Friday's fall and touching of 133.24 minor support, with 4 hours MACD crossed below signal line, suggests that choppy recovery from 131.56 has completed at 135.68 already. Initial bias is turned to the downside this week for retesting 131.56 first. Break will bring fall resumption towards 129.02 key support next. ... http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20091107/eur-jpy-weekly-technical-outlook.htm http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20091107/eur-jpy-weekly-technical-outlook.htm Sat, 07 Nov 2009 12:53:14 EST EUR/CHF continued to gyrate in established range last week and outlook remains unchanged. Risk remains on the downside with 1.5238 resistance intact and another fall cannot be ruled out. But even in that case, downside should be contained by 1.5007 key support to complete the fall from 1.5364 and bring strong rebound. On the upside, decisive break of 1.5238 will indicate that fall from 1.5364 has finally completed and will turn bias back to the upside for retesting 1.5364/5446 resistance zone. http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20091107/eur-chf-weekly-technical-outlook.htm http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20091107/eur-chf-weekly-technical-outlook.htm Sat, 07 Nov 2009 12:49:16 EST EUR/GBP's recovery lost steam after hitting 4 hours 55 EMA and turned sideway. Initial bias remains mildly on the downside this week. Break of 0.8911 will indicate that correction from 0.9410 has resumed and should target 100% projection of 0.9410 to 0.8996 from 0.9238 at 0.8824 next. Nevertheless, we should see loss of downside momentum in next fall and correction from 0.9410 is expected to conclude inside .8704/8837 support zone. Meanwhile, on the upside, above 0.9060 minor resistance will arg... http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20091107/eur-gbp-weekly-technical-outlook.htm http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20091107/eur-gbp-weekly-technical-outlook.htm Sat, 07 Nov 2009 12:46:59 EST USD/CAD pulled back sharply after edging higher to 1.0851 but such pull back was contained at 1.0593 and USD/CAD rebounded strongly towards the end of the week. Initial bias is mildly on the upside this week for a test on 1.0851 first. Break there will confirm that whole rise from 1.0205 has resumed and should target 1.1123 resistance next. On the downside, below 1.0653 minor support will argue that correction from 1.0851 is still in progress and will turn bias back to the downside for 1.0593 an... http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20091107/usd-cad-weekly-technical-outlook.htm http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20091107/usd-cad-weekly-technical-outlook.htm Sat, 07 Nov 2009 12:44:23 EST AUD/USD edged lower to 0.8915 last week but few strong support from medium term channel and rebounded. The break of 0.9180 resistance argue that the choppy correction from 0.9326 has completed. Initial bias is mildly on the upside this week for a test of 0.9326 high first. On the downside, below 0.9022 will indicate that rebound from 0.8915 has completed and will flip intraday to bias to the downside for deeper fall. http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20091107/aud-usd-weekly-technical-outlook.htm http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20091107/aud-usd-weekly-technical-outlook.htm Sat, 07 Nov 2009 12:41:35 EST USD/CHF dropped sharply after edging higher to 1.0337 last week. With 1.0224 minor resistance intact, initial bias remains mildly on the downside this week and deeper fall could still be seen. But still, downside is expected to be contained above 1.0032 low and bring rebound. Above 1.0224 will flip intraday bias back to the upside and further break of 1.0337 will bring rise resumption to 1.0452 resistance next. http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20091107/usd-chf-weekly-technical-outlook.htm http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20091107/usd-chf-weekly-technical-outlook.htm Sat, 07 Nov 2009 12:38:40 EST GBP/USD rebounded strongly last week and the break of 1.6603 resistance mixed up the short term outlook.

Initial bias is still mildly on the upside this week and further rise cannot be ruled out. But after all, upside is expected to be limited by 1.5061 resistance and bring fall resumption.

