Weekly Price Time Analysis: EUR/USD
Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr
- EUR/USD managed to briefly overcome the 1.3415 2Q13 high this week
- However, a convincing close over 1.3415/30 is needed to shift the broader trend to positive
- Longer-term cycle studies suggest next week is a potential cycle turn window
- Some intermediate Gann related support is seen around 1.3300
- Only weakness under the 2nd square root progression of the month-to-date high at 1.3220 would suggest a reversal in trend and turn the outlook negative
Tactical EUR/USD Strategy: Still short against a weekly close over 1.3415.
Weekly Price Time Analysis: USD/JPY
Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr
- USD/JPY moved higher this week to test again resistance at the 5th square root progression of this year’s high in the 98.60 area
- While over the 2Q13 low near .9375 our longer-term trend bias will remain higher in the rate
- A close over 98.60 on a weekly basis is needed to confirm that an upside resumption is underway
- The second half of next week is a medium-term cycle turn window
- The 97.50 retracement confluence is intermediate support, but only aggressive weakness below the 2Q13 low on a multi-day closing basis would alter the broader postive prospects of the exchange rate
Tactical USD/JPY Strategy: Tactical longs favored against .9375.
Weekly Price Time Analysis: Gold
Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr
- XAU/USD overcame key Gann resistance at 1384 and traded to its highest level in over 2-months this week
- While over the 3rd square root progression of the year-to-date low in the 1280 area our broader bias will remain positive on the metal
- A weekly close over 1384 will be further evidence of a developing uptrend and exposes the 100% projection of the July advance at 1441
- The second half of next week is a medium-term cycle turn window
- The polarity principle suggests that 1350 is now important support, but only aggressive weakness below Gan support at 1280 would turn the broader technical outlook negative
Tactical Gold Strategy: We like tactical long positions in Gold while above 1280.

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.
