USD/CAD Mid-Day Outlook

USD/CAD Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.2056; (P) 1.2212; (R1) 1.2321

USD/CAD continues to stay in established range of 1.1985 and 1.2389 as triangle consolidation continues. Though, short term outlook remains unchanged. Further rally is still in favor. Also, fall from 1.3005 should have completed at 1.1818. Break of 1.2514 resistance will confirm this case and bring retest of 1.3005/15 resistance zone. On the downside, though, below 1.1985 will indicate that fall from 1.3005 is probably resuming towards 1.1464 support instead.

Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.2104; (P) 1.2165; (R1) 1.2260

The Risk Today

EurUsd Market broke on the upside the November triangle consolidation pattern. It’s been trading as high as 1.3406 yesterday erasing the last 6-week trading range 1.2330 – 1.3298. This may open the way to 1.3500 target equal to 1.3302-1.2334 spread. On the further upside, only a return over 1.4000 (former trendline support) and 1.5000 will confirm release of the 3-month pressure and may put key resistance 1.6000 into focus. Resistance holds 1.4002 former trendline support. Initial resistance holds 1.3406 yesterday high. On the downside, renewed weakness below 1.2430 21st November low may open the way down to trendline support 1.2208. Next long-term support holds 1.1640 November 2005 low. Further support holds 1.0739 September 2003 low. Former resistance 1.3298 holds now initial support.

USD/JPY Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 92.30; (P) 93.94; (R1) 94.82

USD/JPY recovers mildly after hitting 92.64 earlier today. Though, at this point, intraday bias remains on the downside as long as 94.25 minor resistance holds. Decline from 100.54 could extend further to retest 90.92 low. On the upside, above 94.25 will turn intraday outlook neutral first. Also, note that the lack of impulsive structure of the fall from 100.54 so far is still arguing that it might be part of the consolidation that started at 90.92. Above 95.74 will indicate that fall from 100.54 has possibly completed. The corrective structure in turn suggests that rebound from 90.92 is still in progress and stronger rally should be seen to 100.54 or above before completion. Read the rest of this entry »

EUR/USD Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.2695; (P) 1.2824; (R1) 1.3084

EUR/USD surges further to as high as 1.3080 in early US session and at this point, intraday bias remains on the upside as long as 1.2803 minor support holds. As discussed before, rise from 1.2423 should represent another rising leg of the consolidation that started at 1.2329 and further rally could be seen to 1.3290 or above. Though, upside is still expected to be limited below 1.3768 cluster resistance and bring down trend resumption. On the downside, below will turn intraday outlook neutral first. Further break of 1.2423 will indicate that such consolidation has likely completed and recent down trend is resuming for 50% retracement of 0.8223 to 1.6038 at 1.2131 next.

Gold Daily Technical Outlook

Not change in Gold’s outlook as consolidation continues between 717.1 and 778.3. The development so far argues that it’s in form of a triangle pattern which could be completing. As discussed before, below 717.10 will indicate that such consolidation from 684.6 has completed. In such case, retest of 684.60 low should be seen first and then 100% projection of 1033.9 to 739.8 from 936.3 at 642.2. On the upside, while another rise cannot be ruled out for the moment, we’d still expect upside to be limited below 824.5 resistance and bring down trend resumption. Read the rest of this entry »

EUR/USD Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.2555; (P) 1.2628; (R1) 1.2689

EUR/USD’s strong rally in early US session suggests that rebound from 1.2389 is resuming. At this point, intraday bias is mildly on the upside as long as 1.2585 minor support holds. Further rise is in favor to 1.3290 high and 100% projection of 1.2329 to 1.3290 from 1.2389 at 1.3350 to complete the consolidation from 1.2329. Nevertheless, upside is expected be limited below 1.3768 cluster resistance and bring down trend resumption. On the downside, below 1.2585 will flip intraday bias back to the downside and break of 1.2389 will be an important indication that consolidation from 1.2329 has completed and recent down trend has resumed for next target of 50% retracement of 0.8223 to 1.6038 at 1.2131

Gold Daily Technical Outlook

Gold continues to stay in established range without any direction. Consolidation from 684.60 is still in progress and is probably in form of a contracting triangle. Having said that, further upside cannot be ruled out as long as 698.2 minor support holds but we’d still expect such consolidation to be limited below 824.5 support turned resistance and bring down trend resumption. On the downside, below 698.2 will be an early alert that such consolidation has completed. It will flip intraday bias back to the downside for retesting 684.6 low first. Break will confirm recent down trend has resumed.

In the bigger picture, correction from 1033.9 is still in force and should be targeting next key support zone of 100% projection of 1033.9 to 739.8 from 936.3 at 642.2 and 61.8% retracement of 371.3 to 1033.9 at 624.41. On the upside, while some rebound might be seen, break of 936.3 is needed to confirm that fall from 1033.9 has completed. Otherwise, medium term outlook will remain bearish.

GBP/USD Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.4609; (P) 1.4781; (R1) 1.4907

GBP/USD’s recovery from 1.4557 extends further today and with 4 hours MACD staying well above signal line, an intraday low should be in place. Some more consolidation is in favor. Above 1.4557 will encourage stronger recovery towards 4 hours 55 EMA (now at 1.5327). But upside should be limited below 1.5600 support turned resistance and bring fall resumption. On the downside, below 1.4557 will target mentioned 100% projection of 1.7630 to 1.5269 from 1.6671 at 1.4310.
