Weekly Technical Outlook EUR/USD by acfx

The prevailing weekly trend is short.

The weekly chart has been in a downtrend defined by EURUSD putting in a series of lower lows and lower highs since the breach of the 2nd October swing low. Furthermore the price action is confined within its channel.

The stochastic is in the upper levels of its neutral range but is experiencing a negative divergence.

The Alligator indicator is neutral as the deferred MA’s are becoming inter twined. However, this could be to an opportunity to sell EURUSD off a lower time frame as the price action has in effect pulled back into its averages.

Possible range

The weekly range based upon the most recent Average True Range readings is 269 pips. This implies that EURUSD could potentially trade between 1.3075 and 1.3613.

Long scenario

§ Conservative long above 1.3485 being the last daily fractal high.

§ Aggressive long neutral.

Short scenario

§ Conservative short, trade beneath 1.3003 being the last daily fractal.

§ Aggressive short from lower time frame with price action in the deferred MA’s.

Notes

Longs are counter trend to the prevailing trend.

Weekly Technical Outlook GBP/USD by acfx

The price action is confined within a large converging triangle that was formed off the January 2009 lows. It would be expected that resolution of this pattern would be volatile and with a great deal of momentum.

Weekly Technical Outlook USD/JPY by acfx

Overview

The prevailing weekly trend is long.

A normalized swing count has not given any clear direction with respect to the longer term trend but the down trend channel and trend line have made the bearish trend fairly obvious. However the multiyear trend line break must be viewed closely for further signs for a broad change of trend.

The stochastic has breached the overbought area and is setting up a possible bearish hidden divergence

The Alligator indicator is bullish but price is extended from its MA’s.

Possible range

The daily range based upon the most recent Average True Range readings is 1.4786. This implies that USDJPY could potentially trade between 81.37 and 84.33.

Weekly Technical Outlook USD/CHF by acfx

Overview

The prevailing weekly trend is long.

Long scenario

§ Conservative long above 0.9334 being the last weekly fractal high.

§ Aggressive long off a lower time.

Short scenario

§ Conservative short beneath 0.8930 being the last weekly fractal low.
