Weekly Foreign Exchange Price Time at a Glance:
Weekly Price Time Analysis: EUR/USD
Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr
- EUR/USD has moved steadily higher since rebounding off the 1×1 Gann angle line of the 2013 low near 1.3500 last week
- Our trend bias is lower in the Euro, however, while below the 2013 closing high near 1.3800
- The 1.3500 area remains a key downside pivot with weakness below needed to signal a resumption of the broader decline
- A cycle turn window is seen early next week
- Only a daily close back over 1.3800 would turn us positive on the Euro again
Weekly EUR/USD Strategy: Like the short side while under 1.3800.
Weekly Price Time Analysis: USD/JPY
Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr
- USD/JPY tested the 1×2 Gann angle line of the 2013 high at 102.65 before coming under renewed pressure
- Our broader bias is now negative in the rate while below 104.40
- The 100.80 level remains a key pivot that needs to be breached soon to undermine the positive cyclicality of last week’ low
- The middle of next week is a medium-term cycle turn window
- A weekly close back over 104.40 would turn us positive again on USD/JPY
Weekly USD/JPY Strategy: We like the short side in USD/JPY while below 104.40.
Weekly Price Time Analysis: GOLD
Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr
- XAU/USD traded to its highest level in three months this week
- Our broader trend bias remains positive in the metal while above the 1×2 Gann angle line of the 2013 closing low near 1270
- A confluence of Fibonacci and Gann levels between 1318/23 should provide strong resistance and a close above this zone is needed to trigger the next serious push higher in the metal
- A cycle turn window is seen around the middle of next week
- A daily close under 1270 would turn us negative on Gold
Weekly XAU/USD Strategy: Like being long while over 1270.
