Price Time Analysis: EUR/USD
Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr
- EUR/USD traded to its lowest level in over a month Tuesday before finding support at an Andrews line in the 1.3160 area
- Our near-term trend bias is negative on the exchange rate while below 1.3300
- The Andrews line at 1.3160 is now a key level of focus with weakness below ideally on a closing basis needed to signal a downside resumption
- A medium-term turn window is eyed around the second half of next week
- Strength back over the 1.3300 50% retracement of the August to September decline would turn the outlook back to positive
EUR/USD Strategy: Like selling into strength over the next few days.
Price Time Analysis: GBP/USD
Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr
- GBP/USD has moved steaduly higher since finding support on a closing basis last week at the 1×1 Gann angle line of the year-to-date high
- While over 1.5460 our near-term trend bias will remain higher
- The 78.6% retracement at 1.5655 is the next minor upside pivot, but strength over 1.5725 is really required to signal the start of a more important move higher
- A minor cycle turn window seen at the end of the week
- The 50% retracement of the late August decline is near-term support, but only weakness below the 1×1 Gann line at 1.5460 undermines the postive structure in Cable
GBP/USD Strategy: Like buying on weakness next week.
Price Time Analysis: USD/CAD
Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr
- USD/CAD has struggled to overcome resistance at the 1×2 Gann angle line of the of the 2012 closing low in the 1.0560 area
- However, while above the 50% retracement of the July range at 1.0425 our near-term trend bias is higher in the rate
- The 1.0560 remains a critical near-term pivot with strength above required to unlock critical resistance at 1.0610 and above
- A minor cycle turn window is seen early next week
- Weakness below 1.0425 on a closing basis would turn us negative on Funds
USD/CAD Strategy: Like the long side while above 1.0425
Focus Chart of the Day: AUD/USD
In previous Price Times we have written about the potential importance of the early August low as this time period holds a clear Fibonacci time relationship with several important lows of the past 4 years. Last week’s inability to break under .8845 further confirms its importance and raises the possibility that a larger bottoming process is unfolding. Traction over .9230 especially on a weekly closing basis would be further confirmation of this scenario. Only unexpected weakness below .8845 would completely undermine the positive potential time cycle relationship.
