Weekly Foreign Exchange Price Time at a Glance:
Weekly Price Time Analysis: EUR/USD
Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr
- EUR/USD recorded a new multi-year high this week. But so far has been unable to surpass key resistance at 1.3970
- Our longer-term trend bias is positive while above 1.3640
- The 50% retracement near 1.3970 is key resistance and needs to be convincingly overcome to signal the ‘all clear’ for a more important run higher
- A cycle turn window is seen late next week
Weekly EUR/USD Strategy: Looking to buy on weakness.
Weekly Price Time Analysis: USD/JPY
Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr
- USD/JPY has come under aggressive downside pressure following last week’s failure at the 3rdsquare root relationshipof the year’s low at 103.75
- Our broader bias is negative in the rate while below 104.40
- The year’s low near 100.75 is critical support with a move below having very ominous implications for the exchange rate
- A cycle turn window is seen next week
- A weekly close back over 104.40 would turn us positive again on USD/JPY
Weekly USD/JPY Strategy: We like tactical short positions in USD/JPY while below 104.40 on a weekly close basis.
Weekly Price Time Analysis: GOLD
Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr
- XAU/USD touched its highest level in 7-months on Friday
- Our broader trend bias remains positive in the metal while above 1348
- The 1395 level is key resistance with traction above needed to trigger gurther gains
- Early next week is an important cycle turn window for the metal
- A daily close under 1348 would turn us negative on Gold
Weekly XAU/USD Strategy: Like being long while over 1348