The rise from 1.4626 is more likely resumption of uptrend from 1.3748, another rise towards 1.5200 is now in favor. Key support level is located at 1.4626, fall below this level will indicate that the uptrend from 1.3748 has completed at 1.5062 already, then the following downtrend could take price back to 1.4000 area. http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20091107/eurusd.htm http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20091107/eurusd.htm Sat, 07 Nov 2009 00:19:10 EST So far, the major pairs is narrow trading after that the dollar appeal as a refuge was boosted slightly throughout the currencies market in the previous EU session after that the US Jobs report came out gloomy and worse than forecasted, having the jobless rate of the country climbing to the highest ... http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20091106/majors-narrow-trading-hellip.htm http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20091106/majors-narrow-trading-hellip.htm Fri, 06 Nov 2009 20:21:56 EST The U.S. dollar pared its advance seen after the release of abysmal non-farm-payrolls report earlier today. The labor report showed that unemployment rose to the highest in 26 years to 10.2%. The dollar index, a gauge of the dollar\'s strength versus six major currencies is now at 75.69 after reachin... http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20091106/the-dollar-retraces-gains.htm http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20091106/the-dollar-retraces-gains.htm Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:03:40 EST Gold made a surprise retest of $1100/oz, temporarily peaking over the highly psychological level before retreating back towards $1090/oz. What made gold's slight pop surprising is the fact that it came in reaction to much weaker than expected U.S. unemployment data. While one would expect a flight towards the Dollar and consequently a pullback in gold due to their negative correlation, the risk trades are holding strong thus far considering the circumstances. It seems investors were initially en... http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20091106/gold-steps-back-after-peaking-past-1100-oz.htm http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20091106/gold-steps-back-after-peaking-past-1100-oz.htm Fri, 06 Nov 2009 12:55:30 EST While the Cable and EUR/USD are holding strong, the USD/JPY is having the negative reaction one would expect from such negative U.S. unemployment data. Both the headline Unemployment Rate figure and Service Employment Change data points came in weaker than expected, with unemployment breaching the psychological 10% level (10.2%). As a result, investors are favoring the Yen over the Dollar as a safe haven, sending the USD/JPY below our previous 2nd tier uptrend line and the psychological 90 level... http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20091106/usd-jpy-sinks-below-90-reaction-tos-unemployment-data.htm http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20091106/usd-jpy-sinks-below-90-reaction-tos-unemployment-data.htm Fri, 06 Nov 2009 12:52:49 EST As with the EUR/USD, the Cable is showing a slight positive reaction to the much worse than expected U.S. headline Unemployment Rate (10.2%). The Unemployment Rate breached the psychological 10% level we warned about, yet investors are opting to stick with the riskier investment vehicles. However, as we explained in our EUR/USD analysis, the initial counter-intuitive reaction for the Dollar doesn't necessarily tell us how the rest of the session will pan out. http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20091106/gbp-usd-consolidates-as-investors-digest-disappointing-unemployment-data.htm http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20091106/gbp-usd-consolidates-as-investors-digest-disappointing-unemployment-data.htm Fri, 06 Nov 2009 12:50:50 EST The EUR/USD is fluctuating around our 1st tier downtrend and 4th tier uptrend lines as investors digest the worse than expected U.S. unemployment data. The headline Unemployment Rate breached 10% (10.2%) and the services unemployment change data also came in weaker than anticipated. While we would normally expect a sharp pullback in the EUR/USD and broad-based preference for the Dollar in reaction to the news, the currency pair is instead exerting quite a bit of strength. http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20091106/eur-usd-fluctuates-despite-negatives-unemployment-data.htm http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20091106/eur-usd-fluctuates-despite-negatives-unemployment-data.htm Fri, 06 Nov 2009 12:48:24 EST The dollar is losing grounds ahead of the U.S. jobs report, which is expected to reveal that there are fewer Americans being laid off from their job last month.A lower amount employees losing their job is a good sign, where it encourages investors to turn to higher yielding currencies, while selling... http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20091106/calm-markets-ahead-ofs-jobs-report.htm http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20091106/calm-markets-ahead-ofs-jobs-report.htm Fri, 06 Nov 2009 11:46:34 EST Update on supports and resistances. http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20091106/ise-fx-australian-dollar-the-downside-prevails.htm http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20091106/ise-fx-australian-dollar-the-downside-prevails.htm Fri, 06 Nov 2009 10:50:09 EST Update on supports and resistances. http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20091106/ise-fx-canadian-dollar-caution.htm http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20091106/ise-fx-canadian-dollar-caution.htm Fri, 06 Nov 2009 10:50:09 EST
