EUR/USD - Weekly Report:

eur-usd-technical-analysis-16dec2013.png


The pair started this week’s trading slightly to the upside but is still limited below Linear Regression Indicators and 88.6% correction showing on graph. Therefore the possibility of moving to the downside is available this week affected by the bearish harmonic Bat Pattern. Stochastic is approaching overbought areas supporting the suggested negativity.

Of note, breaching 1.3830 could fail the harmonic pattern and trigger a new bullish wave.


Support: 1.3715, 1.3655, 1.3600, 1.3580, 1.3565

Resistance: 1.3775, 1.3800, 1.3835, 1.3880, 1.3910

Recommendation:
Based on the above, sell the pair below 1.3755 targeting 1.3705, 1.3655 then 1.3565 and stop-loss above 1.3835

If the stop-loss was triggered, buy the pair above 1.3835 targeting 1.3880, 1.3910 then 1.3990 and stop-loss below 1.3770



GBP/USD - Weekly Report:

gbp-usd-technical-analysis-16dec2013.png


Breaking 1.6360 followed by stabilizing below 23.6% correction at 1.6315 showing on graph confirmed the downside move. Trading below 1.6410 keeps the bearish possibility this week but stabilizing below 1.6360 is better to strengthen these expectations. The suggested target of the current downside move is 38.2% correction followed by 50% and 51.8% corrections respectively, as breaking them will trigger the possibility of touching the next level. Linear Regression Indicators are negative supporting our expectations.


Support: 1.6260, 1.6230, 1.6155, 1.6120, 1.6085

Resistance: 1.6315, 1.6360, 1.6410, 1.6475, 1.6550

Recommendation:
Based on the above, sell the pair below 1.6310 targeting 1.6230, 1.6155 and 1.6085, stop-loss above 1.6410



USD/JPY - Weekly Report:

usd-jpy-technical-analysis-16dec2013.png


The pair moved to the downside with the beginning of this week but is still within the ascending channel as shown on graph. Stability above 102.50 keeps the bullish possibility available again, as the pair has to break 101.70 to confirm a bearish correction. We will benefit from approaching 101.70 to enter an overbought area, whereas we bet on the overall upside move meanwhile breaking 101.70 will trigger a downside move that might be strong.


Support: 102.50, 102.00, 101.70, 101.25, 100.40

Resistance: 103.10, 103.95, 104.10, 104.65, 105.40

Recommendation:
Based on the above, buy the pair above 102.55 targeting 103.10, 103.95 then 104.65 and stop-loss below 101.70

If the stop-loss was triggered, sell the pair below 101.25 targeting 100.80, 1.3385 then 100.40 and stop-loss above 102.55
