above the large flag formation which has dominated the technical picture in 2006. Now, whilst above 1.2900 (1.2800 max), the euro remains in an uptrend which is heading back towards 1.3800, and possibly higher still, towards 1.4100.

Today's trade suggestion: Edging higher but without any impetus and becoming dangerously overbought at levels never seen before for the single currency. The euro appears to be holding up well above 1.3760, but bullish momentum has faded and the danger of a reversal between 1.3850 and the BIG number at 1.4000 is increasing. For today, the same old story - dips should try to hold above first support at 1.3750 And then onwards and upwards to 1.3900 and 1.4000. Below 1.3740 means a weekly reversal and the risk of a significant collapse as weak longs who bought too high up begin to bail out.

Key G7 Support levels: 1.3750

Counter-trend opportunities: SELL 1.4000, stop 1.4040, target 1.3800

Today's trade suggestion: A fractionally new high yesterday, but little change to the picture. Perhaps the news today will tip this one way or the other: Edging higher but without any impetus and becoming dangerously overbought at levels never seen before for the single currency.

EUR/USD

Weekly Trend direction: Bearish

Weekly trend reversal level: 1.3860

Strategy: Whilst below the weekly trend reversal level, sell rallies to resistance levels after an entry signal.

Medium term: The euro has broken above the large flag formation which has dominated the technical picture in 2006. Now, whilst above 1.2900 (1.2800 max), the euro remains in an uptrend which is heading back towards 1.3800, and possibly higher still, towards 1.4100.

Today's trade suggestion: A sudden plunge below the short term trend line was almost inevitable, after days of edging higher without momentum. Now we are testing the longer term trend line (see chart), but we expect that this will eventually give way as well, as the euro corrects towards first key support at 1.3680/60.(Thick red line) As weekly momentum is now bearish, we look to sell into rallies, with first resistance at 1.3780. It is possible to also take counter-trend long positions on clear signs of basing around the above-mentioned key support levels.

Key G7 Resistance levels: 1.3780

Counter-trend opportunities: Buy dips to 1.3660/80 only on clear signs of reversal.

EUR/USD

Weekly Trend direction: Bearish

Weekly trend reversal level: 1.3860

Strategy: Whilst below the weekly trend reversal level, sell rallies to resistance levels after an entry signal.

Medium term: The euro has broken above the large flag formation which has dominated the technical picture in 2006. Now, whilst above 1.2900 (1.2800 max), the euro remains in an uptrend which is heading back towards 1.3800, and possibly higher still, towards 1.4100.

Today's trade suggestion: Plunging towards support at 1.3630 (38.2% of the recent rally), the euro is very oversold and due a bounce. If a medium/long term top is in place at 1.3860 (the jury is still out on that idea) then we still expect a strong bounce to recover 61.8% - 78.6% of last week's fall. There is a good chance for a counter-trend trade at 1.3630, with long positions aimed at 1.3750, and even 1.3800 before new attempts at topping. Watch for rallies to that area this week, looking to sell into reversal signals if/when we get there.

Key G7 Resistance levels: 1.3700, 1.3750

Counter-trend opportunities: Buy at 1.3630, target 1.3700/3750.

Today's trade suggestion: Little change as the euro dithers above the 1.3600 level, but below resistance at 1.3720. Weekly momentum is bearish, which means we still look to sell into rallies, with 1.3720 now seen as an important intermediate top. (above here and 1.3800 should stop any rallies) Wave analysis suggests we still have another leg lower to go, which might take the euro down to 1.3550/70 (200 SMA, previous S/R and 50% Fib), where counter-trend longs might be a possibility. watch to sell at 1.3720, or to buy near 1.3550, only on clear signs of reversal. Below 1.3550 (unlikely on first attempt) means another drop to 1.3400/20. Watch here for a bounce.

Counter-trend opportunities: Buy at 1.3550

Today's trade suggestion: Up to almost the all time high again at 1.3840, and a little higher than we had allowed for (1.3800) With a bit of luck, we will hold below 1.3850, but we must now allow for another spike through here just to rattle the uncertain. This is not an uncommon pattern, but caution is required as a new rally is certainly not out of the question. For today, whilst below 1.3850, the chance of another sudden drop is quite good and we look to sell into rallies/hold shorts from 1.3850 region, with a first target of 1.3720, and then 1.3620.

EUR/USD

Weekly Trend direction: Bearish

Weekly trend reversal level: 1.3860

Strategy: Whilst below the weekly trend reversal level, sell rallies to resistance levels after an entry signal.

Medium term: The euro has broken above the large flag formation which has dominated the technical picture in 2006. Now, whilst above 1.2900 (1.2800 max), the euro remains in an uptrend which is heading back towards 1.3800, and possibly higher still, towards 1.4100.

Today's trade suggestion: We are back above 1.3800, which was slightly unexpected and has clouded the technical picture just a little bit. Still, out model remains bearish, and with a bit of luck, we will hold below 1.3850, but we must now allow for another spike through here just to rattle the uncertain. For today, whilst below 1.3850, the chance of another sudden drop is quite good and we look to sell into rallies/hold shorts from 1.3850 region, with a first target of 1.3720, and then 1.3620.

