Daily Forex Market by FXCC 14Mar2012 EUR/USD weak in Asia below 1.3080 EUR/USD has been accelerating lower ahead of the London opening to just hit fresh weekly lows stalling its fall ahead of solid support area at 1.3030, lows from the first week of Feb.Support at 1.3050 failed to hold a fourth attempt at testing the area, triggering in the process an option barrier and stops clustered just underneath. If the next downside hurdle at 1.3030 is taken out, psychological round number 1.3000 will come into play ahead of 1.2975, Feb 16 low. EUR/GBP sold off aggressively overnight, and is sitting above 0.8320 support at the moment, trading within a tight 0.8322-0.8332 intraday range so far this Wednesday after erasing nearly all of last week's gains in a singe day, losing around 1%.GBP/JPY is at 130.50 now, just 9 pips below session and weekly highs, little changed since Asian open, despite the fact USD/JPY is hitting yearly highs and highest since April 2011, because at the same time Cable is deep in the red around Tokyo and NY lows. The cross climbs +1.15% for the week so far, highest since August last year.

After that the price fell sharply and formed a bottom around 1.5660. We expect the price to continue its downward move as it is under bearish pressure (daily). This is also supported by the fact that both of our Moving Averages turned bearish and are moving above the price. Look for short positions in today’s trading session targeting 1.5601 (S1) and 1.5575 (S2).

Now it seems that the pair formed a strong support at 1.5649 (S1) a strong technical and psychological support level that it has been retested 2 times in February but price didn’t manage to break below it.On the other hand a break below 1.5649 (S1) we will then expect the price to retest 1.5625 (S2) and then further decline will then approach towards 1.5576 (S3).

This is supported by the fact that the 10 and the 20 Moving Averages are giving as a strong support in the uptrend as both of them are providing bullish signals. We remain bullish on the pair until we see a definite signal for correction or retracements and even for reversal. A proper confirmation for the long positions will be when the price manages to break above the first resistance level of 80.40 (R1). A stop loss should be placed above 79.35 (S2).

The euro has been trapped in a sideways direction between 1.3291 (R1) and 1.3182 (S1). If we switch to a higher timeframe (4 hours or daily) we can observe a double top and this is a signal for a trend reversal. The EURUSD whipsawed traders on February, breaking higher, breaking lower, trading sideways and lastly forming a double top giving signs for trend reversal. Our recommendation for today’s trading session is no position until we get a clearer trend direction. ------------- GBPUSD : 1.57839 / 1.57857 DAILY WEEKLY MONTHLY 1.5928 | 1.5879 | 1.5839 | 1.5807 1.5762 | 1.5735 | 1.5700 | 1.5654 SUMMARY : Down REND : Down trend MA10 : Bearish MA20 : Bearish STOCHASTIC : Neutral MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis GBPUSD made a sharp move downwards from 1.5860 towards 1.5762 level, successfully touching our support level and confirming our recommendations for short positions (+78 pips). Now the price has found a strong support at 1.5762, if it falls below this level we can expect the price to continue its downward move as it is under bearish pressure and it seems to be heading towards our support levels. This bearish pressure can also be confirmed by the moving averages that have turned bearish and the price is using them as a strong resistance.

A break above that level, it will indicate an upward break out from the trading range of the weekly chart. This is very important as it will determine our bias towards the next trading sessions. Overall, a break above that level we will look to confirm an uptrend as the outlook continues to be positive for the USDJPY. A proper confirmation for the long positions will be when the price manages to break above the first resistance level of 79.87 (R1). A stop loss should be placed below 79.28 (above S1).

