EURUSD 60 Minute Bars


The EURUSD continues to look constructive to the upside, but the 1.5850 area remains as strong resistance. Furthermore a break of the 1.5720 zone carves out a near term top and opens the way for  retest of the 1.5600 breakout.

STRATEGY: None

 

USDJPY 60 Minute Bars


Yesterday  we noted that support has held so far  at 98.50 at and as long as it is not challenged our upside view remains unchanged. The price action today validates our upside bias, but the pair needs to clear the overhang at 100.40 before we can feel truly confident in our 102.00 target

STRATEGY: Bullish against 97.66, target 102

 

GBPUSD 60 Minute Bars


We stated yesterday, that “Nothing has been more treacherous to trade than the price action in the GBPUSD over the past 24 hours.” and today’s massive head and shoulders on the hourly charts only confirms that viewpoint.  The price action has clearly shifted towards our bearish bias and the pair now looks to target 1.9750 as first test of support.

STRATEGY: Bearish, against 2.0271, target 1.9540

 

USDCHF 60 Minute Bars


After nearly getting stopped out yesterday, the price action in USDCHF looks far more favorable to our long bias. For the time being 1.000 is the most immediate challenge but the pair really needs to clear 1.1050 before longs can breath a sigh of relief.

STRATEGY: Bullish, against .9868, target 1.07

 

USDCAD 240 Minute Bars

Yesterday we noted the compression in volatility in USDCAD as the pair continues to traverse a very narrow channel of 1.0100 to 1.0230 with no immediate indication of which way it is likely  to resolve. We remain sidelined  watching for potential continuation once the range begins to break.

AUDUSD 240 Minute Bars




Yesterday we noted that 9250 remains formidable resistance and today’s action proves us true as the pair crumbles below 9200 and now targets 9150 support. The bearish reversal bodes badly for Aussie bulls and a break of 9150 opens the way for a  retrace of the recent bull wave.



NZDUSD 60 Minute Bars


The kiwi continues to hug the lower boundary of its very narrow channel but as it probes the 8000 level our bearish bias becomes stronger. A break below sees no major support until 7900 opening the way for a clean run by NZDUSD shorts.

STRATEGY: Bearish, against .8173, target TBD
