Foreign Exchange Price Time at a Glance:
Price Time Analysis: USD/JPY
Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr
- USD/JPY has come under steady pressure since failing at the 103.75 3rd square root relationship of the year’s low at the beginning of the month
- A close below 101.35 will turn us negative on the rate
- A move through 102.75 is desperately needed to restore some upside momentum
- The end of the week is a minor cycle turn window
USD/JPY Strategy: Clinging to reduced longs while above 101.35.
Price Time Analysis: GOLD
Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr
- XAU/USD touched its highest level since early September yesterday before failing just shy of the 6th square root relationship of the 2013 low near 1394
- Our near-term trend bias is higher in Gold while over 1349
- A close over 1395 is needed to signal that the metal has weathered the “cyclical storm” and is headed higher again
- A long-term cycle turn window ends today
- A daily close below 1349 will turn us negative on Gold
XAU/USD Strategy: Yesterday’s outside range day on a key day of the turn window warns of a reversal. Will exit remaining long position if 1349 breaks.
Focus Chart of the Day: USD/CAD
A few interesting cyclical relationships converge over the next few days in USD/CAD. As such, we favor a low of some sort developing during this time, but this is contingent upon any remaining weakness staying above the February closing low at 1.0940 and ideally the closer support level at 1.1010. The 1st square root relationship of the year’s high at 1.1125 is an important near-term pivot and a clear move through it is needed to confirm that a low is indeed in place. This would likely set up a new leg higher in Funds. Unexpected aggressive weakness below 1.0940 would undermine the case for positive resolution of the multi-week consolidation and risk triggering a more immediate and aggressive decline.

What’s inside:
- EURUSD broke the ‘neckline’ of a bearish ‘head-and-shoulders’ pattern, April trend-line
- Resistance in vicinity of 11825/80 likely to keep a lid on further strength
- Targeting the low to mid-11600s with more selling
Confidence is essential to successful trading, see this new guide – ’Building Confidence in Trading’.
Coming into last week we pointed out the likelihood of finally seeing a resolution of the range EURUSD had been stuck in for the past few weeks, and one of the outcomes we made note of as a possibility was for the triggering of a ’head-and-shoulders’ pattern. Indeed, we saw a break of the ’neckline’ along with a drop below the April trend-line. This led to decent selling before a minor bounce took shape during the latter part of last week.
Looking ahead to next week the euro is set up for further losses as the path of least resistance has turned lower. Looking to a capper on any further strength there is resistance in the 11825-11880 area (old support becomes new resistance). As long as the euro stays below this area a downward bias will remain firmly intact.
Looking lower towards support eyes will be on the August low at 11662 and the 2016 high of 11616, of which the latter just happens to align almost precisely with the measured move target of the ‘head-and-shoulders’ pattern (determined by subtracting the height of the pattern from the neckline).
Bottom line: Shorts look set to have the upperhand as a fresh month gets underway as long as the euro remains capped by resistance. On weakness, we’ll be watching how the euro responds to a drop into support levels.

Why and how do we use IG Client Sentiment in trading? See our guide and real-time data.
EURUSD: Retail trader data shows 37.3% of traders are net-long with the ratio of traders short to long at 1.68 to 1. In fact, traders have remained net-short since Apr 18 when EURUSD traded near 1.07831; price has moved 9.6% higher since then. The number of traders net-long is 15.4% lower than yesterday and 16.4% higher from last week, while the number of traders net-short is 0.4% higher than yesterday and 10.5% lower from last week.
We typically take a contrarian view to crowd sentiment, and the fact traders are net-short suggests EURUSD prices may continue to rise. Positioning is more net-short than yesterday but less net-short from last week. The combination of current sentiment and recent changes gives us a further mixed EURUSD trading bias.

GBPUSD: Retail trader data shows 38.2% of traders are net-long with the ratio of traders short to long at 1.62 to 1. In fact, traders have remained net-short since Sep 05 when GBPUSD traded near 1.29615; price has moved 3.4% higher since then. The number of traders net-long is 0.1% higher than yesterday and 13.4% higher from last week, while the number of traders net-short is 10.6% lower than yesterday and 18.3% lower from last week.
We typically take a contrarian view to crowd sentiment, and the fact traders are net-short suggests GBPUSD prices may continue to rise. Yet traders are less net-short than yesterday and compared with last week. Recent changes in sentiment warn that the current GBPUSD price trend may soon reverse lower despite the fact traders remain net-short.
