Foreign Exchange Price Time at a Glance:
Price Time Analysis: EUR/USD
Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr
- EUR/USD is in consolidation mode above the 9th square root relationshipof the 2013 low near 1.3765
- Our near-term trend bias is lower in EUR/USD while below 1.3930
- The 1.3765 level is an important near-term pivot with a move below needed to signal a continuation of the recent decline
- A cycle turn window is seen around the second half of the week
- Only aggressive strength back over 1.3930 on a daily close basis would turn us positive on the Euro
EUR/USD Strategy: We like selling into strength over the next few days.
Price Time Analysis: AUD/USD
Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr
- AUD/USD overcame the 61.8% projection of the Jan/Feb advance near .9150 to trade at its highest level since early December on Tuesday
- Our near-term trend bias is higher in the Aussie while over .9060
- The 5th square root relationship of the year’s low at .9160 is immediate resistance ahead of an important Fibonacci convergence just above .9200
- A Gann cycle turn window is eyed later in the week
- A daily close below .9060 would turn us negative on the Aussie
AUD/USD Strategy: We like the long side while over .9060, but may look to trim heading into the latter part of the week.
Focus Chart of the Day: GBP/USD
GBP/USD fell to its lowest level in almost a month and a half yesterday before rebounding sharply from the 161.8% extension of the late February/early March advance near 1.6460. An important cycle turn window related to last year’s low should influence around the end of the week, but will it lead to a high or a low? The price action over the next few days is expected to shape the answer. A continuation of yesterday’s reversal into Friday would set up some sort of secondary top. This our favored scenario as it squares up best with the action we are seeing in some of the other USD pairs. A continuation of the recent decline to new lows into the end of the week, however, would flip the script on us and set up an important low.