Key G7 Resistance levels: 1.3850, 1.3900

Counter-trend opportunities: Sell 1.3900/1.3920, stops above 1.3950

EUR/USD

Weekly Trend direction: Bullish

Weekly trend reversal level: 1.3630

Strategy: Whilst above the weekly trend reversal level, buy dips to support levels after an entry signal.

Medium term: The euro has broken above the large flag formation which has dominated the technical picture in 2006. Now, whilst above 1.2900 (1.2800 max), the euro remains in an uptrend which is heading back towards 1.3800, and possibly higher still, towards 1.4100.

Today's trade suggestion: Messy work as we oscillate between 1.3650 and 1.3850, with a lot of volatility and sudden rallies/collapses. The weekly trend direction has marginally reversed to bullish (watch this week's video report to see the caution due to the weekly "piercing pattern") So we look to remain bullish whilst above 1.3630. First target 1.3850, and then the next move to 1.3900/1.4000. It will be very tough to break above 1.3850, so expect a lot of resistance to a new all time high, and a possible failure to do so. Watch for counter-trend opportunities at 1.3850, 1.3900, 1.4000 and 1.4100, because the euro is still due a large corrective decline!

Key G7 Support levels: 1.3650.

Counter-trend opportunities: 1.3850, 1.3900, 1.4000 and 1.4100

Today's trade suggestion: Edging down to 1.3500 and important support. Watch for counter-trend opportunities here. (1.3520 - 1.3480) Bearish momentum means the weekly direction will reverse this week again, so we continue to look to sell into corrective rallies.

Strategy: Whilst below the weekly trend reversal level, sell rallies to resistance levels after an entry signal.

Today's trade suggestion: After the free-fall last week, and with little economic news this week, the Euro is probably going to take some time out to consolidate and moves will probably be comparatively small. We are waiting for rallies to between 1.3550 and 1.3650 to sell into, and this might take place late today or tomorrow. Until then, do as little as possible. First target for short positions would be 1.3400 and then 1.3300.

Today's trade suggestion: A little bit of a recovery from the lows at 1.3360, and we should reach up to 1.3600/1.3650 before more topping activity later this week. We continue to look to sell into rallies to these areas, with first target for short positions at 1.3400 and then 1.3300. Be sure to wait for clear signs of topping before entering

EUR/USD

Weekly Trend direction: Bearish

Weekly trend reversal level: 1.3720

Strategy: Whilst below the weekly trend reversal level, sell rallies to resistance levels after an entry signal.

Medium term: The euro has broken above the large flag formation which has dominated the technical picture in 2006. Now, whilst above 1.2900 (1.2800 max), the euro remains in an uptrend which is heading back towards 1.3800, and possibly higher still, towards 1.4100.

Today's trade suggestion: We have edged up to 1.3680, an important long term resistance level and Fibonacci retracement. We will allow for another fractionally higher rally to 1.3730/50 (the 78.6% Fibonacci level), but hopefully we will hold beneath 1.3700. Weekly momentum remains bearish and the long term outlook is becoming difficult as we approach our medium/long term target levels and the euro becomes increasingly overbought. Targets for the next decline are below 1.3000, but we shall have to take things one week at a time to see how this plays out. For today, hold shorts, sell at 1.3680, stops well above 1.3700, with a first target of 1.3550.

Strategy: Whilst below the weekly trend reversal level, sell rallies to resistance levels after an entry signal.

Medium term: The euro has broken above the large flag formation which has dominated the technical picture in 2006. Now, whilst above 1.2900 (1.2800 max), the euro remains in an uptrend which is heading back towards 1.3800, and possibly higher still, towards 1.4100.

Today's trade suggestion: Pulling back to 38% of the recent rally and the 200 hour SMA. This is a good opportunity to try counter-trend longs, however, weekly momentum remains bearish and the long term outlook is becoming difficult as we approach our medium/long term target levels and the euro becomes increasingly overbought. Targets for the next decline are below 1.3000, but we shall have to take things one week at a time to see how this plays out. For today, we prefer to remain sidelined, as we are near month end and prefer to wait for a clear move one way or the other before trading again next week.

Strategy: Whilst below the weekly trend reversal level, sell rallies to resistance levels after an entry signal.

Medium term: The euro has broken above the large flag formation which has dominated the technical picture in 2006. Now, whilst above 1.2900 (1.2800 max), the euro remains in an uptrend which is heading back towards 1.3800, and possibly higher still, towards 1.4100.

Today's trade suggestion: Holding neatly above 1.3600 yesterday, and it looks as if we might now move higher to retest 1.3750/1.3800. A clear break above 1.3720 means that we resume the longer term bullish trend, and below 1.3550 means that the decline which began last week should continue. A lot now depends on the carry trades which are once again dictating the moves in the Forex market. We prefer to stay out of the market until next week, once a direction has been established. Aggressive traders could try selling at 1.3680/1.3700, with a stop/reverse above 1.3720 for 1.3820.

Today's trade suggestion: Bouncing from the 1.3550 zone again, and we have been range trading for almost two weeks. We should break out one way or the other before the weekend (NFP report on Friday) and so far it looks like the bullish side might prevail. Below 1.3550 means a change in direction and the euro could correct significantly towards 1.3350 and possibly lower. Hold longs and target 1.3800 plus.