A break above the first resistance level of 1.3212 (R1) would suggest a retest of 1.3385 (R2). On the other hand, a break below 1.3112 (S1) could trigger further bearish pressure targeting 1.3080 (S2) and a further fall will then focus on the next target at 1.3026 (S3). ------------- GBPUSD : 1.57283 / 1.57291 DAILY WEEKLY MONTHLY High: 1.57359 | Low: 1.56745 | Chg: 0.0036 0.23% 1.5923 | 1.5877 | 1.5828 | 1.5771 1.5676 | 1.5643 | 1.5604 | 1.5567 SUMMARY : Down TREND : down trend MA10 : Bullish MA20 : bullish STOCHASTIC : neutral MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis GBPUSD raised sharply yesterday and formed another correction upwards (intraday) above 1.5676 (S1) and continued in rise from 1.5643 (S2). If GBPUSD holds above first suppot level we can expect target at 1.5771 (R1). Further rise will then focus on 1.5828 (R3). On the other hand, if the price does not manage to hold above 1.5676 we can expect the price to move downwards and retest the second support level at 1.5643 (S1) a technical and psychological level for the bulls. ----------------- USDJPY : 78.455 / 78.460 DAILY WEEKLY MONTHLY High: 78.66 | Low: 78.355 | Chg: 0.018 0.02% 80.29 | 79.85 | 79.30 | 78.66 77.80 | 77.33 | 76.78 | 76.23 SUMMARY : up TREND : up trend MA10 : Bullish MA20 : bullish STOCHASTIC : neutral MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis The USDJPY moved upwards and formed atop at 78.66 (R1) and now it is moving towards 78.80 (S1) for a correction. If the price breaks above 78.66 level we will suggest further rise towards 79.30 (R2) and then 79.85 (R3). The pair is moving upwards since beginning of February 2012 and both of our moving averages 10 and 20 are pointed bullish. Our recommendation for today’s session is long positions at current price with a stop loss below 77.80 (S1).

A break above the first resistance level of 1.3285 (R1) would suggest a target of 1.3322 (R2). If the price holds its momentum on the upside we can expect a further rise towards 1.3367 (R3). On the other hand, if the price does not manage to break above 1.3222 (R2) we can expect the pair to retest support at 1.3153 (S2) and a further fall will be limited to 1.3096 (S3). -------------- GBPUSD : 1.58145 / 1.58157 DAILY WEEKLY MONTHLY High: 1.58168 | Low: 1.57581 | Chg: 0.0062 0.39% 1.5961 | 1.5929 | 1.5885 | 1.5848 1.5757 | 1.5729 | 1.5700 | 1.5665 SUMMARY : Down TREND down : trend MA10 : Bullish MA20 : bullish STOCHASTIC : neutral MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis GBPUSD is forming lower tops, as it fell for 3 consecutive days after forming a high at 1.5929 (R3), and formed a strong support level at 1.5729 (S2). Following that we saw a correction towards 1.5799 and it seems the pair will re-test our support levels soon. A break below 1.5757 (S1) would suggest a target of 1.5729 (S2) and a further fall will then focus on the next target at 1.5700 (S3) a technical and psychological level.

It seems the pair will re-test a high soon. If the price will have enough momentum we can expect a rise towards 1.3322 (R1) and then a focus on 1.3367 (R2), a strong technical and psychological level. Our recommendation for today’s trading session is no position as we do not have a clear trend direction. - GBPUSD 1.57729 / 1.57734 DAILY WEEKLY MONTHLY High: 1.5819 | Low: 1.57669 | Chg: -0.0041 -0.26% Resistance Levels :1.6023 | 1.5977 | 1.5929 | 1.5885 Support Levels : 1.5723 | 1.5677 | 1.5612 | 1.5578 SUMMARY : neutral TREND : sideway MA10 : bearish MA20 : Bearish STOCHASTIC : neutral MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis GBPUSD fell yesterday and was supported close to 1.5723 (S1). It seems it will be retesting that level again. A break below that level will trap the pair in a trading range. We remain flat for today’s trading session until we see a break-out upwards or downwards. No position. - USDJPY 77.661 / 77.666 DAILY WEEKLY MONTHLY High: 77.75 | Low: 77.519 | Chg: 0.019 0.02% Resistance Levels : 79.26 | 78.89 | 78.28 | 77.76 Support Levels : 77.19 | 76.83 | 76.22 | 75.78 SUMMARY : up TREND : up trend MA10 : Bullish MA20 : bullish STOCHASTIC : neutral MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis USDJPY rose yesterday and formed a top at 77.76 (R1). A break above that level will then focus attention on 78.28 (R2) a technical level for a trend reversal. If we switch our timeframe to H4 we can see the price is approaching the record high for the year of 77.28 and a break above that level, brings the possibility for a break out and trend reversal for an uptrend. We remain at no positions at the moment until we see a break out upwards or if the above scenario fails then obviously we are still trapped in a trading range. No position.
