Weekly Foreign Exchange Price Time at a Glance:
Weekly Price Time Analysis: EUR/USD
Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr
- EUR/USD came under aggressive pressure this past week after failing to overcome key resistance at 1.3970
- Our longer-term trend bias is positive while above 1.3730
- Fibonacci resistance at 1.3970 remains key and needs to be convincingly overcome to signal the ‘all clear’ for a more important run higher
- A cycle turn window is next week
- A move under 1.3730 will turn us negative on the Euro
Weekly EUR/USD Strategy: May look to sell soon if price action confirms a break.
Weekly Price Time Analysis: USD/JPY
Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr
- USD/JPY found support this week near the 4th square root relationship of the year’s high around 101.35
- 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 around the middle of 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 since early September during the Monday cycle turn window before turning sharply lower from the 6th square root relationship of the 2013 low
- Weakness below 1348 has turned us negative on the metal
- A confluence of several key Fibonacci and Gann levels between 1310/18 needs to be broken to confirm that a more important move lower is indeed underway
- The next important turn window is seen in early April
- A daily close back over 1380 would turn us positive again on the metal
Weekly XAU/USD Strategy: Like selling into strength against 1380.
